The Salt and Iron Division is divided into the Salt Yard and the Iron Yard. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The salt institute is mainly responsible for collecting and sorting out how much coarse salt is produced by the salt wells of each salt field, and how much salt is diverted by each locality; The Iron Institute is mainly responsible for collecting and sorting out the situation of iron production in various places, as well as the research and development of some smelting technologies.

Although the Salt and Iron Division is in charge of salt and iron, it is not on the front line of salt and iron production, and after Zhao Wouji led Tang Zhou to see the Salt Courtyard, he was about to take Tang Zhou to the Iron Courtyard to have a look, but Tang Zhou waved his hand.

"Let's go to see it in the future, the reason why Ben Hou came to the Salt Iron Division is mainly because of the refined salt thing, the situation of the Salt Courtyard just now Ben Hou also saw it, I have a lot of salt production in the Tang Dynasty, but those that produce are coarse salt, and the methods used are very inefficient, if you want to improve efficiency and produce refined salt, you must carry out reforms, so that Ben Hou will go back and write some reform plans, and after the Holy Lord agrees, he will distribute them to various places."

Zao Wou-Ki never thought that Tang Zhou had made such a decision when he first arrived, which made him understand that Tang Zhou was a real person who did things, and if he slapped people like before, he was afraid that he would not be able to get any benefits.

After understanding this, Zao Wou-Ki immediately responded: "The subordinate will receive the order." ”

Tang Zhou nodded, and then left the Salt and Iron Division, in fact, like making refined salt, he really didn't have to do it himself, as long as he told those who often produced salt, they would soon be able to figure it out, which was much stronger than him, a halfway monk.

However, Li Shimin asked him to be in charge of the salt and iron division, he had to make an appearance, at this time the method of producing coarse salt was still too old, not to mention the efficiency, the output was not high, he went back to find a way to greatly increase the output of coarse salt.

After the coarse salt is produced, he can use his previous method to produce refined salt, which is also a way to reduce costs.

Tang Zhou didn't go again after going to the Salt and Iron Division once, he either stayed at home to write the reform plan, or went to find Princess Danyang, in addition to thinking about her, there were many reform plans, and he felt that it was better to let Princess Danyang check it, so as not to touch the interests of some people and be opposed.

Of course, when the two were talking about this, Tang Zhou had to cook some delicacies for Princess Danyang to eat, and in this hot summer, ham was naturally indispensable.

And just when Tang Zhou was living comfortably like this, a border rush was hurriedly sent into the palace.

After the urgent report was sent to the palace, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and other civil and military generals were also recruited into the imperial study.

After Li Shimin showed the emergency report to the eldest grandson Wuji and others, he snorted coldly: "Useless, it's really useless, it's in vain that Fei Zhen trusts Zhang Shigui so much, and puts the heavy task of crusading against Xue Yantuo into his hands, I never thought that he would lose the battle as soon as he arrived in Xue Yantuo, hateful, hateful." ”

Li Shimin was very angry, although victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but the Tang Dynasty has never lost much in wars with neighboring countries over the years, and now that Zhang Shigui has lost the battle against Xue Yantuo, his morale has been lowered, how can he not be angry?

Li Shimin said this, but the eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly, and said: "Shengshang, it can be seen from this urgent report that the failure of our army is not that our generals are not good at fighting, but in fighting with Xue Yantuo at the beginning of our army, and they can't adapt to their nomadic style of play, they always suddenly attack us when our army is preparing to cook, since our army has started the stove, they must be hungry, and at this time they fight with the enemy, how can they win a big battle?" ”

Fighting a war is a very physically demanding thing, if you don't eat enough to fight with others, it is no different from going to death, the Tang army has traveled a long distance to go deep into Xue Yantuo, and there is some trouble in the supply of grain and grass, and it is definitely not as convenient as Xue Yantuo.

And Xue Yantuo saw this, and launched an attack on the Tang army while they were eating.

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, Li Ji touched his beard and said: "The eldest grandson's analysis is reasonable, but it is impossible for my Tang soldiers not to eat, and in this hot summer, the cooked food is easy to spoil, and it is impossible for them to save time to deal with the enemy's sudden attack." ”

After Li Ji finished speaking, everyone stared at their eyebrows, and they couldn't find a solution for a while.

"If only there was food that could last for many days."

I don't know who said this, and everyone immediately raised their heads, but then, they all sighed again.

"That's food that lasts that long."

"yes, and the food has been sitting for a long time, is it still delicious?"

These people are all people of noble status, and they don't eat leftovers at all, let alone leave food for several days.

But just when everyone sighed like this, Cheng Yanjin, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.

"I have food that can last for many days."

After saying such a sentence, Cheng Biting Jin stopped, and at this time everyone looked at him with a look of anticipation, it can be seen that Cheng Biting Jin didn't say anything, and everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes again, when is this, this Cheng Biting Jin still has the heart to sell off.

"I said Lu Guogong, if you have any way, just say it, don't talk here." Wei Chigong couldn't stand it, so he almost slapped it, Cheng bit Jin and smiled, and said: "Shengshang, I can talk about this food for Lao Cheng, but if I win the battle, this credit will be my share of Lao Cheng." ”

Cheng Biting Jin's ability is not very big, a large part of his status today is that he likes to grab credit very much, and with credit, even if he is not very capable, he can be knighted.

At this time, his old mistake was repeated.

Li Shimin's brows condensed slightly, but he also knew about Cheng Yanjin, so he didn't say anything else, and said: "Okay, if you can solve this problem, I will reward you again, say, what can you do?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin said: "Shengshang, the Tang family kid has invented a thing called ham, which can be kept for a long time without spoiling, and it is all cooked, and it can be eaten with a knife, if I have this thing in the Tang Army, I don't have to waste time making a fire to cook in the future, and it will not be easy for the enemy to carry out a sneak attack on us." ”

Cheng Yanjin was very proud after speaking, but everyone was shocked, they thought that Cheng Yanjin was talking about his own method, but they never thought that it was Tang Zhou's newly invented food.

They secretly gritted their teeth, they were very jealous in their hearts, this credit belonged to Tang Zhou, but they were given some of it by Cheng Biting Jin, a shameless person, they all regretted it, Tang Zhou had been back for so long, why didn't they go to him to contact him and taste his newly made food?

Otherwise, they would be the ones who are in the limelight today.

And when everyone was so envious, jealous and hateful, Li Shimin's heart was also shocked, this thing that was difficult to solve by the ministers in the house was solved by Tang Zhou, a kid, he was simply the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty.

"Come here, pass on my order, and quickly announce Tang Zhou's entry into the palace."

A eunuch hurriedly ran down, Cheng Biting Jin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Shengshang, this credit is my old Cheng's ......"

"Don't worry, I will never break my word."
