Although the current navigation level in the country is not as far as the level of Europe and North America, it is still possible to go to Korea, island countries, and Nanyang countries. The rise of maritime trade will naturally lead to the development of shipping, shipbuilding and other industries, and also help a country's coastal defense, in fact, the sea ban has long been opened by the strong ships and cannons of the great powers, in Xiao Yungui's view, it is already open without opening the sea ban, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still guarding itself, perhaps there is no other excuse except for worrying about the progress of the people's wisdom and civilization and rebellion against the imperial court.

At that moment, Xiao Yungui ordered Tang Zhengcai to lead those township officials who were related to Cao Yun to another hall to discuss the details, and it was better for the insiders to negotiate the detailed regulations.

Then there are representatives of the salt merchant clan of the township officials to talk about the salt industry, the new policy in the West Hall to encourage private tea, salt, sugar, tobacco and liquor and other industries, the biggest change is the salt industry, the West Hall abolished the old Manchu system, the implementation of the new ticket salt law, the cancellation of the nest, regardless of the official gentry and merchants, as long as the tax can be carried, and in Sufu Province, no matter what county, can be sold at will. In this way, the monopoly of salt merchants and salt gangs on the salt industry has been further broken, and as soon as there are more salt goods, the price of salt will naturally drop, and the people will be able to afford salt.

This kind of open business policy has the greatest impact on the old salt merchant clans, although Yangzhou is the most famous salt merchant in the world, but there are still many big families under the rule of Sufu Province who rely on the salt industry for a living. These people lost their salt profits, and naturally they were dissatisfied with the regulations of the salt and iron liquor industry in the new deal.

After listening to some township officials representing the salt merchant clan, King Xi said slowly: "Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, these utensils are the daily necessities of the common people. The people's lives are poor, and most of them are inseparable from the salt and the high price, which is for the livelihood of the people. The salt ticket law of the New Deal still has to be enforced. ”

When the township officials representing the salt merchant clan heard this, they all looked at each other, and it seemed that the king of the west would not change the salt ticket law in the new policy. Chen Tian was secretly happy in his heart, since the implementation of the salt ticket law, the price of salt purchased by his clan has fallen by three percent, and he is still very much in favor of the reform of the salt industry by the king of the west, and he can't help but secretly scold those unscrupulous salt merchants in his heart, and he still has the face to see the king of the west.

But the king of the west changed his words and continued: "But there are not a few people who were originally engaged in the salt industry under the rule of Sufu Province, and this has cut off the financial route of everyone's fellow villagers, and this king is not very embarrassed. Three months ago, the king invited a Western scholar. A few days ago, he has helped the king to make a batch of iodized refined salt, eating this iodized good salt, can also prevent big neck disease, help children to raise their talents, can be described as a special good salt...... "Then the king of the West said a lot of benefits of this salt. to make the eyes of the township officials of those salt merchants shine.

After a while, the king of the west finally finished boasting, and a township official boldly asked, "Dare to ask the king of the west." What to add a little refined salt. What exactly is the point of addition? ”

King Haha smiled, ordered someone to take a Western transparent glass bottle, filled with some black crystals, King Xi ordered people to look at the people: "This is iodine, written in the stone side of the canon, in the seaweed to refine ......"

Listened to the words of the king of the west. Only then did everyone understand that this thing was extracted from seaweed, and another person asked, "King Xi, but I see that this iodized salt is so finely made." I'm afraid that the cost is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. ”

King Xi smiled and said: "This king has purchased Western equipment and set up a chemical factory, specializing in the production of iodine and other chemicals. In addition, the Western scholars invited by the king improved the method of refining salt, replacing manpower with machinery, and the cost of refining salt production was less than that of manual coarse salt. If you re-invest in the construction of a refined salt factory according to the law of this king, the iodized refined salt produced has many benefits, and the price is only slightly higher than the traditional refined salt, I believe that the market is still good. ”

The salt merchants were very surprised, and began to discuss, and the king of the west stopped the murmur with both hands: "But this method of refining salt has always been invented by this Western scholar, and it should be paid for some secret methods, isn't it?" ”

All the salt merchants said in unison: "It should be so." "Since ancient times, the secret method of the family in the country has not been passed on, and even if it can be passed on, it must be bought at a good price, which everyone knows.

And the corners of the West King's mouth floated a wicked smile, a few months ago, leaning on Mo Jiana. Pasteur's relationship, Xiao Yungui contacted her brother, Louis Anderson, who is also the dean of the Lille Institute of Technology and head of the Department of Chemistry. Pasteur. According to Hong Yun'er's historical know-it-all memory, Pasteur was still struggling with the fermentation of alcohol at this time, so Xiao Yungui wrote a long letter to introduce the theory that fermentation is the anaerobic respiration of yeasts and the control of their living conditions, which is the key link in winemaking. Although Xiao Yungui is from a liberal arts background, he still knows some about the fermentation role of yeast.

This was originally the result of Pasteur's research after three years, but it was plagiarized by Xiao Yungui, and Pasteur was inspired by this theory and quickly found the key to solving the problem. When his sister wrote to him that the magical Orientals said that there were creatures smaller than bacteria, Pasteur decided to cross the ocean to the East to see him, and by the way, he visited his sister Mojana.

