Chapter 156: The Salt Farm Has Been Completed

He Qiu fiercely reprimanded this bad atmosphere in the academy, thinking that the people in the academy were too floating, and punished them for copying books together to cultivate their self-cultivation.

As for He Qiu himself, he was there to consider giving this Shuntian Mansion Yin Chenmo this zhe

How to write a g fu disaster relief strategy.

After thinking about it for a while, He Qiu decided to copy some of the policies that he could remember in his memory, as for whether it can be used or not, how it can be changed to adapt to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, that is Chen Mo's life.

Under the pen, within two days, He Qiu wrote the plan that Chen Mo wanted, in addition to the large framework that Chen Mo wanted, it also filled in a lot of specific practices, which can be regarded as overfulfilling the task.

However, when it comes to the deployment of manpower, He Qiu is all empty, and he just talks about it in general terms, and the yamen's officials and army can be used for disaster relief.

Whether the specific Shuntian Mansion can transfer the nearby guards, and how to cooperate after the transfer, are all He Qiu's blind spots, and he doesn't bother to ask, leave this little content to Chen Mo to improve, can't he finish everything by himself, right?

If he had finished writing everything, wouldn't Chen Mo have no room to play at all? It's so shameless.

Let He Neng send this written plan to Chen Mo's mansion, and He Qiu will forget about it.

On the other hand, after He Qiu gave the method of drying salt, Zhu Di discussed it with Yao Guangxiao, and finally sent Ma He to the Changlu mentioned by He Qiu to build a salt drying field.

After all, Ma He is Zhu Di's confidant, and he is quite talented, so he can grasp the construction of the salt farm, and he will not hand over a foolish report to Zhu Di.

Ma He is now on the side of Cangxian County, and he didn't have time to meet the local officials, so he went directly to Changlu again, where there was a practice of boiling salt before, and there were also some stove households.

But now within the scope of the salt drying field finalized by Zhu Di, there is still a vast white saline-alkali land, the surrounding is empty, the sea breeze carries a strong fishy salty smell, and the sea surface near it is high and rough in autumn.

This errand is not so easy to do, Ma He can only rely on the strength of the Yan Wangfu to build a salt farm here, and he can't grab the stove with the imperial court, so he can only live in the cracks.

However, Ma He didn't care about this, he was very confident in He Qiu, thinking that since this matter was the idea given by He Qiu, there would definitely be no mistakes in the general direction.

Ma He took the generals of Yanwang's Mansion and the craftsmen who were hired, changed their shoes every day, wore hats and watched the recruited people work, and inspected over and over again, staring at whether these people were carrying out construction in accordance with the construction requirements given by He Qiu.

Don't look at what He Qiu said at that time, it was extremely simple, but in fact, the process of drying salt was extremely cumbersome, and it was impossible to prepare good refined salt without going through dozens of processes.

Although Ma He didn't know how to dry salt or how to make the tools needed for the salt farm, Ma He was serious and careful enough, and he could also delegate power to craftsmen, not in a hurry, and polish the tools over and over again.

For every tool that is not available at the moment, the tools to be used in the salt factory, Ma He will keep an eye on the craftsmen, and will constantly make adjustments according to the actual use.

Rao is Zhu Di provided a lot of resources.

But this winter, the salt drying work is not very good.

The temperature has dropped, and there is no way to prepare refined salt on a large scale.

As for the method of freezing salt made by He Qiu at the beginning, Ma He specially invited people who knew how to ask, but even they couldn't figure out how to operate it, so they could only put it aside for the time being, finish the matter of drying salt first, and then study it.

Ma He has been busy for several months, but unfortunately the weather is not strong, it is already winter, Ma He originally thought that he would not be able to see the salt from this salt field with his own eyes.

But his experts told him that according to what was written in this method, salt could be made even in winter, but the efficiency was lower than in summer.

Ma He was very happy, and he stood by the salt pond before dawn, looking at the seawater stored in it.

He also personally tasted the seawater in the salt pond, which was saltier than the sea water outside, and he was shocked by a few processes before he arrived at the salt pond.

Ma He can say with certainty that according to this bitter and brackish seawater, the salt can definitely come out, and the salt yield is also very high, but it is really hard to say whether it can be sun-dried.

Ma He was guarding by the salt pond, from the morning to noon, and then to the afternoon, waiting for almost a day's work.

But his wait was not in vain, as the wind rose and the temperature increased, the water in the salt pond was quickly evaporated, and the white salt gradually leaked out of the salt pond.

The workers of the salt factory began to transfer salt from one salt pond to another, and they were also very excited, because these workers were originally stove owners, but they did not believe that salt could be dried.

But now this "miracle" seen with their own eyes has to make them believe it.

