At the beginning of April, Ji Kang and his mother Ji Zhao, accompanied by Gao Yao, the county commander of Qishi County, came to Fuzhou Bay. Looking at the sea in the distance, there was a burst of waves, Ji Kang and his mother Ji Zhao, as well as Shi Kang, Qingzhu Qingmei, etc., all felt relaxed and happy.

"Kochi Prefecture, do we have craftsmen here who can make boats? Can I go to sea? ”

"Tell Childe, we have it here, but most of the boats we make are small boats, and they are not far from the sea."

Gao Yao, the magistrate, hurriedly replied.

Ji Kang pointed to the sea in front of him and said to Gao Yao: "Look at this sea, it is a treasure land. I heard that in the southernmost part of your county, there is a good harbor one day, and it does not freeze in all seasons, which is the treasure land of God-given county! You then gather these ship-making craftsmen, and I will be useful afterwards. ”

"No. Subordinates obeyed. ”

For Ji Kang, who had visited the salt works in this place in his previous life and had a little impression of the operation of the salt making process and site requirements, he was still a little sure of how to build an open-air salt factory. After pondering, Ji Kang quickly drew the drawings of the salt field according to the current terrain.

The main consideration was the location of the construction, ensuring that there was enough seawater to fill the reservoir at high tide and that the salt flats themselves could not be affected by tides or storms.

Ji Kang is very grateful for the major he studied in his previous life, mechanical design and manufacturing, which was able to transform many modern crafts in his previous life. But there are still many difficulties in building this open-air salt farm, which seemed simple in the previous life.

With Ji Kang to Qishi County, there is also a car of cement produced in Anshan Cement Factory. Although it did not reach the level of modern craftsmanship in the previous life, the pool for the construction of the salt pan was sufficient.

What evaporation pool, regulating plate, filter plate, crystallization pool and other modern terms in the previous life are actually nothing more than some large and small cement pools and cement tables.

For this reason, Ji Kang also built an earthen kiln near the salt field in Yushi County and began to make bricks. Combined with the professional knowledge in his mind, and trying to recall the layout and operation process of the rural brick factory in his previous life, he finally designed the standard mold in his memory, and drew the drawings of the earthen kiln for firing the bricks, which completely improved the brick-making process of Yan Guo at this time.

When I saw the standard blue and red bricks in Ji Kang's impression fired. Gao Yao, the fat county commander of Yushi County, burst into tears, stood in front of the fired bricks, and said to Ji Kang:

"Your Majesty, this is the best material for building cities and houses! It's much more standard and durable than the bricks fired today! And it's much easier and easier! ”

With brick and cement, the salt works began to be built on a large scale. First, sand and gravel were used to block the seawater on the seashore, and then cement ponds and cement platforms such as reservoirs, evaporation ponds, regulating ponds, brine ponds, and crystallization ponds were built with bricks and cement.

At the same time, carpenters built rows of treadmills along the reservoir and many ponds to extract seawater. When he saw the treadmill, Gao Yao went crazy again, ignoring Shi Kang's contemptuous expression, and said to Ji Kang:

"Your Majesty, with this thing, many of my fields can be watered! How much more grain will this produce! ”

After many cement pools were built, under Ji Kang's "start" order.

Many people began to get busy, pushing away the sand and gravel blocking the seawater, allowing the seawater to enter the reservoir; When the water in the reservoir was full, the people standing on the bicycles were desperately busy stepping on it, sending the seawater through the ditch to the evaporation pond. Then the seawater in the evaporation pond is sent to the regulating pond one by one, and then sent to the brine pond by the regulating pond; After the seawater is clarified in the brine pond, it is finally sent to the crystallization pond.

What Ji Kang didn't expect was that after a day of exposure, when the coarse salt grains condensed in the crystallization pool. The people in the entire salt field seemed to be crazy, and everyone, including Gao Yao, ran into the crystallization pool, and even Shi Kang next to him made Ji Kang see his mouth that he hadn't opened for a long time again.

looked at the people who ran into the salt pool, including Gao Yao, who didn't care about the salt, stuffed a handful of salt into his mouth, jumped and shouted. Ji Kang was not proud, he just felt sad, and let the people live a beautiful life like in their previous life, there is a long way to go!

