After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

So Tietou began to tell everything he knew about bicycles.

"A bicycle is a vehicle that can run without being pulled by cows or horses. I have never actually seen what it looks like.

But the master said that the bicycle can be moved just by pedaling with your legs."

"Elaborate."

As Bei Mingzi listened, he suddenly took out a pen and paper.

Tietou scratched his head again.

Bei Mingzi's serious look made him think of Mu Qing.

He told him everything he knew about the principles of the bicycle.

After listening to this, Bei Mingzi suddenly jumped from the idea of ​​bicycles to the war between Shucheng and Anping.

He didn't know what kind of personality Mu Qing had, but it was no surprise that such a smart person could capture three cities.

The mechanical techniques of the Mohists and Gongshujia could indeed help to achieve victory in a war by catching the enemy off guard.

I just don't know whether their Mohist disciples participated in this war.

The Mohist mechanical techniques were never used in war. If Wanqi Zixi and Wanqi Ziye were involved in this matter, the nature of the matter would be different.

Bei Mingzi suddenly became worried.

Since Mu Qing captured the three cities of Guangsha, Shu and Dao, he sent silver-armored soldiers to garrison them.

Guangsha has too much population deficit. Guangsha, which originally had twice the population of Anping, now has less population than Anping.

The people of Guangsha were the poorest among the three cities.

Mu Qing’s main task is to ensure that the people of Guangsha have enough to eat.

There is food security.

The maturity period of hybrid rice is about 120 days, and early rice matures in July in summer.

The mid-season and late-season rice are harvested around October.

Anping was not short of food at that time, and Huangxian was also enjoying a bumper harvest at the same time last year.

But now it is almost December, approaching winter, and without a greenhouse, replanting is unlikely.

There was not much work that could be done through work-for-relief, so Mu Qing temporarily revitalized the cement factory and brick factory in Guangsha.

There was no drought, and although the yield of millet and beans grown by the people of Guangsha was not high, they had no problem eating enough for the winter.

As usual, Mu Qing pushed the grain prices in these three cities back to normal market prices, and then sold the grain collected by the refugee army at this price.

Next is the issue of keeping warm. Burning charcoal in winter can prevent people from freezing to death.

By building a charcoal factory and distributing white charcoal, after doing these two things, it should not be difficult for the people in these three cities to get through the winter.

Next came the oyster sauce and MSG that Mu Qing had been craving for.

Shuzhou and Daozhou are now called Shucheng and Daocheng.

These two cities are close to the sea. If they can produce oyster sauce and MSG, and add seafood, there will be no problem with economic development.

Marine resources include energy resources, mineral resources, biological resources, and space resources.

Energy resources include oceans, tides, waves, temperature differences, salinity differences, etc.;

This area is still a blank in this world.

Mineral resources include sand mines, seabed coal mines, metals, natural gas, salt, etc.;

Don’t even think about underwater coal mines for now, as underwater mining is too difficult for ordinary people.

The final animal resources: sea turtles, dolphins, fish, etc., and plant resources: benthic algae, green algae, brown algae, kelp, etc.

These two major resources and the salt mines can be utilized first.

The sea has a very high salt content, and the first thing Mu Qing thought of when he captured Shucheng was sea salt.

When the shivering Mu Qing brought the equally shivering Yue Hong to the sea of ​​Shucheng in the cold winter, Yue Hong looked at the vast ocean hesitantly and said weakly:

"This sea is all water, it seems there are no salt mines."

“This water is it.”

Mu Qing held the freezing cold sea water in his hands, unable to conceal the joy on his face.

"seawater?"

"It's sea salt."

Yuehong had never seen the sea, but she seemed to have seen the sea salt that Mu Qing mentioned in a book.

Li Min followed Mu Qing and Yue Hong who were freezing cold, but he was strolling leisurely on the beach as if nothing had happened.

Li Min knew that there was a way to make sea salt, so he blurted out:

“Boiled sea salt is called ‘Ao Bo’, or boiled sea salt.”

After being reminded by Li Min, Yuehong gradually showed joy on her face:

"You can get sea salt by boiling seawater?"

Mu Qing nodded. Even if the sea salt is dried directly, it still contains many minerals. Just like the salt mines on land, it needs to be purified and filtered repeatedly.

King Liu Bi of Wu and King Liu An of Huainan both used to boil salt and mint coins in the mountains, and both used this to accumulate wealth and then rebelled.

This shows the value of sea salt.

Mu Qing built a salt factory in Shucheng to make sea salt before spring.

In addition to sea salt, Mu Qing finally found oysters after the tide receded.

The moment she saw the oysters, she almost dropped the basket in her hands.

Damn, so many.

The reefs are densely covered with wild oysters.

Mu Qing couldn't see it all with his eyes.

Wild oysters mainly grow on rocks near the sea.

After rushing to the sea for so long, Mu Qing quickly walked to the reef.

“It’s sent! It’s sent!”

Li Min and Yue Hong didn't know why Mu Qing was screaming. When they walked to the reef, they saw Mu Qing prying pieces of stone-like objects apart.

"Oyster room?"

Li Min immediately recognized that what Mu Qing dug was oysters.

The Illustrated Classic of Materia Medica records: "Nowadays, it can be found along the coast, and is especially abundant in the South China Sea, Fujian, and Tongtai. It grows on rocks, connected like a house, so it is called an oyster house."

Li Min knows its medicinal value:

"Oyster shell is just a medicinal herb. It takes a lot of effort to dig it up."

"It's not a big deal. The oyster house can make oyster sauce, and it tastes delicious."

"tasty?"

Li Min began to doubt Mu Qing's arrival, but he had never thought so before, after all, Mu Qing's cooking was delicious.

But the castrated piglets have not been marketed yet. Ever since Li Min was tricked by Mu Qing with the braised pork for so long, he began to doubt Mu Qing.

How come this child said the pork was delicious, and even the oyster shellfish said it was delicious?

Li Min became deeply suspicious of Mu Qing's unique taste.

May to August is the breeding season for oysters, during which time the quality and taste of the oysters will be poor.

The best eating period for oysters is usually from September to April of the following year.

During this period, the oysters are tender and delicious.

After seeing so many oysters, Mu Qing happily decided on the menu for the next meal.

Garlic vermicelli oysters, oyster pancakes, oysters with scallion oil...

It can also be paired with seafood such as Shanghai fish and clams.

The ingredients for a seafood feast are all ready.
