On the third day, all the military households of Maojiatun came to the beach to gather, and it was said that the salt was going to be released today......

In the past few days, most of the military households have already had some points in their hearts, but when they came to the edge of the salt pool, they could hardly believe their eyes!

The thirty salt ponds were all white flowers, all of which were crystal clear large chunks of clear salt, and this place was watery two days ago......

"It can really be done"

"That's a lot of salt, it's bigger than boiled"

"I'm afraid that this pool is only a hundred catties, right?"

Looking at this spectacular scenery, the military households couldn't hold back their excitement and started to talk about it.

"Come here......" Han Zongqi pointed to a salt pond in front of him and said: "Let's see how Master Bi harvests the salt first, learn a little."

Bi Fangji was dressed in a short coat, wearing a broken hat on his head to block the sun, and holding a kitchen knife with a missing mouth in his hand, he scraped while explaining to the soldiers, "Don't scrape the bottom salt bed, the thicker the salt bed, the shorter the salt is said to be dry, this method produces salt and granular salt, without suffering, all skills, or watering, or farming, can be ...... to ease the poor."

Many military households have slowly accepted Bi Fangji in their hearts, a kind Hongyi, a Hongyi who is not only kind but also speaks the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he ignores his appearance, it is not difficult to accept, and some military men gathered around Bi Fangji to listen to him explain the key points of salt.

When Yang Bo waved his hand, all the military households poured into the divided salt pond and began to scrape salt.

Tie Niu They also joined the ranks of labor, only Yang Bo took Xiucai to hide in the shade of the tree, Xiucai took a pen and paper, and counted the number of newspapers

Because it is the first time to scrape salt, most of the military households only scrape a thin layer on the top of the salt ridge, the bottom of the salt pond is tamped with non-permeable triple soil, and a lot of salt ridges are laid, so the first time the salt scraped is mixed with a lot of sand, and the quality is very average.

Yang Bo's eyes looked at the hot labor scene, his thoughts had flown to other distant places, and he was thinking that it was time to set up a salt protection team.

Yang Bo had to guard against it, there were only a handful of forces he could use in the officialdom, and there were too few. The Ming Dynasty, this feudal and ancient era, was so cruel and resistant to all unconventional appearances without the impetus of external forces. No matter what innovations and innovations, it is very likely that he will be destroyed together. The salt pond, this high-efficiency salt-producing machine, but there is no corresponding force to protect it, this is the way to take trouble? And the Salt Guards were only the first step in all his plans.

When the last salt pond was harvested, the statistics came out quickly

Xiucai took a piece of paper full of numbers and read it, while shaking his head and making an abacus, "Four retreats, six advances, nine retreats, one returns, my lord, a total of more than two thousand five hundred and sixty-eight catties, and each salt pond scrapes more than ninety catties of salt......"

Yang Bo nodded, although it was the first time to produce salt, the output was about to reach more than half of the monthly quota, and he still needed to wait a few more days to get the average salt output of a salt pond.

The surrounding military households who drank water and enjoyed the cool under the shade of the trees obviously also got this result, they exchanged heads and ears, and talked about it, the military households are not stupid, they were tired and tired of working for a day, and they could boil two or three hundred catties, many people who were active have begun to calculate, if the salt pool is successfully salted, the quota will be completed for up to three days, and the remaining more than 20 days of salt will be net income, in addition to the hundred households, the general flag, and the small flag will take most of the money, how much silver can they get? It's a complicated calculation for them, and it's safe to say that it's definitely not going to be any less.

Cutting wood and boiling the sea, not only burns a large amount of firewood, consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and cuts off the big head, and each military household has only a few dollars of silver, these military households have a large family to feed, especially those logging military households do heavy work, and eat a lot, this income is not even enough to buy rice, can only rely on Pingshu to touch some fish and shrimp and some wild vegetables and grains, barely starve to death, just like this, it is much stronger than some surrounding places

Many people pick up branches and scribble on the sand, or discuss them with the people around them. Once there is hope in life, the original numbness and sluggishness are immediately swept away......

In the seaview room, Yang Bo was listening to Xiao Mochou's report, and he had been running around Maojiatun for the past two days, in order to actually count the number of people.

"My lord, there are 102 registered military households in Maojiatun, including 210 males between the ages of 13 and 60, 167 strong men, 68 boys, 195 women, 82 young girls under the age of 13, and 8 homeless households, unnaturalized, 6 males and 17 young children......

Yang Bo nodded, he decided to register those homeless families and turn them into registered military households, which is far from enough

The military households of Maojiatun soon heard the good news that the new Baihu adults were ready to expand the scale of the salt pools, and what made the military households happiest was that the Baihu adults were ready to allocate those salt pools to them!

In the past few days, Han Yan'er has been surrounded everywhere she goes, looking at the eager faces of those military households, Han Yan'er had to continue to repeat what he had said countless times: "I've told you, Lord Yang is still thinking about it, I don't want you to suffer a loss, why panic?" Since the adults came to our Maojiatun, you have touched your hearts and asked, have you treated you badly? ”

Several military households smiled innocently, and didn't know what to say for a while, but at that moment, a military household squeezed up and asked, relying on his old qualifications; "Biting, didn't the adult think about how to divide it? If it is divided by households, there are a few households in the tun that have a lot of people who drag their families......"

Han Yan'er saw that the old soldier had been with his father all his life, and he was not easy to get angry, so he said: "The adults have their own considerations, Second Uncle Han, you just wait to hear the good news."

The old soldier asked again, "Then, what about the quota?" Also, do you want to collect taxes for adults to share these salt pools? ”

Han Yan'er shook her head: "Second Uncle Han, the quota must be apportioned, and now that there is a pool, it is not a matter to spread it to each family, but I really know about collecting taxes......"

The military households are more tightly crowded, this is the problem they are concerned about, just like the fields, in addition to the quota of the two buckets, there are other large households, these large and small officials also fall on them, because many people would rather abandon the land than go to farming.

"The adults said......" Han Yan'er arched his hand towards the air, "The pool that goes down will not be taxed for three years, and the extra amount of salt will be paid after the spread, and the amount of salt produced is your own, and after three years, the adults will be taxed according to 30%"

The military households were in an uproar, and no one thought that there were still officials in this world who did not collect money.

"Biting" The old soldier asked a question that everyone had thought about in their hearts, but didn't dare to say: "If we go to the beach and open a salt pond to dry salt, will it be successful?" ”

Han Yan'er's eyes flashed, and she said in a somewhat harsh tone: "Second Uncle Han, I advise you not to be so confused, there are no rules, there is no square circle, and the whole family in the private salt farm will be killed!" If you report it to someone, even the adults can't protect you, the adults said, in the future, all the coastal places will be regulated, and whatever you say, they are all our Maojiatun pools, and they will be distributed to you, why do that kind of flattering stupid thing? ”
