Molested Zulong at the beginning

You know, the price of this small bag of fine salt is almost enough to sell a sack of coarse salt.

It can be described as one heaven and one underground.

If Bai Su knew how to use coarse salt to make fine salt, then it would be no dream to be rich, and Bai Su would become the richest man in the Central Plains in a short time.

Although my lord has no interest in money, relying on the monopoly business of porcelain and tea alone is enough to become rich in the world.

Right now, they are not the only ones in the courtyard, but also Liu Ji's friends, Cao Shen, Fan Kui and others who came to help.

After hearing that their adults wanted to purify fine salt, they were all dumbfounded.

They were born in the market, so they naturally knew how big the gap between fine salt and coarse salt was, which was a matter of national importance.

If it is said that whoever controls the coarse salt can control the people's livelihood, then whoever owns the fine salt is equivalent to owning a bank that can make unlimited money, and has endless money.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were full of strange things, including surprise, curiosity, suspicion, and excitement...

Bai Su looked at the people who had mixed reactions, and couldn't help but smile: "I asked you to buy coarse salt, why add so much to yourself one by one."

Liu Ji sighed, it turned out to be a false alarm.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and sighed in disappointment: "I thought you could purify this coarse salt into fine salt, sir. If you really want to do that, you will be angry."

Seeing her regretful expression, Bai Su couldn't help but sneered and said, "You have fallen into the eyes of money. You are not satisfied with the wine business, and you still eat from the bowl and look at the pot. .”

Liu Ji's big peach eyes gave Bai Su a resentful look: "It's not that you love the new and dislike the old. I am an old woman who has not been visited for a long time. The valley has already been covered with nets and ashes. If I don't leave any money for my wine, what should I do in the future?" How are you doing?"

The corner of Bai Su's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help saying: "You're not here anymore, every time you take your salary, you even pay in advance every now and then. I heard that it's been overdrawn for 30 years."

Liu Ji saw that he could not fool Bai Su by pretending to be wronged, so he blinked his eyes with a smile and pretended not to understand anything.

If it wasn't for Mo Xun's presence at this time, Bai Su really wanted to put her on his lap and give her a good spanking.

Liu Ji, this female ruffian, really didn't have a roof tile for three days, and she would be brilliant if given some sunshine.

With his slender hands, Mo Xun raised the blue silk between his brows, looked between Bai Su and Liu Ji, and wondered in his heart, are you racing with Master Liu? I'm just a child, I don't understand anything what.

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and then ordered: "Go... prepare some water for me."

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and he was a little confused, so he said, "My lord, what do you want water for?"

Bai Su rolled up his sleeves, curled his lips and said, "Of course it's the refined coarse salt."

Liu Ji's big peach blossom eyes stared round, and his vermilion lips couldn't help trembling: "What... what, purify coarse salt."

Don't talk about her, even Mo Xun on the side was taken aback, as if he didn't expect that Bai Su could actually purify fine salt.

"But son, you just said..."

Bai Su laughed a little and said, "I just wanted to let you calm down for a while, and I didn't deny it."

After getting Bai Su's answer, the efficiency of everyone's work instantly increased several times.

After all, mastering the method of purifying fine salt is tantamount to sitting on an inexhaustible mountain of gold. After dedicating it to the court, they will also be honored, and then they will be promoted and made great contributions.

They only need to sweat to obtain the bloody battle achievements of other people on the battlefield, so they are naturally full of enthusiasm.

Under the dull eyes of many small officials around, I saw the giant of the Mo family and Liu Ji, the second in command of the Shaofu, running quickly like a servant, carrying a bucket, and never tired of it.

Bai Su looked at the second daughter who was sitting on the ground with her hands behind her back, panting heavily, and couldn't help but smile.

He immediately ordered Fan Kuai and others beside him, "Go and prepare some coarse sand, fine sand, charcoal, and thick cloth."

"Yes." Fan Kui whispered.

Although she didn't know what Bai Su wanted these things for, but the life in Shaofu had already made them trust Bai Su without the slightest doubt.

As long as it is an adult's order, just follow it.