Some of the brains are flexible, and they immediately thought that since the salt can be dried, their future life will not be as hard as before, thinking of this brings tears to their eyes, if it were not for the regulations of the salt farm, many people may have to fall on the ground and cry bitterly.

Now, they are more careful in the work of the salt factory, and every step of the process of the salt factory is done very carefully, so that the salt can be finer and better.

Ma He's mood at this time was more than just excited.

This salt can really be dried!

This is still winter, according to what He Qiu gave, the efficiency of drying salt in winter is very low, but even so, dozens of stone salt can probably be produced on this day.

If the size of the salt farm is doubled, maybe in the summer, nearly 1,000 stones of refined salt can be swept out every two or three days!

Although in terms of quantity, the production of these salt ponds is not particularly high, let alone to supply the whole country. But the salt that comes out of this is not only of excellent quality, it is the refined salt of white flowers, and it does not use fuel!

As long as the salt field is built, the cost of this method of drying salt is pitifully low, and even fuel is not costly, but it only consumes a little manpower, and for Daming, is this manpower money?

Therefore, in the eyes of Ma He, this salt field in front of him is a big mountain of gold!

Ma Helian ate on the edge of the salt pond, and it was not until he personally saw the first batch of Baihuahua's salt come out in the evening that he wrote excitedly, asking the people who came with him to think that the Yanwangfu family would send eight hundred miles back to the Yanwangfu in an expedited manner.

Such a big good thing, it should be known to the prince one step earlier, so that the prince can make a decision, whether to report this matter to the court, after all, such a big movement, even if it is hidden, it is difficult to hide it.

The news soon spread to Zhu Di's mansion, and Zhu Di excitedly pulled off several of his beards, and hurriedly sent someone to pull He Qiu out of the academy.

When He Qiu arrived, before He Qiu could sit on the chair, he took out the good news given by Ma He and a summary of the salt drying process experiment report he made to He Qiu.

Ma He was deeply influenced by He Qiu, and Zhu Di also preferred reports with detailed data after coming into contact with He Qiu, so his report was well-organized and detailed, so that people could see the key points at a glance, but there was no literary brilliance.

He Qiu glanced at it roughly, although he knew that the salt drying method was feasible, but Zhu Di and the others didn't know, now that there was accurate news, the matter of drying salt was completed.

But He Qiu was a little dissatisfied with the output, and couldn't help muttering: "Why is this such a small output?" It's only a few thousand pounds at a time? If it is changed to summer, wouldn't there be only tens of thousands of catties in a summer? ”

You are the Changlu Salt Farm, the kind with an annual output of more than one million tons in later generations, the largest salt farm in the country.

Amplify Ming at this level? No way.

Zhu Di scolded: "You can produce salt in the sun, how high do you want its yield to be?" Is it possible that you have to pay hundreds of thousands of catties a month to be satisfied? The heart is also too big. ”

Zhu Di was already very happy when he saw Ma He's report, and this production was not small.

What's more, this time only a single salt farm was built in Changlu, which is not particularly large, and there can be so much refined salt.

What if the salt field of Changlu was expanded several times, more than ten times? Or find a few more places and build some salt drying plants, and the prospect is really wonderful.

You must know that these sea salts are all built after the salt farm, only the cost of labor is consumed, and when calculated, it is equivalent to the money picked up for nothing, who can not like it?

He Qiu began to nag with Zhu Di again, there is still a place in the Ming Dynasty where a large-scale salt drying field can be built - Hainan, which is still called Qiongzhou.

This salt field on Hainan Island, in terms of natural conditions, is stronger than that of Changlu! The tropical and subtropical climate has plenty of sunshine and high temperatures all year round, and the island is surrounded by seawater, and there is no shortage of raw materials.

What's more, the degree of development over there is very low, and it is a pity that it is only used to exile prisoners or something, and it is completely possible to immigrate a large number of people from Fujian to build salt farms, and it can also alleviate the situation of more people and less land in Fujian.

Thinking of what was written in the history books of later generations, Fujian people are many and narrow, and there are many folk customs of drowning babies, He Qiu felt obliged to find a way for these people.

Zhu Di looked at him like an idiot, he was speechless in his heart, I am not an emperor, I can develop whatever I want, but I am also extremely hot about the Hainan salt field that He Qiu said, this is all silver picked up for nothing.

Thinking of what Ma He said in the secret letter, whether to report to the court or not, Zhu Di made a decision in his heart. Tell the court directly, anyway, my father must have received the news, so I will attach the news of the Qiongzhou Salt Farm to show my patriotism and earn another wave of fame, why not?

Qiongzhou has not yet been developed, and it is difficult to build a salt farm, which is a matter for the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with Zhu Di's current small vassal king.
