After reading the report about the increasingly popular salty goods business, Li Anran shook his head and laughed. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the three books written by an author named Jing Keshou that he had read in the main time and space before.

Popular online novels.

In the three online novels written by the other party, they all mentioned the plot of the protagonist using salty goods trade to "conquer the world" and rejuvenate the country. For this reason, the author was criticized nnn times by many readers.

, and was also nicknamed the Salted Fish Emperor.

In fact, Li Anran's view of the setting of rejuvenating the country with salty goods is not completely unreasonable.

When it comes to rejuvenating a country, some people may say that we need to conquer the world with guns, others may say that we must rely on a perfect social system, and some may say that we need developed agriculture, commerce, and industry to achieve this. In fact, these are all unavoidable.

Make a character.

Without people, no matter how good the weapon is, it is just a pile of scrap metal. Without people, no matter how perfect the social system is, it is just empty talk. Without people, developed agriculture, commerce and industry will ultimately be just a mirror image.

Just like the classic advertising slogan used by a large company that was once very impressive in the field of digital communications in later generations, human society is inseparable from "people-oriented" in every aspect.

Why are China, India, Egypt, and Greece, which have thousands of years of civilization, not as developed as the United States, which has only a few hundred years of history? Regardless of concepts or technology, in the final analysis, it is because of problems with people.

Needless to say, take gunpowder among the four great inventions as an example.

This thing was the first one invented by our ancestors, but what happened? After it was invented, it was only used in firecrackers, fireworks, and so-called alchemy. After finally inventing a powerful firearm, we stopped making progress.

.

Even those powerful weapons that were invented could only be left to rust in warehouses. Therefore, in just a few decades, foreigners who "stole" the invention of gunpowder were able to catch up, not to mention, they were quickly replaced.

Being thrown out of nnn streets,

The other three inventions were not much better. Even though they were all invented by our ancestors, in the end they were basically carried forward in the hands of foreigners. In the end, a powerful country with tens of thousands of countries descended into nothing but

to the point of wanton invasion.

As for what this has to do with salty goods, it is actually very simple. Whether you want to have a strong enough army, establish a complete social system, or develop strong agriculture, industry and commerce, it is inseparable from sufficient health and

strong person.

Cheap and plentiful salty goods can improve the living conditions of ordinary people to a great extent. With enough salt and meat, physical problems caused by lack of salt and nutrition will be improved, and the physical condition will change.

Be strong.

With a strong body, you can become an elite soldier after training, and you can become a knowledgeable person through study. At the same time, you can also start as an apprentice, grow rapidly in the fields of agriculture, industry, and commerce, and eventually become a journeyman or even a master.

level person.

Well, Li Anran actually knows that his idea is really weird. However, it is just like the story of a country lost by a horseshoe nail. Who can deny that the existence of salty goods cannot play a vital role in a country?

important role.

Of course, Li Anran only had fun with this problem. Anyway, the cost of these salted goods, especially salted fish, was pitifully low for him. The improved fishing boats could easily harvest tens of thousands of kilograms of fresh sea fish every day.

There is no way, the marine resources during the Tang Dynasty were far from becoming scarce due to overfishing like in later generations. No, in addition to various common and uncommon, ordinary or expensive sea fish, you can also harvest various kinds of fish every time

Shrimp, jellyfish, crab, squid, etc.

Under Su Xiaomei's suggestion, every time those people below returned home with a full load, they would arrange for manpower to sort the seafood and then carry out further processing. The prices of the salty products produced by different grades of seafood also increased accordingly.

Low.

Similarly, salted fish, Spanish mackerel, mackerel and hairtail, which are the most widely caught common fish, are naturally the cheapest. And high-end species such as yellow croaker, tuna, grouper, etc., are naturally much more expensive.

few.

Of course, the high price here is only relative to those of maritime merchants. In Li Anran's place, there is no distinction between high-end and low-end. In addition to the difficulty in controlling the output, the cost of deep processing is basically the same, which is frighteningly low.

As for seafood represented by sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops, oysters, etc., which were very expensive in later generations, although they were not considered good things during the Tang Dynasty, especially in offshore cities, they were used by speedboats in special fish ponds.

After being raised, kept as fresh as possible and sent to the mainland, it is definitely not something ordinary people can afford to eat.

Li Anran, who originally had some headaches as Liuqiu Island had just begun to develop and could not produce any special products in a short period of time, was inspired by the salted fish incident and simply asked Su Xiaomei to increase fishing for seafood.

and the development and operation efforts of deep processing.

As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains; if you rely on the water, you will eat the water.

Liuqiu Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides. If we don't develop the unique marine resources, wouldn't we be mentally ill?

What's more, seafood was originally a high-end food ingredient in ancient times. In addition, it has solved the problems of transportation and how to ensure that these seafood are fresh enough and deeply processed. It is difficult for this business to be prosperous, and it can be used as a feature of Liuqiu Island.

product.

Of course, Li Anran did not just focus on seafood. Although there are not many products on Liuqiu Island, he could not help himself to transform the environment and even the climate, and then use artificial cultivation to make the island's products

The produce became abundant.

By then, the goods for sale at the four major ports will no longer be limited to seafood. Everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, and even the four most popular items are porcelain, tea, silk, and spices.

The products can also be produced and sold by oneself.

With the multifunctional exploration spacecraft providing technical support, Li Anran is very confident that it will not take long for Liuqiu Island to become the most lively maritime trade center in Asia. And the reputation of Ares Palace will also follow the maritime trade routes.

spread.

In fact, the issue of money is really not important at all to Li Anran, who already owns n gold mines, n silver mines, nnn copper mines, and resource points spread across all continents and regions throughout the Tang Dynasty.

.

The reason why four ports were established was because Liuqiu Island, which is later Taiwan, does have a unique advantage in geographical location. Otherwise, a certain bald man would not arrange his escape route in this place and continue to do so.

Go down.

According to military strategists, Liuqiu Island is definitely a battleground for military strategists in Asia, especially Southeast Asia and South Asia. If not for the various restrictions on naval warfare during the Tang Dynasty, it did not have enough importance.

, it is impossible for this place to remain until now.

Although in Li Anran's plan, he did not intend to unify the earth. But as a god, he can't even have a territory of his own. Moreover, with the God of War Palace on Liuqiu Island, all Southeast Asian countries

You can't escape your own control.

Even though it is impossible to personally participate in the development of these countries, you can use these countries as "breeding areas". On the one hand, you can provide yourself with a large amount of materials, and on the other hand, you can cultivate talents from all walks of life.

Even after learning that the multi-functional exploration spacecraft also had good biogenetic technology, Li Anran also planned to use humans and corresponding biological species throughout the Tang Dynasty as research materials to see if he could cultivate better people.

species and species out.

Fuso, who was implicated by some of the outrageous atrocities committed by the Japanese in later generations, was the first step in this plan. To a certain extent, it was also a test area. Once the relevant ideas and research work could be carried out smoothly, then the subsequent

The link will then start.

If it weren't for the strength and resources that Li Anran possesses, most of which are occupied by the starting point colonial ship and the divine domain city-class starship, as well as the corresponding resource points, this plan would not have been implemented like this.

Slowly. (To be continued..)
