Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 252
At noon the next day, when everyone saw the small salt grains on the soil, they were all in a bad mood.

At once. . . . .So simple?This is the legendary magic skill?Why didn't I think of it!
It’s really that simple, just keep repeating the process of storing salt in the mud, and it won’t take a few waves. After the amount of salt reaches a certain level, you can use a small shovel to collect it, and you can also pour water into it. People step on it constantly with their feet, and what they step on is almost pure salt water. It is much easier to separate salt water than sea water.

I have to say it’s ironic, it’s such a simple method, the Chinese people have boiled salt for more than 5000 years, no salt workers have thought of it, but when all the salt fields in the Ming Dynasty used this new method, no one knew it. who invented the method.

Only then did everyone understand why Qin Hao never revealed a word of his salt-making magical skills as precious as ever, because this method can't be hidden at all. It will be known all over the world, and any family can learn from it.

The squirrel was the first to jump up, carefully picked out a large grain from the pile of soil and put it in his mouth, then he showed an ecstatic smile.

"Good! Great! It's no worse than well salt."

No worse than Jingyan, but just five words seem to have a strange magic power, which makes everyone go crazy in an instant. Where does everyone have the image of the leader of the Green Gang? Going to the salt mud to pick up salt and stuffing it into their mouths, many people even had no time to blow off the mud, and laughed loudly while spitting out mud clods, how weird and weird the scene looked, Qin Hao also showed his understanding smile.

The coarse salt produced by this ancient method is actually mediocre in quality, far inferior to that produced by the modern vacuum process. The purity of modern pure salt is generally above 90.00% before adding iodine. The energy here Reaching 60.00% is not bad, indeed it can barely compare with ordinary well salt, even green smoke is inferior, but its cost and labor consumption are much less than well salt, the most important thing is to in his output.

How many salt wells are there in the entire Central Plains?But how many salt pans can be drawn if the entire coastline is drawn?
Of course, it doesn’t mean that as long as it’s the seaside, it’s suitable for a salt field. If so, there’s no need to mention any regulations. The choice of a salt field must be a place with high tides and low tides, and a place with good sunshine and little rainfall. Locally, the most ideal large salt fields are in the Lianghuai area. This is why the Ming Dynasty collected salt tax specifically in the Lianghuai area. As for the salt fields in other places, they are not easy to manage because they are not large. This way.

Basically, it is impossible to grow crops in places suitable for enclosing salt fields, but since the imperial court wants to control them in patches, it is natural to remove all the nearby residents. There are many, but the Chinese people have such abilities, let alone saline-alkali land, deserts and high mountains can make him grow crops.

Before, Qin Hao had asked Cheng Huaimo to start part of the demolition work with the influence of their family, but the factory in Yangzhou had not started for a long time, and a large number of people still could not be resettled. As long as the crops in that field were not confiscated, No one was willing to abandon the fields just like that, so the progress of the demolition work was really too slow. In the past few months, even [-] mu hadn't been cleared.

"Brother Xu, I'm afraid we don't have time to do the meticulous work. After the simple training of the Yangzhou government soldiers, you will work harder and take charge of all the demolition work yourself. All the officials above the school lieutenants along the Lianghuai coast will report directly to you. After the autumn harvest All the salt fields must be cleared within a month! These government soldiers will be in charge of guarding the salt fields in the future."

This job is undoubtedly very hard. Xu Jie is not afraid of hard work, but he couldn't help but frowned and sighed: "If you are in such a hurry... I'm afraid, many people will die."

Qin Hao also felt the same way, and couldn't help feeling lonely, so he could only sigh along with him: "Brother Xu, kindness does not control soldiers. This is not only about the Green Gang, but also about the navy, and even about the century-old fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, the rise and fall of the nation for a thousand years, At this time, I can't be soft-hearted. I will get money as soon as possible to make resettlement fees. Officers who dare to corrupt civilians' resettlement fees will be punished by military law. .”

"Okay, I understand the truth. We soldiers should do our best to obey the destiny."

At this time, everyone listened to the conversation between Qin Hao and Xu Jie, and felt a little embarrassed for a while. The mood that was crying with joy just now turned to depression, and they all expressed their willingness to donate more money. Naturally, the gang members gave their full support.

Just like what Xu Jie said, it is by no means an easy project to do one’s best and obey the destiny. You can see by comparing the Qing Dynasty’s move to the sea a few years later. The scope of his circle of salt fields is actually worse than that of the Qing Dynasty’s move to the sea. Not too much.

Qin Hao still remembers the evaluation of this period of history: "It was ordered that on that day, the wife and children would be carried on the road, placed in his room, set on fire, and no stones would be left."More than half of the people died, and their pillows were covered with roads.That is to say, those who can go to the inland will not have the food of Danshi, and they are starving to death now'.

To translate it means that more than half of the people who moved to the sea died, and one out of ten who survived starved to death. (Hehe, Emperor Kangxi)
Of course, Qin Hao is not a tartar, he is a member of his own family in the Tang Dynasty. If such a thing really happens, no one will be able to protect him. From the order to the execution, there has always been a gap of thousands of miles. Did Kangxi think that it would be so miserable when he ordered to move to the sea?Probably not, Qin Hao asked himself that he might not be as good as Kangxi in terms of ability, and there was actually not much he could do, except to earn as much resettlement fees as possible for the people of Yantian.

"Leave it to Brother Xu. When Brother Xu and we were in Luoyang, we could appease millions of disaster victims. I don't believe that our two brothers will not be able to clean up the enclosure this time."

Xu Jie turned his head and looked at Qin Hao with a smile. At this moment, the two of them really found the feeling that when they first entered Luoyang City last year, they didn't have a million burdens. They stretched out their hands and clenched them into fists. Qin Hao also stretched out with a smile. The fists collided vigorously. This is the posture Qin Hao brought from later generations. Last year, when they were uncertain, they often cheered themselves up like this.

A gust of autumn wind blew by, rolling up a cool place.

"It's windy, it's time to work."
