Datang Happy King

Chapter 22 The rain is coming
As far as the halite mine is in hand, it is in advance, but for Chu himself, he is exposed to the hands of the Wang family.

But this is something that can't be helped, if you don't do it.

When the rock salt mine was obtained, Chu Feng entered the palace again and told Li Shimin the news.

Li Shimin also knew what Chu Feng had done.

"Chu Feng, if this is the case, then you are on the cusp of this storm."

Li Shimin looked at Chu Feng and said worriedly, no matter what, this time Chu Feng also wanted to help him.

"It's okay, since the Wang family wants to deal with me, then naturally I can't just get caught."

Chu Feng glanced at Li Shimin and said, even you, Li Shimin, have a little conscience.

But I wasn't purely for him in the first place, and everything was just [-] yuan for each other.

I need to rely on Li Shimin's power, and Li Shimin needs to use myself to fight against the Wang family.

At very night, Li Shimin sent someone to transport the things that Chu Feng entrusted him to build to the rock salt mine with his soldiers.

The main purpose of night delivery is to cover up people's eyes and ears and let fewer people know about it.

After all, the things that Chu Feng sent people to build were not small things.

In the morning of the next day, Li Shimin announced that he would hand over the production and refining of official salt to Chu Feng.

"Chu Feng, I think you will do your best in Zuojie. This time, I will entrust you with the official salt. I hope you can also do your best."

"This matter is related to the safety of the people. If something goes wrong, it will be a serious crime."

Li Shimin looked at Chu Feng and said, "This is just a polite remark for all officials, and it is also Li Shimin's advice to Chu Feng.

Baiguan was also surprised to see this scene at this time.

They didn't expect that as soon as the news came out yesterday, Chu Feng would be in charge of the official salt this time.

Obviously this is what Li Shimin wants to do to the Wang family.

Those officials who did not flatter the Wang family were very happy with Li Shimin's attitude, but they were not optimistic about Chu Feng's appointment.

But what surprised them was the Wang family. No one from their faction dissuaded Li Shimin.

It seems that they are well prepared to deal with Chu Feng after he takes office.

When Chu Feng took office, he first went to the official salt store and told the store that the price of official salt would continue to drop.

However, the price is still reduced, and the quantity is also limited.

Can it be hollowed out in one go?

"Chu Feng, I want to see how capable you are."

Wang Si said in a cold voice after learning about Chu Feng's price cut.

"Wang Fen, you lead people to observe the movement in the halite mine at all times, and report to me immediately if they make any movement."

"If Chu Feng really extracts edible salt from the rock salt mine, then it will be his death."

"Yes, master."

Wang Fen took the order immediately. He naturally didn't believe that Chu Feng could succeed, but no matter what the result was, Chu Feng would die.

After Wang Fen left, Wang Si seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he wrote several letters and sent them out.

"The aristocratic family is not limited to the Wang family, and it affects the whole body. Your Majesty, you have wrestled with the Wang family today. I don't know what the other families will think?"

Wang Si said with a sneer.

On the rock salt mine, Chu Feng specially sent people from Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong to surround the rock salt mine and keep people away.

Of course, ordinary people would not come close, just to let those aristocratic families know not so clearly.

"Chu Feng, why are we mining here? Are these tools not here?"

Cheng Chumo looked at this place, it was a place that the Wang family had mined before, so he was very puzzled.

"It's okay for these guards to just block ordinary people, and it can also make the Wang family a bit scruples, but it's impossible for the Wang family not to know what's going on here."

Chu Feng looked at Cheng Chumo and said.

"So, the mining here is just a conventional mining, just to temporarily numb the sight of the Wang family."

Chu Feng knew that the fat man was bluffing, but I believe he still knew the severity of such things.

In this way, the mining of the halite mine officially started, and Chu Feng acted like he was rushing to work, mining and refining the halite day and night.

For three days, Chu Feng hardly left here, and the mining here has not changed.

In the evening, when Cheng Chumo was bored, Qin Huaiyu came.

"Huaiyu, why are you here?" Cheng Chumo said immediately after seeing Qin Huaiyu.

