No one knows how much poison the poisonous salt here contains. We can only keep trying until it is eliminated.
Although this method is slower, it is the most effective method.
The formula of this disinfectant is a top-secret formula, which is actually mainly soda, but only Zhao Ping, Cuizhu and others know about it.
Soda is sodium carbonate, a light carbonate.
One characteristic of carbonate is that if it is a light metal salt such as sodium potassium carbonate, it is easy to dissolve, while other heavy metal salts are very easy to precipitate.
Zhao Ping used this principle to form a precipitate with toxic substances including many lead, arsenic and barium, thereby removing the poisons.
Zhao Ping's previous major was analytical chemistry, so he could handle this easily.
Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Xianhong was particularly proud.
Because this is his own operation, he believes that he will change the history of Jingyan, and the poisonous salt will turn into snow salt in his hands.
Of course, stirring formed a precipitate, filtered and turned into clean water. Zhao Ping once again asked Yu Moyan to feed the chickens and rabbits water.
The stick of incense passed, the chicken and the bunny were jumping around, and everything was fine.
Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed and saluted each other to congratulate the successful removal of poisons from the salt.
Cuizhu's eyes were filled with tears of joy, the official succeeded.
Officials are officials, and the immortal disciples are not just bragging, so there is no problem.
Zhao Ping smiled and ordered the cauldron to be boiled dry.
These security groups are mainly soldiers and barracks in the village. The rest of the security groups mainly go to Xi County to fight against the Hu.
Not only is detoxification a huge science, but boiling salt is also a skill-testing job.
If the time is too short, the salt will not form crystals; if it is overcooked, the salt will turn an ugly brown color.
The security team failed the first two times due to lack of experience. Either there were no crystals or the color was too yellow.
Zhang Zongqing and four other people came up to look at the yellow salt, and said happily: "Master Zhao, is this the salt? Yes, it looks much better than green salt."
In their opinion, this salt is pretty good, except for the Xianjia Snow Salt, which has a better appearance than the Green Salt.
You know, green salt is the best table salt, and only wealthy people can have it.
Zhao Ping looked at the four people and knew what they were thinking, but shook his head and said: "There is not much problem with this consumption, but it has not met my requirements."
The four of them couldn't help but be greatly moved. Zhao Ping was trying his best to achieve their political achievements.
They all bowed their hands to Zhao Ping to express their gratitude. Zhao Ping dared not accept it, so he flashed past and returned the favor.
Zhao Long and Wang Guo'er felt a little uneasy because they knew that Zhao Ping was a person who strives for excellence.
Cuizhu saw sweat pouring out of Zhao Ping's forehead, and felt heartbroken and hurriedly wiped Zhao Ping dry with a handkerchief.
Cuizhu liked to see Zhao Ping thinking seriously and looked at him affectionately.
Unlike Wang Guo'er and Zhao Long, she has an uneasy heart.
Because she has a sense of blind admiration for Zhao Ping and believes that Zhao Ping will succeed.
In her heart, Zhao Ping has never failed.
Zhao Long held an umbrella for Zhao Ping, while Wang Guo'er and Yu Moyan used paper and pen to record the detailed process.
The speed pursued in this record was, of course, not using a brush, but charcoal.
This record is very important and provides experience for purifying snow salt in the future.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Ping reset the cooking time after calculation, and waited patiently for the result for the third time.
A miracle finally happened. After the water was boiled dry, what appeared at the bottom of the pot was Xianjia Snow Salt.
Looking at the white snow in front of them, the three big bosses of Longzhou and the county magistrate Jingyan couldn't help but be stunned and stood up from their seats unknowingly.
All five people rubbed their eyes, as if they didn't believe this was true.
Then they pinched each other, and all five of them felt each other's pain.
They rushed to the cauldron in order according to their official positions.
Looking at the snow salt that had now become a living thing, the five of them all dipped their fingers into the snow salt and stretched out their hands to look at it carefully in the sunlight.
The color is already like snowflakes, but taste is the key.
They looked at each other, and Tang Jiahong was the first to taste it.
Because he brought Zhao Ping, he had to be the first to try.
Putting it in his mouth, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The other four people saw his expression and wondered what he was feeling, so they all looked at him for consultation.
Tang Jiahong nodded and said, "Good salt, good salt! Excellent salt!"
Zhang Zongqing also put his fingers into his mouth, and then showed a look of surprise.
Sure enough, it only has a salty taste, without any fishy, bitter, astringent or strange taste. It is the first-class Xianjia snow salt.
It's done, it's done, Longzhou's annual income will increase by at least hundreds of thousands of guan, and Jingyan's income will also increase by at least 40,000 guan.
The five people couldn't help but kneel on the ground and thank the Emperor and the Empress!
Then he handed over to Lin'an and thanked the officials and Mou Zicai.
However, Tang Liangjiahong knew in her heart that all this was brought about by Zhao Ping.
He originally didn't have much hope for the trip to Jintang County. He was just giving it a try. He didn't expect Zhao Ping to send such a heavy gift.
Compared with the excitement of the Longzhou officials, Zhao Ping's personal soldier Yu Moyan was equally happy as the villagers.
Unexpectedly, this poisonous salt that people avoid has turned into fairy snow salt in their hands.
Not only are they rewarded for their success, but they also feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Yu Moyan originally felt a little uncomfortable with Zhao Ping. After all, his sister was the flower of the village, but she became Zhao Ping's concubine.
But at this time, I had to admire Zhao Ping again.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Zhao Ping, this brother-in-law is indeed a disciple of the gods.
