The application of King Zhou was approved without any suspense.

After all, throwing him into Huangzhong is indeed a bit too cruel.

Just salt industry.

It's a source of livelihood for him.

Besides, it is also a good thing that he can really develop a salt pond in Huangzhong.

At least it enriched the salt supply in Longyou and Gansu.

Just pay taxes.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him an imperial edict, which allowed King Zhou to specialize in green salt. The marketing scope included the jurisdiction of Xingdusi in Shaanxi, Longyou, Fengxiang, and other prefectures along the coast of the Yellow River to Hukou section. At this time, the salt industry was divided into districts, and it was stipulated wherever it was eaten. For example, the part of Guanzhong in Shaanxi included Hanzhong, which was salt removal, which was the salt in Hedong Salt Pond.

The various prefectures in Longyou are spiritual salt.

That is, the Wuzhong Huamachi Salt Lake, so one of the three-sided governors in the Ming Dynasty was the Huamachi.

There are also some small ones, such as Li County and Zhang County Yanjing.

These low yields can be ignored.

More than 100,000 kilograms a year, it is basically digested locally.

There are roughly two parts in Shaanxi. Guanzhong eats salt and Lingyu eats salt. Selling salt across regions is a serious crime. If the Qing salt of King Zhou is really developed, then it can rely on the Yellow River water transportation to drift downstream, and how much it can be sold until Hukou depends on its ability...

These places are not specialized in him, and they continue to sell them like spiritual salt.

He is just a supplement.

"That's all!"

Yang Feng looked at the imperial edict brought back by King Zhou with satisfaction.

"But Xiao Wang still has something to do, and he needs the ambassador's guidance."

The King of Zhou said humbly.

He seemed to have forgotten that he was driven to Huangzhong, and it was mainly because of this guy who cheated him.

King Zhou was also a smart man.

Know when to let go of the burden of the past...

Or from the heart.

"Please speak, lord."

Yang Feng said.

He was still very satisfied with the fact that he could get a vassal king for Qinghai. This was not a simple problem as a royal mansion. There was only one Xining Guard in the entire Hehuang River, and even this Xining Guard was actually a large part of the Mongols. One of the hereditary commanders of the Xining Guard was that Duoer, the right chief of the Gansu Xingtai in the Yuan Dynasty, lost his bond. His family was later given the surname Qi, and Qi Bingzhong, who died in Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty, was his descendant. Now two more were blocked, and there were still two Han guards, which were more than 10,000 families. In addition, the royal mansion belonged to it, it can be said that the Huangzhong area was quickly restored to sinicization.

Just a little poor.

This is indeed admitted.

After all, it is not the Tang Dynasty now. Even Huangzhong is a rich agricultural area even if the climate is warm. Huangzhong is really poor at this time, so it is appropriate to add some source of livelihood to them.

"Can the ambassador give Xiao Wang a glimpse of the business road to Uszang in Huangzhong?"

The King of Zhou said with a smile.

"King, the vassal ministers have an affair with the vassal ministers?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Ambuyer, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I'm afraid no one will care about Xiao Wang when he gets there.

Besides, Xiao Wang has nearly 20,000 households, so there must be a way to eat. Although there is a salt pond, what if the salt pond is not enough to support it? Don't worry, if Xiao Wang goes to Xining, the bank will naturally open to Xining."

The King of Zhou said.

This means we can work together.

"Okay, since the king spoke, it would be difficult for Yang to hide anymore. But the king must pay attention. Xining is indeed barely able to live, but it would be different when you walk to Us. The terrain is extremely high. In fact, the place where Xining is located is nearly a thousand feet taller than the capital city based on the sea surface. Thousand feet is a hurdle. After passing this hurdle, we who live in low places can't stand it. We call it altitude sickness, and we need an adaptation process and dare not get sick. Once we get sick, even if it is just an ordinary cold, we can easily lose our lives.

Therefore, you cannot take a bath by following this path.

In short, there are many taboos, not just rushing to carry a team.

The distance is not important.”

Yang Feng said.

"Amusement, even if you live in the capital, ordinary colds can easily kill your life. As for the taboos in business, it is necessary, even if people die on the road, it is inevitable. Who is a businessman who doesn't have to do with his head?"

The King of Zhou took it calmly.

"That's fine. There are three routes to the plateau from Xining, one towards the Duogandu Commander, and the business road from Sichuan to Uszang. One goes directly, and the other goes west. After leaving the plateau, you will be connected to the business road from Suzhou to India. The three routes are not easy to walk, and most places along the way are unmanned areas, but if India can be connected, then the profit will be huge, that is, those who are brave and those who are starved to death..."

Yang Feng then instilled the concept of seeking wealth and danger into King Zhou.

