Making money by making and selling salt is a necessary skill for every traverser.

Yang Zhao didn't expect that he would also have the opportunity to meet Yanshan, and then he could follow the old routine of other traversers, make salt and sell salt in Liangxiang, accumulate wealth and heritage, and facilitate doing great things in the future.

When he came to the mountain, he found a few stones, smashed them, and could see some white crystals, which were salt, but they had not been filtered, purified, etc., and the salt was of course poisonous, and eating it would be bad for the body.

"County Commander, what are we going to do in Poison Salt Mountain?"

Fang Rui asked suspiciously.

Yang Zhao looked back at him and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I can trust you?" ”

This is a big plan to make a fortune, even if you leave the good country, with the help of salt, you can bring yourself a steady stream of income.

People are greedy for profit, and if there are enough benefits, a person can do anything, even by unscrupulous means.

Yang Zhao wants to make salt, relying on his own strength, it is difficult to produce a large amount of salt, he must be assisted by Fang Rui and them, so whether Fang Rui can be completely trusted, he can't guarantee it now.

"The subordinates can definitely trust and will never betray the county magistrate."

Fang Rui patted his chest and promised, "If the county magistrate doesn't believe it, he can kill me at any time!" ”

Yang Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Of course I trust you, and then you help me find ten soldiers who can make you completely and completely trust, and move a hundred or dozens of catties of stones back to me here, there is still an important task for you to complete." ”

Fang Rui's tense nerves relaxed: "Thank you for the trust of the county magistrate!" ”

Then he immediately ran back to make arrangements.

Yang Zhao came down from the mountain, went to say hello to Liu Bei again, and then returned to the city, and he didn't plan to take Liu Bei to play with him when it came to making salt.

"What are you going to do, junior brother?"

Liu Bei was puzzled.

Looking at the field in front of him that was about to be cultivated, he didn't bother to think too much, urging the soldiers to speed up, complete the cultivation as soon as possible at the most suitable time, and wait for a bumper harvest in the second half of the year.

Back inside the city.

Yang Zhao found a few craftsmen and helped him create a batch of things for filtration.

Of course, the craftsman knew Yang Zhao, he worked very hard, and the filtering tools were not complicated, and it took two hours to finish the things and send them to the government office, and it happened that Fang Rui and they came back with more than 100 catties of stones.

"Come and work!"

Yang Zhao was not idle, leading them to make salt.

Fang Rui was puzzled and asked, "County Commander, what can you do with these stones?" ”

"As long as you do what I say, stones can be turned into money!"

"Turning into money?"

Fang Rui still couldn't understand it.

But just execute the command.

This is the government office, an independent courtyard, Yang Zhao occupied it, as a temporary residence, under normal circumstances, other people will not come in casually, can effectively prevent the possibility of being stolen.

They work in the small courtyard and go through various processes to filter and purify.

A large basin of salty salt water finally appeared in front of me.

"Set up a pot and cook it for me!"

In the previous high school chemistry class, Yang Zhao was quite serious, and he personally operated the experiment of salt purification, and he still has an impression.

The steps of boiling salt are relatively simple.

Let people pay attention to the fire, and also let people stir the salt water in the pot at the right time, and wait until the water is boiled dry, and the salt can be precipitated.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Liu Bei had just come back, and when he heard all kinds of movements coming from the small courtyard here, he couldn't help but be curious to come over and take a look.

Yang Zhao stood in front of him and said, "Senior brother, this is my private place, without my orders, don't come here casually in the future, no, I will make a door tomorrow and lock it completely." ”

The more he said this, the more Liu Bei was puzzled, and the more he wanted to know the secrets inside.

The junior brother must be tossing something good.

"Our senior brother has a fight, what secrets does my junior brother have that I can't know?"

Liu Bei still has to go in.

Yang Zhao was not polite to him, and continued to stop at the gate and said: "Please don't embarrass me, senior brother, this is my secret that cannot be passed on, you can go back!" ”

"Not really!"

"No way!"

"Alright then!"

Liu Bei saw that he was resolute and not easy to offend, so he could only leave, but he was unwilling and kept staring in this direction.

Before you know it, it's late at night.

"What the hell is the junior brother doing?"

Liu Bei thought about this and had insomnia.

Zhang Fei said: "Why don't I help my eldest brother break in and have a look?" ”

Guan Yu immediately interrupted: "Third brother, don't be reckless, the strength of the county magistrate is not weak, and he is still in the same door as the eldest brother, and he is deeply valued by Mrs. Lu, if you offend him, the future of the eldest brother is hopeless." ”

"It's still Yun Chang who understands me!"

Liu Bei nodded slightly, and was really curious: "We won't do anything tomorrow, just see what the junior brother can bring out from the yard." ”

Zhang Fei said: "I'll help my eldest brother keep an eye on it!" ”

Meanwhile.

"County magistrate, it's boiled!"

Fang Rui hurriedly ran into the house and woke up Yang Zhao, who was dozing off.

"Salt ready?"

Yang Zhao hurriedly went to the courtyard to take a look.

Inside the cauldron, there are a lot of salt crystals.

This color is a little different from the common one in later generations, slightly yellowish, but compared with this era, the coarse salt full of impurities is more than a hundred times better, and the most important thing is that the cost is not high, and the quality is good.

"Yes, it's delicious!"

Yang Zhao twisted some and tasted the taste.

Fang Rui also tasted a little, and said in surprise: "County magistrate, is this really salt?" ”

They have lived for so many years, and they have never seen salt of such good quality.

The price of coarse salt is already extremely high.

Wouldn't it be more profitable if these fine salts were sold for sale?

Stones can really be turned into money!

Even if they are born in a rural country and don't have much business experience, they can think of this instantly!

"But the salt of the Poison Salt Mountain can really be eaten?"

Fang Rui was worried again.

Yang Zhao pondered and said: "There is still a piece of meat in the back kitchen, while there is still a fire in the stove, make a pot of broth to test the poison." ”

Their movements were fast, and half an hour later, a steaming, fragrant broth appeared in front of them.

Yang Zhao first drank a bowl as a demonstration.

Fang Rui and the others also drank some soup and ate some meat, and waited for almost an hour.

There was nothing going on with him.

The umami of the broth just now is more delicious than what I have eaten before.

The things made with this salt are more delicious than the previous coarse salt, and there is no strange taste, which is simply a money-making artifact!

"I trust you, so I will teach you how to make salt."

"You have to remember that you must not tell anyone else, and if I find out about a technology breach, the consequences will be serious."

"Got it?"

Yang Zhao finally admonished.

"Got it!"

They are all smart people, and they are also ordinary people, they have no background and no status, only by hugging Yang Zhao's thighs can they make money and be profitable, if they take away the salt making technology and leak it out, they will be swallowed by others and there will be no bones left.
