Of course, for Guo Zhiyuan, a traverser, it is a miracle in Zeng Qisheng's opinion! When he followed Guo Zhiyuan to the constant temperature hatchery of the hatchery, and saw the fluffy and cute ducklings and geese that broke out of their shells without the hen hatching, his eyes suddenly widened again, and he said in amazement: "This is also your invention, right?" It's amazing! In this way, ordinary people can also live a life of eating meat, which is a great good governance! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan had already guessed that Zeng Qisheng would react like this, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's nothing more than simulating the environment of hens hatching chicks, so that young poultry cubs can break out of their shells by themselves, so that the reproduction rate of poultry can be greatly improved, in addition to eating poultry meat, the eggs laid every day are also very considerable......

Zeng Qisheng sighed: "Adults love the people like sons, which is really the blessing of my immigrants from Dongfan!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan smiled and didn't speak, beckoned the person in charge of the hatchery to come over and asked about the specific situation of egg hatching, and learned that the hatching rate of eggs is about 50% now, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity, if you can get the thermometer out, the hatching rate should be improved a lot!" ……”

Zeng Qisheng on the side exclaimed: "It only takes three to seven days for two eggs to hatch a young bird, which is also incredible, if the hen hatches naturally, it will take at least half a month!" By the way, my lord, what is a thermometer? ……”

Seeing that Zeng Qisheng was about to become a "curious baby", Guo Zhiyuan was secretly amused, and he didn't explain too much to Zeng Qisheng, anyway, the workshop has already found a way to burn glass, and it shouldn't take long to make a thermometer, and then you can popularize the knowledge of thermometers in the Gewu class of Dongfan Academy.

Coming out of the hatchery, Guo Zhiyuan took Zeng Qisheng to see the salt drying field, and the salt pans along the coastline could not be seen at a glance, which was called a spectacular, but Zeng Qisheng had extensive knowledge and had heard of the salt drying method, so he was not too surprised, and exclaimed: "My lord, this is the salt drying method of Shandong Haifeng, right?" With heaven and earth as the furnace and the beach as the field, it is really magnificent! And it saves manpower and fuel, which is indeed economical, but it is a pity that the sea salt obtained by the salt drying method has too many impurities, and it is not as fine as well salt and lake salt after all......"

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Zeng Qisheng, it seems that Zeng Qisheng and those who don't listen to the things outside the window and only read the sage book are really different, quite insightful, people in this era judge the quality of salt mainly based on the whiteness and fineness of the salt, the whiter and finer the better, so the dignitaries do not eat sea salt, they all like the well salt of Sichuan and the lake salt of Qinghai, and even the green salt used for gargling, as the standard of luxury life, only the poor people will buy coarse and black sea salt to eat.

Zeng Qisheng said that Shandong Haifeng is actually said that Shandong Province Wudi County, this place is an important sea salt production area in China, the local people have been salt workers for a living for generations, in the Ming Dynasty to avoid the Ming Dynasty Chengzu Zhu Di's secret, changed to Haifeng, the salt drying method has already appeared in Haifeng, but it was officially recorded in the book until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the famous scientist Song Yingxing mentioned the salt drying method in his "Tiangong Kaiwu", but it still did not attract the attention of the rulers. Zeng Qisheng can know the salt drying method, which shows that his knowledge has surpassed most people in this era.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan's salt drying method and Shandong Haifeng's salt drying method is actually very different, Shandong Haifeng's salt drying method is simply using the physical action of sunlight and sea breeze evaporation, so only coarse salt can be obtained, while Guo Zhiyuan's salt drying method is borrowed from the modern purification process, and additives such as barium chloride, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, dilute hydrochloric acid solution and other additives will be added to the salt brine for further purification, which is the chemical effect, which is naturally not understandable by people in this era.

This also belongs to the high-end secrets of Dongfan, Guo Zhiyuan has no intention of making it public to the world at present, so Guo Zhiyuan requires strict secrecy, and the salt workers involved in the final purification process are carefully selected, and the final purified salt fields are surrounded by fences, and a large number of soldiers are also sent to guard outside to prevent the leakage of secrets.

So when Guo Zhiyuan walked into the fence with Zeng Qisheng, Zeng Qisheng saw the snow-white salt mountains behind the fence, and suddenly exclaimed: "This... This is refined salt, the best refined salt! I've never seen such a snow-white and fine refined salt! Big... My lord, how did you do that?! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan has been accustomed to Zeng Qisheng's "fuss", pointing to the snow-white salt mountain and introduced: "The cost of the salt drying method used in Dongfan is less than half of the traditional salt boiling method, but the output is more than twice as high, and the salt quality obtained is also better than that of the salt boiling method, and the annual output of refined salt in the salt field can reach 500,000 stones, and the scale of the salt field will be doubled next year, and the annual output of refined salt can be 1 million stones......"

Zeng Qisheng finally recovered from the shock, held a handful of refined salt with trembling hands, looked at the snow-white crystal salt grains leaking down like fine sand from the cracks between his fingers, and exclaimed: "Qisheng knows today that he is really a frog at the bottom of the well. ……”

This trip followed Guo Zhiyuan to inspect Dongfan, Zeng Qisheng was an eye-opener, but also strengthened his heart of loyalty to Guo Zhiyuan, and Zeng Qisheng, the first batch of inland immigrants selected those talents were also shocked by the various novelties seen in Dongfan, but also by the thriving atmosphere here, quickly integrated into the new environment, in their respective positions to show their talents, the construction of Dongfan to a new high. Tide!

With the addition of these talents, the construction of Dongfan has become more orderly, and it has truly entered the track of rapid development, Guo Zhiyuan has also been able to free himself from heavy specific affairs, boldly delegate power, and hand over specific affairs to Zeng Qisheng and them to deal with, because there is still a very thorny problem waiting for him to deal with, that is, how to get along with the indigenous people of Dongfan.

Although Guo Zhiyuan occupied Dongfan, but in the final analysis, he can only be regarded as an outsider, those natives who have lived in Dongbo for hundreds of years are the real masters of Dongfan, it is conceivable that these Dongbo natives are definitely not welcome to Guo Zhiyuan and these outsiders, and it can even be said that they have a strong hostility, if they can't handle the relationship with these Dongbo natives, then Dongbo is far from being stable, and once a conflict breaks out, it is likely to bring variables to the current good development situation of Dongfan!
