In the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, my immortal diary was discovered

Chapter 134 Is the law of heaven and man really feasible?
But the gods asked Yao to mass-produce burnt wood.With the great wisdom of heaven and man, they will never let it go without reason.But the First Emperor couldn't connect the dark charred wood in his memory with the delicate official salt.

"What kind of mysterious way did the gods use to drive away the impurities in the green salt with useless charred wood?"

"Hmph! This Yao also has an elm head. How can a heavenly man do useless work? These burnt wood will definitely be of great use!"

"If I were to change places, I would never have the slightest doubt about the orders of gods."

"Yao is far worse than others!"

The First Emperor suppressed his emotions and carefully read the fairy book, hoping to see how the gods used charred wood to remove the toxins contained in the green salt.

[Although Yao had many puzzles about my method.But Yao carried out all my orders meticulously. 】

[I asked him to find a large stone pot, crush all the large pieces of mineral salt, put them in the stone pot and add water to steam them.When the mixed solution of green salt and water is slowly cooled. 】

[I also asked Yao to put the previously fired charcoal into the cooling green salt water.After the toxins in the green salt water are absorbed by the charcoal.Then pick out the charcoal one by one, and continue to boil the green brine thoroughly to turn it into salt. 】

[After repeating this several times, the toxins in the green salt were completely absorbed by the charcoal.After boiling the water for the last time, what is left is no longer messy green salt.It is white salt that is as white as snowflakes and extremely delicate. 】

[I did a little calculation and found that the yield of fine white salt produced by this method is extremely high.Ten pounds of mineral salt can produce nearly seven pounds of fine white salt. 】

[Yao and all the tribesmen were stunned when they saw the fine white salt.I told them that all the toxin-containing impurities in the mineral salt were absorbed by the charcoal.That's why mineral salt appears so delicate and white. 】

When the First Emperor saw this and raised his head, his eyes widened!

Observing the method of making salt by Heavenly Man, it was not only Yao and the ancient human race who were shocked thousands of years ago!
The First Emperor who unified China ten thousand years later was also so shocked that he almost lost his mind.

"How can this pitch-black charred wood have such a magical effect?!"

"I. I used to sit down and watch the sky!"

"Sure enough, the greatness of heavenly beings lies not only in the mystery of their supernatural powers, but also in the breadth of their wisdom!"

"If it weren't for heaven, who would have thought that useless burnt wood could actually absorb toxins!"

At this moment, the First Emperor felt that his inherent view of the world was being impacted like a shocking tsunami.

There is even a point where I feel like the world is not that real anymore.

This method of making white salt was so simple that even the First Emperor could not believe it.Moreover, the terrifying output and low cost are enough to allow everyone in the world to eat fine white salt!

More importantly, now we can cut off the invisible hand that the clan uses to restrain the empire!

Thinking of this, a sharp light appeared in the eyes of the First Emperor, and he said coldly:

"If the imperial court can produce fine white salt in large quantities, the official salt controlled by the clan will naturally become useless!"

"So, what other abilities do you have that can make others afraid?"

After sorting out his thoughts, the First Emperor hurriedly spoke majestically to his chamberlain:

"Come, Xuan Li Si and the craftsmen who will be the Shaofu will come to Zhangtai Palace immediately to meet you!"

After getting the method of making white salt from heaven, the First Emperor couldn't wait to try it according to the method in the fairy book.

A moment later, under the summons of the chamberlain, Li Si and several craftsmen who would serve as Shaofu had already arrived in front of the First Emperor.Of course, Gongshuqiu cannot come. At this moment, Gongshuqiu has been soaking in the workshop all day long, studying the manufacturing method of armored warships day and night.

The First Emperor's eyes fell on the craftsmen who were to be the young masters, and he said:

"I just found the method of making refined salt from the fairy book!"

"Now, you guys will try this method first."

As soon as the First Emperor said this, Li Si and several craftsmen were shocked.

What surprised Li Si was that if this method of making refined salt was cheap enough.I'm afraid that there will be a storm in the entire empire!
It can be expected that even the entire court will cause shocking fluctuations.

The craftsmen all had their eyes widened!

In this day and age, what manufacturing process is required to obtain salt?
Green salt is simply powder scraped bit by bit from the salt mine.Although the official salt is of higher quality, it is just boiling the brine in the salt well to remove the water.The remaining powder is the official salt which is extremely precious in today's era.

These two extremely simple methods of obtaining salt are far from being called salt production.

When the craftsmen first heard about this method, it was the First Emperor who learned it from an immortal book.Everyone's face was flushed with excitement. It is the honor of every craftsman in Da Qin to be able to personally perform the magic of heaven and man!

Later, the First Emperor followed the steps described in the fairy book.The craftsmen were told in detail step by step how to refine snow-white fine salt.

The craftsmen who will be the young masters all looked extremely excited and pious at the beginning.

But as they continued to listen, a solemn look gradually appeared in their eyes.

These old craftsmen, who have been immersed in the art of studying things all their lives, were completely overturned by the method of refining refined salt taught by the First Emperor.

Although these craftsmen feel honored to be able to make salt according to the laws of heaven and man.But when they heard that this method of making salt requires the use of burnt wood, everyone frowned.

Based on what they have learned throughout their lives, they really don’t know what the connection between the charred wood, which was burned completely black, and the refined salt.

Although there were all kinds of doubts in their hearts, the craftsmen still strictly followed the methods given by the First Emperor and started to practice.

After all, no matter how outrageous this method is, it comes from heaven and man!
On the square of Xianyang Palace.

Again and again, the craftsmen began to use open flames to burn sections of wood.

After all, this was a preliminary attempt, and there was no need to produce charcoal in large quantities. Many craftsmen worked carefully and burned a lot of charred wood.

It's just that the First Emperor was still afraid that the charred wood would not reach the quality of the charcoal mentioned in the fairy book.The craftsmen tried again several times, and finally produced a pitch black charred wood both inside and outside.

Looking at the charred wood in front of him, which was so black that it was almost shining, the First Emperor couldn't help but thought, 'It's all so black. It should be considered charcoal.'

The next step is to use water to boil the crushed salt ore. Today's Daqin naturally no longer needs to use large stone pots to cook it like in ancient times.

The First Emperor directly ordered someone to bring a large bronze cauldron, and watched as the broken pieces of the green salt mine were completely boiled into salt soup.

While waiting for the salt soup to cool down, the First Emperor suddenly became nervous.

Looking at the dark and shiny charcoal in front of him, the First Emperor wondered whether this thing could really absorb the toxins in the salt soup?
