Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Zhao Zhen and Zhao Sheng are friends in need. Whether they are sisters or husband and wife, they are actually just like a thin layer of window paper. Zhao Sheng has long regarded Zhao Zhen as a family member and will never abandon her in this life.

Li Shuya knew that Zhao Sheng was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and she couldn't bear to hurt their feelings in this matter. She just whispered that if they were interested, they could be on an equal footing with Zhao Zhen.

This sentence means what we know as a co-wife. After hearing Li Shuya's words, Zhao Sheng's feelings for her deepened a step further!

Luancheng currently has three main products, namely soybean oil, protein meat and compressed biscuits, while the production of salt, gypsum and alcohol is carried out in the courtyard of Shigang Village, where Zhao Erniu, Zhao Hu and a group of young boys are currently working.

Making gypsum is extremely simple, but it is rather dirty each time it is crushed. A group of young boys work for half a day and have one day off. This is a strict rule set by Mr. Zhao.

And while crushing the plaster, they also made them practice hard qigong and iron sand palm! In the end, they didn't even know what they were practicing every day, let alone that these things could be turned into money.

As mentioned earlier, there is a lot of rock salt in Shigang Village, but the local people are unaware of it. Mr. Zhao asked them to sort it out. Some of the useless stones are actually materials for making cement, and they just need to be mixed with clay.

On the contrary, those stones that could not be made into cement were considered useless and would destroy crops, so Zhao Sheng collected them all and slowly refined them into edible salt.

It was not until the emergence of corn in later generations that this place gradually turned into an endless green tent.

The main component of this unique surface layer where gypsum and rock salt coexist is Na2SO4·10H2O. During the extraction process, a large amount of sodium sulfate can be extracted from it.

It is a crystal made from the sulfate mineral Glauber's salt family through processing and refinement.

This is also a traditional Chinese medicine that has the effects of purging and relieving constipation, moistening dryness and softening hard masses, clearing away heat and reducing swelling. It is commonly used to treat symptoms such as excessive heat stagnation, abdominal distension and pain, constipation, and intestinal abscesses and swelling; it is also used externally to treat breast abscesses and hemorrhoidal swelling and pain.

It can be said that Shigang Village is a barren land for those who rely on the weather and the land to grow crops, but for people like Zhao Sheng who come from the later era, having knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry can unlock the code of wealth.

After severely punishing the prefect He Hairen, Zhao Heng of Chuzhou hid at home all day and did not care about anything. The number of his imperial guards was twice that of the local government soldiers, which meant that one government soldier had to accompany two imperial guards.

The Cao Gang suppressed the Salt Gang for nearly a month, and He Hairen had no way to deal with the Cao Gang.

At this time, Fu Gang, the leader of the Binhai Salt Gang branch, issued an order to the salt gang members in the surrounding salt factories, refusing to allow merchants cooperating with the Cao Gang to ship goods.

After the supervisor of salt production learned about this, he found Fu Gang, a salt merchant who was resisting the transportation of goods.

"What do you mean? The salt fields are under the management of our Supervision Department. All those who come to haul salt have salt permits. If you don't let them deliver the salt, you can't let them come and deliver the salt themselves!"

The Binhai Supervisor's surname was Zhou, and his given name was Li. He had dark skin, a medium build, a square face with no visible facial expression, thin lips and small eyes. If his eyes did not move occasionally, everyone would think he had no eyeballs.

Fu Gang and Zhou Li are about the same height, but Fu Gang's skin is obviously much whiter than Zhou Li's. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tuft of messy beard on his chin.

Seeing that the visitor was just a supervisor, Fu Gang did not take him seriously. The supervisor was equivalent to the security captain of this salt field. He was okay in managing others, but no one paid any attention to him when it came to the salt gang.

More and more merchants came here, and most of them hired people from the Cao Gang to do their work. Of course, some people had their own caravans and naturally hired people from the Salt Gang to help.

