Chapter 37

When you hear the word "you Yue" from Jiang Xuening's mouth, you Fangyin's first reaction is surprise, because I don't know how she can guess so accurately, but just a moment later, this surprise turns into panic -

her boss has helped her too much.

She doesn't want to give her boss any more trouble.

Not to mention, this person is her sister you Yue, who is very difficult to deal with. She came back yesterday and said a lot of unpleasant things

Never let the second girl know!

At the moment, she slowly pulled her palm back from Jiang Xuening's hand and said, "no, my injury has nothing to do with my second sister. It's my fault. It doesn't matter if it's a small injury. It'll be fine after a few days. "

Jiang Xuening leaned against the pillow and looked at her.

A pair of eyeground examination, rare to become some sharp, she slowly said: "I just asked if your second sister has come back, and did not say that your injury is caused by your second sister, why are you so anxious to explain for her?"

You Fangyin then realized that she was in a hurry, and her ability to lie was not good, let alone to her savior. She was embarrassed for a moment and muttered: "because Fangyin knew that the two girls were really good to me. She was afraid that the two girls might misunderstand and and quarrel with her two sisters. After all, it's said that the second girl and my second sister are reading with the princess in the palace. They should get along with each other if they don't look up and look down. My second elder sister is very powerful... "

Great?

By her a press into the fish tank, words do not dare to refute two more "fierce"?

Jiang Xuening smiles from the bottom of her heart and her eyes move. She suddenly asks, "are you afraid that I will take charge of this matter and offend your sister? Is it hard to live in the palace?"

You Fang Yin was stunned. After a long time, she slowly lowered her head and said, "yes."

Jiang Xuening was silent.

You Fangyin was afraid that she would be angry or sad, so she explained in a hurry: "my second sister is very popular with her father and mother at home, but she has a bad temper. I heard that even the Yan Shi Zi and the royal highness of the Linzi royal family came to the hall on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, and the paintings she painted were still the love of the royal highness of the palace. If, if, because of my misunderstanding, there is a conflict between the two girls and my two elder sisters. Fangyin really doesn't dare to think about it, and she is very sorry... "

Jiang Xuening almost laughed.

The girl really didn't understand the situation. She seemed to regard you Yue as the most terrible and powerful person in her life. She was afraid that she would be bullied by you Yue. That's why she was so complacent.

It's a living air bag.

It's a little irritating to watch.

But I want to protect her from the bottom of my heart. I'd rather put up with this grievance than let her know that you Yue is domineering in the house for fear that she will be involved.

Jiang Xuening and you Yue's resentment is true. At the moment, her slender fingers gently put on the corner of the case, slowly turned around, and suddenly she thought about it.

Originally raised eyebrows, slowly drooping down.

she seemed to think of what was unbearable, and sighed in a faint way. She had hung a trace of real bitterness on her lips. "This is, your two sisters are very fond of the royal highness of Princess Royal, very powerful."

You Fangyin was still nervous. She was afraid that Jiang Xuening might offend you Yue. When she saw that she was suddenly in a low mood, she felt a thump in her heart and blurted out: "she, she bullied two girls?"

Jiang Xuening held the corner of the case and buried his head.

One hand was slowly clenched where you Fangyin could see it, and said: "the night before yesterday, when we were still in the palace, we were talking about an adult in front of us. As I was saying this, I didn't know what irritated her, so she told me to go to her side. I passed by, but I didn't expect that she suddenly started. She was so fierce that she took me and me... "

At this point, it is a bit choking.

I can't go any further.

God knows she hasn't pretended for a long time. She almost laughed just now.

At the moment, he just buried his head and didn't let you Fangyin see his face. He also quickly raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eyes without any tears.

Inside, tang'er and lian'er look at each other: is there something wrong with our girl's soft painting style?

But when she finished, the effect was better than nothing.

What did you do to her?

All of a sudden, you Fangyin is thinking about this problem. For a moment, she thinks of her rescue in you mansion that day. For a moment, she thinks of her crying but gently embracing her arms yesterday. She also thinks of Jiang Xuening's words that day.

