Despite Lu An's mystery, Fu Tianqi and Cheng Xuefeng still strictly followed his requirements and ordered his brothers to act immediately.

In the cave, Lu An kept adding the bags of ground charcoal powder that had been brought in to the boiled shore salt solution, over and over again.

It was not until the solution became completely clear, like clear water, that someone pushed it out and continued to boil.

At the same time, the charcoal used for burning the solution is ground again and pushed to the mouth of the cave, and so on.

In the evening of the same day, Fu Tianqi and Cheng Xuefeng were alarmed by a burst of exclamations, and rushed to the vicinity of the cave.

"General Fu, General Cheng, look!"

Several soldiers who were boiling the solution gathered around the two and rushed to a cauldron.

I saw that the solution in the pot had been boiled dry, revealing the snow-white substance inside.

"This ......"

Lu An smiled and took out a small piece of crystal with a spoon, put it on the board, smashed it with a knife, and dipped a little bit with his little finger and put it on the tip of his tongue.

"Well, yes, that's it."

"Brother Luan, this is ......"

"Hehe, Brother Fu, will you try it too?"

Fu Tianqi nodded, followed Lu An's example, carefully dipped a little salt and put it on the tip of his tongue, and then his eyes widened!

"Salt!"

"It's salt!"

"Oh my God! It's the first time in my life that I've eaten such pure salt! ”

Seeing Fu Tianqi's excited appearance, Cheng Xuefeng and some soldiers around him stepped forward one after another, following suit.

"Really!"

"This salt has no bitter taste at all, is this the snowflake salt that the emperor ate?"

"Great! We will be able to eat the same snowflake salt as the emperor in the future! ”

"This is the snowflake salt made by Mr. Lu himself!"

"Yes, in the future, not only will we be able to eat such snowflake salt ourselves, but we can even sell it to make money!"

"That's right! The coarse salt on the market is almost two taels of silver a catty, and this snowflake salt must be sold for at least four or five taels of one catty, right? ”

"Four, five, two? Think beautifully! If it's really that cheap, wouldn't those rich merchants be able to eat snowflake salt every day? ”

"This snowflake salt is priceless at all! Perhaps, even the people in the palace can't eat such pure snowflake salt! ”

In the valley, everyone was boiling.

These people have never eaten such crystal clear snowflake salt, and while they are happy, they have begun to imagine the future.

Seeing this, Lu An was also infected by the smiles on everyone's faces.

"Brother Luan!"

Fu Tianqi and Cheng Xuefeng hugged Lu An's shoulders excitedly, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and soon their eyes were wet.

"It's not early, let's take a walk, let's drink!"

Cheng Xuefeng hugged Lu An directly, and Fu Tianqi turned around and left.

In the room, Fu Tianqi calmed down, and then solemnly raised his glass, "Brother Lu An, please accept me and Xuefeng!" ”

After that, the two respectfully stood up and toasted together, giving a deep salute.

Lu An hurriedly got up and supported the two, "Brother Fu, Brother Cheng, what are you doing here?" Between brothers, why bother? ”

Fu Tianqi shook his head and said solemnly, "No! Brother Lu An, before this, our brothers respected you because of the relationship you had established with us on the way to the north, and also because of General Lei and your personal relationship.

But this time, it's our brother who wants to make friends with you from the bottom of his heart! ”

"Yes, Brother Lu'an." Cheng Xuefeng sighed with emotion, "Because our brothers can't bear to be the enemy of General Lei, and they don't dare to go back to Beijing easily to affect their families, they are living like mountain bandits.

But our brothers also want to live a good life, and they want to live a good life with our brothers who were born and died with us!

Today, we have all seen the snowflake salt that you took your brother and brother to refine.

From now on, our brethren will follow you!

After a while, the two giant merchants in the Western Regions will come back, and we will organize a caravan to escort them and go to the Western Regions together to help you sell salt! ”

"The two big brothers have really decided?" Lu An confirmed again.

"Of course!" The two spoke in unison.

Lu An sat down with a smile.

"Two big brothers, please be seated."

After the three of them sat down, Lu An continued to smile and said, "Caravan guards are definitely needed, after all, there are too many dangers on the trade route to the Western Regions.

However, just like that, the brothers earn too little! ”

As soon as Fu Tianqi and Cheng Xuefeng heard this, they leaned down at the same time, and the corners of their mouths moved, "Brother Lu An, what ......do you mean?"

"I'm going to use your place as a place to refine snowflake salt!"

Lu An said solemnly, "The terrain of this valley is secret, and the place is big enough, the key is that all the brothers are good brothers who were born and died with Brother Lei, and they are worthy of trust!" ”

"In the future, on the one hand, our people will serve as caravan guards to open up the trade routes between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and on the other hand, we will continue to transport rock salt from the Western Regions, and after sending it here, it will be processed on the spot."

"After making snowflake salt, sell it to the Central Plains and the Western Regions!"

After Lu An finished speaking, the room was quiet.

Lu An was not in a hurry, and after a while, Fu Tianqi asked tentatively, "Brother Lu An, you, are you really willing to take us with you?" ”

The reason why I asked this is because Lu An's proposal just now is no longer to treat them as future caravan guards, but equivalent to common prosperity!

This is a pie that has fallen from the world!

Originally, they planned to settle grass in the area of Baishi Mountain, occasionally rob houses and houses, and barely survive.

But now, Lu An has painted a different blueprint for them!

Lu An nodded, "The two eldest brothers still remember the story that Lu told you on the way to the north, right?" ”

The two of them said in a deep voice at the same time, "I still remember it! ”

At that time, in order to inspire the morale of the army, Lu An told these soldiers the concept of later generations, which also ignited the blood in their hearts.

As for being caught by the second prince and his family, he was unexpected.

But that story is still in their memory!

"The reason why Lu told that story at the beginning was to admire Brother Lei and you soldiers for their strength to shed their blood for the country and the family!"

"Lu admires you and is willing to make friends with you sincerely."

"As for money, it's just something outside of the body."

"The most important thing is that our brothers get rich together and live a good life!"

"Good!" Fu Cheng and the others were enthusiastic when they heard this, "From now on, you will be our boss!"

Brothers, just listen to your command.

We have manpower, and we can go to the Western Regions to transport rock salt at any time, and my brother just needs to stay here to make salt. ”

Lu An shook his head, "No, I have other things, salt making, and the two eldest brothers will find some suitable brothers for me later, and I will personally teach them to make salt." ”

"What?" After Lu An said this, the two of them were shocked again.

The method of refining snowflake salt from rock salt is so easy to hand over to outsiders?

How could Lu An not see the doubts between the two, and smiled indifferently, "Between brothers, trust is valuable.

After all, we still have more days to make money in the future, so what is the point of making salt? ”

In fact, there is no hassle in refining snowflake salt from rock salt.

He had already thought of this business when he had extracted the steaming water from the Prison Lanhai before.

There is a large amount of rock salt in the prison Lanhai, which is simply a profitable business, even if he only runs this business, it is enough to make a lot of money.

But, as he said, salt making is just a small road!

"Two big brothers, now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, we, the small people, have no ability to change the general trend of the world, as long as we live our own small lives."

"Lu has no other ability, it is not difficult to make money with everyone, as long as the brothers have no objections, they will start to allocate manpower tomorrow and officially start work!"
