Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 282 The method of drying salt?New Tang book?Xiangshan? (one more)
At night, Gao Zhang, who had been busy outside for another day, strolled home and had a family dinner with his parents, and the family of three began to enjoy themselves happily again.

As a result, after a while, the housekeeper Fukang came to report.Chen Shilang from the Ministry of Rites and an official surnamed Zong came to visit together, saying that there is something important, but I just want to see you.

Hearing this, Gao Qiu subconsciously looked towards his own son Gao Zhang.

It wasn't until after his own son left that Gao Qiu stroked his long beard and whispered.

"This Zongze, being able to get acquainted with our Zhang'er, and let Zhang'er take the initiative to help him, makes my husband a little bit want to make friends."

"It's a pity that in the eyes of those scholars, I, Gao Lian, am just a lucky minister."

These words are naturally made out of feelings. In the eyes of those scholars, only serious scholars who rely on imperial examinations to become officials are serious officials.

For an old man like him, no matter how high his official status is, he is still nothing in the eyes of those officials.

The wife, Mrs. Huang, naturally understood what her husband meant, and lightly took his strong arm, speaking softly and authentically.

"Husband, why should you care about what those people say, it's just that your husband has never had the luck of our Zhang'er."

Hearing this, Gao Qiu almost laughed out loud, and nodded in agreement.

That's right, although I was a bit unlucky and failed the imperial examination to become an official, but my son has become a world-famous child prodigy champion, what else can I be dissatisfied with?
What's more, although this kid is young and acts well, he doesn't look like a child at all.

It seems that the luck of Lao Gao's family has been gathered in one person.

"Brother Rulin, what are you doing?"

Gao Zhang never expected that when he invited Zong Ze into the house, the big man would bow to the ground.

"Chen Shilang told Zong everything, and Zong never thought that you and I just met once.

But you, my dear brother, have been running around for Zong's affairs, and even talked about touching the official family. Zong can't repay this kindness. "

Zong Ze looked at the too young Gao Zhang in front of him, he was so excited that he was at a loss for words.

After listening to Chen Shilang's narration, I realized why my destiny was completely changed after getting drunk, it was precisely because of the champion prodigy in front of me.

How can Zongze not be moved by being able to devote all his energy to running for a stranger who is only close to him.

If Gao Zhang was not too young, he might be older than his father Gao Qi.

Zong Ze couldn't wait to put on three sticks of incense and become a brother of different surnames with this 11-year-old Gao Zhang.

After some sighs and emotions, Gao Zhang was also sincerely happy for Zongze. Being able to become the Zhizhou of the Song Dynasty was at least an official position that Zongze had never held in another historical time and space.

"Actually, if brother Ru Lin doesn't come to look for younger brother today, I'm afraid that in two days, younger brother will also look for Chen Shilang. Please Chen Shilang take me to see brother Rulin."

"Why?" Chen Shilang asked curiously. Gao Zhang went to find Zongze, definitely not to hear Zongze's gratitude to him, there must be something.

"Brother, after I heard that Brother Ru Lin became the magistrate of Dengzhou, I made a special investigation.

Only then did I realize that Dengzhou is the most promising coastal place on Jingdong East Road in Song Dynasty. "

These words made Zongze raise his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but feel excited. "What my brother said is true. Zong used to work in Jiaoshui County, which is in Laizhou, which is across from Dengzhou. He is quite confused about this place in Dengzhou."

It was not until the fourth year of Tang Wude (621) that Dengzhou was named.After the Tang Dynasty, with the establishment of the tributary system and the trade between China and neighboring countries.

Dengzhou gradually became the official port for the Korean Peninsula and Japan to pay tribute or trade to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Dengzhou has been an important seaport in the north of my country, and it is also an important place for coastal defense.

For Zongze, this is definitely a promising place.

Listening to Zongze talking about the military and political affairs of Dengzhou, including maritime affairs, it came at his fingertips.

It is enough to see that this Zongze is indeed worthy of being a big man who can leave a famous name in history. Not only did he fight the war to make the Kingdom of Jin called Grandpa, but he even has his own views on the administration of officials.

Gao Zhang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard Zong Ze mention that merchants in Japan and Korea would secretly import a large amount of smuggled salt from the seaports around Dengzhou.

"Dengzhou already produces salt now?"

"No, no, no, Dengzhou does not produce salt, and the merchants from these two countries are buying salt from smugglers in Binzhou."

"Binzhou has boiled the sea for salt since ancient times, and provided it to the places in Hebei. During the reign of Renzong, the Liao Kingdom also boiled the sea for salt, and sold the salt to the places in Hebei. During the Renzong period, the places in Hebei couldn't help selling salt..."

As a result, the salt boiled in the Hebei region simply began to be exported, and even had international politeness: Koryo and Nawa.

"...Dengzhou doesn't produce salt?" Gao Zhang suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead, his eyes shining brightly.

He directly put Zongze and Chen Shilang in a daze on the spot.

#####
Gao Zhang suddenly remembered one thing. In ancient times, people boiled salt for a living, and the method of drying salt seemed to have never been popular.

It has always been necessary to consume a lot of fuel for cooking, which is why there is a saying of boiling sea for salt.

However, Gao Zhang remembers that when he went for a stroll in Xiangshan County on the other side of Zhejiang Province, he had seen the intangible cultural heritage sun-dried salt method at that time.

It even specifically marked the records about Xiangshan Sun-drying Salt Method in historical books.

As far as Gao Zhang knows, the Jiaodong Peninsula area is windy, sunny and not very rainy, so it is definitely more suitable for sun-drying salt than the Zhejiang area.

That being the case, anyway, tell Zongze about this method, and then I will have a good discussion with Master Hunjun and Master to see if it is possible to expand the government-run international trade project.

After all, Gao Zhang is going to use the government's channels for the money-making trade and the book trade. Of course, he must make some money himself. If he doesn't make money, how can he develop?

"The method of drying salt? The new book of Tang Dynasty? Xiangshan County under Taizhou has such a wonderful method?"

After leaving the Gao Mansion, Zong Ze still felt a little dizzy, and Chen Shilang beside him clicked his tongue.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zhang was so well-informed and well-known. The important thing is that there is such a simple and convenient way to make table salt.

But having said that, this Dengzhou is not Hebei Road, and the official business is still the first priority for salt.

However, if Dengzhou can really make good use of the vast beaches to make salt from the sun, for Da Song, this is equivalent to adding another important source of salt.

Another point, Gao Zhang told Zongze that the country of Wa is rich in high-quality copper and silver, if it is possible to exchange the salt that the country of Wa urgently needs for the other party's copper and silver.

Whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the Wa Kingdom, each can be regarded as taking what it needs.
