It's just that Qian Junbao thought that if these two things were made by Ye Qing, it would not be so easy to spread out and sell them in Daewoo.

Once Ye Qing makes a huge profit from these two things, I am afraid that the Qian family alone will not be able to withstand those who covet it.

The status of Moze and the Fifth Moze can be used, but there is no excuse.

Involving them, Ye Qing would definitely be puzzled.

Although his master's name can be used, the deterrent effect is not strong enough, and the face of the fifth Mo Che is only useful in the capital, and it is not easy to explain to Ye Qing if he is involved.

At the moment, only the Ghostface General can intimidate some people.

But Ye Qing was a little suspicious of the identity of the ghost-faced general, and it wouldn't work here.

It seemed that he had only found one more person, and he suddenly remembered that the prince of Jin and Xiao Yuyan who was with him.

It should work if one of the two of them chooses to be the backer behind this business.

Just say that it is the person who was saved by your master.

The two quickly got into the carriage and walked towards Nanfang City.

The raw materials that Ye Qing was going to buy this time were lime and porcelain bottles.

In the 17th century, the ancients knew the use of soda ash in the production of glass, paper, soap, etc., but the alkali was extracted from plant ash and salt lake water.

As far as she knew, no one in this world knew how to refine soda ash.

And if you rely solely on plant ash, the amount required is too large, and there is no salt lake in the Jianzhou area.

The "Hou's alkali method" in later generations also needed to use salt, and the price of salt was valuable in ancient times.

Chongyang Town is also not close to the sea, and she cannot use seawater to refine industrial salt.

It seems that you can only use a stupid method, so let's use plant ash to refine it first.

Ye Qing quickly thought that the ash from the bamboo burn could be refined into soda ash, and there were too many bamboos on the mountain in Chongyang.

You can also grow a large amount of bamboo in your own space, but there is no salt to refine it conveniently and quickly.

It is illegal to boil salt without permission.

If you want to make salt, you have to get salt from the government.

Ye Qing quickly thought that if someone had this thing, it was Bai Lichu.

I heard that the reason why salt in Jianzhou is cheap is that he invented a way to filter sea salt.

Seeing Ye Qing's distraction, Qian Junbao pinched her fingers and asked, "Lady, what are you thinking?" ”

"Junbao, can you contact that Bai Lichu?"

When Qian Junbao heard her ask, he said suspiciously, "What are you going to do with him?" ”

"I've heard that he has salt on his hands, and I want to work with him."

"You want to be a salt merchant?" Qian Junbao suppressed his curiosity and asked.

"Can I be a salt merchant too?" Ye Qing was stunned, to say that in the most profitable industry in the world, there must be a place for salt.

"No, you can't." Qian Junbao shook his head and asked again with a serious expression: "What do you want to do with him?" ”

"I need a lot of salt, Bai Lichu has salt in his hand, and he should be able to provide a lot of salt to sell to me. Or I work with him to refine salt. ”

Qian Junbao heard that Ye Qing just wanted to buy a large amount of salt, and his mood calmed down strangely, and he said: "Since you can also refine salt, then I can help you and the government apply for a salt guide, but ninety percent of the salt you refine will be handed over to the government, and the remaining one percent can only be used by yourself, not sold." ”

Ye Qing's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Can it still be like this?" That would be great. ”

"Well, but I have to wait for half a month, and this salt introduction will be sent from the capital."

At this time, Ye Qing suddenly had a thought, "Can I ask, can't that Bai Lichu sell salt by himself?" I'm just curious, the 10% of salt he left behind can't be taken out and sold, so what is he going to do? ”

"He found a way to turn seawater salt into edible salt, and reported this method directly to the imperial court, and the saint rewarded him with an eighth-level civil lord, as well as a salt guide. He was allowed to make a percentage of the salt that he made and could directly resell it to the government, but there was a certain amount, and he could only hand over the excess amount to the imperial court. But even so, he can make a profit of 10,000 taels of silver every year. ”

When Ye Qing heard this, he pursed his lips, thinking that he had really picked up a big bargain, and it was not difficult to filter seawater to make edible salt.

However, he is an ancient, and it is still very powerful to have this kind of merit that benefits the people of the whole world.

"Junbao, I have another question I want to ask, how much silver can a bottle of rose water sell?"

"The value of rose water is equal to gold, and a pound of rose water can be sold for a pound of gold."

Ye Qing swallowed his saliva and sat up on his knees.

So expensive!

It's just wonderful.

The braid of a rose ranges from more than 20 grams to 40 grams, and the rose as a cut flower can pick 8,000 to 10,000 flowers per mu every year.

A ton of fresh roses can make 200 grams of essential oil.

Rose essential oil is the most expensive essential oil in the world and is known as the "Essential Oil After".

It can regulate women's endocrine, nourish the uterus, relieve dysmenorrhea, and improve frigidity and menopausal discomfort.

And two drops of rose essential oil (20 small drops for one gram) plus other things can make a kilogram of rose perfume,

I let people plant 100 acres of roses, plus the space production, and the flowers in the wild that I picked in the flower season, so if I convert it, the profit margin is still very large.

There are several ways to make essential oils and perfumes, the simplest of which is the steam steaming method.

The steam-slip method was one of the earliest refining methods, and the equipment used has improved significantly over the years, but the principle is basically the same: the aromatic plants are placed in a distillation vessel, and then the hot steam is passed into it (or the spices are boiled together with water).

At this time, the essential oils containing aromatic components in the plant will diffuse into the water vapor, forming an azeotrope of oil and water; The azeotrope is then cooled, and since the oil is insoluble in water, it separates from the water to form the essential oil we need.

Distillation is very convenient and does not require the use of chemical solvents, so it can be done in ancient times.

Roses, lavender, rosemary, geraniums, etc., mostly use this method.

There is also an ancient method of incense suction, which is also the most expensive method of refining due to the amount of manpower and time required.

The principle is to use the physical properties of oils and fats to adsorb oils to refine aromatic essential oils. The fats used are specially treated to prevent spoilage and odor. The incense method uses cold fats, which are generally made of lard and butter.

The process usually takes three months, and then it is treated with alcohol and stirred, leaving behind the aromatic essential oils.

This method, Ye Qing does not plan to use.

As for the dissolution method, electrolysis is needed, and she can't use it for the time being, and then consider it when there is power equipment in the future, because this method saves money and time.