"I asked him to come. Of course we can't stay here forever. We've been watching the Wang family for three days, and that's enough."

Chu Feng answered first.

"Chu Feng has done everything according to what you said." Qin Huaiyu also nodded.

"What kind of charades are you playing?" Cheng Chu said in a puzzled manner.

"Come on, don't you want to know, come with me."

Chu Feng glanced at Cheng Chumo and said with a smile, now is the beginning.

Chu Feng and Cheng Chumo left here at ten o'clock at night.

He and Cheng Chumo came to the other side of the rock salt mine mountain range.

At this time, Cheng Chumo saw a tighter defense, and there were many iron tools, all of which were big guys.

The first thing to enter is the big iron mill, then the big iron pot, the big iron bucket, and the iron pipes. These iron pipes are not ordinary iron pipes, and they are separated by fine mesh.

After setting up the iron mill and finishing all the pots and iron barrels, Chu Feng began to teach everyone how to make salt.

These people are all Li Shimin's people, so loyalty does not need to be considered.

If I don't rely on this to make money, otherwise I will become the next Wang family, and Li Shimin will definitely not let me go.

Although they haven't practiced salt these days, they haven't been idle. Countless halite mines have been smashed into small stones.

Chu Feng asked them to put small stones on the millstone.

"Chu Feng, are you going to crush this stone with a millstone?"

Although Cheng Chumo is a little ignorant, he still understands the role of stone mills.

"Not only crushed, but also crushed into powder." Chu Feng nodded.

Anyway, it is to be taught to them, of course there is no need to hide it.

It is not a simple matter for the millstone to crush the rock salt mine, and the harsh sound is very unbearable.

Fortunately, they are all professionals and can bear it.

The halite was crushed into a powder, which was then placed in large iron drums.

"Get water to soak."

"Soak? After soaking it, wouldn't the powder be gone?" Cheng Chumo was stunned again.

Chu Feng glanced at Cheng Chumo, "What's the rush, listen to me."

"This halite has a lot of impurities. Soak its powder in water for preliminary filtration. You must know that salt can be dissolved in water."

"That means we only need to wait for the salt to melt and the water to dry up to get the salt?"

"It's that simple? But if this is the case, how could the Wang family not know?"

Cheng Chumo said excitedly at first, and then became puzzled.

"It seems that you are not stupid, this is the first step, you just look after it later." Chu Feng said with a smile.

If it was that simple, the Wang family would have succeeded long ago.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Chu Feng turned on the switch of the iron bucket, and the water began to flow from the iron pipe of the iron bucket to the iron bucket below.

After filtering again, the original turbid powder impurities are gone.

However, it can be seen that the brine has a distinct brown color.

This is rock salt poisoning.

If you can't get rid of the rock salt poison, everything is in vain.

Chu Feng then asked someone to bring up the prepared charcoal.

The charcoal is wrapped in cloth and is also to be hammered.

As soon as the charcoal was put into the salt water, there was a sizzling sound.

Cheng Chumo and the others thought it was amazing, but Chu Feng knew that it was the reaction between charcoal and rock salt poison.

Charcoal has the function of adsorption, purification and filtration.

Chu Feng made people stir vigorously, and it was also the effort of a stick of incense. The brown water was no longer brown.

Not only that, but the bitter taste at the beginning is gone.

Cheng Chumo was very excited when he found out.

All that's left is to boil the salt over a fire and wait for it to crystallize.

These steps are not difficult, anyone who can make salt can do it, so Chu Feng didn't say much.

Two hours later, everyone was boiling, and they looked at the crystallized salt in disbelief.

Too white.

They had never seen such salt, not even the Wang family.

"Chu Feng, we succeeded, we succeeded." Cheng Chumo was very excited and looked at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng naturally laughed too.

But I knew in my heart that the next step would be the craziest revenge of the Wang family.

I just want to be happy in Datang, why are you forcing me?
Wang Si, don't blame me for being cruel. With enemies like you, I can hardly sleep or eat.

The corners of Chu Feng's mouth rose with confidence.
