The snow-white salt pool, exposed to everyone after the fire had dissipated. Seeing this snow-white salt at this moment, everyone was completely stunned.

"This is really boiled from seawater, I didn't expect there to be so much salt in the sea!" It's just a little bit of seawater, and if the whole sea is boiled dry, how much salt will it take?

This is the thought of some people, who have not thought about how much firewood is needed to boil the whole ocean dry. And they are able to boil the sea with such means as a blazing fire

Obviously, it is impossible, they don't have the means like Lu Hanyang, they can only let the sunlight evaporate the seawater little by little, so as to obtain salt. But even if it's just that, even if there is only one salt pond in Wendeng County, it is enough to make Dengzhou another salt producing area in the world.

In this era of salt and iron monopoly, salt is a strategic material, as long as there is this thing, the imperial court will invest more resources in Dengzhou, and then the entire Dengzhou will develop rapidly.

Where the state apparatus wants to develop is definitely not a big question. Just like the reform and opening up during the Celestial Empire in later generations, Pengcheng has become a city comparable to the ancient capital of thousands of years in just thirty or forty years, and it is better in terms of economy.

However, this only solved part of the problem, although the people's food and clothing could be exchanged for salt and trade, or supplied by the imperial court. However, it is still not self-sufficient, and it is obvious that it is still unable to completely solve the problem of Dengzhou.

However, with salt as the support, then commerce will definitely be more prosperous, and commerce will develop, so it will not be difficult to build ships or something. As long as there are boats, then going out to sea to fish has become a predictable thing.

It can be said that all this is a chain, and if there is a development advantage, it will drive other links in the chain.

But just when Lu Hanyang felt that things were about the same, he found that there was another problem that he had neglected.

The two huge winches, the mechanism used to raise and land the dragonstone, had a problem. First of all, the dragon stone weighing four or five hundred tons, how many cows are needed to pull it

And how to control the speed when landing after pulling it up is also a problem, after all, such a big stone will definitely fall down directly when it is put down.

If you don't pay attention to it, you will directly throw the animal that is holding the winch away. So it needs to be summed up.

In the end, this problem was solved, and a bolt was directly made, and a big hole was opened in the winch, and when it was pulled up, it was plugged in here, and then the two locking dragon chains could be stuck, and when it was necessary to put it down, the bolt was pulled out directly.

When the latch is stuck, the animal is untied so that it will not be damaged when the dragon stone is closed.

Although it is not the best way to solve it, but it can't find a better way for the time being, Lu Hanyang is also a master who cares about killing and burying, and he threw this problem to Niu Deshui, and of course to Li Er's group of courtiers.

In addition to this, it is the first time that the sea salt has been boiled: the endless snow-white earth, covered with a thick layer on this salt pool. All of them are cemented together, and Lu Hanyang controls them very finely.

Salt can also deteriorate and even be burned under the cautery of the flame. So Lu Hanyang controlled, as long as the water boiled dry, then the flames in that place would move elsewhere, and in the end, the flames dissipated, leaving behind all the white salt pools, without a little burnt salt.

Pieces of salt are knocked down, then stacked on the shore little by little, and finally weighed.

This time, I directly got almost 10,000 stone of sea salt, and this output directly stunned everyone: there is so much salt in this seawater, 10,000 stone of salt, which is almost one-tenth of all the salt production of Datang.

There is no doubt that Datang lacks salt, and the soldiers in the army eat salt is vinegar cloth, and there is a taste that is not sour. It is also very difficult for people to eat a lot of salt, and it is basically coarse salt, like a piece of salt like a stone.

How many people have seen this white flower salt, and they are all crazy at this moment. All of a sudden, the salt fields in Dengzhou will be comparable to the salt of the entire Tang Dynasty in a year.

Thinking of this, Niu Deshui was even more excited, he was originally sent to Dengzhou to be the governor, and he was ready to be a poor official for a lifetime, but now this Dengzhou is probably the richest state and county in the entire Tang Dynasty in the future.

But all this has nothing to do with Lu Hanyang, and he once again began to set off to prepare for his trip to the Americas. This time he was confident enough to bring back enough grain seeds from the Americas.

Corn, potatoes, tomatoes, rubber trees, and many other plants endemic to the Americas are of great use to Datang.

These plants, which are thousands of miles away, will slowly spread to the Central Plains in the next thousands of years, and now Lu Hanyang wants to speed up this process and solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, there is also the visit to the Americas, the new continent that was isolated overseas, and would not be explored by a group of European prisoners until hundreds of years later, in the wilderness at this time, and then the primitive Indians.

Lu Hanyang is very curious about what kind of outsiders will be here, and what kind of pattern will be formed. Although I don't know what the relationship between those outsiders and myself is, and what laws they have.

But these people are obviously the same as themselves, from the future, why they came here is also what Lu Hanyang has always wanted to peep at, and he has been constantly preparing to explore everything behind it since he came to Datang.

Riding the red-crowned crane, he set off from Dengzhou again, this time he only needed to follow the coastline towards the north. To the north, you will enter the Bohai Bay, where you will bypass and will soon reach the Goguryeo border.

This is the henchman of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yuanjian led an army of 50,000, and the Liaodong Navy Division led by Zhang Liang were all here to guard against this peninsula country.

Although Goguryeo has only one peninsula, and even Silla is still on the peninsula, the two small states of Baekje are lagging behind.

But his aggressiveness is unusually strong, and although the whole country is poor, he has a strong desire for land. As long as they have accumulated some strength, they will expand directly to the west and north.

Originally, the Liaodong region was the ruling area of the Central Plains Dynasty, but the war in the last years of the former Sui Dynasty made Goguryeo directly expand a distance of 100 miles to the Tang Dynasty.

This range is no longer small, and Goguryeo has eaten away little by little, so that Datang has to raise his vigilance to the highest.

Now that Lu Hanyang is coming, what will he do to this country Lu Hanyang's strategy for treating foreign races has always been simple and rude: first beat you half to death, and then ask you if you are convinced, and if you are not convinced, you will be killed directly.
