Qingxia came to reply to Li Zhaoning, but Wei Xiaobai didn't even raise his head and said straight:
"No need to say anything. She, a little girl, can't say anything useful. I'm not interested in listening to the old man's words."
Qingxia was shocked on the spot.
Wei Xiaobai doesn't have to guess at all. As an old captain, Wei Xiaobai has met the most domineering princess in the world, Princess Tang Pingyang Zhao. He has also met the most ambitious princess, Princess Tang Taiping.
Wei Xiaobai knew very well how deep is this Qiongya Princess Li Zhaoning.
Li Zhaoning's greatest value is her identity and courage, so a group of passionate men followed her to fight against the barbarians, and also allowed her to be praised by the Monument of the People in the north, and also received thousands of loyal old soldiers.
Of course, it is also because she has a good teacher.
Yu Zhengqing is the real talent, and Wei Xiaobai has no doubt about this. If it were placed in the early Tang Dynasty, Yu Zhengqing would also be a master of Fang Mou Duan's level.
Wei Xiaobai glanced at Qingxia who was dazed and said, "From now on the afternoon of the fifth day, please come here, just to let her see how this prince-consort can make the elderly and weak produce tens of kilograms of salt a day."
Qingxia felt dizzy.
Yu Zhengqing told her to say that this battalion produces a thousand kilograms of salt per day, which is worth robbing the princess herself. But what Wei Xiaobai said is that it produces tens of thousands of kilograms per day.
Qingxia bit her lip, turned around and left for Li Zhaoning.
"Crazy!"
Just in the central army camp, Jia Chengshu jumped up.
"As aged and weak, he produces tens of thousands of kilograms of salt a day, a playboy said wildly, so he didn't know what he said. He..." Jia Chengshu scolded, and a civil servant was also echoing, and some even said that the prince consort planned to use sand as salt, etc.
Only the military officers such as Yuchi Hao did not speak.
Li Chunge whispered to Yuchi Hao: "You said, is it really so evil?"
Yuchi Hao replied: "Maybe it's really that evil. Whoever can stand by the beach and see will know that a storm has appeared. This prince consort is evil."
Yuchi Hao and Li Chunge knew Wei Xiaobai's identity, so they dared not regard this person as Wei Guang's waste.
Five days later, as Wei Guang said, let Li Zhaoning come in the afternoon five days later.
When approaching the fourth battalion, Jia Chengshu had already shouted: "The lower official Jia Chengshu asked to see the prince consort. The lower official is here to see how this produces tens of thousands of kilograms of salt per day."
The fourth camp was busy. At the gate of the camp, he saw the princess, Sima Yu Zhengqing, and a group of civil and military officials and soldiers, so he hurried to find Qi Youliang.
After resting for so many days, Qi Youliang's injuries have basically healed, so he came out in person.
Jia Chengshu took a few quick steps: "Youliang, you actually believe in the crazy words here. If you have a young man and a weak person, you can produce tens of thousands of kilograms of salt per day?"
Qi Youliang sighed slightly, shook his head gently in front of Jia Chengshu and quickly walked to Li Zhaoning: "Your Highness, the prince consort has set a daily yield of 25,000 kilograms of salt for the Fourth Battalion."
"What Qi Shen General means..." Li Zhaoning couldn't believe his ears.
She knew Qi Youliang and knew that this was a person who was not fake. Judging from her attitude, it was enough to prove that Wei Xiaobai had produced 10,000 kilograms of salt per day.
Jia Chengshu was also stunned, and he knew Qi Youliang better.
Qi Youliang brought Li Zhaoning, Yu Zhengqing and a group of civil and military officials into the camp, and said while walking: "The salt has been collected this afternoon. This is the salt of four days and five processes, and there are also the salt of seven days and sixteen processes. However, the utensils are still made at present, and the output is very low."
Yu Zhengqing asked instead of Li Zhaoning: "What is the difference between these two."
Qi Youliang explained: "The first type is better than the best salt removal. The second type is as white as snow without any impurities. It is called essence and snow salt, which consumes a lot of manpower, so the prince consort has arranged a daily yield of ten kilograms as the upper limit, which is just familiar with the craftsmanship."
Yu Zhengqing asked again: "Then it is better than salt removal, so Youliang talks about it."
"When you get close, listen to the explanation of the official."
After arriving at the beach, Qi Youliang pointed to the several pools that had been formed and said, "On this day, when the tide is high, the sea water is drawn into the salt field, and then the tide is reduced to seal the ridges, trapping the sea water in the salt pond."
At this time, it was the second time when the tide was about to rise, Li Zhaoning saw a woman starting to fetch water from this pond.
Qi Youliang said, "Your Highness, the prince consort said this. The sea water is equivalent to one hundred cups of water with four cups of salt, while one hundred cups of salt without salt can melt up to thirty-six cups of salt. If this salt pond is built with the bottom of the pond every day, the tide is raised and the tide is released every day, and the tide is reduced and the water is stored, even if you don't have to do anything else, salt will slowly accumulate in the pond over time."
Li Zhaoning nodded slightly.
Qi Youliang led everyone to the second place.
"There are more than twenty layers of straw curtains in this pond. According to the calculations of the prince-de-in-law, the sea water that has been sunburned by the sun has reached the level of fifteen to twenty cups of salt in one hundred cups of water. Here, the mud and sand are filtered out through the straw curtains, and then filter it again with a very clean wooden barrel filled with clean fine sand."
The third place is the wooden barrel dripping water drop by drop.
The last place is one stone after another.
"Your Highness, here we need a salt inkstone area. The fourth step is to place the water filtered from the wooden barrel of sand in the salt inkstone. If the sun is good, the salt inkstone will be dried that afternoon."
There is no need to say anything about this. One of the ones that had added concentrated salt content yesterday had dried.
Several children were crawling on the edge of the salt inkstone with a small wooden shovel and shoveled the salt into the basket. When they saw Li Zhaoning coming, the little guys quickly put down the small wooden shovel in their hands and stood beside the salt inkstone to salute.
Li Zhaoning looked at the white salt on the salt inkstone and really wanted to ask, isn’t this considered snow salt?
But this method of making salt is really amazing.
Yu Zhengqing asked: "Youliang, have you calculated the output?"
"Sima, each salt inkstone here can be harvested in 200 days a year, and can produce 1,000 kilograms of salt. The prince-in-law said that it will rain for half a year, so salt inkstone is useless. Now it is planned to polish 100 salt inkstones, and the rest of the salt will be built to build salt fields and take coarse salt. This salt inkstone is fine salt. The output is a yearly output..."
Qi Youliang didn't continue to say this, the data was already in front of him.
The extensive salt fields are well managed, and millions of kilograms of salt a year are no problem, and the fine salt is also 100,000 kilograms.
It can be said that this fine salt alone is enough for less than 20,000 people to eat, and everyone is enough to give another fine salt for teeth cleaning.
Li Zhaoning asked: "Where is the prince consort?"
