God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

"The Son of God is here? Come and see this."

As soon as the king saw him, he showed him what he was holding. Yunze saw it, and it turned out to be a map. Needless to say, the importance of maps these days, how could His Majesty trust him so much?

The king pointed to a few places: "There are salt ponds in these places, but the quality is not high, and the nearby land is not good, and it is not good to grow wheat. Sham wants to grow sugar beets in these places. Here, too far from Curry Far away, here, there is too little plantable land, and here, it is too close to other countries...Where does the Son of God think is suitable?"

The king looked forward to it, but Yunze didn't go to investigate, so he said: "Your Majesty is looking for the most suitable place."

His Majesty the King stroked his beard, looked at the map for a while, and suddenly thought of something: "The Son of God needs salt? The salt from these salt ponds is not good. How much do you need? You can send it directly from Yancheng. The quality of the salt over there is excellent. Less sediment."

Yunze laughed: "If I have a way to turn bad salt mud into good salt, would you like to try it, Your Majesty?"

"Is there such a method?" The king was very interested. There are several salt ponds in Taixi, but only the big mine in Yancheng can produce a large amount of salt. The salt ponds in other places crystallize very slowly, and the salt crystals that come out are mixed with a lot of salt. Sediment, the taste is extremely bad, and only very poor people will buy it.

"This method can not only turn polluted salt into good salt, but also produce a large amount of sea salt. There is a lot of salt in the sea, and the salt mines will dry up one day, but the sea will not." Yunze added.

His Majesty put the map down: "How do I do it? How many people do I need? How many things do I need? Tell me."

Shenzi has already proved it with countless facts. If he dares to say it, he can do it, so His Majesty the King fully believes that Yunze has a way.

What is salt?

Salt is a gift from the gods, a treasure, a treasure that can make his people healthy and strong.

In fact, after entering the age of 30, His Majesty the King thought about building a magnificent tomb for himself.Unfortunately, he forgot about it when grain production decreased in the next few years.Now that the food crisis has been resolved, and enough materials have been saved in his warehouse, he wants to repair the tomb again.

But later, the Son of God said that he wanted to lay a water supply system, so that his name would last forever. After 1000 years, people would be grateful for what he did today.His Majesty the King thought, okay, so he sent out a lot of the materials he had saved up to build the tomb.

Now the material used in the tomb has been reduced by half, but all the people in Kuli remember him because of this water supply system, and businessmen from other countries all remember his name because of this water supply system. His Majesty the King is both painful and happy.

Later, when the theater was built, His Majesty the King's heart of the "giant building maniac" recovered, and he couldn't help but build a big one.

Well, another pile of hard-earned materials was used up.

The king felt a little heartbroken when he saw that less than one-third of the material was left, and couldn't help saying a few words to the first princess.The concubine comforted him: "If you live longer, you can still save materials when you live to be 50 years old."

The king can think about it, with the Son of God, maybe he can live for so long.So recently he has been working hard to accumulate materials for the tomb, mainly collected stones, made cement, thick wood and so on.

However, today, the king suddenly had a bad feeling that one-third of his tomb might not be kept.

Sure enough, Yunze looked at the king next, and he said, "Your Majesty, you may need to use some stones and cement." He said the same thing when he said the water supply system was repaired last time, using 'some stones and cement' , As a result, one-third of his grave repair materials were used up.

The fingertips of His Majesty's beard trembled: "Stones and cement? You can take them, if you don't have enough, there are still quarries and workers." Increase quarries and increase quarry slaves.

Yunze has already seen the king's distress, but he doesn't want the king to continue to increase the number of quarries and slaves.

If you have to cut leeks, can you switch to another group of people?

He said: "It's not necessary to use all of your Majesty's. I didn't know until I was out of Curry that in many cities under the jurisdiction of His Majesty in Taixi, we only know that there are city officials, but we don't know that there is a Majesty. He promotes his relatives at will and eats taxes. , It’s all about treating the city under your management as your own property, and secretly built the City Lord’s Mansion for yourself. You can check back, whoever illegally built the City Lord’s Mansion that exceeded the area and number of floors, and directly demolished it, wouldn’t there be stones?”

This is not Yunze talking nonsense, this kind of thing has already happened.These days the traffic is inconvenient, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and those city officials are local emperors, and it is a trivial matter to be domineering, and some basically regard the city as their own private property.

After the clean-up of Green Cloud City, Yunze had a strong dislike for those officials who had already formed a family in the local area, so he couldn't help but complain at this moment.In addition, it is true that Curry has no money here, which caused Yunze to delay a lot of plans, and he couldn't help but want to be a "family copy god".

Be honest and hand over the embezzled money!

In fact, the king knew that these city officials were corrupt, but the king had never felt any problem before.They belong to the same class, how can the king stand up for some oppressed common people?Wash up and sleep, less dreaming.

But the situation is different now, and the landlord's family has no surplus food.The king's tomb has almost been demolished, so why can they build the city lord's mansion for themselves?

dismantle!It must be dismantled!

If I can't live in a luxury villa, you don't want to live in a luxury villa.

His Majesty the King, who smelled meat, was already thinking about where to start.He doesn't just want the stones, he wants the property they've swallowed up over the years.Curry is getting better and better, but the public treasury is getting thinner and thinner. The king doesn't want to take out the private property he earned from selling cotton cloth and sugar, but wants to make Curry and Taixi better, asking for money everywhere.

