18. The benefits of fishing salt II
Sun Ce originally planned to hand over the salt purification method to the stove household, but after careful consideration, he gave up.
If the current level of production is maintained, the purified refined salt will bring great benefits. But if the purification method is popularized, the value of refined salt will be reduced, and the benefits that Sun Ce will get will be reduced, which is not what he wants to see.
As for substantially improving the living standards of the people.
I'm sorry, Sun Ce doesn't think he's God, his current task is to set the Jiangdong and then dominate the world.
And to improve the living standards of the common people, that is after reunification.
In Sun Ce's view, only he can turn the tide and save the Han people from the disaster a hundred years later.
Whoever they are, they have historical limitations. And only you can see the crisis of the Han people!
Returning to the county seat, Sun Ce appointed Haiyan County Ling Cui Peng to concurrently serve as the chief of the salt department, in charge of salt affairs. This made Cui Peng ecstatic, after so many years, he finally waited for the lord who appreciated him.
Subsequently, Sun Ce tested the method of purifying coarse salt into refined salt in front of Cui Peng.
The method is actually very simple, it is nothing more than two steps: filtration and distillation.
Sun Ce first poured the coarse salt into a jar of clean water until the water could no longer dissolve the coarse salt, that is, the brine reached a saturation level.
Then, Sun Ce wrapped the mouth of the jar with white burlap, poured the salt water in the jar into another iron pot, and then untied the white burlap, only to see that it was full of impurities of various colors that had been filtered down.
Finally, Sun Ce distilled the salted water filtered in the iron pot as if it were boiling salt, and finally what was left in the iron pot was the whiter refined salt.
Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Cui Peng, Hengjie, Lu Su and Gu Yong next to him, they were all surprised and couldn't close their mouths.
Sun Ce coughed lightly, and the four of them reacted, their eyes were completely different when they looked at Sun Ce, it was a deep amazement and admiration.
Sun Ce also needed to consider the matter of joining the Guild Ji to attack Wang Lang, so it was naturally impossible to stay in Haiyan County for long.
The night before leaving Haiyan County, Sun Ce asked Cui Peng for a face-to-face lecture and made a few requests.
First of all, all the coarse salt produced by the stove was sold to the salt chief Shifu, which was purchased by the government, except for his own consumption.
Secondly, the output of refined salt should be controlled within a certain range, and the production of refined salt should be guaranteed to maximize profits.
Third, the government sold salt to merchants, who sold it, but the trade had to be done with grain.
Fourth, the Salt Chief Shifu set up a salt bureau to sell salt in all the territories under the jurisdiction of the rebel general, so as to control the price of salt within a reasonable range.
Regarding Sun Ce's four-point requirements, Cui Peng naturally said yes again and again.
After leaving Haiyan County, Sun Ce did not return directly to Wu County.
Wu County is located in the northwest direction of Haiyan County, while Sun Ce's direction of progress at this time is northeast.
It is the estuary of Songjiang, the largest metropolis in China in later generations, and the Songjiang District of Shanghai is here.
Wu Wang Lu once set up Changshui County here, and at this time, Sun Ce was leading everyone, not far from the hometown of Changshui County.
The rolling river flows into the sea endlessly, Sun Ce is riding on a horse, facing the sea breeze, and the red daze that moves with the wind is extremely bright.
Sun Ce remembered his previous life, and spent some days in Shanghai.
After being silent for a long time, Sun Ce smiled.
If it comes, it will be safe, this is the attitude he should have towards life.
Sun Ce slowly jumped off the horse, walked on the beach, pointed to the sea, and said to the four people behind him: "Look, there is endless wealth in this sea! ”
From afar, the endless sea and blue sky are in the sky. On the clear sea, there is not the slightest pollution, and there are one or two fishing boats not far away, but they are floating near the sea, and they dare not go further.
Such a beautiful picture, blue sea, blue sky, clear water, clean sand, and warm sunshine. Such a place, if in the Hereafter, is bound to be a resort.
This beach stretches for dozens of miles, and many places have undulating stones, which look extremely beautiful under the washing of the sea. Some are like demons and monsters, and some are like birds and beasts.
Some of the large rocks on the seashore have been washed into the hollow by the sea, and the huge waves rush in, making a roaring sound and constantly glowing with white foam.
Sun Ce walked around the seashore with the Jiuqu Overlord Gun in his hand. Hengjie, Lu Su and the others were a little helpless, but they had to follow.
Sun Ce was actually looking for fish.
As a former ace agent, Sun Ce naturally underwent special training for survival on a desert island. A person thrown on a desert island, not even a dagger, three months, can survive even if it passes. If you can't survive, there will naturally be a helicopter or speedboat to pick you up, but the assessment is naturally zero points.
Of course, Sun Ce passed the assessment, and he knew that the sea was an endless treasure. Fresh water can be filtered by digging pits. The food is even more endless in the sea.
"This is it!" Sun Ce kicked a stone open.
The stone fell into the puddle with a "clatter", and the originally clear water became turbid.
The waves were still crashing against the shore, the waves were constantly surging, and the sound of frogs was a little dull.
Suddenly, small bubbles slowly appeared, as if something was about to emerge, and there were schools of fish hidden in the water.
At this moment, the Jiuqu Overlord Gun in Sun Ce's hand had been stabbed down again and again, stabbed, lifted, and flicked, the movements were coherent and smooth, and fish were constantly being thrown onto the beach.
At this time, Hengjie and the others finally understood why Sun Ce had everyone prepare a lot of fish baskets.
The fish that Sun Cezha came up with were all yellow croaker.
Yellow croaker is divided into large yellow croaker and small yellow croaker, which is two of the three major seafood fish in China in later generations. At this time, in May, it is the season for large and small yellow croakers to migrate to the shore to spawn and seek bait.
Hengjie and the others looked at the large and small yellow croakers that were constantly being thrown up by Sun Ce, and each fish had a blood hole the size of a spear tip. When the four of them saw it, they were not only amazed.
Ling Tong was just fifteen years old, and he was the age when he was curious about everything.
Sun Ce smiled and said to Ling Tong: "Gongji, you take everyone to try, we will eat these fish tonight!" ”
With that, Sun Ce jumped off the stone.
"How? What do you think? Sun Ce looked at the three of them and asked with a smile.
Hengjie replied with a smile: "What the lord said is true, the sea really has endless wealth, presumably the benefits of fishing and salt in the past are also like this!" ”
Sun Ce nodded and asked, "Bo Zhu, I want to rebuild Changshui County here, what do you think?" ”
Hengjie pondered for a moment and said: "What the lord said is very good, but I am afraid that there are many difficulties in it!" ”
Sun Ce nodded, looked at Gu Yong and asked, "I know that there are a lot of difficulties here, so, Yuan Si, I don't know if you are willing to be the magistrate of Changshui County?" ”
Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”
Sun Ce nodded and said to Gu Yong: "Don't worry, Yuan Si, all the money and food you need can be taken from Zijing." After that, he looked at Lu Su and said: "Zijing, Fan Yuan sighs to withdraw money and grain, don't ask me, everything is right!" ”
Lu Su and Gu Yong both nodded yes.
Immediately, Sun Ce appointed Gu Yong as the magistrate of Changshui County and the chief of the shogunate fisherman.
(Three more, ask for collection!) )
