There is no agriculture and instability, so the large block of agriculture is the first thing to be handled by Gao Pragmatic this time.

Corn is best understood, and people will not be able to eat it without horses in the future; It is also easy to say that the silkworm can improve the economic diversity of Liaodong and create a new large source of wealth at the same time.

As for the fishing industry, why is it so valued by Gao Shishi? It's not just a matter of catch, but more importantly, Gao hopes to cultivate a group of fishermen in the north who are familiar with the sea, because fishermen themselves are the best source of seafarers.

The highly pragmatic Nanyang Fleet is not afraid of not being able to find seafarers, whether it is Liangguang or Fujian, Zhejiang, there are a large number of people willing to go to sea, but in the north, the problem is much more serious.

The south ships and the north horses, the southerners are rarely afraid of the ship, and there are many people in the north, the rivers, lakes and seas have a respectful attitude, originally this is just the environmental impact of the mentality is different, it is an indifferent thing, but in the era of discovery, high pragmatism and vigorously operate sea trade, this is so-called.

Hebei, Shandong and other places, the natural conditions are relatively good, and the geographical location is not easy to suffer from military disasters, and it is more troublesome to train a large number of fishermen and seafarers there, but it is much more convenient in Liaodong, so it is highly pragmatic to engage in fishery, in fact, the first thing to value is this.

Of course, in addition, the catch is also very useful, after all, the protein of the fish is quite rich, which is very helpful for improving the physical fitness of the people and guards in southern Liaoning, but the use of the catch is a matter that needs to be dealt with well.

Winter is easier to do, Gao pragmatic before reading miscellaneous books, learned a means, is to make surimi first, and then seal and freeze up, so as to avoid too fast rot and deterioration, although this year can not make a vacuum can, but in the winter of Liaodong, it can still guarantee a few months of shelf life.

The trouble is summer, when food storage is difficult, especially for fish, and there is only one surest way to preserve it: marinate and dry it.

It is good to say that the sunshine in southern Liaoning is abundant, but there is a big problem with pickling: it requires a lot of salt, and salt is very expensive.

Therefore, this involves a plan of high pragmatism in the "industry" area.

This plan, as mentioned earlier, is to open a salt farm.

Previously, Gao Pragmatic even made it clear that Zhu Yijun would participate in the shares, and Zhu Yijun's only prerequisite was that it could not affect the salt sales of the existing salt farm, and Gao Pragmatic agreed.

At that time, Gao's pragmatic idea was mainly to use the salt produced by the new Liaoning South Salt Farm for export, and there was no problem with this now, and it could be done as planned, but after he planned to come to Liaoning, he thought about it carefully and found that there were other uses.

For example, salted fish – not just fish, but all kinds of seafood – can do three things in one fell swoop:

First, seafood will not be wasted and can be stored, whether it is used as military rations or distributed to ordinary people to tide over famine in case of famine.

Second, under the condition that the export sales channels have not been fully opened, it will not lead to the large-scale hoarding of salt in southern Liaoning. After all, although salt basically has no expiration date, hoarding a large amount of salt also requires management costs, including warehouses, personnel and other aspects, so it doesn't matter if you hoard a small amount, but hoarding a large amount is a waste of money.

Third, with a large amount of salt production here, Gao Pragmatic will have more confidence when he talks to some people in the south. Nowadays, a big reason why some people in the south still dare to resist Jinghua's entry openly and secretly is that they have a great advantage in the salt industry.

Changlu Salt Farm is strong, but the salt production in the north in this era is still not comparable with the south, not to mention that Changlu Salt Farm is the industry of his uncle's family after all.

Therefore, it is very important to master a super-large salt farm.

Liaodong, or Liaonan, has this prerequisite. Liaodong Bay Salt Farm, which is one of the four major salt farms of the Red Dynasty in later generations, especially Yingkou Salt Farm, is known as the "Hundred Miles Silver Beach" reputation.

