Chapter 623: Making a Salt Maker and Suppressing the Price of Salt

At one o'clock in the morning on May 16, 1174, Yan Tielong rented the only blacksmith shop in Liushuiyu Village to make salt-making utensils.

Of course, in order to keep it secret, Yan Tielong's blacksmith shop is now surrounded by Flame Legion soldiers on three floors, except for his fiancée, no one knows what Yan Tielong is doing.

Because Yan Tielong had not been in contact with ironsmithing for a long time, his blacksmith level had declined somewhat, which also caused him to scrap several precision parts with the help of spiritual power and magic.

Until eight o'clock in the morning, Yan Tielong looked at the only salt maker in front of him with dark circles under his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "It seems that you must often strike iron in the future, otherwise this craft will be wasted." ”。

At the door of the blacksmith shop, Arya had been patiently waiting for her fiancé to come out, and when the door opened, she was a little distressed when she saw Yan Tielong's dark circles and said, "Dragon, hard work!"

When Yan Tielong saw his fiancée's hand reaching out to his face, he turned his head and said, "Arya, my face is covered with gray carbon now, if I stain your hands, it won't be good!"

Arya was very happy to hear her fiancé's words for her sake, and then asked the soldiers to fetch water, and she was going to scrub for her fiancé.

After Arya helped Yan Tielong wash her face, she asked with some doubts, is the round iron tool that is about the same height as her in front of her a salt maker?

Yan Tielong nodded, in his words, this salt maker is also half an alchemy product, and it cost him nearly five thousand gold coins to make this big guy alone.

When Arya heard Yan Tielong's words, she asked if the salt in front of her could be used?

Yan Tielong shook his head, he carried the salt maker as tall as a person in front of him and told his fiancée that he made this salt maker strongly, but he had to put it on a special stove to use fire power to refine the salt in seawater.

When Shi Te Arya heard Yan Tielong say that she still wanted to build a stove, she subconsciously said: "Dragon, why didn't you say it earlier? You see that your salt maker has been built, but as a result, the construction of special stoves has not started. ”。

When Yan Tielong heard his fiancée's words, he smiled and told his fiancée that he had already chosen a place yesterday, just follow him.

When Arya heard her fiancé's words, she led three hundred Legionnaires to follow him.

Yan Tielong led his fiancée and three hundred Flame Legion soldiers to the place he chose, but there was no stove in front of him, which made Arya couldn't help but ask where her fiancé's stove was?

Yan Tielong just smiled and carefully lowered the salt maker to the ground, then made the Flame Legionnaire take thirty steps back, and then he pressed one hand to the ground, chanting a magic spell in his mouth.

When Yan Tielong finished chanting the magic spell in his mouth, a magic array formed on the ground, and then a large stove began to form on the ground that could accommodate salt makers.

When Liga saw the stove forming, she thought her fiancé would put the salt maker in the stove, but she saw that her fiancé began to use fire magic to bake the stove.

When Yan Tielong's magic power was almost exhausted, the entire stove was roasted black by the high-temperature flames.

When Arya saw Yan Tielong sweating profusely, she wiped off Yan Tielong's forehead with a handkerchief, and couldn't help but ask her fiancé why he used the fire to bake the stove?

Yan Tielong heard his fiancée's inquiry, he dug a piece of soil from the ground and told his fiancée that the soil here is a good material for making ceramics.

After the stove was completely cooled, Yan Tielong carefully put the salt maker on it, then poured the seawater brought by the soldiers into the salt maker, and then lit the fire and began to boil the seawater.

When the seawater reaches its boiling point, a large amount of steam rises and the salt maker really starts working.

It turns out that the salt maker uses the power of steam pressure to make the magic array on the top gather magic power, and then the magic power activates to filter the substances that are harmful to living things in the seawater.

After five consecutive magic filters, the pure seawater enters another enclosed space, and then the fire system heats the magic array to speed up the evaporation of the seawater, and the evaporated pure water flows to the outlet through the second measurement tunnel.

Yan Tielong saw that the drain of the salt maker had already come out of the bucket prepared in advance, he used the container to store water to take water from the bucket, and then directly let his hand produce a small ice magic to cool the boiling water, and then drank it.

When Arya saw Yan Tielong drinking water, she subconsciously reminded her fiancé that seawater could not be drunk, and the more she drank, the thirstier she became.

Yan Tielong handed a glass of water to his fiancée and asked her to taste it, of course, the temperature of the water has been cooled down by Yan Tielong, after all, the temperature of the water flowing out of the salt maker is very high, and it will burn if you drink it directly.

Seeing her fiancé's inspired expression, Arya tried to take a sip, but she found that the water was not salty at all, and had a slight smell of the ocean, which made her very puzzled and asked her fiancé what was the matter?

Yan Tielong heard his fiancée's inquiry, and he smiled and told his fiancée that the salt maker in front of him could not only extract salt from seawater, but also extract pure water.

