Chapter 31 The people of the East China Sea are all living thunder peaks

It is very difficult for the human beings in this world to understand that the modern economy is a very difficult thing, and Sun Dakong decided to simplify the complexity and use examples to make the two fools understand.

Salt has never been a precious thing, and in later generations two dollars a bag of things could be considered expensive, but in this day and age it is a great thing, more expensive than gold.

Since learning how precious the salt of this world is, Sun Dakong has wandered around Huaguo Mountain when he has nothing to do. This is the world of Journey to the West, the heaven and the earth are full of spiritual energy, and the rats can become essences, will there be a lack of rock salt? If you want to find this kind of thing, you must go to the mountain wall by the water to find it.

There is actually a lot of rock salt in Huaguo Mountain, but it contains a lot of iron, nitrate and potassium before refining, iron is okay, human beings need this element, nitrate and potassium must be filtered out, otherwise it can poison people, but in Sun Dakong's view, this is a treasure.

The rock salt prepared in advance was stacked against the wall of the wooden house, and Sun Dakong could crush this thing with his bare hands without using a hammer, and the effect of pinching it was even finer than grinding it with a stone mill.

The crushed salt rock and water are poured into a large clay urn and stirred thoroughly with a wooden stick, and then the brine is poured into another clay urn sealed with four or five layers of linen.

With such a simple filter, the linen cloth has turned into a terrible gray-brown color, Tai Zhou and Mu Xijing's eyes widened when they saw it, it turned out that the worthless linen cloth could still be used like this?

This kind of filtration needs to go through five or six times, and the consumption is nothing more than cheap linen, and the refining process is even more simple than unimaginable.

But the human beings of this world, just like the people of the ancient earth, did not refine this concept at all. They could only rely on a small number of salt wells to produce salt, and this kind of salt that was automatically filtered through the earth was very unsafe, and the output was outrageously small, and the price of salt was not more expensive than gold? Even the best salt wells produced green salt was 108,000 miles worse than the snowflake salt refined by Sun Dakong.

When Sun Dakong poured the filtered salt water into the washed cauldron and began to boil over the fire, no matter how stupid the person was, he understood what was going on. What's more, Tai Zhou and Mu Xijing are not stupid people, can stupid people become the best hunters?

The two guys excitedly watched the salt water gradually boil dry, and finally after a layer of snowflake salt as white as frost and snow appeared on the wall of the pot, they immediately jumped and screamed happily, and finally simply hugged each other and let out a wolf-like howl. Hou Xiaohua hid behind Sun Dakong a little nervously, feeling that these two people were completely crazy.

"Do you understand now? Salt is more expensive than gold because the quantity is too small, and you don't have a few salt wells in the entire Aolai country, which is why the price of salt remains high. But that's it, the best green salt should also be eaten by those dignitaries, and you can only exchange the precious tiger skin for inferior poisonous salt!

It only takes a simple refining process to turn rock salt, which is considered 'waste', into the best alabaster salt. You are very poor, but no matter how poor you are, a dozen villages can make up some worthless linen and pottery urns, right?

This craft of refining snowflake salt is very valuable, but it is nothing in the eyes of this king, I give this craft to you, and I will know what to do in the future?"

Sun Dakong looked at Tai Zhou and Mu Xijing with a smile, what he needed in this world was not wealth in the world, but incense offerings.

For the sake of Huaguoshan and his own future, the development of the brain domain cannot be stopped, God knows that if he doesn't go to the Bodhi Patriarch, the Western Church will not take the initiative to come to the door?

Originally, it would be easier to find a merchant to do this kind of thing, but Sun Dakong still prefers these simple hunters, and is more willing to give the benefits to the bitter haha in the villages near Huaguo Mountain.

These bitter talents are the most simple and affectionate, and they have the benefits of the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, and they will take the initiative to build the statue of the Monkey King without being reminded in the future, and worship them with incense every day.

