Twenty-seventh: Preparation for salt making

Zhang Wangsheng glanced at Zhang Luo.

He smiled again and said:

"It's not entirely hopeless."

"Is there a way?"

Zhang Luo's hope was rekindled.

"Unless Brother Zhang Luo can find that delicious refined salt."

"There is very little refined salt in our county."

"The rich merchants in the county like to eat this salt."

"The refined salt in the salt works is distributed by the government."

"There are very few that can be sold on their own."

Zhang Luo was silent for a while.

Before he goes to bed, he will dig out the knowledge in the "Ancient History" skill to read.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, since Xuande, the gap between the rich and the poor began to widen sharply.

In the Zhengde Jiajing period.

It's already the stage where the bones are present.

In this era, Zhang Luo felt the cruelty in the history books.

The people of Zhenhaiwei were anxious for more than 30 taels of silver.

The rich businessmen and grandfathers in the county.

is eating hundreds of dollars of refined salt.

"Refined salt, it's not impossible to get it."

Zhang Luo chuckled.

Before the crossing, Zhang Luo's teacher at the university did a salt-making experiment.

Zhang Luo knows how to make salt.

"It's just refined salt, it's not a big deal."

Zhang Luo patted his chest.

took Zhang Wangsheng back to Zhenhaiwei.

Zhang Luo also felt a little sleepy at the moment.

In my mind, I was thinking about starting to prepare for the production of refined salt.

Zhang Wangsheng yawned and returned to Baihu Mansion.

The little stunned man was unlucky, and happened to bump into Zhang Liansheng, who had just come out.

"You stinky boy, where did you run last night!"

Zhang Liansheng's eyebrows were raised, and he looked at Zhang Wangsheng with a compelling aura.

"Cousin, cousin, I had something to do last night."

"You listen to me lie to you, oh no, yes!"

A little stunned person who was oppressed by the aura.

immediately told my cousin about going to the ghost market with Zhang Luo last night.

"You want him to make refined salt?"

Fujian's health has a rule.

It was the merchants who gave food to the poor guards.

"Salt Introduction" can be obtained from the Guard.

Then the merchant took the salt and led it to the salt factory to buy salt.

You can sell salt as an official salt seller.

Zhenhaiwei has also issued salt quotations before.

Zhang Liansheng and his father went to the salt works in the county when they were children.

I've seen how difficult it is to make salt.

Put the seawater in the stuffy luri and stir it repeatedly.

Stir for several hours to brush out the crystals.

The crystalline salt that comes out should be rinsed with water.

Repeat the marinade.

In order to practice excellent refined salt without bitterness.

Fujian is a coastal province.

However, the annual output of refined salt is still insufficient.

The gentry officials of Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou.

You can eat seventy percent of the refined salt produced by all salt farms in Fujian.

The remaining thirty percent still have to pay tribute to Jingshi.

And the life of the salt works is poor.

Since the Tianshun period, there have been workers running away.

There was also a riot in the salt works of Fuzhou a few years ago.

Therefore, the price of refined salt is constantly rising.

If Zhang Luo can really make refined salt.

It is indeed a great thing for the benefit of the people.

Zhang Luo in the wing room did not start making salt immediately.

First, I slept all morning.

In the afternoon, I went to the fields to plow the crops.

Then go back to the kitchen for dinner.

And the only difference from before.

It was the last three days of the month when Ah Gong Zhang invited Zhang Luo.

Pull up the male on Zhenhaiwei and continue to practice the mandarin duck formation.

Zhang Luo's request was naturally difficult for Zhang Luo to refuse.

During this time, Zhang Luo asked Zhang Wangsheng to go to the stonemason's house.

Borrowed a set of slate tools.

Zhang Wangsheng was anxious in his heart.

This didn't dare to urge Zhang Luo too much.

It's a day in the middle of the month.

After Zhang Luo finished talking about today's three-character scripture.

Speaking to a few of his students:

"Say hello to your family today."

"Do something fun with me in the evening."

The little living treasures are divided into bright eyes.

looked at Zhang Luo with anticipation.

Zhang Luo said with a smile:

"Little living treasures, can you go and call some more friends?"

Zhang Wangsheng stood up and said:

"Brother Zhang Luo, how many people do you want?"

"The more the merrier."

"Okay, I'll gather people for Brother Zhang Luo."

Zhang Luo nodded in agreement, Zhang Wangsheng is Zhenhaiwei's little overlord.

By him to gather people, the people in the guard will definitely give face.

Before leaving, Zhang Luo reminded again:

"Remember to be bigger, don't make too much noise."

"Okay, Fang Xin!"

All afternoon, Zhang Wangsheng was moving quickly in the guard.

The people in Weili heard that Zhang Luo needed manpower.

Naturally, it is safe to let your children go out.

also told them to listen to Zhang Luo's words.

Before the sun goes down.

Zhang Wangsheng brought in more than a dozen older children.

Zhang Luo still has dinner.

Let the little stunned take the children to the wing room to rest first.

Waited until after the wee hours of the morning.

Zhang Luo asked the little stunned man to call them up.

With a group of people, they headed towards the sea.

"Brother Zhang Luo, the tide is very strong tonight, what are we going to the beach for now?"

Today is the fifteenth day, and it is also the time of high tide.

Many of the children in the Guardians know that tonight is the worst time of the tide.

Normally, the family would never let them come to the beach at this time.

Zhang Luo saw the raging waves.

Said to the children behind him:

"It's a big tide today, so be careful."

"When we get to the beach, everything will be at my command, understand?"

"Got it!"

These children deserve to come out of the guard.

The reaction was quite fast.

Zhang Luo pulled Zhang Wangsheng to him again.

He handed him a torch in his hand.

Let him lead the children behind him.

Wait until you are still a few hundred meters from the sea.

Zhang Luo stopped.

Feel the sound of the waves crashing against the scorched rocks.

Enjoy the charm of nature.

Zhang Luo still couldn't help but read out a magnificent poem.

"The sea and the sky are the same as the waves, and the storms and the tides rise."

What a masterpiece of nature!

Zhang Luo felt when he was in a trance.

The sea has gradually risen.

By the time the icy sea water reached Zhang Luo's feet.

Zhang Luo convulsed.

Speaking to the children:

"Let's play a little game today."

"We're going to dig a ditch in the tidal flats."

"When the water comes in, we'll plug it up."

"I'll show you first."

Zhang Luo used the farming tools he brought to dig a horizontal ditch in the sticky tidal flats.

When the sea came in, they put sand on him.

Immediately after that, another trench began to be dug.

The children who first arrived grew up by the sea.

Many of them have played this game.

After listening to Zhang Luo's explanation.

It didn't take long to understand.

This is all learned by Zhang Luo and began to dig a ditch.

A group of people worked all night on the tidal flats.

Wait until the sky is getting brighter and the tide is starting to recede.

The tidal flats have left a series of horizontal ditches with seawater.

A group of little guys yawned and looked at Zhang Luo.

Waiting for the next order from the chief.

Zhang Luo waved his hand.

Soft Voice:

"The children have worked hard, we will come back tomorrow!"

Zhang Wangsheng looked puzzled.

Is it possible to make salt by digging horizontal trenches in tidal flats?

However, Zhang Wangsheng also understands that the secret recipe for making salt cannot be easily revealed.

I can only endure my doubts and leave.
