Early the next morning, Zhao Heng took two guards and a bunch of daily necessities to the courtyard where Yingzheng and Wang Jian were.

Although Ying Zheng and Wang Jian had been arrested in the Walled City for three days, in the first three days, Zhao Heng only took them to see some of the infrastructure in the Walled City, but forgot to send them some new daily necessities.

For example, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.

"Xiao Langjun, where did you get this fine salt from?"

Zhao Heng had just walked into the courtyard when he was stopped by Wang Jian with a shocked face.

I saw that in his hand, he was holding a large bowl of snow-white fine salt.

"Lao Wang, what are you doing with so much salt?"

Zhao Heng was slightly stunned, and then asked Wang Qian.

"This salt is as fine as sand and as white as snow, it can be called a divine thing!"

Wang Jian exclaimed.

"This salt is naturally from the salt factory in my walled city."

Zhao Heng said with a smile.

He also reacted that salt seemed to be indispensable in all eras.

After all, salt is the main substance that is essential for the human body.

If people don't eat salt, they will lose energy, and it will also damage the nerves, and even affect development, leading to various diseases.

If you can't replenish enough salt, then even the elite soldiers in the Great Qin army will not have the strength to fight.

Daqin naturally also has its own salt production methods, such as well salt, cliff salt, mineral salt, sea salt, pool salt and so on.

However, due to the shortcomings of the salt production process, the salt refined is not only costly, but also has large particles and a cyan or yellow color.

Moreover, most of the people of Daqin actually eat salt and brine.

It is worth mentioning that the salt and iron of Daqin seem to be privately owned, not government-owned.

It is somewhat similar to the contract system of later generations, to put it simply, Brother Zheng allowed some big businessmen to monopolize the operation of salt and iron.

Of course, there are also some government camps.

This can be proved by Qin Jian, which was excavated in later generations.

It is precisely because of this that although the Great Qin is heavy on agriculture and suppresses business, the status of a small number of big businessmen is not as low as later generations imagined, such as the famous Wu Shilu, Brother Zheng directly gave the treatment of the feudal monarch, and the widow Qing, Brother Zheng canonized her as a virgin woman, and announced it to the world.

It is said that the widow Qing provided a large amount of mercury to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

To get back to the point, in short, salt is definitely a strategic-level material in Daqin.

Moreover, the best salt is quite precious, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy it.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, although inflation was somewhat serious, and the price of grain skyrocketed from 30 yuan per stone to 500 yuan, the price of salt remained high.

It's just that, after all, salt is only a condiment, and the demand is far less than that of staple food, so under normal circumstances, ordinary people can also eat salt.

However, what is being said here is only inferior salt, not the fine white salt that Wang Jian is holding in his hand at the moment.

"Xiao Langjun, is this salt really made by you?"

At this time, Ying Zheng also walked over with a bowl of white salt, and looked at Zhao Heng with a strange expression.

"It's true!"

Zhao Heng nodded affirmatively.

Although he did not make the white salt himself, the salt factory in the Walled City belonged to him completely.

What's more, if it weren't for the salt making materials he took out of the warehouse, even if it was another thousand years, it would be impossible for Great Qin to have such fine white salt.

"How exactly is this salt made?"

Ying Zheng asked again.

"It's actually not difficult to say, there is a salt mine near the walled city, I just simply filtered and purified it, and it became these white salts in your bowl."

Zhao Heng said directly.

"What...... Is this salt mineral salt? No way! ”

As soon as Zhao Heng's words fell, Wang Jian couldn't help but exclaim.

This can't be blamed on him, if you are any Great Qin person, you can't help but make a fuss when you hear Zhao Heng's words.

After all, Daqin's salt is mainly well salt and pond salt, supplemented by sea salt, cliff salt, and mineral salt.

Especially mineral salt, not to mention the princes and nobles, even the people with better conditions will not choose to eat it.

Because mineral salt not only tastes astringent, but also may be poisoned if you eat too much.

Ying Zheng and Wang Qian, the kings and ministers, although they rarely eat mineral salt, have also seen it.

The mineral salts are very large and mostly dark red.

And the two bowls of salt in their hands are not only as white as snow, but also as fine as sand, how can they be mineral salt.

No way!

Even Ying Zheng at this moment showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Although he had seen too many new things in the three days he had been in the Walled City, he still couldn't believe that the bowl of white salt in his hand could actually be made of mineral salt.

He had already verified with his own mouth that the white salt in his hand was much better than the so-called fine salt he had eaten before.

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to the salt factory now."

Zhao Heng spread his hands and said.

"It's not necessary, we believe in Xiao Langjun."

Ying Zheng shook his head and said.

Yesterday's test was enough to prove that Zhao Heng would not easily deceive them.

"Don't worry, as long as you stay in the Walled City, you can eat as much white salt as you want, even if you use it to rinse your mouth every day."

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "However, I brought you toothpaste and toothbrush today, and you don't need to rinse your mouth with salt anymore." ”

As he spoke, he asked the two guards to send a large number of daily necessities into Yingzheng and Wang Qian's rooms.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see a real artifact."

After a pause, Zhao Heng said to Ying Zheng and Wang Jian a little mysteriously.

"A real fetish?"

When Ying Zheng and Wang Jian heard this, they couldn't help but look strange.

For them, yesterday's hybrid rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and today's white salt are enough to be called fetishes.

They were really curious about what it was that could make Zhao Heng call it a real divine object.

Immediately, under the leadership of Zhao Heng, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian walked out of the small courtyard and came to the lively street again.

"I don't believe it, and when you see it, you won't want to take refuge in me."

Zhao Heng thought secretly in his heart as he walked.

In order to completely break through the psychological defense of these two old men, he was busy almost all night last night, and finally succeeded in getting that thing out of schedule.

He was a little eager to see how the two old men would react when they saw it.

If he doesn't work, then he can only throw out the last killer move.

"Xiao Langjun, you are the one who governs the walled city according to Qin Law?"

Walking on the bustling street, Ying Zheng suddenly asked Zhao Heng.

"Naturally, it's according to Qin's law!"

Zhao Heng nodded affirmatively.

"Then what do you think of Qin Lu?"

Ying Zheng then asked.

"In my opinion, Qin Law is really a complete and strict law."

Zhao Heng groaned slightly and said directly.

In fact, at the beginning, he even thought about whether to apply the laws of later generations in the Walled City, or even use the new ideas of later generations to completely overthrow the entire system of this era.

But it soon became clear to him that it wasn't going to work.
