Yinglian held the four stone balls in both hands and turned non-stop, his neck stretched out, his eyes stared, as if he had discovered the mountain ~ carving of the contact map; Curious, he unconsciously regained his style in the army, and strode around Bai Dong, turning back and forth, and the camp was full of the sound of his footsteps; The young officer of the son is more simulated, squatting next to Bai Dong for a while and sticking his head out, and then retracting it for a while, looking very funny; That is to say, Yingquliang and Lao Ganlongbiao are more normal, both of them are competing with tea, and they have drunk a few big bowls after a while, and they are still asking for it

It's so weird, this kid has set up a stove in the big tent, and put a large piece of coarse salt in the kettle, what is this going to do? The contemporary Bian Que Qin Yue people said that if it is the best fine salt produced by Qi State, it can be dissolved in water to clean the wounds of wounded soldiers, and the coarse salt that the old Qin people often eat is still forgotten, which contains evil poison, not only can not save people, but also make the wounded die quickly! Even if you boil the brine and use it to marinate the meat, you don't need so much, right? will salty to death.

Bai Dong didn't explain, and when he saw the temperature of the salt water, he poured it into the barrel, and covered the mouth of the barrel with the fine yarn of Yuedi, and asked the young officer to help him hold the bottom of the barrel and pour it back into the kettle; At this time, the white yarn has turned yellow and black, and after cleaning the bucket, the filtered salt water is poured back into the bucket, and the new yarn is filtered again, so four or five times in a row, until the white sand will no longer change color, the furnace fire is rekindled, and the salt water in the kettle is continued to boil, and most of the salt water in the kettle is boiled away, and there is no intention to remove the furnace fire.

"Boy. What exactly are you doing? ”

The fungus really couldn't help it, so he came to Bai Dong and looked at him with two big eyes like cow eggs, indicating that I was puzzled. Lao Ganlong sneered, shook his head and sarcastically mocked his old opponent: "General, for generals, you should have the stability of mountains, and for writers, you should be like autumn water, how can you achieve great things?" It can be seen that your "Shujing Bianyi" is Qilu after all" In fact, he is also curious, but he has a calm personality and can endure it better than the bacteriological.

"Huh. The Admiral does not need to be in a hurry. When the water in the kettle is dry, there will naturally be surprises. ”

"Ping'an Lang, don't tell me that you can get fine salt in such a simple way, if the people of Qi and Yan hear about this. It's going crazy right away! ”

"Second brother has good eyesight. It's just that I don't want fine salt. It's refined salt! It is a hundred times better than the ordinary fine salt of Qi State, and ten times better than the best fine salt of Qi State for one gold and one tael, if it is sold for two gold and one tael. Someone will break their heads! Bai Dong smiled slightly, the Bai family had been secretly eating filtered refined salt for a long time, but he gave a gag order, and anyone who dared to leak it out would be expelled from Baijiazhuang immediately; It's not that Bai Dong is ruthless, it's really that this matter is too serious, if the time is not right, it will make the world known, it will hurt Lao Qin, and even make unpredictable changes in the pattern of the world. If it hadn't happened to be the Qin Wei Alliance, he thought of a wonderful move, and he wouldn't have come up with it now.

"Refined salt? Ten times better than the best fine salt in Qi country! ”

The stone ball in Yinglian's hand was spinning wildly. He was really afraid that he would suddenly be confused, this matter was too terrifying, an ordinary piece of coarse salt could make such a change after a few turns in this kid's hands? Since the stinky boy has such a means, why didn't he take it out earlier?

Eighty percent of the salt in the world comes from the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan and Wei, Qi Yan is sea salt, and Wei is out of the pool salt, which is the fine salt of Qi as the top grade; Although there is well salt in the Qin State, but no large salt pond has been found so far, so it is subject to the Three Kingdoms in eating salt, in the old Qin Mo said that it is an ordinary Li people, even the ordinary nobles can not eat fine salt every day, that thing is too expensive, and rare. If you can easily get a better 'refined salt' than the fine salt of Qi with this method, how much wealth should this be? Lao Qin can become the richest country tomorrow! Stinky boy, he even has itchy teeth, he wants to bite Bai Dong.