The name Yingkou appeared very late in the original history, but now Gao Pragmatic has made it appear in advance - the tall God of Wealth built Yingkou Port here, and the imperial court didn't care why he named it like this, anyway, it was directly adopted in various relevant official documents.

However, this place has a long history of engaging in the salt industry, with a history of almost 2,000 years: the Han Dynasty implemented the policy of monopolizing salt and iron by the state, and Yingkou became the production and monopoly center of sea salt in Liaodong at that time.

At that time, the court of the Han Dynasty set up a salt and iron official stationed in Pingguo (the ruins of Hancheng in the hot spring village of Xiongyue Town). This was the only institution set up by the central government in the Han Dynasty in charge of salt and iron in the northeast, when Yingkou sea salt production reached a new historical high.

The development since then will not be described in detail, in short, until the Ming Dynasty, Yingkou's sea salt production is very famous.

The Ming Dynasty court a long time ago, forced Liaodong 25 Wei and two free prefectures to produce salt (the amount of salt produced by the imperial court is limited), this system is obviously a bit stupid, so some Weizhou, which is not on the seaside, has opened a hundred salt farms in the Yingkou area, and the soldiers produce sea salt.

And Gaizhouwei itself is also the center of sea salt production in Liaodong (Yingkou belongs to Gaizhouwei), theoretically - the key point, is theoretically - the annual production of more than 2 million catties of salt, accounting for 58.3% of the total output of Liaodong.

In the early years, the Ming Liaodong Salt Farm was even as famous as the Lianghuai Salt Farm, and the salt produced was transferred by the merchants to various places for marketing, and the military salaries of Liaodong were supplemented to a certain extent by the merchants "transporting millet and leading it". At that time, there were three "passes" in the Yingkou area, namely Liangfangbao Pass, which was located in the south of Yingkou City in the later generations; Lianyun Island Pass, the seat of governance is in the west of Gaizhou City in the later generations; Shimen Pass, the seat of governance in the later Gaizhou City East Shimen Reservoir site. These three gates are all related to the transportation of sea salt.

Since it is "theoretical" and "early", it means that it is all in the past.

Why? Isn't that a good system? According to local conditions, you can eat salt by the sea.

There is no problem with the idea, the problem lies in the ownership of these salt farms - their superior is the Wei Institute, and the next level is the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, but the miraculous thing is that at the central level, it is under the management of the Shandong Qing Officials of the Ministry of Households.

Oh, it's over. [I omitted it, because this question can't be explained in 10,000 words, so interested friends should find a paper or monograph to read on their own.] ]

In short, there are a lot of confused accounts involved, such as the number of households, the difficulty of transportation, the low price of salt, the escape of salt, etc., and the result is that the salt production is gradually decreasing, which was originally intended to supply and feed the health center with salt production, and finally ...... Look at what the guards in Liaodong have become, and you will know how much this system has been destroyed.

Zhu Yijun knew something about this, so he agreed to Gao Shishi's plan to open a new salt farm in Liaodong, and even expressed his support for jumping out of the trap of the guard to build a commercial salt factory.

As for saying that the emperor personally went out to participate in the shares, Zhu Yijun said that he had no psychological burden - when the court needed money, didn't I have to pay from the inside? Why can you be a courtier and do business, but I can't be the emperor? When the court wanted to use the money, I didn't see you donating money!

As for being scolded, Zhu Yijun is also mentally prepared, and in fact, if he really wants to be scolded, he may be scolded more than him.

But on this issue, Gao Pragmatic is not afraid of being scolded - I really learn the sect, and it is a tradition to manage money for the country, and I wrote this in the champion policy theory back then, and it is useless if you are not convinced. Besides, after the completion of this salt farm, there are many benefits, and it is not just as simple as me and the emperor making money, it can even be said that I and the emperor have made some money in it, and it is just a little income incidentally, who is the real benefit, you use your brains to think about it.

----------

It's over, the industrial part is already "middle" with only a salt farm, and there is still the rest of the part, and even the merchants and soldiers have not yet written, it seems that the upper, middle and lower are not enough......
