Chapter 744: The Salt Drying Field

Yan Jidao also ate crabs in Bianjing back then: "When my father was still alive, he also received crabs rewarded by the palace, and I heard that it was a consistent one. When I was a child, this incident left a deep impression on me. ”

Su You said: "Exactly, but in Taihu Lake, 'frost crabs don't care about the money that day', the price is cheap, such as white shrimp and the like, you can get a handful of a penny, and a pound is only five wen in total." ”

"This is the importance of commodity circulation, white shrimp can be processed into dried shrimp, crabs can be processed into crab roe, anchovies can be processed into canned food, one can allow more people in the Great Song Dynasty to taste the deliciousness of this side, and the other can increase the income of local people."

Yan bowed down from the table a few times: "I have always heard a lot of rumors, and I always think that in today's world, there will be no ancient sages." ”

"The so-called benevolent person is not cowardly; The so-called good ones are not close to hypocrisy; The so-called wise man is just a traitor. Taught today. ”

Su You also hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "Mr. Xiaoshan is serious, keep this vigilance and suspicion, what I want to ask you to do next, Su You will rest assured." ”

Zheng Xia apologized at this time: "It was Zheng Xia who dragged Ming Gong down, and he was ashamed." ”

Su You beckoned a few people to re-seated: "Changguo is going to go, there is a large seafood base over there, I will definitely go to investigate." When the time comes, Mr. Jiefu and Mr. Koyama will walk together, even if I have completed the task for the imperial court, will I really let Mr. on the island? ”

"Liangzhejiang Road should follow the example of the "Times" in Beijing and hold the "Chaobao", but unlike the "Times", which sings the praises of virtue at length, Su You wants to use the talents of the two gentlemen to make a white-clothed imperial history, supervise the officials of the Liangzhejiang Road, and speak out with the people!"

"Huh?" Zheng Xia never thought that Su You would give him such an important task.

Su You said: "Mr. Xiaoshan said just now, benevolence is close to cowardice, kindness is close to hypocrisy, and wisdom is close to treachery. The school of science believes that man himself is a contradiction, benevolence and cowardice, goodness and falsehood, wisdom and treachery, which always run through people's hearts. ”

"Pengsheng hemp, don't help yourself. Su You asked himself if he was not perfect, and he had to ask the two gentlemen to supervise and support me, so that I could maintain a benevolent heart. ”

Zheng Xia was extremely moved in his heart, he didn't expect Su You to go to work because of him, not only did he not resent, but also entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility: "Zheng Xia went to the soup to fight the fire, and he also wanted to help Ming Gong to achieve this great event!" ”

"No way!" But it was Yan who stopped him a few times.

Zheng Xia turned his head: "Shuyuan!" It is important to know that the husband is not greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Yan Jio's eyes were blazing: "You have already affected Mingrun once, do you want to involve him a second time?!" ”

Zheng Xia reacted at this time, if there is any bombshell in the "Chaobao" in the future, Su You, as the host of this matter, will definitely have to eat again: "This ......"

Yan Jidao said: "So we have to do the report ourselves, and it has nothing to do with Ming Gong." ”

After speaking, he handed over to Su You: "When my father was alive, his reputation was quite good, and now there are still a lot of old ones in the court, I will go to make a fortune for my husband, this newspaper, we will do it independently!" ”

Su You couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That's not good, if it's only you who speak, there is no place for me to be reasonable." ”

Cai Jing suggested: "Then run another one, two newspapers on Liangzhejiang Road, one official and one private." ”

Su You's eyes lit up: "Makes sense...... That's it, since Mr. Xiaoshan said that there is a way to raise funds, I will let Qin Shaoyou show his strength and fight with the two of them. ”

Zheng Xia arched his hand: "Shanmo Weiyunjun, Ming Gong has to let his subordinates show mercy......"

Dasu went to Mizhou, which also suffered from a severe drought this year, and now Jiaoxi can be described as a crop failure, thieves everywhere, and civil disputes are continuous......

Even Su Shi himself, together with his subordinate Liu Tingshi, went to the deserted vegetable garden on the edge of the city to dig wild vegetables, and only ate some wild vegetables such as wolfberry chrysanthemums every day to satisfy his hunger. also wrote two articles, "Qi Ju Fu" and "Hou Qi Ju Fu".