It didn't take long for them to return with pieces of sackcloth and other things.

Bai Su put a piece of cloth on it, put coarse sand, fine sand, and charcoal on it, and put them on different basins respectively.

He glanced at the basin with coarse salt beside him, and ordered, "Pour the salt into the basin..."

Fan Kuai and others immediately began pouring coarse salt into a large basin filled with water.

These kosher salts are poured into water and immediately begin to melt.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the water surface gradually became cloudy.

Bai Su said calmly: "Continue to pour, stir while pouring, I won't say stop or stop."

Fan Kuai and the others wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and immediately brought over a bag of coarse salt.

Bai Su rubbed her chin and kept staring at the movement in the water basin. Seeing that the salt water was almost saturated, she stopped them.

The coarse salt inside is no longer melting, and the water basin is also turbid.

He pointed to several basins covered with cloth beside him, and ordered them to pour the melted salt water into the basins in order, which consisted of coarse sand, fine sand, and charcoal wrapped in sackcloth.

Fan Kuai and others teamed up to lift the big basin and start pouring water.

As the salt water penetrated, what remained outside the linen cloth was a thick layer of sand, and the salt water in the basin became much clearer.

Looking at the clear salt water, Bai Su couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

Purification of coarse salt to remove impurities such as sediment and minerals is a simple matter.

What is really troublesome is how to remove the magnesium contained in coarse salt, which is the culprit of many people's diarrhea and even poisoning.

If it were someone else, the premise alone would be enough for most people, but for Bai Su, this is just a basic operation.

Liu Ji came over at this moment, and she blinked her big peach blossom eyes curiously: "Master, could it be all right, it should be more than that simple."

Bai Su gave her an appreciative look: "That's right, it's quite smart this time, go... get me some limestone."

Liu Ji was full of doubts, but he didn't say much, and obediently went to get things.

Mo Xun couldn't help asking: "My lord, what are you going to do with the limestone?"

Bai Su smiled faintly: "Just watch."

Not long after, Liu Ji walked over with lotus steps, his fair cheeks were flushed, and he still held a small bag of things in his hand.

Bai Su took the thing, opened it and saw that it was limestone inside.

With a chuckle, he threw the limestone into the clear water under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

The basin of water, which was originally calm, boiled at a speed visible to the naked eye, making a "gurgling" sound.

In just a moment, the limestone just thrown in turned into lime slurry.

When everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Bai Su was going to do.

Bai Su poured the top layer of lime water into the filtered salt water.

Under everyone's gaze, the originally clear salt water gradually became cloudy again, and then some changes appeared, gradually returning to clarity.

At the same time, a layer of white sediment fell from the basin.

Mo Xun's apricot eyes were wide open. She never thought that what was used to build a house could also be used for food, and it would have such a strange effect.

Bai Su didn't stop, poured out the top layer of salt water, and immediately sprinkled a spoonful of alkaline noodles in it, the salt water became cloudy again, and after a while, it became clear again, and at the same time, a layer of salt water appeared in the basin. White precipitate.

He looked at the things in front of him and couldn't help sighing.

After all, it is not a practitioner who has been practicing for many years, so it is difficult to grasp the accurate measurement for a while, but under the current conditions, it is already the limit to be able to make this level.

Next, just let people follow this method and practice more.

After finishing everything, Bai Su wiped the sweat from his forehead, and ordered: "Put the filtered salt water into a large pot to boil."

Everyone didn't have much doubt, and hurriedly started to cook the salt.

Mo Xun approached and asked in a low voice: "My lord, there were people who tried to boil salt, but the salt they ate was still prone to diarrhea. Is it useful for you?"

Bai Su smiled: "Whether it's useful or not, you'll know after a while."

Looking at the confident Bai Su, Liu Ji beside him couldn't help but look forward to it.

This Western Salt, which is monopolized by the Qi Guotian family, can be described as rich and invincible. Many people have been jealous for a long time, but unfortunately due to various reasons, there has been nothing they can do about it.

If Bai Su can get out the Western Salt, it is tantamount to unloading one of Qi Guotian's thighs.

