Chapter 925: New Salt Law Will Inevitably Lead to Smuggling

"Your method of purifying salt from Zhuangzi spread to the seaside. The salt produced by the seaside is good and has its own way of making a living."

Li Longji was a little embarrassed to talk about this because he had many salt wells.

There are also natural gas wells and fires. In addition to cooking brine, the nearby people also process things.

Such as reeling silk, cooking sauce, making dried green onions, and cooking without using your own firewood.

When no one picks up the dried green onions, the green onions won’t be finished and will rot.

What happened in Chang'an spread, and the people of Shu made dried green onions from their excess green onions and sold them to the imperial court, which then sent them to the frontline soldiers.

The price is not high and the demand is large.

In addition, other vegetables that need to be dried are also put in and 'fried', and then transported to the front line after frying.

There are also meat floss and brewed vinegar, which are needed by the soldiers at the border.

Li Longji doesn't charge for using natural gas in this way, while others charge for using it to cook salt brine.

He believed that his salt well was making life more difficult for people on the beach, so he decided to help by improving the quality of sea salt.

Li Yi shook his head: "I can't afford it. They don't have so many auxiliary materials. In fact, I have another method. I boil the sea to make salt and dry the sea to make salt..."

Li Yi began to introduce how to make a salt field, how to increase the salt content of seawater again and again, and when to add brine to catalyze it.

and the process of pushing salt with a salt rake, the salt production cycle.

"Third brother, using this method, the salt will pile up like a hill. Picking baskets one after another, the same labor force and working time are hundreds of times that of boiling salt."

Li Longji was dumbfounded. He tried hard to think of the hill-like salt piles and the white salt everywhere on the beach.

Everyone was tired and sweating after carrying baskets of salt...

"Brother Yi, this method is good. It saves firewood and is fast. It should be used."

Li Longji wished he could fly directly to the beach and teach the people there how to dry salt.

"When the time comes, there will be more salt and the price will be lower. Whether it is Shu salt or sea salt, if you can't make money, the money will be made by the merchants."

Li Yi said a way, but he didn't plan to use it now.

There is so much salt to build roads? Qinghai Lake?

"Brother Yi, since more people can eat cheap salt, the court can subsidize the losses suffered by people drying salt on the beach."

Li Longji disagrees. He believes that the number of people drying salt on the beach is far less than the number of people who need to eat cheap salt.

As for the impact on his well salt income in Shu, he didn't care.

The quality of Shu salt is always higher than that of sea salt. It is impossible to buy sea salt if you want salt in places close to Shu.

Go down the Yangtze River and eat sea salt at Dongting Lake. Once the sea salt arrives plus tolls, it is guaranteed to be more expensive than Shu salt.

In the Hanzhong area, along the way from Shu to Chang'an, it is better to eat Shu salt.

Li Yi frowned and thought about whether he would lose the interests of the salt-basking people.

Sun-drying salt is more efficient than boiling salt, and the price of salt will be lower.

Exerting salt water is actually quite tiring. Now you have to do it with your bare feet in the water.

The process of boiling salt is actually similar, and scooping seawater from the sea is also done barefoot, but the salt concentration of seawater is low.

Sun salt is in salt water with a concentration of more than 30%, and there is also walking on salt.

“If the salt is dried, the imperial court takes charge, hires local people to dry it, provides benefits, and limits the price of salt.

For example, if salt is produced in a salt farm and sold for one pound per three kilograms, there will be a lot of profit. The profit will be used to subsidize the people who dry the salt and provide them with protective measures.

As the salt tax on sea salt has been collected, private salt fields are not allowed to be established in other places.

Then the imperial court began to fight against illegal activities, and the people sent there were bound to engage in illegal activities. "

Li Yi tells all the key issues, and you can choose whether it works or not.

Without setting a price, people who sell salt will still be poor. Pricing, private salt is profitable, but it is impossible not to mine it privately.

