This land was contracted by me [farming]

County Office Study.

Feng Zhu was fanning with a folding fan in his hand. He stared at Zhao Keran for a while, then pointed the folding fan in Zhao Keran's direction and fanned it hard.

A gentle breeze picked up the broken hair on Zhao Keran's temples.

"Brother Ran, are you serious?"

After Feng Zhu's elder brother Feng Qing used the drying method to make salt, the amount of salt produced was completely different from that in the past.

After Feng Qing tested the water like this, people thoroughly understood the beauty of the tanning method.As long as it is sea salt and lake salt in Dayuan today, all the salt is made by the sun-dried method instead of the steaming method.

But the salt content is too high to a certain level, and domestic sales cannot be sold.

Nowadays, the merchants in Jingyang Bianguan do not need salt at all. Fortunately, the former refugees settled in Jingyang and implemented the Mintun in time.

Otherwise, the army will have to think about the food issue again.

"Of course it's true. Now that we have a high salt production in Dayuan, it doesn't mean that it's the same outside. At that time, the Huaixi envoy told me that the people in Huaixi still ate mud salt. The salt produced by Xu's family was used by the army and the whole Jing'an Mansion is almost enough to use, but other than that, let's talk about doing business with Huaixi..."

Zhao Keran touched his chin, blinked and said: "The salt lake is not very big, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Feng Zhu turned the fan in the other direction and fanned himself happily. He was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Brother told me a few days ago that the salt was almost melted, and he never worried about too much salt. Hahahaha. Since Huaixi is short of salt, I will go talk to my elder brother and ask him to write an account, and if I want to get the salt, I won’t have to worry about selling it.”

Seeing that Feng Zhu stopped fanning himself, Zhao Keran said slowly, "Brother Feng, I recently inspected the work in the printing workshop. I accidentally saw a book. There are a few words that make sense."

Feng Zhu ticked the box, and quickly asked: "What word? Let me listen to my brother?"

"Unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the rabbit will kill the dog." Zhao Keran looked at Feng Zhu's fan, and said with a final word, "Cross the river and tear down the bridge."

It made Feng Zhu laugh so hard that he almost couldn't straighten up. After he slowed down, he leaned forward and continued to fan Zhao Keran, "Well, this is not like killing a donkey or killing a donkey. , cross the river and demolish the bridge?"

Zhao Keran raised his eyebrows, saying yes.

Feng Zhu found it novel, he always felt that every time he saw Zhao Keran, the other party would show him a side he had never seen before, which was very interesting, "I didn't know that you held grudges so much, and turned a corner to hurt me so much."

"If Your Majesty agrees to use salt to trade with Huaixi, the troublesome salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River will probably stop a lot later." Zhao Keran pretended to be stupid, not wanting to say more, and even changed the subject.

When Feng Zhu started talking about the business, he also said: "Those traders, the salt they sold before is not called salt. It's cheaper than the salt transportation company, but it's all mixed with soil to cheat money.

At that time, there wasn't much salt, and the Salt Transport Department didn't care about them. What's more, the presence of these people really made it easy for those who couldn't afford salt.Everyone is in peace if the well water does not violate the river water.

Now that the price of salt transportation is low, who can buy their bad-hearted salt again?They still have the face to make trouble? "

Speaking of the excitement, Feng Zhu closed his fan and slapped it hard on the table, "Although the Department of Salt Transport is not a public office, it is also a place where the court ordered officials to stay. If it weren't for my elder brother who is used to being a Bodhisattva, these Every trader counts as one, and I don’t know how many times I’ve been in prison!”

Zhao Keran was startled by his sudden appearance.

"Brother Feng, don't be angry. People die for money, and birds die for food. Behind these vendors are all aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if you think about it, your brother doesn't want to make troubles, and calm things down." Zhao Keran persuaded: "After this incident , Where can those who sell salt sell it with soil? Unless they sell it cheaper than before. That’s fine, there will always be people who are willing to spend less money, and there will always be poorer people.”

Feng Zhu understood the truth, but he just couldn't get angry.

Zhao Keran comforted him a few words, and when the anger subsided, Feng Zhu and Zhao Keran bid farewell, "I have to go back earlier to write to my brother, but brother, thank you very much today. I can't count what the Feng family owes you now. ..."

"What are you talking about? Go quickly, drive slowly on the road, don't scare people."

Feng Zhu nodded and agreed, "Okay, okay, you're really a parent officer, it's heartbreaking."

"I was afraid that you would bump into someone, and I would have to accuse you personally." Zhao Keran joked.

Feng Zhu patted Zhao Keran's head lightly with a fan, and said angrily, "Then I have to thank you for reminding me, you are really my good brother."

Zhao Keran nodded solemnly, "Well, you should."

Feng Zhu came out holding back his anger, and walked away holding back his anger.

When he got to the door, he still didn't forget to shout angrily towards Ya Nei: "On the way back to the mansion, the car drives slowly for me, do you hear me?"

The coachman responded submissively on his face, but he also wondered why Lord Feng didn't let him go racing today.

A galloping horse came galloping past Feng Zhu's carriage, Xu Jun got off the horse neatly, and ran towards the county government in a hurry.

