Short video spoiler history: The beginning of modern warfare

Chapter 7: Time Travel Tips: Salt Making
Not only Li Shimin, but Zhu Yuanzhang also secretly kept in mind the matter of rectifying the trends among literati.

These scholars are full of bad intentions!

If You Travel Across Time

[When you have mastered a part of the armed forces]

[Salt will be one of your indispensable supplies]

[Of course, in most dynasties, salt was a controlled substance]

[Not recommended as a source of first pot of gold]

【As a man who aspires to be the first captain of the Earth】

【As long as you know the following basic principles】

[Your salt will be purer and cheaper than others]

In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, not only Liu Bei, but also Boss Cao and Sun Shiwan were stunned by the words from the sky.

The profits of salt and iron! Salt is before iron, and the huge profits are all fascinating!

And the methods of improvement for later generations were laid out so openly!

[Salt can be divided into:]

【Sea salt, well salt, lake salt, rock salt】

[For large-scale production, sea salt is recommended as the main ingredient]

[The methods for making salt are mostly the same and very simple]

[Specific method: introducing seawater into salt fields]

[After evaporation under sunlight, crystals precipitate when a certain concentration is reached]

[This is coarse salt. If you need money at this time, you can sell the coarse salt]

If you want to improve the quality of salt

[It is necessary to remove impurities and various harmful ions in seawater]

[Take a small amount of fresh water and add the crude salt prepared above to make it saturated salt water]

[Precipitate and filter it first]

[Then add the filtered liquid of wood ash to remove excess calcium ions, etc.]

[After precipitation, filtration and re-sunlight crystallization]

[The quality will be much better this way]

...

During the Zhenguan period, as Tianmu explained step by step, even Li Shimin learned it!
The simple version is to just add wood ash to filtered water, and the industrial production method just has one more step!

Looking at the distinct grains of snow-white salt in the sky, and then thinking of the appearance of the so-called "refined salt" used in the palace, I was even more angry!

Especially those containing harmful substances!

The methods of salt production during this period were relatively crude. Since the magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, sulfur dioxide and other ions in the salt were not separated, its appearance was light yellow and it tasted bitter and astringent.

The so-called refined salt has only some impurities removed, and relatively speaking it is only a little better!

"Hurry up and order someone to make salt according to this method and send it here!"

"Order another person to summon the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of War to the palace!"

In fact, he didn't need to announce it, Fang and Du were already on their way.

……

In the 15th year of Jian'an, Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao, who was pacing anxiously, and asked in confusion: "This method of making refined salt should be a secret, why..."

Jia Xu didn't say anything else, but everyone understood what he meant.

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu tore off a piece of his beard. This was also something that puzzled him!

Sea salt itself is a business that makes huge profits with no investment, otherwise every dynasty would not have been so jealous of it that they wanted to nationalize it!

The salt-making technique that Tianmu mentioned is actually the technique of making refined salt!
Refined salt!

It’s several levels higher than coarse salt!
Something that even the noble families flock to!
Such good quality refined salt!

What kind of afterlife is this?

...Liu Che was also waiting anxiously, but he ordered someone to bring coarse salt and then did it himself.

Wei Qing was standing beside him assisting him!

In order to speed up the crystallization, low heat baking was also used!
"Is this really possible?"

“Unheard of”

The palace maids and eunuchs were whispering, curious and confused, but at the same time they did not dare to refute, after all, it was taught by the immortals in heaven!
Of course Chen Li had no idea that such a big disturbance had occurred. He took out a bottle of happy water from the refrigerator and drank it while reading the comments.

"I've learned that crossing the salt-making route has already resulted in a beheading. The salt fields are too big."

"Salt making is not as safe as brick making... At the same time, if you are lucky, you can take the imperial examination for mathematics. High school students who are good at mathematics have a high probability of becoming a doctor of mathematics. You can even work in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and look at the stars. After all, in ancient times, if you can read, you can make a living. At worst, you can be a legal advisor..."

How to travel through time?

According to statistics, the probability of death from car accidents is the highest.

"Can you make a video on how to make a rifle? I just pulled up a hill and am now fighting with braids."

"Then you have to make a machine tool first. To make a machine tool you need to have metal that is wear-resistant and strong enough. Generally speaking, if you want to make a rifle in ancient times, all walks of life need to have great development. As a person who traveled through time, it would be difficult for you to do so even if you were doing well in ancient times."

"Do you know how to make machine tools? If you do, come and help me. When I become the emperor, I will make you the crown prince [dog head]"

"Barefoot Doctor's Manual, Friends of Dual-Use Military and Civilian Talents, Militia Military Training Manual, You Deserve It [Dog Head]"

"Thank you, I have finished reading it, how do I travel through time?"

As Zhuge Liang was copying, he was suddenly shocked. The first two books were fine, but this is a militia military training manual?
art of war?

A complete method of training soldiers?
Generals such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan were extremely jealous!

There is no way. For generals who march and fight, the method of training troops is too important!

On the battlefield, the quality of the army is the key factor that determines victory or defeat to a certain extent!
In this era, knowledge is monopolized so severely that ordinary people have no chance to read and write, let alone own a book.

In this day and age, books can be treated as heirlooms!
Military books are extremely scarce, let alone this kind of training method!

This is the result of repeated experiments and is a secret that is never passed on to others!

If you think carefully about the conversation between the two people, it's as if they were cabbages in the vegetable market!
There is also this "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", Zhuge Liang couldn't help but think of the Battle of Red Cliffs. If the situation was reversed, if our army had been infected with an epidemic...

As for the other things in the comments, Zhuge Liang doesn't understand a lot of them. But I'm afraid that none of the ones that can be discussed are simple.

Salt-making techniques like this are so commonplace in the comment section that no one cares!
Zhuge Liang's hands were shaking!
孽 孽!
……

[If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext]

【Suddenly want to eat roasted whole lamb】

[I have raised sheep for more than five years, so I have some feelings for them]

[Is there any false accusation that would make me feel better?]

[It can eat grass today and eat people tomorrow, this sheep cannot be kept]

[My neighbor gave me some cumin powder a while ago. It will go bad if I don’t eat it.]

[You go after him with a knife. If he gets startled, it means he has the intention of treason and should be killed.]

[If it is not explained, accept it calmly, and you don’t have to feel guilty]

[It has been in your house for five years. Has it ever laid an egg?]

[I have raised it for so many years, and it has eaten so much grass, but I have never seen it weave a straw mat]

[Eating two kilograms of grass and only excreting one kilogram of sheep feces, isn’t this bullying an honest person?]

[So it’s still a knife.]

……

In the early Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang felt very uncomfortable when he heard the sound of the sky curtain.

He always felt that the sky was pointing at him!
Since ancient times, kings have been able to kill their subjects, but they don’t have to do it themselves!
Even Tianmu said that he would be killed, so even if the emperor doesn't have to do anything, I'm afraid that political enemies and those who curry favor with the powerful will hear the news and take action!

Xu Da frowned. Lan Yu was currently following him in the northern expedition against the Yuan Dynasty. His prestige was gone after being disturbed by Tianmu. Fortunately, he didn't have many soldiers at this time.

Why did Your Majesty want to kill Lan Yu in the future? Didn't I stop him at that time?

Questions lingered in Xu Da's mind...
