Chapter 0040 Multiple Uses of Salt

Whether Li Ang is a genius or a fool, many good people in the neighborhood even rushed to Mantis Pass to find out. This made the mantis pass a lot more lively all of a sudden, and even the fake Taoist priest who sold dog skin plasters and fortune tellers came to the mantis pass.

"Hey, I said Yang Banxian, he is also idle left and right, why don't you calculate for that fool named Li Ang, he will be a poor man or a rich man in the future." Someone tugged at the sleeve of the fake Taoist priest and amused.

The fake Taoist priest stroked his beard with one hand and said unhappily: "People Li Ang will have money in the future and don't say it, but the poor Dao dares to assert that you idle people will all be poor in the future." ”

"Hey, Yang Banxian, why do you talk like this? No wonder you can't get a deal in half a day, you deserve it! ”

"That's it, I'm here to see a lively affair about your!"

The old god Yang Banxian said on the ground: "Usually, immortals don't laugh at mortals for being stupid. ”

"We are mortals, not immortals."

"Well, smart people don't laugh at others for being stupid."

"Who's going to laugh?"

"Fool!"

"Well, that's right, huh...... No, look for a fight! Kill you fake Taoist priest......."

There are more than a dozen abandoned salt wells, with the surrounding bare mountains, this kind of saline-alkali land is not easy to grow crops, it does not cost much to buy, and the procedure is very simple, just find the county household secretary to handle it. Li Ang simply bought the entire mountain range, which is why it caused such a big sensation.

After Fang Dayong handed over the title deed to Li Ang, Fang Ji finally couldn't help but say: "Now that you have bought this mountain range as you wish, what way do you have to bring Yanjing back to life, it's time to talk about it." ”

"Hehe, yes, I've finally made some progress, and I'm finally going to let out a few serial farts." Li Ang glanced at Fang Ji, threw the raw chicken that Fang Dayong had just bought, and Tinker Bell pounced on it, biting the neck of the chicken with unmistakable accuracy, and then took it to the side, happily enjoying its food.

Francis' endurance was extraordinary, and he was not angry, looking at Leon in silence. Fang Dayong and Fang Daniu also watched with a blank eye, just waiting for Li Ang to come up with a clever trick to quickly revitalize these salt wells that were on the verge of bankruptcy.

Li Ang sat down under the eaves of the thatched house, and said in a good time: "This ploughing and farming depends on the sky for food, and the same is true for opening salt wells." ”

Fang Dayong immediately asked, "Li Langjun, can you make it clear?" How does this salt well depend on the sky for food? ”

"Rare and weird! Who said that brine must be boiled over a firewood fire to produce salt? Dig a salt pond and pour the brine into the pool and let the sun evaporate the brine. Leon didn't understand, the ancients were smarter than the later generations in some ways, but in some ways they couldn't turn this corner.

"Shhh...... Li Langjun is talking about the method of reclamation and watering, right? I'm afraid this won't work. Li Langjun didn't know that this method of reclamation and drying requires sufficient sunshine all year round, or an open and dry northwest wind.

Our Jiannan Road, the mountains are rainy, the sunshine is less, the climate is humid, the spring and summer are rainy, and the autumn and winter are not as dry and cold as the north, but gloomy, damp and cold.

In addition, the cost of building a salt pond is too large, and the recovery cost takes a long time. This state and county officials serve for a three-year term, and no one knows what the situation will be when the next official comes, and whether he can recover so much money is too risky, and no one is reluctant to do it. ”

"Huh?" Leon rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle...... It's not good, it's going to rain, put away your clothes!

The rain really came as soon as it was said, a dark cloud covered the mountain, and the white rain poured down like beads, which suddenly made Li Daqiu hug his head and scurry.

No, the whole mountain has been bought, and you can't just admit it like this, let alone show your cowardice.

After entering the hut, Li Ang wiped the rain from his face and said: "Dayong, you first tell me about things related to salt, whether it is the link of making salt or selling salt, as well as the price and sales of salt, but everything related to salt will give me a detailed explanation." Note that details matter, don't let go of a detail. ”

"Li Langjun, where do you start?"

"Let's start with salt."

