"Then you should organize the logistics of the space battleship to fight Star Wars. I'll tell the kitchen to make Malatang tonight. Sichuan is more humid, like the sea. Eating more spicy food will help with blood circulation."
Wang Juan didn't plan to talk nonsense with Zhang Xiaobao. With a flash, she disappeared from the door.
Zhang Xiaobao sat there in a daze. Suddenly, he got up and chased after her. As he chased, he shouted, "Wait for me, I'll go too. I have to tell the kitchen to prepare rice noodles. Just seafood Malatang won't be able to fill my stomach."
When he caught up with Wang Juan at the staircase, Zhang Xiaobao added, "Today's soup should be bland and less salt. We're not some Indian, Arabian, or Polyglot. They shouldn't eat too much salt, they'll be thirsty."
"The problem is that they don't have salt. The drying method of sea salt hasn't been passed to them yet. You don't let their people get close. Say, they're stupid. Why don't they think of ways to learn from Japan and Xinluo? Didn't we have an alliance in the past? That time with Japan. "
Wang Juan felt that it was sad for a nation to be controlled by salt.
"In the past, we worked with many countries in the world. Have we learned all the techniques? How slow is it to directly dry seawater? How many of them know that they need to put in brine later? Let the people by the sea continue to boil salt and put a rope or something in a container. It's good to crystallize.
Speaking of which, our people are the ones who are blessed. How much did salt cost when we came? How much does salt cost now? In daily life, other than water, the cheapest thing is salt. One copper coin is enough for a person to eat for half a month. This is because the transportation cost is high. "
Zhang Xiaobao recalled and felt satisfied. He continued to work hard to improve the living conditions of others.
Then, he sighed, "Salt is the root of so many racial wars."
When Wang Juan arrived at the entrance of the kitchen, she stopped and admitted, "Indeed, there are many wars caused by salt. Wars between races, wars between religions, wars between countries, and wars between people. Food and salt are the most basic needs for survival.
You can make the arrangements. At worst, we can increase the war investment and try to see if controlling a country's salt can stop its gradual rise. "
"Don't always think about investing. There are returns. They are all places with slavery and caste systems, right? If we control the salt mines there, we will directly control the two river basins of India, the Sindhi River and the Brahmaputra River, not the Ganges River. "
"According to what you said, the Ganges can also be controlled because the Brahmaputra River is further away from the Sindu River. It is now called the Naga River. The Two Rivers Basin refers to the place between the two rivers. Doesn't that mean you want to control the whole of India?
What I mean is that you should try not to use force to conquer India, because the Maneaters still need us to fight a long war with them. You can give the Indians more preferential treatment in trade. "
Wang Juan was afraid that Zhang Xiaobao would calculate and eventually force the Indians to launch an all-out war. That would be very busy.
Zhang Xiaobao lowered his head as if he was thinking seriously and then looked up, "Preferential treatment, it must be preferential. In the past, if it was half a kilogram of salt in exchange for a slave, I will increase the price by five times. Two kilograms and a half of salt in exchange for a slave, male or female, but not a child. I will not let them raise a child. Their own country has not yet understood how to raise a child.
There are also ceramics, silk, glass mirrors, and tea leaves. If it really doesn't work, I will specially mix various kinds of curry powder for them. I would rather let the Tang people eat less chili and provide them first. "
Wang Juan shook her head and stopped talking to Zhang Xiaobao. She opened the door and went into the kitchen. As soon as she said not to force the Indians to launch a war against the Tang Empire, Zhang Xiaobao used other means to tempt the Indians to fight their own people. Slaves were not planted. There needed to be war to plunder, and they needed to be oppressed by caste to obtain slaves.
The kitchen of the Blue Sea Silver Sand Restaurant was very clean. The bluestone floor had to be cleaned every day and all the dirt had to be sprayed with disinfectant. If someone wanted to eat at night, another kitchen would be used.
The chopping boards for raw meat, cooked food, and vegetables were separated. Except for the chopping board that needed to be chopped raw bones, the rest were all made of bamboo. After using them, they were brushed with an iron brush. After a few days, they were thrown away. Anyway, bamboo grew quickly.
When Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao came in, they heard the sound of cooking and cutting. Because there was no range hood, the air was full of the smell of various dishes.
Zhang Xiaobao sniffed, "There is the smell of chopped green onions."
"How many dishes don't have chopped green onions? I can still smell the oil. "Wang Juan also sniffed and looked for the person in charge in the smoke, who was the head chef.
It was a little early for the kitchen to cook now, but the people in the inner courtyard didn't eat in a big pot as long as they could afford it. They would only cook in a big pot when they had no other choice. At that time, even Xiaobei and the others would have to eat with them.
Now that they could afford it, the restaurant cooked in advance and put them in insulated food boxes. When the time came, they would take them out for the inner courtyard to eat. Therefore, they were very busy.
The head chef had good eyesight and soon found that there were two more people in the kitchen. He came over and asked, "Young Master, are you two going to …"
"We are going to eat Malatang tonight. Make some preparations. There are also rice noodles. We will eat them during the performance. Find someone to prepare enough cooked food for the performance venue. We can use a big pot."
Zhang Xiaobao ordered.
