At the time of the civil strife in the country of Guwu, Yang Zilu was inspecting the salt households outside Dong'an City. I also saw the so-called treasure pool given by the heavens to the Dong'an Department in Chonghu's mouth. It is said that every afternoon, when seawater is harvested from this pond and boiled for sea salt, more sea salt is obtained. Yang Zilu couldn't help but be curious, what kind of place is this?

Yang Zilu originally thought it was mysterious, but Yang Zilu knew what the reason was just by looking at it. In fact, this so-called treasure pond is just a unique small pit formed by the sea for unknown reasons, although the small pit is wide, but not deep. In the afternoon, the sea begins to recede, and it will not be long before the treasure pond separates from the sea. After an afternoon of exposure to the sun, the water of this treasure pool usually only comes to the calf of a person. The so-called treasure pond is completely a naturally formed salt pan, and after being concentrated by the sun, the sea salt boiled out naturally increases.

But this so-called treasure pool also gave Yang Zilu a hint, he was thinking about how to get more money all day long, isn't this a ready-made cornucopia? Since ancient times, salt and iron have been the most profitable, and even the state has strictly controlled and cracked down on illegal salt and illegal mining. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qi State made its fortune by eating salt. As for iron, it is the most important weapon of the country, and in the time of war, the profits obtained are far away from the salt dozens of miles away, and the profits in peacetime should not be underestimated, it is too exaggerated to say that it is ten times, but seven or eight times is ordinary profits.

In terms of iron, Yang Zilu himself is not enough now, and there is only one mine in Jiukui City. Although Yang Zilu has sent someone to search, it has not yet achieved results, so it is naturally more impossible for Yang Zilu to sell iron at present. In fact, Yang Zilu's inspection this time was also to see if there was a way to expand the production of sea salt, and he didn't expect to get such a revelation as soon as he came.

Yang Zilu immediately instructed the salt farmers to make the salt pans, and the building materials used in the salt pans were still relatively troublesome. In the end, Yang Zilu made the most primitive cement from quicklime shell powder and built a salt pan.

Yang Zilu believes that the cost of sea salt will drop significantly, don't look at the profit of salt, but the cost of sea salt is not small at all, the sea water has a corrosive surname, even if the bronze is relatively strong for the corrosion resistance of the seawater, so the salt households should often change the bronze pot, fast for two months, slow for three months. In addition, boiling sea salt is very damaging to the nearby environment, and a lot of grass and trees need to be cut down for fuel.

This also requires the prime of life and women among the salt households to go up the mountain to cut wages before the sky shines. A family that makes a living by boiling sea salt is only about one stone after a month's hard work. The salt pan is different, even if you can't dry the sea salt, you can also concentrate the salt in the seawater, reduce the boiling time, and reduce the life of the bronze pot or the consumption of fuel.

In this way, Yang Zilu can completely fight a price war with Yueguo, even if Yueguo occupies a geographical advantage, and the transportation cost does not need to consume too much, it is not the opponent of Han. And if Gou Jian forbade the Han sea salt to enter the Yue country for sale, this would offend the Chinese people, and the people would be more profitable, and they would have patriotic feelings, but not everyone was so patriotic. Otherwise, modern China will not be able to see so many products everywhere, maybe they are patriotic, but that has to be based on the fact that the price and quality are not much different, then they will undoubtedly choose to make it domestic.

But even if Gou Jian uses such a trick, Yang Zilu can also sell illicit salt, and I believe that there will always be some scum businessmen in Yue who are willing to buy high-quality and inexpensive sea salt from the Han Kingdom to sell in Yue. In any case, it will also affect the interests of salt farmers in Vietnam, forcing many Gou Jian to reduce salt households. It is inevitable that the salt market of the Yue Kingdom will be slowly swallowed up by the Han State.

But Yang Zilu's salt pan has not been built yet, and Yang Zilu received a bamboo slip sent by his uncle at the end of winter, which made Yang Zilu have a little regret that he could not see the salt pan built. However, Yang Zilu immediately handed over the construction of the salt pans to the business-proficient doctor Ou Bijiang to take charge. Yang Zilu handed over the details of the salt drying method to Ou Bijiang, but he was not afraid that Ou Bijiang would smash it.

…… Parliamentary Hall......

Yang Zilu, who had just returned to Dong'an City, sat on the chair, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the armrests of the chair, making a dull sound. After a long while, Yang Zilu asked slowly, "What do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty thinks it's not easy to meddle in this matter!" Han Jiading bent down slightly on the cushion and objected.

