Drying salt is not that easy, and not all sea areas are suitable.

Some coastal areas cannot be used as salt fields due to terrain issues.

This is only possible if the terrain is relatively gentle and the impact of seawater tides is not too great.

And even so, a long river needs to be dug to introduce seawater before it can be dried on the salt pan.

The preliminary preparation work can be said to be very complicated, so Su Ruchun lived here during this period.

Moreover, the place we live in is very simple. After all, it is a temporary building. It is definitely not as comfortable as the mansion.

But even so, Su Ruchun had no intention of backing down.

Since you want to do something, then do it boldly and don't let yourself regret it.

She has been planning this for a long time. It is a huge project that requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but she is confident that it can be completed.

Not only that, she also took the initiative to come up with the money needed.

Su Ruchun has indeed made a lot of money through business these years. Now she not only grows food, but also has many industries, so she is not short of money.

But investing money here is actually risky, and no one knows what the return will be.

But Su Ruchun knew that she had to find a way out, whether selling salt or sugar, it would be a good thing for the people.

At first, everyone didn't quite understand what Su Ruchun was going to do, but because the purchase price was very suitable, many people sold their farmland.

But they never expected that after selling the farmland, Su Ruchun would cut down all the crops.

When the prefect learned about this, he ran over there himself, and then sat down on the farmland without saying anything to get out of the way.

Su Ruchun looked at the prefect and found it quite interesting. If nothing else, he was a good official who loved the people.

"What are you going to do? I have already bought this piece of land."

After hearing what Su Ruchun said, the prefect also knew that it was unreasonable for him to do so, but he had to do it even if it was unreasonable.

The farmland is the lifeblood of the people. Once bought, it should be managed well. How can it be destroyed casually?

"Princess! You really shouldn't do this. This is all food. You don't know that destroying dozens of acres of land will mean how many people will go hungry in the coming year."

Su Ruchun looked at his very calm answer: "I understand this matter, but we have to see whether it is a small immediate benefit or a long-term benefit."

The prefect was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the third prince's concubine was so powerful and had such smart teeth.

"I would also like to ask the third prince to answer my questions. What is long-term benefit? What is immediate small gain?"

Su Ruchun smiled, pointed at the field in front of her and said, "I destroyed hundreds of acres of fields today, which seems wrong. After all, this is all food!

However, if I open up salt fields today, I can ensure that people have low-priced salt tomorrow, do you think that’s okay?”

Although Su Ruchun said so, the prefect did not believe it.

How is this possible? Isn’t this just wishful thinking? How can the price of salt change in a short period of time?

At this time, it was expensive for the people to eat food, but it was even more expensive to eat salt, because all the salt was in the hands of a few people.

But who can avoid eating salt? Who can’t stand it even if they don’t eat salt.

Therefore, for ordinary people, salt is even more important than food.

Therefore, he found it incredible that Su Ruchun made such a promise to him, and it was impossible to fulfill it.

But there seemed to be a voice in my heart saying that this was entirely possible, because the person in front of me was no ordinary person, she was the third prince's concubine.

I have also heard of this person’s reputation. It seems that she is the disciple of the Imperial Master!

The Imperial Preceptor is also very magical in his heart. Did she learn her skills from the Imperial Preceptor?

If this is the case, then it is entirely possible to do it, then wouldn't their place become a prosperous place?

The prefect does not care about his official prestige and reputation, what matters most is that he can make the people live a good life.

He has no ambitions, nor does he dare to expect to change the world with his own power.

He would be satisfied if he could keep the people of his city well fed and drunk.

"Do you really mean what the princess said?"

"Since I dare to say it, I naturally mean it."

"Okay, I believe what you said, and today I ask the princess to destroy these hundreds of acres of farmland and build a salt field! In the future, I also ask you to let the people eat and drink well, and don't let down their expectations of you."

Su Ruchun looked at the other party, "You are really good at talking. You are wearing these high hats one after another. You can't refuse even if you want to. If you can't do it, it will be too embarrassing."

Su Ruchun nodded, and even if he agreed, everyone moved out of the way.

There is really no other way, Su Ruchun's promise is too attractive to them.

Everyone even helped, although they still felt bad and were reluctant to give up, but as long as everyone could live a good life, it was worth it.

Soon the salt pan was built and divided into three areas.

Drying, precipitating, and fine processing.

Of course, what you get after these three steps is sea salt. Although sea salt is edible, it is not good for your health over a long period of time.

To this end, Su Ruchun needs to build another factory, and this factory must be large and fully equipped, because sea salt must be processed into fine salt.

Of course, this process is very complicated and cannot be known to outsiders.

Although she wants people to live a good life, she also wants to make money.

Soon seawater was introduced into the salt fields, and after a few days, the first batch of sea salt appeared.

At this time, Su Ruchun asked the people to come and watch. Because it was the first time to dry sea salt, Su Ruchun asked them to watch.

But after that, only their workers can enter, and naturally no one else can enter.

"Ah! There is really salt!"

"Yeah, how could it be!"

"What are these things?"

After this experience, the people also believed that it was really possible to produce sea salt, but the steps were too complicated and they couldn't remember them.

Moreover, they discovered that Su Ruchun was not allowed to eat this sea salt.

She also asked people to drag Haiyan into the workshop.

Everyone speculated whether there was something magical put in it, because the sea salt was originally very rough, but when it came out again, it became finer.

Not only has it become delicate, but the texture is particularly good, and they can all taste it, which is really great.

They couldn't imagine how expensive such fine salt was, but what was surprising was that a pound of such salt only cost ten cents!

That’s right, a pound is only ten cents!

This is cheaper than food. How is it possible?

The prefect also saluted Su Ruchun on the spot in front of everyone.

If I was still unwilling to work under Gu Junli before, now I have no such idea at all. I have no choice, the princess is really too powerful.

Su Ruchun smiled and said nothing. This was only the first step. How to sell these things was the most difficult step.