Looking at Gao Yao, who was still crazy, Ji Kang was a little worried, and said to Shi Dang:

"Send someone to let them all out, don't poison them."

When the salt in the crystallization pond is carried out of the crystallization pond by people basket by basket. Gao Yao and the people, who still had tears on their faces, couldn't help but bow down to the little monarch who was looking at them, and the voice of the monarch and the prince and the prince was deafening.

After the salt farm was built, Ji Kang took Shi Kang and Gao Yao, the county commander of the Yu family, and rushed to Lushun in Ji Kang's previous life, where there were shipbuilders that Ji Kang asked Gao Yao to find.

In the world that Ji Kang came to, the shipbuilding industry already exists. According to the provisions of the "Zhou Li" of the Yan Kingdom: the Son of Heaven used a boat to build a pontoon bridge, the princes connected four boats in parallel, the doctor and the two boats, the scholars took a single boat, and the people took a raft. It can be seen that the shipbuilding industry at this time already has a certain foundation, and Ji Kang wants to go further on this basis at this time.

At this time, Gao Yao was introducing Ji Kang, the old man who knelt down in front of Ji Kang with an old face: "Son, this old man's name is Kang Qi, and his ancestors are all shipbuilders." According to the older generation, his ancestors built a boat with sails and traveled back and forth to the Kei dynasty ever since. ”

Ji Kang stepped forward to help up the kneeling Kang Qi and said, "Old man, please get up quickly." Is what Gao Xianling said just now true? ”

Kang Qi hurriedly said: "Hui Gongzi, my ancestor did build such a big ship. ”

"Old man, can you make it?"

"Childe, the villain is ashamed, the ancestor's shipbuilding skills have been lost, but ...... But the ancestors left a shipbuilding silk silk is still there, and the villain can be dedicated to the son. ”

The words of the old man Kang Qi made Ji Kang overjoyed.

The old man brought a box full of shipbuilding silk. Ji Kang looked at it carefully a few times, and said to Kang Qi beside him: "Old man, according to this drawing, can you build this big ship that can carry five hundred people?" ”

"Childe, the villain can build this ship, but it will cost craftsmen and countless money."

"Okay, old man, you build one according to this plan first, summarize your experience first, and the government will send someone to assist you. The craftsmen and money you need will be borne by the government. When it is finished, I will have a great reward. ”

After Ji Kang finished speaking to Kang Qi, he turned to Gao Yao, the commander of the county of Qishi, and said: "The workshop built here, I call it a shipyard, and the master Kang Qi is in charge. ”

"No."

Ji Kang pondered for a moment and said to Gao Yao and Kang Qi: "In the future, this place will be called Lushun!" ”

Gao Yao hurriedly complimented: "Childe is talented. The word "brigade" represents a new starting point and a new beginning; The word "shun" means that everything we are engaged in now is much smoother. ”

Shi Dang next to him pouted and did not make a sound.

At this time, the spring sowing in Liao had long been over, and because the reclamation of fields was promoted under the organization of the government, the spring sowing area had increased several times. It can be expected that the autumn grain will have the best harvest in the history of Liaodi.

This year, new types of ploughs were adopted, and the government organized the construction of reservoirs and canals, so that more fields could be irrigated, and many fields that used to be turned into fertile fields. Although the government's taxes and grain were reduced by 10%, due to the recruitment of Huyi and displaced people in the winter in Liao, and the cultivation of wasteland and land, the population and fields were also more than in the past.

In addition, Liaodi, this year, large-scale promotion of manure cultivation technology per acre. Thinking of the autumn harvest at the end of September, officials in Liaodi were anxious to build new granaries. After the spring sowing, the people were busy using manure to breed acres. And Ji Kang is also preparing to return to Anshan from Yushi County.

The cars carrying cement from Anshan to Yushi were loaded with salt from Lushi to Anshan. At the end of May, Ji Kang and his mother returned to Anshan with many carts full of salt, causing another sensation among the people.

And Jun Xiangju Xin, who got the news, and Su Qing, a doctor from the Ministry of Commerce, rushed to Anshan as quickly as possible, and when they saw the pile of salt in the newly built warehouse in Xinchang, the two of them burst into tears. The old man drama Xin even paid homage to Ji Kang with the gift of throwing himself to the ground:

"Childe, from now on, I have no worries!"
