Chapter 623 – Make a salt maker and suppress the price of salt

Xingyu At one o’clock in the morning on May 16, 1174, Yan Tielong rented the only blacksmith shop in Liushuiyu Village to build salt-making utensils.

Of course, Yan Tielong wanted to keep it secret, and now the blacksmith shop was surrounded by soldiers from the Lieyan Legion on three floors. No one knew what Yan Tielong was doing except his fiancée.

Because Yan Tielong has not been in contact with ironing for a long time, his blacksmith level has declined, which also caused him to use mental power and magic to scrap several precision parts.

Until 8 o’clock in the morning, Yan Tielong watched with dark circles in front of his eyes as the only salt maker was laid in front of him, and he muttered to himself: “It seems that you have to strike iron frequently in the future, otherwise this craft will be useless.” .

At the gate of the blacksmith’s shop, Shi Tealiya has been waiting patiently for her fiance to come out. When the door opened, she saw Yan Tielong’s dark circles and said with distress: “Dragon, work hard!”.

When Yan Tielong saw his fiancée’s hand reaching his face, he turned his head and said, “Aaliyah, my face is full of gray carbon now. It won’t be good if you get your hands dirty!”

Shi Te Alia heard that her fiance was thinking about her, she was very happy in her heart, and then asked the soldiers to fetch water, and she wanted to scrub for her fiance.

After Shitealiyah helped Yan Tielong wash her face, she was a little confused and asked, is the round iron nearly as tall as hers a salt maker?

Yan Tielong nodded. In his words, this salt maker was also considered half an alchemy product. It cost him nearly five thousand gold coins to make this big guy alone.

Shite Aaliyah heard Yan Tielong’s words, and she asked if the salt in front of her could be used?

Yan Tielong shook his head. He carried the salt maker that was as tall as a person in front of him and told his fiancee that he had made this salt maker forcibly, but he had to put it on a special stove to use firepower to extract salt from seawater.

Shitealiyah heard Yan Tielong say that the stove should be built. She subconsciously said: “Long, why didn’t you say it earlier? You see that your salt maker has been built, but the construction of the special stove has not started.”.

When Yan Tielong heard what his fiancee said, he smiled and told his fiancee that he had chosen a place yesterday, so just follow him.

Shi Te Alia heard her fiancé, and she led 300 soldiers of the Blaze Legion to follow her fiancé.

Yan Tielong led his fiancée and three hundred soldiers from the Burning Legion to the place he chose, but there was no stove in front of him. This made Shite Alia couldn’t help asking his fiance where the stove was?

Yan Tielong just smiled and carefully placed the salt maker on the ground, and then let the soldiers of the Blaze Legion retreat thirty steps, and then he pressed one hand to the ground, chanting a magic spell in his mouth.

When the magic spell in Yan Tielong’s mouth was finished, a magic circle formed on the ground, and then a large stove capable of holding a salt maker was formed on the ground.

Seeing the formation of the stove, Shit Alia thought that her fiance would put the salt maker in the stove, but she saw that the fiancé actually started to use fire magic to continue baking the stove.

When Yan Tielong’s magic power was almost exhausted, the entire stove was roasted black by the high-temperature flame.

Shitealiya saw Yan Tielong sweating profusely. She wiped off the sweat on Yan Tielong’s forehead with her handkerchief. At the same time, she couldn’t help asking her fiance why she used a fire stove?

Yan Tielong heard the question from his fiancée. He dug a piece of soil from the ground and told his fiancée that the soil is a good material for making ceramics. After baking it with a high temperature, the strength of the whole stove is increased and it is not afraid of rain.

After the stove was completely cooled, Yan Tielong carefully put the salt maker on, and then poured the seawater transported by the soldiers into the salt maker, and then set fire to start boiling the seawater.

When the sea water reaches the boiling point, a large amount of steam rises, which makes the salt generator really start to operate.

It turns out that the salt maker uses the power of steam pressure to gather the magic power on the top of the magic circle, and then the magic power starts to filter the substances that are harmful to living things in the seawater.

After five consecutive magic filtrations, the pure seawater enters another enclosed space, and then the fire system heats the magic circle to accelerate the evaporation of the seawater, and the evaporated pure water flows to the exit through the second measurement tunnel.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Yan Tielong saw that the water from the salt maker’s outlet had reached the pre-prepared bucket. He used the water container to fetch water from the bucket, and then directly let his hand produce a small ice magic to cool the hot boiling water, and then drank it.

When Shi Te Alia saw Yan Tielong drinking water, she subconsciously reminded her fiance that sea water should not be drunk. The more you drink, the thirsty you will get.

Yan Tielong handed a glass of water to his fiancee and asked her to taste it. Of course, the temperature of the water has been cooled by Yan Tielong. After all, the temperature of the water flowing out of the salt maker is very high, and it will burn if you drink it directly.

Seeing her fiancé’s uplifted expression, Shiteeliya tried to take a sip, but she found that the water was not salty at all, and it smelled a little bit of the ocean. This made her very puzzled and asked her fiance what was going on.

When Yan Tielong heard the question from his fiancee, he smiled and told his fiancee that the salt maker in front of him could not only extract salt from seawater, but also extract pure water.