But now there is no time to bite, a miracle has appeared. As the water in the kettle was gradually evaporated, a layer of white as frost appeared at the bottom of the kettle, which was as white as snow and as clean as jade. They smelled the finest salt, which was a good thing, and it was so delicious to mix the meat soup that even they might not be able to eat it every day.

After the final baking, it is close to the salt of the later generations. During the Warring States Period, no one could master this simplest chemical refining method, that is, the best fine salt in Qi was actually still a little bitter, and coarse salt was not eaten by people, and it would be poisoned if you ate too much. Bai Dong took some salt and put it into the pottery plate prepared by the guard, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please taste it, is this refined salt a hundred times better than Qi salt?" ”

Dipping his fingers in some refined salt and putting it in his mouth, Lao Yinglian suddenly perked up and shouted for the guards to bring meat soup. It has been prepared for a long time, several large bowls of hot meat soup are sent up, and the refined salt refined by Bai Dong is transferred, and the monarchs and ministers can't stop eating, looking at each other speechlessly, just want to cry This life is in vain, and only today can I eat such a pure salty taste! Several people looked at Bai Dong at the same time, and there was resentment in their eyes.

"Stinky boy, if you have such a means, why are you willing to show it today? Don't let the widow guess it, has Baijiazhuang already eaten this refined salt? Everyone in the tent was amazed, but the young official Gongzi was not much surprised, Ying Lian knew that this little son lived in the Bai family, and he was not full enough to eat and drink, so he immediately thought of the key.

"Your Excellency sees it. Yes, since coming to Liyang, the Bai family has eaten this kind of refined salt, Lao Qin's coarse salt is not delicious, bitter and astringent, and if you eat too much, you will have a stomachache. ”

"Okay, you kid still have the face to say? The widow came to ask you, as a great Qin guest and an eighth-class lord, you should do your duty as a courtier when you eat my Qin Guolu, why do you have such a means of refining refined salt, but you refuse to dedicate it to the country and only care about your own enjoyment? You're so angry! "Lao Yinglian is really sad, he thinks that if he had eaten this refined salt, maybe he wouldn't be confused, a generation of male lords have come to get confused, and this is all eaten by eating those unclean salts!

"Don't blame you. The kid once did a survey and found that the price of salt in the world is ten times the price of grain! In Lao Qin Mo, it is said that it is Li Min, even if it is an ordinary scholar, it is difficult to eat salt every day; Fang Caijun also saw with his own eyes that refining refined salt in the way of a kid will consume more than half of the amount of salt, and this is not the most critical, coarse salt tastes bitter, even if someone can afford to eat it, the amount is not much. Lao Qin can still support it. However, if the method of refining salt is promoted too early, people all over the world will taste such a wonderful taste, and the amount of salt used will be doubled. Your Majesty, so is the heart of man. With the good stuff. will abandon the bad ones. At that time, it will become a noble scholar and a doctor who pursues refined salt every day, and Li Min Qianshou will be even more saltless to eat, if the kid rashly promotes it. Wouldn't he have become a sinner who harmed Lao Qin? ”

"You kid always have a point"

Ying Lian thought about it, and felt that Bai Dong was reasonable. Lao Qin is not a salt-producing area, every time you have to buy foreign salt, if there is no such refined salt refining method, it is just that, once this method is promoted, the amount of salt will inevitably increase exponentially, and then it is really possible to make Li Min have no salt to eat, no salt to eat is more terrible than no food, people will have no strength, the body will give birth to white hair, what combat power does Lao Qin have to correct?

"There is a shortage of salt in our country, but Wei is not lacking. Wei can dominate the world, although it has gone through the two generations of Wenhou and Wuhou, but the benefits of salt and iron are also important reasons, the wealth of Qi is also because of salt! Therefore, the kid thought that if this refining method was passed on to the Wei State, the King of Wei would be very happy, and my old Qin could exchange it for millions of military funds, and it didn't seem to be a loss."