It is impossible to give money, but I can steal the house.

Yunze's move is too clever, those city officials are little rascals and little rascals, and the king is a big rascal, big rascal. It is absolutely correct to use big rascals to deal with little rascals.

After talking about the issue of 'increasing income and reducing expenditure', and having a plan to filter and purify white salt, their topic turned to the child brought by Yunze.

The king has sent a letter asking about this matter.

The child's father was the most powerful among several island owners, and there were many women around him, but for some reason, few of the children he gave birth could support him.That little boy was the old son of the island owner, probably because he was too spoiled and the child's mother had a high status, which aroused the fear of others, so he was bribed and sent out by the servants.

The child had been missing for almost half a year, and everyone felt that he was in danger.Although the perpetrator has been punished, the island owner still misses him very much.

Now that I heard that Taixi's God Son saved the child and said that the child was unharmed (obviously indicating that the child was not branded as a slave), the island owner immediately sent a letter, if the child was really lost by him Son, he said that he could use three ships of precious spices as a gift, and he was willing to open a small port as a transit point for the Taixi people's fleet.

The only hope is that they can send his young son back.

What King Taixi valued was not the three ships of spices, but the small transit port and the accompanying routes.

"If this is the case, I can send that child there and go to the port to try out the method of drying salt I mentioned. If it is successful, can it be used in other salt ponds in Taixi?" Yunze said.

The king instinctively wanted to object, because Yunze had a special status and there must be no accidents, but he also wanted to see if the method Yunze said would work, so he chose a compromise method: "Son of God You can send that kid to port, and then I'll have the navy take him back."

Yunze nodded and said yes.His original purpose was to experiment with drying salt in the salt fields, and sending the children away was just incidental.

After both matters were resolved, Yunze went back in a carriage, and he would set off after arranging this year's spring plowing.

From Curry to the port, the fastest way is to go by water, because the boat sails along the water.But Yunze can't travel by water, he travels with a group of people, and this time he is going to build a salt factory, so there are more people following him.However, the waterways in many places are too narrow to take a big boat, and some places are more thrilling and exciting, so it is really inconvenient for a big boat to walk.

So they went overland, from Curry all the way to the port.

If you take a small boat, you can reach the port within a month, but if you go by land, it will take about two months.Back and forth, plus the time needed to repair the salt factory, he will have to leave Curry for at least half a year, so many things have to be arranged.

"Is your highness going to leave right after you come back?" Everyone in the family asked.

"Not yet, it will stay for more than a month." Yunze said with a smile, he is now preparing to send cherry tree saplings.

There are tens of thousands of households in Curry, excluding some who have illegal and criminal records within a year, there are almost three seedlings per household.Three plants are given to each household because the seedlings may die due to inadaptability during the transplanting process.

As long as it is not completely messed up, one cherry tree can usually survive, and if it is taken care of well, it can even get three cherry trees.

Yunze sent people to register the people who needed to be delivered, and then delivered the cherry saplings batch by batch.It took him several days, and when his cherry saplings were about to be delivered, Taixi's senior management held a very interesting meeting.

His Majesty the King wanted to redefine the meaning of the law. He called the Council of Elders and nine high priests. Yun Ze was also invited to participate and took a seat.

"Who is under the control of the law and who is not under the control of the law? Do the city officials in various places have the power to override the law?"

According to the laws and regulations of Taixi Kingdom, civilians abide by one kind of law, and 'nobles' obey another kind of law.What His Majesty the King wants to discuss is to clarify who is the 'honorable person' and who is a commoner.

The meeting lasted for three days and three nights. Of course His Majesty the King wanted to treat everyone other than the royal family as commoners, but the people in the House of Elders still wanted their family to be 'noble'. No matter how much they pay, their descendants should enjoy the glory.

Yunze was originally watching the show, but the two parties did not want to let him go, and they strongly urged His Royal Highness Shenzi to speak.

In desperation, Yunze could only stand up.But he did not support His Majesty the King, nor did he support the House of Elders.He just asked for a piece of white cloth, laid it on a wooden board, asked for an ink pen, and drew a very simple and straightforward data map.

Taixi is only so big and has only so many resources.Then the same resource, how much is it divided into the hands of ten people, how much is it divided into the hands of a hundred people... Yunze just told the players on both sides very clearly that if their offspring continue to increase, and their children and grandchildren are endless, then the fact In fact, the resources available to their family will become less and less, and they will eventually become civilians.

Because the family will gradually separate, the original family will become countless small families in the future.

Why did ancient China implement the system of concubine concubine and eldest son succession?One of the reasons is to ensure that resources are preserved and inherited to the greatest extent possible.

But the situation in Taixi is not the same as in ancient China. In Taixi, getting married means leaving the family and starting a new family. This is true for both men and women, and there are no surnames in this era.

Another difference is that women in Taixi have their own property. They have pre-marital property and post-marital property, and they can take away their children after divorce.So in fact there are still some remnants of the matrilineal clan.

Yunze didn't say anything, he just laid out the facts, and then everyone's faces turned green.They realized what it would be like if the power was equally divided, and that was never what they wanted to see.

The people who were stimulated by this data graph once again had a heated discussion. Now they all feel that it is very important and necessary to limit the number of nobles, but how to limit it?
