Early the next morning, Master Xuanru and two young monks hurried to Yegao Village under the escort of several cloaks to reunite with his mother. He will live there for a while, and then visit all the territory of the Luo family according to Zhengliang's arrangements to treat the people's illness. After the temple in Yegao Village is built, he will return there to settle down. The newly built temple will be named "Zhongkao Temple".

After bidding farewell to Xuan Ru, Zhengliang began to be busy with another thing again.

"Your Highness, you have selected the address according to your requirements. What do you think here?" Masaru was summoned from No Takayama to build the Luo family and said, pointing to a beach by the sea. He was ordered to build the lord's mansion on No Takayama. Two days ago, he suddenly received a transfer order from the lord to report to Kurayama Castle immediately. So he immediately brought a few craftsmen requested by Masaru to rush to Kurayama Castle. As for the renovation of the lord's mansion, he was temporarily handed over to Tomobee to take charge.

"Are you sure you chose it exactly according to my requirements?" Zhengliang asked carefully, looking at the beach beneath his feet.

"Yes, Your Highness. In order to meet your requirements, I have been watching for two consecutive days with several people. Every time the tide rises, the sea water can overtake my calves; the sunlight here is very strong during the day, and even the subordinates cannot hold on to such sunlight for half an hour; at night, the sea breeze here is very strong, and the wet clothes are hung on the shore for half an hour, and all the clothes can be dried; more importantly, the location here is secret enough, as long as some fences are erected, people outside will not be able to see the situation inside," said the honest man Masuke, patted his heart. It seems that in order to do the tasks assigned by Masayoshi, he has personally experienced it in the past two days.

"Okay, then start immediately according to the original confirmed requirements," Zhengliang nodded and said.

Zhengliang planned to build a piece of the Luo family's own salt drying field here. Sea salt is very important to the daily life of the people in the territory and is also an indispensable material for marching and fighting. At present, the territory's sea salt reserves are obtained through war collection. Due to the lack of production capacity, the territory will soon fall into the dilemma of lack of salt.

Why doesn’t Zhengliang use the method of boiling salt or frying salt? The main reason is that using the above two methods requires a large number of utensils. These utensils are generally iron pots. The problem is that iron tools are good things, so it’s better to forge weapons. Moreover, these two methods are really too long. In the end, Zhengliang decided to use the method of salt drying in sea water. Although the typhoon season is about to enter, it is also very good to be able to expose a little salt.

In my memory, this method of salt water is called the salt field method. Using this method, salt field is generally divided into two parts: an evaporation pond and a crystallization pond. The seawater is introduced into the evaporation pond. When the water evaporated to a certain level after sun exposure, it is poured into the crystallization pond. If the sun continues, the seawater will become a saturated solution of salt, and the salt will gradually precipitate. This is the crystal obtained, which is the common coarse salt.

Now Zhengliang really couldn't think of how to build an evaporation pool and a crystallization pool, so he simply built a salt pool. He first asked someone to level the selected beach to create a piece of nearly twenty acres of flat land according to height. Then he used mud made of cement and mud that the territory was already producing, and finally used a few logs to flatten the bottom of the pool. This created a simple salt field.

After the cement at the bottom of the pond was completely dried and formed, Zhengliang built several small ridges in the salt field, divided the salt field into three pieces according to the height of the terrain, and several outlets were opened in all the ridges. All these tasks were completed within two days. During this period, Zhengliang temporarily built a small earth embankment on the shore near the sea, mainly to prevent seawater from pouring into the unformed salt field when the tide rises.

After the salt farm was officially completed, Zhengliang asked someone to remove the small earth embankment and replace it with a slightly shorter small inclined embankment made of pebbles. When the tide rises, sea water can easily flow through the small inclined embankment and flow into the first salt field near the land side, thus intercepting the sea water.

After the seawater evaporates in the first salt field for a day and a night, people open several gaps on the ridges of the salt field in the salt field and put these a little thick seawater into the second salt field with a lower terrain; after the seawater in the second salt field evaporates for another day, the seawater in the third salt field is placed in the third salt field in the evening. This is repeated for several days until crystals precipitate in the seawater in the third salt field.

On July 3, 2018, after telling Masaru the detailed operation method of Yantian, Masaru hurried back to Kurayama Castle. The selection of territory was completed. Tsuda Hirozo and Roche Sasuke were preparing to report to Masaru in the city.

"What is this? It's so comfortable to sit up! Is Your Highness a Bodhisattva who came down to earth and caused so many good things? No, I also want to ask Your Highness for one, so that I can't just lie down all day after I go back, so I feel so uncomfortable." Masarara just walked into the yard and before he could enter the meeting hall, he heard Tsuda Hirosum's voice from afar.

"Sir Tsuda, please pay attention to your appearance. This is the residence of the head of the family and do not be rude." This is the voice of Sasuke Roche.

"Sasuke, this is your wrong thing. Look at the difference between your sitting posture and me now? Besides, why are you the same as Lord Heiji, so annoyed. Before Your Highness arrives, we should sit down well," Tsuda Hirosen immediately retorted.

"No, the status of our family is different from the past. Your demeanor will damage the majesty of the head of the family. Please respect yourselves, Lord Tsuda," said Luo Sasuke unyieldingly.

"Hey! I finally calmed down for a few days, and I will suffer again today. It's so pitiful," Tsuda Hirosomus said in extreme desolation.

The little surname Yoshinomaru, who was waiting outside the hall, was covering his mouth and laughing secretly. When he saw Masarara coming back, he immediately bowed his knees and shouted loudly, "Your Highness is here."

As soon as the words were finished, a sound of moving tools immediately sounded inside.

After handing the words of Jigang to Yoshinomaru, Masara quickly walked into the meeting hall.