Fan Kuai and the others were seriously lighting the fire, and as more and more firewood was thrown in, the fire became more and more intense.

As the water became less and less, a thin layer of white crystals gradually emerged in the pot.

Liu Ji opened her mouth blankly. Although she was full of confidence in Bai Su, when she saw it, she still couldn't believe it.

My God, it really turned coarse salt into fine salt.

Mo Xun rubbed the snow-white salt with his fingers, and said in surprise: "This... this is really the best salt, even better than the salt of Qi Guotian's."

I saw that the salt was as white as snow and as delicate as sand, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a royal tribute worth thousands of gold.

It is unimaginable that this thing is extracted with vinegar and salt.

Liu Ji came back to his senses and couldn't help sighing: "This... this salt is so white, it's even whiter than Juzi's body."

Bai Su glanced at her a little funny, did you comment like that, and how did you know Juzi was white? What did you do to Juzi when I didn't know?

He shook his head slightly and walked forward, rubbed some grains of salt, tasted it, and nodded. Although the taste was not as good as that of later generations, it was considered the best in this era.

Chapter 290 Two How Can You Defile People's Innocence

Liu Ji grabbed a handful of white salt like fine sand and let it slip from between his fingers.

She turned her head to look at Bai Su: "Young master has made such a remarkable achievement this time, what do you plan to do next?"

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and said, "Don't say anything, I'll go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and discuss this matter with His Majesty."

Liu Ji nodded, not surprised by Bai Su's calculation.

After all, this matter is of great importance, not only involving the matter of salt itself, but also affecting the nobles of some six countries. If it is not handled properly, there will be many troubles.

Xianyang Palace.

Sister Zheng was sitting in front of her desk, she was holding a memorial in her white jade hands and looking at it.

After hearing the sound of footsteps, she couldn't help raising her head, her phoenix eyes looked at Bai Su with great interest: "Oh, why are you here?"

Bai Su looked a little strange and said, "Is there anything wrong with me coming to meet His Majesty?"

Sister Zheng put down the report in her hand, and waved her hand to make the maids in the palace retreat.

She looked at Bai Su in front of her with a half-smile: "You damned sycophant, don't I know you well? You usually go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, but today's sudden visit must be something..."

"Am I that kind of person..."

Bai Su spoke righteous words, but felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Facing Sister Zheng's gaze, he felt as if he had been touched clearly, and even the length and length were under Sister Zheng's control.

Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su with great interest and said, "Okay, stop joking, and tell me what you want to discuss with me?"

At this time, the night was getting dark, and Sister Zheng seemed to be preparing to rest, wearing a plain black dress.

There are no extra accessories on her body. Her skin, which is smoother and more delicate than a girl's, is the best decoration. She is as beautiful as jade, and her beauty is delicious.

Bai Su couldn't help taking a second look, and immediately took out something wrapped in a cloth handkerchief from his sleeve.

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is what I prepared for you..."

Seeing Bai Su's formal tone, Sister Zheng raised her slender willow eyebrows slightly.

After all, the relationship between the two can be described as the friendship between Guan Bao and fish and water. When the two of them get along in private on weekdays, Bai Su often takes pictures of horses and flirts with them to gain advantage.

Now that the tone was suddenly so formal, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

But she didn't show it directly. With Bai Su's character and such a serious tone, the things she brought must be extraordinary.

I don't know if it is the murder weapon used to attack the city, or the porcelain or tea used for governing the country?

Sister Zheng squeezed the cloth bag in her hand, a trace of doubt appeared in her phoenix eyes, could this broken hand feel be Jinsha?

After she opened the cloth handkerchief, she found a mass of white gravel inside, and she was taken aback: "What is this?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why not try it yourself..."

Zheng Jie gave him a weird look with her phoenix eyes, if it were someone else, she would suddenly bring over such an unknown thing.

Not to mention letting her taste it, it's even hard to get close to her, but it doesn't matter if the person who gave something is Bai Su.

Out of trust in Bai Su, Sister Zheng tasted it, and was immediately surprised: "This...is this salt?"
