1073 Report
There were many people in Gu Nian’s laboratory today.
Almost all of the Gu family members, including Huo Junhao, Qian Liangduo, and Hu Liang, were gathered around.
As time passed by, Gu Xin suddenly exclaimed in surprise, ” “It’s really salt!”
Grandpa Gu stepped forward and tasted a little. “Yes, fine salt.”
father, ” Gu Nian turned to look at Gu shouxin, ” you have to send someone to the Salt Lake to guard it. Boiling salt is one way. We can also directly mine it. If we can find a few more salt lakes, The Price of Salt in the great Zhou will definitely drop.”
Grandpa Gu nodded. that’s right. People have to eat salt. Otherwise, they won’t have any strength.
Gu shouxin pondered for a while and looked at Gu Xin, ” Xinxin, how did you find that Lake? ”
Gu Xin explained the situation.
To be honest, she just thought that it was beautiful and wanted to go over to take a look. She even wanted to go and catch fish.
Unfortunately, there were no fish in the Salt Lake.
Salt lakes were not like the ocean, where fish could still survive.
After Gu shouxin heard this, he had a plan in his heart.
He immediately went to the Peng family to borrow people. Although the Emperor had sent people to him, it was not enough.
When general Peng heard that they had found a Lake that could produce salt, he was extremely excited.
It had to be known that the great Zhou’s salt came from the sea, and it was only because someone in the previous dynasty had used the method of drying salt that fine salt was produced.
Kun city was located in the Western part of the great Zhou Dynasty and was quite far from the sea. The cost of transporting salt to this place was very high. Some civil officials in the court even thought that they could transport less salt over since there had not been a war in recent years.
The Emperor was a good Emperor, and it was impossible for him to cut short the food and clothing of his soldiers.
Other than the Peng family Army that was guarding the border in kun city, the soldiers in the North were in a similar situation.
If salt was transported to these two places, The Price of Salt in the great Zhou would be higher. The commoners would usually buy coarse salt to eat and they were very thrifty.
If there were a few more salt lakes, everyone in the great Zhou Dynasty would be able to afford to eat. They would eat as much as they could, and there would be no need to think about how expensive it was and not eat it sparingly.
General Peng knew that too little salt was bad for the body.
Therefore, general Peng asked the eldest son of the second branch, Peng Erlang, to accompany the Gu family without a word.
This time, Gu Xin and her sister were naturally going with them. Gu Nian had to go because she wanted to tell them that the things by the lake were useful.
After walking another round, Gu Nian realized that the little koi fish was indeed a little koi fish. It could even be found in such an inconspicuous place.
Not only did Gu Nian have this idea, but the people of the Peng family Army also had this idea. They would also come here in the past few years because they would reach the Yun nation in two days ‘time.
Unfortunately, no one had discovered the lake.
There were many lakes here. As long as they had enough water, who would care about the lakes?
Take Gu Xin for example. She simply thought that the scenery there was good and the lake was beautiful.
Speaking of which, kun state was not as prosperous as other state capitals. However, the Gu family had been going out of the city frequently recently. They realized that the scenery in kun state was absolutely good.
With the Peng family’s Army guarding the place, Gu shouxin immediately wrote a letter to report to the Emperor. Just as Gu Nian had said, their family’s second Princess was not far away. This Salt Lake was discovered by Gu Xin and Gu shouxin also explained this in the letter. Her daughter was mischievous and found a Lake in the mountains. There were no fish in the lake and the water was salty. The stones by the lake were boiled and fine salt was produced.
They were using the Peng family’s communication channel, and they arrived at the palace in half a month. That was really an eight-hundred-mile emergency!
