The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien

Shen Mingzhu brought her cousin Su Liuer and several cousins ​​to Hongchiba. When Su Liuer and the others saw so many cattle and sheep on Hongchiba, they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.

Shen Mingzhu gave each of them a pony and taught them how to ride. The cousins ​​quickly learned how to ride.

Several people rode their horses towards the top of the mountain. Shen Mingzhu suddenly saw a white deer. Feeling very curious, he rode his Red Hare quickly towards the white deer.

Shen Mingyu and Su Liuer were afraid that Shen Mingzhu might be in danger, so they rode their horses and quickly followed.

Shen Mingzhu saw that the white deer was beautiful and wanted to catch it and raise it on her farm.

There is a saying here that white deer is auspicious and auspicious, and meeting a white deer will bring good luck.

Since the white deer is a good omen, wouldn’t it be better to catch it?

Shen Mingzhu chased the white deer down the mountain, and suddenly saw the white deer running into a cave.

She rode her horse and followed the white deer into the cave. The cave was not big, but there was water flowing.

The system suddenly said, "That's not right! There was no water in this cave before, why is there water now?"

Shen Mingzhu asked: "How did you know?"

System: "This mountain is so close to Hongchiba, and at the foot of your grandfather's house. I have already scanned what is in the mountain."

Shen Mingzhu: "Maybe it suddenly came out of the water? No matter what, let's go in and look for Bailu."

Shen Mingzhu took out a flashlight from the system space and followed the cave entrance.

Suddenly, a salty smell hit me in the air.

Shen Mingzhu asked doubtfully:

"Why is there a salty smell in this cave?"

System: "Water, host, there is salt in this spring water. This is a salt spring."

Shen Mingzhu was stunned: "What? Salt spring? Let me try it."

She squatted down, scooped up a handful of spring water, licked it with her tongue, and it was so salty that she immediately stuck out her tongue.

Shen Mingzhu gulped down two sips of mineral water, then said in surprise:

"This is really a salt spring. The salt content in this spring water is very high. It's really great!"

Shen Mingzhu's eyes were full of stars. In this backward ancient time, salt was extremely precious to the common people.

Especially in their county, many people cannot afford even the bitter coarse salt. Ordinary farmers are only willing to add a little powder when cooking.

Because they can't afford salt, many people suffer from goiter.

If we can boil the salt water in this salt spring into salt, then people will be able to eat salt, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhu no longer cared about Bai Lu, and quickly rode back to Hongchiba to reunite with everyone.

As soon as Shen Mingzhu returned home, she told her father and grandfather about the discovery of the salt spring.

When Mr. Shen was shocked, Mr. Shen said seriously:

"Zhuzhu must report the discovery of salt to the government. The Daqian law explicitly prohibits the private production and sale of private salt."

Shen Mingzhu nodded and said, "If we report this news to the government and propose to the county magistrate to build a salt factory there, we can then let the government build a road there."

"Then, we build roads and docks at Hongchiba and our Shenjia Village factory, how about that?"

Shen Lao San was overjoyed, "As expected of my daughter, Zhuzhu, you are so thoughtful."

"If this is the case, it will not only boost the development of Shenjia Village, but also your grandfather's village and the surrounding villages will be able to develop well."

Shen Mingzhu chuckled: "Hehe, if you want to get rich, you have to build roads first. We use the power of the government to seek benefits for everyone."

Old Man Shen finally came to his senses from his shock and asked Shen Mingzhu:

"Zhuzhu, didn't you say salt spring? Why are you talking about ports and road construction?"

Shen Mingzhu looked up at the sky in silence, while Shen Mingshu got up and left.

If his sister needs him, he can go ahead and do it. As for planning for the future, he only needs his father and sister.

After Shen Laosan and Shen Mingzhu discussed it, they went to the county government office that day.

County Magistrate Zhang warmly welcomed Shen Laosan into the living room of the county government office.

When County Magistrate Zhang heard Shen Lao San say that his daughter Shen Mingzhu had actually discovered a large salt spring, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Magistrate Zhang’s first reaction was, is this true?

