After all, the development of Jingdong Lianglu is too complicated, and if it wants to develop, it must be adapted to local conditions. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

As the saying goes, "Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water", there is no doubt about this saying. The mountainous area in the middle of Jingdong Lianglu is prominent, among which the Taishan Mountains and the Yimeng Mountains are the mainstay, and the surrounding areas are low-lying and flat, forming a topographical trend with mountains and hills as the skeleton and plain basins staggered and interlaced in between. More than 50% of the plains here, nearly 30% of the mountains and hills, and most of the rest are depressions and lakes and marshes.

There are dozens of large, medium and small rivers such as Ji, Yi, Si, Wen, Bian, Wei and so on, and many of these rivers are interconnected and have excellent transportation convenience.

Since ancient Qi, Lu, Song and other princes have founded the country here, and this place is a rich place, so the construction of urban areas and roads has become extremely large-scale.

The coastline here is also very long, and there are several prefectures near the sea, such as Thanh, Vwei, Lai, Deng, and Mi, and maritime trade, shipbuilding, and fishing are very developed.

As for the rich minerals and specialties of the two roads, there are countless and too many to mention.

If we can make full use of all these things, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and establish a sound mechanism for production, processing, circulation, and trade according to the conditions of various localities, it would be useless to say that the economy cannot be developed.

The situation is different in different places, the development content and mode are also different, how to develop, the relevant details can only be communicated with you one by one, and in addition, he also focused on making some improvements from the perspective of technology and the overall situation, and even made them a pillar industry in various places.

Dengzhou's shipbuilding industry is already very developed, and its same status of Mingzhou shipyard was looted by Wu Jue, its status is more important, in this case, Gao Feng is ready to develop this place into the largest shipyard in the Great Song Dynasty, which is not only for official use, but also for civilian use, so that it can both promote fishery, and promote maritime trade.

Guangling Salt in Qingzhou and Laoshan Salt Boiling Farm in Laizhou are all important bases for the production of sea salt in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, at this time, most of the manufacture of sea salt is from the concoction, the method is "scraping the soil and pouring brine, taking the brine and burning the salt to boil salt", the scene when frying salt is very spectacular, thousands of pan frying salt equipment are erected along the coastline, a raging fire is ignited, and the water is steamed away, and then the crystallized sea salt comes out. It can be seen that this method consumes a lot of firewood and grass, and is labor-intensive, so it is not only wasteful, but also very costly.

In fact, at this time, the salt drying method had already appeared, but due to technical reasons, the effect was not good, so the frying salt was still the mainstream.

The simplest method of drying salt is to use the sun-dried beach sediment to pour seawater filtration to make high-salt brine, and then store the brine in the pool, evaporate and crystallize into salt under the sun.

Another method, also known as the salt pan method, is also the most commonly used salt drying method. This approach requires the creation of salt pans in areas with a mild climate and abundant sunlight. The salt pan is divided into two parts: an evaporation pond and a crystallization pond. First, the seawater is introduced into the evaporation pool, and when the water is evaporated to a certain extent by the sun, it is poured into the crystallization pool and continued to be exposed to the sun, and the seawater will become a saturated solution of salt, and the salt will gradually precipitate out after drying. The crystals obtained at this point are our common coarse salts. The remaining liquid is called mother liquor, from which a variety of chemical raw materials can be extracted.

Of course, such coarse salt still needs to be treated, which is not a problem for the peak that has been able to complete quite complex chemical tests, no wonder adding some barium chloride, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or hydrochloric acid, etc., from which impurities are filtered out, and pure sodium chloride is analyzed and extracted.

For the backward method of decoction and salt production, Gao Feng naturally wanted to change it, and he planned to build salt drying plants in several coastal states, which would play an important role in promoting the development of the salt industry in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

This method of drying salt, not only saves costs, saves manpower, but also produces a huge amount of production, for this reason, Gao Feng has written to the imperial court, preparing to transport salt from the east to the west, as a measure to suppress the Western Xia.

Western Xia is rich in green salt, good quality and low price, so when the relationship between Song and Xia was not friendly, the smuggling of green salt became a major tumor in the Great Song Dynasty. Not only the people smuggled, but also the army was smuggling in large quantities, and the main reason was that the price of salt in the Great Song Dynasty was much higher than that in Western Xia.

At this time, the Song and Jin signed an alliance to jointly attack Liao, and the Western Xia were in collusion with the Liao State, and they even sent troops to aid the Liao State, and the situation in the Song and Xia battlefields became more and more intense, and the conflict escalated continuously.

The armistice does not mean that it does not restrain the Western Xia, in addition to animal husbandry, even the green salt can be brought to the table, and this is also the main aspect of their money.

However, if the Great Song Dynasty transported a large amount of sea salt to the northwest, and at the same time implemented differentiated prices in the territory, so that the local salt price was lower than that of green salt, the road for smuggling green salt would be blocked at once, which would be fatal to the Western Xia.

The peak of this trick is actually a kind of price war, after he has this extremely low-cost salt making technology, it has been able to carry out, no wonder more transportation costs, even if it is a loss, as long as it can pull Xixia off the horse, it will also make a lot of money.

Of course, the policy towards Western Xia was decided by the imperial court, and Gao Feng only had to make suggestions, so it was not in his consideration whether to adopt it or not, and he would think more about the development of the two paths next.

Gao Feng's next eyes were on minerals.

The land of Qilu is rich in mineral resources, from a large aspect, there are coal mines in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, aluminum mines in Zizhou and Dengzhou and oil in Qingzhou, etc., these minerals are the resources that the peak urgently needs, even if they are dug out and not sold directly, the peak himself can digest them, and he naturally wants to take the opportunity to develop the minerals, which may have a huge role in promoting his development.

In addition, the possession of such a large area of land is indispensable for breeding and planting.

Fisheries at sea and in water, and meat farming on land need to be supported and promoted, which can not only enrich people's food baskets, but also bring huge economic benefits, so they are very popular.

In the same way, the planting of some cash crops and out-of-season effects is also indispensable, including cotton, apples, watermelons and other fresh varieties have been widely planted, which not only enriches people's lives, but also creates greater economic and social benefits.

In short, all kinds of resources that can be used are utilized, and if they can't be used, then Gaofeng will use their population resource advantages to open workshops and factories, including building bridges, paving roads, digging rivers, building embankments, etc., as long as no one is idle, as long as the government is fair, as long as the order is good, value can be created, people will be rich, society will be stable, and the country will be rich and strong.
