My life skills in Daming Liver

The word "Haimao" made Lin Mojun silent.

These days, talking about sea trade is actually smuggling.

According to the law of our ancestors in Ming Dynasty, except for the tributes brought by Shibosi into Daming, everything else was illegally smuggled.

Ever since the death of Lao Baihu, Changningwei had never been involved in smuggling. If it wasn't for Su Ze's theory of rewards and punishments, Lin Mojun would have refused on the spot.

Su Ze said: "As long as you can dock on the edge of Changningwei, you can move the goods to Changningwei."

Su Ze continued to increase the number and said:

"20% of the income from the sea trade will be sent to the hundred households, and 10% will be sent to the ancestral hall. What do the hundred households think?"

In fact, according to the share of smuggling, this share is considered low, but Su Ze only wants to borrow the port of Changningwei, and does not need the participation of Changningwei military households, so this share is reasonable.

Lin Mojun thought for a while and said, "You are not allowed to do business with Zhenwa."

"Naturally!"

"The sale of grain, salt, iron and arms is not allowed."

"I'm sure I won't do things like Tongwo."

"In that case, let's do it."

Lin Mojun also knows that Su Ze is a capable person. Now the entire southeast region is full of sieves, and there is even more unscrupulous smuggling in Yuegang. The whole province of Fujian knows about this den, and no one destroys it. There is a deep relationship behind it. Makes the scalp tingle.

If Su Ze really wants to smuggle, then he can find a way. It's better to let him do it within the control area of ​​Changning Guard, so as to control the risk.

It's not that Lin Mojun is standing up and down again, but that Chang Ningwei really can't hold on anymore.

The imperial court defaulted on the military pay, and the output of the farm in the guards was only so much. If Su Ze hadn't produced fine salt for the fine money in the last battle, Lin Mojun would really have to pawn the dowry to pay the fine money.

There is another premise of Su Ze's "understanding and righteousness", that is, "eat enough food", if you don't have enough food, what's the point of talking about personal beliefs.

It was already dark when Su Ze came out of Baihusuo, but he was in a happy mood. From the perspective of Su Ze, a modern person who has experienced the wave of trade, the Changning Guard is just begging for a golden job.

Changningwei's location is remote, but on the other hand, it is a natural smuggling port.

It is very close to Yanping Mansion and Fuzhou Mansion, both of which are prosperous trade places, especially Fuzhou Mansion, Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian, including the three yamen of Chengxuan Envoy, Mentoring Envoy, and Commanding Envoy. Fuzhou Prefecture.

In addition, the Fuzhou Bosi Yamen, the Fujian Joining the Army Yamen, and the General Office of Beiwa are all located in Fuzhou.

Su Ze's plan is to set up a sugar workshop in Changningwei, buy smuggled Cochin brown sugar, and refine it into white sugar for sale.

The unit price and profit of sugar are much higher than that of salt, and those who can buy sugar are also powerful officials and gentry, so Su Ze's business is not cheating the poor.

Relying on the "sugar making" skills acquired in the sugar workshop last time, Su Ze still knows how to build a simple sugar workshop.

It's just that Su Ze is not very sure whether the "yellow mud water pouring method" written in "Tiangong Kaiwu" can produce snow-white sugar.

You must know that although the book "Tiangong Kaiwu" is called an "encyclopedia"-style technical book, many of the contents are written in the book by Song Yingxingdao's hearsay, and have not been verified by him.

According to Song Yingxing's method, you only need to pour the yellow mud water after the black granulated sugar is melted, and you can get clean syrup naturally. Su Ze is also quite skeptical about this.

The yellow mud water is equivalent to an adsorbent, which absorbs and precipitates the dark substances in the black granulated sugar. The principle is the same as that of activated carbon used as an adsorbent in modern sugar factories, and it is true.

But whether the effect is as good as in "Heavenly Creation", Su Ze can't be sure if he hasn't made sugar.

However, sugar production also requires concentrated syrup in the end, which also requires fuel. It is definitely not enough to rely solely on burning reeds, and fuel needs to be purchased.

Su Ze only felt a bit of a headache. Why did other traversers only need to order and build a near-modern workshop, but he had to work hard to plan every process, even worrying about what was burning in the furnace.

Refined salt needs fuel, refined white sugar also needs fuel, and the beans at Nine Aunt's house are also used up. It seems that I still have to go to the ghost market at the end of the first ten days.

When I was in the ghost market last time, Su Ze seemed to have seen a shop selling charcoal.

In fact, China has been mining coal for a long time. The coal dug out of the ground is called coal, which is different from the charcoal produced by burning wood.

Charcoal burns well, does not contain sulfur and other impurities, and burns with less smoke, so it is basically used by dignitaries.

For example, "Selling Charcoal" written by Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty is "cutting firewood and burning charcoal in Nanshan". The charcoal is sold, and it was also snatched by the eunuchs in the palace for use in the palace.

Charcoal has "charcoal poison". In the Song Dynasty, ordinary people in Kaifeng burned coal for heating. Many people died of "charcoal poison" every year, but if they didn't use charcoal for heating, they would freeze to death.

At that time, there were coal shops specializing in selling charcoal. Once the price of coal rose, a large number of poor people would freeze to death. In the Song Dynasty, there was already a special organization responsible for coal mining.

In the north of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a special coal field, and a large amount of coal from Shanxi was transported to the capital every year for heating for the people in the capital.

Ordinary people in Fujian basically still burn grass and wood, and the main ones who use charcoal are the surrounding iron workshops.

Nanping County is rich in iron ore. There are not only a large number of mines outside the city, but also iron smelting workshops and iron forging workshops.

The coal trade in Yanping Prefecture is booming. There is a charcoal mountain in Zhenghe County, Jianning Prefecture not far from Yanping Prefecture. Special coal merchants transport coal to Yanping Prefecture for sale.

There are also charcoal merchants who are sent to the ghost market to sell. If Su Ze wants to make salt and sugar, a charcoal stove is the stable fuel.

But before that, Su Ze had one more important thing to do. Early the next morning, he came to the place where the wasteland was reclaimed by the side of the mountain. He only saw Luo Hanjiao and Zhu Qi's salt men digging the soil and hoeing. A fiery scene.

When the Arhats saw Su Ze, they quickly called out "Sir" and stood there respectfully.

Zhu Qi's injury was almost healed. He held a hoe and looked at Su Ze with vigilant eyes. Yan Ding who was with him stood behind him and stared at Su Ze with his eyes.

The guards sent by the ancestral hall immediately picked up the sticks and hammers, and Su Ze signaled them to put down their weapons.

Su Ze found a shaded place to sit down, and said to Zhu Qiyi and the others:

"I'm going to give a lecture. If you want to listen, come here. If you don't want to listen, go to work."

After saying this, Su Ze began to talk about the enlightenment to the Arhats.

In the face of these arhats, Su Ze basically chooses interesting historical stories to tell, such as stories like "Zhou Chu eliminates the three evils", or short stories of idioms. His explanations are easy to understand, and the enlightenment experience begins rise.

Su Ze's voice was not low. Gradually, the Yan Ding put down their hoes and followed behind to listen.

There were fewer and fewer people behind Zhu Qi. Seeing that his brothers were all gone, Zhu Qi also sighed and put down his hoe. He came to the back of the crowd and sat cross-legged, listening to Su Ze's lecture.
