183. Is it good to eat fish at the beginning of the salt field?

There is no doubt that at the New Year's Day banquet, Tang Heshang really didn't cause trouble for his brother, at least he didn't let the banquet come to an abrupt end like the Shangsi Festival.

On the contrary, the battle with Li Yan made a lot of face for the Tang family, and the title of the Tang family Qilin was spread throughout the Tang Dynasty officialdom.

Some people who are not very well-informed like Li Yan have specially found friends who are Beijing officials in Chang'an to inquire about the deeds of the fourth son of the Tang family.

The news I got was shocking!

He took four teenagers to the frontier and rescued Tang Jian from the vast grassland and captured Jie Li; invented gunpowder, horseshoes, and saddles to the country; opened a workshop, made glass, soap, perfume, cement, and honeycomb charcoal; he repeatedly criticized the emperor, published one and a half poems on Shangsi Festival, and wrote "Afang" at the court meeting; killed the Wei family in Jingzhao, damaged the Cui family in Qinghe, and seriously injured the Wang family in Taiyuan; opened Chang'an College, and collected 1,000 students, breaking the restrictions on poor families and civilians' study; went to Lingnan, and even found a Jingguan...!

The more you hear about the deeds on Tang He, the more you can reflect how Li Yan was trying to die!

The Tang family Qilin cannot be accused of it! This is the consensus among all the external officials who have learned about the deeds on Tang He.

Of course, if you have to do it like Li Yan, you can try to mess with Tang He. Cough, the results are of course very obvious...

However, not everyone thinks that Tang He did something amazing at this banquet. For example, a Chang'an Ling with a more surnamed Qu Tu, said that the influence of the poems and essays written on Tang He at this New Year's Day banquet is obviously not as targeted and destructive as the poems and essays in Shangsi Festival and after.

There is nothing else, the objects are different!

Who can beat the emperor? It makes people feel more excited, right?

Therefore, Uncle Qu Er felt that there was no need to tell his nephew who was far away in Dengzhou and was so busy that he didn't even have time to report his work.

You can't let some trivial matters distract your nephew, right?

The emperor praised his nephew, and at least he gave his nephew time to do some serious political achievements. By then, the nephew's official position will naturally rise. Our Qu Tu family can become a truly top-notch existence in the noble circle again, right?

As a result, the Dengzhou governor, who had recruited more than 30 villages, had no idea what had happened at the New Year's Day banquet.

Neither did Li Yan do anything to die, nor did he know that the little brother who had been singing with him had another great poem.

However, even if he knew about it, Qu Tushou didn't think he could evaluate anything. His own purely military bloodline and no inheritance of learning literature!

The construction of the salt field on the beach is in full swing, and Qu Tushou and Liu Rengui almost made their arms and started with it themselves.

This is also a bad governor who secretly got a pot of water back to the governor's mansion that day and cooked it for two quarters of an hour. The water was dried and the bottom of the pot was successfully boiled.

At that time, Qu Tushou curled the bottom of the pot and tasted it. It was so salty!

Although it is salty and a little astringent, it is nothing wrong with it. It is much awesome than those sour and sour salt strips!

How big is the sea and how much sea salt can be produced?

Haha, this is not important. The governor of Dengzhou felt that in order to improve the tragic life of the people of the Tang Dynasty eating salt strips and to change the current situation of the people of Dengzhou being poor, the official was willing to cook the sea!

Therefore, the originally decided 24-li salt field successfully doubled with the soft and hard foaming and manpower guarantees of Qu Tushou!

Originally, Liu Rengui refused Qu Tushou's proposal. There are so many ways to make money, why should he fight the salt field to the death?

But later I thought that one salt field is built, and two salt fields are also built.

The two sides agreed to get more people, build the first salt field first, and then build the second salt field, the Dengzhou Governor's Office and the Navy began their first strategic cooperation.

On the second day of the first lunar month, officials in the Tang Dynasty had already had holidays, except Dengzhou.

On this day, the first salt farm was finally built.

Thirty villages have invested nearly two thousand manpower, but they can't create a salt farm for so many days, even if they don't know how low the efficiency is.

The built salt field looks a bit like terraced fields, but the height difference is not that big. The ridge of the pond is about half a foot high and is surrounded by square ponds, with an area of ​​eight steps from top to bottom. The beach pond is dug from top to bottom, with a drop of 3 inches. There is a pool door between the upper and lower ponds to flow downwards. Bulk towers are built under the bottom pot. The construction drawings in Liu Rengui are marked with two words "Salt Tuo" to prepare for salt storage. Three large trenches on the beach pond are dug around it, which is called salt trenches to prepare for tide storage. On the one side to the sea is a ditch embankment, with a water door opened and a gate is set up for opening and closing. There is a "tide trenches" built outside, which leads directly to the sea to lead tide into the ditch, and prepare salt trenches to absorb tides.

The bottom of the salt flat is no longer the original sand mud, but the soil in the pond is loose, dried, and then the sea water is added to soak it thinly, so that the workers can evenly step on the pond barefoot, scrape the pot with a scraper, then drain the sea water in the pond and dry it, compact it with a sliver.

After all, the process is not complicated, and most of the materials are taken locally. Otherwise, a salt pond that is twenty miles long and one mile wide can not be built in a few days.

The completion of the Yanchi Lake was a great encouragement to Qu Tushou and the fishermen involved in the construction of Dengzhou.

Especially the fishermen, have they ever heard that as long as the salt pond is built, some workers will be recruited to work in the salt farm! Although the monthly salary cannot be set for the time being, there will definitely be a hang of money.

That's just a hang of money, how much brown rice can you buy?

If you don’t know, please go back to the previous chapter and calculate it!

Mr. Liu had no objection to Qu Tushou's words, and this was the content that the two discussed. However, on that day, Liu Rengui did not announce that those people were selected to work in the salt farm, but returned to the governor's mansion with Qu Tushou.

The completion of the first salt farm naturally needs to be celebrated!

As soon as he returned to the governor's mansion, Qu Tushou smiled and said, "Brother, the first salt farm is completed today. We have to celebrate it! Or, let the chef get some fish sashimi and accompaniment for me?"

Liu Zhengze, who had long been tired of eating fish, looked stiff. What does this celebration have to do with the fish-eating god?

Looking at Liu Rengui's face, Qu Tushou smiled knowingly and said, "You, I know you can't get used to it. Let's have a stir-fry tonight! This has been prepared for me for a long time, and I'll wait for today!"

"real?"

If there is anything else that can make Liu Rengui overjoyed, it’s really only food!

The more fish sashimi I ate, the more I got, but Mr. Liu was getting less and less comfortable!

If it weren't for the construction of the salt farm these days, Liu Zhengze would have exchanged other foods according to the order given by his general, so how could he continue to eat this fish sashimi that makes people want to vomit?

Sure enough, several dishes that were not as good as the color, fragrance and flavor were on the table, and Liu Zhengze’s appetite was greatly boosted!
Chapter completed!
