The history of making salt from seawater in China is very early, dating back to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but the strange thing is that the history of drying salt is extremely short, and the real salt drying method did not begin to appear until the Song Dynasty, before which people have been using the boiling salt method, using firewood to burn seawater, to obtain the coarse-grained sea salt needed.

As for coarse salt, edible salt can be produced through secondary processing, dissolving, filtration, removal of impurities, carbon filtration and other processes.

Of course, it can't be compared with modern refined salt.

But in this day and age, those are already considered good salt.

"How do you dry salt?" Lu Pheasant asked.

"It's very simple, dig a pool, put in the seawater and let the sun steam it, dry the seawater in the first-level pool for a day, put it in the second-level pool, and so on, after 9 pools in a row, the seawater at this time becomes brine, and when it is placed in the tenth pool, the seawater will condense, crystalline salt appears, and now you can start harvesting." Jiang Hao said.

Lu Pheasant's eyes widened, "It's that simple?" ”

"It's not complicated at all, it's just that no one knows about it." Jiang Hao smiled.

"But what if it rains, isn't it in vain?" Lu Pheasant asked.

"Indeed, so we should choose when the weather is good, of course, sometimes there may not be more than ten days of good weather, if it rains heavily, we can put the brine in the brine pool in advance and seal it, and then release it when the weather is good, so that it will save a lot of trouble, but drying salt is a job to watch the sky and eat after all." Jiang Hao said.

"Then you might as well boil salt." Lu Pheasant feels that it is not very safe, and it is easy to fall short.

Jiang Hao shook his head, "But do you know that the output of dried salt, if it is done well, will be a hundred times the output of boiled salt, and it does not have to consume too much manpower, and more importantly, it does not have to use a lot of firewood, which is green and environmentally friendly." ”

"Eco-friendly?"

"Yes, eco-friendly."

"Is it important to be environmentally friendly?"

Jiang Hao's face became very serious, and he said: "Environmental protection is very, very, very!!, very ”

Lu Pheasant was shocked by Jiang Hao's long list of environmental protection, and nodded with some horror, "Mmmmmm, the slave family knows, environmental protection is very important, so what is Lang Jun going to do?" ”

"You call a group of people over, 500 people, and I'll instruct them to build a salt pond here." Jiang Hao said.

"But Lang Jun, why bother so much if we stay here for a year?" Lu Pheasant asked.

"Little fool, isn't it good to go back and give this property to my father-in-law, this is a big business with a lot of profits, and it will be no problem to make the Lu family rich in the world in the future, that porcelain kiln is too small after all, and the government will also make a lot of porcelain in the future, this salt field business, just take it as a dowry gift for my father-in-law, who called someone greedy, and asked for two daughters who are like flowers and jade and delicate, smart and caring and capable, I don't give more dowry, I feel guilty." Jiang Hao opened his mouth to say a lot of sweet words.

Lu Pheasant's heart felt like it was about to fly, his eyes looked at Jiang Hao, and countless peach hearts squirted out from it.

"Xie Langjun loves Pheasant and Su Su so much." Lu Pheasant said softly.

Jiang Hao stretched out his hand and pinched Lu Pheasant's cheek, and said with a smile: "No way, who made someone feel ashamed, I was scolded all night, I'm afraid that my little secretary will be angry." ”

Lu Pheasant smiled sweetly, "Pheasant is just playing petty, how can she really be angry, and she doesn't dare to be angry with Lang Jun." ”

But then Lu Pheasant's little face showed a slightly sad look, and he looked at Jiang Hao's eyes and said weakly: "The slave family knows that Lang Jun loves Pheasant and Susu, but we are just concubines after all, and I only ask Lang Jun not to dislike our sisters for being old and decrepit in the future, and abandon them casually." ”

Jiang Hao frowned slightly, "How is it possible, Pheasant is thinking too much." ”

Jiang Hao knew that this was Lu Pheasant's biggest worry, thinking that at the beginning, when Jiang Hao and the Lu family had just come into contact, Lu Gong asked Jiang Hao if he had a family, Jiang Hao said that he had already made a marriage, and later developed to the point that Lu Gong gave Lu Pheasant to Jiang Hao as a concubine and climbed his big tree.

Now Su Su has also followed Jiang Hao, although there is no cave room, but nominally he is already his concubine.

But the status of concubines in ancient times was very low, ancient China has always been monogamous, and it has continued until modern times, as for concubines, they are not men's wives at all, they are just indulgent tools, some can be bought and sold at will, abandoned at will, and only after giving birth to children, will the status of the child be improved.

Jiang Hao even felt that the ancient concubine system was a cruel and ruthless system without humanity, and it was not as good as the system of taking four wives in some countries, at least those wives were legal and had the same status.

Jiang Hao took Lu Pheasant in his arms, put his mouth to her ear and whispered: "After we go out to settle down, Lang Jun will announce the complete abolition of the concubine system and change to polygamy, each man can only take a maximum of four wives, and if the quota of four wives is used up, he will not be allowed to take it again for life." ”

Lu Pheasant's heart shook wildly.

She was already extremely smart, and she heard a lot of meaning from Jiang Hao's words.

Proclamation of the abolition of concubinage and the replacement of polygamy,

Whoever has this right, I am afraid that only the king of a country has this right.

She had had countless conjectures before, and now that she heard Jiang Hao express this meaning, she felt that her previous conjecture might be true, Lang Jun's heart was big, big.

