Chapter 219 Salt Farm
Feng Zhiji finally has a clue about the construction here, and seeing that Cheng Hong's sugar factory has begun to produce, Feng Zhiji is also holding back his efforts to build!
Because with the right method, this tidal dam was built quite quickly! Today's first high tide, the earliest tidal dam, has been built for seven or eight days, and everyone stands on the tidal dam and watches the tide rise.
Finally, the tide rose to its peak, and although the dam was slapped wave after wave, it was like a needle in the sea, and it did not move at all!
Finally, the tide has receded! Everyone began to cheer, this is another masterpiece of human victory! Feng Zhiji cried with joy, it was finally built, as long as the embankment was built, it would be a trivial matter to dry salt!
After the tide recedes, it began to be built sequentially, sedimentation tank, filtration tank, drying tank, crystallization tank......
Although the rows are slow, they are being built little by little, Feng Zhiji feels his blood boiling when he looks at it, as for success or not? Hehe, designed by Cheng Hong, can it still be funny?
To say that this construction has also caught up with the good season, it is rare that the weather is cool, there is no rain, and this salt pond is built in a row.
When the sedimentation tank is completed, the seawater is wrapped with a bamboo pipe and clothed, and the principle of siphon is introduced into the sedimentation tank, so that some large impurities and fish and shrimp are blocked outside.
After the construction of the drying pond is completed, the initial precipitation of seawater is filtered and sent to the drying pond, and the crystallization pond has been built, so wait for the drying pond to be saturated and then introduced into the crystallization pond crystallization with a water wheel.
After all the construction was completed, it was found that the sedimentation tank had been precipitated twice, and the rest was anxiously waiting, waiting for the drying to be almost, and then pumping the water to the crystallization pond and sprinkling salt crystals.
As for what kind of pumping into the crystallization pool, it depends on experience, anyway, there are enough pools, try them one by one! Then mark the position with the burned porcelain float, if the first pool is not crystallized, just dry it for a day, try the second pool......
Finally, after repeated experiments for more than a dozen pools, Feng Zhiji finally found the best crystallization concentration, and quickly marked all the floats and threw them into the drying pool.
The salt in the crystallization pool is put together with a wooden rake, placed on the bamboo strips braided on the side, emptied of the water, and then washed with a small amount of brine to wash off the bitter taste.
After doing it step by step, Feng Zhiji found that it was so simple to dry salt in seawater! And as far as the eye can see, the salt of Baihuahua is pushed to the warehouse through the salt pan ridge one by one.
The salt in the warehouse is rising at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye, no wonder Cheng Hong said that this seawater salt can marinate the entire Lingnan!
It's true! If this salt is really sent to Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, it will be a boatload of copper coins!
Except for the first time when I wasted a little effort to repair the pool, this is really a great profit!
I heard Cheng Hong say that there are still good things in this brine, but it can't be refined for the time being, so it can only be released in vain.
Feng Zhiji looked at the mountains of snow salt, and was finally relieved! It's done! In the future, Lingnan will definitely be an indispensable part of Chang'an, not to mention anything else, this salt tax is enough for Chang'an, not to mention that this salt farm still has sixty percent of the royal shares!
Feng Zhiji looked at the mountains of salt, and immediately loaded two carts and went back to report the good news! This is really a happy event, a great happy event!
Not only that, but the laborers who worked were directly converted into the workers of the salt works, and the army became the guards who patrolled there, and the two masters found a nearby bay to start building the wharf according to Cheng Hong's instructions!
When it comes to building docks, they can be considered to be familiar with it! Didn't you see Quanzhou Bay there? The whole bay was built into a circular wharf, unloading in the north, loading in the south, and stopping ships in between!
Although there are only a few empty ships now, in the future, the shipyard will be busy, and the prosperity of this bay can be foreseen!
And Zhangpu is now the production area of snow salt, so it is necessary to build a larger port, in the words of Cheng Hong: "It is better to build it idle than to squeeze the time to build!"
And looking at the output of snow salt in Zhangpu, it is not something that can be pulled away by a few small boats! So a bigger one had to be built!
Besides, this thing is built along the coast, and it doesn't use any technology! Now there are many deep-water ports along the coast! So it's a lot easier to build!
With a little repair, it's a good port, and the inhabitants have to build a place to live nearby! If Feng Ang nodded, it would be best to build a small city around here!
It's just that most of the cities that have been built recently have gone to Quanzhou City! So it's going to take a while to build the city!
Watching the tide rise and fall, watching the sea water evaporate little by little, and then turn into snow-white salt, whether it is a salt worker or a guard, it is all delicious, salt! When was it so convenient to eat salt in Lingnan?
Now they dare to eat salt until they eat it, and they used to use sour fruits instead of salt. Now I'm not afraid, let alone eating, it's enough to sell!
And when Feng Zhiji pulled two carts of snow salt back to Feng Mansion, it really shocked everyone! And when Feng Zhiji said how much salt is produced per day, everyone was even more dumbfounded!
Feng Ang patted Feng Zhiji's shoulder: "My son has worked hard this time!" That's a good job, good, good! It seems that I am going to Quanzhou for a trip to Quanzhou! I'll have a good rest, and when I'm rested, I'll go to Quanzhou City with me tomorrow! ”
Feng Zhiji nodded heavily: "Hmm!" Then go back to sleep!
Feng Ang looked at the two carts of white flowers and salt outside the door, and smiled heartily, from now on, Lingnan and Datang are considered to be one family! I want to see how you Jiangnan Shi clan get on the book!
And I heard that Cheng Hong seems to have said that let the entire Jiangnan Shi clan grow sugarcane for themselves, right? It seems that this salt and sugar are not impossible!
The five flavors of the world, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, I have two tastes here, sour, bitter, spicy audience is too small, only salty, sweet anyone is indispensable, this salt and sugar, there is a lot to do!
Feng Ang has been guarding Lingnan for so many years, and he has been cautious, and he has always been stuck by the Jiangnan Shi clan and put on the book, until Cheng Hong came, thinking that he had added another rope to his neck!
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. But it was a savior, not only solving the salt that was difficult for him to obtain, but also giving himself a line to Chang'an!
Besides, he is also old, and it is time to think about his son, it seems that this Chang'an himself has to go through it himself!
Let's set the specific date! Look at what charter Cheng Hong has, if there is a charter, save yourself and arrange it!
Besides, you can't get something when you go to Chang'an, don't say anything else, this salt and sugar are a must! I guess I won't be able to go until winter or about years ago, and then add vegetables!
As Cheng Hong said, there are still green vegetables in the south of Lingnan in winter, so pull a boat when the time comes! Let the Chang'an one be happy!
In fact, after Feng Ang watched the explosion of the three explosive packets, all his ambitions disappeared at once! In addition, Tan Dian, who had been fighting with him for half his life, was arrested, and he was even more competitive!
Especially after seeing Feng Zhiji personally commanding the construction of the salt plant, he found that his eldest son was already able to stand alone, so he had the idea of going to Chang'an to have a look!
Ay! For the sake of my son!
