Zhao Feng used a spoon to break the salt into small pieces. The workers, somewhat disbelieving, picked up a small piece of salt with their fingers, licked it with their tongues, and then their eyes widened.
"Oh my god, this is really salt, and it only has the purest salty taste, without any bitter taste at all!"
"Not only is this salt very white, but it's also so delicious. Is it probably better than the salt those officials eat?"
"Oh my god, I have never tasted such good salt! If I use this salt to cook dishes, wouldn't it have no bitter taste at all?"
Seeing the shocked eyes of these workers, Zhao Feng smiled slightly, clapped his hands and said.
"This is the most refined refined salt. Although there are some other impurities in it, they are harmless to the body and will not affect the taste."
Zhao Feng crushed all the salt with his hands and watched the salt particles scattering like snowflakes in the pot. The workers all looked at each other in shock.
"I never knew that salt from the mountains could be made into something like this!"
"This is simply amazing!"
"Look at this salt, it looks like snowflakes. This is clearly snowflake salt!"
After hearing what they said, Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
Indeed, the salt made by oneself is very close to the refined table salt of later generations.
Aren't these salts just like snowflakes? This is of higher quality than the green salt produced by the Liu family!
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea, so he quickly said to these workers.
"You continue to mine the salt here first. Don't move the mined ore. You just need to speed up the mining."
"I'll come here tomorrow and tell you an easier way!"
After Zhao Feng said this, he quickly packed up all the salt and ran back to his small courtyard.
Li Wanyi has been sitting idle in the yard. Every time she thinks of what happened to her family, she can't help but feel sad.
While he was grieving, he saw Zhao Feng running in furiously, and then placed a small sack of things on the stone table.
"Mr. Zhao, what is this?"
Zhao Feng smiled, opened his pocket, took out a handful of salt, and said to Li Wanyi.
"You, the Li family, must have studied the Liu family's salt. Do you think this salt is of higher quality than the Liu family's salt?"
Li Wanyi looked at the bag of very white and fine salt grains in disbelief. No matter how much she thought about it, she could not imagine that these things were actually salt!
She was a little shocked and picked up a grain of salt, put it on the tip of her tongue and tasted it. Then she widened her beautiful eyes and said to Zhao Feng.
"Zhao, Mr. Zhao, this is not only better than Liu's salt, it is simply the highest quality salt among all salts!"
"It is said that the salt used by the royal family is this white in color, but it still has a slightly bitter taste. But you have made this salt that has no bitter taste at all. Isn't it better than the salt used by the royal family?"
Zhao Feng was a little surprised. Did he not expect that he could produce the highest quality salt on the market?
So Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said to Li Wanyi.
"In that case, I have an idea!"
"Isn't it that the Liu family relies on their relatively high-quality green salt to establish good relations with some dignitaries in the capital, so they are able to run rampant here?"
"Let's go straight to the bottom of the cauldron so that the Liu family can no longer survive!"
Li Wanyi looked at Zhao Feng in great surprise. If Zhao Feng had said this before he took out the salt, she would have thought that Zhao Feng was just expressing his determination, but now Zhao Feng has taken out the salt with the highest quality. After coming out, she believed that Zhao Feng was really considering dealing with the Liu family!
And Li Wanyi didn't dare to think about what would happen if the salts produced by Zhao Feng appeared on the market?
If a salt of better quality than the salt used by the royal family appears on the market, it will definitely arouse the rush of dignitaries. Even if one tael of salt is sold for one tael of silver, some people may want it!
If Zhao Feng sets the price of these salts to be the same as the price of the Liu family's salt, then he is not taking money from the bottom of the cauldron. He is simply not leaving a way for the Liu family to survive!
So Li Wanyi suddenly became excited, staring with excitement, her eyes full of admiration.
"Mr. Zhao, you are really amazing!"
"If these salts really appear on the market, Liu's salt will definitely be hit hard!"
"But we don't have any sales channels in Beijing. Can we really do all this?"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said to Li Wanyi.
"Don't worry, I will help you with this."
"I said, our purpose is the same, to bring down the Liu family, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden, I'm doing this for myself too!"
After Zhao Feng said this, he said to Li Wanyi.
"You leave some salt and taste it when cooking. I'll come back to eat it in the evening."
"There are also some other things. I'll talk to you when I get back in the evening."
After saying this, Zhao Feng took the remaining salt and walked out of the courtyard happily. Li Wanyi looked at Zhao Feng's back and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't have time.
Looking at the remaining salt on the table, Li Wanyi held her chin and sighed.
"How can I cook... This is too bad. Mr. Zhao doesn't think I'm a young lady who doesn't know anything, does he?"
Zhao Feng could no longer care about the things here. At this time, he thought of a very good plan.
After returning to the government office with the salt, Zhao Feng went directly to Yu Ruhai and told him his plan.
When Yu Ruhai heard Zhao Feng's plan, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly and said.
"Mr. Zhao, this clever idea is too great!"
"As long as these salts can be sold in the capital, it will definitely make the Liu family unable to sell a single grain of salt!"
"In order to produce those green salts, the Liu family has tried to reduce workers' wages as much as possible, but the cost is still very high."
"Especially the Liu family, they have to send some salt and silver to various officials' mansions. This is why the Liu family's salt has such good sales in the capital."
When Yu Ruhai said this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth angrily.
"I have been collecting this evidence over the years, but every time I hand in the memorial, I am always intercepted by the officials above."
"So much so that the evidence of corruption and bribery by these officials cannot be handed over to His Majesty!"
Zhao Feng's heart suddenly moved and he said to Yu Ruhai with a smile.
"I didn't expect that the prefect could endure the humiliation for so many years!"
"But who said that these evidences are only useful if they are handed over to the Holy One?"
"If you believe me, sir, I have a way to guarantee that I can solve all this!"
