"Chen'er, what are you doing?"
After Zhao Chen finished swimming, he returned to the hut
I found that there were so many people eating these days that there was not enough fine salt, so I started refining it!
Regarding Ying Zheng's thoughts, he can only take one step at a time!
Let him go back and be a free prince, that's no problem!
If you want to tie him to the throne, then sorry, I will have no choice but to run away!
"Dad, I'm refining salt!"
Zhao Chen said without raising his head, the next step is filtering, it is very important, don't dare to be distracted!
"Refined salt? So fine! Chen'er, how did you do it!"
Ying Zheng walked aside and looked at the finished salt in the jar
I grabbed a small handful and it looked crystal clear and flawless!
Rub a little bit with your fingers, put it in your mouth and taste it
There is no bitter taste at all, just pure saltiness!
Then he carefully put the fine salt back into the jar, came to Zhao Chen's side, grabbed him and started questioning him!
"Oh my god, Dad, please let go! This step is very crucial. We'll talk about it later if you have something to do!"
Zhao Chen was grabbed by the collar by Ying Zheng and watched the salt water flow to the ground.
The face is full of distress, Jin Yiwei paid for this with his life!
It turned out that I had three hundred Jin Yiwei, but for this little salt ore, I only have one hundred left!
In this deep mountain, there is a natural cave, which is full of salt mines!
This is also the reason why Zhao Chen chose to live in seclusion here!
These mineral salts were collected by Jinyiwei from the cave!
But just the year before last, the cave suddenly collapsed!
Not to mention that the young No. 200 Jinyiwei was buried, but now there is only one sack of salt left in the hut's reserve!
"Oh, I'm sorry, Chen'er! I'm just excited. Keep going, keep going!"
After getting along for so many days, this is the first time Ying Zheng has seen Zhao Chen like this.
He quickly loosened it and apologized again and again.
And Zhao Chen has no time to talk to Ying Zheng now, and continues to turn around and work hard!
...
"Dad, it's all done. If you have any questions, just ask!"
About two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Chen put away the tools for refining fine salt and sat down in front of Ying Zheng.
"Chen'er, how much refined salt can be extracted from just one sack of salt ore? Isn't this refined salt technique difficult?"
Ying Zheng looked at the small jar of salt in front of him, weighing about four or five kilograms.
When Zhao Chen was refining just now, he couldn't bear the loneliness.
He took Jin Yiwei on one side and got a rough idea!
Including the fact that there is a salt mine in the mountain, he also knows!
When I learned that this was the last salt ore, and I was just so excited,
After wasting a lot of time, Ying Zheng wanted to give himself a few big mouths!
"It's not that difficult! If you study hard, you'll be taught how to do it!"
Zhao Chen looked at the flawless fine salt in front of him and said lightly
"But if the salt mines in this mountain are gone, can we still refine salt?"
Although Zhao Chen said it simply, Ying Zheng still pointed to the mountain behind him and said
"The salt mines in the mountains have indeed collapsed, but my father is the First Emperor!
We have so many salt mines in Daqin, why don't you just give me a few of them? "
Zhao Chen looked at Ying Zheng. In future generations, the salt mine will belong to the country.
In this era, all the salt mines belong to Ying Zheng! As long as you want it, don't you have as much as you want?
"Chen'er, there are indeed many salt mines in Daqin, but the coarse salt dug out of those salt mines,
Those are all poison! If you eat too little, you will end up with vomiting and diarrhea. If you eat too much, you will die! "
Ying Zheng was afraid that Zhao Chen didn't know the power of the poisonous salt mine, so he reminded him
"The poisonous salt mine is fine! As long as you are careful enough when filtering, it won't be a big problem!
Dad, let me tell you the truth, the salt mines on this mountain are also poisonous salt mines! But now, aren’t we doing well? "
Zhao Chen pointed at the refined salt in front of the two of them.
"Chen'er, are you telling me that the food we eat these days is all salt dug out from poisonous salt mines?!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes widened and he felt bad!
"Dad, don't be so excited! You are old, but I am still young!
I haven't lived enough yet, but I cherish my life very much! These refined salts have been processed and can be eaten with confidence! "
Zhao Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Ying Zheng's exaggerated reaction.
He even doubted whether the person in front of him was Ying Zheng! Why are you so afraid of death!
"Chen'er, so you can refine fine salt as long as I find you a salt mine?"
