Li Shen's salt pans are large in scale and use different filtration methods, so the finished products are of high quality.

However, Li Shen has no plans to sell it at the moment, because Li Shen is waiting for an opportunity.

An excuse that would make it logical for him.

"Wei Zheng, we have to expand the scale and gather more people to work, there are many poor people along the coast here, so we should support them.

The point is that the filtration of the second process should be arranged for us to do it ourselves, and the process cannot be known by others, and the formula is known? ”

At this time, there is no technical protection, so only a technological monopoly can be implemented.

"It's the prince, the people who do the second process are all the old people from our former Huangzhuang, they work here, and the salary is twice as high as that of Chang'an.

However, the family members are still in Huangzhuang, so they will not reveal it. ”

Wei Zheng had already made arrangements.

"That's good, and according to what this king said, we make fine salt, although the cost of coarse salt is very low, but it is not much worse.

Our fine salt has a lot less processes than their fine salt, so the cost is lower than theirs.

This king will make it possible for all the people of the world to eat fine salt. ”

The price of salt in Datang is very cheap, coarse salt is 20 wen a bucket, a bucket is more than 10 catties, enough to eat for a long time, and fine salt is more expensive, 10 wen a catty,

Coarse salt is eaten by ordinary people, although the salt making method of the Tang Dynasty has been very developed, but coarse salt will have some bitter taste.

The fine salt is continuously processed and filtered on the basis of coarse salt, and finally ground into it, which is eaten only by wealthy businessmen and nobles.

Li Shen's salt omits the step of repeated processing, so the cost is naturally slightly higher than their coarse salt.

"Rest assured, the slave and maid will do their best to fulfill His Highness's wishes." Wei Zheng immediately began to speak.

Li Shen nodded, followed Wei Zheng to the salt workshop, and discussed with the craftsmen inside.

Li Shen stayed in Fugang for two days, and in the evening Xue Rengui came to report:

"Lord Wang, all the supplies have been unloaded and loaded into the carriage."

"Okay, then notify me and leave for Guangzhou tomorrow." Li Shen said,

Then he commanded Wei Zheng beside him:

"Wei Zheng, don't forget what this king has told you in the past two days, don't stop the shipyard, and cooperate with those old craftsmen to do research.

Both large and small ships must be built, and the king must not only have warships that can sail on the sea, but also small ships that can cooperate with the landing.

The king had seen the clipper ship under construction in the dockyard, and it was very good, and at least one of these big ships would be produced every year.

And over there. Li Shen stretched out his hand and pointed to the south.

"There's an island over there, called Liuqiu, which is not very far from Fuzhou, and you send someone to do business.

The purpose is to collect intelligence, and sooner or later it will be the territory of my Datang. ”

"Lord Wang, Liuqiu is already a vassal of my Tang Dynasty. They had sent several envoys to Chang'an to worship, and even their princes. ”

Wang Xuance reminded that it was somewhat unkind to act against a weak subject country.

"Xuan Ce, you are wrong, the flow ball will always be an inseparable part of my Datang, not now, soon this king will make him be."

Li Shen said firmly.

No matter what, Li Shen will not let the things of the future happen, lend? It's impossible, Li Shen will lease the Wa Kingdom.

Wang Xuance didn't understand the deep meaning of Li Shen's words, and only felt that what he said was too arrogant.

The use of troops against Goguryeo was due to Goguryeo's disobedience to discipline, and secondly, Goguryeo was considered an opponent.

Most of the small countries around Datang have chosen to merge into Datang, and Liuqiu is just an overseas island, and he doesn't understand why Li Shen cares so much.

"Yes, Lord Wang, the slave and maid will let this be arranged, and some businessmen will come to Fuzhou in Liuqiu, and the slave and maid will find a way to make friends with them."

Li Shen nodded,

"Well, don't worry, this king is leaving tomorrow, you work hard here, I miss you, you go back and have a look."

Wei Zheng nodded.

Early the next morning, Li Shen was pulled up by Chunxiang Dongmei, and after bathing and changing clothes, he came to the city gate to prepare for departure.

"The slave and maid send off the prince, may the prince have a smooth journey."

Wei Zheng took a few backbones to see Li Shen off.

A cool breeze blew in the early morning, which sobered up the confused Li Shen a little, and said to Wei Zheng and the others:

"Let's all go back, this king will come back in a few days, Wei Zheng, take care of this king's big baby, don't break it."

The treasure that Li Shen said was his aircraft carrier building.

"Don't worry, the prince."

Li Shen waved his hand and turned around and got into his luxury carriage.

Originally, the sea route from Fuzhou to Guangzhou was the closest, and the speed was also the fastest, but Li Shen really couldn't stand the suffering of seasickness.

So I chose to take the land route, anyway, the guards' horses were all here, and I didn't have to be so tired of walking.

Li Shen went to the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion slowly.

The Guangzhou Governor's Mansion was placed in the seventh year of Gaozu Wude, and the Zhenguan period was promoted to the Central Governor's Mansion, supervising Guang, Shao, Duan, Kang, Feng, Gang, Xin, Yao, Taki, Dou, Yi, Lei, Xun, Chao and other fourteen prefectures.

Under the jurisdiction of Lingnan Province, the composition of the population here is very complex, but most of them are Han Chinese, people who migrated from the Yellow River Valley.

Or some exiled sinners and their families.

It has not been fully developed by the Central Plains, so there are more primeval forests.

In traditional Chinese medicine, "miasma" refers to the poisonous gas produced by the decay of animals and plants in the forest, as well as diseases such as malaria caused by mosquitoes that are frequent in the jungle.

That's why it's called the land of smoke miasma.

The traffic here is not as developed as the Central Plains, and the roads are not as smooth as the Central Plains.

Li Shen's convoy was moving very slowly, and there was no such thing as driving in a straight line, so he could only take the county road between counties.

Li Shen can be regarded as a big sin this way, the air here is humid, and it often rains.

The carriage often got stuck in mud puddles and had to be carried by the guards.

Finally, when Li Shen was about to collapse, he reached the boundary of the Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou, which served as a medium administrative center.

The road was much better than in other places, and Li Shen also rode his white dragon horse and galloped on the road.

"Lord Qiqi, there is a large group of people coming ahead."

The guard who was exploring the way ahead reported.

"How many people are there, do you know where they are coming from?" Li Shen asked.

This place is not as good as the mainland of the Central Plains, where the fish and dragons are mixed, and the probability of accidents is relatively large.

"I didn't see it clearly, the villain came back to inform the prince to prepare to meet the enemy, and he would come to report later." The guard replied.

"How far is it from the Governor's Mansion City of Guangzhou?" Li Shen turned around and asked Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance took out the map and carefully identified it for a while before saying:

"Back to the prince, there should be more than forty miles."

"Report ~~~~ Qi Yu Lord, there are about 1,000 people coming from the front, and it seems that the clothes are local government soldiers."

(This ball, I have checked some information, it is not the Ryukyus, it is a ball.) It is also called Xiaoliuqiu.

Some people may not know where the flowing ball in the article is. ）
