Chapter 1176 has other intentions.
Chapter 1176 has other intentions.
Shen Xia looked at Zhu Changzhi and said, "In three days, I will have someone transport salt here. As long as you are a citizen of the Southern Wilderness, you can get one or two ounces of salt with your household registration certificate. Let the people in the government office distribute it."
When Zhu Changzhi heard this, he said, "Your Majesty, how much salt does this require?"
"Don't worry about that. After all, both the salt mine and the coal mine will need talent, so we need labor."
When the county magistrate heard this, he was shocked to learn how much salt would be distributed to the entire county.
This is a salt mine. To ensure the salt supply for the entire Dajin, there must be salt mines not only in the Southern Wilderness.
Then we have to produce sea salt.
This large salt mine can ensure the salt supply of Dajin.
Shen Xia doesn't have many available people around him, so he can only use them this time.
"There are salt mines in those counties below."
Everyone looked at His Majesty.
“Vietnam County has it.”
"There is no county in Cangwu."
“Nanhua County has…”
Shen Xia looked at the three of them and said, "Your three counties will distribute salt first. I will send people to supervise it. If anyone embezzles salt, they will be sentenced to death."
When everyone heard this, they said, "I dare not."
At this time Song Jiang came back.
Then people behind came in carrying black stones.
Shen Xia looked at Song Jiang at the door.
"Commander Song, come in!"
Shen Xia has been talking about salt and has not started talking about coal.
Because I didn’t have time to go to the scene yesterday, for sure.
So there is no mention of the use of coal.
Song Jiang led his men in.
Then remove the black cloth covering the mine.
Shen Xia pinched it with her hand.
It is indeed coal.
On Tu Jiajun's side, all the surrounding counties have already started using coal.
However, the capital did not start using coal because of the inconvenience of transportation.
Because the surrounding counties and nearby provincial capitals have already started using coal.
So life there is pretty good.
County governments that have coal also have considerable income.
When everyone saw that His Majesty had gotten up, they all stood up and stared at the things in the basket.
Black soil.
After Shen Xia confirmed, Ruyi quickly handed the silk forward, and Shen Xia wiped her hands clean.
Return to your seat and sit down.
"Everyone, sit down. Next, there's this matter. This thing is called coal, and it has the same function as charcoal. I've taken a look at the environment here, and firewood is in short supply in winter. If this thing is mined immediately, it will allow the people of the Southern Wilderness to have a good New Year."
Everyone listened.
This ink land has the same effect as charcoal.
Charcoal is so expensive.
Can it have the same effect?
What if it's really the same?
So this winter, people no longer have to worry about freezing to death.
It has started to snow slowly now, and in half a month, the snow will get heavier.
The Chinese New Year is just over two months away.
It is now early October.
A county magistrate excitedly said, "Your Majesty, can this thing really replace charcoal? Then no one will freeze to death this winter."
Shen Xia frowned: "Didn't many people freeze to death in previous years?"
Another official nearby said, "Yes! Although it's not as common as before, people still freeze to death every year. There's really too little firewood here."
Shen Xia sighed softly: "The future of the Southern Wasteland needs your contribution. I will work with you to change everything here."
The officials heard it.
Your Majesty values us so much, we cannot let you down!
Everyone said together: "We will work together to change the current situation in the Southern Wilderness."
"Well, I believe you."
Next, Shen Xia separated out the counties where they had coal and salt mines.
Then ask them to go back and count how many young workers there are.
Go mining.
Each person got thirty copper coins a day.
This is equivalent to an income of nearly one or two taels per month. If there are two or three people mining in the family, the income will be considerable in a year.
This is just the early stage, and the industrial chain will be formed later.
There's more.
Of course, a lot of workers are needed here.
In addition to mining, other types of work are also needed.
There’s no rush yet.
Shen Xia also opened a coal mine and a salt mine, and the rest will follow suit.
The next day, Shen Xia's space was filled with bags of salt.
There is no place for people to go.
It is the process of extracting salt.
After Shen Xia took it out, he gave it to Xiaotian.
Let him study it.
There is no other choice but to use him.
No one else is here.
The people from the Imperial Court can't arrive that quickly.
Zhu Changzhi watched the officers and soldiers carry out bags of salt.
Are you all surprised?
This is?
The fine salt he eats doesn’t seem to be of such good quality!
This is just like what ordinary people eat.
Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler!
No.
He must learn from His Majesty and become a wise minister.
He had some confidence in the future prosperity of Nanxun.
Shen Xia looked at Zhu Changzhi: "Salt will first be sent to Yuehua County and Nanyi, the county magistrate of Fang."
"I understand."
Because the first coal mine to be mined was in Yuehua County, and the first salt mine to be mined was in Nanyi County.
So these two counties were the first to be affected.
County Magistrate Fang and County Magistrate Nan Yilan were both nearby.
And the Shaofu supervised the salt mines.
Because salt mines are a little more complicated.
This involves the extraction of salt, so it requires human supervision.
But coal mines are not so troublesome, all you have to do is mine them.
Moreover, workers in coal mines can receive 100 kilograms of coal every month.
Workers in the salt mine can receive half a pound of salt every month.
There is such benefit.
The people of Southern Wilderness were all very happy.
The first batch of workers only used 200 people each.
Even those who didn't get in were happy.
Because people all know that people will be needed in the future, even if there is no labor force at home, they can still start some small business.
Making some snacks is also making money.
Ten days passed.
The cotton harvest has been completed.
Magistrate Fang, let the people of this county buy cotton first.
The price is not high though.
According to the previous thinking of the people, they would definitely not be willing to buy it.
Because the money is not much, it will be gone once it is used up.
But things are different now.
Almost every household in Yuehua County has someone working in the coal mine.
Supported by income from coal mines.
Only then did the people decide to buy cotton.
Besides, the men in the family have to go out to work, so how can we not buy cotton clothes!
They are only willing to spend money if they can still live on it.
This is called economic circulation.
At this time, the mining areas on both sides have already started production.
The people from the Imperial Court haven't arrived yet, and no one knows who Song Jin will send this time.
Tu Chenyuan follows Shen Xia every day.
But he was just protecting her from the side, and had no free time to say a few words to Shen Xia.
Because Ling Heng and Li Yi are also protecting him closely.
Tu Chenyuan watched Shen Xia and the prince inspect the work at the salt mine.
There was a young master next to him who was explaining the progress during this period.
Tu Chenyuan, as a bystander, had a clearer view.
He could see that the Master's feelings for His Majesty were not simple.
But in the past six months, there has really been no room for improvement.
It’s mainly Ling Cejun who is really on high alert.
Every time the young master wants to have such thoughts.
As luck would have it, Ling Cejun is here.
At this moment, he finally understood why Master Gu had allowed Concubine Ling Heng to enter the mansion.
It seems that there may be other intentions behind this.
But it is really useful.
But I'm so worried about myself.
The Young Master and Your Majesty grew up together but neither of them can enter the palace.
What about him?
