Of course, with the experience of buying salt today, Wu Liang naturally did not plan to find a blacksmith to build this Luoyang shovel and sapper shovel.

In the Han Dynasty, "salt and iron" were not separated, and the relevant laws and regulations appeared at the same time.

In this era, iron is undoubtedly a more important strategic material than salt in the eyes of the scholar class, and I am afraid that the hands of the relevant parties will only grow longer.

Therefore, Wu Liang planned to entrust this matter to Cao Yu.

With his identity, it is much easier to think about, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed, and the consumption of public funds is simply more than one stone.

It was half an hour after I finished drawing the sketches of the Luoyang shovel and the sapper shovel.

When Wu Liang turned around and looked again, his house, which had been abandoned for some days, finally had such a look.

The half-human-high weeds in the yard have been basically cleared, revealing the bluestone ground below, the stone tables and chairs that have fallen to the ground have been placed in corresponding positions, and the old trees with too long arms have also been cut off from the side branches, which looks much neater.

And his "beauties" are also good at work, and the bright and secret places in the house have been carefully cleaned and scrubbed by them, giving off the original lacquer and wood color.

At this moment, Yin, who went to help Wu Liang purchase supplies, finally returned.

He walked in front alone, followed by several wagons, all of which were merchants who had come to deliver goods.

Not to mention, this guy is a family person, he is indeed a good hand at living, and the materials he purchased for Wu Liang in this circle are extremely complete, from water tanks, buckets and bedding, to pots and pans and cups, in short, no matter what Wu Liang mentioned, he bought them all.

"Hehe, talented brother, this home life is no better than others, you can't do anything without anything, you are just about to start, there are many people living there, and there are more guys to buy in the future."

Seeing Wu Liang, Yin Jian smiled with a look of a passerby, and there was a little bit of invitation.

"You're still the most promising, so let's get someone to bring things in first."

Wu Liang smiled and praised, and after the servants of those merchants carried in one by one, they quickly turned their attention to the salt and iron basin filled with coarse salt.

The servants of the salt shop stood by the basin, twisting and refusing to leave.

"What are you doing here?"

Yin Jian glared at him and said angrily.

Previously, he had lost some face in Yanxing, especially Wu Liang's face, and this guy was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

"Pot, I have to bring this pot back......"

The servant of the salt shop whispered.

"Can a person who lives in such a house still be able to take care of your house? I'll send someone to send it to you! ”

Yin Jian said again.

"This ...... Be. ”

The maid thought about it, so he had no choice but to leave the house.

Yin Jian turned around and saw that Wu Liang was still looking at a pot of coarse salt, thinking that he was still angry about what happened before, so he opened his mouth again and persuaded, "Talented brother, the appearance of this salt is not very good, but you can eat it as it is, I have been eating it for more than 20 years, and I also eat it...... Nothing happened to the food. ”

Yin Jian originally wanted to say "eat the undead", but this was both unlucky and unpleasant, so he changed his words when he came.

It's to eat the undead.

Wu Liang acknowledged Yin Jian's statement that although the Han Dynasty had not yet developed the Tang Dynasty's "five-step salt method" and had not mastered the storage technology, the salt had also been boiled and was not a primitive salt mine.

Otherwise, the common people of the Han Dynasty would have been killed a long time ago, and what would the princes of the heroes do to fight?

But it's just that you can't eat the dead all at once......

There are too many indescribable things in these coarse salts, and some bad things are not eaten much, although they will not be fatal in a short time, but they accumulate too much in the body, and they can instantly kill people when they begin to attack.

Wu Liang's good life has just begun, and he naturally hopes that he will live as long as possible.

Therefore, we still have to pay attention to the places that should be emphasized.

"Captain Warden, come over for a moment."

Thinking like this, Wu Liang stood up and beckoned to Dian Wei, who was busy with his work.

"What's the matter?"

Dian Wei hurriedly walked over and asked.

When Yin Jian came back just now, Dian Wei noticed the truckload of raw meat and live chickens and ducks that were sent in at the end, plus after seeing the scale of this mansion, while speculating about Wu Liang's identity in his heart, he was already convinced that Wu Liang did not lie to him, and he could really feast on it tonight.

Because of this, Dian Wei naturally didn't dare to underestimate Wu Liang anymore, and his words and deeds were a little more restrained.

Wu Liang smiled at Dian Wei and asked, "Can you crush these pieces of salt?" ”

"How broken?"

Dian Wei asked.

"Break as much as you can, and it's best to break it like powder."

Wu Liangdao.

There is no grinding in the yard, so I can only treat Dian Wei as a grinding, just take this opportunity to understand the strange power of Dian Wei more intuitively.

"Then can you advance one bowl of wine first, no, three bowls of wine, and drink wine to make up your strength."

Dian Wei turned his head to look at the two large unopened wine jars that had been sent together, his throat swelled, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.

"Please."

Wu Liang nodded.

Dian Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, his strong body instantly became much lighter, he came to the front of the wine jar in two or three steps, gently patted the mud seal, picked up a new bowl next to him and rubbed it on his clothes twice, and then leaned into the altar and scooped up the wine.

"Knock ......"

The three bowls of wine blinked, although Dian Wei was still unsatisfied, he also abided by his duty, and reluctantly put down the wine bowl and came back, picking up a fist-sized piece of salt from the salt iron basin.

Just listen to a "bang", not a "click".

The lump of salt turned into powder in an instant, and the variegated powder of fine sand flowed out from between Dian Wei's fingers.

"Cow!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud loudly.

is worthy of being a famous general in my fancy, Dian Wei and I will be under my command, and it is not easy for anyone to come!

"Whew......"

Chen Jinshui and the others also widened their eyes instantly, and their mouths opened into a big "O" shape, as if they had just swallowed a goose egg and couldn't close it for a long time.

……

Then things got a lot easier.

Wu Liang instructed Dian Wei to crush all the coarse salt in the basin, and he took a pair of scissors to the warehouse, cut several pieces of linen and took them out, stacked them into four layers and covered them on a large vat.

Then sit on the side and wait patiently for Dian Wei to crush salt.

"This ...... Talented brother, what are you going to do here? ”

Chen Jinshui and the others were a little confused, and asked strangely.

"Boil salt."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Boiling salt?"

Chen Jinshui and the others looked at each other.

Isn't this iron basin filled with salt?

These guys are ordinary people, and they haven't even seen the process of making coarse salt, so they naturally don't understand what Wu Liang means by this.

And it's not just them, even if they are engaged in the salt industry, they are still using the relatively backward four-step salt boiling method, and the so-called refined salt only filters out some obvious impurities in it, and cannot really play a role in "purification".

It was not until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty that a five-step salt production method with a "purification" effect appeared.

Therefore, even the so-called "refined salt" eaten by the scholars is actually just coarse salt that looks slightly cleaner on the surface, and there is not much difference in essence.
