Pingyang princess said: ”to do naturally is to do, but there is still a problem to be solved.”

Xue Lang understood: ”salt!”

”Well, it's salt

The purpose of building a farm is to train a group of elite soldiers. The increase of training amount means the increase of physical strength loss. In addition to replenishing nutrition, how to supplement the salt loss caused by a large amount of physical loss is also a big problem.

Princess Pingyang said, ”weizeguan belongs to Hebei road. There is a big salt pond in Hebei Road, which is convenient to transport. But I don't know whether the output of Youzhou salt pond can be supplied. One of them

At this time, salt production, whether sea salt, well salt or rock salt, mostly uses the method of boiling in brine. Production is limited by fuel and manpower, and has not been high.

Before the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the salt making methods, whether sea salt or pool salt, were stewed in brine. The sun drying method of sea salt did not appear until after the Northern Song Dynasty. However, the sea salt dried at the beginning did not taste good because of the technology and other reasons. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that someone invented the method of drying salt by ditch and beach, which ended the history of sea salt frying by fire.

The Duke of Pingyang continued: ”second, Liu heikai made a rebellion and occupied Jizhou, beizhou and other places. A few days ago, when the governor of Youzhou came to visit, I asked him that the salt pond in Youzhou was not convenient to transport large quantities of salt due to the influence of Liu thieves, so it is necessary to wait for the king of Qin to pacify Liu thieves before resuming the transportation of large quantities of salt.”

According to historical records, Li Shimin's expedition against Liu heikai was not long. After the war of Mingshui, Liu heikai was defeated and fled to the Turks. Calculate the time, the day of victory is not far away.

Therefore, Xue Lang said: ”Your Highness, according to your subordinates, after the first battle of Mingshui, the victory and defeat of King Qin and Liu heikai have been divided. I think the decisive period is not far away. The news of King Qin's great victory will be sent soon.”

Princess Pingyang is a decisive person. She also knows the ability to bring up her younger brother. She ponders a little and says, ”Xue Lang, listen to the order!”

”My subordinates are here,” Xue langlian said

Princess Pingyang solemnly said, ”from now on, my general will allow you to take the post of quartermaster, and be responsible for planning the establishment of the garrison farm. You will be assigned by the commander of the kitchen camp, and you will be fully assisted in the construction of the farm.”

”Here it is

Xue Lang takes orders. Her royal highness immediately wrote down her handwriting, and the general seal was printed, so that the order could be passed down.

Therefore, Xue Lang's days were busy again after a few days of leisure. Fortunately, in the sweet potato field, you only need to visit the field frequently and pay attention to the growth status; on the other side of the workshop, every other line is like a mountain, and Xue Lang has become the role of playing soy sauce, but you can't go there. It's just that when the masters have questions or make finished products for him to check, you can go there.

In the afternoon, the captain of the cook camp came to see him. Although the school captain in the kitchen camp is a school captain, his rank is not high enough to catch up with the rank of other government barracks. He is only a grade eight officer. The captain was a man in his early forties. He was short and stout, with a big head and fat ears. He was a cook.

”I met Xue Zhubo in the sea of Guanzhuang.”

I'd like to see you respectfully.

Xue Lang couldn't help but sniff at the corners of his mouth. It's not that there is a problem with the etiquette of the visitors, but that he is allergic to the word ”Hai Hai” recently --

on the harm of random jokes!

Xue Lang returned the salute: ”Zhuang Xiaowei, no more courtesy. Please sit down.”