The head chef nodded and suddenly thought of something. He said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Young Master, there have been a lot of cows and sheep recently, especially females."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't say anything. He looked at the head chef and waited for him to explain.
"Most of them are people from the west. They drive the cows and sheep and drink milk along the way. When they reach Yizhou Prefecture, they sell the animals and find other jobs," the head chef said.
"Oh, I see." After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao didn't give any instructions. He turned around and left with Wang Juan.
"The shadow of war hangs over the sky. I hope they will come more often," Zhang Xiaobao said as he came to the door.
Wang Juan nodded. "They are from Tubo, which is on the border with India. They don't want to be directly involved in the war. When they found out about the cannibals and Indians, they had no choice but to come here with their family property. The males were probably killed and eaten along the way. This is an abnormal loss in war."
"It's just a small loss. It's okay. Give the order. Let the merchants in Jiannan Road buy livestock at a normal price. They will find a place to build a farm. There is a lot of alfalfa, so it's not worth much. We can make up for the loss in two or three years. Moreover, the livestock we will buy along the way will be in good shape.
Their genes will be very good. "Zhang Xiaobao was optimistic. It wasn't a big problem to exchange livestock from the Indians and Indians.
"Let's go and see Xiaobei and the others." Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao to the courtyard of her younger brother and sister.

"Five o 'clock. Let's go and go until we reach Hongnong County. I will invest 5,000 strings of cash to build a local market. You have to buy when you come in."
After Xiao Bei threw the dice, he picked up his little figure and walked five steps forward to an open space. He took out the fake money that represented five thousand strings of coins from his box and handed it to the game referee. He said happily.
The map they used was a very vague and abstract map of Henan Province. It was much more profound than the Monopoly games played by ordinary children, but it was also much simpler than the games played by adults. Of course, it couldn't be compared to the top ranking assessment. That kind of assessment not only depended on how much assets you had, but also your assessment results.
If your assessment results were good, the bank would give you a loan to help you do business in the real world. It was the same as when you came up with a plan and looked for venture capital.
After Xiaobei finished speaking, the referee picked out a small model of the market from the box and placed it next to Xiaobei's little figure.
The map was very big. It was 11 meters long and 6.5 meters wide. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to cover the entire Henan Province. If the game didn't end today, they would remember the location and roll up the map. They would put it back the next time they played.
"Eh? That's not right, right? I took out 5,000 strings of cash. Why did you give me a small market? Hongnong County is a big county, not a small county. It's the one that had a flood. "
Xiaobei looked at the model and realized that it was a small market. She turned to look at the referee.
The referee smiled and explained, "It's a small market. The price of the materials used to build the market has increased. It's mainly reflected in the cost of labor. Hongnong County used to be an important county where the army was stationed. It is now a Shang County and has a lot of farmland. Due to its good location, there are many cattle."
"That's right. With many cattle, it means that the cost of labor has decreased. Why is it still expensive?" Xiaobei argued. If she had known, she wouldn't have spent the money on the market.
"Because the land is grouped into a group of 100 households and villages. After the merger, there are cattle for large-scale farming. The team leader fired many of the original farmers. A portion of the fired farmers left the area to seek more income. Some of them wanted to do small businesses. Some of them had good skills and were given a very high grade during the assessment. Hence, their income was high. The final portion went to participate in training. Hence, there was less cheap labor available in the area."
The referee patiently analyzed the situation.
Xiaobei blinked and looked at the other eight people. Everyone looked at each other and communicated with their gazes.
After a while, Xiaoyuan reacted and said, "So the effects of the twelve national policies on society are so direct? Then what will happen if the population of Hongnong County decreases? Will it be demoted to Zhongxian County? "
"No. Because Hongnong County is an important county in Henan Province, it has developed water transportation. Furthermore, the county will increase the number of merchants seeking opportunities. Hence, there are more immigrants than locals leaving. However, the newcomers are usually people who don't have any skills in their original areas. They won't go to the market. Instead, they are willing to accept low wages and squeeze into the service industry, as well as the port transportation industry. "
The referee explained to Xiaoyuan again.
Xiaoyuan lowered her head and thought hard. Xiaonan interrupted and asked, "Will the previous port workers of Hongnong be affected? What will happen to them? "
"That depends on how many new products Hongnong has produced. What's the concentration of production efficiency and demand for goods? If the merchants prefer luxury goods, it will cause a large influx of luxury goods from outside in a short period of time. If the local workshops and agricultural groups further increase their efficiency, it will speed up the export of local goods.
Because the original port workers of Hongnong have rich experience, the new laborers working at the port will not be as efficient and safe as the local workers. Hence, the wages will be divided into different levels. At the same time, the local workers will be promoted to become the foremen of the new workers. "
The referee continued to explain patiently. These nine little guys were the hope of the future. They had to be taught well.
"It's a loss." Xiaobei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the explanation. Hence, she agreed to spend 5,000 strings of coins to buy a small market. The main reason was that her market was beside the county, far away from the workshop. Furthermore, there were many shops in the city.
"Actually, I should have built a chess room," Xiaobei added regretfully.
"What you should have built is a gambling site. The investment is small, but there are many people entering and leaving the city." Zhang Xiaobao's voice sounded at the door.
