Chapter 1693 Fighting Five Tigers Shen Long Shows His Power
"Jianweijun? I heard that Zifeng's high opinion is like drinking alcohol, and I am waiting for frequent consultation. If I go to Jianwei, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to communicate with letters. I can't always hear what Zifeng has to say!" Liu Bei originally wanted to say that Jianweijun was wrong. In the barren land, Shen Long may not have room to play, but then he thought that Li Yan had also served as the prefect of Jian before, and Li Yan might not be very happy to hear this, so he hurriedly changed the wording.
"Uncle Huang praises it. Uncle Huang has Mr. Kong Ming, Mr. Zhengfang, Liu Shangshu and many other talents under his command. I am just a late learner. How can I compare with you gentlemen?" Shen Long first praised Zhuge Liang, Li Yan, Liu Ba and others talked about it, and then they praised Li Yan, "I heard that Mr. Zhengfang had dug Tianshe Mountain, built roads along the river, built a large number of construction projects, and renovated the county city, so that the officials and the people were happy. The building is majestic, and it is a state of Shengyu; if you can go to Jianwei and see the city built by Mr. Zhengfang, it will be a great blessing."
This is also Li Yan's proud handwriting, now he is overjoyed to hear Shen Long's words, he nodded slightly to Shen Long with a smile on his face, and Liu Bei also praised him, so Li Yan's face became more and more colorful.
"The key is the benefit of well salt since ancient times. I have a method to make the key double the salt output. In this way, the treasury should be sufficient." Key is the five counties under the jurisdiction of Wuyang, Nan'an, Bodao, Zizhong, and Niudao. Most of Zigong, which is famous for its salt wells in later generations, is located in Jianwei County. Now some people dig wells for salt here. The famous salt wells include Fushi Well and Dagong Well.
Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Sang Hongyang's suggestion and nationalized the profits of salt and iron, salt and iron have always been the best means for the country to make money. The well salt of the county is now one of the most important sources of income in Sichuan. The importance of Sichuan Brocade is still higher. When everyone heard that Shen Long could double the well salt production in Jianwei County, they couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly asked about the strategy.
Shen Long began to explain in detail that Zigong Salt Industry has unique development conditions. It has two resources of well salt and natural gas, so local people can use natural gas to cook salt, which greatly reduces the cost; but due to the development of the times, the production here The technology is still very primitive, and it only needs to be changed slightly to greatly improve production efficiency.
Shen Long asked for a pen and paper to start sketching, "I heard that now the key is to cook salt, and it is often five pots in one stove. If I use my method, it can be increased to fourteen pots in one stove, or even twenty-eight pots in two stoves!" It can greatly improve the utilization rate of heat, and the same amount of natural gas can cook more salt.
Shen Long also suggested a live demonstration. Zhuge Liang immediately ordered people to prepare pots and stove firewood. After experimenting with the method instructed by Shen Long, he found that the same amount of firewood could indeed boil more water.
"I don't like to win Fancheng, but I like to meet Zifeng!" Liu Bei happily took Shen Long's hand and sighed again and again, "Although Fancheng is important, it is nothing more than a city after all; The prosperity of Sichuan is in sight, and the people in Sichuan can no longer worry about eating salt because of Zifeng, this is a great merit!"
Zhuge Liang was also very excited. If Shen Long could expand the scale of well salt in Jianwei County several times, then there would be abundant financial resources in the middle of Sichuan, so he could make a big difference. He immediately asked Shen Long if he needed help.
Shen Long was not too polite, and directly appointed a famous minister of the Shu Kingdom who was not well-known but capable, to help, "I heard that Wang Lian and Wang Wenyi, the magistrate of Guangdu County, are quite talented and know how to use them well. Please use Wang Wenyi as deputy! "
In the future, Wang Lian will serve as the commander of the salt department of the Shu Kingdom. He has managed the salt industry for decades, accumulated a wealth of money in the Shu Han, and strengthened the country. This job is just a transition, but he doesn't plan to keep working. Chengdu and Jingzhou are his main battlefields. After the reform of the salt industry in Jianwei County is completed, he can hand over this job to Wang Lian and return to Chengdu.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang readily accepted Shen Long's request, and immediately appointed him as Jian and prefect.
He also summoned Wang Lian to Chengdu, and went to Jianwei County with Shen Long to take office.
After the matter was agreed upon, Shen Long temporarily lived in Chengdu while discussing political affairs with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others, while waiting for Wang Lian's arrival; during the second period, Shen Long also enjoyed the treatment that Guan Yu had under Cao Cao back then, with a small banquet for three days and a small banquet for five days A big feast, that is quite pleasant.
This day coincided with Xiumu, and Zhang Fei, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, dragged Zhao Yun into the mansion, and had to compete with Shen Long if he said anything. Since the battle of Ma Chao at Jiameng Pass, Zhang Fei has never met again. The opponent who can fight him has long been suffocated.
Of course, Shen Long also wanted to compete with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. If he readily accepted the appointment and went to the school grounds outside the city with the two of them, he heard that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were going to compete with Shen Long and Shen Zifeng, who had just arrived in Chengdu. They all rushed to watch the excitement, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao also came, now Guan Yu is the only one of the five tiger generals missing.
Arriving at the school grounds, Shen Long and Zhang Fei each wore their black robes, Zhang Fei's black robes, and Shen Long's white robes and silver armors, forming a stark contrast. They ran around the school grounds for a few laps. With a shout, he straightened out the Zhangba Snake Spear and attacked Shen Long. The sound was like thunder, and the move seemed to have a powerful force.
"Good time!" Shen Long didn't evade, he raised his spear and headed towards Zhang Fei, only to hear a loud bang, not only was Shen Long not suppressed by Zhang Fei, he even picked up his snake spear.
"There is such supernatural power!" Ma Chao was excited for a moment, and immediately stood up, "Chao has already experienced the fierceness of Yide, and this Shen Zifeng's strength is probably even higher than that tiger idiot Xu Chu!" Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, Xu Chu They have all been singled out, and Xu Chu has always been known for his supernatural power, but in the first round of the battle between the two sides, Ma Chao has already seen that Shen Long's strength is definitely stronger than Zhang Fei and Xu Chu.
"This is also the first time Yun has seen someone surpass Yide in terms of strength! This battle was beautiful!" Zhao Yun looked calm on the surface, but his heart was full of fighting spirit. If I play in a while, how should I deal with it?
"Ahem, this old man is old, I'm afraid he can't beat Shen Zifeng in fighting on horseback, but I don't know how good his archery skills are, but this old man can still draw a bow!" Huang Zhong coughed a few times and said, since Dingjun killed Xiahou, Huang Zhong's health has not been very good, if there is no Shen Long, Huang Zhong will die next year.
"Haha, happy, happy!" Zhang Fei was not angry but happy, and once again brandished the snake spear to attack Shen Long. The two sides fought back and forth like lanterns. Also rushed to join the battle group.