When she heard her fiancé's words, she thought that her fiancé should build more salt makers in front of him, so that he could continue to get salt and solve the water shortage.

When Yan Tielong heard his fiancée's words, he reluctantly told his fiancée that it would cost 5,000 gold coins to make the materials of the salt maker in front of him, and the damage rate of some parts in the salt maker was a bit high.

The most important thing is that Yan Tielong is no longer able to make a salt maker, because he no longer has certain materials to make the key parts of the salt maker.

Arya was a little disappointed to hear that her fiancé had no materials to build, but when she saw tiny white particles at the other crossing, she shouted in surprise, "Look, dragon, the salt is out!"

Yan Tielong was a little fussy about his fiancée, he took a little salt from the storage salt container and began to taste it to see how the quality of the salt was?

As a result, Arya told her fiancé that her family had bought ten silver coins and one gram of high-quality salt, which was not as high as the salt in front of her.

Hearing his fiancée's evaluation, Yan Tielong was very happy, after all, the higher the quality of the salt, the higher the price.

It was fast into the afternoon, and then a small group of soldiers posted their commander's announcement on the bulletin board, and then the literate squad leader began to tell the crowd about the commander's announcement.

The residents of Liushui Fish Village learned from the team leader that the local residents could buy the lord's high-quality salt and the purchase limit per person at the price of inferior salt from the merchants.

Soon some people are going to try to see if they can buy salt from the new lord.

When the people arrived at the new lord's salt shop, they found that there was already a long queue at the site.

The price of salt is as valuable as the team leader who posted the announcement said, and the quality of the salt is definitely high-quality, but every resident of Liushui Fish Village can only buy half a catty.

The new lord sells high-quality salt at the price of inferior salt, and those salt merchants can't sit still, after all, they finally monopolized the price of salt in the very wealthy Liushui Fish Village, and it was broken by the new lord, and it is strange that they can sit still.

Soon the two salt merchants of the Flowing Water Fish Village arrived at the noble castle, and they wanted to meet the new lord.

And the reason why the salt merchants want to meet the new lord is because of interests, they all want to monopolize the fine salt in the hands of the new lord.

Soon those salt merchants were disappointed, because Yan Tielong directly refused the salt merchants' request to buy the fine salt in his hands at five times the value, and at the same time, Yan Tielong also warned the salt merchants that if they continued to sell salt at a high price, then there was no need for them to continue to do business in Liushui Fish Village.

When the salt merchants heard Yan Tielong's warning, they dropped the price of salt by half at once after they returned.

Yan Tielong was very pleased with the acquaintance of the salt merchants, but soon a fishing employee found him and told him that those salt merchants actually exchanged high-quality salt with their residents for high-quality salt.

Yan Tielong sighed helplessly: "Those salt merchants are really shrewd, they can find a way in such a short time!"

"Tubagula fish, inform everyone that those salt merchants can sell the salt purchased from the villagers, but sell it to them at a flat price at five times the current price of salt!"

As the captain of the fishing team, Tubagula Fish heard the words of the boss who was also the lord, and he asked with some uncertainty: "Boss, is it too expensive at the current price of salt that is five times the current price?"

"Hehe, five times the price is not expensive at all, like those salt merchants can be sold for ten yuan, or even higher!".

Yan Tielong directly pointed out that the salt merchants could sell the salt at ten times the price, and at the same time, he thought of something and continued: "Tubagula fish, I am telling everyone, I don't care how much salt they sell and how much price, but they must pay five times the current price at a layer of salt as a tax, and if I let me know that if I don't pay taxes and exchange high-quality salt for low-quality salt to evade taxes, then I will be expelled directly!"

When Tubagula heard his boss's words, he didn't understand why the boss still had to pay taxes, but he still whispered to ask if he had to pay taxes for eating salt.

Yan Tielong heard Tubagula Fish asking in a low voice, and he laughed angrily and told the other party loudly that he didn't pay taxes for eating salt!

Seeing that the boss was angry and got the answer he wanted, Tubagula ran out of the study.

And when she entered the study, she saw her fiancé's depressed expression and asked what was going on?

Yan Tielong smiled bitterly and said nothing, and at the same time, he thought of one and said, "Arya, I plan to go to sea tomorrow!"

When Arya heard her fiancé's intentions, she quickly became worried, "Dragon, have you already figured out how to solve the Voice of Temptation at Sea?

When Yan Tielong heard his fiancée's words, he took out a new earmuff and told his fiancée that the new earmuff was alchemy preparation and the previous anti-temptation sound was completely different from the sound of doubt.

When Arya heard her fiancé's words, her eyes lit up and she asked how many earrings there were?

Yan Tielong reluctantly told his fiancée that there was only one, and the reason was that he did not make it with multiple materials.

When Arya heard her fiancé's words, she frowned and pointed out what if the other people were tempted, and Yan Tielong replied that as long as he was not tempted, he had a way to get rid of the seduced person.
