Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Immediately, everyone was ready to go back and prepare.

After these people left, Zheng Tiancheng from the shipyard came to Li Ke's side.

"You still have a way, His Highness King Wu!"

"In the future, the shipyard will not only be able to devote all its thoughts to building giant ships, but also ensure that the shipyard's income is higher than before!"

Zheng Tiancheng completely admires Li Ke and casts all his eyes on him.

Just one technology decentralization has played a role in the shipyard.

Now that Yangzhou Shipyard does not produce even a single ship, it will be able to lie down and collect money in the future.

And the money earned is many times more than before!

"You can't slack off, you must always improve the shipbuilding process and technology, so that in the future, there will be a steady stream of technology for decentralization."

Li Ke was afraid that they would relax the improvement of technology because of the high efficiency, so he immediately reminded them.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely not allow this kind of atmosphere to appear in the shipyard!"

Hearing this, Zheng Tiancheng also had a serious face, and assured Li Ke in a firm tone.

If anyone wants to hang around in the shipyard, he will be the first to disagree!

And what Li Ke said is also very reasonable.

Why can shipyards lie down and make money in the future?

Isn't it because their shipbuilding technology is more advanced?

But if they don't always maintain the leading technology, the technology of those small shipyards will surpass them in the future.

Then how do they make money?

Maybe they will have to go to other people to buy technology by then!

It is absolutely impossible for him to allow this kind of thing to happen!

"By the way, what about the big ship that the shipyard built before?"

Li Ke nodded, then suddenly thought of something, and asked Zheng Tiancheng.

"Your Highness, all the large ships built by the shipyard have been delivered to the navy of the Yangzhou garrison."

Zheng Tiancheng replied immediately.

Hearing this, Li Ke immediately understood.

Li Ke will not be in charge of the subsequent matters.

He left the shipyard and took a boat to the Huai salt production area.

The last time he came here, it was still a wasteland.

At most some common people build houses and live here.

But this time, it has become a regular salt field!

And Li Ke discovered that the salt was drying in the salt field.

At a glance, he could see the brine in the evaporation pond and the salt in the crystallization pond.

"It seems that salt production has already begun!"

Seeing this scene, Li Ke couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face.

This progress is quite fast, a bit beyond his expectations.

In fact, it is not surprising, after all, he taught the people in charge of Haiyan in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

And there are also the construction drawings he gave, as well as the detailed steps for drying the salt.

As long as you do what he says, it's normal to get salty.

"See Your Highness!"

Soon, the person in charge of drying the salt came to Li Ke and saluted Li Ke.

"How is the sun-salting going?"

Li Ke asked him a question.

After all, he just took a look here, and the specific situation is not very clear.

"very smooth!"

"We are making sun-dried salt in strict accordance with the standards and procedures His Highness said, and we have already produced the first batch of finished salt!"

The principal said to Li Ke with a happy face.

When they built the salt fields according to what Li Ke said, and then started drying the first batch of salt, they were still very nervous.

After all, I never thought about the practice of drying salt, and I was actually very uncertain.

However, when the first batch of snow-white salt slowly crystallized in the crystallization pool, they were all stunned!

They never imagined that sea water can be turned into salt without steaming at all, just by exposure to the sun!

After they collected the salt from the crystallization pool, they began to filter and remove impurities according to the standards and procedures given by Li Ke.

After a series of filtration and purification, the salt dried out from the seawater becomes usable edible salt!

They even ate it on purpose and found that the taste was better than the salt they usually eat!

This is because sea salt is pure natural physical production and does not require secondary processing, so it retains the complete crystal structure and nutrients of the salt itself.

Contains richer trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, iron and zinc.

Therefore, sea salt is not just a simple salt, but also the best source of trace elements for the human body.

The most important thing is that the color of the salt is extremely white, very clean, without any impurities!

"Take me to have a look."

Hearing this, Li Ke immediately became interested.

Immediately, the chief took Li Ke and his party to the warehouse where the salt was stored.

What came into view was a small 'snow mountain'!

For the salt heaps are in the shape of hills, and are all white, like snowflakes.

"Try them all."

Li Ke asked the whole group to taste it to see the taste.

Soon, someone put a bowl of salt in a bowl and brought it to them.

Li Ke also dipped a little bit with his finger, then put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"Not bad!"

Li Ke tasted it carefully, and the salt tasted very good.

It tasted slightly better than the salt he was eating now.

Moreover, what satisfied him most was that he actually felt the taste of modern salt!

This shows that the sea salt has been dried very well, and the follow-up treatment is also in place.

Very standard and normative.

It is conceivable that the quality of this salt and the trace elements in it must be in place!

"How about the output?"

Li Ke then asked another very crucial question.

"Your Highness, since we have little experience, we made some mistakes when making the first batch of salt."

"Now the second batch of salt is drying outside. As long as the weather is good, we are confident that we can produce 15 catties of salt per mu per day!"

The principal assured Li Ke confidently.

With the successful experience of the first batch of salt, they can now say that they are full of confidence, and they are very bold in predicting the production of salt!

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but glanced at him in surprise.

Now there are 1 mu of salt fields that have been put into use. Doesn’t this mean that under the condition of fine weather, it can produce 15 catties of salt a day?

You must know that this is directly exposed to the sun, without any cost!

There is no need to pump brine from salt wells, nor to dig salt mines.

You only need to build salt pans, and then you can use the free sea water and the free sun to dry out precious salt!

The output is still so huge!

And the follow-up is still continuing to build the salt field.

After all, the area of ​​the Huaiyan salt production area is very large, and there is still a lot of room for expansion in the future!

Once the entire Huai salt production area is built into a salt field, then he can change the title.

Don't call him King Wu, just call him 'Salt King'!

"While ensuring speed, we must also ensure quality!"

"Salt production must be strictly in accordance with the standards and specifications given by this king. If something goes wrong, don't blame this king for being ruthless!"

Li Ke warned the principal in a very serious tone.

Food safety is the top priority, especially the necessities of life such as salt, and it is even more important to ensure safety.

In modern times, it may also be limited by various laws, and the rules are not good and heavy penalties.

But now it is Datang, if something goes wrong, even if Li Ke executes him directly, there will be no problem.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

When the principal heard this, the smile on his face suddenly subsided, and he nodded solemnly.

"Continue to build salt fields, dry more salt, and preserve it well."

"Next, I need a lot of salt!"

Li Ke gave him a task to make more salt.

"Yes!"

The principal immediately agreed.

After Li Ke looked around at the saltworks, he left.

Now that the salt is in place, it's time to move on to the next step.

He came to the station of the Yangzhou Navy.

"Qu Wenkang, commander of the Yangzhou navy, sees His Highness!"

Qu Wenkang couldn't help being very surprised when he saw Li Ke's sudden arrival.

"General Qu, what are the usual arrangements for the navy?"

Li Ke asked Qu Wenkang directly.

On the first day of his arrival in Yangzhou last time, he met Qu Wenkang at a dinner party. At that time, Qu Wenkang gave him a toast to express his opinion.

"His Royal Highness, because my Tang navy is mighty, and no one around dares to violate the border, so the navy basically focuses on daily training on weekdays."

Qu Wenkang briefly introduced the daily life of the navy to Li Ke.

Hearing this, Li Ke nodded.

The strength of the Tang army in this era is not limited to land.

It is also invincible on the water!

After all, although Datang's shipbuilding technology is relatively backward in Li Ke's view.

But in this era, it is already extremely advanced!

Compared with the ships of other countries, Datang's warships are simply aircraft carriers!

"Since there are no battles on weekdays, let's divide the navy into two teams, one for daily training and one for fishing!"
