Guo Huaiyi has been walking on the Southeast Sea for many years and has heard of the method of drying salt. It is said that there was salt drying in Fujian before, and later changed between drying salt and frying salt in a pot. Most of the time, the way to make salt in the world is to direct seawater to the brine pool, and then frying salt in a pot and frying salt in a pot and frying salt.

Although Wan Jun does not understand the technique of salt drying method, the general principle is clear. The so-called salt drying method is to lure sea water into one pool, and then lead it to another baking pool after exposure to the sun. As the water in the pool continues to evaporate, salt can be obtained in the end.

Speaking of salt drying, Wan Jun felt that compared to reclaiming fields to the north, this could be tried as soon as possible. It was August, and the sun was extremely vicious, and it was a good time to dry salt.

After everyone returned to Chikan, Wanjun inspected nearby, hoping to find a good place to dry salt.

Fifteen miles northwest of Chikan Town, Wanjun saw a beach and did it at will. He transferred hundreds of soldiers to dig a big pit about a foot deep and a length of more than ten feet wide on the beach.

Not long after the big pit was dug out, a lot of water was seeping out of the pit. Even if Wan Jun had not dried the salt, he knew that it was just leaking out. Don’t expect to dry out the salt. You must harden the pond.

To harden, concrete cement must be included. However, Wan Jun is a soldier and does not know how to burn cement. Wan Jun remembered the space capsule she was riding in, and the computer that controlled the experimental cabin. It is very likely that there is data cached in the large amount of data.

Not to mention cement and concrete, if the computer in the experimental cabin is here, I don’t know how much black technology there is in the cache data. Unfortunately, when the experimental cabin was in, I didn’t have enough strength. Now that I have the ability, the experimental cabin was robbed by the Hu people again.

Wan Jun said with sincerity, "After defeating the Hu people and regaining the experimental cabin, using the computer cached information, the entire China is probably going to run into the industrial era."

Thinking about the industrial age, the troops couldn't help but start to think randomly. If China's black technology emerged one after another, leading the world for four hundred years, think about seeing an armored army reach Europa, in front of planes and tanks, then what are the British and the Dutch, they are all a group of ending things.

If another aircraft carrier is sent to North America, the United States may be killed in a womb.

While he was thinking about it, Guo Huaiyi said, "Head of the People's Republic of China, this pool needs to be covered with a layer of tiles to prevent leakage. It would be even better if there was iron plate."

Wan Jun said, "Is there a iron plate in Chikan Town?"

Guo Huaiyi said, "There is no iron plate, but the tiles are easy to get!"

Guo Huaiyi was very enthusiastic and immediately returned to Chikan Town to find tiles. However, the burning tiles here were mostly used to cover the roof with curves. If you want to lay them on the bottom of the pool, you need a larger and more straight tiles.

The Hanmin who burned the tiles was extremely respectful to Guo Huaiyi. After listening to Guo Huaiyi's explanation, he smiled and said, "What the lord said is similar to the cellar bricks I burned in the past, but it is easy to deal with. You can burn hundreds of them in just a few days."

Guo Huaiyi shook his head, "Hundreds are too small, at least a few thousand yuan!"

The tilesman opened his mouth and said, "Big, I don't know anything about it. The main reason is that a tiles in a kiln can be placed at most a hundred yuan. If there is too much, it will not be burned well. The biggest problem is not burning. The most time-consuming thing in making tiles is to refine mud and drain the blank. If there is no tiles, you don't have to burn them."

Guo Huaiyi said, "This is easy to deal with. Call all the masters who can burn tiles in Chikan Town. In addition, I will send three hundred people to train you.

Mud-pulled billets, at least 5,000 in three days."

The tilesman said, "Three hundred are too few, dig some new kilns for two hundred. If you burn more than a dozen kilns together, it should be done."

Guo Huaiyi laughed and said, "It's up to you, manpower is not a problem!"

In the evening, the sun had already set, the sky to the west was covered with red glow, and the heat in Chikan Town was still there. Wanjun lived in the second-story bay of Rezhalan City, which was next to the bay, and the sea breeze could barely reduce the heat.

Looking through the basin, the six new warships never stopped for a moment. With the assistance of the Zheng family sailors, they were clumsyly practicing various maneuvers on the water surface of the bay.

According to the current progress, in about two months, the first fleet can be formed, six new double-decker warships, each equipped with thirty-eight heavy artillery, and in the seas near coastal defense and Taiwan, even the Dutch counterattack will have the power to fight.

Wan Jun couldn't help thinking that by next summer, the second or even the third batch of warships could be launched. At that time, a fleet would be sent to Dalian to restrain it from the side of the Qing Dynasty, or even directly into Liaodong from the Liao River. The battle situation in the north would suddenly become clear and the expulsion of the Tartars was just around the corner.

Three days later, Guo Huaiyi lived up to his trust and burned a total of 6,000 tile bricks for Wan Jun, which were different from ordinary tile and bricks. This tile brick has no curvature and the thickness is the same as that of ordinary tile, but the length and width are three or four ordinary tiles on the top.

The soldiers used ox carts to pull bricks onto the beach, and the craftsmen and glutinous rice mud powder were paved with tiled bricks.

