Chapter 336 The Salt Is Out

"Out, out the salt!"

Mao Azai, a salt worker from Yantian Village in Danzhou, shouted in surprise, "Salt has been produced! Salt has been produced! Jiang Xianggong, Jiang Xianggong (called Xiucai Xianggong in Ming Dynasty), come quickly, come quickly! Salt has really been produced!" It's the best salt!"

As he spoke, he rushed forward, dipped his hands, and put it in his mouth. A fresh and salty smell spread on his tongue, and his eyes turned red instantly.

This is the finest refined salt!
Once upon a time, they thought about it day and night, thinking that one day they would be able to come up with a way to mass produce refined salt.If enough salt is produced and the government's quota is paid in full, then I can live a little easier.

And now...

He only saw a few people sent by the government to command a group of laborers, mix a bunch of materials he didn't know, choose places to build a few pools, and after making a set of water-lifting tools with feet, after a while Time, the saltworks started.

And the process also made him feel unbelievable.

Because it looks so easy!

Lift the seawater to the high-halogen platform, put the seawater in the high-halogen platform into the second-halogen platform the next day, then fill the high-halogen platform with the sea, wait for the third day, put the seawater in the second-halogen platform into the third-halogen platform, and put the seawater in the high-halogen platform into the third-halogen platform The seawater in the halogen platform is put into the second halogen platform, and then the high halogen platform is filled with seawater...

After repeating this, use lotus seeds for side brine. When the brine reaches 10%, clean up the mud in the bottom tank, smooth it and compact it, and put saturated brine in. The floating flowers will crystallize in the same day, and the salt will come out after a few days!
This process looks like a fairy tale!Obviously everyone uses seawater to dry salt, but why does the adult produce so much salt this way?

Just when Mao Azi was excited and confused, Jiang Yiming rushed over.

Looking at the white salt, he couldn't help waving his fists, and said excitedly: "Okay! Okay! Quick, scoop up the salt and make salt lumps, and send it to your lord!"

"Ai, ai!"

Mao Azai nodded repeatedly, and greeted a group of salt workers who were equally excited, crying and laughing, to get busy.

"Have all the remaining liquid been collected?"

Jiang Yiming wiped his sweat and said: "These liquids are called mother liquors, and many useful things can be extracted from them, which are useful to adults. Every time coarse salt is produced, the remaining mother liquors must be collected and sent to adults at that time."

"Jiang Xianggong, don't worry! It's all put away."

Mao Azai smiled and said: "My lord feeds us so well, and also teaches us to read, write, and speak official language. You don't have to worry about other things, but whoever cares about her old man's affairs is really heartless! "

Jiang Yiming laughed loudly, "Brother Azi, you are speaking Mandarin Chinese more and more fluently now! Okay, study hard! You have to keep going to the literacy class I set up in the salt field at night! People who have studied are not good. the same!

Look at these salts, how can grown-ups get more salt by drying them?And you have exposed it to several generations, and you haven't figured out this way?Adults read a lot of books, so they came up with this method!Okay, okay, I won't say more!Salt is out today, but it's a happy event!I have to report the good news to magistrate Cheng!Let him give you extra meals at night!Two big pieces of meat for one person!Ha ha! "

The Mao Azai salt workers also burst out laughing, and thanked Jiang Yiming one after another.

A salt worker handed over two lumps of salt that had just been made to Jiang Yiming, and Jiang Yiming moved neatly. After wrapping the lumps of salt and putting them in the basket in front of his bicycle, he rode to the county seat.

Cheng Hui was also happy when he heard the salt!

"This, this is the salt that has been sun-dried? My God, why is it so white? This is the best refined salt! If the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi agrees to our request, our Qiongzhou will be destroyed!"

The county magistrate Cheng has completely lost the appearance of a county magistrate now.At this moment, he is no different from those salt workers, looking like a nouveau riche.

He stretched out a finger, dipped it in salt, stuffed it into his mouth, closed his eyes, and looked intoxicated.

"Fresh, salty, really good salt, really good salt!"

Jiang Yiming felt a chill.

Cheng Huiming was so salty that his face turned blue, but this guy was still calling Yan, it was scary to look like this, like a madman.

"Tsk tsk, even green salt can't compare! If this kind of salt is sold to Guangdong and Guangxi, who will be our opponent in the market? Yiming, you are right! If you want to be rich, you have to learn about things... "

His head began to shake back and forth, "I have read the books on Gewuxue that you brought Yiming these days, and I have really benefited a lot! Your water dispenser is made differently from others! Tsk tsk, Now I finally understand why my lord dares to spend such money in Qiongzhou! Don’t say anything else, let’s build more salt ponds, selling this salt will kill us!”

As he spoke, his voice gradually became quieter, without shaking his head.Looking around, he said in a low voice, "Yiming, this means that people need to eat salt. We Ming people need to eat salt, and those red-haired ghosts also need to eat salt. And those small countries in Southeast Asia... Tsk tsk, our business Doing it in the Ming Dynasty will always offend people, in my opinion, it would be easier for us to sell it outside."

Jiang Yiming was a little surprised, "My lord, this business matter, you..."

"Ugh!"

Cheng Hui sighed, "Yiming, I don't care about such things in the past. But since I was demoted to Qiongzhou, I understand. This money is not everything, but without it, it is difficult to move an inch!

Just talk about our county!There are not even a few fixed shops, and most of the villagers hold a market every ten days and a half months to exchange things with each other. These days are really hard.After I came here, I also wanted to do something for the people, but the people have no money, so where can the government get the money?
I can't do anything I want to do, and my official salary is often in arrears. I am a county magistrate, and I dare not even make a sedan chair. Why?Poor! "

Speaking of sad things, Cheng Hui's eyes were red, "It costs money to hire bearers! All these years I have lived on my previous savings. If my lord hadn't repelled the Tartars, the court would have money to pay for it." Salary, this official will not be able to live on!

So look, in this world without money, no matter how powerful you are, you still have to lie down!Isn't His Majesty short of money to open the sea?I read the book you brought with you two days ago, just the "On the Wealth of the Country", ah, I can't imagine that there are such sages among the red-haired ghosts on the other side of the ocean. This book is really well written!

It really is like enlightenment!All my doubts have been explained!It's just that the translator's level is not good, and some places are obviously very blunt, as if they can't translate, so they simply skipped. "

Jiang Yiming said in surprise: "Have you read that book?!"

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I also think there are some problems with this book. It seems that something is artificially hidden. Some places seem to be inconsistent when reading. But the concept is summarized very well, and it can be regarded as an opening for us. The door of the economic road has been opened."

Cheng Hui nodded, "We will also communicate with these red-haired ghosts in the future. I heard that the red-haired monk next to your lord is the most knowledgeable person there?"

　Get here first, today!I still have to write a film review, due tomorrow!
