The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 67 Removal of Salt Mine Toxicity

Tang Sufan complained: "Where are there so many delicious foods, Lao Cheng, don't write any ink, and help me carry the firewood!"

After Tang Sufan finished speaking, he turned his head and left, Cheng Yaojin spit twice and hurriedly followed.

Li Shimin looked at Tang Sufan's expression, and immediately became interested: "Come on, let's go and see what boy Tang is tossing about?"

Then Changsun Wuji and Fang Du quickly followed.

As soon as Tang Sufan walked to the door of an earthen house, he stopped suddenly, and found that Lao Li and the group behind him looked a little embarrassed.

Li Shimin also paused: "What's wrong with Boy Tang?"

Tang Sufan thought for a while, and said, "Uh, Lao Li, why don't you...don't follow in? Oh, Lao Cheng, give me the firewood."

Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes immediately, hugged Chai in his arms and said with a smile, "Boy Tang, is there any treasure hidden in your room?"

Li Shimin also narrowed his eyes, this kid, he can put a bunch of glazed treasures anywhere so he won't be able to guard against them, why is he covering up now?

Is it possible...

What's in it?

That won't work, how can good things lose my share, let him figure out the high and low.

Even Guanyin's maid recognized you as your younger brother in a daze, which gave me a headache for a while!If you don't show me something good, what can you do?
Tang Sufan blocked the door and said with a smile: "Eh, where is there anything good in it, I'm just afraid of getting your clothes dirty~"

Li Shimin and the others gave Tang Sufan a playful look at the same time, dirty our clothes?Do you think we will believe it?
Didn't you see that even Cheng Hanzi looked in disbelief?
Li Shimin's expression turned serious, as if you wouldn't let me in and the friendship would be over.

"Why, boy Tang, you still can't trust a certain person?"

Tang Sufan's expression paused. If this dog doesn't come sooner or later, why does he come at this time...

After thinking for a while, he said helplessly, "Well, there are too many people who make mistakes. I don't trust you, but you know, don't talk nonsense, and don't have any other ideas. This is not a trivial matter~"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows immediately, this kid really has something good hidden.

"Don't worry, if you still don't believe me, let me go in and have a look, and never go out and talk nonsense!"

Tang Sufan hesitated for a while, but still said, "Oh, all right, come in~"

Several people followed into the earthen house of the workshop, and when they went in, they saw that the surrounding ground was covered with whitish stones.

And there are two large pots around it, which are steaming steaming, and there are several large wooden yellow barrels around, filled with some yellowed brine, and there are some scattered tools around.

Li Shimin stared at the whitish stone, recognized it after a while, frowned and said, "Boy Tang, isn't this a salt mine? Where did you get it?"

"I had someone dig it up from the Weishui River outside the city."

Li Shimin kindly reminded: "By the Weishui River...there are no salt mines anywhere, but there are so many salt mines, why are you preparing for so many?"

"I'll tell you later, I'll get mine first."

Then Tang Sufan looked down at the boiling salt water in the pot, and he could already see snow-white particles floating on the surface, which seemed to be almost done.

Then he turned his head and said to the worker, "Two pillars are done, the salt water in this pot is almost ready to be filtered, and the other pot will continue to cook for a quarter of an hour..."

Erzhu obviously didn't understand the term filtering, so he hurriedly asked, "Um, Master, what is filtering?"

"It is to pour the boiled salt water on the brine cloth prepared in the backyard, and then dry it into crystal blocks, that is, small white blocks. After drying, I will look at it when I come back, and I will teach the rest you."

"Good good."

The worker responded quickly, and hurriedly led Erzhu to scoop up the salt water in the cauldron with a wooden basin and carried it to the backyard...

Li Shimin saw it clearly, and quickly said: "Boy Tang, are you making salt?! Or making salt from the salt mine you use!! This salt mine is poisonous, you can't eat it!"

Tang Sufan glanced at Li Shimin, and said slowly: "Of course I have a way to get rid of the poison in the salt mine. The salt I use at home is all made by myself. I can't eat the rough salt on the market."

The salt currently on the market is bitter coarse salt.

And there are too many impurities, it is not healthy to eat at all, and there is a great risk of thyroid tumors, which is commonly known as big neck disease.

So when Tang Sufan returned to Chang'an, he used the refining method of processing to refine some refined salt for himself to eat. At this time, he didn't have the guts to start a business selling salt.

The matter of salt production involves too much, and the reason why everyone is innocent and guilty is very simple.

So make something for yourself~

But now, Tang Sufan got a better method from "Heavenly Creation", and now he will use this method to improve it.

Besides, if you want to be a qualified traveler, how can you not make salt?
Tang Sufan's reply made Li Shimin's eyes widen, their whole body became numb, and their breathing became a bit short of breath.

This sentence, as if talking in a dream, is so unbelievable!
Li Shimin's voice instantly doubled: "What, you have a way to remove the poison from the salt mine!"

In today's world, salt can be said to be an important strategic resource.

There is a shortage of salt in the world, and a little bit of good salt can be sold at an unreal price. The common people dare not put too much food in their homes. Some homes have no salt and can only use vinegar cloth to slightly enhance the taste.

In the Zhou Dynasty, salt could become a tribute, and in the Han Dynasty, it was an official position of salt and iron, and salt was firmly held in the hands of the court.

Although there is no specific law to make salt for oneself and eat it privately, it is easy to be accused of selling illegal salt.

The crime of selling illegal salt is a serious crime, so Tang Sufan had to take precautions.

Seeing Lao Li's expression, Tang Sufan quickly reminded: "Shh, it's fine if you know it, and it's fine if you know about it, and don't think about it, you can't eat it if you use it to make money!"

With Tang Sufan's confirmed expression, even Li Shimin, who is the supreme emperor, was shocked and speechless for a moment.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji were even more staring bosses. Given their positions, how could they fail to see the big interests behind them.

Even Cheng Hanzi's heart is very excited, my dear, I didn't expect such a big 'treasure' hidden in this room!
If the salt mine can be turned into edible refined salt, it will turn into countless money!
Salt and iron in the Tang Dynasty were not monopolized by the government, but were handed over to the major families, and the one who benefited the most was the eldest grandson's family, relatives of the emperor!
Immediately, Changsun Wuji looked at Tang Sufan in a very complicated way. No wonder His Majesty is so fond of this kid, and he is regarded as his peer. This kid is so talented!
At this time, Cheng Yaojin stared at Xiongyan and asked: "Could it be that the salt you made was used in the food we ate at your house before?"

"Of course, otherwise you would think why my dishes taste so pure, but don't worry, my salt is not only non-toxic, but also better than official salt."

Li Shimin's eyes widened: "Is it really better than official salt?"

"Now I'm waiting for the salt water to be filtered. When it's ready, I'll send you some to take back and eat~"

Then Tang Sufan said to Li Shimin with a rare serious expression: "Old Li...you just need to know about me, don't go out and talk about it! Once this thing appears, it will involve too much, and you should know the stakes !"
