Daming: Pretending to be a blind prince, was exposed by Sister Zhou’s live broadcast

31: Making salt, the high standard and high requirements of Quercus! [Three monthly passes, plus more! ] 】

The people take food as the sky, and salt in ancient times was something that only the imperial court could make and sell.

In the Ming Dynasty, privately making salt and selling salt must be a felony, but with such a double-standard old son as Zhu Yuanzhang, coupled with the identity of Zhu Li, the King of Han, it is not a rare thing for the King of Han to make salt!

The most important thing is that Zhu Li directly reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the fine salt produced was directly supplied to the imperial court, and Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye to this.

Even if the Hubu salt official complained about this, feeling that Zhu Li’s move was to rob business and disrupt the imperial court’s economy, no one dared to say anything more in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because an official who took the lead in impeaching Zhu Li with salt production before, he was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang for a bloody squirt.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang’s meaning, the salt made by our son is more delicious than the one made by you, and you trolls still have the face to accuse our son, don’t you?

Do you know that the salt in the palace is still supplied by Hanzhong?

This slapped a group of salt officials in the face.

Since then, no salt official has dared to speak more in this matter, and can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!

No way, who let the salt they make is indeed not as good as the salt made by the King of Han?

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the income from the production and distribution of salt accounted for half of the Ming court’s fiscal revenue, which played a major role in ensuring the needs of border food and horses, as well as emergency expenses such as river work and disaster relief.

Therefore, the Ming court controlled salt particularly strictly, and resolutely opposed the demand to change the official camp to the private sector.

And the income from Zhu Li’s salt sales was basically used in the army, and Zhu Yuanzhang was even more satisfied with this.

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, salt production still used a large number of pan frying methods, that is, seawater was boiled in an iron pot to evaporate, and a layer of salt crystals would remain in the iron pot.

Using this method to make salt, not to mention the low efficiency, because there are too many harmful substances, impurities can not be removed, eating too much is harmful to the body.

After all, the brine filtration technology of the Ming Dynasty is too poor to effectively filter the harmful minerals in the salt crystals.

It was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that the salt drying method, which was mainly based on salt pans, began to slowly spread.

But this method is also only suitable for coastal areas, and inland areas like Hanzhong Province do not have such conditions at all.

However, in the northwest, including the territory of Hanzhong Province, there are considerable salt mines.

The salt wells derived from these salt mines want to be developed to produce table salt, and the same method is used for pan-frying.

But even if Zhu Que improved the method of salt making, the salt produced was a grade higher than the official salt of the imperial court, but the taste quality still made Zhu Que feel unsatisfactory.

This is also why Zhu Li attaches so much importance to the salt making technique that Zhou Shuyi gave him.

“The last general will see His Royal Highness King Han!”

The work of this part of the salt fang has always been Liu Shan’s responsibility, and after seeing the appearance of Zhu Li Feng Huo, he hurriedly greeted him.

“This is the latest salt making method, let people immediately experiment according to this method, Ben Wang must know the result as soon as possible!”

Zhu Li also did not talk nonsense, fully demonstrated what it means to be resolute, and after handing over the salt-making technique written by Zhou Shuyi in his hand to Liu Shan, he ordered without question.

“This… This is the latest salt making method? ”

Liu Shan was also surprised when he heard this, but looking at the paper in his hand with the technique of salt making, his face quickly became strange.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhu Li asked with a frown.

“Your Highness, what pen is this written in? Why is it so small and neat? ”

Liu Shan asked with some surprise.

Zhu Li then realized that the handwriting on this paper was not brush writing, because because of this salt making technique, he actually did not notice this for the first time!

After all, he was also accustomed to writing instruments such as water-based pens or ballpoint pens before crossing, so he easily overlooked this detail.

But such details, in the eyes of Liu Shan, these authentic Ming Dynasty people, will be infinitely magnified!

Zhu Li was surprised for a moment, and immediately reacted.

It is estimated that Zhou Shuyi, the girl, bought a water-based pen in her shopping cart supermarket, not to mention, this way of writing is indeed more convenient and convenient than a brush, it seems that you have to order a pen with her when you turn back, and you can also improve the efficiency of writing on your side!

“Shouldn’t your focus be on how salt is made? Don’t ask if you shouldn’t! ”

Zhu Li naturally did not explain this problem to Liu Shan, and reminded with a frown of some dissatisfaction.

“The last general will do this!”

Liu Shan was excited, and only then did he react, and hurriedly beckoned people to start experiments according to the salt making technique written by Zhou Shuyi.

The salt making technique provided by Zhou Shuyi is the basic method of brine salt production, and it can ensure the filtration of excess minerals and harmful substances in the salt crystal to the greatest extent.

“Your Highness, according to the latest salt making method, it will take about three days to produce results at the earliest. Otherwise, you go back and wait for the news first, and notify you immediately when there is a result here? ”

Soon, after Liu Shan’s work was carried out smoothly, he saw that Zhu Li had no intention of leaving, so he stepped forward to remind him.

“You don’t have to leave me alone. This salt-making technique must not be revealed to the slightest, and these workers are all closely watched by this king! In addition, send 200 armored Han troops to garrison day and night, don’t make a mistake! ”

“This matter is entrusted to you by King Ben, don’t let King Ben down!”

Zhu Li waved his hand and ordered in a solemn tone.

“The end will obey!”

When Liu Shan heard this, his spirits immediately lifted, and he hurriedly took the order.

He could see that this time Zhu Que paid far more attention to the results of salt production than before, and he was becoming more and more careful now.

In the next few days, even if there was no report from Liu Shan’s side, Zhu Li would run to the salt fang from time to time to supervise.

Soon, the first batch of refined salt was already produced.

Under the expectant gaze of Liu Shan and others, Zhu Li dipped some of the fine salt just made and tasted it, and then directly spit on the ground.

“Not pure enough!”

Zhu Li just said lightly, obviously not satisfied enough with the quality of this batch of refined salt.

Hearing this, everyone did not believe in evil and dipped some fine salt and tried it themselves, and their faces showed shock.

The quality of this refined salt is much higher than the top refined salt they have made before!

This is definitely the best of the best!

But that’s it, His Royal Highness King Han is actually not satisfied?

“Your Highness, this… This is already purer than the refined salt supplied to the imperial court! ”

Liu Shan looked at Zhu Li with a puzzled look and reminded.

“It’s not enough, find a way to continue purifying, but Ben Wang wants to sell to those salt dealers at a high price, if he doesn’t do the best quality, how can he monopolize the market?”

Zhu Li shook his head seriously.