Shiteeliya heard what her fiancé said, and she believed that the fiancé should build a few more salt makers in front of her, so that she can continuously obtain salt and can also solve the water shortage.

When Yan Tielong heard what his fiancée said, he reluctantly told his fiancé that it would cost five thousand gold coins to make the salt maker in front of him, and the damage rate of some parts in the salt maker was a bit high. If it weren’t for the high price of salt, the current system would cost five thousand gold coins. Saltware is money-losing goods.

The most important thing is that Yan Tielong is now unable to build a salt maker, because he no longer has certain materials to make the key parts of the salt maker.

Shite Aaliyah was disappointed when she heard that her fiancé had no materials to build, but when she saw small white particles appeared at another crossing, she shouted in surprise: “Long, look at it, the salt is out!”

Yan Tielong made a fuss about his fiancée. He took a little salt from the salt container and tasted it to see how the quality of the salt was.

As a result, Shite Aaliyah told her fiance that her family had bought ten silver coins and one gram of high-quality salt, but none of them were as high-quality as the salt in front of her.

Yan Tielong was very happy when he heard the comments from his fiancee. After all, the higher the quality of the salt, the higher the price.

Soon in the afternoon, a small group of soldiers posted the content of their chief’s announcement on the bulletin board, and then the literate group leader began to tell the people around him the information released by the chief.

The residents of Liushuiyu Village learned from the team leader that local residents can purchase the lord’s fine salt and the purchase limit per person at the price of the merchant’s inferior salt. The people present are all talking about it. They all doubt that you can buy fine salt at the price of inferior salt. Is it real?

Soon some people are going to try and see if they can buy salt from the new lord.

When the people came to the shop where the new lord sold salt, they found that there had been a long line at the scene.

The price of salt is just as valuable as the team leader who posted the announcement, and the quality of salt is definitely a fine product, but every resident of Liushuiyu Village can only buy half a catty.

The new lord sells high-quality salt at the price of inferior salt. The salt dealers can’t sit still. After all, they finally monopolized the salt price in the very wealthy Liushui fish village. The result was broken by the new lord. It is strange that they can sit and live.

Soon two salt merchants from the monopoly Liushuiyu Village came to the noble castle, and they wanted to meet the new lord.

The reason why the salt merchants want to see the new lord is because of their interests. They all want to monopolize the fine salt in the hands of the new lord.

Soon the salt merchants were disappointed, because Yan Tielong directly refused the salt merchant’s request to buy the fine salt in his hands for five times the value. At the same time, Yan Tielong also warned the salt merchants that if they continue to sell salt at high prices, then they don’t need to continue doing business in Liushuiyu Village. .

The salt merchants heard Yan Tielong’s warning, and after they returned, they cut the salt price by half.

Yan Tielong was very pleased with the knowledge of the salt merchants, but soon a fishing employee came to him and told him that those salt merchants actually exchanged high-quality salt for their residents with high-priced and poor-quality salt.

Yan Tielong said helplessly: “Those salt merchants are really smart, and they can figure out a solution in such a short time!”.

“Tubagula fish, inform everyone that the salt that the salt merchants bought from the villagers can be sold, but the same price will be sold to them at five times the current salt price!”.

As the captain of the fishing team, Tubagulayu heard that the boss was also the lord, he was a little uncertain and asked: “Boss, is it too expensive for the current five times the price of salt?”.

“Hehe, five times the price is not expensive at all, like those salt dealers can sell it at ten times the price, or even higher!”.

Yan Tielong pointed out directly that the salt merchants could sell salt at ten times the price, and at the same time he continued on thinking about it: “Tubagula fish, I’m telling everyone, I don’t care how much salt they sell and how much price they sell, but they must change the current price. Five times the price is paid in a layer of salt money as tax, and if I know that I do not pay taxes and exchange fine salt for inferior salt to avoid taxes, then I will be expelled directly!”.

Tubagulayu heard what his boss said, he didn’t understand why the boss had to pay taxes, but he still asked in a low voice whether he would have to pay taxes on salt.

Yan Tielong heard Tubagulayu whispering inquiries, he laughed and told the other party loudly that he would not pay taxes on his own salt!

Seeing that the boss got angry, Tubagulayu also got the answer he wanted, so he ran out of the study.

As for Shi Te Alia who entered the study, she asked her fiancé’s depressed expression and asked what was going on.

Yan Tielong smiled bitterly and said that there was nothing, and at the same time he thought of one thing and said: “Alia, I plan to go to sea tomorrow!”.

Shite Aaliyah heard her fiancé’s plan, and she quickly worried: “Dragon, have you thought of how to solve the sound of temptation at sea? You must know that the earmuffs you made previously have no effect!”.

Yan Tielong heard what his fiancé said, he took out a new earmuff, and told his fiancé that the new earmuff was an alchemy preparation and the previous anti-temptation sound completely two concepts, which can completely prevent the voice of doubt.

When Shi Tealiyah heard what her fiancé said, she asked how many earmuffs there were before her eyes.

Yan Tielong had no choice but to tell his fiancee that there was only one, because he didn’t use more materials to make it.

Shit Aaliyah heard her fiancé, and she frowned and pointed out what should be done if others were tempted? Yan Tielong replied that as long as he was not tempted, he would have a way to relieve the tempted person.
