Chapter 596: The Law of Making Salt

Boss Xu is a small salt merchant in Guanlong, not only has to endure the exploitation of the big salt merchant on weekdays, but also has to tie up with the big salt merchant, otherwise once the big salt merchant is unhappy, the salt will be cut off directly, and the whole family of Boss Xu can only drink the northwest wind.

When he heard the news about Daqing Salt in the ink magazine, he immediately drove the carriage to the county seat to taste Daqing Salt, and immediately took out most of his savings and bought a salt ticket for Daqing Salt.

The quality of Daqing salt itself is superior, coupled with the purification technology of the Mo family, not only the taste is good, but also the appearance is very good.

For some small salt merchants like Xu Laoda, if they hoard salt, the risk is too great, just storage is a huge expense, now there are salt tickets in hand, take salt at any time, reduce their own risk to the minimum, and in order to open the market of Daqing salt, Merton has retained enough profits for salt merchants, so as not to make small and medium-sized salt merchants tempted.

This is the advantage of following the Mo family to do business, which is not only very profitable, but also extremely convenient.

With the signboard of the Mo family, small salt merchants like Boss Xu have moved to abandon other salt merchants and monopolize big green salt.

With the listing of a car of Daqing Salt, Daqing Salt, which is of high quality and low price, and convenient to pick up the goods, quickly seized the market, Lanzhou, Tianshui, Chencang, and Daqing Salt fell one after another along the brick road, and other salt fell one after another, and other salt fell one after another.

Especially when the finest fine salt of Daqing Salt was transported to Chang'an City, the price of salt in Chang'an City suddenly fell by three percent.

"Mo Jiazi!"

Many big salt merchants gritted their teeth and said hatefully.

This time, the most heavy losses are probably these big salt merchants, who have hoarded a large amount of salt in their hands before, and their status is as stable as Mount Tai, but once the big green salt appears on the market, not only is the condition better than them, the price is also cheaper than them, and it is convenient to pick up the goods, and many salt merchants' goods are directly smashed in their hands.

Among the salt merchants, the Taiyuan royal family suffered the most losses, and almost half of the market in the entire Guanlong land was lost, but the Taiyuan royal family was not angry but happy, because although the big green salt made them suffer heavy losses, it exposed a flaw in Merton, that is, the method of salt making.

The Mo family used coarse salt to make snow salt, and directly seized half of the fine salt market in Chang'an City, which made the Wang family red, but unfortunately the Mojia Village hid the salt production method very tightly, and the Wang family could not get it easily.

However, in the Daqing Salt Workshop in Lanzhou City, a group of salt merchants naturally have opportunities, and from the moment Daqing Salt is made, the method of making salt from the Mojiazi has appeared on the desks of various salt merchants, and the Wang family is naturally no exception.

Daqing Salt is backed by Chaka Salt Lake, and his Wang family also controls Yuncheng Salt Lake, if he gets the Mo family's salt production method, the Wang family's salt production will definitely skyrocket, what is this loss in front of him?

Next to the Yuncheng Salt Lake! Wang Zhe, who was recalled to the family, looked happy, he had planted a big heel because of the Mo family's snow salt, and now that his Taiyuan Wang family has obtained the Mo family's salt making method, he will definitely be ashamed.

"Wang Dong! How's the new salt brewing? Wang Zhe couldn't wait and couldn't wait to ask.

Wang Dongnai is the treasurer of the salt shop in Chang'an City, and this time he made a special trip back to Yuncheng to supervise the making of new salt for the sake of the Mo family's salt-making method.

Wang Dong bowed and said: "Back to the young master, the craftsmen have just come into contact with the Mojia craft, and they are still getting acquainted with it, I believe it will get better soon." ”

Although Wang Zhe was anxious, when he heard Wang Dong say this, he could only secretly hold back his temperament.

"Shopkeeper, crystallized!" Suddenly, an old craftsman with gray hair said with a look of surprise.

When Wang Zhe and Wang Dong heard this, they immediately rushed to the craftsman's side, only to see a blazing boiler, and pieces of crystal clear salt had crystallized at the bottom.

In order to succeed as soon as possible, Wang Zhe used the fastest method of boiling salt, Wang Zhe waved his hand, the firewood under the boiler was withdrawn, Wang Zhe did not wait for the temperature to drop, and couldn't wait to knock down a salt block from the boiler, and after blowing it cool, he put it in his mouth.

"Ahh

Wang Zhe's face suddenly distorted, and his face was bitter.

"How could it be so painful! Could it be that the secret recipe is wrong! Wang Zhe roared angrily, this time they used the Mo family's salt-making method, and the new salt produced was still difficult to swallow, and the unique bitterness of the Yuncheng Salt Lake still lingered.

Wang Dong tasted it in disbelief, and spit out the dry salt grains in his mouth again and again.

"Impossible! This set of craftsmanship villains has been done many times in Lanzhou, and it is impossible to make mistakes. The old craftsman said firmly.

Wang Dong shook his head and said, "Young Master, from a small point of view, this process is not wrong, you see that these salt grains are already very pure." ”

Only then did Wang Zhe calm down and muttered to himself: "How can that big green salt have such a mellow fragrance, but there is such a big difference in my Yuncheng Salt Lake." ”

"From a small point of view, I'm afraid the biggest reason is in the salt of this lake, it must be the good quality of Chaka Salt Lake, and my Yuncheng Salt Lake has always been called bitter salt, this method is a method specially tailored by Mojiazi for the lake salt of Chaka Salt Lake, and it is not necessarily suitable for Yuncheng Salt Lake." Wang Dong said bitterly.

Although Wang Dong's words are speculation, he guessed the point, Chaka Salt Lake is a natural high-quality edible salt, and Yuncheng Salt Lake is one of the world's three major sodium sulfate saltwater lakes, its composition is complex, and it is difficult to analyze other components with primitive filtration methods, so that in later generations, even the local edible salt in Yuncheng is mostly transported from other provinces.

"So, we're working for nothing?" Wang Zhe was furious.

Wang Dong shook his head and said, "Young master, don't worry, although we haven't been able to make big green salt, we have found a way to make snow salt." ”

Wang Zhe's eyes lit up suddenly, and suddenly it dawned that the snow salt produced in Mojia Village was made of Yuncheng coarse salt, and they would definitely be able to produce a large amount of snow salt by using this recipe.

"Immediately use this method to make Yuncheng fine salt, I want to make the snow salt in Mojia Village completely disappear in Chang'an City." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

The same thing happened in each salt-producing area, and although the method of producing large green salt was not suitable for other salt-producing areas, it brought a method of purifying fine salt to other salt-producing areas.

Thinking of the profiteering fine salt, many salt-producing areas have moved and began to make fine salt in large quantities.

A big green salt directly stirred up the salt politics in the land of Guanlong, not only the people were surging, but even the court was quite concerned, until the salt price in the land of Guanzhong stabilized at the usual eighty percent, the entire court was relieved.

"The Mo family is really a catfish, and he can toss a huge wind and waves wherever he goes." Many courtiers sighed.

The huge turmoil that Merton tossed out in Tuyuhun had already spread to the entire Chang'an City for the first time, but as batches of money were pulled into the treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it when they saw the money
