Chapter 258: Discovering a salt mine. Salt is very precious and is a luxury.
As it got dark, Feng Hanyue and his group, led by the escorts, found a place near the lake to camp and rest.
The happiest people at that time were the children. Each of them held a small paper tube with French fries, popcorn chicken, grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken legs, and fried chicken nuggets in it to fill their stomachs.
Along the way, Feng Hanyue used spiritual spring water to nourish their bodies. The physical fitness of these little guys was much better than that of their peers, and they were even stronger than ordinary children.
A strong physique and great strength naturally require more energy.
So in the carriage, Feng Hanyue gave them special meals almost every day, and they never lacked food.
Looking at the children who were eating happily, Feng Hanyue smiled and said,
"Yuchen, Zimo, Qingxuan, Yubao, Jinjin, the rest of you stay in the tent. Uncles Xiangdong and Xiangxi, as well as Uncle Shadow, are guarding you at the door. I'm going out to help, so you'll just have to wait for me to come back, okay?"
"Mother, what are you going to do? Can't Aunt Zhao and the others do it?"
Xiao Qingxuan doesn't want to be separated from his mother.
"Qingxuan, everyone is very tired from traveling today. If mother goes to help, will Aunt Zhao and Aunt Chunxiang and Dongmei be able to relax a little?"
Xiao Qingxuan tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded seriously.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go help after I finish eating."
He touched Xiao Qingxuan's bulging face and said with a smile,
"Qingxuan, everyone outside is very busy and can't spare much energy to take care of you. You all stay in the tent and wait until you finish eating, okay? Mommy will make you a delicious dinner, okay?"
The tone of persuasion was full of care. Jun Zimo pulled his younger brother aside and nodded.
"Well, mother, go and do your work. We will wait for you to come back."
"Aunt, we are all very good. I will look after my brother, don't worry."
"Roar!" We are the best!
Yubao also went over and hugged Feng Hanyue, telling her to rest assured.
After communicating with the little guys, Feng Hanyue walked out of the tent, told Xiangdong and Xiangxi to keep a close eye on the naughty kids, and then walked towards Jun Linghan.
After explaining the purpose of their visit, Feng Hanyue prepared to go with Feng Hanbai to check whether it was as she imagined.
I heard there might be a salt mine, how could Jun Linghan sit still?
You should know that now all materials such as iron and salt belong to the imperial court.
Anyone who dares to sell salt privately or even mine salt will be punished with death or even extermination of the entire family.
Everyone knows the importance of these supplies!
"I'll go too!"
"Just wait for me outside."
After saying this, Jun Linghan looked at her with burning eyes.
Seeing that Jun Linghan insisted on following, and having no intention of hiding it from him, he nodded.
After hearing what Feng Hanyue said, Feng Hansong said that he would go to investigate together. Thinking of his brother in his previous life who was knowledgeable and talented, and an all-round talent, Feng Hanyue nodded immediately.
In this way, a team of four was formed and walked towards the stone wall that Feng Hanyue saw.
At this moment, the sky had completely darkened. Feng Hanyue lit a lantern, which was held by Feng Hanbai in front. After the last storage bag incident, everyone could quickly accept anything Feng Hanyue took out.
Under the light, there was some grayish-white substance not far away. Feng Hanyue's heart moved and he walked over quickly.
I pinched a little bit of the grayish-white substance with my hands and put it in my mouth, and my eyes immediately lit up!
“Big brother, second brother, Yanzhi, you are really salt!”
"Really?"
Feng Hanbai directly cut off a small piece and put it into his mouth.
"Pah! So salty!"
"Brother, it's really salt! Oh my god, so much salt is exposed like this, you really don't know the value of it!"
When saying this, Feng Hanbai classified himself as the same type as Feng Hanyue without hesitation, the type of person who could easily identify rock salt.
Feng Hansong and Jun Linghan also took a bite, it was really salty and bitter!
Seeing the two of them frowning, Feng Hanyue couldn't help but look at Jun Linghan curiously.
"Yanzhi, there is a salt mine here, how come no one has discovered it? It's so obvious."
Jun Linghan: ...
Although Jun Linghan frowned, his eyes were still full of stars when he looked at Feng Hanyue.
"Uh...is it possible? I mean, is it possible that no one knows each other?"
Feng Hanyue asked, "So, are the salts in Dayu now all sea salt and lake salt?"
Jun Linghan, "Lake salt?"
"Yue'er, the salt in Dayu is now transported from coastal areas to the entire Dayu Dynasty. It's basically all in the Jiaodong Peninsula and the South China Sea... Salt is very precious and important, and it's a real luxury."