Yang Zilu couldn't help but glance at Han Jiading in surprise when he heard this, according to his thoughts, he should approve of Han Jiading's group of doctors whose power is more inclined to martial arts. Because of the battle, they can regain control of the army and reflect their value. Yang Zilu looked at Han Jiading curiously and asked, "Tell me what you think!" ”

Han Jiading said respectfully: "The Sanyi clan is newly attached, and the army of the lord has passed everything in the country, and if the army goes out, I am afraid it will cause some unnecessary turmoil in the country." And it's already summer, it's the time when the green and yellow are not coming, and the army is out on the march, which is very stressful for the cangli (treasury)! What's more important is that the Lord can only send a standing army to fight, and the number cannot be too large, so it will be difficult to win. And if the Lord now sends people from the country to fight, I don't know how long this battle will take, which will undoubtedly affect the autumn harvest, and even lead to a serious shortage of autumn harvest, resulting in a small amount of grain rotting in the fields. ”

Speaking of this, Han Jiading paused, obviously afraid that these words would stimulate Yang Zilu, seeing Yang Zilu's face as usual, and seeing Han Jiading looking at him and showing an encouraging look, Han Jiading continued: "Even if you forcibly recruit Chinese people to fight as usual, I'm afraid the morale is not high." The most important thing is that since he ascended the throne independently, he has been fighting for many years, and even if he wins, I am afraid that the people of the country will complain! ”

Han Jiading obviously worked hard during this time to understand the Han Kingdom and learn new knowledge, and spoke in a clear manner.

Yang Zilu nodded when he heard the words and said: "Jia Ding is a good person, it seems that he has not run to the Jixia School Palace." ”

A digression here, Yang Zilu's capital was relocated to Dong'an City. The Jixia School Palace was also relocated to Dong'an City, but the Jixia School Palace in Jiukui City was also retained, but the quality of the teachers was obviously inferior to the Jixia School Palace in Dong'an City. At the same time, the original Jixia School Palace in Jiukui City was also renamed Jiukui School Palace.

After hearing Yang Zilu say this, she thought that Yang Zilu wanted to agree with Han Jiading's words, so she hurriedly moved her knees to the aisle left between the left and right columns of doctors, bowed slightly, raised her hands above her head and said, "Lord, no!" Since ancient times, the princes have achieved great things because of their prestige! The Duke of Qi Huan respected the king, sought the Yan State in the north, helped the Xing State and Wei Guo to restore the country and won the admiration of the princes of the world, and became the overlord. Duke Wen of Jin helped Zhou Tianzi quell the rebellion, save the Song Kingdom, and become the overlord! The Lord will help the country to despise the country, and the prestige of the Lord in the south will surely increase! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Miss this opportunity, I don't know how many years before I can meet it again! Think again, Lord! ”

Yang Zilu nodded disappreciatively when he heard this, he didn't know what she said. If he helps Uncle Tai at the end of winter and sends troops to contempt the country, then in the eyes of the small barbarian countries and tribes in the south, Yang Zilu will become a law enforcer and a person who administers justice. In the future, if there is something he can do in the future, he can calmly meddle in the internal affairs of these forces, gain their favor with justice, and become the overlord of the nominal southern barbarians.

But then again, as Han Jiading said, the current Han Kingdom is really not suitable to continue fighting. The end result of the exhaustive army will only be the destruction of the country, even if it is often won. There is also a typical example in front of Yang Zilu's eyes, Wu Wangfucha, a poor soldier, and finally killed himself on the Gusu platform, so that the originally prosperous Wu State perished.

Just when Yang Zilu was in a dilemma, the resourceful smiling Tiger Queen Xiong came out and said: "Lord, this matter does not necessarily require a large army. The lord can use Han, who was given the title by Zhou Tianzi, to intervene in this matter as the guardian of Nanyi on behalf of Zhou Tianzi. Because the country of Gu is strictly speaking Nanyi (Gu Wei is a country without a title, and does not belong to the list of orthodox vassal states. The Lord has the power to intervene in this matter on behalf of Zhou Tianzi. And after the lord fought the righteousness, he sent an envoy to the country to collect evidence, and strictly ordered Gongzi and Uncle Tai not to use force at the end of winter, and the lord would make a decision after getting the evidence! ”

"I'm afraid Childe will not agree to this! And in the name of Zhou Tianzi? Hmph, I'm afraid it's not as good as the Lord's last sentence! Doctor Ouli, who had the same opinion as Han Jiading, retorted.

When Hou Xiong heard this, he smiled and said, "What if Gongzi agrees?" What if you don't agree? If he sends troops to attack Uncle Tai at the end of winter, the lord can send troops to the country on the grounds that Gongzi is trying to kill people to cover up his crimes, but it doesn't need much, only a few hundred people need to help the country defend the city. The number of people is so small, the lord may use it, although Gongzi Xiang has killed people to cover up his actions, but considering that he is only listening to Uncle Tai's words at the end of winter, it is difficult to determine justice, so he does not attack the country of Gu, but only helps Uncle Tai defend the city at the end of winter. After the autumn harvest, the lord can also send troops at this time in the name of Gongzi Dying who has already investigated the situation clearly! As for the name of Zhou Tianzi, in fact, the minister is afraid that Yue Guo will interfere, and with the name of Zhou Tianzi, I am afraid that Yue Guo will have to stand aside and stand by weakly if he wants to send troops! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he was overjoyed, slapped his thigh, gave a thumbs up to the bear, and praised: "Wonderful! ”
