"This ...... That's impossible?! ”

Wang Yun reacted and shook his head resolutely.

The salt cube on the left is from the toxic salt mines.

The salt collected in it is not edible at all.

Once consumed, it will vomit and diarrhea, and kill at worst.

The refined salt on the right is as white as snowflakes and is full of fine sand-like particles.

It is several grades higher than the refined salt refined in the salt farms in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

How could this be made from a block of poisonous salt?

"yes, it can't be!"

Li Ru, Jia Xu and others didn't believe it and shook their heads one after another.

"You people, you just have a small vision."

Hua Xiong shook his head and smiled, and then ordered,

"Jiang Yin, you come to show it again, so that you can open your eyes."

"Yes, sir!"

Jiang Jian received the order, commanded several soldiers, and began to busily refine salt.

Wang Yun, Li Ru, Jia Xu, Cai Yong and other ministers with distinguished status were all gathered around a cauldron at the moment, watching Jiang Jian operate.

The so-called poisonous salt is actually because it is adulterated with a lot of impurities.

These impurities are very harmful to the human body, and the ancients did not know how to remove them.

But Hua Xiong is different, he is a good young man in the 21st century.

I have studied the basic physics class.

He handed over all the refining methods to Jiang Yin.

I saw that Jiang Jian first used a grinding disc to grind the pile of poisonous salt into powder.

Then, a fine sieve is used to remove all the impurities in the larger pieces.

Then he found a large wooden barrel filled with water, and mixed all the remaining poisonous salt with the water.

The ministers watched Jiang Jian intently, for fear of missing any detail.

Jiang Jian took the charcoal powder prepared in advance from the side and wrapped it tightly with several layers of linen.

Then he covered the barrel firmly with a burlap cloth stuffed with charcoal.

The barrel is upside down, and in a short time the liquid slowly flows out.

Compared to the previous one, the liquid was much clearer, almost transparent.

Several soldiers set up a cauldron, poured the collected liquid into the pot, and began to cook.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Wait until the water in the pot is dry, and only a white transparent solid remains.

Jiang Jian took out all these things and crushed them into powder, which turned them into snow-white refined salt.

Wang Yun and the others were all stunned.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that a poisonous salt block could be turned into fine refined salt in just a few steps!

"This way...... Who invented it? ”

Jia Xu asked Jiang Jian eagerly.

"Lord Hui, it was the Taishi who invented it."

Jiang Jian replied honestly.

As soon as they heard this, everyone looked at Hua Xiong's gaze, full of weirdness.

Please, be a man!

The martial arts are so superb, he is good at training, his calligraphy is a top master, and he can even refine the best fine salt.

You...... You're a youkai, right?

Everyone is very skeptical that there is anything in the world that Hua Xiong will not know.

"The lord's intelligence is shocking and weeping ghosts and gods, we are really inferior."

Li Ru sighed.

Gotcha, this old boy, he's slapping me on the back again.

Wang Yun's face turned pale and asked solemnly,

"Taishi, who knows this method of refining refined salt?"

"Don't worry about this, except for me and Jiang Yin, as well as these soldiers, no one else knows."

Historically, Ma Chao raised troops to attack Cao Cao, and other counties in Liangzhou chose to surrender.

Only Jiang Jian guarded Ji County, and would rather die than obey.

In the end, the city of Ji County was broken, and after Jiang Jian was broken alone, he died in battle.

Hua Xiong took a fancy to Jiang Yin's loyal character, so he brought him in and was responsible for refining refined salt.

"That's all right. The method of refining refined salt cannot be spread. ”

Wang Yun said solemnly.

"Wang Situ, now that you have refined salt, do you have any good ideas?" Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

"Of course, this refined salt is sold at a high price."

Wang Yun said strangely.

In ancient times, salt was expensive, and the best salt refined in the salt farms in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places cost 500 wen a catty.

The refined salt refined by Huaxiong is only afraid that the price will be higher.

"That's not right, I don't think we can sell salt at a high price."

Hua Xiong shook his head.

Wang Yun and the others were stunned for a moment.

Such a good refined salt is not sold at a high price, is it possible to sell it at a low price?

"You think, if we sell it at a high price, I'm afraid that ordinary people can't afford it, and then the refined salt won't be able to circulate. It did not help the finances of the imperial court in the slightest. ”

The ministers bowed slightly, feeling that what Hua Xiong said made sense.

"Our method of refining refined salt saves time and effort, and the quality of salt refined in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places is even better."

"If we sell it at a low price, the people will definitely choose our salt, and they will be grateful."

"First, we can solve the financial problem, and second, we can gain the hearts and minds of the people."

Hua Xiong's words instantly made all the ministers present nod their heads.

"It's worthy of being a master, and it's really thoughtful."

"Hey, our vision is really far behind compared to the Taishi."

Hua Xiong smiled.

"If the ministers don't have any opinions, then do it."

After some deliberations, Huaxiong decided to set up a salt administration to be responsible for the refining and sale of salt.

Salt politics are all profiteering, if you don't find a loyal person to be responsible, I am afraid that private salt will run rampant.

Therefore, the post of director is naturally held by the loyal Jiang Yin.

After the matter of the Salt Administration was decided, everyone began to discuss it again.

"Taishi, although the prospects for refined salt are considerable, if you want to make money, it will take three or five months for it to take effect. Now that the finances are tight, what should we do? ”

Wang Yun asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the salt administration to be effective in the short term."

The other ministers nodded in agreement.

"I know this, so I still have a second hand."

Hua Xiong smiled mysteriously, and took out the paper from his sleeve again, on which a few lines of words were densely written.

Wang Yun and the others took it and took turns to look at it, and their faces became strange.

"Ministers, what do you think of my approach?"

Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but you don't speak.

According to the method written on paper, it is indeed possible to solve the financial difficulties.

But if you follow the method on paper, you are afraid that you will be laughed at.

The first law listed by Hua Xiong was to allow the legalization of brothel casinos in Qinglou.

During the Three Kingdoms period, most of the Qinglou were official prostitutes and were not allowed to be opened to private individuals.

For example, if a minister breaks the law and is raided by the emperor, his female dependents will be assigned to official prostitutes.

But official prostitutes are expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to go.

So there are many people in private who secretly open a brothel in Qinglou.

Not to mention, business is extremely hot.

But these brothels are not legal after all, and the court turns a blind eye on weekdays, if you really want to raid them, it is a matter of minutes.