She still dare not forget that sentence.

In order to save her, the two girls gave up their biggest dependence in this life.

But now her second sister is not only bullying her, but also bullying her!Hang on the side of the body, cage in the sleeve fingers quietly grip!

You Fangyin's eyes suddenly turned red.

The trembling of her body, though it had been, was quite different from the trembling of her body, which could not be dissipated in a moment.

Jiang Xuening then raised her head, turned her eyes to see her again, raised her lips and gave her a smile.

The more brilliant it is, the more dazzling it will be in you Fangyin's eyes.

Jiang Xuening reached out again to pull her to sit down. There was a deep smile at the bottom of her eyes, but she went to Wensheng to comfort her: "Oh, it's all my fault. Why do you mention this well? After all, I'm not favored at home, and I'm not liked by noble people in the palace, so I can't compare with your second sister. I should have made her taboo by accident. Where in the palace is there anyone who is not wronged? I'll bear it. It's only half a year. "

You Fangyin sat down, but her eyes were down, and her body was not half relaxed. Instead, it was tighter than before.

Jiang Xuening first sent tang'er and lian'er out, pretending to be relaxed: "look at me, I'm patronizing you to see your injury, and I've forgotten to get down to business. You have a lot of money in your hand now, and you can hardly be regarded as a businessman. I've heard that for more than a month recently, a salt farm owner from Sichuan, whose surname seems to be Ren Weizhi, has been running outside and wants to raise a sum of money to continue to develop his salt farm. Many people know that their salt farm has been boiling salt for more than 100 years, and there has been no bittern underground for a long time, so even if this little boss Ren said he was willing to pay dividends to the salt farm in the future according to the proportion of everyone's money, everyone was not willing to invest. But this little boss Ren also said that he invented a new tool, which can drill deeper into the salt well.... "

Most of the famous salt farms in the Da Qian Dynasty were in the south.

But Ziliujing in Sichuan is an exception.

It's the biggest saltern besides the seaside!

When people go down a well from some places, brine will gush out of the well. There is a lot of burning gas in the ground of Shu. After absorbing brine from the ground, a pot is set up to ignite the gas near the salt well, dry the brine, filter the brine, and finally fry the salt.

The salt thus produced is called "well salt".

Sichuan's well salt market is very famous in the north and south. Therefore, in Ziliujing, there are hundreds of salt farms, large and small, which are used to make private salt, and the imperial court can't manage them.

Ren Weizhi's ancestors had been running that salt farm for three generations, and it was the fourth generation when it came to him.

But how can a well withstand hundreds of years of exploitation?

The salt wells in Shu area are all "big shallow wells". A well can only be drilled so deep. At most, it can only be dug a little bigger to get more brine. But with the absorption of brine, the height of brine will gradually decrease, and finally drop to below the depth of the salt well, and then no matter what, no more brine can be extracted.

Salt wells will become "abandoned wells".

Salt farms will decline.

Ren Weizhi took over such a salt farm that was about to decline. The long-term workers walked and scattered, and the huge family business collapsed.

It's hard to accept such pressure when people are in a desperate situation.

So for the next two years, he squandered gold and silver, drank wine, and weeped all day long on the empty salt field with nothing but abandoned wells.

But suddenly one day, he fell down on the wine jar.

I pressed it before I noticed.

The ground was hard soil. He pressed it down with one hand, and the fragments of the wine jar slowly penetrated into the soil.

Then such a moment, call him in all kinds of difficulties and full of darkness, light suddenly!

All of a sudden, Ren Weizhi stopped drinking and even couldn't get out of the door. He closed his house all day and bought all kinds of construction books. He spent three months studying and drawing several complicated drawings.

But at this time, he has no money.

There were few people around willing to lend him money.

Ren Weizhi had no choice but to go to Beijing in person to ask a friend of his father's to help him. Unexpectedly, when his father's friend heard that he was coming, he was very hospitable and willing to lend him some small money. However, if he wanted to borrow tens of thousands of taels, he would give up everything.

