Chapter 287: Pier and Salt Field

Yang Zhengshan returned to the Acropolis in the evening.

At this time, many servants in the Yang family's yard were busy packing things, and Yang Zhengshan happened to see them when he returned to the main yard.

"Mingcheng, how are you cleaning up?"

When Yang Mingcheng heard his voice, he quickly put down the things in his hands and ran over and said, "Dad, we have almost packed everything. We can set off tomorrow!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "Come on, come with me to the study for a while!"

After that, the two went to the study room in the main courtyard.

As soon as the two of them entered the study, Qingxia made a pot of tea and brought it to them.

Yang Zhengshan took a sip of tea and said, "This time you go to Kyoto, I have two things for you to do!"

"Dad, tell me!" Yang Mingcheng held the tea bowl and said seriously.

Yang Zhengshan continued: "The first thing is to go and see your little sister! I always worry about her!"

In the past, when Yang Yunxue was at home, he didn't think about her all day long, but since he got married, especially after going to Kyoto, he often thought about her, for fear that the little girl would not have a good life in Kyoto.

She is obviously not her biological daughter, but the old father's heart still cannot calm down.

Don't blame Yang Zhengshan for being pretentious, after all, Yang Yunxue can be regarded as the girl he raised.

From the age of ten to sixteen, raising a yellow-haired girl into a graceful and generous girl is better than being a daughter-in-law.

In comparison, others were not good. Yang Mingzhi was also outside before, but Yang Zhengshan rarely thought of this cheap son.

It was not because Yang Zhengshan favored girls over boys, but Yang Mingzhi was already an adult when he came to the Yang family, which made him not have the feeling of raising a child.

"Dad, I know, I will go to see my little sister!" Yang Mingcheng also thought about his little sister. Even if Yang Zhengshan didn't mention it, he would definitely go to see Yang Yunxue.

"The second thing~~"

Yang Zhengshan pondered for a moment and said: "General Zhou will get married in May this year. You don't have to come back in a hurry. You will come back after General Zhou gets married. After a while, I will send someone to send the congratulatory gifts to Kyoto. At that time, you will express your gratitude to General Zhou on behalf of your father." Congratulations."

Zhou Lan's marriage is scheduled for the eighth day of May, and the Spring Festival is in March, and the imperial examination is in April. If everything goes well, Lu Wenyuan will have to wait until at least May to come back. If not, he will have to wait until April. OK.

"Oh, I know, I will go and congratulate General Zhou when the time comes!" Yang Mingcheng said honestly.

"Well, in addition, you should go and see Mr. Liu more, and Prince Zhou, you should also pay a visit on behalf of your father!"

Yang Zhengshan said.

Zhou Shizi is also Zhou Xu, Zhou Lan's eldest brother.

These are all the connections of the Yang family, so it would be good to move around more.

Years ago, Yang Minghao went to Kyoto, and because it was relatively close, he came back after delivering the New Year's gifts. This time, Yang Mingcheng had no other important matters besides escorting Lu Wenyuan, so he was asked to walk around Kyoto more.

"Yes, Dad, I understand!" Yang Mingcheng responded one by one.

Early the next morning, Yang Mingcheng left the Acropolis in a carriage with eight guards.

They need to go to the Lu family in Anning County first, and then go to Kyoto with Lu Wenyuan.

Lu Wenyuan is not alone. Many of his classmates will go to Beijing to take the exam together.

After sending Yang Mingcheng away, Yang Zhengshan devoted all his thoughts to official duties.

As time passed by, Tenglongwei became busier and busier.

As the weather gets warmer, there is more to do.

Before we knew it, it was mid-March.

The cold wave has subsided and the warm southeasterly wind has blown into Liaodong. Tenglongwei has ushered in a new spring, and spring plowing has begun.

Walking along the village trails, you can see many military households farming in the flat fields on both sides.

Yang Zhengshan took Jiang He and his entourage from the Acropolis all the way east, looking at the busy military households in the fields, and felt very good.

God is willing, this year will be a good harvest year.

This is very important to Yang Zhengshan, and also very important to everyone in Tenglong Guard.

Because this year is a new beginning, and if natural disasters continue, the beginning will be delayed until next year, or even several years later.

Fortunately, God favors him, and Yang Zhengshan is confident that everything in Tenglong Wei will be different this year.

The group of people rode on horseback for more than half an hour and arrived at the beach.

To the east of Tenglongwei is the vast Liaohai Sea, which borders Liaodong to the west, the Lisheng Dynasty to the north, the Desheng Dynasty to the east, and the Darong East China Sea to the south.

However, the coastline of Tenglongwei is not very long, less than 60 miles. After all, Tenglongwei is just a guard, and its reputation is not as big as that of a county.

Yang Zhengshan stood on the coast, looking at the vast sea and feeling the breath from the sea. He couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart and wanted to compose a poem.

However, he racked his brain and couldn't come up with any good words. There was only one sentence in his mind, "The sea, everything is water!"

Ahem~~

Yang Zhengshan coughed lightly and felt that writing poetry was better off, it was not suitable for him.

After coming to this world, he has never studied the poetry and songs of this world. As for the past life, he has paid back everything that should be paid and forgotten everything that should be forgotten. Although he can still remember one or two sentences, he has no clue. He was too embarrassed to pronounce it.