Was his supervision strict at that time? Is the monitoring system powerful? Do you have any private salt?

"Let it go, let it go out to dry the salt. If there are really smugglers of salt... kill them!"

Li Longji admitted what Li Yi said and could not stop it. He could only kill him after discovering it again and again.

"In this case, we can ask the people from the local newspaper to keep an eye on it, and the people at the inn to keep an eye on it, as well as a team of secret investigators.

Even if they want to bribe, they must first find out all the reporting channels. It is difficult to prohibit illegal use of salt, but it can reduce losses. "

Li Yi gave the follow-up methods, just show them.

Boiling salt will make you cold in winter, boiling salt in summer can easily lead to heatstroke, and drying salt in the sun will keep up with the safeguards.

"Will it be published in the newspaper tomorrow?" Li Longji decided to let the people of Tang Dynasty eat cheaper salt.

"Send people to the local area to be responsible for building salt ponds. Don't put it in the newspaper. Others will pick up the newspaper and learn it when they go back."

Li Yi didn't want others to learn from him, especially Khitan and Bohai.

There are salt fields in the Bohai Sea, but they are not used for drying.

As long as the price of salt in Datang is low enough, it can be shipped to the Bohai Sea and sold at a price cheaper than the salt they make themselves, so they will no longer produce salt themselves.

Then the price of salt was raised. When the other party saw that it was too expensive, he prepared to cook the salt himself, but it was all cooked. The price of salt in Datang dropped again, and the cook had no choice but to give up.

Over time, the price of salt fluctuated, and people who wanted to cook salt saw that it was unprofitable, so they naturally stopped making salt.

In other words, even if Datang salt is sold at the same price as Bohai salt, people in Bohai will not cook it themselves.

They were worried that once it was cooked, the price of salt in Datang would be low and they would suffer losses.

Datang was able to earn benefits from selling salt in the Bohai Sea for a long time and suppress the other party's salt industry.

Just like his time, the salt grown in foreign countries has impacted the country's salt growers, and salt extraction companies buy foreign salt.

Then the technology was updated, and blended salt was invented, two to two to two, two parts genetically modified salt, two parts gutter salt, and two parts moldy old salt.

Mixed together, it becomes the good salt of new technology.

Li Longji nodded: "That's fine, send eunuchs."

"Okay, eunuchs are no different from other officials. They should be killed anyway." Li Yi had a casual attitude towards who to send to organize the salt drying.

There is no official control over the price of salt, and people who dry it have been exploited and have no labor protection.

Once the price is set, it will inevitably include additional profits, and some people will want to squeeze this profit and sell private salt.

Local officials colluded with each other against the inspectors.

If they were caught, they would kill some of them and confiscate their homes. The court would use this method to restore blood.

New officials repeat the same path as their predecessors, and the cycle continues.

"What kind of goods are you sending over the Yellow River?" Li Longji finally asked him what he was doing here.

"Seafood, dried oysters, mussels, dried clams, shrimp, dried shrimps and meat, newspapers, exchange coupons."

Li Yi casually mentioned a few things, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net On the other side of the Yellow River are Gansu, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia. Now we can’t eat Shanghai products, nor can we do anything.

Not to mention the current mainland. At that time, there was a large sea around Liaoning, Liaoning, Fushun, Anshan and other places. It was not easy to eat seafood in the 1980s.

Because these cities are not close to the sea, the dry goods found on the seaside are all used to make hot pot, so they are precious.

Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty looks relatively close to Yinchuan, but it is actually quite far away. You have to go over mountains and ridges by land, but you can't go by water.

You can finally cross Hukou Waterfall, but you have to let the people there know how to buy seafood.

"When I go there, I put down some of the seafood and tell the local people that I want to collect the local products, and then trade them when I get back. By the way, I promote the exchange coupons."

Li Yilian had already thought about how to trade. The people in those places were relatively unfamiliar with the imperial court.

Let them get familiar with it little by little and recognize it.