Tai Zhou and Mu Xijing were completely enlightened, and Tai Zhou said happily: "We have seen the rock salt that the king said, but if you eat it, you will die immediately, and no one has thought that you can refine snowflake salt." Thank you so much, the king, we have people, and there is no shortage of linen and wooden barrels, which can be refined in large quantities of snowflake salt. The king was right, this thing could be exchanged for countless grains, silks, and horses......"

Mu Xijing said: "There is also a beautiful little daughter-in-law......

This guy didn't look at the environment when he spoke, Hou Xiaohua blushed when he listened, and Tai Zhou glared at him fiercely: "I'm afraid that this snow disaster is that Huaguo Mountain is also short of fruit and grain, right? ”

"Well, aren't you very smart?" Sun Dakong nodded slightly, the human beings in this world are actually not stupid at all, they only need a little mention from the masters, and they can immediately figure out everything, Tai Zhou, this guy has become much more clever now.

"In the future, when we have money, we will go to the capital to buy a house and let the old mother live a good life!"

Once the train of thought was opened, Mu Xijing, who was like a goose before, also began to let go of himself: "I still have to marry several daughters-in-law......

"Mu Xijing, if you think like this, disaster is not far away from you. ”

Sun Dakong smiled: "Wealth is the best thing, but also the worst thing. Because it can bring everything you need and it can also bring you boundless disasters.

Why don't you think about what you will do with the officials and businessmen who make their fortune from the salt wells after the advent of snowflake salt? They will try to take away the refining method of snowflake salt, and even want to kill you. ”

Mu Xijing glared: "I'm afraid of them?

"Who can you fight? You are the best hunters, all good men, sharpshooters, but what if you face thousands of troops? What if the king of Aolai asks you to hand over the method of refining snowflake salt?"

Mu Xijing was stunned: "I ......"

Tai Zhou looked at Sun Dakong, and suddenly bowed down and bowed: "Please teach us, the king." ”

"Remember the king's words, don't be too greedy, for excessive greed will harm you. ”

Sun Dakong said: "After the advent of snowflake salt, you will gain great wealth in a short time, remember my words, bury all the gold and silver you can collect in the ground, bury as deep as possible, and the less people know about it, the better." When the government and the salt merchants react and want to ask you for the formula, you do so.

Tell me at once the method of refining snowflake salt should be known to everyone, so that everyone can learn it, so that the common people will not have to be exploited by those salt merchants, and you will not be in any danger. ”

Mu Xijing frowned and said, "But didn't we suffer a loss? This is a way to make money, just tell others for nothing?"

"Mu Xijing, why are you so greedy!"

Tai Zhou said angrily: "The king can tell us this method in vain, why can't we tell the people? Not to mention that at that time we have already made a lot of money relying on this method, what is there not to be satisfied with?"

Sun Dakong nodded and said, "This king told you this method, which was originally intended to help the people of the whole world through your mouth. But I have some fate with you, so let you get some benefits first, Mu Xijing, if you are too greedy, this king will be disappointed. ”

Mu Xijing's face was full of shame: "King, I was wrong. ”

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, where are people who are not greedy, but there must be a limit to greed.

You also have to remember that in order to prevent the salt merchants and the government from venting their anger at you, you need to tell everyone who learns this method that this is a method handed down by the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, and that you are just a middleman. In this way, there will naturally be a lot less danger.

In addition, in order to prevent some naturally vicious people from harming you, this king will ask a god to secretly protect you and your village, and she will be foolproof. ”

Immortals, Tai Zhou and Mu Xijing Daqi.

Sun Dakong raised his head and smiled: "Ao Ying, how long do you have to eavesdrop?" Do you remember that I told you the story of Uncle Lei Feng's good deeds without leaving a name, are you interested in being a female Lei Feng?"

"Hmph, stone monkey, you are so powerful now, you can actually see through the invisibility method of this princess?"

I only heard a little girl's voice sounding outside the wooden house: "I am a little green dragon, little green dragon, I have a little secret ......"