It was enough to feel the breath of the sea. Yang Zhengshan did not forget the purpose of this trip.

He looked towards the north and south. The terrain of Tenglongwei was relatively flat. Except for a few hills in the south, the rest of the area was flat.

"Is there a suitable place to build a dock here?" Yang Zhengshan asked Jiang He beside him.

Jiang He pointed to the south and said, "Ten miles south, the coast over there is more suitable for building a dock."

"Let's go and have a look!" Yang Zhengshan jumped on his horse and ran south again.

Soon, they came to the place Jiang He said. There was a piece of land extending into the sea. It was not big, about three hundred feet, and it should be considered a mountain, but this mountain was not high, only more than two feet higher than the coast in other places.

Yang Zhengshan looked at it and tried the depth of the shore. He found that there was no need to build here to use it as a dock.

"Not bad!"

"Sir, in fact, this was a dock before. In the previous dynasty, there was a small fishing village here, but it disappeared because of the war later!" Jiang He said.

The previous dynasty he mentioned was the Dasheng Dynasty before Dayong. The most prosperous period of the Dasheng Dynasty was far beyond the current Dayong. This can be seen from several island dynasties overseas.

Li Sheng Dynasty, De Sheng Dynasty, and Lv Sheng Dynasty were all subordinate dynasties of Da Sheng Dynasty, and their country names were granted by Da Sheng Dynasty.

However, no matter how powerful a dynasty is, it will decline one day. Now Darong Dynasty has been established for more than 300 years, and the once powerful Da Sheng Dynasty has been completely submerged in the long river of history.

Yang Zhengshan naturally doesn't care about Da Sheng Imperial City. What he cares about is that there is a suitable place to build a dock here.

In addition to finding a place to build a dock, his purpose of coming to the seaside this time is to find a place suitable for building a salt field.

Live by the mountain and live by the water.

Tenglongwei lives by the sea and naturally lives by the sea.

How to live by the sea?

Fishing?

No, how much money can you make from fishing!

Compared with fishing, drying salt is the real gold mine.

Building a salt field, being a salt merchant, producing and selling by yourself, this is the real way to make money.

As long as this way of wealth can be opened up, both Tenglongwei and Yang family will not lack money in the future.

However, it is not easy to open up this financial path, and Yang Zhengshan still needs to plan carefully.

After returning to the Acropolis from the seaside, Yang Zhengshan began to think about it in the study.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Zhengshan still had no idea, so he invited Liu Zhe to come.

Although Liu Zhe had neither official status nor fame, he saw more clearly than Yang Zhengshan in many things, especially about government affairs. Liu Zhe was influenced by Liu Yuanfu all day long, so he naturally had some insight.

In the study, Yang Zhengshan and Liu Zhe sat opposite each other.

There was a set of blue-and-white glazed flower-shaped tea sets on the tea table. Yang Zhengshan personally poured a cup of tea for Liu Zhe and said with a smile: "How about trying this tea?"

Liu Zhe took a sip of the tea, then tasted it carefully, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What kind of tea is this?"

"The tea has a strong aroma, a long aftertaste, and a lingering refreshing smell. It's a bit like Biluochun in Wuzhong, but the aftertaste is longer than Biluochun, and the refreshing smell is more delicate!"

Liu Zhe likes to drink tea very much. He is familiar with every kind of tea in Darong, but the pot of tea in front of him is something he has never drunk before, and he has never even heard of it.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "This tea is called Donglingchun!"

"Donglingchun!" Liu Zhe showed a confused look.

Yang Zhengshan was laughing secretly.

The so-called Donglingchun is the tea from Lingquan space, which is taken from the meaning of 'looking inside the cave, there is a spiritual palace inside'.

It is not wrong to say that Lingquan space is the spiritual palace, and the tea from the spiritual palace is also called Donglingchun.

"Hahaha~~" Yang Zhengshan suddenly laughed, "Brother Liu, don't bother your brain, this is just wild mountain tea on Changqing Mountain!"

"Wild mountain tea!"

Liu Zhe was a little unconvinced.

Yang Zhengshan naturally couldn't tell him that this was tea from the Lingquan space, so he could only use wild tea to fool him.

In fact, there are really wild teas on Changqing Mountain, but the winter in Liaodong is cold and long, which is not suitable for tea trees to grow, so there are not many wild teas on Changqing Mountain.

However, the wild tea on Changqing Mountain also has a different taste. Because of the short spring and summer, the tea leaves of the wild tea on Changqing Mountain are tender and thick, with a long growth cycle, more nutrients absorbed, and the brewed tea has a high aroma and strong taste.

Although it is not as clear as the southern tea, it is also very good to taste it occasionally.

Of course, compared with the tea in the Lingquan space, the wild tea should be thrown away.

"I didn't expect there to be such a good thing on Changqing Mountain!" Although Liu Zhe didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't doubt that Yang Zhengshan was lying to him.

He just felt that such tea should not be unknown.

"If Brother Liu likes it, I will give Brother Liu some in a while!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

This is the first time that the tea trees in Lingquan Space produce tea this year. Although the yield is not high, it is still no problem to give away a few dozen kilograms.

"Will it be too much trouble?"

"No trouble, just a little bit of hometown specialty." Yang Zhengshan said casually.