When the people who arrived first saw that things were becoming complicated, they immediately stopped and blocked the entrance and exit, making it impossible for vehicles of those who came later to enter. Although the people from the Salt Gang were powerful, they would not beat people at will.

At this time, people from other parts of the Salt Gang rushed over. Fu Gang was now excited. He climbed onto the carriage and shouted loudly: "The area around Binhai is all our Salt Gang's territory. If you want salt, you should ask us if we can give it to you."

What this means is that those who deal with the Cao Gang should forget about transporting salt here.

Soon this news reached Chuzhou. The prefect He Hairen knew that the Salt Gang intended to suppress the Water Transport Gang, but he did not want to offend either of these two gangs. They were the arteries of the Great Zhou's transportation line, and anyone who did not move would suffer.

Zhao Heng also knew about this, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he ordered someone to secretly convey a message to the Cao Gang, asking their people to sneak into Binzhou, and then someone would naturally make trouble.

He Hairen called Mu Qiang, the salt administration official in charge of salt transport, and asked him to lead all the inspectors and 500 government soldiers to Binzhou, and then mobilize 500 people from Binzhou to quell the situation in the salt field.

To put it simply, salt transportation is an organization similar to road administration and river management, but it is limited to inspecting the transportation of salt out of customs, that is, preventing smuggling.

What does the unrest at the salt works have to do with him? Besides, this is a salt field, something that even the supervisor can't handle. What can he, a person in charge of salt transportation, do if he goes there?

In any era, a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. So Mu Qiang took his men and five hundred government soldiers to Binzhou.

There are only 500 people in the Binzhou government office. How could they possibly lend them all to Mu Qiang? In the end, they agreed to lend them to 300 people.

this day.

The salt field was still blocked by a large number of people, including members of the Salt Gang and merchants who needed to transport goods. Members of the Water Transport Gang took this opportunity to block the entrances and exits. Anyway, this incident was caused by the Salt Gang.

The Salt Works Supervisor only has about a hundred people under his command, and they are all here now! If there is anything they need, they can just give them a call and the salt gang will help them.

Today is a matter between the Salt Gang and the Water Transport Gang, and it is not appropriate for them to take sides in the salt production.

Just at this time, Mu Qiang came in with his men. Zhou Liyi saw that the man was Mu Qiang. This man actually had the support of the Cui family of Boling. He had not achieved much in these years, but he got rich by relying on two lines.

Fu Gang had been in Binzhou all the time and was not familiar with the officials in Chuzhou, so of course he did not dare to act rashly. After Zhou Li called him over and gave him some instructions, everyone instantly understood what to do next.

It turned out that after Mu Qiang arrived, Zhou Li reported the situation. The general meaning was that the Salt Gang would still need to be protected here in the future, and it would be best if they did not offend both sides, but today they had to give the Salt Gang face and let the Cao Gang leave.

Fu Gang had someone backing him up at the moment. He walked to the gate of the salt field and shouted, "Today, no matter who it is, those who have my salt gang license plate will load the goods first. Those without a license plate will go behind."

As a result, no one left after he finished speaking. At this time, Fu Gang discovered that there seemed to be a lot more people at the door, and these people did not look like the merchants who had just transported the goods.

Mu Qiang discovered in the shed that all the people he brought with him had evacuated outside, and only the supervisor and the people he supervised were left on the scene. The atmosphere at this time was obviously a little wrong.

"What's going on? Why have all these government soldiers and the people I brought with me left?" Mu Qiang called over a supervising soldier and asked, "I just heard that the prefect sent them out to maintain order in the queue!"

"Queue? How do we queue? Didn't we agree on…"

Before he could finish his words, the people outside the door started to walk inside and load goods onto the incoming vehicles, as if they didn't take the Salt Gang members seriously.

Looking around, there were thousands of people outside, several times the number of people from the Salt Gang present.
