Chapter 388: Natural Pool Salt
"This is the lake salt you picked?"
On the main seat, Lu Bu took out the salt grains taken by Ding Ling, and his brows furrowed slightly. These salt grains are white in color, but some are big and some are small, and when he grabbed a little and put it in his mouth, Lu Bu almost didn't spit it out! The taste in my mouth is as unpleasant as eating a fly! There was still some bitterness in his mouth, so Lu Bu grabbed the utensils on the food table and poured a mouthful of wine into his throat, which was slightly more comfortable!
Looking at Lu Bu's reaction, the eyes of these Qiang people were full of helplessness! These pools of salt are treasures they deserve! But in Lu Bu's mouth, it is an unbearable existence. It's really a bit of a blow to them!
But they also have to admit that compared to some of the brine salts eaten by some nobles of the Han people, their pool salt is indeed not a good thing. And Lu Bu is a noble Han Wenhou, and he has also lived in Chang'an Luoyang, what delicacies and delicacies from the mountains and seas have not tasted? Compared to this, these pool salts are naturally not good enough in Lu Bu's eyes.
"Prince, these salts are the ...... we have taken from this salt."
Dian Qu looked at some of the pond salt in front of Lu Bu and smiled bitterly.
Looking at these pool salts in front of him, Lu Bu raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you usually take pool salt from these salt lakes?" What are the ...... of this salt production process? ”
Lu Bu's series of questions made the Qiang people present a little confused! After a period of silence, Dian Ling replied, "These pool salts are all produced in this salt pool, we just need to send someone to fetch and eat them...... We don't know the salt-making process you mentioned, ......."
"Grab it out of the box?"
After hearing what Dian Qu said, Lu Bu understood! This pool salt has the ability to crystallize naturally, and this is a natural pool salt! It's no wonder that the Qiang people were able to take these pools of salt! In this era when civilization has not yet been popularized, how can these Hu people know the process of salt making? Not to mention those Hu people, even Han people, they don't know much. And for salt and iron, it is generally governed by the government! In the Western Han Dynasty, the system of salt and iron official camps was adopted. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to develop this economy, Emperor Guangwu did not put salt and iron officials in the official camp, but also placed salt officials in various places to specifically govern these salt-producing places. In such a situation, it is naturally impossible for these Qiang people to know the salt-making process.
But it doesn't seem necessary to know?
These natural pond salts are like those open-pit coal mines mined by Lu Bu in Bingzhou. It doesn't take much trouble to take those natural pool salts and eat them, but what else do they have to do?
Of course, this natural pool salt can be eaten, but this purity is really not flattering! It's just that in this day and age, how many people are qualified to eat good salt? I can't get enough to eat, let alone salt! Naturally, these pond salts have also become the treasures of these Qiang people.
"Tyrannical Creatures!"
Lu Bu sighed slightly, such a good salt is here, if you don't make good use of it, it's really a waste! Thinking of this, Lu Bu asked Dian Wei to take out the salt he brought! Under Lu Bu's signal, Dian Ling slowly approached, looking at these relatively pure white salt grains, which were as fine as sand, and they looked good. Dian Ling gently twisted some with his two fingers and put it in his mouth, and his eyes immediately widened.
"Dian Qu! What do you think? ”
Looking at Dian Qu's expression, many Qiang heroes asked one after another! Judging from the color of the salt, they seemed to think that the salt brought by Lu Bu was better! Especially the expression of Dian Qu, I can't wait for everyone to step forward and grab a handful and put it in their mouths.
"These salt ......"
Dian Qu turned his gaze to Lu Bu, "Junhou, the taste of this salt is really several times better!" This is the most expensive salt among the Han people! Our natural salt ponds can also produce these white and flawless grains of salt, but in very small quantities, and it is not our turn to eat......"
"Oh?"
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, "Then who are these good salts given to?" ”
"Ding Zero!"
A Mighty Qiang man replied!
Those good pool salts are naturally based on this Ding zero! On these pool salts, Ding Ling's attitude is extremely tough! The benefits obtained will not be ceded half of the cent. Many of the heroes of the first Lingqiang are not eligible to enjoy it, let alone the Qiang people of other tribes. Thinking about it, there is also a sense of resentment.
"So, that Ding Ling is really damned! With his little appetite, he still dares to swallow all the salt pools in this Shuofang? ”
Lu Bu sneered, asked Dian Wei to divide the salt, let every Qiang handsome person taste it, and then said, "Do you know that the purpose of my coming to Shuofang is precisely for these salts? I don't lie to you, this Shuofang's Yanze must be governed by my big man, who dares to hit the idea of this Yanze, don't blame me Lu Bu for being ruthless! ”
Syllable!
After drinking a glass of wine and placing the utensils on the dining table, Lu Bu's cold drink made many people's hearts shocked!
"Of course, what you have tasted will be able to taste later! The salt I take in Shuofang will be this kind of good salt! I will set up Hu Markets in the cities of Shuofang for trade purposes! You can exchange your tribe's horses, cows, sheep, furs, and other things...... I can guarantee that the price of this salt will definitely be affordable for all of your Qiang tribes......"
Lu Bu said lightly, "When Ding Ling controlled Shuofang's Yanze, it only gave you a small profit, but what I gave you was the hope that you Qiang people from the North could survive!" As long as you can stay in this place, I will not do anything to you, but if you have any other thoughts, I will not spare you! This pseudo-king Ding zero example is in front! I hope all the leaders will take this as a warning! My Han has raised you for a hundred years, and you should have felt this grace too......"
After a word, those Qiang people nodded one after another!
When they learned that Lu Bu was going to establish Hu City, they were overjoyed. How could they not have known the importance of trade with these Han Chinese? If it weren't for the fact that the Han people didn't trade with them, they wouldn't have to fight for those pools of salt. On the side of these five plains, they have heard that after the opening of Hu City, the life of those Huns is simply not too good.
In a word, interoperable trade, but there is no harm in everything! These Qiang people really need a series of things such as silk and grain from the Han people.
The second update!