After successfully turning to Pasteur, Xiao Yungui invited him to join Li Shanlan's Academy of Sciences, in addition to the need for talents in physics and mathematics, chemistry is also an indispensable subject.

In addition to Pasteur, Xiao Yungui also started the idea of Mendeleev and Nobel. Mendeleev is still working as a teacher at the Odessa High School in Russia, while Nobel is only in his twenties and is still interning in the workshop of an Allison engineer in the United States. Although Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er are from liberal arts, Hong Yun'er still remembers the periodic table, as for picric acid explosives or something, Xiao Yungui still remembers the general theory, and believes that it is still certain to use these to abduct these celebrities, not to mention the scientists who invited Shanghai, Xiao Yungui spent a lot of money.

After Pasteur came to Shanghai, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner met him, Hong Yuner and he talked for a long time about the theory of bacteria and viruses, as for the confirmation of Lao Ba himself, it is up to Lao Ba himself, but Hong Yuner still gave Pasteur an important inspiration, the method of heat sterilization, that is, a sterilization method called pasteurization, and at the same time proposed that the microorganisms of infectious diseases can reduce the virulence under special culture, so that they can change from germs to vaccines against diseases. Pasteur opened up a whole new world before his eyes, and he realized that many diseases are caused by microorganisms, so he established the bacterial theory.

As for the development of iodized salt, it is only a theory put forward by Xiao Yungui in passing, and the reason is very simple: there are many people in the Taiping military and civilians who suffer from big neck disease, and Xiao Yungui hopes to come up with iodized salt as soon as possible to prevent and treat this disease.

With the cooperation of Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er's theory and Pasteur's practice, iodized salt was quickly developed. Xiao Yunguitian shamelessly added his name to Pasteur's paper, so this salt became a joint discovery of Shaw and Pasteur, and Pasteur registered a patent in Europe. Subsequently, Xiao Yungui asked Pasteur to set up China's first modern chemical factory in Shanghai to produce some chemical raw materials.

Now Xiao Yungui wants to take out this salt making method to appease those salt merchants and coax them to invest in opening a salt processing factory, and this guy will naturally collect some patent fees.

In addition to giving the salt merchants a new salt production method, Xiao Yungui also gave them a lot of preferential policies for investing in the construction of factories, so most of those salt merchants went happily, and a small number of people who were disabled were short-sighted in Xiao Yungui's view, and sooner or later they would be eliminated, and they didn't have to bother to rectify it.

After the salt merchants were dealt with, most of the remaining township officials were the same as Chen Tian and had dissatisfaction with Juntian. The king of the west immediately issued a new decree on the uniform field system as a supplement, which stipulated that the fields of all ethnic groups should be re-measured, and the township official office should be established, and the deed of the clan land should be handled in the name of the township official office, which is nominally the public land of a large surname clan, and the government collects grain according to the number of public fields. The clan land can be inherited by the clan, but it must not be barren, it must be cultivated, and the township officials have the obligation to call the people to cultivate the clan land that has not been cultivated for more than three months. At the same time, he told the clan in the countryside that those who rent the clan land to people with other surnames can be reduced by 30% of the grain endowment. However, the cultivation of grain on public land must be guided by the Department of Agriculture, and grain areas and cash crop areas must be specially demarcated.

As for what kind of opium is not allowed, anyone who violates the guidance of the Department of Agriculture will be fined silver, punished by the crime of the person involved in the case, and confiscated public land.

Looking at the various "Supplementary Terms for the Attachment of the Juntian System", Chen Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he did not force the clan land to be distributed to people with foreign surnames, and finally kept the clan land, as for renting to people with foreign surnames, it was also necessary, and there was not so much labor in the clan, so it was still necessary to recruit tenants. As for cultivating according to the plan of the Department of Agriculture, Chen Tian is not worried, because the attached clause says that if the grain and crops cultivated according to the plan of the Department of Agriculture are handed over to the public grain, the surplus cannot be sold, and the government will purchase them at the same price.

Xiao Yungui's approach first mentioned the role of the country's macroeconomic regulation and control, Sufu Province must ensure the supply of grain, not because of the liberalization of industry and commerce, the common people are running to plant tea, raw silk and other crops, must be made by the Department of Agriculture according to the area of agricultural reclamation to make a reasonable plan, otherwise the grain reserves are insufficient, how to fight against the Qing demon? What's more, I have to feed Tianjing!

And the establishment of the township official office made Chen Tian feel more official, the Kingdom of Heaven was more generous than the Manchu Dynasty, and directly recognized the patriarch's control of the countryside, but he didn't expect that when he became an official of the Kingdom of Heaven, he was trapped by the rules that those officials should abide by. The West Temple even sent a team to the countryside to help the township officials deal with clan economic disputes, public security affairs, and civil disputes, and slowly diluted the rights of the patriarch.

After talking about Juntian and the township official office, Chen Tian got up boldly and said: "King Xi, Chen Tian, Dahe Township, Zuowang Town, Hangzhou, most of the subordinate clansmen rely on weaving for a living. (To be continued......)
