Chapter 22: The Mountain Rain is Coming
When the stone salt mine is in hand, it is to put it in advance, but for Chu himself, it was exposed to the hands of the Wang family.
But there's no way around it, if you don't do it.
When the stone salt mine was in hand, Chu Feng entered the palace again and told Li Shimin the news.
Li Shimin also knew what Chu Feng had done.
"Chu Feng, if that's the case, then you're on the cusp of this."
Li Shimin looked at Chu Feng and said with some concern, no matter what, this time Chu Feng was also to help him.
"It's okay, since the Wang family wants to deal with me, then I naturally can't just arrest me."
Chu Feng glanced at Li Shimin and said, Count you Li Shimin still have a little conscience.
But he wasn't just for him, and everything was just 50,000 for each other.
He needs to use Li Shimin's momentum, and Li Shimin needs to use himself to fight against the Wang family.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Shimin sent someone to transport the things that Chu Feng had entrusted him to build to the stone salt mine with soldiers.
The main purpose of night delivery is to hide the story from fewer people.
After all, what Chu Feng sent people to create, it was not a small thing.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin announced that he would hand over the manufacture and refining of official salt to Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, I remember that you are doing your best in the position of envoy on Zuojie, and this time the matter of official salt will be handed over to you, I hope you can also do your best."
"This matter is related to the safety of the people, if something goes wrong, it is a big crime."
Li Shimin looked at Chu Feng and said that this is not only a polite remark, but it is also Li Shimin's advice to Chu Feng.
At this time, it was also unexpected for Baiguan to look at this scene.
They didn't expect that the news had just come out yesterday, and this time Chu Feng was in charge of the official salt.
Obviously, this is Li Shimin going to do this with the Wang family.
Those officials who do not bother with the Wang family, although they are very happy about Li Shimin's attitude, they are not optimistic about Chu Feng's appointment.
But what surprised them was the Wang family, and there was no one in their faction to dissuade Li Shimin.
It seems that they are ready to deal with Chu Feng after Chu Feng takes office.
Chu Feng took office, and first went to the official salt shop to tell the shop the news that the official salt continued to reduce the price.
However, the price is still reduced, and the quantity is also limited.
You can't just let people hollow it out at once.
"Chu Feng, I want to see how capable you are."
Wang Si said coldly after knowing about Chu Feng's price reduction.
"Wang Fen, you take people to observe the movements of the stone salt mine at all times, and report to me immediately as long as they have any movements."
"If Chu Feng really extracted edible salt from the stone salt mine, then it would be his death."
"Yes, Master."
Wang Fen immediately received the order, 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 still not enough, so he wrote a few letters and asked people to send them out.
"The family is not limited to the Wang family, and the whole body is moved, Your Majesty, you are clearly wrestling with my Wang family today, I don't know what the other families will think?"
Wang Si sneered and said.
On the stone salt mine, Chu Feng also specially sent people to surround the stone salt mine by Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, so as not to let people approach.
Of course, ordinary people will not approach, in order to let those families know that it is not so clear.
"Chu Feng, how can we mine here, aren't these tools here?"
Cheng Chumo looked at this place, it was a place that the Wang family had mined before, so he was very puzzled.
"These guards, if they just block ordinary people, it's no problem, and they can also make the people of the Wang family have some scruples, but it is impossible for the Wang family to be completely unaware of the situation here."
Chu Feng looked at Cheng Chumo and said.
"Therefore, the mining here is just conventional mining, just to temporarily paralyze the sight of the Wang family."
Chu Feng knew what the fat man was doing, but he believed that he still knew the severity of such things.
In this way, the mining of stone salt ore officially began, and Chu Feng made a rush to work, processing and refining stone salt day and night.
In three days, Chu Feng has hardly left here, and the mining here has not changed.
In the evening, when Cheng was bored in every way, Qin Huaiyu came.
"Huaiyu, why are you here?" Cheng Chumo immediately spoke after seeing Qin Huaiyu.
"I asked him to come, of course we can't stay here forever, this Wang family has been watching for three days, and it's enough."
Chu Feng was the first to answer.
"Chu Feng, everything has been done as you said." Qin Huaiyu also nodded and said.
"What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Cheng Chu said incomprehensibly.
"Let's go, 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 in the evening.
He and Cheng Chumo came to the other side of the Salt Mine Mountain Range.
At this time, Cheng Chumo saw a tighter defense, and there were many iron tools, which were all big guys.
First of all, there is a large iron mill, then a large iron pot, a large iron bucket, and iron pipes, which are not ordinary iron pipes, and they are separated by a fine net.
After setting up the iron mill and getting all the pots and iron buckets ready, Chu Feng began to teach everyone to make salt.
These people are all Li Shimin's people, so loyalty does not need to be considered.
If you don't rely on this to make money, otherwise you won't become the next royal family, and Li Shimin will definitely not let himself go.
Although they don't practice salt here these days, they are not idle, and countless stone salt mines have been broken into small stones.
Chu Feng asked them to put the small stones on the grinding plate.
"Chu Feng, are you going to use a grinding disc to crush this stone?"
Although Cheng Chumo is a little bit better, he still understands the role of stone grinding.
"It's not just crushed, it's powdered." Chu Feng nodded.
It's all about to be taught to them anyway, so there's no need to hide it.
It is not a simple matter to grind the stone salt mine, and the screeching sound is very unbearable.
But the good thing is that they are all professional people and can tolerate it.
The salt ore was crushed into powder and then placed in large iron drums.
"Fetch water to soak."
"Soaking? Soak it, then isn't the powder all gone? Cheng Chumo was stunned again.
Chu Feng glanced at Cheng Chumo, "What's the hurry, listen to me finish speaking." ”
"There are a lot of impurities in this stone salt mine, and its powder is soaked in water for preliminary filtration, knowing that salt can melt in water."
"So we just have to wait for the salt to melt and the water to dry up, and then we can get the salt?"
"It's as simple as that? But in this case, how could the Wang family not know? ”
Cheng Chumo said excitedly at first, and then he was puzzled.
"It seems that you are not stupid, this is the first step, you will see it later." Chu Feng said with a smile.
If there was such a simple thing, the Wang family would have succeeded a long time ago.
After waiting for a stick of incense, Chu Feng turned on the iron bucket switch, 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 the stone salt poison.
If you can't get rid of the poison of stone salt, everything will be in vain.
Chu Feng then asked people to bring up the prepared charcoal.
The charcoal is wrapped in cloth and is also to be hammered.
As soon as the charcoal was placed in the salt water, there was a sizzling sound.
Cheng Chumo and the others all thought it was very magical, but Chu Feng knew that it was charcoal and stone salt poison that were reacting.
Carbon can have the functions of adsorption, purification and filtration.
Chu Feng made people stir hard, and it was also a stick of incense, and the salt water was no longer brown.
Not only that, but there is no longer the bitter taste that was at the beginning.
Cheng Chumo was also very excited when he found out.
All that's left is to boil the salt over the fire and wait for it to crystallize.
These steps are not difficult, and anyone who makes salt will, so Chu Feng didn't say much.
Two hours later, everyone was boiling, and they looked at the crystallized salt in disbelief.
It's too white.
They had never seen such salt, not even the Wang family.
"Chu Feng, it's successful, we've succeeded." Cheng Chumo was very excited and looked at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng naturally smiled.
But I know in my heart that what will happen next will be the craziest revenge of the Wang family.
I just want to be happy in Datang, why do you need to force me?
Wang Si, don't blame me for being ruthless, with an enemy like you, I can't sleep well.
The corners of Chu Feng's mouth rose and he was very confident.