"Uh.........." Fang Dayong pondered his thoughts before saying, "This salt is divided into pool salt, green salt, stone salt, Persian salt, etc., according to the origin, and according to the type, it is divided into white salt, black salt, soft salt, red salt, barge salt, stinky salt, purslane salt, etc.

The products produced in our Jiannan Province are all well salt, and the quality is not as good as the pool salt in Hedong Road and the green salt in Longyou. As for the sales volume, Guanzhong mainly eats the salt from Hedong and the green salt from Longyou, and then the salt produced in Yanzhou in Guanneidao.

As for the sales of salt, it is that everyone needs to eat every day, according to the per capita calculation, each person consumes about two spoonfuls and five pinches of salt per day, and the population of Yizhou Mansion is nearly one million, and the annual salt consumption is about 100,000 stones.

In terms of price, the current salt price in Jiannan Province is ten wen per bucket, and the price in remote salt-deficient areas is correspondingly higher. The production cost of well salt, including brine extraction, boiling salt, and transportation, is generally about three cents and one bucket.

According to its use, this salt is divided into human food, animal food, medicinal use, etc.........."

"Stop!" Li Ang's index finger was a little useful, and he said, "Tell me about this animal food and medicinal use in detail." ”

Fang Dayong's mouth was dry when he spoke, looking at the heavy rain outside the door, he had the urge to rush out to catch water and drink: "Don't Li Langjun know that this livestock also needs to eat salt?" ”

"I'm only allowed to ask you, not me, understand?"

"Understood. Whether it is horses, cattle and sheep, they generally need to eat salt, if there are 20,000 horses in the eight horse workshops in the court, each horse is given two pieces of salt per day, and the total amount of salt per day is forty stones. Another army and horse were to hold 37 stone and 5 buckets of salt in one day, 1,125 stone in a month, and 6,750 stone in six months. Ordinary people's livestock consume less salt, but the total number of various types of livestock is huge, and the total amount is amazing. It's just that the salt eaten by livestock is of poor quality and has many impurities. ”

Fang Dayong said that the military word in "the horse of another army" refers to the establishment of the Tang Army, which means that the daily salt consumption of a army's horses consumes more than 10,000 stones of salt a year.

However, the quality requirements of this livestock for salt are very low, and the price is low and the profit is small, so Li Ang no longer thinks about this. He took a deep breath and continued, "Tell me about this medicinal salt." ”

"Yes, Li Langjun." Fang Dayong is the successor of the old housekeeper of the Fang family, and he also shows off his talents in front of Fang Ji, and talks eloquently, "Salt, salty and warm are non-toxic, killing ghosts and insects, scabies in the lower part of the body, typhoid fever, cold and heat, can vomit crazy in the chest, stop abdominal pain, and fall muscles and bones."

For example, in the "Preparation for Emergency", there are at least 60 prescriptions that need to use salt, involving gynecology, pediatrics, otolaryngology, internal medicine, and surgery.

There are many veterinary drugs that need to use salt in the sixth volume of "Qi Min Yaoshu", such as "treating horses in the water", "treating horses in the valley", "treating horses with painful hooves", "treating horses with urine and urine", "treating horses with abdominal distension and sleeping and wanting to die", "treating donkeys with leaky hooves", "sheep pus, nose and eyes with unclean eyes", "treating sheep with hooves" and so on.

According to the different people and animals, the salt required is also different, all the prescriptions for curing diseases and saving people, the salt required is also the most exquisite, in addition to the salt of the four places of Shangshu, the salt produced in other places, are not available, the price of medicinal salt is naturally the highest, such as the medicinal salt produced in Yanguan Town, Chengzhou, is two to three times more expensive than its ordinary edible salt. ”

There is no doubt that there are huge business opportunities in this medicinal salt, and the price of medicinal salt is two or three times that of ordinary credit salt! If you can make salt like Chengzhou, or even better than it, wouldn't it be a source of money?

Not to mention anything else, just winning the share of medicinal salt in Jiannan Province is an astonishing wealth figure.

The key is, what kind of quality does medicinal salt need?

Li Anglai came to his senses, and immediately asked: "Tell me why this Chengzhou salt can become the first choice for medicinal use?" ”