She thought about it again, if Lang Jun became the monarch and changed the system, then she would be a wife, which was great news for her, and in this way, wouldn't she be the queen.

Lu Pheasant had a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed.

Jiang Hao let go of her, looked at Lu Pheasant with a smirk on his face, and flicked his fingers on her smooth forehead, "Don't smirk, you have to do a lot of things in the future, all of this is for our future planning, you know." ”

"The pheasant knows that the pheasant will be even more ...... Work with heart. Lu Pheasant said with a smile.

Just now, Lu Pheasant had already regarded what Jiang Hao said as the highest goal in the future, she would work hard for that goal, and whoever dared to stop it would kill her, hehe.

Jiang Hao flicked her head again, "Dare to learn from me to speak, be careful of turning into a little stammer." ”

The two laughed in the car.

After the two of them finished arguing, Lu Pheasant looked at Jiang Hao and suddenly asked, "Lang Jun, why are there four?" ”

"What four?"

"Why does Lang Jun stipulate that he can take a maximum of four wives, me, Su Su, and the princess Yushu who has never met, these are only three, is there any other candidate for Lang Jun?"

Jiang Hao hugged Lu Pheasant to his lap again and pumped his ass.

If you can't find a reason, let's spank.

......

A month has passed, everything is going very smoothly, although there are many things, when Jiang Hao arranges everything and arranges suitable subordinates to do things, all parties progress very quickly.

The Donghai county guard received Jiang Hao's orders, and did not dare to slack off, and recruited five or six hundred crew members to send them in a month, and Cao Shen arranged all these people to the 30 building ships that had been built, and began to train and operate the boats.

After the shipyard built the ten building ships, it stopped building the building ships, and now more than 6,000 craftsmen have begun to build treasure ships and tooth ships with all their might.

Xiao He also sent a group of people, there were hundreds of crew members, more were female slaves and orphans, the first time he sent people, Xiao He came to see Jiang Hao with him, there were more than 2,000 female slaves in the first batch, and there were more than 1,000 orphans, and there may be more in the future.

Jiang Hao calculated according to the number of ships, excluding the place occupied by the materials, he could bring 6 or 70,000 people, now the army is 6,000, the craftsmen are more than 6,000, the slaves are more than 3,000, and the crew needs about 5,000.

In this way, it is almost the same as looking for 20,000 female slaves and 20,000 orphans.

After saying this, Xiao He told Jiang Hao a piece of news, "Lord, I just got the news, not long ago, the first emperor announced to the world, officially canonized Fusu Gongzi as the crown prince, and at the same time ordered Fusu Gongzi to participate in some government affairs, and now Fusu Gongzi has rushed to Xianyang from the northern frontier, it is estimated that it has not yet arrived." ”

Hearing this news, Jiang Hao was stunned,

Fusu was made the crown prince.

He also let him participate in politics.

In history, this has never happened, why didn't Qin Shi Huang set up a prince, in fact, this is also his selfishness, the establishment of a prince shows that he is arranging for future generations, he is unwilling to admit that he will die, but he didn't expect that he died so early and so suddenly.

In fact, on the parade road, Qin Shi Huang fell ill and realized that he was about to die, he had already made a lot of arrangements, such as letting the convoy rush to the northern border to meet Fusu, such as writing the edict of succession at the end, but he never expected that in the end, because of Zhao Gao, the Ying family was ruined.

It is said that Qin Shi Huang does not like his eldest son, that he is weak, believes in Confucianism, and Fusu still opposes him everywhere, but in Qin Shi Huang's heart, he has always thought that his eldest son Fusu is the best candidate to inherit the throne.

Sending Fusu to the frontier and staying by Meng Tian, who has an army of 300,000, is actually a kind of protection, who can move Fusu under the protection of an army of 300,000.

But what happened later, there was a series of dramatic changes, Zhao Gao faked the holy decree and asked Fusu to commit suicide, Meng Tian stopped him, but Fusu still stubbornly waved his sword to kill himself, and Meng Tian was also helpless.

Now that Fusu has been established as the crown prince and returned to Xianyang to participate in government affairs, this will ensure Fusu's status at once, and others may be difficult to shake.

It seems that the First Emperor has made a decision to let the country enter a state of recuperation, and Fusu is indeed the best candidate for a stable country.

However, Fusu has always liked Confucianism, and he doesn't know what impact it will have on the development of Taoism, Jiang Hao thought about it, and suddenly smiled lightly, if the development of a sect is too smooth, it will quickly become bloated and arrogant, and even become domineering.

Someone knocks, maybe you can better recognize yourself, so as to become more adaptable to society, you are ready to leave, the Holy See has also been handed over to the first emperor, as for the future, it depends on his development.

Broken words, broken glass, late autumn wind, what joys and sorrows are taken by themselves, people must always learn to grow up by themselves, learn to face all the hardships and twists and turns.

The same is true for a denomination.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

30 big ships have been prepared, the crew is skillfully controlled, the materials are also ready, and the time has entered September, Jiang Hao said to Lu Pheasant: "Pheasant, everything is ready, Lang Jun is ready to leave for Goguryeo, you can take care of things at home." ”

Lu Pheasant nodded, "I wish Langjun all the best and bring Sister Yushu back as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Hao smiled, "How do you know it's my sister." ”

"When I entered the door late, I was naturally my sister." Lu Pheasant said with a sly smile.
