Chapter 451: Self-Knowledge

Zhao Hao, who had made up his mind, revealed his intention to attack Quanzhou intentionally or unintentionally in the subsequent chat, and Lu Xiufu was not surprised by his performance, except for worrying about returning from the previous two failures, he had no objection to attacking Quanzhou, but still made reservations to support it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhao Yu is not worried, because he also knows the truth that distant water cannot extinguish the near fire, and understands that after conquering Quanzhou, the economic situation of the Xing Dynasty can be greatly improved, and he will no longer worry about money for a period of time, so that his slaughter can be quite happy.

However, Lu Xiufu secretly scolded the little emperor in his heart for being too cunning, and he first used the construction of salt pans to make quick profits as bait to introduce himself into the pit, forcing him to agree to his interference in the government, but he turned his face and told himself that he had a faster way to 'get rich', which made your heart itch, and he was worried about whether this child was digging a pit and setting up an ambush for himself again. If you let him earn it in the front, he will earn it, and he can't take back what he says, so let's see if he has any tricks after that, and then make a decision after finding out the details.

In the next few days, Lu Xiufu didn't dare to chat with His Majesty easily, lest he be calculated by this kid again, and Zhao Yu didn't have time to deal with them, he had to prepare for the site selection of the salt farm, and the salt content of the seawater at the site should be high first, which can meet the standard of drying salt; In addition, the transportation is convenient, which is convenient for the transportation of finished products and the supply of materials; In addition, it can avoid typhoons to avoid destroying the salt pans; Finally, it is necessary not to occupy reclaimable wasteland, and to have a large enough area. Among them, the high salt content is the most important, otherwise it will be laborious and laborious, and the output will be low.

Don't think about the modern measuring instruments in this era, Zhao Hao can only use the local method, and when he first visited, he did not remember the name of the 'fairy grass' used to measure the concentration of brine, so he could only find another way. The current man has to find a suitable object as a concentration gauge according to the accumulation of experience, and cite it as a secret, but in his opinion, modern students who have gone to junior high school can see through the mystery, and the old salt workers only use the relationship between the density and buoyancy of the object and the liquid, but they do not know the principle.

"Your Majesty, are you going to fish again?" Wang De saw that His Majesty made a few small wooden balls, punched holes in them, and inserted a thin piece of wood, which looked like a fish floating. He thought that the little emperor must have felt that the journey was lonely, and he wanted to go fishing on the deck again.

"No, where do you have time to fish now, you go and find me more coarse sea salt!" Zhao Yu set a small piece of lead weighing on the end of a 'fish float', and said without raising his head, "Oh, you're looking for a big bucket for me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing the busy appearance of the little emperor, Wang De promised to make people hurry up and get ready to send it.

When the things were ready and delivered to the door, Wang De's face immediately darkened, and those people brought him a whole bag of salt, not to mention a hundred and ten catties. And this studio is the most important place for His Majesty, no one is allowed to enter without orders, even if it is cleaned, Wang De does it himself, but now these things can only be moved in by him himself.

"Go, get a few more buckets of water, each bucket of water must be weighed, exactly ten catties a bucket, don't be wrong!" Zhao Yu looked at the basin and salt that Wang De was about to ask for, grabbed the salt and looked at it, the color of the salt was gray, and he twisted it with his fingers, it contained sediment, it was the coarse salt that had not been filtered and purified, and it was used to pickle vegetables and marinate meat in the kitchen. He nodded in satisfaction, pointed to the barrel and said.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?" Wang De ordered someone to bring the water, and brought it in one by one, he asked puzzledly.

"Weigh the sea!" Zhao Yu asked Wang De to pour all the water into the vat, and said with a smile.

"Weigh the sea?!" Wang De was stunned when he heard this, was the little emperor crazy and wanted to weigh the sea with a wooden barrel.

"Silly fellow!" Zhao Hao smiled and put the 'fish floats' in his hands into the bucket one by one, and marked the place where the rod was level with the water surface after the water surface was stable. Then he performed some calculations on paper, asked Wang De to weigh a pound and two taels of salt and put it in a bucket, and kept stirring until the salt was all dissolved, and then put the 'fish drift' into it again, and marked it again, and so on many times before giving up.

"Your Majesty, alright?" Seeing that His Majesty had finally stopped, Wang De wiped his sweat and asked.

"Alright, let's carry it out, and let someone get a bucket of seawater!" Zhao Yu said casually.

"Oh!" Wang De agreed, and couldn't help complaining in his heart that His Majesty was calling the sea, obviously tossing himself to play, thinking that he didn't seem to have offended His Majesty recently!

"It's done, that's it!" This time, Zhao Yu did the opposite, weighed the seawater, measured it with fish floating, boiled the seawater dry, weighed the salt foam scraped off, and breathed a sigh of relief after some calculations. He tossed for a long time in fact, he built a concentration meter to measure seawater, although it is not accurate, but it is enough to measure the salt content of brine, of course, there are other functions, if you can obtain data from multiple sea areas, you can judge the approximate area where you are when you are lost, etc.

"Your Majesty, what's the use of this?" Wang De was busy for a long time and didn't know what His Majesty had gotten, so he asked curiously.

"There are many functions for this, including the construction of salt farms, which can be used to determine how much salt is in seawater and brine, so that we can know whether to enter the next process and when the seawater becomes salt." Zhao Yu tried his best to explain to him in plain language.

"Oh, Your Majesty is so powerful, you can turn sea water into salt with just such a small thing." Wang De carefully took one and looked at it carefully, only to see that the words A, B, C, D, E, G, and Xin were marked on the pole, and it was the data measured separately after adding salt many times, and he vaguely understood.

"Wang De, I want you to go to the salt supervisor as a prison guard, how about it?" Zhao Yu said suddenly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but...... But the small ones don't go! Wang De's eyes lit up when he heard this, everyone knew that the salt supervisor was in charge of the sale and exit of salt, which was a fat and oily errand, as long as he did a little trickery, it was very easy to get tens of thousands of yuan a year, but he thought about it and gave up this opportunity.

"Why? That's a good errand that many people can't ask for! Zhao Yu said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, because the little one knows that he is greedy, he will inevitably reach out and take the money when he goes. But all this money is only used by His Majesty to restore the country, if you take it and your conscience is disturbed, you will be cut off by Your Majesty's head if you don't get it, so I still don't go! Wang Deshi said.

"Hehe, you're self-aware!" Zhao Yu looked at Wang De and said with a smile, but in his heart, he secretly wondered if he was self-aware? Now that he has seized military power and meddled in political affairs, does he really have the ability to govern a place or a country well and win every battle, is he too greedy......
