Chapter 18 Three Conditions
"Add water to the copper basin to dissolve the salt powder, five times (100ml) at a time, until the salt powder is no longer visible."

"promise!"

Huo Shan ignored them, walked to a small wooden barrel with a small opening at the bottom and started to get busy, Jin Rixun went to light the fire, Huo Guang took out a pen and ink bamboo slip from somewhere, and followed Huo Shan to start recording!
Everyone was busy, but Liu Che, the uncle, sat on the table and watched everyone who was busy.

Huo Shan first added three layers of silk to the bottom of the round-bottomed wooden barrel, and then added linen on top of the silk. There was no cotton, so he could only make do with linen.

Huo Shan added some fine grass on top, followed by charcoal, fine sand, coarse sand, small gravel, and large gravel.

Huo Shan originally wanted to get some slaked lime and soda noodles to remove some harmful substances, but these things are not available at this time, so it can only be forgotten.

It is already very good to know that it can remove the impurities in it. This kind of light yellow and taupe salt grains are eaten by the upper class at this time. After the snowflake salt comes out, the profit in it is unimaginable!
After finishing all this, Huo Shan asked Sun Shang to put the wooden barrel on the shelf made by old Xu Gang, with a copper basin under it.

Huo Shan waited for a while, and after seeing that there was no more sediment at the bottom of the water basin, he said:

"Sun Shang, pour this water into the bucket."

"promise!"

The water was poured into the bucket, and after waiting for a while, no water leaked out. Several people looked at Huo Shan. Huo Shan shook his cattail fan, shook his head and said:

"Don't be restless, don't be restless!"

Liu Che was sitting on the table next to him, watching this scene calmly!
The three of them waited for about two or three minutes, and the water dripped down slowly, drop by drop, for a quarter of an hour before it stopped.

Seeing that, the three of them stopped, and looked at Huo Shan again. Huo Shan pointed to the round copper tripod over there:
"Boil it over high heat, and just boil it dry. Sun Shang will go and wash the mill."

Then there was a long period of waiting. Gradually, the water in the cauldron was almost gone, and the salt had been exposed. It was relatively dry and mushy. Huo Shan asked Sun Shang to push away the fire underneath. I was able to dry the salt.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, Huo Shan felt that it was almost done. He lifted the lid of the cauldron and took out pieces of irregular salt.

However, after the baptism of freezing summer in the morning, everyone has some preparations in their hearts.

"Sun Shang, change the millstone and grind it into coarse powder."

After a while, it was finished, and when it was brought over, Huo Shan dumped it on the table, forming a small pile.

"Snowflake salt is really like snowflakes!"

Liu Che grabbed some and looked at it, his eyes were full of excitement, it was all money, Huo Guang tasted it, wrinkled his face and sighed again and again, and didn't speak, I don't know what he was sighing, Jin Ridun's face was full of money. Amazement at the magical means.

As for Sun Shang, he didn't seem to react much, he was still immersed in the joy of getting the bounty.

Xu Ziwei, the old Mensao, had an indifferent expression and couldn't see anything.

"Sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow!"

Huo Shan waved the cattail fan with his left hand and walked back into the room with his right.

"and many more!"

Huo Shan turned his head to look at Liu Che, and Liu Che pointed to the salt pile:

"This is the end?"

"Didn't you all remember it?"

Huo Shan pretended to be puzzled.

"This is the method of purification, what about the method of making salt?"

"When did I mention the method of making salt? I didn't."

Huo Shan repeatedly denied it, shaking his head like a rattle, but Liu Che knew what he was thinking when he saw the motionless footsteps.

"Reward ten thousand gold!"

As soon as Liu Che finished speaking, everyone around him gasped at the Liangpi.

According to the official pricing, ten thousand gold is ten thousand five baht. Although it is impossible to exchange so much money for him, the official exchange ratio at this time is still very strong.

Although our Majesty is extravagant, the maximum personal reward words will not exceed a hundred gold, and this is when he is in a very good mood.

Huo Shan almost jumped up in anger, and shouted angrily:

"You will give me a reward of tens of thousands of gold every year for business of hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold?"

Calculated according to the current food price, this is equivalent to a modern market with tens of billions of dollars per year, with annual profits of billions or even tens of billions. You just want to send me away if you give me three or four billion?

Tell you, impossible!
Huo Guang's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Nizi, don't be rude. Salt and iron are official camps. Your Majesty doesn't want to take away your salt-making method and reward you with ten thousand gold. This is a great gift from heaven. Why don't you hurry up and thank you?"

Huo Guang was really afraid that Liu Che would kill Huo Shan in a fit of anger. This majesty is not a kind master, if he blocks his way, he doesn't care who you are!
Huo Shan stiffened his neck, stared at Liu Che without speaking, the atmosphere gradually became serious, and everyone was ready to stop him at any time.

Xu Ziwei quietly got closer to Huo Shan, and was going to run away with Huo Shan on his shoulders when Liu Che got violent.

While everyone was waiting, Liu Che chuckled, walked to the table and sat down: "Tell me about your conditions."

Everyone's eyes widened in an instant, alas, it's still different after all.

