Chapter 436

The Dutch were scared away by the fleet, and the atmosphere in the government was warm.

Yang Chengye was most excited. Xiao Ming said that. He was more and more happy and said, "Your Highness, really?"

Nowadays, the ports of Dayu are basically in the south. Everyone knows the important role of ports in a place. If Dengzhou can become a prosperous port, it will soon become a prosperous city in the future.

As a governor of Dengzhou, he naturally loved to hear and see.

"Of course it's true, but it's only when general Niu Zhen and Yue Yun capture Ryukyu." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Yang Chengye stood up and said to Niu Zhen and Yue Yun, "two generals, the future of Dengzhou depends on two generals."

"There's no need for yang to salute. This is what we should do." Niu Zhen said with a smile.

The completion of the warship means that Xiao Ming can control the sea area near Dengzhou, which is another large area of sea territory for Xiao Ming. He said: "from then on, where our warships pass is the sea area of our state of Dayu. Yang Cishi, you can't just see the port. In fact, Dengzhou has a lot of wealth in front of you."

"Oh? Your highness, please make it clear. " Yang Chengye is puzzled.

"Marine fishing." Xiao Ming said softly.

Yang Chengye was overjoyed when he heard the speech. He patted his thigh and said, "Oh, your highness, that's right. We've been bullied by the Japanese pirates on the sea these years. The officials have forgotten about the fishing. Now our fishing boats can finally go out to sea."

"It's not just fishermen fishing. We will allocate 30 merchant ships. These merchant ships will become fishing boats after being refitted. You should set up special fishing teams in Dengzhou to engage in marine fishing and provide meat for inland counties." Xiao Ming said.

This time I saw the Dutch, not only shocked by their equipment, but also envied their health. In Dayu, besides the powerful and powerful people, many people are malnourished.

In the eyes of Europeans, this is no different from refugees, and is even regarded as a symbol of poverty in Europe.

In the war with the barbarians, Xiao Ming also noticed this problem. In the early days, his soldiers' physical quality was not as good as that of the barbarians, which would lead to losses in the war itself.

When he comes back, he can only let the army eat meat once a month, which is the limit of meat supply in Qingzhou.

Without meat to eat, soldiers in long-term training will not be able to enhance their physique to the same level as barbarians or even Europeans, which he does not want to see.

In modern times, soldiers' food is also an important standard of military modernization. Soldiers' training requires a lot of physical strength. If they can't guarantee their diet, training will be greatly reduced.

The fish from 30 fishing boats may not be enough for his army, but he can at least make soup for the soldiers to drink every three to five.

"I remember." Yang Chengye suddenly felt the burden on him heavy.

In the past, Dengzhou was just a marginal City, but now it has become a crucial City, not only to build coastal defense, but also to serve as a trading port and fishing base.

Xiao Ming nodded. What he had to explain was all explained. The new year was coming soon. After the new year, his pace would go to the sea.

After a few days in Dengzhou, Xiao Ming inspected the development of the counties in Dengzhou and the implementation of various decrees.

Now what he is most concerned about is the implementation of State decrees. Even in modern times, there are many things to deal with under the policies. In this age of information blocking, it is more likely that the decrees will not work.

Therefore, when appointing Yang Chengye, he must know whether he has responded to the various decrees issued by Qingzhou.

His inspection was a bit sudden, which also made Yang Chengye a little at a loss. However, after the inspection, Xiao Ming was quite satisfied with the results.

Now there is no bullying of neighboring families in Dengzhou. In the past, all the families were divided into businessmen and no longer had tribal arms.

The distribution of land in Dengzhou is also very reasonable, and there is no dissatisfaction among the people. In fact, because there are many people in Dengzhou, the land of the people in Dengzhou is more than that in Qingzhou.

This is the ancient division of Kuan Xiang and Kuan Xiang. Kuan Xiang has more land than Kuan Xiang.

In addition, he went to inspect the granary reserves in Dengzhou, which was the most important thing in ancient times, because the amount of grain meant how long the war could last.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Xiao Ming finally went to the salt transportation department in Dengzhou.

After the beginning of marine fishing, salt will be a big problem, because there is no freezing technology at this time, only salt and spices can be used to preserve food, which is one of the reasons why ancient spices are so important.

The European occupation of Malaysia and other places, selling the most is spices.

Now Xiao Ming doesn't have enough spices, so he can only use salt to marinate the sea fish so that the sea fish can be preserved continuously. Although the sea fish is salty, the salt content of the sea fish is not enough to make the sea fish reach the standard of salting.

Just because of this, he needed the salt transportation department to eliminate more salt. At the same time, he was ready to sell salt to other places in Dayu, but only if his salt was cheaper than that in other places.This requires more effective methods of salt production.

"Your Highness, this is the way we make salt in Dengzhou."

Yao Wenyuan, the salt transportation envoy of the salt transportation department in Dengzhou, came to the salt farm immediately after learning that Xiao Ming had gone to the salt farm.

Now Xiao Ming is on a flat beach. There are more than 100 thatched cottages on the beach. At this time, cooking smoke is constantly coming out of the thatched cottages.

Some people are carrying seawater into thatched cottages in the sea. Then they pour the water into gauze and filter it several times. Then they pour it into a pot and start to heat and boil to make salt.

"Is that how you make salt?" Xiao Ming frowned. This is the method of boiling sea water.

Yao Wenyuan nodded and said, "Your Highness, that's right. Since ancient times, the salt transportation department has made salt in this way. Now our salt transportation department produces enough salt for the people in six states."

"It's not enough now." "This method of salt making is too slow. Now you have to change a quick and effective method of salt making," Xiao said

"Other ways?" Yao Wenyuan looks puzzled.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "you should remember what I'm talking about now, and we'll take this method to make salt in the future."

After that, Xiao Ming told Yao Wenyuan the modern salt drying method.

"This method is very simple. This area is very large. You can dig out salt fields on this land. When the sea is at high tide, the sea will cover the salt fields and let the sun dry them..."
