Along the Yellow River, especially in the location of Hukou Waterfall, it has been inhabited since ancient times, and there was no dry land boat in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had just been founded, and it was not involved in the things here.

But there are farmers and fishermen, and fishermen don't row into the river in the current season, but they cast their nets on the shore.

"It's almost this time, unless the weather suddenly cools down sometimes, and the upstream is over!"

"Call a few fields, Ling Xun!"

"It's the same downstream, it's normal now, and a little later is the peach blossom flood, which should be flushed, and flooded when it should be flooded."

"Let's take care of ourselves, how can we care about others, I haven't sold a few fish caught in the ice hole in winter, it's difficult!"

"They will dig holes, and when the fish see the light, they will go to the location of the hole, who will buy fish?"

"When the water slows down and the boat goes down, it's time to make money."

"Yes, yes, yes, if you want to operate the ship this time, it depends on our ability, other people's boats...... Boat...... That's the ship? ”

A few people were chatting, talking and casting nets to catch fish.

Then they saw a ...... on the road behind them Ship passing by?

Twenty ships with long wheels 'sailing'? The key speed is not slow, and I always feel that the road surface will turn over if it is uneven...... Boat?

There was a smoking thing running in front of the ship, buzzing.

"How? Their ship doesn't look like ours. ”

"The ship of the imperial court, watch the flag, you can't mess with it, hurry up."

"It's so light! Not so heavy. ”

"It's not wooden, it's strange."

"Quick, it's a long way to go."

"Does that reel work in the water?"

"Maybe it's not a ship, right? It's like a car made into a boat. ”

The fishermen shifted their conversation to the boat they had just seen, intending to unify their rhetoric and return to it to others.

Tang He didn't care what the fishermen thought, their boat was launched, the wheels were replaced with paddle wheels, the steam engine was moved to the boat, and the craftsmen modified it, and it became a paddle steamer.

The fleet was going down the river at a fast speed, and they needed to make a trip to Chang'an when they passed by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to load coal.

There was a long delay on the road, and they were afraid that the wheels would not be able to bear the weight, so they discarded some of the coal, and it was impossible to rush back to Nanjing with the remaining coal.

When throwing coal, everyone thought about going to Chang'an, where there was coal, and it was also the fief of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, with the manpower of the Qin Palace.

From the position under the boat, take a section of the river, and then turn to Weishui, this section is the countercurrent, and you will reach Chang'an.

The entire two sections of the river, adding up to more than 100 miles, went down the river at a fast speed, and swooped down.

The countercurrent is not slow, the boat is launched at noon, and it arrives in Chang'an in the middle of the night.

The people of the Qin Wangfu didn't dare to slack off, and while asking people to load coal and water, they brought up wontons, and applied hot towels to the back of their hands and faces, everyone's faces were scratched, and it was useless to cover them.

This is still the result of applying stone grease and glycerin, otherwise that face will never be recovered, just like a person who guards the island and tanned, and his face can't change back.

Eighty-one people finished dressing their hands and faces, first they were not busy eating, and they were afraid of leaving traces for a lifetime.

The wontons are all small and can be eaten by blowing, and the big ones are hot.

When they finish eating the wontons and load them over there, they go straight to the boat and go! Flowing down the Yellow River, rush!

……

"Brought back a batch of salt, sure enough, it was all stones, faint pink, this kind of will eat the dead, bitter and astringent, eat too much vomiting and diarrhea, and the person will be gone."

"Camels can eat, livestock are not afraid, and people are not as good as livestock."

"People are stronger than animals, so they help dig the pond and hope that the pond will dry the salt."

Digging a pond with the help of herders here in Lincheng requires digging up the permafrost, backfilling some rocks and sand, and finally compacting it.

The beach drying method does not require such deep pits, which is not conducive to moving the brine from one pool to another.

If the digging is shallow, the permafrost layer will thaw, and the height of the pool will change again.

The frozen soil layer is blasted first, and then cleaned up with an excavator and people, and the rock salt is sent over to crush, and the pond is dissolved with river water when it is built.

There was no need to worry about such design matters, they just had to do what they were told.

"Beach drying method, who would have thought that there would be people next to the Hunhe River in Helin City who would use the beach drying method to purify salt?"

Zhu Fan looked at the hot construction site with a proud face.

"From now on, Helin City will be the central city of the entire region, and it will be expanded and that hill will be packed into the new city."

Zhu Biao considered the political and economic situation, and had a steady stream of salt, but anyone who knew the situation would inevitably get to exchange salt with Lin Cheng.

The salt made by the beach drying method is much better than the salt in the desert, Gobi, and desert saline-alkali land.

Moreover, the wind here is strong, and the sunshine hours are relatively short, but it is not bad to take salt a few times.

The methods used are: windward brine, halogen, non-turning brine, salty under ice, and raw salt on salt.

Step by step precipitation and purification, the salt made in this way is a particularly good salt.

This is also labor-intensive and labor-intensive, but the people and herders who live here don't care.

No matter how hard you work, what can be harder than not being able to eat salt? There is no salt when grazing, and when you encounter saline-alkali land, there are animals to lick it, and people have to dig the soil and cook it! It's still bitter when cooked.

"Your Highness is right, with salt there is cohesion, unless we use salt to exploit herdsmen, such as a sheepskin for two catties of salt."

The lieutenant agreed with Zhu Biao's words, and the herdsmen in the surrounding area of hundreds or even thousands of miles would come over to exchange salt.

By the way, take the salt to the people's homes that are inconvenient to move, and exchange it with the other party.

If the price they exchange is high, then send a team with Lin Cheng to deliver salt.

"Salt, people, come, more, laugh, um! Hey, hey, hey! Zhu Wentian found an opportunity to speak out.

"Han Han can see that the herdsmen always have a smile on their faces and bright eyes."

Zhu Fan can now naturally understand what Han Han said, and he can see that the herdsmen have always smiled and radiated from the numbness and empty eyes at the beginning, forming a strong contrast.

The chief said with a smile: "In the past, the herdsmen came because they were forced by life to go outside the city to wait for the judgment of fate.

They are not familiar with Daming, and they don't know what they will face, so they are worried.

Waiting for everyone to get acquainted with each other, they found that life can be better again and again, and became active and involved.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin have played a strategic role in this process, and they are even more ......"

"Lieutenant, don't say it, there's no need for this between us, if you say it again, I'll scold us and our brother as you."

When Zhu Fan heard that the lieutenant chief was going to continue to praise, he quickly interrupted the other party's words.

Who doesn't know who? Is it the credit of myself and my brother? If you advertise to outsiders like this is politically correct, can you really lie to your face without blushing? But we're blushing!

Zhu Biao also smiled: "Captain, remember to praise yourself when you praise in the future, Xiaqiu Village is the village of the main palace, don't separate it." Hahahaha...... Hey, hey, hey! ”