Xu Ziwei put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If it were him, he would probably have been sent to prison.

'That's right, this is His Majesty's little prince! '

Huo Shan chuckled, ran up to Liu Che and stretched out three fingers:

"I have three conditions!"

Huo Guang rolled his eyes:
'Really, it's so hard to get ahead, you have the same virtue as your brother! '

"Tell me!"

Liu Che patted his thigh with the cattail fan, and Huo Shan immediately ran over to press it, looking like a dog leg.

"The first condition is that I will train in the army in two years!"

"Military training? Military training or military training?"

"Army training!"

Everyone immediately held their breath again, they are really courageous!

Liu Che sat up straight, squinted his eyes and looked at Huo Shan carefully, then looked at Huo Guang again, and asked again with an emphatic tone:
"You want to train private troops in your feudal country?"

Huo Shan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said:

"Ah, no, can a private army be trained in a closed country?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Huo Guang quickly explained:
"Zihou, you can't have a private army when you seal a country, this is a serious crime of extermination!"

After speaking, I wiped the sweat from my forehead, I was really scared to death!
Huo Shan said "oh", he didn't intend to train a private army, what he meant was to train a new army and let him lead it.

After careful consideration, Liu Che suddenly asked:

"How many people do you want to train?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Huo Guang's face changed again:
"Your Majesty must not set this precedent!"

Liu Che glared at Huo Guang, then said to Huo Shan:

"Your uncle is right. You can't train a private army in a closed country, but you can build a new army and put it in Shanglinyuan. This army can only be commanded by you, and it can be counted as your private army. You can transfer troops without tiger charms."

Liu Che narrowed his eyes and thought for a while:
"This army can't go out of Guanzhong unless it's a battle or a transfer. Wait for you... this department will be included in the Northern Army. The upper limit will be a school lieutenant department, 2500 people, how about it?"

Xu Ziwei who was standing next to him had red eyes with jealousy. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, even if they were generals and prime ministers, no matter how many they kept secretly or how many were in the army, the guards on the surface were sent by the emperor. The few small soldiers belonging to the officials cannot be mobilized without tiger charms!

Only one person had private soldiers, and that was Huo Shan's father Hussars General Huo Qubing. It was only one song, and there were only 500 people. This was directly multiplied by five times. Old Xu felt that he was going crazy!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huo Shan chuckled, the smile was very bright, and the hand pressing his thigh was even harder!

Liu Che enjoyed the family happiness very much. He patted Huo Shan on the head with his cattail fan:

"Tell me, what is your next condition?"

"Your Majesty, I want to change Fengguo's position."

"No!"

Liu Che directly refused.

The others are also speechless. You just said that your soldiers and horses are not allowed to go out of Guanzhong, just to prevent you from going to Fengguo, and you want to move Fengguo to Guanzhong. Really...

The champion Hou Guo is in Nanyang, which is a rich land, but it is still not as good as Guanzhong. The environment in Guanzhong at this time is not full of yellow sand, it is still very green at this time!

And after hundreds of years of water conservancy development, there is no place in the world more affluent than this, not to mention the different status of Guanzhong.

Huo Shan really wanted to move the fief to another place, but it was just an idea, and he said it as soon as he got hot.

It's not that he wants to move into Guanzhong, his goal is Jincheng in Longxi County, but there is no such place as Jincheng yet, there is only a legend about Lao Huo.

This place is located at the key point from Guanzhong to the Hexi Corridor, and the place where the Silk Road must pass. Not far to the north is Lingju, the place where the guards and soldiers stationed troops, the southwest is Longxi County, and the northwest is Huangzhong. , next to Huangzhong is Qinghai Lake, which is a big salt lake!
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that he hadn't considered it enough. It was impossible for Liu Che to give him the place to attack, and this place was a place where the Fourth World War was fought, and the environment was not as good as Nanyang.

Although the money comes quickly, he is a mess, and this place is still the headquarters of the Longyou Group...

There are simply not too many ways to make money. As for moving the feudal country there?And Huang Zhongyi is right there, how stupid he is!

.........

"That's fine, then change to another one, I want to be the Shaofu!"

Liu Che couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Heh, you little brat, you don't even understand the taxation of mountains, seas, pools, and lakes!"

But Liu Che just wanted to say that he was not sure, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was not impossible, the big deal was to let him have a capable young mansion to help him manage things.

Let him be the young man, maybe one day he can get something good, he didn't think about it at first, but after going through the salt making method, he felt that there must be something hidden in this little thing.

If you hide the things given by your ancestors yourself, your mind is really broken, and you can't do anything about him.

"Okay, sure!"

Everyone around has become numb, so what about Jiuqing, what about ten-year-old children, it is not a matter of the emperor's words.

"Okay, then let's keep the last condition first, and I'll talk about it after I think it over!"

Liu Che has nothing to do, maybe Huo Shan will forget about it in a few days!

Huo Shan was very excited. Although the power of the Shaofu is not as good as before, it has a lot of resources. You have earned so much money from the farming order, and most of them have moved into the Shaofu!
Huo Shan was very looking forward to his appointment as the Shaofu!