Ren Weizhi spent two months in Beijing, but he was disappointed.

He was worried about his salt farm, so he had to release the news to other salt merchants in Beijing that he had developed new tools to exploit "abandoned wells". He hoped that he could take the dividends of the salt farm in the future as a reward, raise a sum of money, and hurry home to implement his plan.

This new tool is the world-famous "zhuotang well".

In the last life, Jiang Xuening heard this story in the palace. It was when Shen fan summoned the ministers of Shu, Ren Weizhi had been hanged in the saltern of his home for three years.

He did raise a sum of money from the capital to go back.

After going back to Sichuan for a long time, he also made this "zhuotung well". But he was not lucky. On the first night of trying zhuotung well, he found the deep burning gas in the salt well. At that time, there was a lantern fire outside, and the burning gas rose, and immediately burned with the fire.The whole salt field was destroyed.

The first zhuotong well made of Nanzhu also collapsed in the fire.

What's more, several long-term workers were injured in the fire.

Almost immediately the merchants who had lent him money forced him to pay back.

Ren Weizhi is at the end of his tether.

When the salt field was destroyed and the zhuotong well was gone, he not only had to pay for the burn, but also paid for the principal invested by the merchants according to the original contract. When he was desperate, he sold his ancestral home. On the day of clearing all the debts, a hemp rope hung himself on the zhuotong well, the wreckage of the salt field, ending his rough life and leaving The world.

Three months after his death, the drawings left in the box were found;

four months after his death, the second zhuotang well was built, which successfully drilled a deep well of more than 20 feet underground, and pumped out the brine that had never been encountered before and hidden in the depth of 20 feet of "abandoned well";

one year after his death, zhuotang well has become a "small mouth" of Ziliujing salt field Three years after his death, wherever there is a salt field in Ziliujing, his portrait will be presented!

In other words, the zhuotang well invented by Ren Weizhi can be used to exploit the bittern deep in the stratum, but he was not lucky enough to survive the most difficult period.

Jiang Xuening still remembers that when you Fangyin talked with her about her self-made experience, she also lamented that she had missed this great opportunity because she didn't know Ren Weizhi was raising money in Beijing.

She also talked about "drilling technology" and "natural gas".

Jiang Xuening couldn't understand these strange things.

But she knew the whole story, and how many twists and turns would affect people's hearts.

"It's not so easy to accomplish a thing. You can't say that you'll experience a lot of hopelessness in the middle. But you'll have to bite your teeth and hold on until you know that there's another village in the dark." Jiang Xuening stares at you Fangyin and tells her a meaningful story, "since Ren Weizhi dares to borrow so much money and says that he can exploit" abandoned wells ", it is certain that this" zhuotong well "will work. If he had enough money, he would seize the opportunity, buy the "abandoned wells" that other salt factories don't want, and then use the "zhuotang well" to make brine and salt, and God knows what a great career he would make. "

You Fangyin was a little confused when he heard about how to collect brine to make salt.

But this does not prevent her from understanding the key of Jiang Xuening's words.

That is -

Ren Weizhi is a man of ability. If you invest money to him, even if you may lose a lot in the middle, you can open up a new sky as long as you bite your teeth!

Jiang Xuening knew that she understood at least the most important part. She turned her eyes and thought of you Yuelai. She reminded you with a worried look: "you know, this time I got the news is not easy, you must not go around. This time it's not the same as last time. Last time I sold silk, but this time I have to go through a difficult process. If something happens in the middle, I'm not sure I have to put all the money into it. This is a long-term business, and the middle of the torture, not ordinary people can bear. If someone who can't hold his breath knows that he has invested money on impulse, and finally he can't even get back the money, isn't it harmful to others? "

You Fangyin's clenched fist didn't loosen. When he heard Jiang Xuening's words, a crazy idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

But she didn't say it.

At the moment, he seemed to be thinking about something. He nodded slowly and said, "Fangyin, remember."

Jiang Xuening then said: "I've given you directions. Today you've been out long enough. There's such a powerful elder sister at home. I dare not keep you any more. I'll take you out."

