Chapter 922: The Younger Sister Who Came In Late

China has a very early history of using seawater to make salt, which can be traced back to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but the strange thing is that the history of drying salt is very short. The real method of drying salt did not appear until the Song Dynasty. Use firewood to burn seawater to get the coarse sea salt you need.

As for coarse salt, edible salt can be produced through secondary processing, such as dissolving, filtering, removing impurities, and carbon filtering.

Of course, it is incomparable with modern refined salt.

But in this era, those are considered good salt.

"How to dry the salt?" Lu Zhi asked.

"It's very simple. Dig a pool, put in seawater and let the sun dry it. The seawater in the first-level pool is exposed to the sun for a day, and then put it into the second-level pool. By analogy, after passing through 9 pools in a row, the seawater at this time becomes For the brine, put it in the tenth pond, the seawater will condense and crystallized salt will appear, and you can start harvesting now." Jiang Hao said.

Lu Zhi's eyes widened, "Is it that simple?"

"It's not complicated at all, it's just that no one knows this method." Jiang Hao smiled.

"But what if it rains, isn't it in vain?" Lu Zhi asked.

"Indeed, so choose a time when the weather is good. Of course, sometimes the weather may not be good for more than ten days in a row. If there is heavy rain, we can put the last few brines in the brine pool in advance to seal it. When the weather is good It will save a lot of trouble, but after all, drying salt is a job that depends on the sky." Jiang Hao said.

"Then it's better to boil salt." Lu Zhi felt that it was not very safe, and it was easy to fall short.

Jiang Hao shook his head, "But do you know that the output of sun-dried salt, if done well, will be hundreds of times that of boiled salt, and it doesn't need to consume too much manpower, and more importantly, it doesn't need to use a lot of firewood, which is green and environmentally friendly. .”

"Environmental friendly?"

"Yes, environmental protection."

"Is environmental protection important?"

Jiang Hao's face became very serious, and he said: "Environmental protection is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very important!!!"

Lu Zhi was shocked by Jiang Hao's long list of environmental protection, and nodded in horror, "Yeah, I know that environmental protection is very important, so what do you plan to do?"

"You call a group of people over, 500 people are fine, and I will instruct them to build a salt pond here." Jiang Hao said.

"But my lord, why do we need to spend so much trouble just to stay here for a year?" Lu Zhi asked.

"Little fool, wouldn't it be nice to give this property to my father-in-law later? This is a big business with huge profits. In the future, the Lu family will be rich in the world. The porcelain kiln is too small after all, and the government will also manufacture a lot of porcelain in the future. This Yantian Business, let me treat it as a betrothal gift to my father-in-law. Who told someone to be greedy and want two beautiful, charming, smart, caring and capable daughters? I won’t give more betrothal gifts. Guilty." Jiang Hao opened his mouth full of sweet words.

Lu Zhi's heart was about to fly, his eyes looked at Jiang Hao, and countless peach hearts spurted out from it.

"Mr. Xie Lang loves Pheasant and Susu so much." Lu Zhi said softly.

Jiang Hao stretched out his hand to pinch Lu Zhi's cheek, and said with a smile, "I can't help it. Who would make someone feel ashamed? I'm afraid my little secretary will be angry after being scolded all night for being playful."

Lu Zhi smiled sweetly, "The pheasant is just playing with his petty temper, how can he be really angry, and he dare not be angry with your husband."

But then Lu Zhi's small face showed a slightly mournful look, looked at Jiang Hao's eyes and said weakly: "My family knows that the Lord loves the Pheasant and Susu, but we are only concubines after all, and I only hope that the Lord will not despise us in the future The sisters are old and fading, and they are thrown away."

Jiang Hao frowned slightly, "How is it possible, Pheasant is thinking too much."

Jiang Hao knew that this was Lu's pheasant's biggest worry. Back then, when Jiang Hao and Lu's family first met, Mr. Lu asked Jiang Hao if he had a family. Jiang Hao said that he was already engaged. Concubine, climb up this big tree like him.

Now Susu is also with Jiang Hao. Although she doesn't have a bridal chamber, she is already his concubine in name.

But the status of concubines in ancient times was very low. In ancient China, monogamy was always practiced, and it has continued to modern times. As for concubines, they are not men’s wives at all. After giving birth to a child, the status will be improved because of the existence of the child.

Jiang Hao even felt that the ancient concubine system was an inhumane, cruel and ruthless system. It was not as good as the system of taking four wives in some countries. At least those wives were legal and had the same status.

Jiang Hao held Lu Zhi in his arms, put his mouth close to her ear and whispered: "After we go out and settle down, the gentleman will announce that the concubine system will be completely abolished and changed to polygamy. Each man can only take four wives at most. , if the quota of four wives is used up, they will not be able to take any more for life."

Lu Zhi's heart trembled wildly.

She was extremely smart, and she heard a lot of meaning from Jiang Hao's words.

Announced the abolition of the concubine system and changed it to polygamy,

Who has this right, I am afraid only the king of a country has this right.

She had had countless conjectures before, but now that she heard Jiang Hao express this meaning, she felt that her previous conjectures might be true, and Mr. Lang has a very big heart.

She then thought about it again, if the husband became the king and changed the system, then she would be the wife, which would be great news for her, and in this way, wouldn't she be the queen?

There was an unconcealable smile on Lu Zhi's face.

