Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 627 Fish and Shrimp
When Yun Yiyi came back, there was less edible salt in the salt jar, but she didn't care about it. After a few days, she called everyone up.

"The sun is just right now, let's make salt together."

Salt needs to be exposed to the sun. It is a good time to save salt at this time.

"Can we make it together?" Doctor Fang was overjoyed. He only needed to do his own thing well before, and he didn't join in other arrangements. If he knew he could do it together, he wouldn't have done it. Should be idle.Thinking back to the days before, he actually played mahjong with everyone, thinking about it now, it was a waste of time.

Normally, Yun Yiyi would not order them, of course, it was physical work after all.This time, the county magistrate Zhong was very happy and happily wanted to go with him.

She raised her eyebrows and nodded, you can take a look too.

Anyway, they spent a lot of time in Fushan County, so they were idle too.

Yun Yiyi has thought of some methods these days, how to make finer salt, Doctor Fang said that he was afraid that the salt would be harmful to the body, but he was unequivocal when eating vegetables, now he can go and experience salt How it was made, the face is full of joy.

The county has a large population, so such a small amount of salt is naturally not enough, so she mobilized collective forces to make salt together. In order to make sure that each step does not go wrong, she originally wrote down all the steps, but because of the large population in the county, she Instead of showing them the steps, she used a dictation method and asked the people below to follow her method. This is also to prevent the method of making salt in the future from falling into the hands of people from other countries.

If it is not written down, the risk will naturally be reduced a lot.

Physician Fang also joined in, but after looking at it for a while, he was confused. He pointed to a substance and said, "What is this?"

Yun Yiyi glanced at it and said, "Sand."

Physician Fang: "Why do you put sand in the salt?"

Yun Yiyi didn't speak, after all, she couldn't explain it clearly to an ancient person.

"Ma'am, will we be blamed for making these salts?" A man said cautiously. He didn't know much, and only knew that making private salt was illegal.

"What is the blame? Who dares to blame Madam, we will fight with him. If we don't eat salt, will we starve to death?" Another person immediately shouted, this sentence almost expressed everyone's heart.

That's right, they don't want to die. Now that they listen to Yun Yiyi's words, why don't they dare to help themselves anymore? They want to live, and only by following Yun Yiyi can they live a good life.

Now, they haven't left Fushan County, but they are not stupid about what's going on outside. They can basically guess that if they were allowed to stay in the county, the county would have fallen long ago. At that time, they didn't even have a home.

Doctor Fang said: "Don't worry, we didn't violate the law. This is salt from well water, not sea water. Besides, this is refined salt, not coarse salt. We didn't make salt for profit." So if the emperor Knowing that, instead of blaming them, I will praise them.

As soon as Doctor Fang finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This ancient salt is very valuable. One catty of salt can be exchanged for twenty catties of grain, which shows that the value is very high.However, salt is monopolized by the government. If you sell private salt, it is a crime of beheading. Even so, there are still many people who sell private salt, because the profits are huge. People will do it.

As far as Yun Yiyi knows, part of the salt of Da Zhou came from Qiang country. After all, Qiang country has a lot of sea water, it is a big salt-making country, and part of it is produced by Da Zhou country itself. Da Zhou country is very big, and there are places near the sea , there is the best place to produce salt.Their method of making salt is also simple. The seawater itself is salty. You only need to take out the seawater and put it in the sun to dry it, then you can produce salt.

However, the magazine of this kind of salt is very good, but it is actually not good for the body.But it is estimated that ordinary people are used to eating these salts, and their bodies have a certain resistance, so they have gotten used to it after so many years.This is not alarmist talk. After all, during the famine, there were still refugees who ate tree bark and soil, but they still lived very well. Speaking of it, it is a miracle.

The official salt has at least been inspected, and its color is still white, but the salt sold by private individuals is not so particular. They just dry the sea water for profit. After a lot of salt comes out, there are yellow and lumps Yes, it doesn't matter, as long as it tastes a little salty, besides, their price is cheaper than the official salt, so there is no profit at all for squeezing the official salt.

The government wanted to make money, and if these people blocked their way, they would naturally suppress them. Therefore, since ancient times, anyone who sold private salt was a felony.After all, the government also makes money!

Yun Yiyi knew about these things.The salt she makes is actually not refined salt, and there are many magazines. After all, she can only extract salt by physical methods, and cannot extract salt by chemical methods.

There are no chemical reagents in this ancient time, if she can get chemicals, it will be against the sky.So she can only make slightly edible salt.

"Actually, well water and sea water are the same. If there is sea water, the salt extracted using the same method is still fine and white." Yun Yiyi instructed them to say.

"Really? It's a pity that we don't have sea water here." The county magistrate said, he is now working with his sleeves rolled up, without airs at all.

There are many rivers on their side, but no sea.

Yun Yiyi felt that it was a bit of a pity, there is still sea water in Da Zhou, if she has time, she must go and see it, the sea water is so beautiful, that kind of spectacular scene is the best scenery.

Yun Yiyi nodded with a smile.

