"Salt..." the guide replied quietly.
"Salt?" Xiao Han scratched his head and carefully picked up the thing that said stone was not like stone and crystal was not like crystal.
As soon as he got the thing, Xiao Han felt that it was lighter than expected. I looked through it carefully and didn't see anything in common with Bai Huahua's salt! Confused, he put it on the table and took out a knife and scratched its surface.
"Zizzi..."
After a sore sound, some powdery stuff was scraped off, and some of it was directly attached to the knife!
"This is a bit like salt!" Xiao Han said to himself, and then he stuck out his tongue and licked it in the horrified eyes of Xiaodong and others...
One second later...
"Ah, bah bah! Water, give me water quickly! Ouch..."
Xiaodong, Uncle Lengzi, and the guide looked at Xiao Han stupidly and jumped up in an instant! Then he dropped the knife, yelled, and vomited while holding on to the stone table!
"What the hell are you! Want to poison Mr. Hou?!" Xiaodong didn't react until Uncle Lunzi rushed forward to give Xiao Han some water! He grabbed the guide by the collar and glared at him!
The poor guide's feet were almost off the ground, and he held Xiaodong's hand tightly with both hands. All he could do was beg for mercy: "Sir, please forgive me! This cannot be eaten directly. It must be soaked in water before it can be used..."
"You dare to quibble!" Xiaodong yelled and raised his fist to fight!
"Ahem, let go, I'm fine..." At the critical moment, Xiao Han stopped Xiaodong. I spat hard twice and felt the bitterness in my mouth gradually fade away. I took a deep breath and pointed at this thing and asked the guide: "Is this the salt they gave you in exchange for it?"
The guide who finally landed on his feet quickly nodded his head like a chicken eating rice, and said repeatedly: "Yes! They said to soak this in water, and then add some water when cooking to get a salty taste! They also said that you can't do this once If you eat too much sex, you’ll eat people weirdly!”
"Ahem, it's my grandmother's fault! You can't eat too much at one time, but I want to see who can eat more!" Xiao Han covered his face and coughed twice, then asked him: "Then do you know, Do they have a lot of this in their hands?”
"A lot! A lot!" The guide didn't hesitate and answered quickly, "I thought this was salt at first, and I was so happy! I asked them, and they said this thing was everywhere in a cave!"
"Cave?" Xiao Han took another sip of water and spit it out, thinking: "That's the rock salt mine! What a good thing! If this salt mine is big enough! It's so close to Chang'an and Luoyang! It's like a big gold mine. over there!"
Xiao Han remained silent, and the guide did not dare to speak. Xiaodong let go of the guide and walked around the thing curiously. He lifted it up and shook it again. He couldn't figure out why the Marquis was so interested in this crap.
Just when Xiaodong really couldn't see its use, Xiao Han's voice came over:
"Pick it up and don't put it down!"
"What?" Xiaodong was stunned, holding the salt mine and looking at Xiao Han doubtfully.
Xiao Han stood up straight, pointed to the salt mine in Xiaodong's arms, and said to him: "Go and grind this thing in the stone mill. Bring the powder back to me for use!"
"good!"
"Uncle stupid!"
"exist!"
"Find a few brothers who are smart enough to come in! Get some charcoal by the way, Azabu, come here!"
"Here!"
"That's all! Go and come back quickly!"
"Here!"
The two of them saw that Xiao Han had something big to do, so they both put aside their jokes and hurriedly took the order and left! In the blink of an eye, only the timid guide and Xiao Han were left in the yard.
Xiao Han sat down again and smiled kindly at the guide: "Come and sit! Don't be too restrained! I didn't thank you for helping us find the treasure mountain a few days ago!"
"Haha..." The guide showed a smile that was uglier than pain, and did not sit down. He just kept bowing to Xiao Han: "I don't dare, I don't dare! If you have anything to do, just tell me!"
"Haha, you're quite smart! You know I have something to ask you for help!" Seeing that he didn't dare to sit down, Xiao Han didn't force him. He laughed and said to him: "I'll do a trick later, you don't have to worry about this." What kind of trick is it? All you need to know is that if the trick works, you will have achieved great success!
Moreover, it’s not just you who have made meritorious deeds. Those refugees will also follow suit and make meritorious deeds! When the time comes, I will ask the King of Qin to be my guarantor. As long as they are willing to donate the cave that produced this stone, the past will be forgotten! The government will also re-register them with household registration! "
"A trick? A meritorious service?" The poor guide was confused and didn't dare to ask. He could only stand there and laugh awkwardly.
Xiaodong was very efficient at work now. He almost didn't let Xiao Han wait, and he ran back in a hurry.
"Let's go! Go to the backyard!" Xiao Han got up and took Xiaodong to the backyard. The guide looked at the two people who were leaving in a hurry, and then looked at himself. I struggled and hesitated in my heart, but in the end, I stayed in the yard obediently, motionless.
In the backyard, several large pots were still standing in the yard. The two generals were collecting scattered firewood. When they saw Xiao Han coming in a hurry, they saluted quickly.
"I've met the Marquis!"
"No need to be polite! Go and get some buckets! Bring another bucket of water! Hurry!"
Buckets and water were ready. The two families threw the firewood on their handles and flew over to carry the buckets. I saw Xiao Han pour the powder wrapped in black cloth into a bucket, and then asked Xiaodong to stir it vigorously! After a while, the water in the bucket became turbid.
"Master Hou! The thing was found!" Uncle Lengzi's voice came from the door, and Xiao Han looked up. But I found that Uncle Lunzi was not the only one who came! Who is that person next to him, not Little Plum?
"King Qin? Why are you here?" Xiao Han asked in surprise.
Li Shimin smiled: "Haha, I was in the logistics camp just now, and I accidentally saw your family's home, which made the logistics camp crazy! When I asked, he said he was looking for something, so I followed him to take a look..."
Uncle Lengzi shrugged helplessly on the side. He really didn't expect to meet King Qin!
But Xiao Han doesn't care, it's not a bad thing for Little Plum to come! If this salt mine can really produce salt, even if Xiao Lizi doesn't say it, he won't swallow this huge profit! Because this is not necessary at all!
In feudal society, are there any people who are the richest in the world? have! Shen Wansan, He Shen, and Fan Li are all the same!
But what about the result? The wealthy Shen Wansan family was destroyed, and He Shen, the powerful one, died! Even Fan Li, who ended up with the best outcome, lost all his wealth three times!
If Xiao Han doesn't want to be treated like a fat pig by the emperor, he must learn to let go! For a commodity like salt, which has been monopolized by the emperor for thousands of years, it would be better not to move...
Arching your hands in front of Xiao Lizi is considered a greeting. Xiao Han was busy asking Uncle Lunzi to take out various items from the bag, preparing to start his own method of refining mineral salt in front of Xiao Lizi!
(ps, some friends and the Queen asked what plants produce salt. In fact, there are several plants that produce salt, such as salt bark wood. As the name suggests, white salt will precipitate on its surface, which can be scraped off and used as table salt! People Salt is absolutely indispensable. If you live in the forest one day, you can try to find this thing, which is enough to supplement the salt our body needs!)
