Chapter 51: Then we'll make our own salt

"So Sun Ce just controlled the salt merchants, and then strangled our necks? So how can we talk about fighting in all directions? Chu Feng asked in a cold voice.

"Lord, this is helpless, there is too little salt in the Huairu area, they all rely on the East, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the snort of the people, and at the moment they can only stabilize the hearts of the people and ask for salt at the same time!"

Liu Ye also spoke.

"Lord, what Zi Yang said is right, we must stabilize the hearts of the people, contact salt dealers from all over the country, and let them smuggle over, as long as this time passes, Sun Ce will naturally give up."

Lu Su is also in the same sentence.

The blockade is naturally a good thing, but it is also normal for salt sellers to smuggle out, but it is difficult to satisfy everyone.

"Contact the salt sellers? Smuggling for satisfaction? Hmph, such a method of being choked by people does not cure the symptoms, is it like this time and again? What's more, how to ensure the success of smuggling? ”

"The smuggled sea salt is not only expensive, but also loses people, which is just an expedient measure!" Chu Feng waved his hand and did not agree with this approach.

"But my lord, there is no other way except this law at the moment!" Liu Ye sighed, a little anxious in his heart, it was really an eventful time,

Finally solved the famine and curbed the salt merchants, this Sun Ce really wanted to kill the people of Jiangbei!

"Then we'll make our own salt!"

Chu Feng said in a deep voice: "Didn't he, Sun Ce Chen Deng, curb the salt merchants? Then we will make our own, in the past sale, I want to see, who is better! ”

"Homemade?" The three of them looked at each other.

"Lord, our Shouchun is not close to the sea, and there is no lake well brine, how to make salt? If it were so easy to make salt, it wouldn't be as good as the salt and iron official camp! ”

Lu Su sighed, a little helpless.

Regional substances seldom make up for it, and there is nothing they can do about it.

Chu Feng pondered in his mind, he knew very well that table salt was very easy to refine, and it was almost necessary for historical novels in later generations, and it was also the kind of salt mine that could be found everywhere.

Including his previous novels, he also checked the corresponding information, but he didn't operate it manually after all, but mineral salt can indeed be processed into edible salt.

Or better refined salt!

No matter, try it and talk again.

"To refine table salt, it doesn't have to be sea salt, lake salt, and well salt." Chu Feng didn't have a beginning or an end, and the three people who listened looked at each other.

Could it be that there are other kinds of salt?

However, when they thought of some of Chu Feng's inventions, several people had some faint expectations, and hurriedly said, "Lord, I don't know what else can be used to refine salt?" ”

"You'll know when the time comes!"

"Xu Chu, Zhao Fan, don't be familiar with the camp yet, go out with me!" Chu Feng turned over and shouted.

Immediately, Lu Su, Zhao Fan and others followed behind one after another, and they were all curious about how Chu Feng made salt, if it could really be done, Chu Feng would be comparable to a sage.

Chu Feng was in front of him, and some time ago, he was approving documents, checking files, and flipping through records from all over the world, and he found a lot of salt pans.

That is, a field where nothing can be grown.

At that time, because the main thing was to stabilize the place and rectify military affairs, he only paid a little attention, and never thought that Sun Ce would actually curb his salt, which was really unknown.

About two quarters of an hour, Chu Feng stopped.

As far as the eye could see, the fields were dry and there were dead trees and grass everywhere, but Chu Feng's gaze was resting on a slightly raised salt pan.

There is no grass on the salt pans, and they are bare.

Chu Feng strode forward, and Lu Su and the others hurriedly followed.

Chu Feng used his sword to pry open a piece, it was indeed rock salt, which was the so-called mineral salt, and such a large salt field was estimated to be enough to eat for countless years.

He poked out his tongue and licked it lightly, bitter and salty, and he was sure of it.

Immediately smiled and said, "That's it!" ”

Behind him, the group was all slightly stunned, looking at Chu Feng in disbelief, Lu Su hurriedly said: "Lord, this is bitter salt and poisonous salt, and it is not edible." ”

"It's just that if you eat it by mistake, it will have diarrhea at least and even turn purple all over your body, and people will not dare to eat it until they have to, and they will die if they eat too much."

"Of course I'll die,"

"It's a stuff of ...... Rich...... Anyway, this thing is rich in some elements, and if you eat these elements without treatment, you will definitely have diarrhea, purple and even die! ”

Chu Feng coughed lightly and said directly.

To be honest, he doesn't know what this thing is rich in, who told him not to care about this thing, in short, if you eat too much, you will die, and people can't digest it,

Lu Su: "??? ”

Yan Xiang: "??? ”

Liu Ye: "??? ”

The three Wang Zuozhicai were all a little curious at the moment, could the poisonous salt really be eaten like coarse salt from the seawater? Curious and skeptical.

If it were true, there were many more exposed salt pans like this, wouldn't it......

"Lord, can you make it edible?"

Lu Su asked, and several other people also looked forward to it.

"It should ...... Probably can, right? ”

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows, although this thing is simple, but writing a novel is about book knowledge, and there is a high probability that there is a difference between theory and practice.

"Here, help dig up the salt blocks!"

Long

General's house, backyard.

Chu Feng and the others had already returned, and they also brought dozens of catties of mineral salt.

Xu Chu and Zhao Fan were in charge of crushing the mineral salt at the moment, Lu Su was in charge of finding the container requested by Chu Feng, Yan Xiang was in charge of finding charcoal, Liu Ye was looking for silk cloth, and so on.

After a long time, the mineral salt has been put into the container, and there is still water in it, but after the water touches these mineral salts, it directly dyes the water and immediately begins to boil.

Liu Ye, Lu Su and others watched from the side, they knew about this step of boiling salt, but other boiling salt would not add water to it.

For a long time, the mineral salt has been dissolved in water.

And the clear water has been boiled and has begun to churn.

"Xiao Huo, let this thing crystallize on the wall!" Chu Feng pinched his chin and commanded, the process of refining salt is very simple, crushing, distillation, crystallization, filtration, and recrystallization.

No way, if you know the principle, you can probably guess it, the main thing is to filter the impurities inside, and the general process Chu Feng himself has written, which can be regarded as knowing.

After a while, a large number of crystals appeared around the container, which was obviously recrystallized salt, but this step was only to extract the salt in the mineral salt.

After a while, a small bowl of salt was cut out, and Lu Su asked eagerly, "Lord, what then?" ”

"Pour that clear water, dissolve it and pour it here!" Chu Feng said commandingly.

The salt dissolved with the water again, and then, Lu Su took the basin of water and poured it into the container made by Chu Feng, there was a piece of silk cloth in the middle of the container, wrapped in four layers, and inside was charcoal.

It didn't take long for a basin of salt water to be filtered.

At this moment, the color of the filtered salt water changed from the initial turbidity to quite clear, Chu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Pour out this water and filter it again!" ”

"Hmm!"

Over and over again, filtered three times.

At this moment, the water inside the container is already clear and immaculate, and it is obvious that all the impurities have been filtered out.

"Alright, you can heat the crystallization!"
