Firing pottery is a technical work, and more than a thousand years later, the Jingdezhen porcelain of the Han Empire, along with tea and silk, conquered most of the world.

It is naturally impossible to fire the world's best 'Han porcelain' in the Beihai area, on the one hand, it is limited by raw materials such as porcelain stone and clay, and on the other hand, it is because Yang Chuan's 'pottery process' is basically a half-hanging.

Of course, none of that matters.

Even if you don't have Jingdezhen's porcelain stone, kaolin and craftsmanship level, as long as you understand the reasonable combination of clay and various minerals, billet making, and high-temperature calcination, you can almost do it.

You must know that in the current pottery firing process, even the royal family of the Han Empire is still using crude pottery, and has not yet seen the white and translucent 'porcelain'.

What's more, anyway, his porcelain was mainly sold to those Huns, even if it was a little rougher, it was enough to surprise those steppe people who were accustomed to using coarse benzene black pottery......

……

The North Sea is a bitter cold land, and the summers are very short.

Just when the land of Guanzhong was still in the hot summer, the Beihai area had already entered the late autumn, and one after another autumn rains fell, causing the originally not very rich pastures to quickly wither, turn yellow, and finally become some hay.

Fortunately, there are not many cattle, sheep and horses in Luding City, plus a radius of nearly thousands of miles, there is almost this 'tribe', and in a short period of time, the cattle and sheep will not starve.

Tangyi's father was very anxious, and came to Yang Chuan several times, wanting to say that seeing that autumn is over, winter is coming, and there is a serious shortage of salt, grain, cheese and ghee in Luding City, and everyone will starve.

Yang Chuan locked himself in a spacious wooden house, busy all day and night, his hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and he kept drawing circles on sheepskins.

In addition to eating every day, I occasionally talk to Sister Leopard's family and talk for a while, and basically don't go out.

This made Tangyi's father very anxious.

He always felt that Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun had been a little abnormal recently, and he was very frightened, but he couldn't say it directly......

Finally, one day, Yang Chuan came out of the wooden house and went directly to his cousin's father, who was teaching the children to use axes, saws, chisels and other tools.

"Childe," seeing Yang Chuan coming over, Tangyi's father hurriedly stepped forward, "This year's winter may come early, and we don't have much salt, grain, cheese and ghee......"

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, the problem of eating will be solved soon." ”

"Uncle Tangyi, how is the construction of the new city progressing?"

"The construction of the new city has gone well, the city walls and the first houses have been built, and the bathhouses, canteens, and training grounds have already begun to be used.

According to Childe's instructions, all the old people, women and children have moved to the new city, and by the way, they can still help with the work.

In addition, our field battalion also began to train, the first batch of 300 people, the second batch of 100 people, there is no shortage of war horses, but there are too few bows and arrows. ”

Yang Chuan was very satisfied when he heard it: "Before winter comes, it is very important to ensure that everyone has a warm house, as for the shortage of bows and arrows......

He paused and continued: "This can be solved soon, Uncle Tangyi, let's solve the problem of eating first." ”

Tangyi's father was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I have asked Diaoyi to investigate clearly, in the lower reaches of the Orkhon River, there are two tribes under the tent of King Ding Ling, and there are many cattle, sheep and horses, so I will take someone to grab some back!" ”

Yang Chuan laughed and said, "You guys, why are your minds full of robbery?" Didn't you think about asking them to send us some? ”

Tangyi's father is a little autistic.

In the bitter cold land of Mobei, no one has a hard time, which tribe is willing to take the initiative to send cattle, sheep and livestock?

"Let's go, let the old brothers in the field camp come over, and I'll take you to solve the problem of eating," Yang Chuan patted his father's thick shoulder, chuckled, and said, "Don't worry, I'm a cook, how can I let everyone starve and freeze?" ”

Tangyi's father nodded suspiciously, turned on his horse, and gathered the men and horses of the 'field camp'......

……

More than two hours later.

Yang Chuan and Tangyi's father led 400 Hun cavalry to the Beihai Sea, which was as vast as the sea, and after observing for a while, they began to teach everyone to cut wood and tie up rafts.

Tangyi's father quickly understood what Yang Chuan meant.

It turns out that it is to solve the problem of eating in Luding City by fishing?

However, the Hun said with some concern: "Childe, it seems that there is something wrong with letting everyone fish......"

Yang Chuan smiled: "What's wrong?" You mean, the Huns had a taboo not to eat fish? Don't worry, Uncle Tangyi, this so-called taboo is not a lie of those big orders and high priests!

Tell the brethren that we are not Huns now, but noble Han Chinese.

Of course, it is okay to say that you are a noble, great, and immortal Beihai person, I am the messenger of the Great Snow Mountain, representing the gods and their heavenly khan.

Tell them loudly that the Heavenly Khan, the warrior who has bestowed upon him, can eat fish!

Also, you're trying to say that fish is not easy to cook and store, right? Rest assured, the Snow Mountain Messenger is omnipotent, and he will solve all problems......"