While the officials in Longzhou and Jingyan were happy, there was still one thing in their hearts that urgently needed to be implemented.
The poisonous salt has been transformed into snow salt. How will the workshop be established in the future?
Zhang Zongqing and Zuo Kaiwei winked at each other and walked quietly aside.
Zhao Ping smiled slightly when he saw the five people discussing the workshop.
He didn't care about this. He was too tired just now. Now that he was finally free, he should calm down and drink tea wholeheartedly.
While the five officials in Longzhou are happy, this is a problem for the county, the state and even themselves.
Their first consideration was to buy the poisonous salt production technology and set up their own workshop, which would be completely controlled by Longzhou.
This idea was strongly opposed by Tang Jiahong. Zhao Ping was introduced, and he must not let Zhao Ping suffer.
Tang Jiahong’s reason is: “How much does it cost to purchase production technology? Can the government afford this money?”
"What's more, this technology is only mastered by Zhao Guan, the only one in the world, and Zhaojiazhuang is not short of money. What if he doesn't sell it?" Tang Jiahong bowed to Zhang Zongqing and the others, and said nothing again.
The five people looked at each other. Judge Zuo Kaiwei nodded and said: "Master Zhao has unique skills. It's not that he can't do without Longzhou, but that Longzhou can't do without him."
Zhang Zongqing and the others fell into deep thought when they saw the two of them saying this.
Zhang Zongqing pointed to the mountains in front of him, thought for a while and said: "Now this kind of toxic rock salt can be mined for dozens of miles, and it can be said that it will not be exhausted in a hundred years."
"With so much mineral salt, it's impossible not to attract the attention of the Transportation Department, Changping Department, and the imperial court? What should I do? Can you guys give me an idea?" He looked at the continuous barren mountains and sighed.
After all, Zhang Zongqing is the governor of the state and has a more long-term consideration.
It turns out that this poisonous salt was avoided, but in the hands of Zhao Ping's immortal disciples, it turned rotten into magic and became the immortal snow salt.
The mountains for dozens of miles are covered with poisonous salt, no, it will be Xianjia snow salt soon.
It’s not dozens of miles of snow and salt, it’s dozens of miles of copper coins, it’s dozens of miles of silver, it’s dozens of miles of gold!
With such a huge wealth, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the Transportation Department, the Changping Department, and even the imperial court!
Zhang Zongqing reminded everyone in one sentence that they used to be complacent about having mineral salt at their disposal, but now they have become a hot potato.
But for these local parents and officials, no one is willing to give up so easily!
This is not only political achievements and salary, but also their official future and destiny!
What they are thinking about now is how to use mineral salt to give themselves the greatest benefit, strive for the greatest benefits, and strive for a higher future.
But these all have a prerequisite, and that is Zhao Ping's skill in turning poisonous salt into snow salt.
Otherwise, the code will not be a golden mountain, but a poisonous mountain.
People are selfish, and they also considered setting up their own workshops in Longzhou and Jingyan County, but the technology for making poisonous salt into snow salt was in Zhao Ping's hands.
There is another issue they have to consider. The Song Dynasty’s salt industry policy does not allow private ownership, which is related to the economic lifeline of the Song Dynasty.
Not only the internal reaction of the Song Dynasty must be considered, but the reaction of the barbarians cannot be ignored either.
If the Hu people knew that there was a golden mountain in Jingyan, they would definitely attack it at all costs.
Which one in the Song Dynasty has the most defensive ability, apart from the commander-in-chief, it is Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping not only has defensive capabilities, but also offensive capabilities, and Xixian is still in the hands of the security team.
Which one is the most reliable to make? Not only must the technology be kept secret, but it must also be backed by strength.
They calculated left and right, and finally felt that it was most reassuring to leave it to the security team.
As for why others are not allowed to make snow salt, this is a military secret.
The five of them believed that this was the wisest decision, and they were determined not to let profiteers and barbarians get this military secret.
In fact, they knew in their hearts that Zhao Ping had mastered the snow salt production technology and had powerful soldiers and horses as the backing, so there was nothing they could do.
Especially looking at the scene where Zhao Ping transformed decay into magic just now, they felt that who else could they believe besides him.
The purpose of the Song Dynasty's establishment of the Transshipment Department was to firmly control the power of taxation. This would not only make weak branches appear strong, but also prevent local dominance.
Especially the salt tax, which accounted for almost the entire Song Dynasty.
That's why Tang Jiahong came to beg Zhao Ping to give him a way out.
Now that they have this salt factory, Longzhou and Jingyan finally heave a sigh of relief.
In the end, the three parties agreed that Longzhou and Jingyan would get 60% of the income from selling salt, and the Sichuan Army and Security Group would get the remaining 40%.
Although the Sichuan Protecting Army and the security group have been officially recognized by the government, they have no funds.
Because the financial resources of the Song Dynasty are really difficult, it is still relying on Zhao Ping's Zhao's workshop for support.
Zhao Ping could barely do this in the short term. After all, the Song Dynasty was indeed in financial difficulty.
If he does this for a long time, some officials will definitely jump out and accuse Zhao Ping of not having the reputation of being a powerful vassal town, but acting as a powerful vassal town.
Zhao Ping had not entered the officialdom before, so he did not need to think about it. Now that he has entered the officialdom, he must handle it properly.
However, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was too deep. Zhao Ping asked Jing Yan to handle a small matter, which ended up causing a fierce debate in the court.
