Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 26 What If It Comes Out?
Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Si found that many unexpected things could come in handy in this era.

Even the modern calculation methods of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and even equation expressions...

Some things that are taken for granted in modern times seem to be able to burst out unexpected sparks in this era.

Wang Li didn't mean to belittle Zhao Si's words, and when he heard the words "Li Zai Qianqiu" he typed up and said, "Is that true?"

"That's true!" Zhao Si nodded.

"I'm going to send someone, what kind of craftsman do I need?" Wang Li asked.

"Carpenter... by the way, isn't salt very expensive?" Zhao Si asked again.

"It's okay, it's not too expensive." Wang Likou replied.

"How much is the salt shaped like a tiger squatting on the shore?" Zhao Si knew that Wang Li was a big dog, so he asked again on purpose.

"One piece is about a few hundred dollars, depending on the size." Wang Li replied after thinking for a while.

"It's not expensive?" Zhao Si rolled his eyes.

The purchasing power of the Qin Dynasty currency is not bad, a few hundred dollars can buy a piece of salt less than the size of a fist.

"Then what is the price of the salt that the common people eat?" Zhao Si continued to ask.

"Not sure..." Wang Li scratched his head.

What he eats at home is salt, the highest grade salt in this era.

That is, the salt is naturally agglomerated or artificially formed into lumps of animal-shaped salt.

Shaped salt is standard for high-end households in this era.

Zhao Si thought secretly in his heart, he really had some ideas about the ancient salt making.

For salt, either use the saturated crystallization method, or use charcoal and plant ash adsorption filtration.

Salt is everywhere. In fact, the ancients knew for a long time that seawater contained salt.

It's just that there are too many crystalline impurities naturally precipitated, and there is really no filtering method. If it's just dust impurities, it's okay, too much heavy metal content is really fatal.

"Where does much salt come from today?" Zhao Si continued to ask.

"It is mostly produced in Qidi. I heard that the sea is boiled there to make salt. As for the rest of the land, it is more heterogeneous. It is either plate salt, well salt, or salt mine.

Among them, the well salt is the most famous, the sea salt boiled in the same place is second, and the plate salt is the third, and the rest are salt mines, the quality of which is good or bad. "

"Do you have a way to make salt?" Wang Li asked, with Qu Yuanli first, and Zhao Si taking the initiative to ask for a craftsman, Wang Li had probably expected it.

"En!" Zhao Si nodded.

"If there are no accidents, it shouldn't be a big problem to let the price of salt come down."

Whether it is the saturated crystallization method or the plant ash, charcoal and earth filtration method, many salts that were originally inedible in this era can be made edible.

Salt is not a rare thing. Boiled sea salt can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn period and even further. Salt production is too small, and salt mine production is large, but heavy metals are abundant, and there is a lack of filtration and purification methods.It is easy to eat dead people.

Even if the ancients filtered, they just used some dense sieves to filter out some water-insoluble impurities, but none of the water-soluble impurities were filtered out.

"How much can you come down?" Wang Li also gasped.

Zhao Si really doesn't know... After all, he doesn't know enough about the prices of this era, and the same is true for Wang Li.

Seeing that Zhao Si didn't speak, Wang Li stopped, and went to help Zhao Si find the craftsman first.

Zhao Si was not idle either, taking advantage of this time to draw some messy things on the ground.

The vernier caliper is a good thing, copy it!

The plane is also copied!

Zhao Si immediately thought of some small tools. In this era, saws are regarded as high-end tools for carpentry, and there is no such thing as a plane.

It took a long time to draw, a bunch of scattered things, small tools, big ones, and a loom, the kind in the book, but Zhao Si didn't know the principle, and he meditated for a long time because he was too tired. After a long time, it is somewhat blurred, so some places are not clear enough to draw.

There is also a reclining chair, um... It is Zhao Si's own private use. When the craftsmen come out and use it for themselves, it is very comfortable to lie on and rock. There is not even a stool in this era, so just make a rocking chair and enjoy it in one step. .

It is also possible to enjoy it in private without etiquette.

In a short while, Wang Li led the craftsmen, and Zhao Si directed the craftsmen to make objects according to the drawings.

"How small should these things be?" the craftsmen asked.

Zhao Si thought for a while, and simply asked Wang Li for some animal skins, picked up a brush to draw on the animal skins, and attached the dimensions and structure thoughtfully.

Because I am not used to painting with a brush, I even scrapped one of the paintings. After getting used to it, I finally made no mistakes and handed it over to the craftsman.

But I didn't want the craftsman to start to be shocked before he even started working.

"Such a composition is really wonderful!"

Zhao Si's composition is a three-dimensional composition, and the specific size is directly marked on the map with line segments, which looks very intuitive and clear.

Everything is clearly marked.

There is also a way to separate expressions with dashed and solid lines.

For example, one centimeter on the dotted line represents one centimeter, and one centimeter on the actual line represents one meter.

Of course, the Qin Dynasty didn't talk about centimeters or anything...

This is actually not a small progress for this era.

Craftsmen are not fools, they can understand this composition method at a glance, and they only need to follow this composition method when making other things in the future, and they can easily master a composition method by practicing on their own.

On weekdays, work depends entirely on precepts and deeds, and how long and how big should be estimated by oneself.

Zhao Si is not the first to have such a design and composition, but Zhao Si is the first who can show this group of craftsmen without hesitation.

If this thing is placed in the world of Xianxia, ​​it is not a martial arts cheat book. Basically, you can understand the principle at a glance, and after a little study, you will know how to compose things in the future.

In the future, just follow the map to find out.

Therefore, the craftsmen were only puzzled by the various things drawn on Zhao Si's map, but they were very grateful to Zhao Si.

"Sure, let's get it out...I'll take a look after I get it out. By the way, get out these little things first." Zhao Si said.

He's talking about vernier calipers, levels, files, chisels and stuff like that.

It is more convenient to get these small tools out first and then turn to bigger things.

As for what to do with these craftsmen?That's not Zhao Si's business, he is only responsible for providing a blueprint, and for some things Zhao Si even intends to provide an idea.

Because no matter how specific Zhao Si will not be.

Anyway, it doesn't cost a lot of money to keep these craftsmen busy, what if they get it out?
As long as it doesn't involve setting up a factory, how much money can you spend with Wang Li, a big dog?

Besides, Zhao Si is still growing grain according to the order.

It's normal to have a little request, there is no trouble, and it doesn't cost money, who has nothing to hinder Zhao Si?

Wang Ben didn't dare to do this, and even specifically told Wang Li to meet all his needs.

Wasn't it because Zhao Si couldn't grow enough food to sit on the ground and be blackmailed?

Zhao Si is very self-conscious, if there is a shortcut, it is mentally handicapped.

If you can’t figure it out, use the clever minds of the craftsmen of this era to make things difficult for them.You can't bother the traveler with everything, this half-knowledge, that half-knowledge, Zhao Si has half-knowledge about most things, you can't treat half-knowledge as completely ignorant, you have to trust the smart minds of people in this era.

"Help me find some inedible salt!" Zhao Si looked at Wang Li and said.

Zhao Si plans to make salt by himself.

Salt and iron heavy weapon Salt and iron heavy weapon, even if you move your ass, you know that this thing has a lot of credit for making it.
