Chapter 240: Explanation Method
Early the next morning, Zhao Yin took Wei Chigong and Li Jing and began to explain how to purify to the soldiers of the army.
"Now it's time to pour water!"
Zhao Yin saw that the soldiers had almost smashed the mineral salt, so he ordered to pour water.
"Yes!"
After the soldiers were ordered, the prepared well water was poured into the mineral salt one by one, and stirred.
It didn't take long for the otherwise clean well water to start to become muddy.
And then there's the most important filtration!
Zhao Yin imitated the method of modern sewage filtration, filtering the originally turbid salt water to the bottom of the clear!
After removing the impurities, Zhao Yin ordered someone to find a large amount of charcoal and adsorb the toxic minerals in the concentrated brine into the charcoal.
Subsequently, there was the high-temperature boiling process, and most of the modern salt was boiled in this way, so Li Jing and others took Zhao Yin into the camp tent to rest.
It didn't take long for a soldier to report that the salt had been boiled!
"Nephew, this ...... This salt is even whiter than what we usually buy? ”
"After all this tossing, it's actually no longer bitter?"
Wei Chigong and Li Jing couldn't wait to taste the inland salt boiled by the new method, and their eyes suddenly widened in surprise!
This is really a miracle, as long as you have this method in hand, you will no longer be afraid of those salt merchants cutting off salt!
"Can you two write down all the methods just now?"
Zhao Yin only planned to demonstrate it to them once, and then the rest of the things would be handed over to them!
"Write it down, write it down, the virtuous nephew is really wise, you can think of such a method!"
"It turns out that the filtration method is so simple, Li is really ashamed of himself!"
The two nodded in admiration.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you here, there are still some things in Chang'an, I'll go back first!"
Zhao Yin planned to go back and buy some more salt mines, but he didn't care about it at all.
This filtration technology is so simple that sooner or later it will be discovered by the Seven Families.
At that time, salt mines will become the most sought-after thing, if you don't buy more now, when everyone learns, there will be no price!
"So what about here?"
Hearing that this place was going to be handed over to the two of them, Wei Chigong and Li Jing were immediately stunned.
If they want to lead troops to the battlefield, the two of them are not ambiguous, but they are not good at doing these small jobs!
"You two can rest assured, I have already taught you the method just now, you just need to supervise the soldiers to do it, as for the salt mine, you don't need to talk about it in detail, right?"
Zhao Yin saw that the two of them were still embarrassed, and said helplessly, "In this way, the work of supervising the purification will be handed over to the craftsman who will be the supervisor, and the two princes just need to block the news, how about it?" ”
When he came over this time, he also brought two craftsmen who would be the supervisor of salt making, and now they are helping with the work!
"That'...... That's fine! But once you encounter any problems, you have to go to the virtuous nephew! ”
After listening to Zhao Yin's words, the two nodded reluctantly.
Now Zhao Yin has not only become the pillar of Datang, but also the pillar in their hearts, as long as he is not there, they have no bottom in their hearts at all.
"You two can do it with confidence, you just need to block the news, and then transport the prepared salt into the city, and don't worry about anything else!"
Zhao Yin patted the two of them on the shoulder and gave them a little affirmative look.
In fact, as long as there are craftsmen who will be the supervisors, there will be basically no problems in technology, and Li Jing and Wei Chigong are both military generals, so it will be much more convenient to transfer troops in peacetime, so he can return to Chang'an with confidence.
Now he has a lot of business to take care of, and there are too few people available around him, so it's really helpless to get these two old guys here!
"Uh......! Virtuous nephew, Uncle Li and two sons, have been idle at home, I wonder if the colt can let them follow the colt to experience the experience, and usually run errands for the colt? ”
Li Jing wanted to speak again and again, but finally said it.
His daughter is now the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and he is really embarrassed to stuff his son over now, so he has been spitting and spitting.
After all, when I recruited reporters last time, so many royal relatives and nobles were not selected, let alone the two unsuccessful sons in the family?
But for the sake of his son's future, he could only speak hard.
