Iron Dynasty

The Dutch were scared off by the fleet, and the atmosphere in this mansion was a bit warm. Eight? One Chinese network W=W≈W≤. ≥8≥1ZW. COM

Yang Chengye was most excited, and Xiao Ming said that the happier he was, and said, "His Royal Highness, really?"

Nowadays, the ports of Dayu State are basically in the south. Everyone knows the important role of ports in a place. If Dengzhou can become a prosperous port, then Dengzhou will soon become a wealthy city in the future.

As the governor of Dengzhou, he is naturally happy to see.

"Of course it is true, but this will have to wait for General Niu Ben and Yue Yun to seize Ryukyu." Xiao Ming smiled.

Yang Chengye stood up and said to Niu Ben and Yue Yun: "The two generals, the future of Dengzhou can count on the two generals."

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

The completion of the battleship means that Xiao Ming can control the waters near Dengzhou. For Xiao Ming, this is another large area of ​​maritime territory. He said: "From then on, our battleship has passed by our country. Sea area, Yang Cishi, you can't just look at the port. In fact, there is a lot of wealth in front of Dengzhou."

"Oh? Your Highness, please make it clear." Yang Chengye was puzzled.

"Marine fishing." Xiao Ming said softly.

Yang Chengye was overjoyed when he heard this. He slapped his thigh and said: "Oh, my lord, what you said is so right. Over the years, we have been bullied by Japanese pirates at sea. The officials have forgotten about this fishing. Go fishing."

"It's not just fishermen fishing. This king will allocate 30 merchant ships. These merchant ships will become fishing boats after modification. You have to set up a special fishing team to engage in marine fishing to provide meat for the inner six states and counties," said Xiao Ming.

This time I saw the Dutch not only shocked by the Dutch’s equipment, but also envied the Dutch’s sturdy body. In the country of Da Yu, except for the big belly and big waist, many people look malnourished. .

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

During the war with the barbarians, Xiao Ming also noticed this problem. In the early days, his soldiers were not as good as the barbarians in physical fitness, which would suffer in the war itself.

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

Without meat, the soldier would not be able to strengthen his physique to the same level as the barbarians or even Europeans in the long-term training, which he did not want to see.

In modern times, the food for soldiers is also an important criterion for the modernization of the army. Soldier training requires a lot of physical strength. If there is no guarantee of diet, training will be greatly reduced.

The fish recovered from thirty fishing boats may not be enough for his army, but he can at least boil it into soup for the soldiers to drink the broth every other time.

"Xiaguan remembered." Yang Chengye suddenly felt the burden on his body heavy.

In the past, Dengzhou was just a fringe city, but now it has suddenly become a crucial city, not only to establish coastal defense, but also to act as a trading port and fishing industry base.

Xiao Ming nodded, he had already explained what he should explain, the New Year was about to come, and after the New Year, his steps would be towards the ocean.

After spending a few days in Dengzhou, Xiao Ming inspected the exhibitions in various states and counties of Dengzhou, and at the same time checked the implementation of various government orders.

Now he is most concerned about the implementation of government orders in various states. Even in modern times, there are a lot of countermeasures at the top and bottom of policies. In this era of information obscuration, it is more prone to unreasonable government orders.

Therefore, when appointing Yang Chengye to the important task, he must know whether Yang Chengye has responded to various government orders issued by Qingzhou.

His inspection was a bit sudden, which also made Yang Chengye feel at a loss, but after the inspection, Xiao Ming's results were quite satisfactory.

Now there is no situation in Dengzhou where the wealthy people oppress neighbors. The former wealthy people have been divided into businessmen and 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 Dengzhou is sparsely populated, the people in Dengzhou have more land than Qingzhou.

This is the distinction between Kuanxiang and Xiaxiang in ancient times. There was more land in Kuanxiang and less land in Xiaxiang.

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

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

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

Spices are the most sold by Europeans in places like Malaysia.

Now Xiao Ming doesn't have enough spices. He can only use salt to preserve the sea fish. Although the sea fish is salty, the salt content of the sea fish is not enough to make the sea fish reach the salting standard.

Because he thought so, he needed the Salt Transport Division to get rid of more salt. At the same time, he was preparing to sell the salt to other places in Dayu, but the premise was that his salt was cheaper than other places.

This requires a more effective method of salt production.

"His Royal Highness, this is our way of making salt in Dengzhou."

The salt transport envoy of the Dengzhou Salt Transport Division was called Yao Wenyuan. After learning that Xiao Ming had gone to the salt field, Yao Wenyuan rushed over.

The place where Xiao Ming is now is a flat beach. There are more than one hundred thatched huts on the beach. At this time, smoke is constantly emitting from the thatched huts.

Some people are carrying sea water into the thatched house~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then they pour the water into gauze and filter it several times, then pour it into the pot, start heating and boiling to make salt.

"This is your salt-making method?" Xiao Ming frowned. This is the sea water boiling method.

Yao Wenyuan nodded and said, "His Royal Highness, that's right, the Salt Transportation Division has used this method to make salt since ancient times. Today, our Salt Transportation Division produces enough salt for the people of the six states."

"It's not enough now." Xiao Ming said: "This method of making salt is too slow. Now you must change to a quick and effective method of making salt."

"Other methods?" Yao Wenyuan looked confused.

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

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

"This method is very simple. This area is very large. You can dig out salt pans on this land. When the seawater is high tide, the seawater will cover the salt pans and let the sun dry the salt pans..." (To be continued.)