In fact, if this route is really needed to be developed, King Zhou can really benefit.

The key is certainly not Uszang.

Instead, it connects the business road to India from land through Uszang.

Although sea routes have been developed, we must understand that sea routes cover the coastal areas of India in this era, which are difficult to cover inland, especially the Indus River Basin, which is traditionally the core area of ​​India. What's more, India continued to war, and the Sultanate of Delhi alone changed several dynasties. After all, even in the 19th century, Britain controlled India and did not delay trade on these ancient trade routes. In short, it would be best to let him go on this road.

King Zhou finally left with a large bag of information and gained a lot.

“He’s something wrong!

If he doesn't want to endure hardship, he can just withdraw his vassal and return to the capital at that time. Why do he have to make himself so hard?

There are indeed a little more three guards. Even if you can't support them, you can ask the court to sack them. Yun Yu will definitely be willing to sack and withdraw another guard for him. As long as he is willing, he can enjoy his happiness in the future. The place in Xining is not good, and it is boring to leave it for his descendants. When he returns to the capital to be the Prince of Taiping, his descendants will be bound to be rich and elegant.

Why bother yourself so much?”

The little princess looked at her fifth brother's back with confusion.

"Don't give up!

How can a man be so unambitious?

After all, he is also a vassal king. Since he has a fiefdom that can be operated, even if he is a little poor, as long as he has a land and a population, why can't he work hard to break out a foundation? Your father, who is begging for food, can live in thousands of miles of land. At least he has a vast fiefdom in Hehuang and a population of three guards. Even if he can't rule the world and work hard to become a Kucha Kingdom, he can still do it."

Yang Feng said.

"Don't always say that my dad is begging for food."

The little princess protested.

"But he is the beggar!"

Yang Feng said.

The little princess was speechless.

But that's what King Zhou really thought.

The first step is to allow his three guards to gain a foothold in Xining.

Real land reclamation is actually enough.

Although Huangzhong is poor, the agriculture of 20,000 households can still be sustained. After all, it is convenient to irrigate and is surrounded by mountains. The agriculture of river valleys will be very developed, but there may be less arable land. However, with green salt, there will be a steady stream of funds. It is not easy to deal with with money. Renovation can be used to reclaim wasteland. Several garrisons in western Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty relied on high mountains and melt water in the Daliangshan area. By transforming farmland, rice can be planted on a large scale. Even if rice cannot be grown in Huangzhong due to climatic conditions, wheat and millet are still completely stress-free. Then, with a strong legion, the status of a vassal king is enough to give him domineering freedom, and it is OK to steal the surrounding tribes.

Although the surrounding tribes were already guards of the imperial court at this time, he was a vassal king.

According to convention, he went to control these guards.

So he is equivalent to King Qinghai.

First subdue these guardian tribes, then open up business roads, own agricultural areas and salt fields, and control the surrounding pastoral areas...

Altan Khan’s karma!

The King of Zhou was obviously full of confidence.

Then, with this foundation, I watched the disputes in the Central Plains in Hehuang, and if I had the chance, I would sweep across Longyou. Even if I could not see the magical artifact, I would still have great hope for the king to break Longyou.

Of course, if he likes it, go do it!

Yang Feng likes such enterprising young people.

He is only in his thirties and his future is still far away. In history, he had to live for more than 30 years. More than 30 years is probably enough for him to unify the plateau. King Zhou was completely kicked out of the Central Plains, and he will take his migratory army to embark on a long journey to Xining, but his industry in Henan will definitely be retained. The same is true for King Jin in Taiyuan. The vas fields have indeed been replaced, but other industries, especially real estate, shops, and private land purchased outside the vassal field, must still be theirs.

So even though people leave, these industries can still provide them with considerable income.

Although the Zhou Palace was changed to the Song Temple, the Jin Palace was still a family property of the King of Jin family. Therefore, Yang Feng was urging the Princess to rent out the royal palace, which was a big place after all.

At this point, there are no more powerful vassals in the north.

The two kings of Jin and Zhou dynasties moved to the vassals, the two kings of Qi and Lu were fools and the other was underage. Although the fief of King Yan was still in Peiping, he had not returned for many years. He is currently devoted to studying navigation. Moreover, he was obviously full of confidence in the world map given to him by Yang Feng, but he seemed to have no secular desire for the Ming Dynasty. After all, for a person who likes to expand territory, looking at the place of the Ming Dynasty on the world map, he always felt like a beast in a cage, and he felt that he had nowhere to vent his energy.

The King of Liao and others are remote and cannot threaten the capital.

Only the King of Qin is left.

So the next one is the King of Qin, but you have to find an opportunity for such things. And Yang Feng has a big fun to watch, so he is not interested in harming the King of Qin again.

Gongyuan.
