Chapter 437
With the sea breeze blowing, the waves beat on the white sand beach, making waves sound.
"The salt field should be divided into two parts, one is evaporation pool, the other is crystallization pool. Generally speaking, salt drying needs to go through seven sets of processes, including beach construction, beach consolidation, tide reception, brine making, brine measurement, crystallization and salt recovery." Xiao Ming explained to Yao Wenyuan the method of salt drying in seawater.
At this time, the salt drying patterns in the science and Technology Library kept appearing in Yao Wenyuan's mind, as if Xiao Ming had experienced every sentence for him.
And he gradually understood what is called evaporation pool, what is called crystallization pool, what is called saturated solution, and how to continue to extract after dissolving crude salt.
After a detailed account, Xiao Ming said to Yao Wenyuan, "do you understand now?"
Yao Wenyuan nodded, "Your Highness, I understand. This salt drying method is to first build beaches, then level beaches, and introduce seawater into salt fields when the sea is at high tide to make brine. Then, lotus seeds are used to determine the saturation degree of brine. Generally speaking, there are two lotus seeds, one is 50% in size, and the other is 100% in size Small. If 50% lotus seeds are raised in the brine, it is 20% to 30% brine, and if they float on the brine surface, it is 50% brine. When the brine reaches 100%, the mud on the ground of the crystal pool will be removed, polished and compacted, and the brine will be put in. The crystal will float on the same day, and the salt will return to the lump in a few days. "
After a pause, Yao Wenyuan continued: "at this time, we still get coarse salt. The usable salt needs to continue to be dissolved, filtered with charcoal and crystallized into fine salt."
Nodding with satisfaction, Xiao Ming said: "yes, that's the way. The construction camp will arrive in the next few days. They will help you build the salt field. Yang Cishi, you should cooperate with the salt transportation department to expand the number of salt workers. The number of salt workers should be expanded to 2000. If salt production is hard, you should pay more salaries to the salt workers. In addition, salt production is a major event of the country. You are the salt transportation department Don't neglect one's duty, or you can't blame me for being ruthless. "
Finally, Xiao Ming's tone suddenly became very severe.
Yao Wenyuan and Yang Chengye immediately bowed and said, "I dare not."
"It's the best." Xiao Ming said lightly that the destruction of an empire often started from the inside. In ancient times, peasant uprisings often failed because the people inside were eager to enjoy themselves.
He was more worried about the rise of hedonism and the corruption of officials.
After talking about the salt drying method, Xiao Ming, Niu Zhen and others rode along the coastline.
The salt field of the salt transportation department already belongs to the border of Dengzhou. To the west is Laizhou. In addition to having a salt farm here, he also asked the salt transportation department to go to Laizhou Bay to build three more salt farms.
In modern times, the salt farms in Laizhou Bay are well-known all over the country. In ancient times, Qi was always the area with the richest salt production. Even the salt in this area was once the source of tribute salt. The predecessor Xiao Ming didn't pay attention to it. Now he has to expand the salt industry. After all, it is a stable source of income. When the industry comes up, he is ready to sell salt to every corner of Dayu.
Along the coast to Dengzhou, Xiao Ming vaguely sees an island on the sea, which is the modern Changdao County.
The scope of Dengzhou in Dayu state is very wide, and the place where Dengzhou city is set up is now Penglai. Changdao County is facing Penglai. In addition to Penglai, the scope of Dengzhou also includes modern Yantai, Weihai, Qixia, Haiyang, Rushan and other large areas.
The military port he set up was the famous Penglai military port of the Ming Dynasty. During the Wanli period, the navy of the Ming Dynasty started to fight with Japanese pirates at sea. At the same time, it was also the place where Qi Jiguang trained his troops. After the second Opium War, Dengzhou was required to be a trading port.
Therefore, Xiao Ming didn't make a decision here, but he had his own basis.
Besides, Dengzhou is in a superior position. On the opposite side is Beisha City, which is the modern Dalian city. From Dengzhou, the sea distance is only 200 Li. His Navy can arrive in one day.
Today, Koryo and the barbarians collude, make peace with the Japanese, and send a large number of soldiers to attack the coastal areas disguised as Japanese pirates. When they win Ryukyu, the next step is to pick up sticks and teach them how to behave.
After several days of inspection, Xiao Ming has a detailed understanding of Dengzhou. Dengzhou will become a prosperous port city in the future, which makes him have to pay attention to it. Even after the steam locomotive is developed, he will consider the construction of a railway line from Qingzhou to Dengzhou as soon as possible, so that a continuous flow of materials can be transported out by sea.
After returning to Dengzhou and resting for two days, Xiao Ming is ready to return to Qingzhou.
Now that the navy is beginning to show its glory, and the North has temporarily stabilized, he can finally not be anxious all day, and the rest of the work only needs to be done step by step. He can also be a teacher of Bowen college and show his knowledge in the science and Technology Library to the students of the college.
There's no way. Seriously speaking, what he's going to do now is military politics. All industries serve the military. The real civilian industry has not developed much.Besides military science and technology, science has not been expanded. This development is abnormal. Compared with today's European civilization, his fiefdom still belongs to an uncivilized area.
However, it is very difficult to change the way of thinking of a nation. It is just like cooking small delicacies in governing a big country that we can only come without heat and without impatience.
"Yang Chengye, I've said all that I should say these days. You, the governor, have a heavy responsibility. Don't let me down." Before leaving, Xiao Ming told Yang Chengye.
Yang Chengye used to think that he belonged to a small frontier official. Now he has become a crucial official. He is quite flattered.
"Your Highness is at ease. Yang Chengye will do his best," he said
Xiao Ming nodded and looked at Ye Qingyun, "the defense of Dengzhou is up to you. Don't lose anything, especially the coastal defense of the military port."
"Yes, your highness." Ye Qingyun bowed to answer.
Xiao Ming and Niu Zhen are instructed to lead the army back. This time, he has to talk to the king of Chu and the king of Wei about this coastal supply point. After all, they have to fight Ryukyu. They can't do without supplies.
Three days later, they returned to Qingzhou. This time, it was half a month, and the weather became colder and colder.
Arriving in Qingzhou, Xiao Ming and Niu Zhen separate outside the city. He goes straight back to the palace.
Did not think he just returned to the bedroom hall, a scene is very beautiful scene suddenly appeared in front of me.
