Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 6 Salt Making
Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to ask: "What do you need? I'll let the servants prepare it."

Which recipe Zhao Han had seen before, and he couldn't laugh or cry after reading it. Isn't this the chemistry experiment he learned in school?It's really very simple. Zhao Han himself did this experiment when he was in school. To be honest, it's really not a problem. It's just that everything he learned is returned to the teacher. He was an otaku in his previous life, so how could he think of this.

Zhao Han asked Cheng Yaojin to order his servants to find some wooden barrels and three pieces of linen, then take some pieces of salt mine, and then set up a pot.

Cheng Yaojin was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "No more? Do you want these things?"

"That's right, what do you think? You just need these things. In fact, making white salt is very simple, and even a fool can learn it. You will know it at a glance."

Cheng Yaojin can't wait to scold her, you boy compare me to a fool?But this is not the time to worry about this, it is more important to see how to make salt.

Cheng Yaojin ordered his servants to prepare what Zhao Han wanted immediately. At this moment, Cheng Chumo's three brothers also came over. They couldn't go out recently, so they were bored at home. At this time, the servants said that the master and Zhao Han seemed to be doing something. If you are curious about something, come and have a look.

Cheng Chubi was the one who couldn't stay idle. As soon as he came over, he heard what Zhao Han said was simple or something. He immediately became interested and asked, "Xiao Han, what are you doing? It's so lively?"

Cheng Yaojin slapped him and said, "Where do you have so many problems, little bastard? Just look at it, don't talk too much, and you can't say what you see after a while. If you let me know who said it, See if I don't skin him."

Cheng Yaojin's words were not only for the three brothers of the Cheng family, but also for the servants. Although the soldiers he had followed for many years had retired, he couldn't help but let it out. He had to pay attention.

As soon as Cheng Yaojin spoke, the servants brought all the things Zhao Han needed, and then said to Cheng Yaojin: "My lord, I have brought all the things. Mr. Zhao, what else do you need?"

Zhao Han looked at it and said: "Okay, I don't need anything else for the time being, and then I ordered my servants to make Datang's first chemical experiment according to my instructions."

"First let the servants make the salt mine into powder, then pour the powdered salt into the wooden barrel and add water. At this time, after adding water and salt to the wooden barrel, the water immediately turns black and purple. Zhao Han saw that it was a poisonous mineral."

Then ask the servants to cover another wooden barrel with sackcloth and then pour the bucket of salt water into this wooden barrel covered with sackcloth. After switching back and forth several times in this way, there is a thick layer of purple and black mud on the sackcloth. This means that the harmful minerals have been filtered out, and then the water in the wooden barrel has become clear. I put a little bit of it in my hand and tried it in my mouth. Well, there is no astringent taste.

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin and the three brothers of the Cheng family also came closer to observe, and the old goblin asked: "Boy, is this what you mean by filtering?"

"Well, the poison has been filtered out, and then put it in a pot to boil the water dry, it's very simple, right? Zhao Han said proudly at this time."

Then let the servants pour the brine in the wooden barrel into the pot and boil it dry. After the water evaporates, only a layer of white white salt remains in the pot.

Cheng Yaojin put a little bit of it in his mouth and put it in his mouth. Although it was very salty, he didn't want to spit it out.

Cheng Yaojin was really excited at this time. This method is really simple, and the cost is not more than a dozen yuan. Moreover, there are two salt mines near Chang'an. No one wanted that place before, and the land near the salt mines could not be planted at all. The dealer, so no one cares about it, but now with this method, it can turn into a gold mine in an instant. If it doesn’t work, go to the palace to find Li Er immediately. This is a big deal. Recently, because of the Turkic incident, Li Er has been frowning It's a good thing, this good thing can make Li Er feel better, and he will stop tossing them old guys.

Just do what you say, grab Zhao Han immediately and let the servants prepare, he will enter the palace immediately, and then say to the servants: "Pack up everything, don't talk nonsense, and you three bastards, go back to yourself!" Stay in the room, don't go out recently, anyone who dares to go out will break his legs," said Zhao Han, and hurried out of the house grabbing Zhao Han's clothes.

……

At this time, Li Er was sitting in the dormitory of Empress Changsun, frowning. He had just killed his elder brother and younger brother and forced his father to abdicate. Chang'an, Li Er had no choice but to pay a large amount of food and money to let Jieli Khan retreat. This made Li Er feel very ashamed, but he couldn't help it. Li Er took a bite out of himself, and Li Er couldn't swallow the breath, because he wanted to attack the Turks as soon as he stabilized his position.

Recently, I called my confidantes into the palace to study how to attack the Turks, but there was no result. I was worried. Empress Changsun walked in and saw Li Er sitting on a beanbag worrying. Empress Changsun didn't know what to say.

Empress Changsun is a shrewd woman, if not so many people in later generations praised Empress Changsun, and those unlucky children of Li Er rebelled one by one after the death of Empress Changsun and killed themselves.

Empress Changsun knew that it was not her business to intervene in state affairs, so she walked up to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, have some porridge first. This is the porridge I just made."

Seeing Empress Changsun coming, Li Er pulled him aside and said, "Guanyin maidservant, if you are not in good health, you don't have to make porridge for me yourself, just let the servants go."

Empress Changsun smiled lightly and said: "The concubine is fine, Your Majesty should try it, it won't taste good after it gets cold."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Avalokitesvara."

When Li Er was about to drink the porridge, the eunuch next to Li Er came in and said to Li Er, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu is asking to see you, and he brought a person with him, who is already waiting for the Emperor in the imperial study."

Li Er frowned and asked, "Did Lu Guogong not say anything?"

"Going back to the emperor, seeing that Duke Lu was very anxious, the servant asked, but Duke Lu didn't say anything, he just said that he would say it after seeing the emperor."

When Li Eryi heard that the old goblin came to see me at this time, he must have something urgent, otherwise he was in such a hurry, and then said to Empress Changsun: "Guanyin maidservant, let me go and see what the old goblin has to do with me, I will be busy later. Come here when you're done."

Empress Changsun knew that the country's important affairs were important, so she urged: "Your Majesty, hurry up and get busy. The country's important affairs are important. Just come back after you are done. The concubine is waiting for Your Majesty."

Li Er stood up, handed the porridge to the servants, then turned and walked out.

When Li Er came to the imperial study room, he saw the old goblin wandering around, with a handsome young man standing behind him.

"What is the purpose of Lu Guogong coming to see me at this time?"

Seeing Li Er walk into the imperial study, the old goblin couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, I have achieved a great thing for the people of Tang Dynasty."

"Oh?"

"What is it that is good for the people of Tang Dynasty? Li Er became interested when he heard the old goblin say this."

Cheng Yaojin told about his relationship with Zhao Han and how Zhao Han made salt.

When Li Er heard that there was such a simple way to make salt, he stood up excitedly from the dragon chair, walked quickly to Cheng Yaojin and asked, "Is this really true?"

It's not that Li Er doesn't believe in Cheng Yaojin. After all, Cheng Yaojin followed him to win the throne from his elder brother. Li Er trusts these old people who follow him. It's just that Li Er is so excited that he can't believe it. If it's true , not only can benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also give yourself a good reputation. After all, you got the throne by killing your elder brother, and you can suppress the family. After all, the salt production is in the hands of the family. Stabilizing the throne is dissatisfied with the family.
