Chapter 287: Salt Refining on a Scale
"The Sea Salt ...... of Qi Country" suddenly resounded in the scout camp, and there were bursts of low cheers, everyone knows what kind of effect salt has on the common people, especially the army!
Huang Lie noticed the movement around him, glanced cautiously at the moment, and looked at the many soldiers, completely without the kindness of his usual days, but said fiercely like a tiger: "Han Senjun did not avoid refining poisonous smoke into white salt, but treated the soldiers of the scout camp as his own family, and the law is not passed on to the six ears, joining the army is already a great favor to the scout camp, if someone dares to reveal the method of refining poisonous salt...... So-and-so must have beheaded him! ”
Those old Qin people stopped their low cheers, knelt on the ground and bowed to Lin Yuyan: "A certain oath will never reveal the method of refining salt to join the army, if you violate this oath, a certain five thunders will hit the top!" ”
Lin Yuyan didn't expect that the white salt would be able to make these old Qin people treat him like this, so he immediately picked up Huang Lie and said: "The method of refining salt is not hidden from you, and I don't plan to make a fortune alone...... I have been in the army for some days, and I know the shortage of salt in the army, so I can let you spread the technology of refining poisonous salt! ”
"No!" Huang Lie stopped Lin Yuyan and said: "Joining the army can know that mastering the method of refining poisonous salt is a fortune that is pouring into the sky, and giving this wealth to others is really not worth joining the army!" ”
When Lin Yuyan heard this, to be honest, he was not a selfless person, especially when he heard Huang Lie say this, he calmed down a lot at the moment, and finally said after thinking about it: "Now that Wuguan has implemented a new military policy, all of you scout battalions are army sergeants, according to common sense, it is better to choose the field of the scout camp soldiers here, this is a poisonous land, and even it is possible to ask Wuguan to allocate ten acres to one acre to the army sergeants!" ”
There is no shortage of upright soldiers who hesitated: "Join the army, this is a barren land, I'm afraid that no crops will grow...... Also, there is no pasture, so I am afraid it will be difficult to raise ......."
An angry old pawn slapped the young offspring on the head, and said with hatred: "You bastard boy who doesn't know the hearts of good people, in front of you is the gold mountain given to a certain scout battalion soldier by joining the army, but you are prevaricating, and you have a way to refine poisonous smoke, seeing this, about ten catties of white salt are refined a day, and go to Wuguan to exchange for food, but ten stones of grain can be exchanged, you stupid boy!" ”
Everyone laughed and laughed at each other, and the stunned soldier also laughed......
"Join the army! Checkmate! Suddenly, another soldier approached.
Everyone looked over, and officially one of the soldiers who Lin Yuyan asked him to boil the mud and salt water.
"What?" Huang Lie stepped forward and asked.
The soldier carefully held a large cauldron and said, "Salt has been refined!" Salt has been refined! It's still three points whiter than goat's milk! ”
Everyone looked over, this soldier was cautious about the cauldron in his hand, facing his own brothers, he still showed the salt in the cauldron very happily, although it was not as much as the amount of poisonous salt directly refined, but it was also a lot, a small pinch with the thickness of a thumb.
"The mud here can be made out of salt?!" Many of the scout camp soldiers were also stunned!
Jing Yi and other Zongwei also looked at their own highness, when they were young, this highness was bent on getting rich, and even came up with some inferior methods of businessmen, but they didn't expect that their own highness could not only put forward the toxicity in the poisonous smoke, but even comparable to the sea salt that was as white as winter snow in Qi country!
I knew what I was tossing at the beginning, so I just bought some slaves to come to this Wuguan to refine salt!
"Let's have a taste!" Jing Yi stepped out, ordered some salt from the kettle and stuck it on his fingers, then licked it, and after a long aftertaste, he looked at Lin Yuyan and replied: "Joining the army, this refined salt has no bitterness, and it is no different from the sea salt of Qi bought by those old clans in Wancheng!" ”
As soon as he heard what the guards around him said this, the scout battalion soldiers rushed up, and the salt that was refined was only a small half cauldron, weighing about a catty, which was usually the amount of salt used by more than 100 people in the scout camp for more than a month, but they didn't expect that these scout battalion soldiers had no mercy, and directly divided up a catty of salt in the cauldron.
There are scout battalion soldiers with quick eyes, and even directly grabbed a small handful of salt, which was poured into his mouth and chewed slowly, which seemed to be salty and a little salty. But the soldier still poured a big mouthful of water, swallowed it all directly into his stomach, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, this is definitely the most pleasant thing I have ever done in my life!" ”
Everyone laughed......
Lin Yuyan and Jing Yi naturally do not lack salt on weekdays, but looking at the heroism of the scout battalion soldiers eating salt, they suddenly felt a burning sensation rise in their throats, although salt is precious, but they can't eat it like this!
Huang Lie looked at the empty cauldron and said: "It seems that don't sleep tonight, according to the method of joining the army, the big guy will at least refine dozens of catties of salt tonight!" ”
A soldier said: "General, there are only five cauldrons that have come out this time, and there is not much forage, and there is not much clean water!" ”
"What is this!" Huang Lie waved his hand and said: "Salt refining can only be done by a few people, so let everyone else come out to find firewood, and then row some people back to the ancient Qin Road, according to which less than ten miles away, there is a Ma Lake that used to drink, go there to get water!" ”
As he spoke, Huang Lie took off his coat, which was also made of linen, and handed it to a soldier beside him: "Wash the clothes and refine the salt!" ”
"General, the weather is still very cold at night...... "One soldier advised.
Huang Lie directly interrupted him: "A certain rank and soldier in the army, how can he be afraid of the cold!" Besides, the bonfire was burning all the time during the salt refining, and I couldn't feel the cold! ”
Hearing this, many scout camp soldiers also untied their coats and said, "So-and-so also took out Mai ......."
Seeing this, Huang Lie was also a little moved, but Lin Yuyan glanced at these soldiers, and did not forget to instruct: "Everything at the entrance must be carefully cared for, the clothes should be washed cleanly, and the blood stains must not be allowed to cause illness ......in the entrance."
"Whoa!" Many of the scout battalion soldiers responded with their fists clenched.
It was still Huang Lie who pleaded to Lin Yuyan's military salute: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight, I've been running around the army all night, so I'd better stay by the campfire and rest for a while as soon as possible, the movement in the night is not small!" ”
Huang Lie's words were full of unconcealed ecstasy......