Ying Zheng directly ignored Zhao Chen's contemptuous gaze.
"Yes, not only the salt mines, but also the salt wells in Bajun, and even seawater. I can refine it for you!"
Zhao Chen nodded. The fine salt refining was not provided by the system.
Such a simple thing can be done by any middle school student in future generations!
"Can sea water be refined like this?"
Ying Zheng looked at the white salt in front of him and couldn't believe it!
He didn’t know if there were salt wells in Bajun, but he still knew about making salt from seawater!
The refined salt he usually eats in the palace is mainly made from sea water!
The color is just like lumps of dirt! In addition to the slight salty taste, it is very bitter!
"To be precise, the refined salt extracted from seawater is more refined than that extracted from salt mines!"
Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, in this era, the sea water has never been polluted!
There is no nuclear wastewater from the childhood, and the purity of seawater is unprecedentedly good!
"Okay! Then after you return to the palace, you can choose from all the salt mines in Daqin, Chen'er!
From now on, the South China Sea will be your fiefdom! Chen'er, I beg you to teach me the art of making salt to Da Qin! "
Ying Zheng was very excited and slapped the table and said
"Ah! Ah? Dad, didn't you cancel the enfeoffment system?"
Zhao Chen was dumbfounded, he remembered his history study correctly!
The enfeoffment system finally succeeded King Qin Yingzheng. Didn’t the Qin Dynasty implement the system of prefectures and counties?
Do you want to give yourself an island in the South China Sea and let yourself be the island owner?
"Chen'er, what I want to say is that I will give you my palace in Nanhai County as a gift from now on!"
Ying Zheng shook his head, he canceled the enfeoffment system by himself.
Over the years, it has been hard for Baiguan to adapt, so how could he regret it so easily?
"Oh, that's what you mean! But dad, it's okay for me to teach Da Qin the art of making salt, but I have a condition!"
Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed.
If you really give yourself an island, that would be great!
"Conditions? What conditions? Chen'er, please tell me!"
Ying Zheng frowned. Zhao Chen had given so many good things to Da Qin unconditionally.
Now the most important art of making salt has to be negotiated with yourself?
“First, the art of making salt must be in the hands of the imperial court and must not be left among the people!
We need to focus on cracking down on private illicit salt in the private sector, and no one can be spared! "
Salt and iron have been an important economic lifeline of the country since ancient times!
This has been true in all dynasties! Zhao Chen knew that Ying Zheng valued refined salt, but he still had to mention it!
"That's no problem! Chen'er, do you have any other conditions?"
Ying Zheng nodded, even if Zhao Chen didn't say it, he would understand!
"Second, I want 30% of the money earned from refined salt!"
Zhao Chen stretched out three fingers and said!
I have lived in seclusion in the mountains for these years, living a self-sufficient life.
Relying on the daily necessities and survival skills issued by signing in to the system, life is indeed pleasant.
But being poor is also really poor! There are more than a hundred people, but they can't scrape together a thousand copper coins!
He wants to say that he is the poorest prince in Yingzheng, and I believe no one will contradict him!
"Okay! I will give you 50%!"
Ying Zheng held out five fingers and said domineeringly
He thought what conditions Zhao Chen would put forward, but this is the result?
Don’t you just want money? Give it! As long as Da Qin can obtain the art of making salt, it will be worth any money spent!
"Fifty percent! Dad, you can't regret it! You must give me a letter!"
Zhao Chen's eyes shone brightly, and his face looked like a man of wealth!
I asked for 30% of the price, but actually if I could get 10%, I would be satisfied!
But I never expected that Ying Zheng would directly give 50%! ! !
"When have you ever regretted it?"
Ying Zheng was speechless, he couldn't tell that he, the sixteenth son, was actually a money addict!
He suddenly felt that Zhao Chen's life in these years was not as good as he imagined!
At least I don’t have much money in my pocket! Otherwise, how could there be such a performance!
"Yeah! Dad, I believe you! Old Tian, grind the ink! Dad wants to write a document for me!"
Zhao Chen said he believed Ying Zheng would not regret it, and at the same time he ordered Yu Huatian to prepare pen and paper!
Zhao Chen:٩(¥A¥)۶
Ying Zheng: ⊙﹏⊙∥
Yuhuatian:(¬_¬)
Chigua Jinyiwei: (ー_ー)!!
