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

They stayed in this small village for two days, Yunze's fever recovered on the second day, and the second day was to replenish supplies.Because the local villagers did not have much surplus food, the soldiers went out to hunt to supplement their daily food consumption.

At first, the local villagers were afraid of them like tigers and did not dare to approach them.Later, I saw that they did not disturb their lives, and they exchanged precious salt and cloth for everything they needed.Gradually, they became more courageous, and even dared to approach the soldiers for a chat.

But probably the funniest part is that many families invite the able-bodied soldiers to spend the night in their homes, and the tall ones are especially welcome.

Yunze didn't understand at first, so he asked.

Menis didn't say anything, but Bayi did.

Those people invited these soldiers over, which means... breeding.They are generally families with only daughters, or who decide to let their daughters lead the family. Those girls want better offspring, and they usually choose to find such 'excellent and strong' soldiers to keep their offspring.Not sure if it will succeed, what if it succeeds?

Of course, if it succeeds, it has nothing to do with soldiers.

This is actually a legacy of the matrilineal clan, and it is also to solve the problem of 'deformed children caused by inbreeding'.Because there are too few people in the village and other villages are far away, it is easier to find good and healthy offspring from outsiders.

The morals and ethics of later generations are of course difficult to accept these, but this is an idea that people in this small village came up with to fight against the status quo of life.

Yunze was stunned for a while, then sighed: "It is still necessary to develop the economy and build more roads." After the roads are built, the transportation will be developed, and the communication with other villages will be closer, and maybe the income will be increased along the way. come less and less.

Of course, even though Yunze chose to respect the local customs, emotionally he still couldn't make it through.For the families where the soldiers stayed, Yunze planted an apple tree for them.He didn't know how to define this apple tree. He said it was compensation. He said it was a gift willingly.

"If you have children, the tree is considered a little bit of nutrition. It will grow fruit in three to five years, and you can keep it for yourself or sell it for money."

Yunze ran away after saying this, he felt very weird, like a mother who wiped the ass of a son who messed up in school.

After going back, Yunze said to all the soldiers: "I don't care what happened before or what will happen in the future. In my team, this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen in the future. If there is a girl you like, then you should get married in a serious way. It's not that there are no girls in the team, it doesn't matter if you bring one more. If you don't want to get married, you are not allowed to spend the night at other people's homes.

"If you give a child life and let him/her come into the world, you have a responsibility to him/her. It's not about you just saying 'it's none of my business'. Father, It is a very serious word, you have to feed and clothe your child, you have to teach him how to behave in the world, you have to nurture him to grow up. It is not so easy to have a child and raise a child!"

Because of what happened to him, Yunze especially dislikes irresponsible parents.He had parents as if he had no parents.

In fact, according to Yunze's previous temper, even if he was unhappy, he would not ask others to act according to his own principles.But gradually, the status and power of the Son of God gave him confidence, and sometimes he would do such willful things.

'I don't like it, you can't do this in front of me. '

When Yun Ze said something so seriously, even if some people thought it was meddling and making a big fuss, no one dared to reveal it, let alone disobey.

Along the way, although there were stops in such small villages, this kind of thing never happened again.

They have never encountered such a thing as being attacked by wolves in the rain again, and the journey to the port city where Prince Sham belongs was safe and sound.The city magistrate was waiting at the door early to greet him, as was the general of the navy who was stationed here all year round.

"Welcome, Your Highness the Son of God."

Numerous city officials picked him up and dropped him off along the way, and Yunze was numb. He really had no idea, so he politely said 'Thank you,' and ran towards Prince Sham's mansion without looking back.There is a letter sent by Prince Sham before, this place has been cleaned and ready to move in at any time.

They rested for a day, and when their bodies were full of energy, Yunze called the child to his eyes: "It's time for you to go home, your father misses you very much."

After going this way, the child already knew that he was going home, and also knew that there would be a navy to take him back here, so he nodded and thanked Yun Ze in his unproficient Thai language: "Thank you, Your Highness, Son of God."

Yunze patted his head: "I'll ask Amei to pack up." Bring all the candy the child likes.

Amei packed a lot of things for the child, and Yunze gave them to the general of the navy. On the day they left the port, he stood on the rough port paved with stones.

Then he saw for the first time the great ships of the age.

Visually, it is more than 20 meters long. It looks like a banana or a dragon boat. It mainly depends on the crew to paddle forward and backward.There is a cabin, which is not very big, so I don’t think it can hold many things, and it will definitely not be comfortable to live in.

Yun Ze felt that this kind of ship could be improved, but he didn't know ships. Although he had a sea ship in his hand, to be honest, he didn't know how to operate it.So, do what you are good at first.

For example, build a salt farm?

He has already forgotten why there are so many things about Yantian in his head, maybe it is mentioned in the novel, maybe he has watched the video material, in short, he probably knows what the salt is.The specific standards can be revised, and the general process is still clear.

Find an open mudflat, it is best to hide it, don't let people come and go like a sieve.

There are many suitable places here, because except for the location of the port, other places are still completely undeveloped.He found three very suitable places, and then measured the water volume scale of rising and falling tides every day.

In fact, such things as sun drying salt, that’s what it is when you talk about it, and it’s easy to understand.It's just that the firewood is replaced by sunlight, and the cauldron is replaced by a flat and shallow salt pond.

They're not building salt ponds right away, they're testing them.They need to artificially create a small salt pond with 'salt mud' inside, which can absorb the salt in seawater.The salt mud needs to be loosened with a rake, then enter the sea water, then dry, and then absorb the salt...until the salt content in the salt mud is very high.Just take out the salt mud, soak it in sea water, and filter out the brine with high salinity.

