"Your Zhuangzi's method of purifying refined salt has been passed to the seaside, and the salt produced by the sea is good, and it has its own way of life."

Li Longji was still a little embarrassed to talk about this, he had a lot of salt wells.

There are also natural gas wells, which lead to fires, and in addition to boiling salt and brine, the people in the vicinity also go to process things.

Such as reeling silk, boiling sauce, making dried green onions, and cooking by the way does not use your own firewood.

When no one mentions dried green onions, the green onions can't be eaten and can only rot.

In the past, the people of Shu made the surplus green onions into dried green onions and sold them to the imperial court, which sent them to the front-line soldiers.

The price is not high, and the demand for quantity is large.

In addition, other dishes that need to be dried are also put on and 'fried', and after the frying is completed, they are transported to the front line.

There are also meat floss and brewed vinegar, which are needed by the soldiers at the border.

Li Longji does not charge for the use of natural gas in this way, and others use it to boil salt and brine to collect money.

He believed that his salt wells were making life more difficult for people near the sea, and decided to help by improving the quality of sea salt.

Li Yi shook his head: "I can't afford it, they don't have so many auxiliary materials, in fact, I have another method, change the boiling sea to salt and drying the sea into salt......"

Li Yi began to introduce how to make salt pans, how to increase the salt content of seawater again and again, and when to add brine to catalyze.

As well as the process of salt rake pushing salt, salt production cycle.

"Third brother, with this method, the salt will be piled up like a hill, picked in baskets, and the same labor force and labor time will be hundreds of times that of boiling salt."

Li Longji was stupid when he heard this, he tried hard to think about the salt piles like hills, and the seaside was full of white salt.

Everyone picks salt, and they sweat from a basket......

"Brother Yi, this method is good, save firewood, the speed is fast, and it should be used."

Li Longji hated to fly directly to the beach and teach the people there how to dry salt.

"When the time comes, there will be more salt and the price will be lower, whether it is Shu salt or sea salt, you can't make money, and the money will be made by the merchants."

Li Yi said a way, but he didn't plan to use it now.

So much salt, build roads? Qinghai Lake?

"Brother Yi, compared to more people who can eat cheap salt, the loss of salt drying people on the beach can be subsidized by the imperial court."

Li Longji disagrees, arguing that there are far fewer people drying salt on the beach than people who need cheap salt.

As for the impact on the income of the well salt in his Shu land, he didn't care.

The quality of Shu salt is always higher than that of sea salt, and it is impossible to buy sea salt when you eat salt close to Shu.

The Yangtze River goes down the river, Dongting Lake, eat sea salt, and wait for the sea salt plus the road fee to arrive, which is guaranteed to be more expensive than Shu salt.

There is also the Hanzhong area, on the way from Shu to Chang'an, it is better to eat Shu salt.

Li Yi frowned and thought about it, to see if he would lose the interests of the salt tanners.

Drying salt is more efficient than boiling salt, and the price of salt will be lower.

Drying salt is actually quite tiring, and now drying salt is barefoot in the water.

In fact, the salt is boiled similarly, and the water scooped from the sea is barefoot, but the salt concentration of the sea water is low.

The salt is dried in more than 30 percent concentration of salt water, and there is also salt walking.

"If the salt is dried, the imperial court is in charge, and the local people are hired to dry it, giving benefits, and at the same time limiting the price of salt.

For example, if the salt is produced in the salt factory, it is sold for three catties for one penny, and there is a large amount of profit, and the profit is subsidized to the people who dry the salt to provide them with protective measures.

As a salt tax on sea salt, salt pans are not allowed to be set up privately in other places.

Then the imperial court began to fight against illegal salt, and the people sent there were bound to do private goods. ”

Li Yi said all the key issues, and you can choose if it doesn't work.

If the price is not set, the people who dry the salt are still poor. Pricing, private salt is profitable, it is impossible not to mine privately.