Yanquan! This is a national event, not even he, the county magistrate, or the prefect above him, can handle it without authorization.

If there really were salt springs here, then Wuxi County would be able to escape from being a poor county and become a wealthy county in the country.

When he thought of this, County Magistrate Zhang became extremely excited, and his eyes lit up as he stared at Shen Lao San.

Shen Laosan understood the excitement in County Magistrate Zhang's heart.

If the Yanquan project was accomplished, County Magistrate Zhang would be promoted at least two levels, which would be a considerable political achievement.

Under County Magistrate Zhang's excited gaze, Shen Laosan told the story of Shen Mingzhu encountering the white deer and the white deer leading the spring.

He also talked about Shen Mingzhu's planning opinions, which shocked County Magistrate Zhang beyond compare.

County Magistrate Zhang felt that he was extremely lucky. His good fortune had begun to improve since he met Shen Ruhai's family.

Magistrate Zhang sincerely exclaimed, "White deer? Brother Shen, white deer are auspicious signs. Your daughter is blessed by heaven and is the embodiment of good fortune!"

Shen Lao San said quickly: "My daughter is just lucky. This is also the result of your diligence and love for the people. It is the emperor's great grace. This is a gift from heaven!"

County Magistrate Zhang's words were too big, and he was afraid of causing trouble for Zhuzhu.

County Magistrate Zhang then realized that he was too happy, but in his heart he had already decided that Shen Mingzhu was his lucky star.

So, Magistrate Zhang used special channels to send the news to the Zhang family in the capital.

In the Zhang family's study in the capital, Shangshu Zhang was grinding ink when he heard a servant knocking on the door.

"Come in"

"Sir, this is an urgent report from Wuxi County."

Minister Zhang raised his eyebrows, took the bamboo tube and said:

"I wonder what good news Guanghua has brought us."

"The waterwheel he mentioned last time caused a debate in the court. I wonder what new things he has to say this time?"

Minister Zhang laughed as he spoke. When he opened the bamboo tube and pulled out the letter, he saw the contents of the letter and slapped the table in surprise and joy, laughing:

"Good, good! You are worthy of being my son, Zhang Zongwen. You are sending money to the court."

"Someone, come! Prepare the clothes and the sedan chair. I want to go to the palace to see His Majesty."

In the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace, the emperor read the contents of the letter and his hands were shaking with excitement.

He asked Zhang Shangshu: "Zongwen, is what your son said true?"

Minister Zhang quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen and I dare not report such an important matter carelessly."

The emperor was delighted, "That's good, that's good."

Then, the emperor thought of the last incident with the waterwheel and asked Minister Zhang:

"Is this Shenjia Village the same Shenjia Village that invented the waterwheel last time?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the one who invented the waterwheel was Shen Mingshu, the son of Shen Ruhai from Shenjia Village. The one who discovered the white deer and the salt spring this time was Shen Mingzhu, the daughter of Shen Ruhai."

The emperor thought for a moment and asked, "Shen Ruhai, is that the one from Wanxian Prefecture who won the provincial examination this time? Is that Shen Ruhai?"

Minister Zhang nodded in agreement. The emperor leaned on the table with his hands and muttered to himself after a long while:

"The white deer leads the spring, auspicious signs descend from heaven, spiritual springs flow out of the mountains, and Daqian prospers."

"I didn't expect that the old national teacher's words would come true."

The emperor thought of something and asked Minister Zhang: "It seems that Mang'er has gone to live in Shenjia Village, right?"

Minister Zhang lowered his head and did not answer the emperor's question.

He could not mention that special prince on his own initiative, and even if the emperor asked, he would pretend not to know.

Minister Zhang was feeling very tormented, and he heard the emperor say slowly:

"Salt Spring is a national affair. Now I want the two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to take people to Wuxi County."

"You also go and take charge of the situation. Oh, and go and see if Shen Ruhai and his son are really as capable as your son wrote in the letter."

"And Shen Ruhai's daughter, Mingzhu, well, as brilliant as a pearl, brings hope to people, what a good name."