After working hard for two days, the entire twenty-foot-meter-long brine pool was finally laid out, and then two more salt pools that were ten feet long were dug out one foot away from the sea.

After two days of drying, the brine pool was filled with a large pool of sea water while the tide was rising. The troops were excited to look at the large pool of sea water, as if they saw a large pool of silver. This was the first attempt to dry salt. If it could be successful, many problems could be solved.

When the sun was exposed to the brine pool, everyone was not idle. After two salt pools, four salt pools were built, and after the four salt pools were completed, everything was finally completed.

The seawater in the brine pool is exposed to the sun for a day and becomes brine with higher salt content. Before the tide rises in the evening, manpower is transferred to the salt pool behind the pool, and the two salt pools take turns to accumulate brine.

After two days of exposure to the sun, many white crystals in the brine in the salt pond can be seen with naked eyes, and manpower transfers the brine to four salt ponds.

After being exposed to the sun for three or two days, the moisture gradually disappeared, and the crystallized salt has spread over the bottom of the pond. Manpower shovels out the salt at the bottom of the pond for a day, and white silver will spread throughout the drying yard.

In less than ten days, nearly a thousand kilograms of salt were produced. Zheng Chenggong, Guo Huaiyi and others were surprised and came to Wan Jun with the produced salt, and said happily, "The Head of State, there are really salt, hundreds or thousands of kilograms of salt!"

Wan Jun could not have thought that he just knew the principle, and he could actually succeed in one go. He reached out and dipped some salt and tasted it. Although it was a bit bitter, the familiar salty taste on the tip of his tongue, "It's salt, it's done!"

Guo Huaiyi has been trading at sea for many years and is very clear about the relationship. He said excitedly, "This is really a great joy. You should know that a pound of salt on the market costs as little as ten cents of silver, and the expensive ones cost two taels of silver. Today, our salt will not exceed two cents, and the cost difference is more than a hundred times."

Zheng Chenggong also

"The salt drying farm does not require collective work. As long as the weather is good, a civilian can dry two hundred kilograms of salt a day. According to the market price, it costs at least 200 taels. A salt drying pond can get a thousand taels of silver in two days, which is simply a loss of silver from the sky."

Wan Jun said, "Since you have produced salt, you can buy foreigners and cultivate the fields northward."

Guo Huai smiled and said, "Salt is a scarce thing in the foreign tribe. As long as we have cheap salt, we can buy all the foreign tribes without even giving them thatch."

According to Wan Jun's plan, Guo Huaiyi immediately ordered people to join the foreigners. Wan Jun and Zheng Chenggong focused their main energy on fleet training. After more than ten days of drilling, the six warships became more and more smooth.

On the third day, a foreigner appeared on the north side of Chikan Town. After receiving the news, Wan Jun was curious about the appearance of the foreigner and went to watch with the soldiers.

That person had dealt with Guo Huaiyi in the past, and while gesturing, he expressed in broken Chinese, "Change?"

Guo Huaiyi is different from the past transactions. Today, he is extremely casual. He ordered people to bring a table and placed a horizontal chair. He warmly greeted the people to sit down, carried out a pot of the treasured wine, and poured a bowl of them for several people.

Several foreigners tasted it and drank it all. They stared at the pot of wine with their eyes shining brightly. Guo Huaiyi poured a bowl of them for the foreigners, and then stopped pouring them. The foreigners did not drink often, and when they got drunk for a while, they made a mistake.

Several fans stared at the wine pot with unsatisfactory satisfaction. The leading man had not forgotten why he came and gestured, "Can you change it? Salt and rice are good."

Guo Huaiyi said, "Switch, I have everything you want, what do you have?"

The fan waved his hand and several fan took out all the deer skin and mountain goods he had carried. "How many?"

Guo Huai looked at it with a look of about three deer skins, a few furs from other animals, and some mountain products. "It's too little. I'll give you at most three kilograms of salt and fifteen kilograms of rice."

The leading man heard this and shook his head, shaking his head, pulling down the deer skin and mountain goods from behind his back, "There are so much deer skin, more salt."

It is not easy for foreigners to carry goods down the mountain. In order to exchange for some essential goods for the tribe, it is basically impossible to carry things back. Hanmin also decided to eat this and often lower the price of mountain goods. Foreigners had no other choice. They looked like a profiteer, "Now there are discounts everywhere, and fewer people buy deer skin, which is worthless!"

The people in the world were unwilling to accept it, but they were helpless, "Add a little more, add a little more?"

Guo Huaiyi said, "There is a valuable deal you can do or not? You can exchange a lot of salt and food."

The man said happily, "Daguan, you talk about business."

Guo Huaiyi said, "We want to repair ships and fight. You cut us the wood. The price is much more expensive than deer skin!"

The stranger gestured, "Trees, you can't beat them."

Guo Huai said, "You can use the axe and saw first, and the price can be paid for by wood!"

Several fans looked at each other, and the leader said, "Okay!"

After saying that, he pointed to the wine pot and said, "Add some wine!"

Guo Huaiyi was in a good mood and gave the remaining wine pot to a few people, and asked someone to bring an axe and a saw. The people were shaking their drinks and returned to the north with the salt and rice they had received.