Whether the salinity of the brine is sufficient, you can put an egg and see how it rises and falls.

The brine was poured into a clay pot, and they used a fired flat pottery pot to test the efficiency of the sun drying the salt and test the most suitable depth.

High-concentration brine has a high rate of salt production, and you can see white salt in the sun for a day.

The experiment was very successful.

In fact, some people thought about drying out salt in seawater before, but they missed a step and failed.That is the step of 'salt mud'.It would have been a year of the monkey to produce salt from the original seawater, and it would not be efficient.However, using the characteristics of 'salt mud' to absorb salt, it can quickly produce salt.

Yunze thought about it, if he had the chance to return to modern times, he would definitely make rainbows for those crazy novels and videos, and thank them for spreading the wisdom of civilization.

After a successful trial, selected addresses begin to be bulldozed.Huge reefs are removed, small gaps are filled, and a relatively flat area is created as much as possible.The slaves who were pulled to work were numb to their work, and occasionally one or two asked carefully, but they couldn't get any news. Few people knew about it. They thought that a seaside fortification was going to be built here.

Fortifications need to be repaired, because drying salt is a secret, and this side must be fenced off, there will be 24-hour patrols in the sea, and there are walls more than ten meters high on land.

The salt field is divided into three parts.

Closer to the coastline are the salt pans, where the salt mud is dried and turned.Separated by stones and cement, each piece is like a field, except that these fields produce high-concentration salt mud.

Then there is a place where they dissolve the salt mud and filter it into a high-concentration brine.

Finally, these brines are poured into the sun-dried salt field built with pure stones and cement. As long as there is sunshine, the salt in it will be continuously produced and supplied to the whole country of Taixi.

"This is a miracle!" The mayor was stunned when he saw all this. He never thought that it would be so easy for human beings to obtain salt.

The white salt precipitated out, turning the salt field into white, like snow in winter.These salts are snow-white, without sand or impurities, and without bitter taste, they are the best salt.

The city magistrate was about to cry with joy, even though this place was directly owned by the king after it was established, he couldn't collect these taxes, and he didn't dare to collect them.But think about it, the city he manages will replace Yancheng as the largest salt production place in Taixi, how proud it is?

Yunze is also very happy, one tenth of this is his dividend.

In addition, he exchanged for the pricing power of "common people's salt". The maximum selling price of a bowl of salt should not exceed the price of ten bowls of wheat with the same capacity.In the future, the king will directly build 'salt specialty stores' in various cities to sell the sea salt produced here. It will definitely be more expensive if it is further away, but it is the most expensive, and it cannot be more expensive than the price set by Yunze.

This price is the current price of low quality salt.However, considering that the cost of drying sea salt is very low, the profit is still very large, even greater than that of low-quality salt.

At the same time, the first "official salt store" was opened in the port. Local residents can buy high-quality white salt at one third of the price of low-quality salt (advantage of origin), One catty per person per month.

The residents of the port are not crazy yet, but the businessmen who come and go here are about to go crazy.

"Really? Such cheap high-quality salt? Is Taixi Kingdom doing charity?"

So a new legend began again. It was said that someone saw the god son of Taixi and waved his hand on the beach. The sea water rolled up from the sea and evaporated automatically, turning into grains of snow-white salt.

Merchants also want to buy this kind of high-quality salt, and they can make a lot of money by selling it in any place.However, the purchase limit of merchants is lower. With the certificate of regular merchants issued by the port, a caravan can buy less than ten catties.

With this amount, it is definitely not good to use it to make money, that is to say, it is okay to use it for your own use.

The merchants wanted to bribe the city magistrate to increase the quota.Not to mention that the quota was set by the king and the Son of God, even if it wasn't, the city magistrate would not dare to mess around.The blood of Yancheng city officials is not yet dry.Besides, did you just look at Miko with a smile without seeing him?

Salt cannot be used as a major export commodity, and they made it very clear from the beginning.

His Majesty the King and Yunze have unprecedentedly agreed: salt, bronze and grain, these three will never become the main foreign commodities.

Compared with cosmetics, salt is a necessity of life, and it must be given priority to domestic supply instead of being sold at a high price.This is the same as food. You have to eat enough before you consider selling the excess for other things.

Of these three, one is health (salt), one is strength (bronze), and the third is foundation (grain).If one is in chaos, the country will be in chaos, just like the story of the grain-for-cotton story.

After things were almost done here, Yunze and the others were ready to return.As a result, everyone in the city came to see him off, which shocked Yunze, because he had been here for more than four months, basically, he was either in Prince Sham's castle or Yanchi, and he had never seriously looked at this city. , the residents are basically not familiar.

There are many merchants in the port, serious merchants from other countries, spies, and pirates... There are many, very confusing.So for his safety, he has to accompany many people when he travels, so he doesn't like to go out.

He doesn't know anyone here, and he doesn't go out. Why do the residents here think of sending him off?

"The cloud salt was made for His Highness." Meinis said with a smile, "Now the poorest families can afford salt."

"What salt?" Yunze had never heard of this name.

Menis smiled and told the story of Shenzi cast a spell, and the sea water dried itself into salt.I heard that a new version has been derived recently, saying that the Son of God cried at the seaside when he saw that the people could not afford salt, and that the sea was full of salt.The Sea God felt the sincerity of the Son of God, and decided to provide the people with high-quality and high-quality salt, so this cheap high-quality salt appeared.

Because it doesn't sound good to call it 'Shenzi salt' directly, they thought that 'cloud' is the divine name of the son of God, and the salt is as white as clouds, so they named it 'cloud salt'.

Yunze: ...
