Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 37 Buying Salt
Although Chen Liu was not busy with traffic at this time, it was still much more lively than the cities and counties that Wu Liang passed by in recent days.

It's just that during times of war, there are fewer young and middle-aged men walking on the street, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly, children or women.

Compared with the later dynasties, the social status of women in the Han Dynasty is still good. Not only can they go out to do business and farm, but they can also negotiate for divorce. affairs of state.

Among them, there was a relatively famous female civil servant named "Ban Zhao" in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Many people may not be familiar with this name, but when it comes to one of her works, many people have heard of it-"The Commandments of Women".

"The way of three obediences", "the rite of four virtues", "a woman without talent is virtue" and other arguments were first put forward by this female civil servant, and they had a profound impact on the social formation of later generations.

"Brother Youcai, do you see the flag in front of you? It's the Salt Company."

After coming out, Yin Jian took Wu Liang to the salt shop first.

This is what Wu Liang meant.

The first thing you need to consider when you want to live is the issue of eating, drinking and laxatives, and eating should be ranked first. When it comes to eating, you must never avoid salt. This thing is not only an important condiment, but also a necessity that is closely related to health.

"Go."

Wu Liang nodded, and the two walked into the salt shop together.

"You're polite, sir, would you like to buy salt?"

Seeing Wu Liang with a soldier behind him, the boy who was originally indifferent hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, showing some caution in his behavior.

"Only this salt?"

Wu Liang stepped forward, looked at the large iron basins containing salt cubes in front of him, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

This kind of salt-filled iron basin was unearthed for the first time in 1997. It was called "salt iron basin" by later archaeologists. Salt tool.

In the first year of Yonghe (84 A.D.), Emperor Hanhe temporarily abolished the government-operated salt decree after he ascended the throne. After that, the imperial court still dominated the taxation and the salt industry was privately operated until the end of the Han Dynasty.

The "salt and iron basin" is a tool for the imperial court to control the production of private salt to prevent tax evasion.

The law stipulates that salt households must obtain "salt iron basins" from the government to produce salt and sell salt, and all basins must be declared to prevent tax evasion.

But this is not the focus of Wu Liang's attention. The main reason is that the salt blocks in the salt iron basin are really...

Not to mention the different shades of yellow and brown in the crystal, you can clearly see some small stones mixed in it, and you can even smell a strong muddy smell.

In fact, it’s okay to talk about small stones, the big deal is to be careful when eating, so as not to break your teeth.

But those colorful colors in the salt block are too exaggerated.

This shows that there must be other substances in the salt block that have not been cleaned up. If it is a substance that is often found in natural salts such as nitrophos and potassium, eating too much will kill you!
As far as Wu Liang knows, the salt-making process of the Han Dynasty has already developed, and many salt wells have appeared. Even because of the official operation for a period of time, an industrial chain has been formed, and it should not be so bad. is...

really.

"Of course not, there is still some good salt in it, guest officer, please come with me."

The servant hurriedly pointed to the back hall, and walked in front to lift the curtain for Wu Liang.

When Wu Liang came to the back hall, he saw several iron basins. Although the salt inside was far from being as crystal clear and fine as the 21st century, it was much better than the one outside. color.

"That's about the same. How do you sell this salt?"

Wu Liang finally asked with satisfaction.

But the servant didn't answer Wu Liang's question directly, but bowed and asked, "Excuse me for taking the liberty, may I ask the guest officer who is a distinguished guest in the city?"

"Does it matter?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly.

"Of course it has something to do. This kind of fine salt can only be sold to famous families in the city. If someone else buys salt, they can only sell coarse salt from outside. Please forgive me."

The boy still couldn't figure out Wu Liang's details at this moment, so he still said with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.

"What's the rule?"

Hearing this, Wu Liang was speechless.

Thinking that Wu Liang was dissatisfied, Yin Jian quickly pulled him back, and whispered in his ear: "Brother talented, calm down, there is indeed such a rule. It’s just the same thing in the salt shop, even in all walks of life, there’s no need to argue with this servant, not only what he says doesn’t count, even the owner of the salt shop probably doesn’t count, they have to rely on others.”

"Um……"

Wu Liang then made a deep nasal sound.

Out of his understanding of history, he naturally knew the core of the problem better than Yin Jian, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

But Wu Liang is a person who cherishes himself.

Even if he died of starvation and crashed on the salt iron basin, he would never take a bite of the coarse salt outside!
then.

Glancing at the outer hall again, Wu Liang took out a trampled gold utensil from his bosom and handed it to Yin Jian, and said, "I won't go shopping together, I will leave this matter to you, the outside I asked the salt shop to pack a pot of coarse salt and deliver it to my home. By the way, I bought some meat for me. Prepare more chicken, duck, geese, and dolphin, as well as wine and carbon. In short, what I usually eat is what I lack there. It should be enough to prepare everything for me, right?"

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't intend to just make do with it, but intends to make a living by himself.

For him from the 21st century, the purification of crude salt is fundamentally pediatric knowledge. Anyone who has participated in the nine-year compulsory education has done this experiment in junior high school chemistry class. Even if the conditions are limited now, he can still have it. Extract table salt that is ten times or even a hundred times better than those "fine salt" in Neitang!

Hehe, do you think this will hinder Lao Tzu from living a good life?
Not only are there no doors, there are no windows!

I not only want to eat refined salt that "Tianlong people" have never tasted, but also drink wine that "Tianlong people" can't imagine, who is the "Tianlong people"!
Yes, good wine, distilled wine that has not yet appeared in this era!
Just for a while, Wu Liang secretly decided to modify the wine.

"Enough is enough, wrap it on me!"

Yin Jian patted his chest and said.

"Then you can do it. I have something to go to the barracks. I'll see you in my house later."

Wu Liang nodded, turned his head and left the salt shop, heading straight for the barracks.

There will be wine and meat tonight, and he plans to call "Dian Wei" to his home to make friends.

Although the two haven't met yet, he already knows Dian Wei's preferences like the back of his hand.

"Three Kingdoms Dian Wei Biography" has a cloud: "Dian Wei, Chen Liuji and I are also good. Food and wine, drinking and eating, and people, every time you give food to the front, drink for a long time, and the left and right belong to each other. The number of people is beneficial, and the Taizu is strong. Of."

Know what you like, and then choose what you like, naturally there will be no disadvantages!