Jiang Hao let go of her, looked at Lu Zhi with a smirk on his face, and flicked his fingers on her smooth forehead, "Stop smirking, there are many, many things you have to do in the future, all of which are planning for our future, you know ."

"The pheasant knows that the pheasant will do things more, more, and harder." Lu Zhi said with a smile.

Just now, Lu Zhi has already regarded what Jiang Hao said as her highest goal in the future, and she will work hard for that goal, and she will kill anyone who dares to stop her, hee hee.

Jiang Hao patted her forehead again, "Dare to imitate me, and be careful not to stutter."

The two laughed and laughed in the car.

When the two of them finished their fight, Lu Zhi looked at Jiang Hao and suddenly asked, "Mr. Lang, why are there four?"

"What four?"

"Why does the lord stipulate that he can take up to four wives, me, Susu, and the princess Yushu who has never met, there are only three. Does the lord have any other candidates?"

Jiang Hao hugged Lu Zhi to his lap and pumped his butt.

Can't find a reason, let's spank.

A month passed in a flash, and everything went very smoothly. Although there were many things, when Jiang Hao arranged everything and arranged suitable subordinates to do things, the progress of all parties was very fast.

The governor of the East China Sea was ordered by Jiang Hao and dared not neglect. He recruited five or six hundred sailors in one month. Cao Shen arranged all these people on the 30 built ships and began to train them.

After the shipyard finished building the ten buildings, it stopped building buildings. Now more than 6,000 craftsmen are working hard to build treasure ships and tooth ships.

Xiao He also sent a group of people. There were hundreds of crew members, and more were female slaves and orphans. For the first time, Xiao He came to meet Jiang Hao. The first batch of female slaves was more than two thousand, and there were orphans There are more than a thousand people, and there may be more in the future.

Jiang Hao calculated according to the number of ships. Excluding the space occupied by supplies, he can bring 60,000 to 70,000 people. Now the army is 6,000, the craftsmen are more than 6,000, and the servants are more than 3,000. The crew needs about 5,000. Counting the craftsmen in the factory, he will definitely bring a large number of these people, and he will be able to build ships outside in the future.

Calculated in this way, it is almost enough to find 20,000 female slaves and 20,000 orphans.

After saying this, Xiao He told Jiang Hao a piece of news, "My lord, I just got the news that not long ago, the First Emperor announced to the world that Mr. Fusu was officially registered as the crown prince, and at the same time, he ordered Mr. Fusu to participate in some government affairs. Now Mr. Fusu has been removed from the government. The northern frontier has rushed to Xianyang, and it is estimated that it has not arrived yet."

Jiang Hao was taken aback when he heard the news.

Fusu was established as the prince.

And put him in politics.

In history, this has never happened before. Why did Qin Shihuang not establish a prince? In fact, this is also his selfishness. Establishing a prince means that he is arranging for future generations. He is unwilling to admit that he will die, but he never thought that he would die so early in the end. , so suddenly.

In fact, on the parade road, Qin Shihuang fell ill and when he realized that he was about to die, he had already made many arrangements, such as sending the convoy to the northern border to meet Fusu, and writing the edict to pass the throne at the end, but he never expected that, In the end, because of Zhao Gao, the Ying family was ruined.

It was said that Qin Shihuang didn't like the eldest son, that he was weak and believed in Confucianism, and Fusu was always against him, but in Qin Shihuang's heart, he always believed that the eldest son Fusu was the best candidate to inherit the throne.

Sending Fusu to the frontier and staying with Meng Tian, ​​who controls an army of 300,000, is actually a kind of protection. Who can move Fusu under the protection of an army of 300,000.

But what happened later, there was a series of dramatic changes. Zhao Gao falsely preached the imperial decree and asked Fusu to commit suicide, but Meng Tian stopped him, but Fusu still stubbornly swung his sword to kill himself, and Meng Tian was in vain.

Now that Fusu has been established as the prince, he will return to Xianyang to participate in government affairs. This way, Fusu's status will be guaranteed at once, and it may be difficult for others to shake him.

It seems that the first emperor has made a decision and wants to let the country enter a state of recuperation. For stabilizing the country, Fusu is indeed the best candidate.

However, Fusu has always liked Confucianism, so he didn't know what impact it would have on the development of Taoism. Jiang Hao thought about it, and suddenly smiled. If the development of a sect is too smooth, it will quickly become bloated and arrogant, and even become domineering.

Someone beat him, maybe he could understand himself better, and thus become more adaptable to the society. He was ready to leave, and the Holy See was handed over to Emperor Shihuang. As for the future, it depends on his development.

Broken words, glass broken shadows, autumn wind and slow words, whatever the joys and sorrows, people must learn to grow up by themselves, and learn to face all the hardships and twists and turns.

The same goes for a sect.

Another month passed in a blink of an eye.

The 30 large ships have been prepared, the crews are skillful in handling them, and the supplies are ready. The time has entered September, and Jiang Hao said to Lv Zhi: "Phee, everything is ready, Mr. Wang is ready to go to Goguryeo, take care of the family affairs. "

Lu Zhi nodded, "I wish you all the best, and bring Sister Yushu back as soon as possible."

Jiang Hao smiled, "How do you know it's my sister?"

"It's my younger sister who came in late." Lu Zhi said with a sly smile.