You Fangyin got up to salute.

Jiang Xuening got up and stepped on the embroidered shoes, sent her to the door, and then put a medicine bottle in her hand: "this is the medicine for you. Apply it well, and it will soon be OK."

You Fangyin almost shed tears: "you treat me very well."

Jiang Xuening laughed at her as a fool, but stroked her head and said, "if you know that I treat you well, you will be better to yourself. By the way, last time you made so much money, don't let your second sister know. Otherwise, I don't know how to ask about your "way to make money.". She bullied me. After all, she was in the palace. Anyway, I would bear it. But you're in the house. I'm afraid you have something under her hand. I know that you want to defend me in your heart, but don't let me have any conflict with her... "

Tang'er and lian'er are standing outside. They are familiar with this: isn't this what you Fangyin said just now? The second girl moved here almost intact!

But you Fangyin didn't realize it. Hearing her words, she trembled, her eyes turned red, but her head was deeper. She only said, "yes."

Jiang Xuening this just a pair of put down the appearance of heart, call a person to send her out of the house.

You Fangyin comes out of the side door, and the carriage is still waiting outside.

The coachman was already dozing off. Seeing her coming out, he was shocked and asked, "Miss, where are you going now?"You Fangyin, holding the small medicine bottle in her hand, stood on the steps and looked at it for a long time.

There was no expression on one face.

She felt a surge of anger at the bottom of her heart. She only clenched the medicine bottle again and said, "go to Qingyuan Bofu."

*

you Fangyin just left, and Jiang Xuening's weakness that I felt pity for before suddenly broke up.

She snorted and clapped her hands with ease.

Before and after the face change so fast that tang'er lian'er is stunned!

It is not easy for a weak person to correct himself.

But there is no way.

Jiang Xuening had the ability to coax men around in her last life, but now she just uses the means to coax men to coax women. Anyway, the effect is so immediate.

Although she wants to teach you Fangyin to do business and make more money, she is in a bad situation in Bofu and can't do these things with ease.

The first thing to do is to settle down inside.

If we don't solve the problem of Houzhai, we are not at ease in business.

You Yue is narrow-minded and vicious. Let's see if you Fangyin will surprise her again.

Lian'er didn't understand everything that had just happened. She felt dizzy: "girl, she, you, just now..."

When Jiang Xuening wanted to go, he explained, "we should not be ready."

Lianer couldn't ask any more questions.

This end sent people to see the carriage.

At the other end, the servants of the mansion came with a basket of fresh pears in a hurry. They were full of joy and said, "two girls! This is something sent by Lord Zhou of the royal guards in Xiejie Hutong. It's said that it's Dangshan pear that just came from Anhui Kuaima. It's just been appreciated. It's specially sent to you for a taste. "

There are twelve or thirteen pears in the basket.

They all look soft yellow, full and fresh.

Jiang Xuening saw it and heard the report, but her face changed slightly.

There's something on it.

It should be that Zhou Yinzhi has got the shortage of thousands of households.

If so

I'm afraid Yan Lin may not come this evening.

Tang'er saw that she didn't respond for a long time and asked carefully: "girl?"

Jiang Xuening this just returned to God, way: "a basket of pears just, put down is."

With that, she lowered her eyes, went back to the room and sat quietly.

After a while, lian'er came back and said, "the car is ready. But miss two, you don't look very comfortable. Are you going to the Xiaolou today? "

Jiang Xuening blinked and said, "go."

What if?

You Fangyin (angry): did my second sister bully you?

Jiang Xuening (aggrieved): we were talking about Zhang Zhe, but I don't know that I was angry. She, she, she even pushed me and me into QAQ

You Yue: Excuse me?????

PS: zhuotangjing is interested in Baidu. The tools are real, the stories are fictional. In ancient times, making well salt was to use the natural gas in the well to boil salt. Ren Weizhi (unknown) simply invented zhuotong well, but he had bad luck when drilling. He got the natural gas (Sichuan has a high underground natural gas reserve) and accidentally blew it up.
