Chapter 19 Salt Lake Reconstruction
Zhao Ziyi gathered everyone together and ordered people to go back to find more refining tools, while the rest continued to make salt. It didn't take long for another group of people to hurry to the lake with eight carts of materials, and under the leadership of the previous group, they were in full swing.
Zhao Ziyi watched the snow-white salt being refined little by little, and the long-standing haze was swept away, and his cold expression softened a lot.
"In fact, although this method of frying salt is fast, the output is not large, and it consumes firewood. Mu Qingli was in a good mood and felt that she should give something back, so she proposed.
Zhao Ziyi turned around, patted Mu Qingli on the shoulder with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and then called a soldier and said to Mu Qingli: "This is my personal soldier Fang Jixuan, what you said about Yantian, you can tell him to do it if you need to get it." ”
Mu Qingli nodded at Fang Jixuan, and did not respond politely.
Mu Qingli took Fang Jixuan along the lake, slowly inspecting and planning the layout of the salt field.
Fang Jixuan did not slack off because Mu Qingli had no military position, on the contrary, he admired Mu Qingli's ability to purify salt and solve the urgent need of the Zhendong Army, so he carefully wrote down the things that Mu Qingli commanded, and asked clearly if he didn't understand something, and at the end of the day, Fang Jixuan's admiration for Mu Qingli upgraded from admiration to worship!
Fang Jixuan said this, Mu Qingli said that he was very satisfied, but after half a day's effort, the planning of Yantian had been roughly completed!
At the beginning of the evening, the soldiers of the Zhendong Army finally ate a full meal, and the sluggish atmosphere of many days finally dissipated, and everyone's faces were full of joy.
And Mu Qingli is not so idle, she carefully recalled the steps of drying salt, and when the construction starts tomorrow, she has to be responsible for guiding the whole process.
Early the next morning, Mu Qingli and Fang Jixuan rushed to the lake with a group of mighty teams.
Mu Qingli first commanded everyone to dig many square shallow pools on the flat shore not far from the lake, and the bottom and surrounding areas should be patted tightly, and then paved with smooth stones. In the dug pond, part of it is poured directly into the salt lake water, while the other part is poured into the green salt block and salt lake water, which is mixed with the high-salt brine made by filtration. Next, you just need to wait for the brine in these salt ponds to evaporate and crystallize into salt in the sun.
Mu Qingli didn't have an accurate time for drying the salt pan, so she divided the salt pond into two parts for experiments to see how different salt water took time and how the salt effect was different.
It stands to reason that the excavation of the salt pond should be carried out quickly, but Mu Qingli has very high requirements for the compaction of the pool, and the stones must be closely fitted with each other, so at the end of the day, only ten salt ponds have been made. Mu Qingli said that he was very helpless, who made this era without cement.
For the next three days, Mu Qingli ran to the lake, correcting the details of the Yantian process, and occasionally went to the salt frying area to see how it was going.
Three days later, Mu Qingli's side no longer needed to follow up with Yantian, and Zhao Ziyi transferred her to Shi Nian, the commander of the reserve battalion, in the name of "auxiliary". But Mu Qingli knew in her heart that this was to see if she could still play her talents, hum.
What Mu Qingli didn't know was that Shi Nian was one of Zhao Ziyi's personal soldiers, and he was only transferred to this reserve camp a few years ago, and he held the lifeblood of the Zhendong Army, so whatever Mu Qingli did, he would be given to Zhao Ziyi as soon as possible.
