The sea breeze blows, and the waves crash against the white sand, making the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The salt pan should be divided into two parts, one is the evaporation pond, the other is the crystallization pond, generally speaking, the salt needs to go through seven sets of processes: beach building, beach rectification, tide acceptance, brine making, brine measurement, crystallization and salt harvesting." Xiao Ming carefully explained to Yao Wenyuan the method of drying salt in seawater.

At this time, the pattern of the salt drying method in the science and technology library, the picture kept appearing in Yao Wenyuan's mind, as if Xiao Ming's every sentence made him personally experience it.

And he gradually understood what an evaporation pond is, what a crystallization pool is, what a saturated solution is, and how to continue to extract coarse salt after dissolving it.

After a detailed explanation, Xiao Ming said to Yao Wenyuan: "Do you understand now? ”

Yao Wenyuan nodded, "Back to Your Highness, Xia Guan understands, this salt drying method is to build tidal flats first, then level the beach, and introduce seawater into the salt pan when the sea tide is high to make brine, and then use lotus seeds to determine the saturation of brine. If the lotus seeds rise in the brine, they are two to three percent brine, and they float flat on the surface of the brine. Ten percent of the lotus seeds float obliquely in the brine, which is seven to eight percent of the brine, and the flat float on the surface of the brine is ten percent of the brine.

When the brine reaches 10%, the sludge on the ground of the crystallization pool is cleaned, wiped and compacted, and the brine is put in. ”

After a pause, Yao Wenyuan continued: "At this time, the obtained is still coarse salt, and the table salt that can be used needs to continue to be dissolved, and it is filtered with charcoal and crystallized into fine salt. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Xiao Ming said: "Yes, this is the method, the construction camp will arrive in a few days, they will help you build the salt field, Yang Tingshi, you have to cooperate with the Salt Transportation Division to expand the number of salt workers, the number of salt workers will be expanded to two thousand, if the salt production is hard, you will pay more salaries to the salt workers, in addition, salt production is a major event of the country, you Salt Transportation Division must not neglect your duties, guard and steal, otherwise don't blame the king for being ruthless." ”

At the end, Xiao Ming's tone suddenly became very stern.

Yao Wenyuan and Yang Chengye immediately bowed down and said, "The lower officials don't dare." ”

"That's the best." Xiao Ming said lightly that the destruction of an empire often begins from within, and in ancient times, peasant uprisings often failed because the people inside were eager for pleasure.

In the past two years, the life of the fiefdom has been better, and his biggest concern is the rise of hedonism and the corruption of officials.

After talking about the salt drying method, Xiao Ming, Niu Ben and others rode horses to patrol along the coastline.

The location of the salt pan of the Salt Transportation Division already belongs to the border of Dengzhou, and further west is Laizhou, where the Salt Transportation Division has a salt farm, and this time he also asked the Salt Transportation Division to go to Laizhou Bay to establish and build three more salt farms.

In modern times, the salt works of Laizhou Bay are famous all over the country, and in ancient times, Qi has always been the most abundant salt production area, and even the salt in this area was once the source of tribute salt, the predecessor Xiao Ming did not pay attention to it, he must now grow the salt industry, after all, this is a stable source of income, and after the amount of industry comes up, he is ready to sell salt to every corner of the country.

Walking along the seashore towards Dengzhou, Xiao Ming vaguely saw a small island on the sea, which was the modern Changdao County.

The Dengzhou range of the Great Chongqing State covers a wide range, and the place where Dengzhou City was set up is today's Penglai, Changdao County is facing Penglai, in addition to Penglai, Dengzhou also includes modern Yantai, Weihai, Qixia, Haiyang, Rushan and other large areas.

And the location of the military port he set up is the famous Penglai military port of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty sailors in the Wanli period are from here to start a fierce battle with the Japanese at sea, at the same time, this is also the place where Qi Jiguang trained, after the second Opium War, Dengzhou was required to be set up as a treaty port.

Therefore, General Port chose to be here, Xiao Ming did not pat his head to make a decision, but had his own basis.

Moreover, the status of Dengju is superior, and opposite is the city of Beisha, to which Goryeo belongs, which is the modern Dae. Lian, the distance from Dengzhou to the sea in a straight line was only 200 miles, and his navy only needed one day to reach it.

Now Goryeo and the barbarians are in cahoots, and they have made peace with the Japanese and sent a large number of soldiers to disguise themselves as Japanese to attack the coast, and when they take the Ryukyus, the next thing is to pack up the sticks and teach them how to behave.

A few days of inspection allowed Xiao Ming to have a detailed understanding of Dengzhou, which will become a prosperous port city in the future, which makes him have to pay attention to it, and even after the development of steam locomotives, he will consider the construction of a railway line from Qingzhou to Dengzhou for the first time, so that a steady stream of materials can be transferred out by sea.

After returning to Dengzhou, after resting for two days, Xiao Ming prepared to return to Qingzhou.

Now that the navy is beginning to emerge and the north has temporarily stabilized, he can finally stop worrying all day long, and the rest of the things only need to be done step by step, and he can also be a teacher of the Bowen Academy with peace of mind, showing the knowledge in his science and technology library to the students of the academy.

There is no way, seriously speaking, what he is doing now is just the politics of the first army, all industries are for the service of the army, and the real civilian industry has not developed much.

And the science outside of military science has also not been expanded, such a development is deformed, compared to the current level of European civilization, his fiefdom is still an uncivilized region.

However, it is very difficult to change the way of thinking of a nation, and it is precisely because governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and it can only come tepidly, not impatiently.

"Yang Chengye, I have said everything that this king should have said these days, your responsibility as a thorn is very heavy, don't let this king down." Before leaving, Xiao Ming instructed Yang Chengye.

Yang Chengye used to always think that he belonged to a small frontier official, but now that he has become a vital official, he is quite flattered.

He said: "Your Highness is at ease, Yang Chengye must go all out." ”

Xiao Ming nodded and looked at Ye Qingyun, "The defense of Dengzhou will be handed over to you, don't lose it, especially the coastal defense of the military port." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Ye Qingyun bowed in response.

instructed the two, Xiao Ming and Niu Ben led the army back, this time he went back to talk to the king of Chu and the king of Wei about the coastal supply point, after all, to fight Ryukyu, it is not possible to do without supplies.

Three days later, the two returned to Qingzhou, and this time it was half a month, and the weather became colder and colder.

Arriving in Qingzhou, Xiao Ming and Niu Ben separated outside the city, and he went straight back to the palace.

I never thought that as soon as he returned to the dormitory, a very fragrant scene suddenly appeared in front of him.
