Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen's salt fields are large in scale and use different filtration methods, so the finished product is 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 allow him to get on with things.

"Wei Zheng, we need to expand the scale and recruit more workers. There are many poor people along the coast here, so we should support them.

The key point is that we have to arrange for the second step of filtration to be done by ourselves. The process cannot be known to others. Do you know the recipe? "

There is no technical protection at this time, so technical monopoly can only be implemented.

"It's your lord. The people who do the second process are all old people from our former Huangzhuang. They work here and their wages are twice as high as those in Chang'an.

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

Wei Zheng had already made arrangements.

“That’s good, and according to what I said, we make fine salt. Although the cost of coarse salt is very low, it’s not much different.

Our fine salt requires many fewer processes than theirs, so the cost is lower than theirs.

This king wants all the people in this world to be able to eat fine salt. "

The price of salt in the Tang Dynasty is very cheap. Coarse salt costs twenty cents per dou, which is more than ten kilograms, which is enough to last for a long time. However, fine salt is more expensive, costing ten cents per kilogram.

Coarse salt is eaten by ordinary people. Although the salt production method in the Tang Dynasty has been very developed, coarse salt always has a bitter taste.

Fine salt is made by continuously processing, filtering and grinding coarse salt. It is only eaten by wealthy businessmen and dignitaries.

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

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to fulfill His Highness's wishes." Wei Zheng immediately began to express his position.

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

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

"Your Majesty, all the supplies have been unloaded and the carriage loaded."

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

Then he ordered to Wei Zheng beside him:

"Wei Zheng, don't forget what I have told you in the past two days. The shipyard must not stop, but you must also cooperate with the old craftsmen in research.

Ships of all sizes must be built. I not only want warships that can sail on the sea, but also small boats that can cooperate with landing.

I have seen the clipper ship under construction in the shipyard. It is very good. At least one large ship of this kind is produced every year.

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

"There is an island over there called Liuqiu, not very far from Fuzhou. You send people to do business.

The purpose is to collect intelligence. Sooner or later, there will be my territory of the Tang Dynasty. "

"Your Majesty, Liuqiu is already a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. They have sent envoys to Chang'an several times to pay homage, and even their princes."

Wang Xuance reminded that it was somewhat unkind to attack a weak vassal country.

"Xuance, you are wrong. Liuqiu will always be an inseparable part of our Tang Dynasty. It is not the case now. I will let him be soon."

Li Shen said firmly.

No matter what happens, Li Shen will not let what happens in future generations happen. Leasing? It's impossible, Li Shen will rent the Japanese country.

Wang Xuance didn't understand the profound meaning of Li Shen's words. He just felt that what his prince said was too arrogant and domineering.

The reason for using troops against Goguryeo was firstly because Goguryeo was disobedient to discipline, and secondly because Goguryeo was considered an opponent.

Most of the many small countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty chose to merge with the Tang Dynasty. Liuqiu was just an overseas island. He didn't understand why Li Shen cared so much.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange this matter. Some businessmen from Liuqiu will come to Fuzhou. I will try to make good friends with them."

Li Shen nodded,

"Well, I don't have to worry about you doing this. I'll be leaving tomorrow. You should work hard here. I miss you, so just go back and have a look."

Wei Zheng nodded.

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

"My servant sends you off to your Majesty. I wish you a safe journey."

Wei Zheng took a few key members to see Li Shen off.

A cool breeze blew by in the early morning, sobering up the confused Li Shen, and said to Wei Zheng and others:

"Let's all go back. I will come back in a while. Wei Zheng, be careful of my big treasure and don't break it."

The treasure Li Shen was talking about was his aircraft carrier.

"Don't worry, my lord."

Li Shen waved his hand and turned around to get into his luxurious carriage.

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

So I chose to take the overland route. Since the guards' horses were all brought here, I didn't have to walk as hard.

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

The Guangzhou Dudufu was established in the [-]th year of Emperor Wude's reign. During the Zhenguan period, it was promoted to the Zhongdudufu, with the governors of Guang, Shao, Duan, Kang, Feng, Gang, Xin, Yao, Long, Dou, Yi, Lei, Xun and Chao. four states,

It is under the jurisdiction of Lingnan Road. The composition of the population here is very complex, but most of them are Han people, who migrated from the Yellow River Basin.

Or some exiled criminals and their families.

This area has not been fully developed by the Central Plains, so there are many virgin forests.

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

That’s why it’s called a smoky place.

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

Li Shen's motorcade moved very slowly. There was no such thing as traveling in a straight line. It could only take the county roads between counties.

Li Shen suffered a big fate along the way. The air here was humid and it often rained.

The carriage often got stuck in the mud and had to be pulled and lifted out by the guards.

Finally, when Li Shen was about to collapse, he arrived at the boundary of the Guangzhou Dudu Mansion. As a medium-sized administrative center,

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

"Prince Qi, there is a large group of people coming from the front."

The guards who were exploring the road ahead reported.

"How many people are there specifically? Do you know where they came from?" Li Shen asked.

This place is no different than the mainland of the Central Plains, where there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and the chance of accidents is relatively high.

"I didn't see it clearly. The villain came back to inform the prince to prepare for the enemy. He will report later." The guard replied.

"How far is it from the capital city of Guangzhou?" Li Shen turned around and asked Wang Xuance.

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

"It should be more than 40 miles back to the prince."

"Report~~~~ Your Majesty, there are about 1000 troops coming from the front. Judging from their costumes, they seem to be local soldiers."

(This Liuqiu, I checked some information, is not Ryukyu, but Liuqiu. It is also called Xiao Liuqiu.

Maybe some people don’t know where the flow ball is in the article. )
