After the fish were netted on board, the crew on the ship quickly disemboweled~ abdomen, removed the internal organs, gills, scales, etc., and then put them in a pottery urn and salted them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe whole process is not complicated, it is quite labor-intensive, and those sailors who are idle and bored on the ship are just suitable for this kind of thing.

In this era, soldiers can be transformed into laborers at any time, but in the past, most of the army was transformed into a construction corps such as road construction, land reclamation, planting, mining, etc., and it was the first time that the navy army was transformed into a construction corps.

The biggest problem now is salt, don't look at the later generations, salt was only sold for one dollar a pack, it was a cheap thing, but in ancient times, salt was a strategic substance strictly controlled by the government, and it was generally not allowed to be operated privately, and the state monopoly system was implemented.

There are some inland places where salt is a scarce commodity, and many places are short of salt, and some people are tired and swollen because they can't afford to eat salt. Dahan's salt is enough, but if a large amount of salt is used to pickle salted fish, it may be a little insufficient.

In order to solve this problem, the cabinet had to urgently meet again to discuss the opening of more salt works. Fortunately, now the Han Dynasty has unified the world and is no longer a small country that is partial to Shu. Now that there is a long coastline in the eastern part of Dahan, it is not difficult to establish a salt farm.

For this matter, the imperial court sent a special working group to the coastal areas to investigate, looking for a suitable climate and good geographical conditions to build a salt field on the coast. The southern coast is rainy, which is not very suitable for the construction of salt works. The north is not sunny enough, and it is not suitable for building salt works.

Fortunately, the coastline of Dahan now stretches for thousands of miles, and there are many places to choose from, and it is not difficult to find a suitable place. In the end, the working group chose to build a salt pan on the Bohai Sea coast in western Liaoning and Youbei Pingdi.

Originally, these places were long occupied by alien races such as Karasuma and Xianbei, and the influence of the Han on this side was very weak. However, now that the Xianbei Suli Department has been recovered by Liu Hou, and the Kebineng Department and the Budu Root have been uprooted, the Xianbei tribe has lost control of this place.

And Karasuma's fate was not much better, after Suri was recovered that year, Tian Yu sent Karasuma non-stop. After arriving in Karasuma, he once again exerted his strengths, puffing up his incorruptible tongue to win over and divide the various tribes of Karasuma.

In the end, Karasuma succeeded in splitting into two factions, one of which was annexed to the Great Han, and they could still graze in their original territory; The other faction refused to surrender, and under the pressure of the powerful army of the Han Dynasty, it had to leave the country and migrate north.

Among them, Liaoxi and Youbeiping have settled in the Karasuma people who returned to Shun. However, there is no need to worry about the security of these places, and note that these Karasuma people are sedentary, not nomadic as before.

Now that all these places have been set up as counties and incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, the nomads living here have all changed their way of life, and they can only graze on fixed pastures, and no longer live the nomadic life of wandering and living in the past.

The establishment of fixed pastures, together with the establishment of various processing plants for the by-products of animal husbandry, has allowed these herders to settle down. Not only did they settle down, but Tian Yu also registered them, managed their household registration, and promoted education, so that they were soon no different from ordinary Han people.

After Tian Yu made great contributions, he was named the pastor of Youzhou by Liu Hou and became the highest administrator of Youzhou. There are many ethnic minorities living in Youzhou, and Tian Yu has always been feared by the ethnic minorities in the north, and it is most suitable to use him as the pastor of Youzhou.

Under the management of Tian Yu, Liaoxi and Youbeiping were firmly controlled by the Han Dynasty and became an inseparable part of the Han Dynasty. So, there is no danger in building a large salt pan here now.

However, this place is not safe further north, at least for the time being, it has not been able to control the hands of the Han Dynasty. Further north are Xuansu County, Liaodong, Lelang County and other places, which were controlled by local heroes after the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Now the situation is even more chaotic, not to mention the Karasuma people who fled here, the small countries of Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Baekje are eyeing this place. Some cabinet ministers, such as Deng Zhi and Ma Liang, were also worried that the establishment of salt farms in places such as Youbeiping and Liaoxi would be attacked by these forces and would be unsafe.

After all, salt is a strategic resource, and large-scale salt farms will definitely attract many people's eyes. However, Zhuge Liang, Guo Youzhi and other ministers who have more contact with the military are not concerned. Because they all know the military ambitions of the little emperor, and they know that these small countries can't make big waves, and they can't jump for long.

According to the working group returning from the mission, there are two favorable conditions for the establishment of salt pans in this area, both in terms of topography and climate: first, there are long, wide, flat muddy beaches; Second, the weather here is conducive to the evaporation of seawater, the rainy season here is short, the temperature rises quickly in spring, and the evaporation is prosperous ~ prosperous.

Since there are such good conditions, they naturally have the approval of most of the ministers, as for Ma Liang, Deng Zhi and others who are worried about security issues, they are just expressing their worries for everyone's reference, they are actually not really against building a salt farm in this place, especially when they see Zhuge Liang and other ministers in charge of military affairs looking indifferent, they naturally know it.

As a result, the Cabinet passed a resolution to establish a large-scale salt factory here, and according to the intelligence returned from the investigation of the working group, the salt produced in this area alone could be supplied to the people of the whole country, which can be regarded as a complete solution to the salt problem.

After the completion of the salt factory here, it is believed that the price of salt in China will drop significantly, so that everyone can afford to eat salt. At that time, the salt produced by the salt factories in the country will not only be enough to supply the people of Dahan, but it is estimated that there will be a large amount of salt that can be exported to other countries to earn some foreign exchange. Of course, the basic state policy of having salt monopolized by the state will not waver, as has been the case in almost any dynasty.

Liu Hou, who had been hiding aside and listening silently, finally opened his mouth after the cabinet voted. Liu Hou's participation in cabinet meetings is like this, under normal circumstances, he does not interfere with the meetings of the cabinet ministers, and only when he has good suggestions, or when he sees the cabinet ministers come to obviously false conclusions, he will jump out and intervene.

Don't look at the ministers who are smart people, but sometimes they will go astray, because of the limitations of the times, the limitations of knowledge, etc., their decision-making is sometimes not scientific. After all, Liu Hou received a relatively comprehensive scientific and cultural education in the 21 st century, and he did not understand advanced theories, but sometimes he could indeed distinguish some unscientific things.

The reason why he interjected this time was not because the place chosen by several ministers to build a salt farm was unscientific, on the contrary, he also felt that this place was well chosen, and he spoke because he had just heard the introduction of the inspection team that the place to build the salt farm was a muddy beach, so he remembered something and wanted to give you a suggestion.