"Good! How did Guogong know that I was worried about the affairs of human hands now? As long as it is reliable, how many can be introduced! ”
Just when Li Jing was embarrassed, Zhao Yin agreed to come down.
"Reliable, reliable, my two sons don't have anything else, just be honest and honest, don't dislike the horse!"
Li Jing was overjoyed and thanked him!
His daughter is just a small editor-in-chief of the Horse Newspaper, and her annual income is higher than that of herself, who is a prince of the country.
And I heard that the two sons of Lao Cheng's family got the news of joining the shares because they followed the horses, and thus made a lot of money.
And he got a good errand in the army, and his official position became bigger and bigger.
Therefore, even if he drank this old face, he still had to open his mouth and let the two sons of the family come to the horse.
"Okay, when I get back to the city, let them go to the Pony House to find me......!"
Zhao Yin pointed to the salt pan and said to Li Jing and the others, "I'll bring a few packs of samples back first, but the two of you have to speed up production, after all, salt is related to the livelihood of the people!" ”
......
"Steward Lu, are you mistaken? Our Dou family is on the same line as the Seven Great Families, how can we share such a little? ”
In the Lu family's inner house, the housekeepers of the seven major families gathered together, and there were dozens of big salt merchants in the city, discussing the distribution of salt.
As a veteran salt merchant in the city, Dou Xing was naturally on the list, but when he heard that he had only given himself 10,000 catties of salt, he immediately panicked!
"Now that the salt farm has been destroyed, the salt will be out of stock soon, if it weren't for the Seven Great Families taking out their own stockpiles and distributing them to everyone, you would have no salt to sell now!"
"That's right, our seven families don't have much inventory, if it weren't for the fact that you are old salt merchants, you wouldn't be able to get a pound of salt!"
"Now every pound of you, our seven families will lose a pound, this is already the end of benevolence and righteousness, besides, now the price of salt per pound has risen to a consistent level, and there is still no market, in a few days, maybe it will be able to increase tenfold, and by then, just this 10,000 catties can easily earn 100,000 yuan!"
"Your 10,000 catties are good, if you chose to stand with the imperial court, you can't even get a grain of salt now, be content!"
"Yes, the price of the goods now is only 300 wen a catty, and you can sell it for ten yuan with your hands, which is no different from picking it up for nothing!"
Dou Xing only complained a word, and the housekeepers of the Wang, Li, Zheng, and Lu clans opened their mouths to reply.
This made the major salt merchants who originally thought the same as the Dou family immediately shut up!
There is no way, who let the seven major families grasp the monopoly of salt!
The salt of the entire Datang is in the hands of others, and people say that it is as much as it is!
"My Dou family is willing to give 500 Wen per catty, I just hope that the patriarchs can give us more!"
Dou Xing thought for a while, and finally turned his heart sideways and said.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as there are enough supplies in hand, this time you will definitely be able to make a lot of money!
"I am also willing to pay the same price as the Dou family, just to share more goods!"
"I'll give you seven hundred texts!"
"Consistently!"
However, as soon as his words fell, the salt merchants spoke one after another.
Now that there is a shortage of salt, it is hard to say when it will return to normal, and now the price of salt is rising, as long as there is goods in hand, the final retail price is not arbitrary?
"I'm really sorry, this quota was unanimously decided by the seven patriarchs, I'm just a little housekeeper, I really can't be the master!"
Looking at the ever-increasing prices, the seven housekeepers looked at each other and were very tempted, but the share had already been set by the team leaders, and they didn't dare to change it without permission!
In fact, in order to avoid being accused of bullying the king, the Seven Great Families have destroyed all their salt farms, and these salts have been hoarded in advance.
In other words, as long as one more pound of these salts is distributed, the seven major families will have one pound less!
Therefore, they don't dare to be the master at all!
"That's it! Let's all go back! ”
After distributing the shares, Steward Lu waved his hand at everyone.
Now, the patriarch of the family knows that he has angered the emperor, so he moved his family to the suburbs, and this time he just took the risk of sending a housekeeper to discuss the matter!
