Chapter 298: Salt Mixed with Stones
The so-called assassins were just a small episode, and for Li Hang, they were just scabies.
It's not painful, as long as you don't make trouble, and you are willing to live a peaceful and stable life, then it's easy to say anything, if you don't want to live and have to do things, then things are a bit excessive, and Lao Tzu will not show mercy.
This is Li Hang's attitude, and it is also his requirement for these people.
As long as you don't make trouble, it's easy to say anything, there is always a way for you to live a quiet life, but if you want to do something, then things are easy to do.
During the negotiation between Emperor Win Wu and them here, Li Hang also received a lot of news, among which the most exciting news was that the fishing village he planned had officially started construction.
The military families finally started the construction of the new village.
Taking advantage of the good weather and no snow in the past few days, the men finally began to build new houses not far from the coast.
The wooden houses were all built in their village a long time ago, and then they were dismantled and assembled, so that the construction of the houses was much faster.
In addition, Li Hang instructed that the foundation must be laid, as long as this point is done well. They won't have any problems.
And most importantly, these houses have a very obvious feature, which is the sloped house.
All the slopes are facing the sea.
On the one hand, this is to prevent the sea breeze from damaging the house, and on the other hand, the roof facing the sea can also be used to dry something.
This is quite useful for the people of these fishing villages.
As for what can be caught on the beach this year, Li Hang is not worried about their income, what they can catch from so many fishing villages along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, what can they catch here, and he also knows the production method of primitive monosodium glutamate, plus canned food, fish can become a commodity sooner or later.
Coupled with the simple and crude means of making money by drying sea salt, once it really starts to be promoted, you can make a lot of pickled things.
For example, pork that you can't eat by yourself now can be used to marinate and preserve.
What the? You say cured and smoked preserved meat is carcinogenic?
Big brother, cancer has not been officially discovered these years, and in this era when the average life expectancy is only more than 40 years, it is estimated that they have hung up before the cancer occurs.
And now it's important for them to save more food.
Li Hang pinched his chin with some excitement. "This kind of construction of these border army and military dependents will be very fast, as long as a fishing village is built, the salt field can be produced, not to mention the salt that those grassland people need, we can use our own salt in the future." Li Hang was very excited, but Zhou Yurong on the side came up curiously.
"My husband has been very safe with His Majesty these days, and I am very relieved, but I don't know if I should say something." Zhou Yurong was a little hesitant, she really didn't know whether to say this kind of thing or not.
"What's the matter?"
"Since my husband is going to make a fishing village and is preparing to dry salt, I think I still have to talk to my husband about this matter, and the salt we bought is a bit problematic these days!" Zhou Yurong said with a frown, and then asked the next person to get a lot of salt.
Seeing the salt in the bowl, Li Hang immediately discovered the problem. "When did it appear?"
"It's just a while ago that we found out about this problem, there is this kind of thing in this salt!"
What's there? There are stones and sand!
Li Hang's face was a little ugly, he had watched a lot of movies before, and he mixed sand, ash, and water into the rice. Salt is mixed with stones, sand, etc., to increase the weight of salt and rice, so that it is shoddy, and then it can be sold for more money, and some old rice can also be sold as new rice in this way.
The price of the two is not the same, but when you do this, things are completely different.
"When we buy another house, we will make this family's behavior public and tell everyone that this family sells low-quality salt!"
Zhou Yurong looked at her husband with some distress. "It's not like that, it's always been like this, and these salt merchants do it in the winter! So many families will store a little more salt in the fall. ”
"Why?" Li Hang is very curious, is this still about time? Tease.
"Because there is no salt to come in winter, everyone has to buy it from him, and at this time they can use the lack of salt as an excuse. So winter is the hardest hit area for them to do this. Zhou Yurong sighed, she can't control this matter, it was the same before, even if she lived in Beiping County before, she had to eat this kind of salt, she didn't do it, there was a little stone in the rice and salt of the poor family, this is a common thing, this is the same as the student cafeteria in later generations, is it called canteen rice without stones?
Li Hang frowned, and then picked up the bowl.
"Sift through a sieve, sift out all the stones and everything, and filter all the things in it again, if it really doesn't work, put water again, and we'll cook it again!"
Li Hang sighed. There is no way to do this, and if they want to, it will happen anywhere.
After all, mixing sand with rice or something is something that many people do, and this kind of thing is a norm.
"What do you think would happen if we provided better official salt in the future?" Li Hang said slowly, once this village is established and the salt drying starts to operate, there will be a surplus of salt here, and there is no need to transport it from other places, not to mention that he can control what these stores sell, if they dare to continue to do so, then he can trap them to death.
"Don't call it, I'll deal with this matter, as long as they dare to continue to sell these inferior salts, I can join forces with the imperial grandson to confiscate them. I will also dispose of those who sell inferior rice, and I will also dispose of them, and I naturally have a way to make it impossible for them to survive if they are replaced with new rice. Li Hang smiled confidently, a lot of work will start at the beginning of spring, and then those businessmen themselves have a way to rectify them, and if anyone dares to mess around, they will still have a way to deal with them.
At this time, I have a lot of things in my hands, not only commodities, but also salt and other dishes as well as canned food and monosodium glutamate began to be developed, these things can be used as commodities and sent from here to all parts of the country. All you need to do is build an integrity archive.
In this way, when you sell it once, you will deduct it once, and when you come to ask for these goods in the future, there will be nothing for you, this is not a joke but a huge advantage of your own unique business, and the rules are all made by yourself.
