Compared with rock salt, sea salt is king.

However, the current salt production method is basically boiling salt.

Firewood, pots, and labor are needed.

Of course, in ancient times, the last item was not worth much.

However, if you can save it, you can save it.

Just like Gu Tingcheng, the reliable manpower she can use now is only a dozen or so parts and twenty guest girls.

Those rangers, although they also settled in the fishing village with the Gu family, they were still in the investigation period.

Whether it is reliable or not is unknown.

After all, boiling salt or something is not without technical content.

The last step of filtering is the technical difficulty that requires "confidentiality".

And now, Gu Tingcheng has thought of a more convenient and effective salt making method - the salt drying method!

Compared with boiling salt, drying salt is simply a worthless business.

Demarcate salt pans by the sea, and wait until the southeast wind rises in the spring, and the sea will be able to complete it on its own.

After collection, filtration and other procedures, it is high-quality sea salt.

Guarding a huge beach is like guarding a cornucopia.

And with money, there is a foundation for what Gu Tingcheng wants to plan!

"Still need manpower?"

Gu Heng is everywhere every day.

In addition to experiencing the customs of southern Xinjiang, he is also looking for old friends.

Ahem, don't forget, this is Lingnan, the ancient "holy land" of exile.

Those who can come to this place are either big women who do great evil, or great sages and great powers.

Especially in the last 100 years, there have been frequent changes of dynasties.

Not to mention the usual party disputes in the imperial court, that is, every time there is a change of dynasty, there will be many loyal ministers or female cadres who are exiled here.

This dynasty is only more than 40 years old, and when the founding emperor of this dynasty stole the country, he exiled a large number of people.

Gu Heng is already in his sixties, and after two dynasties, among those exiled ministers, there are many old friends!

What's more, there are also side branches or in-laws of the Gu family.

Since Gu Heng has come to Luozhou, let's take a good look at the old people or their descendants.

"Hmm! Awn, I want to do one thing, and I need a lot of reliable people."

Gu Qingcheng sighed again, her age was still too young.

Six years old!

Not to mention a little girl, she is a little Langjun, and she has no prestige.

If you want to recruit troops, people may be willing to make a bet for the sake of her surname "Gu".

However, it is not easy to get the loyalty of the other party.

A six-year-old girl, to put it mildly, is a question of whether she can grow up.

The mortality rate in these years is too high.

A wind chill can kill an adult, let alone a child.

Gu Tingcheng could only wait for himself to grow up slowly.

And for now, she can only ask her elders for help first.

"Good! I'll figure it out!"

Gu Heng saw Gu Qingcheng's serious face, and knew that his granddaughter probably had a new plan.

After experiencing the incident of purifying rock salt and horseshoes, Gu Heng no longer regarded his little granddaughter as a child.

He put Gu Qingcheng on the same footing, and even regarded him as the "head of the family".

Gu Heng had honey trust in his little granddaughter, and he didn't even ask Gu Qingcheng what his plan was, so he began to find a way to help Zhang recruit people.

….

exiled prisoners and their families and descendants;

Gu family's in-laws and old friends;

There are also orphans and orphans who have lost their families for various reasons.

Gu Heng began to aggressively recruit manpower.

Gu Heng's energy as the predecessor of Zhongshu Ling began to be maximized.

In less than two months, many people gathered around the Gu family's newly built Sanjin mansion.

Among them only

There were seventy or eighty young and strong people.

In addition, Gu Heng wrote another letter to Jiankang, and among the more than a dozen people who stayed in the capital, he selected two heads of houses and asked them to go to Lingnan with Qingzhuang and Buqu.

Gu Heng is like a martial arts alliance leader who has re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, and when he gives an order, talents from all over the world have gathered.

Gu Tingcheng: ...... Awesome, my Awon!

There are also those rangers who seem to feel something, and they are actively performing one by one, striving to be able to devote themselves to the Gu family like Nie Chengfeng.

By the time he was about to enter the wax moon, Gu Heng had already helped Gu Qingcheng select two hundred people who could be reused.

These people have joined the Gu family and are the domestic slaves of the Gu family.

If they want to become a retainer of the tribe, or even a higher level, they need to continue to work hard.

And the project that Gu Qingcheng is about to start is an opportunity for them to perform.

Scourge Waters: ...... Dear, don't be busy with infrastructure, it's more fun to do tasks.

Gu Qingcheng ignored the blind persecution of the troubled water at all, and continued to follow his plan step by step.

If you have manpower, you have to settle it.

If you don't say anything, continue to build a house.

Then, it is the enclosure and sale of land.

Gu Tingcheng bought a large area of tidal flats around him.

In addition, she also opened up the Gu family's "base camp" outward for more than ten miles.

The tentacles are about to touch the county seat, so they can stop.

After such "expansion", the territory under the name of the Gu family has several villages and several hills.

Connected, it is not much smaller than the county seat.

Of course, most of the Gu family's territory is wasteland and mountainous land.

Some are even the territory of local slang.

