These days, with the arrival of Letai and other ink-controllers, Li Xuan sent his personal guards to send them sea fish several times.

In addition, there were only a few left of the guards of the King of Jin’s mansion and thousands of soldiers in the Zhechong Mansion in Qingzhou.

A few days ago, Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others went out to sea to catch fish again.

Therefore, when Li Xiaogong arrived at the boat port, he saw a net full of sea fish, slinging on the fish net, jumping around.

"The last general Cheng Duanbo met His Highness King Jin and His Highness Prince Hejian!"

Cheng Duanbo had been at the harbor of the ship, waiting for Li Xuan, Li Xiaogong and others.

"Emperor Cheng Du, you send someone to catch all these sea fish and clean them up!"

Li Xuan ordered directly.

"Catch it up?"

Cheng Duanbo looked stunned.

"That is, the Prince of Hejian, who was ordered by His Majesty, brought a thousand stones of coarse salt to help me dry these big fish into dried fish!"

Li Xuan explained by the way.

Although he was the King of Jin and was once famous, he still used Li Shimin's name to command more easily.

"Those fifty carriages?"

Hearing this, Cheng Duanbo couldn't help but subconsciously look at the neatly arranged carriages on the side.

"Will Commander Cheng check it if a carriage is filled with two stones of coarse salt?"

Seeing that Cheng Duanbo was still stunned, Li Xiaogong's face darkened and he said coldly.

"Your Highness forgives your sins. For the first time, Mo Jiang heard that he had to use so much coarse salt to dry the fish. He was shocked for a moment. So he sent someone to catch the fish!"

After saying that, Cheng Duanbo hurriedly ordered the soldiers.

Soldiers who grew up on the beach are familiar with cleaning up sea fish.

In addition, drying the dried fish is also very simple.

Therefore, hundreds of soldiers, in one day, hung up bunches of sea fish on the harbor.

The next day, after the fishing net was empty, Li Xuan took Cheng Duanbo, Li Chengqian, Li Xiaogong and others to go out to sea together.

The fishing was very smooth this time.

In less than an hour, under the shocked expression of Li Xiaogong's face, a big fish with thousands of stones in the fish net returned overloaded.

Then, a group of soldiers caught fish, cleaned the sea fish, marinated them with coarse salt, hung them into a string on the newly built rope, and started to dry them.

One pound of coarse salt can marinate three or four pounds of big fish.

Each of these sea fish is basically more than ten kilograms. It takes three or four kilograms of coarse salt to pickle a sea fish.

It took four days to pickle the 1,000 stones of coarse salt.

And on the beach in the harbor, there were already a bunch of big fish hanging in densely.

After three or four days of drying, these sea fish will completely turn into dried sea fish.

Li Xuan took a few at will, and with the look of expectation of Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and others, he asked the chef to steam the dried fish, cook and stir-fry the dried fish...

Then, pour a small plate of old vinegar.

Pick up a small piece of steamed dried fish, dip it in your mouth, and suddenly, a strong fish fragrance overflowed.

"It's so delicious?"

"Is such delicious dried fish actually used as military rations? Is it appropriate?"

As soon as Li Baoding finished speaking, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan glared at him directly.

“Why is it not suitable?”

"Don't be anxious about the Supreme Emperor and the Prince!"

Li Baoding laughed awkwardly and hurriedly explained: "Military rations are something that the soldiers use to satisfy their hunger, but such delicious dried fish is used to feed the soldiers, I am afraid that the soldiers' appetite will be three times larger.

In this way, soldiers who only need two kilograms of food to eat full on weekdays need to eat four kilograms of food a day. In this way, military rations will be even short of enough!"

After hearing this, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly. This matter was a big problem.

"This is easy!"

Li Xuan chuckled and said, "Dried fish can be used as a dish, so that the soldiers can eat with steamed buns and big cakes.

Moreover, if such delicious dried fish is transported to Chang'an City, countless wealthy families will inevitably want to eat.

In this way, a pound of dried fish is sold for 100 yuan, but it is not sold directly. Instead, the rich people need to exchange grain for food. Fifteen pounds of grain can be exchanged for one pound of dried sea fish!"

"This plan is very wonderful!"

After hearing this, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but look overjoyed.

"In this way, this thousand five hundred stones of dried fish can be exchanged for more than 22,000 stones of food!"

"Um!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "According to so many wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City, this 1,500-stone dried fish can be eaten."

"Please rest assured that Emperor and His Highness the King of Jin. After I bring these dried fish back to Chang'an City and let Your Majesty see the benefits of dried fish, I will definitely ask Your Majesty to send 10,000 stones of coarse salt. Please help your Highness the King of Jin and dry the dried fish!"

Li Xiaogong said quickly.

Hearing this, Li Xuan chuckled, "The matter of drying dried fish has always been made by Cheng Duanbo and the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion. As long as Your Majesty issues an edict and Cheng Duanbo agrees, there is no connection between having or not!"

Li Xiaogong's expression froze.

"Your Highness is serious. Cheng Duan Bo is just a mere lieutenant of Zhechong Mansion. How dare you not listen to the king!"

"hehe……"

Li Xuan chuckled, "What if all the commanders of the Zhechong Mansion in the Tang Dynasty listened to me?"

"Forehead!"

Li Xiaogong smiled and said nothing.

Immediately, after loading the 1,500-stone dried fish into the carriage, Li Xiaogong hurriedly took the fifty carriages to Chang'an City.

In Qingzhou City, Li Xuan, with Cheng Duanbo and others from Zhechong Mansion, had long been clearly investigated by a group of Qingzhou families.

Therefore, before Li Xiaogong had walked for two days, inside and outside Qingzhou City, there was a wave of drying dried fish inexplicably.

Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others looked angry again.

"You don't need to do this. The most important thing about drying dried fish is coarse salt. But, in the hands of these families, there is so much coarse salt?

Moreover, even if their family has money, they can use a lot of coarse salt to pickle dried fish, and in the end they can't compete with us. Those salt fields are all controlled by the court!"

Li Xuan was still calm in this regard. How could his skills be so easy to steal?

"Hehe, Master is wise!"

After understanding it, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but look happy.

A few days after that, Li Xuan and others were all leisurely and had nothing to do.

Until Li Xuan finally remembered that the Letai and other ink-controllers who had already arrived in Qingzhou who had already arrived in Letai from Lijiazhuang, so he traveled one day and took Li Chengqian, Li Yuan and others to the shipyard.

Li Xuan has many solutions to solve the power problem of the steel ship.

However, they are all from Mohu, and he only knows one rough idea.

However, for Letai and others, it was an inspiration that was like creating the world.

So, after many days of experimentation, the power direction of the Cangboat was finally determined!

Steam Turbine!

...

At the same time.

Li Xiaogong brought the 1,500-stone dried fish back to Chang'an City.

Similarly, three dried fish.

Steam one, boil one, fried one...

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling each placed a small plate of balsamic vinegar in front of each of them. After eating a piece of dipped it, it was fragrant and crispy.

"There is a scent in the world!"

After not a piece of the three fish were left, Li Shimin sighed with satisfaction.

...

ps: In the morning, another wisdom tooth buried in the flesh was extracted, which was three times larger than the front teeth. The dentist took an hour to extract it!

I feel like I'm going straight to the immortal......