Yang Chuan said these words in Chinese, and Tangyi's father was dumbfounded when he heard it, but finally he didn't say anything, and went to do the 'ideological work' of those Huns.

This Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun finally admitted that he was the messenger of the Great Snow Mountain.

There was a faint trace of tears of excitement in the eyes of Uncle Tangyi's father......

……

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.

Since you have decided to develop your own Luding City, next to it is a freshwater lake with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, how can you let it be idle?

You must know that many of the fish and shrimp in the North Sea are deep-sea species, which are not only delicious and delicious, with extremely high nutritional value, but also as long as you master the skills of casting nets and fishing, you can catch at least three or five thousand catties of fish and shrimp every day.

This alone could solve the food ration problem for half the population.

When the 'Yang's porcelain' is fired, plus some other gadgets, you can casually exchange thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock from other tribes, isn't it a million profits?

Now that the fishing business is settled, the method of making salted fish should be carried out immediately.

Therefore, without taking a breath, Yang Chuan returned to Luding City and led ten and a half sons straight to another place.

It's a desolate place.

When Yang Chuan first came to the North Sea, he found that there should be a large amount of salt soil here.

This is really not his random speculation, but there is real evidence.

Because, he clearly knows, the so-called North Sea, which was later called 'Lake Baikal', although it is a freshwater lake, but in fact, hundreds of millions of years ago, this body of water was still the sea, but later the world changed dramatically, and the former sea turned into today's mulberry field, and it was just a piece of water discarded by the sea.

Therefore, Yang Chuan concluded that there must be a large amount of sea salt around the Beihai Sea......

He took a large iron pot with him, and brought two bulging deerskin bags, and led ten and a half sons to a desolate place.

Looking at the place in front of him where there was almost no grass and there was salt and alkali everywhere, he showed a hint of joy on his face, drew a big circle with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the rice bowl I found for everyone." ”

The ten and a half sons looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Childe, there isn't even a decent piece of turf in this place." A half-grown man named Ah Tu patted his horse and said in confusion.

"It's because the grass doesn't grow that there are good things," Yang Chuan turned over and dismounted, striding forward, "You little guys, do you know that farming, raising pigs, herding sheep and horses can feed your stomach?" ”

The teenagers smiled bitterly.

If you don't farm and raise pigs, don't herd sheep and horses, in this bitter cold place, can you still drink the wind and fart to make people live?

Of course, given that Yang Chuan is everyone's life-saving benefactor, and at the same time, he is also the master, teacher and brother, and no one will talk nonsense among the teenagers.

"Come on, come on, come here," Yang Chuan turned around and greeted, "Ah Tu, Ah Shi, bring our big iron pot and two bags over and let everyone dig the soil." ”

Ten and a half sons turned over and dismounted, quickly took off the big iron pot and deerskin bags from the horseback, and chased after them quickly.

"Build a stove in this place."

"Go, chop some firewood for us."

"Dig, as long as you see a place with saline, just dig down."

"Go, bring us some water, pour it into the pot and boil, and I'll teach you a way to boil salt and purify refined salt......"

The ten teenagers agreed in unison and immediately went into battle.

As long as a large amount of salt soil can be found, boiled out of salt, and purified into refined salt after several filtration, it can be said that Yang Chuan is familiar with the road, and there is no difficulty.

Therefore, his mind is very relaxed and comfortable.

Yang Chuan stood aside, looking at these black teenagers with warm eyes, with a hint of a smile in the corner of his eyes, and pointed out a word or two from time to time.

Look, this is the benefit of his own people, infinite trust in him, infinite dependence, even if the orders he issued sound absurd, but still do not hesitate to bury his head in hard work.

Think about it, how long has it been since these thirty teenagers came to Yang's Zhuangzi? Under the careful care and cultivation of him and his cousin's father, he was actually able to take charge on his own.

Ah Jiu, Ah Tu, Ah Shi, Ah Mai, Ah Mi, Ah Gu, Ah Su......

These names were all chosen by themselves, and Yang Chuan originally wanted to give them some catchy names, but after hearing the tragic story of 'Big Mao, Little Mao, Eagle One, Eagle Two', these stinky boys actually said in unison that they wanted to choose their own names.

Listen, how cheesy!

Seeing these stinky boys digging salt soil, boiling water, and carrying water, they were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and their swarthy little faces were covered with sweat, Yang Chuan suddenly remembered Huo Quai, Cao Xiang, and Chang'an City.

'After a trip to the grassland, Huo Quai's kid is almost more handsome than me, it's unreasonable. ’

'When Princess Li heard that it was very spicy, Cao Xiang's guy is blessed, haha. ’

'Has Princess Nangong returned to Chang'an City?' ’

Will Liu Che take advantage of Princess Nangong's return to Han to engage in a national mobilization and launch the next big war against the Xiongnu as quickly as possible? ’

'Things are complicated at home, Liu Man, Naren Toya, and Zhang Anshi, can you take care of them......

Just as he was thinking wildly, several teenagers cheered loudly: "Son, come and see, it really boiled out salt!" ”

"Hahaha, these soils can really boil out salt!"