It's just that these slang people hide in the mountains and forests, unwilling to accept the "indoctrination" of the government, and are regarded as savages and barbarians.

Their interests, such as territory, are not protected by the government.

Luozhou Thorn Shi unceremoniously allocated this piece of land to Gu Tingcheng.

Gu Tingcheng has "common sense" in the small world of the mission, and he also recognizes the idea of national unification.

Treat slang people as if they were aliens as in the past.

It's all a family!

However, for now, Gu Tingcheng does not have the strength to engage in education.

She wants to run this base camp of the Gu family first!

For the time being, the slang people's territory was drawn separately, and Gu Tingcheng did not take the initiative to provoke.

She went on to develop other places.

Build houses, build forts, and reclaim wasteland.

In addition, she combined with the local situation and dug a cave-

If a hurricane hits next year, you can have one more place to hide from natural disasters!

Gu Heng: ......

He is not really dying, but an old fox in the court who has gone through two dynasties and is in a high position in the middle book.

The little granddaughter's behavior made him feel more and more frightened (or excited?). ).

….

What does this kid want to do?

This is no longer precocious, but almost demonic.

If you change gender, Gu Heng will think that this child is thinking-

Uh, well, even a little girl is nothing!

The women of this era are still very strong.

Not to mention those royal princesses, even the ladies of the family, it is not that the door is not out of the door.

When they are quiet, they read books, taste tea, boil tea and burn incense;

Once they move, they can also get on the horse to play ball, and get off the horse to cut people!

Really slash people!

If there is news of "domestic violence" in any family, it may not be a man beating a woman.

It is very likely that it is a lady who is both civil and military and beats the dog man who is not angry at home!

It's not just young couples who are like this, but also the elders in the court, who occasionally pour a grape trellis, or be killed by the cats and lynx at home

Scratch your face!

There are also some fierce women in Beijing, holding machetes and whips, chasing their husbands out of a few streets!

It is not uncommon for unmarried little girls to gather together in order to help their sisters and aunts get angry, and directly climb over the wall and smash the door, beating dogs and men.

This is still a relatively "elegant" Southern Dynasty.

On the northern side, it is said to be more strong.

For example, what Dugu clan, what Qiu Muling clan, the deeds of those Xianbei nobles, tsk, far away, the nobles of the Southern Dynasty have heard of it.

Compared with those tough women, her own Aqing is just more ambitious!

This, actually, is nothing!

Right!

Gu Heng comforted himself like this, he did not stop his granddaughter, but did his best to help.

He wanted to see what their Gu family's daughter could do.

Is it a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows shave, or—

Gu Heng "connived", and Gu Chengcheng became more and more open-handed.

She completely built this seaside area into Gu's "Wu Fort" in accordance with the standards of city building.

In the midst of the busyness, all kinds of talents have been in place.

It's time for the wax moon.

"It's not snowing here?"

Although Gu Tingcheng is a native of the Southern Dynasty, in Jiankang, it will snow in winter.

But in Lingnan, the cold winter is in the moon, and the sun is still shining.

If you wear it a little thicker, you will sweat.

"Measured by the temperature of the afterlife, it is estimated that there are more than 20 degrees at noon."

Gu Tingcheng has "common sense" and knows that there is a large temperature difference between the north and the south.

However, being in this area in person still finds it novel.

If it doesn't snow in winter, how can you enjoy the lanterns in the New Year?

Viewing lanterns?

Subsequent facts proved that even if Gu Qingcheng stayed in Jiankang, he was destined to not be able to enjoy the lanterns this year.

Because, on the day of Zhengdan, the powerful minister Chen Jing forced the current "Zen position", and he became the emperor of the new dynasty.

The Southern Dynasty has changed its dynasty again!

And the fate of the current emperor, like the last emperor of the previous dynasty, even if he obediently abdicated, he was also killed.

There is no way, the Sima clan made a very bad start at the beginning, and the follow-up rebels and thieves also followed suit.

The emperor of the Xiao clan died, and the Xiao clan was purged.

Only a few people fled to the Northern Dynasty in a hurry.

「……」

The eldest princess of Jiangling, who had already gained a firm foothold in the Northern Dynasty, saw her nephew and nephew who described her miserable description, although she had long known that there would be such a day, she still couldn't help crying.

"Awn! Father! Brother!"

Our Xiao family is lost!

I'm ashamed of my ancestors~~

The eldest princess of Gangneung almost fainted from crying.

However, revenge or anything, she didn't mention it.

The change of dynasties is just a change of dynasty, and it is their Xiao clan that also stole the world from the previous emperor.

It's just a causal cycle.

"Princess!"

Gu Yi looked at his wife very distressed, but he couldn't persuade anything.

The sorrow caused by the ruin of the country and the death of the family cannot be calmed by three or two sentences.

「…… I'm fine!"

Slowly, the eldest princess of Gangneung calmed down on her own.

She wiped away her tears and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm not going to be a princess anymore!" Lang Jun still call me Xiao."

ps: The third is a little later!
