"The king has an order to count the unowned land in the prefectures and counties in Hedong Hebei as soon as possible."

This is the first decree issued by Zhao Gou.

As the deputy marshal of the Grand Marshal's Office, Wang Boyan was called the pacification envoy of Hebei West Road by Zhao Gou, Zhang Suo was called the pacification envoy of Hebei East Road, and Zong Ze was called the pacification envoy of Hedong Road (Is Chen Gou the commander of the control envoy).

Therefore, all of these people became busy.

Including Huang Qianshan and Liang Yangzu, the latter was appointed as the three-way transfer envoy by Zhao Gou, while the former was appointed as the Changping envoy, and he went to boil cement to build salt fields.

At the eastern end of the border river between the Northern Song Dynasty and Yanyun, that is, the area around Cangzhou, it was the famous Changlu Salt Field in later generations.

The tributaries of the Zhang River flowed in its territory, and reeds grew on the shore, so they were called "Changlu". In the second year of Daxiang in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (580 AD), the county was established here, namely Changlu County. In the fourth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty (1071 AD), Changlu County was abolished and renamed Changlu Town.

But Cangzhou did not produce salt at this time.

Because Hebei is flat, the reeds and puddles of this generation are part of the Song army's defense line in Hebei.

Changlu Salt Field will have to wait until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Yancheng, Hangu, north of the Liao and Song dynasties, began to flourish since the third year of Tongguang in the Later Tang Dynasty (925).

Zhao Gou had adopted Liang Yangzu's opinion to raise military funds and issued a lot of salt notes. Now he wants to open up the source of the money, so he also needs to start with salt first.

Because this thing works the fastest.

Salt is a necessity for human life, but the price of salt in the Song Dynasty was not low. At least compared with the cost of salt, it was not worth mentioning.

It is already very profitable to boil sea salt, but if you dry salt on a large scale, you will be even more prosperous.

Holding the long reeds in the east and the salt of the salt in the east of the river to the west, Zhao Gou will not be able to worry about money shortage in the future.

However, this is only one aspect, and the land of the ownerless owner must be taken into his hands. Organizing refugee military camps is the first, and licensing land to his subordinates is the second. Only after these things are completed will his foundation be completely stabilized.

But the latter takes much longer than the former.

Just counting how long does it take to be abandoned for the unowned land in various places? In addition, the resettlement of refugees and land division matters, and even the resistance in the local and courts must be flattened. If you want to complete everything, it may not be possible to complete it for a whole year.

...

Huang Qianshan returned to his residence with a happy expression, Changping envoy! He was indeed the position of Changping envoy, and he was still the Changping envoy of the Third Route of Hebei, even if he was not as good as the pacifier and the Du Transfer Envoy, he would have absolutely no power. It is really worth raising his troops to join the King of Yan.

After returning to his residence, he was so happy that he got drunk.

After many days of worry, today, my heart finally fell back into my stomach.

Before he raised his troops to serve Zhao Gou, he thought he would get a lot of reward, but with the sacrificial envoys from both Hebei and Hedong Road, he was very disappointed that even the Transport Envoys were taken away by Liang Yangzu, and they were taken down by three groups.

Because Zhao Song had established the four departments in the local area, the first two people were absolutely the first two. The official affairs of the prison and the Changping envoy were not comparable to the first two.

The first authority in this place is the pacification envoy, in charge of military and civil affairs. The official is named the Jingli Pacification Envoy, commonly known as the Commander, and the General Office is not a permanent position. Then the Duo Transfer Envoy, in charge of the collection and transportation of money and grain, and the official is named the Transfer Envoy, abbreviated as the "Cao Session"; the third is the official affairs of the Criminal Prison, in charge of local justice, criminal prison and supervision. The official is named the Tap Examination and Criminal Prison, abbreviated as the "Canton Division", which is like the censor of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The last one is the Changping Envoy. He is responsible for the Changping Envoy (the granary used by the state to adjust the price of grain) and the loan of money and grain, and the salt and tea monopoly. The official is named the Tap Examination and Criminal Prison, abbreviated as the "Cangsi".

Changping was not short of money, but his actual power was somewhat insufficient. The official positions of the Song Dynasty were very complicated, and many official positions were established just for the separation of power. The establishment of the pacifier was for the right to transfer the capital, but later the pacifier later became the descendants. The establishment of the Changping envoy was to separate the power of the pacifier. In fact, the authority was not as good as the prefect of the same place. Moreover, there were no warehouses for the third road of Hedong, Hebei, and the Changping envoy was very tasteless.

However, the official position that Huang Qianshan has obtained is not comparable to the previous "Changping Envoy". Like Liang Yangzu, he is also a three-way Changping Envoy.

It is very common for this person to be a transshipment officer in both directions, but it seems that this is the only case in the entire Song Dynasty.

This is not the reason why Huang Qianshan was excited. What really made him excited was that he also obtained Zhao Gou's secret order to boil cement and build salt fields, so that he could dry salt through sunlight without the need for stove fire and coarse salt. The yield was far better than boiling sea and frying salt.

If this is true, he, Chang Ping, who is now rich, will soon become a real important figure under the King of Yan.

Huang Feng was a little confused, he had never heard of this word. Could the King of Yan be fooling his father?

"I have never heard of salt drying for my father." Huang Qianshan stroked his beard for many years. There was only boiling sea and fried salt in the world. How could he say salt drying? "However, the king of Yan is in his destiny, how could he know that it is a false aphrodisiac?"

The most important thing is that the principle of salt drying is very simple and clear. Divide the salt field into two parts, one is used as an evaporation tank, and the other is used as a crystallization tank. First introduce seawater into the evaporation tank, and when the water is evaporated to a certain level by wind and sun exposure, then pour it into the crystallization tank. If the sun continues, the seawater will naturally become a saturated solution of salt, and then dry it and gradually precipitate the salt. The crystal obtained is the common coarse salt for the people.

Huang Qianshan has been an official for many years and knows nothing about salt, but he also knows more about what it is like to cook sea and salt. Not all places can cook sea and salt. Some places are thick and some places are light. Isn’t it related to the wind and sun exposure?

When boiling, it is also necessary to burn the wind and sun.

Those who can pass the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination were not stupid. Huang Qianshan soon realized that there was great potential for this matter. When he woke up the next day, he recruited his son. He did not hear Huang Qi say depressed words, but asked Huang Qi to quickly use the money to buy salt money from the salt merchant.

Liang Yangzu made great contributions with salt guidance, which was the key to his current position. Huang Qianshan couldn't even envy him, but he knew that the salt banknotes sent by Liang Yangzu in the past had caused the salt merchants to suffer because those salt banknotes could not produce salt for them at all.

During these days, Liang Yangzu was cursed by many people for his 18 generations of ancestors.

At the same time, all the salt notes became waste paper.

But how could Zhao Gou refuse to admit the salt banknotes? Now he buys back the salt banknotes at a low price. When the salt incident in Cangzhou rises, he will not go to business, but only sells it again, and sells it in and out, hundreds of thousands of yuan of private money.
