The Dutch were scared away by the fleet, and the atmosphere in the palace was a little warm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Chengye was the most excited, Xiao Ming said this, he became more and more happy, and said, "Your Highness, really? ”

Nowadays, the ports of Dayu are basically in the south, and everyone knows the important role of ports to a place, if Dengzhou can become a prosperous port, then Dengzhou will soon become a wealthy city in the future.

As a Dengzhou assassin, he naturally likes to hear about it.

"Of course it's true, but this will have to wait for General Niu Ben and Yue Yun to take down the Ryukyus." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yang Chengye stood up and bowed his hand to Niu Ben and Yue Yun: "Two generals, the future of Dengzhou can count on the two generals. ”

"Yang Tingshi doesn't have to salute, this is what we should do." Niu Ben laughed.

The completion of the warship this time means that Xiao Ming can control the waters near Dengzhou, which is another large piece of maritime territory for Xiao Ming, he said: "From now on, the place where our warship has passed is the sea area of our Dayu country, Yang Tingshi, your eyes can not only see the port, in fact, Dengzhou has a great wealth in front of him." ”

"Oh? Please make it clear to Your Highness. Yang Chengye was puzzled.

"Ocean fishing." Xiao Ming said softly.

Yang Chengye was overjoyed when he heard this, he patted his thigh and said: "Oh, Your Highness, what you said is so right, we have been bullied by the Japanese at sea all these years, and the lower officials have forgotten about this fishing, and now our fishing boats are finally able to go out to sea to fish." ”

"It's not just fishermen fishing, this king will allocate thirty merchant ships, these merchant ships will be converted into fishing boats, and you Dengzhou will establish a special fishing team to engage in marine fishing to provide meat for inland states and counties." Xiao Ming said.

This time, I saw that the Dutch were not only shocked by the equipment of the Dutch, but also envied the strong body of the Dutch, and in the country of Dayu, in addition to the powerful and powerful people with big bellies and round waists, many people looked malnourished.

In the eyes of Europeans, this is no different from refugees, and is even seen by Europe as a symbol of poverty.

Xiao Ming also noticed this problem in the war with the barbarians, in the early days, his soldiers' physical fitness was inferior to the barbarians, which would suffer in the war.

When he came back, he could only let the army eat one meal of meat a month, and this was already the limit of Qingzhou's meat supply.

Without meat to eat, the soldier would not be able to increase his physique to the level of the barbarians or even the Europeans during his long training, which he did not want to see.

In modern times, soldiers' food is also an important standard for the modernization of the army, and soldiers' training requires a lot of physical strength, and if they cannot guarantee food, training will be greatly reduced.

Thirty fishing boats may not have enough fish for his troops, but he can at least make soup for his soldiers to drink every once in a while.

"Xia Guan remembered." Yang Chengye suddenly felt the burden on his body become heavier.

Once a marginal city, Dengju has suddenly become a vital city, not only for coastal defense, but also as a trading port and fishing base.

Xiao Ming nodded, he has explained everything he should explain, the New Year is coming soon, and his steps will go to the ocean after the New Year.

After staying in Dengzhou for a few more days, Xiao Ming inspected the development of various prefectures and counties in Dengzhou, and at the same time inspected the implementation of various government decrees.

Now he is most concerned about the implementation of government decrees in each state, and even in modern times, there are many countermeasures under the policies of the upper and lower levels, and in this era of information blockage, it is more likely that government decrees will not be implemented.

Therefore, when appointing Yang Chengye to the important task, he must find out whether Yang Chengye has responded to the various decrees issued by Qingzhou.

His inspection was a bit sudden, which also made Yang Chengye a little at a loss, but after the inspection, Xiao Ming was quite satisfied with the results.

Now there is no situation in Dengzhou where the wealthy clan oppresses the neighbors, and the former wealthy clans have all become businessmen, and they no longer have tribal arms.

The distribution of land in Dengzhou is also very reasonable, and there is no dissatisfaction among the people, in fact, because of the sparse number of people in Dengzhou, the land of the people in Dengzhou is more than that in Qingzhou.

This is the ancient distinction between wide townships and narrow townships, with wide townships having more land and less land being divided into narrow townships.

In addition to this, he went to check the granary reserves in Dengzhou, which was a top priority in ancient times, because the amount of grain meant how long the war would last.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Xiao Ming finally went to the Salt Transportation Division in Dengzhou.

After the start of marine fishing, salt will be a big problem, because at this time there is no freezing technology, only salt and spices can be used to preserve food, which is why ancient spices are so important to be one of the willing.

The Europeans occupied Malaysia and other places, and spices were the most trafficked.

Now Xiao Ming does not have enough spices, he can only take the method of salting the sea fish to keep the sea fish alive, although the sea fish is salty, but the salt content of the sea fish is not enough for the sea fish to meet the standard of pickling.

Thinking so, he needed the Salt Transport Division to eradicate more salt, and at the same time, he was also prepared to sell the salt to the rest of the country, but only if his salt was cheaper than the salt from other places.

This requires more efficient methods of salt production.

"Your Highness, this is how we make salt in Dengzhou."

The salt transportation envoy of the Dengzhou Salt Transportation Division was called Yao Wenyuan, and after learning that Xiao Ming had gone to the salt field, Yao Wenyuan immediately rushed over.

The place where Xiao Ming is now is a flat beach, and there are more than 100 thatched huts on the beach, and smoke is constantly rising from the thatched huts at this time.

Some people were carrying sea water into the thatched huts, and then they poured the water into gauze and filtered it several times, then poured it into a pot and began to heat and boil it to make salt.

"This is your method of salt making?" Xiao Ming frowned, this is the seawater boiling method.

Yao Wenyuan nodded and said: "Your Highness, that's right, since ancient times, the Salt Transportation Division has made salt in this way, and now the salt produced by our Salt Transportation Division is enough for the people of the six states." ”

"Not enough now." Xiao Ming said: "This method of salt production is too slow, and now you must replace it with a fast and effective salt production method." ”

"Something else?" Yao Wenyuan's face was confused.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "You have to remember what this king is saying now, and you will adopt this method to make salt in the future." ”

After that, Xiao Ming told Yao Wenyuan about the modern salt drying method.

"It's a simple method, it's a big area, you can dig out the salt pans in this land, and when the tide rises, the sea will cover the salt pans and let the sun dry the salt pans ......" (To be continued.) )