Even so, she did not dare to make salt from sea water, lest it would be a reality, and she should hand it over to the court in the future.

Fushan County has a lot of well water and a lot of work to do, but there are a lot of farmers here, and as long as they give an order, everyone will come, and they will work hard to do what they are asked to do, which is completely different from the refugees outside.

After all, these people have harvested tens of thousands of catties of grain.

They ate a lot of food, not only their mouths were soft, but their hands were also soft, as if they had been tamed to the point of obedience.If the common people are not full, then it is estimated to be another situation.After all, there are a lot of chaotic places and people who are against it.

Doctor Fang also found some fun in the process of making salt.

As an imperial doctor, he is usually well-clothed and well-fed, and he lives very well. Even if he sees a doctor, he treats the nobles of the palace. It is estimated that there will be no communication with these people.

Interesting.

He also panicked at first, and before leaving, he parted with his family so that they would not have to worry about it.Later, after staying in Fushan County for a period of time, he was even more disturbed when he learned that the emperor would not distribute food to them for the time being.But these anxieties disappeared in the end, and his thoughts are probably the same as all the people here.

There is a virtuous person covering Fushan County, which can really make people feel at ease.

That's all for Yan Qinghe, his wife is even more amazing, she seems to have countless secrets, but they don't care about it, and they don't have the slightest airs, even with ordinary people, they can get along very well , he also saw it, and took off the protective layer on his body casually.

It was too hot, Yun Yiyi made two hats, one for herself and the other for herself, and then went to teach everyone how to fish.

There are two methods of fishing, one is to use fishing nets, and the other is to use hooks. The current hooks are not up to standard. Many fish run away after eating food, which makes the owner very angry. Therefore, Yun Yiyi asked everyone to make fishing nets out.

The gaps in the fishing nets are also very large. The main thing is to let them catch the big fish and let the small fish go, because they need to know how to increase income and reduce expenditure, catch the big fish and let the small fish reproduce by themselves, so that more fish can be raised.

Of course, there are also some master fishermen who can catch fish directly with a fork.

At this time, when there are the most fish, you can see all kinds of fish swimming around in the stream.

Looking at Yun Yiyi, she felt a little nostalgic. She built a fish pond before, and there were a lot of fish in it. After she left, she asked Mother Yan to raise fish in it. There were only a few fish left, Mother Yan said, they did raise them before, but after the famine, they ate a lot.

The fish raised in the fish pond are naturally more secure, because these fish are in place and can be eaten at any time.

Thinking this way, she told everyone how to make fish ponds, but she didn't let every household raise fish.

With her suggestion, many people began to dig ponds in suitable places. Because of her experience, she was very handy in letting people cultivate fish ponds this time.

After Doctor Fang saw it, he praised: "It is a good way to raise the fish by itself. How long can such fish be kept?"

Many fishermen also know how to raise fish, but they only raise them for a few days, because the fish will die after a while, but it doesn't matter, anyway, they go to sell the fish every day, and they will be sold out in a few days.

"As long as it's managed well, there's nothing wrong with raising it for a year or so." Yun Yiyi said, she didn't really know, but she felt that the water quality of the fish pond was fine, and if she fed the fish, it would definitely last forever. She raised fish in her first fish pond for a year and a half, and now she can just say a time.

The famine this time will at least last until winter. She asked the people to hoard fish to solve their food needs. If the fish ponds they built can no longer hold up after this incident, that's fine. At least they've made it through.

"One year?" Physician Fang was shocked, how long could it take?
"That's right." Yun Yiyi said, "At least it can last until this winter."

"How did it take so long? I thought it would be a few days at most. Is there anything special about this fish pond? How can the fish live for so long?"

Yun Yiyi: "...."

It's not surprising, but these days, she is used to seeing all kinds of weird questions from Doctor Fang, and she doesn't bother her.

"It's just ordinary water, and fish grow in such an environment."

She didn't explain the rest. After all, after the people built the fish pond, they didn't ask too much. They just did it. Seeing all kinds of fish swimming around, they felt safe in their hearts.

This is what Madam told them, as long as they keep fish, they can eat whatever they want, even if there is a shortage of food, they are not afraid of starving to death, although they are not worried about these situations at all now.It is not troublesome to raise fish, and they are all caught from the river. The cost is low, and they feel that it is not a loss.

If chickens and ducks are raised, these small animals will cost food. If they are not raised well, the chickens and ducks will die, and they will get nothing.

But the fish are different. Although they spent a lot of time digging fish ponds in the early stage, they don't feel sorry for the fish even if they can't be raised well.

Fish in this era are not worth much because they are everywhere, but it is very rare to catch enough fish to feed one's hunger. This method is simply fantastic.

In fact, apart from fish, there are all kinds of wild animals in the mountain. At this time, Orion can still hunt in the mountain, but it is too dangerous. Not everyone can eat this bowl of rice, so everyone is more willing to go to the river to touch it. luck.

Anyway, their recent meat dishes are basically fish and shrimp from the river.