"Don't suffer? The old man sees that he has suffered a big loss! ”

Fungus interrupted Bai Dong's words: "Why are you kid smart for a while and confused for a while?" Wei State already produces salt, and you gave this method to Wei State, isn't it like a capital enemy? Don't say that it is in exchange for millions of military funds, that is, tens of millions, and that is also my old Qin's loss. ”

"Hehe, the general sees it, and thinks that King Wei will think the same way, right? So the kid will inevitably agree to exchange millions of military resources, but soon the king of Wei will have a headache Wei is a big country, the nobles and doctors in the country are several times that of my old Qin, and the big businessmen are even more incomprehensible, even if they are ordinary citizens, they are ten times richer than my old Qin; These people can afford to eat salt, and if there is better refined salt, they are more willing to spend money. The boy heard that the Wei State brought 360,000 armor, of which 100,000 were the most elite Wei warriors in the world, these people did not farm, did not work, should eat, drink and spend, all of them were borne by the state, if there was refined salt, they would inevitably have a share; The kid also heard that the Wei State has a big businessman, which is beneficial in his eyes, but he does not have the patriotic blood of my old Qin businessman, many of them made a fortune in the salt industry, if there is refined salt, they will immediately abandon those coarse salts, where will the loss be calculated? The kid also heard that "

"You kid don't need to say it, a widow is not stupid. Wei is strong in the world with the benefits of salt and iron, and the Chinese people have long been accustomed to using salt every day, and merchants also use it to seek profits abroad. If there is a method of refining refined salt, the salt production of Wei will not increase, but the loss will increase exponentially, and Wei will be short of salt, but refined salt can be sold for more money, and they will not go to Yanqi to buy coarse salt after making money? ”

"Hehe, the gentleman said it well, Wei will naturally go to Yanqi to buy salt, but Yan Qi is willing to sell it, right? If Yan Qi refuses to sell, or raises the price of salt, what will happen to Wei? ”

Bai Dong said with a smile: "At first, Yan Qi may not find out, but when they find out that Wei Guo buys a lot of salt, and they find that there is more refined salt than fine salt, what should they do?" Yan is weak, the salt production is not as good as Qi State, the salt in the world is profitable, it was originally Qi and Wei are divided, but now Wei State wants to monopolize it, but Qi State will become a 'hard labor' to provide raw materials for people, will Qi State be willing? ”

"Haha, the amount of salt produced by Qi is still more than that of Wei, so naturally they will not be willing to be robbed of salt profits, and they will be more eager to get a way to refine refined salt; But who is Wei Ying? If this law is in his hands, it will inevitably be kept strictly secret, and if Qi State cannot get the law, and it is taken away by Wei State, it will naturally hate Wei State. In the old man's mind, the Qi State will definitely unite with the Yan State to raise the price of salt, and in this way, the Wei State will hate the Qi State in turn. Boy, you're amazing! In ancient times, Yan Ying divided the peach and killed the soldiers, are you sharing salt from other countries and provoking the relationship between Wei and Qi? ”

Gan Long looked at Bai Dong with a smile, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, this is the talent of Zhuguo, and he gave him words in vain. Yingqu Liang looked at Bai Dong silently, secretly shocked in his heart, he used to underestimate Ping An Lang, only when he fiddled with strange skills and tricks, although he also revitalized literary affairs, but he was slack, after all, it was difficult to become a big tool, I didn't think that he could come up with a salt refining method casually, and he could come up with various follow-up means to provoke the Three Kingdoms invisibly, if this matter can really be done, it is fully qualified to write into the family motto of the Ying family.

Only the young officer of Gongzi still can't figure it out, isn't it salt? Why are my father-in-law and the doctor so excited? The brother of the Bai family is so smart, and he doesn't want to think about how to make Hum obey the little grizzly bear, that is the most interesting thing

"Uncle Gamble blames me. Why am I provoking? As soon as the method of refining salt comes out, Wei Qi and the two countries will turn against each other for their interests, and I don't think I can pull it anymore. Bai Dong felt very wronged.

"Well said, the battle of interests is the fundamental dispute! Terrible, boy, do you know that the day when Wei Ying is happy to refine the salt method is the time when Wei Qi turns against him? The princes of the world, my old Qin is in the west, and it is still difficult to compete with the Wei State; The state of Chu is strong, but the court is full of twilight; Han and Zhao are Wei's lackeys, and the rest of the small countries are even less important; Those who can compete with the Wei State are the Qi State, and you may be able to change the pattern of the world."

The fungus twisted his beard and groaned for a long time, and when he looked at Bai Dong again, his eyes were full of wonder, as if he had seen a piece of gold. (To be continued......)