The article is beautiful, but it can't hide the difficulties - "Life is like bending and stretching elbows." Who is poor and what is rich? What is beautiful and what is ugly? or the chaff core and the gourd, or the sorghum flesh and the lean ...... We take wolfberry as food and chrysanthemum as glutinous. Spring seedlings, summer leaves, autumn flowers and winter roots, almost the longevity of the West River and the south of the sun. ”

Although the days are hard, there is joy in the suffering. Until one time when digging wild vegetables along the root of the city wall, I suddenly found an abandoned baby wrapped in a package next to a clump of wolfberries.

After returning to the government with the baby in his arms, he immediately ordered the officials of the state capital to go to the field to pick up the abandoned baby, and he himself also "spilled tears and went through the city to pick up the abandoned child".

In just a few days, nearly 40 abandoned babies were adopted in the state capital, and Su Shi arranged for these abandoned babies to be raised in various families, and the government paid them monthly maintenance.

At the same time, the warehouse was opened to release grain, and a part of the rations of the state officials were evened out to relieve the urgent needs of the hungry people who ran out of food;

In the letter to the central government, he truthfully reflected the local disaster situation, and asked the imperial court to appoint officials to inspect, release taxes, or give subsidies.

As for dealing with bandits, the method of "fighting thieves with thieves" was adopted, and a large group of bandits was recruited, and then this group of bandits was used to eliminate the rest!

Now that the situation has finally stabilized, when Qin Guan's "Man Tingfang, Mountain Wipe Weiyun" came out, this baby was still in the mood to write a letter to praise it, saying that Qin Guan was not named, but called him Mountain Wipe Weiyunjun.

Qin Guan's literary name spread all at once.

Yan Jidao is also a saint in the altar of words, so he is naturally a little unconvinced: "Call him!" ”

Su You arched his hand: "I can't be provoked, a'The lights are already dusk." 'A' remembers that it is easy to dispel the soul from where it has come. 'It's not going to be messed with...... I'm still in Hangzhou to sit and watch you toss. ”

Zheng Xia smiled bitterly: "It's better to toss less, Wang Xianggong sang a song 'The spring breeze is on the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me.'" He came to a'The spring breeze is a guest in the world, how long will it be prosperous?' 'To show that you are burdened by me, Zheng Xia is irrefutable; But to say that he was also affected by me, I really felt a little wronged. ”

Yan Jidao said: "Obviously, my poem is in front, but it is the villains of the New Party who cleverly set up a name to frame people!" ”

But in a blink of an eye, he also smiled: "But without this destruction, I can't taste the freshest and most beautiful crab roe in the world, it's worth it!" ”

Several people laughed.

In October, after the second crop of rice was harvested, Liangzhejiang Road finally embarked on the fast track of development.

Su You, Zheng Xiayan and others, led by He Zhizhong and Chao Buzhi, began to inspect the salt business.

The north and south of Hangzhou Bay, on one side is Xiuzhou, on the other side is Yuezhou, Xiuzhou from the east of Haiyan, all are salt farms.

After the Luli Salt Farm was renovated and Haoqiang was hit hard, none of the Haoqiang dared to jump in all the salt farms in Xiuzhou.

were obediently included in the scope of rectification.

In just two months, Luli has undergone earth-shaking changes, and this place has been built into a model project for the implementation of the salt drying method by Suyou.

The first step of the salt drying method is to absorb the tide.

With cement, it is no longer difficult to build huge tidal ponds and salt ponds at all levels.

Every time the tide rises, the seaside tide pond is filled, and when the tide goes down, there is enough seawater available to do so.

Huge stone pillars are built in the tidal pool, and between the stone pillars are equidistant spiral wind lifters, which lift the seawater to a height of several meters and pour it into the first salt pan.

After a day of evaporation in the first salt pan, the seawater is introduced into the adjacent brine pond and then introduced into the second salt pan with the same water lift.

The area of the salt pond is super large, and the cement is not used to cover the entire salt pond, the main ground is still mud, and the cement is only used to repair the embankment and the brine pond.

The salinity of seawater is called salinity, and the salinity of fresh seawater is three degrees, which means that one hundred catties of seawater can produce three catties of salt.

The brine is raised layer by layer, and by the tenth day, the water in the salt field is close to saturation, and the salinity reaches 20 degrees, that is, 100 catties of brine, and 20 catties of salt can be produced, and the brine is considered "cooked" at this time.
