****************************************************
Qin Mu set off with three hundred people in the rain, and the people in the city had not yet left, and the strange scene at the sacrificial ceremony was deeply imprinted in people's minds, and everyone was still talking about it.
Some people are laughing at Qin Mu for being crazy, but some people believe that Qin Mu can really communicate with God and hear God's words, because whether it is before or after the sacrifice, Qin Mu's demeanor is very solemn, not like a crazy person.
There is a saying among the folk that "the tiger follows the wind, the dragon follows the rain", and there are many people who talk about it, and some people say that the lightning during the sacrifice is clearly the golden dragon's giant claws appearing in the wind and rain, and it has been echoed by many people, so that various sayings are becoming more and more mysterious.
Now there is only one question left, that is, can Qin Mu really find the salt pool?
You must know that Jiangxi and Huguang have not produced salt since ancient times, and all salt is trafficked by Lianghuai, Fujian or Guangdong.
Not only were the people in the city talking, but so were the three hundred soldiers who followed Qin Mu to dig the salt pond, looking at Qin Mu's back and pointing and whispering.
"Do you think Lord Qin can really find the salt pool?"
"Who knows, I haven't heard of our Huichang salt pond anyway."
"That's it, I don't think Lord Qin is taking us to dig the salt pond, maybe this is Lord Qin's trick, deliberately saying so, and then taking us to kill a gang of thieves."
"Are you sick, carrying a hoe and shovel to suppress bandits?"
"What kind of bandits, you can figure it out, you don't see it, I heard that when Lord Qin went to the sacrifice, it was clear that the scorching sun was in the hot weather, and in the middle of the sacrifice, suddenly a strong wind came, followed by dark clouds rolling, heavy rain, thunder and lightning in the sky, and the five-clawed golden dragon hovering in the black clouds, tens of thousands of people were present at the time, all watched, everyone knelt down at that time, but no one could hear God's words, only Lord Qin heard it, if it wasn't true, how could Lord Qin suddenly take us out in the rain, I think it's definitely true. ”
"This thing is weird everywhere, and people like us will never be able to figure it out."
"It doesn't matter what he's doing so much, I only know that Lord Qin divides our fields and pays us, so we just need to follow orders."
"That's it, this matter is not fake, and we will see if we can dig out the salt pond at that time."
Qin Mu, who was riding a horse in front, could occasionally hear the words of the soldiers, and knew what they were discussing, if this kind of discussion was in the Chengping period, it was estimated that Qin Mu would be able to enter the Jinyi Guard Prison in a few days.
But now, the factory guard has the book to arrest Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in advance.
Ning Yuan, who followed Qin Mu's side, was in a more complicated mood than ordinary soldiers, just after Nanchang, Zhang Xianzhong's actions confirmed that Qin Mu had a mysterious ability to predict, and whether this time the communication with the gods was true or false, he became more and more difficult to determine.
"My lord, did you really hear the words of Heaven during the sacrifice?" Ning Yuan hesitated for a long time, this question was blocked in his heart, and he was afraid that he would suffocate to death sooner or later if he didn't ask.
"You can doubt me, but one should not doubt the heavens."
Qin Mu's tone was very flat, but it fell on Ning Yuan's ears like thunder, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, the rain gradually subsided, the sun shone through the residual clouds, and the light and shadow were intertwined, like the light of the Buddha, forming a magnificent scene.
Ning Yuan, who has never believed in Buddhism, couldn't help but recite the Buddha's horn in his heart.
The landscape scenery of Huichang is really good, the green mountains on all sides are charming, the green water sinks and the egrets fly, the light smoke surrounds the group after the rain, and the rainbow haunts the sky.
Qin Mu hung his whip sleeves and looked around, his expression was complacent, as if he was enjoying the landscape.
In fact, he is observing the terrain of the mountains, he has been to Huichang in his previous life, and has been a rock salt mine in Zhoutian Town, but because the roads are different, many place names are also different, and it is necessary to carefully observe the mountain terrain in order to accurately find the rock salt mine.
Fortunately, although the roads are different, some of the iconic mountain shapes are not much different, and the name of Zhoutian Town is the same as that of later generations, which greatly reduces the difficulty of his search for salt mines.
In my previous life, I saw a billboard on the side of the road, saying that the proven salt reserves of Zhoutian Rock Salt Mine reached 2 billion tons.
The stratigraphic structure in the mining area is relatively simple, the mineral composition of the deposit is single, and more than 90% of the rock salt layer is rock salt except for the mudstone layer.
It's just that later generations don't seem to be keen on mining rock salt, because later generations have convenient transportation, drying sea salt is simpler and cheaper, and people are too lazy to dig rock salt.
Therefore, although the reserves of Zhoutian salt mine are large, the economic value is not very high.
But that was the later generations, the road is difficult to travel, the means of transportation are backward, from Fujian to Jiangxi, the cost of transportation is several times the cost of salt.
Jiangxi Huguang does not produce salt, and once the Zhoutian rock salt mine is mined, the transportation cost alone will take advantage of it.
Not to mention 2 billion tons, with the current price of five catties and one tael of silver, mining millions of catties, Qin Mu can also make a lot of money.
Zhoutian Town is still quite far away from Huichang County, about 60 miles or so, Qin Mu and his entourage walked for a whole day, and it was dark before they arrived in Zhoutian Town, and they couldn't do it now, Qin Mu ordered to camp outside the town and rest for the night.
The next day, Qin Mu got up early in the morning, climbed a mountain bag in the west of Zhoutian Town, and looked westward, Ning Yuan and the others who followed him looked very nervous, holding their breath and concentrating, waiting for Qin Mu to "point out the country", nervous, whether Qin Mu really got God's guidance, whether he could really find out the salt mine, it was about to be seen.
Qin Mu crossed his waist with one hand and raised his other hand high, like a great man looking at thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, Ning Yuan and his people were scorching, and they all gathered on his raised right hand, almost scorching his right hand.
"Ahem, according to the instructions of the heavens, this place should be right." Qin Mu's raised right hand suddenly drew down, pointing to a small basin in the west, and sighed, "Dig!" This is it, hurry up and dig it for me. ”
This was a directive from heaven, and where did everyone dare to slack off, they rushed down the mountain bag one after another, and three hundred people rushed to the small basin with hoes and shovels.
"My lord, do you need to use a compass to check it?" When he got to the ground, Ning Yuan leaned up and asked cautiously.
"the fart! Is this official a feng shui master? Heaven's instructions are around here, everyone spread out, dig a few more, dig quickly! The first one to dig up the salt will be rewarded with five taels of silver, dig quickly. ”
Qin Mu opened his mouth for five taels of silver, but everyone's appetite was enough, what if a hoe went down, he could dig up five taels of silver? Still not excited to death?
All of a sudden, 300 people used their strength to eat, wielding hoes and shovels to dig violently, it had just rained yesterday, the surface soil was soft, digging was not laborious, much faster than a mouse burrowing.
Qin Mu is there on the surface, in fact, he is more nervous than anyone else, this time he is pretending to be crazy and crazy in front of the altar, if he can't dig up the rock salt, he will become a laughing stock, and the image he worked hard to create before will be completely shattered, and Ning Yuan and these people can't say that they will have a different mind immediately.