Was he strictly supervised at that time? Is the monitoring system powerful? Is there any private salt?

"Put, put out the way to dry salt. There are really smuggled salt sellers...... Kill! ”

Li Longji admitted that what Li Yi said could not be eradicated, so he could only find out again and again and kill him.

"In this case, you can ask the people from the local newspaper to keep an eye on it, and the people at the post station should also keep an eye on it, as well as the team of unannounced visits.

Even if they want to bribe, they must first find out all the ways to report it. Illicit salt is hard to forbid, but it can reduce losses. ”

Li Yi gave follow-up means, just expose it.

Boiling salt in winter is cold, boiling salt in summer is easy to heat stroke, and drying salt is ...... Safeguards keep up.

"Tomorrow in the newspaper?" Li Longji decided to let the people of Datang eat cheaper salt.

"Send someone to the place to be responsible for building a salt pond, don't put it in the newspaper, someone else takes the newspaper, and you can learn it when you go back."

Li Yi didn't want people to learn, especially in Khitan and Bohai.

There are salt farms in the Bohai Sea, not sun-dried.

As long as the price of salt in Datang is low enough, it can be transported to Bohai to be sold, and the selling price is cheaper than the salt they get themselves, and they will not produce salt themselves.

Then the price of salt was raised, and when the other party saw that it was expensive, he was ready to cook the salt himself, and he boiled it, and the price of salt in Datang was reduced again, and the person who cooked it could only give up.

In the long run, the price of salt rises and falls, and people who want to cook salt see that it is unprofitable, so they will naturally not get salt again.

In other words, even if the salt of the Tang Dynasty was sold at the same price as the original Bohai salt, the people of Bohai did not cook it themselves.

They are worried that as soon as it is cooked, the price of salt in Datang will be low, and they will lose it.

Datang was able to make profits from the process of selling salt from Bohai for a long time, suppressing the other party's salt industry.

Just like at his time, the salt grown in foreign countries hit the salt growers in the country, and the salt extraction companies bought foreign salt.

Then the technology was updated, and the blended salt was invented, two to two, two parts of genetically modified salt, two parts of gutter salt, and two parts of moldy aged salt.

Mixed together, it becomes a good salt for new technology.

Li Longji bowed his head: "That's fine, send eunuchs." ”

"Cheng, there is no difference between eunuchs and other officials, they should be killed or killed." Li Yi had a casual attitude towards who to send to organize the drying of salt.

Salt is not priced by the government, and the people who dry salt have been exploited and have no labor security.

If the price is set, it will inevitably include additional profits, and some people will want to squeeze this profit and sell illicit salt.

The local government colluded with each other to oppose the inspectors.

caught killing a group and raiding a group, the court returned blood through this method.

The new official repeats the path taken by his predecessor, and the cycle continues.

"What kind of goods are being sent over there in the Yellow River?" Li Longji finally asked about the business he had come to do.

"Seafood, dried oysters, mussels, dried clams, shrimp, dried shrimp and shrimp, newspapers, vouchers."

Li Yi casually said a few things, on the other side of the Yellow River are Gansu, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia, and now they can't eat Shanghai products, and they don't have anything to do.

Mo said that it was the mainland now, when he was surrounded by a large sea in Liaoning, Liaoning, Fushun, Anshan and other places, it was not easy to eat some seafood in the 80s.

Because these cities are not next to the sea, some dry goods are used for hot pot by the sea, which is precious.

Datang Chang'an looks relatively close to Yinchuan, but it is actually quite far, and it is necessary to go over the mountains and mountains by land, and not to go by water.

If you can finally cross Hukou Waterfall, you have to let the people over there know about the seafood.

"When I went, I put down some of the seafood and told the local people to harvest the local produce and trade it when I came back. By the way, I will promote the exchange voucher. ”

Li Yi even thought about how to trade, and the people in those places were relatively unfamiliar with the imperial court.

A little bit to familiarize them with and recognize them.