The county government guards were all people he had sent before, but even though they knew each other, the notification still made sense.

Xu Jun couldn't wait for that time, so he followed the passer-by into the county government office.

The guards looked at each other, not knowing whether to stop or not.

Before the guards in Tongchuan had time to report, Xu Jun hurriedly knocked on the door of Zhao Keran's study.

Zhao Keran's headache was caused by the knocking sound on the door. Could it be that Huo An didn't keep an eye on the little fish and let the little fish play around with the big girl?

"Come in."

Zhao Keran just put on his brother's airs and wanted to teach him a lesson.

Seeing Xu Jun in military uniform, he stepped forward and said anxiously: "Magistrate Zhao, I have something to ask for, and I am too anxious to break into the county office rashly. Please forgive me, magistrate Zhao."

Zhao Keran silently sealed the words of admonishing his younger brother, and asked following Xu Jun's words: "General, please tell me something."

"Marshal Huo ordered me to come here this time. I hope County Magistrate Zhao can help me get some doctors to go to the front to treat the wounded soldiers." Sweat dripped from Xu Jun's forehead, but he seemed to be in a hurry.

Hearing this, Zhao Keran quickly asked someone to prepare a carriage, and went directly to the yard where he settled several doctors.

The location of the medical school is located in a big house with mountains and rivers. The house covers a large area and is more than enough to accommodate a thousand people.

This is Hong Feng's property. After he heard that Zhao Keran was looking for a place to build a college about medical treatment, he immediately came to the door and told about this place.

Zhao Keran was also very satisfied after seeing it, the house is well preserved, and it only needs to be repaired before it can be put into use.

Now that the medical school is still being repaired, several doctors who came from afar asked Zhao Keran to arrange it in a courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

When Zhao Keran came, there were a few women talking and laughing in front of the yard choosing vegetables.

As soon as Aunt Hua looked up and saw Zhao Keran coming, she quickly put down what she was doing, subconsciously rubbed her dirty hands on her clothes, and asked, "Master County Magistrate, why are you here today?"

Aunt Hua is an aunt in the same village as Wang Chunhua, and she has been following Wang Chunhua to cook for the various workshops that provide food for the county government.

Except for Wang Chunhua, she cooks the most delicious food, and she is also quick-witted.Zhao Keran asked her to come to this courtyard to cook meals for several doctors, and Aunt Hua will also be in charge of the canteen of the medical school in the future.

Aunt Hua was overjoyed when she heard the news, she took a few kitchen helpers and lived in the courtyard.

"I'm looking for some doctors, are they in the courtyard?" Zhao Keran asked.

Aunt Hua nodded and said, "They're all inside. I can only see people when I eat every day, and I don't see anyone at other times."

For these doctors, Aunt Hua had a lot to say, but she could also understand their expressions.The county magistrate of Zhao came here in a hurry with people, he must have come here to look for someone on something important.

"My lord, let me call for you. I usually call them to eat."

Aunt Hua led the people to the middle of the courtyard, took a deep breath, and roared loudly, "Doctors! Come out quickly! The county magistrate is here to find you!"

A woman went to the kitchen halfway to fetch a glass of water and stood beside Aunt Hua.

She yelled four or five times in a row, until Aunt Hua coughed, and the woman habitually passed water to Aunt Hua.After Aunt Hua drank a glass of water, someone finally opened the door.

One opened the door, and the others followed suit.

Qi Siming saw Zhao Keran at a glance in the crowd, and he wanted to have a good time with the little county magistrate to praise the scalpel he gave him.

But Zhao Keran didn't give him this chance, "Several doctors, Qingyuguan was attacked by Beidan. The casualties were heavy, and now doctors are needed to treat them. Dare I ask you, who is willing to go with me this time?"

After several people glanced at each other, everyone's eyes were shining, Qi Siming said, "All of us will go."

Xu Jun thought that these doctors were unwilling to take risks, but unexpectedly they all agreed.

It's just that they look a little weird.

He pulled Zhao Keran, and asked in a low voice, "Why do they look like this?"

Zhao Keran knew in his heart that he wanted to go to the battlefield to see what he had learned these days.

But Zhao Keran didn't say it clearly, he just shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

Huo Yuan only found out about Zhao Keran's going to the front line at night.

"Where did you say the magistrate went?"

The guard who came back was too frightened to move by Huo Yuan, and replied tremblingly: "Going to the front line, General Xu came to find Sir, and asked him to help find some doctors. After Sir took General to find Dr. Qi and others, he himself I also went to the front line..."

"Nonsense!" Huo Yuan hurried to the stables, jumped on his horse, and ran towards Qingyu Pass.

When Zhao Keran came to Qingyuguan this time, the Xu family, the Hong family and several other small aristocratic families put in a lot of effort, buying a lot of medicine and wine quickly and followed closely behind.

Xu Jun was a little puzzled, "Magistrate Zhao, why did Steward Xu buy so many trucks of alcohol? Frontier officers and soldiers are generally not allowed to drink spirits. You are all spirits. Sending them away must be a waste."

Zhao Keran didn't speak, but Qi Siming touched his beard and said inscrutablely: "The general will know the magical effect of this spirit later."
