Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

Taiyuan Wang was slapped in the face, which is intolerable.

Just hit it once, twice in a row.

This made Wang Boyi very embarrassed.

That’s why this time the social power of the clan was completely mobilized.

Why is the family so scary?

Not just because of their power in the court.

What's more, they control most of society's resources.

Of course, Li Yi doesn't know much about these things for the time being.

He has been very busy these two days.

Xue Rengui's group of soldiers pulled an ox cart almost every day to mine a batch of salt stones from Zhongnan Mountain and returned to Chang'an.

Enter Ziyun Temple.

Ma Youzhen and Chen Youyun looked at each other and smiled.

What a fool!

Retarded!

Why is Li Yi, a fool, dragging a batch of salt stones back all day long? court death? Or commit suicide?

Although they are all called salt, the only methods of producing salt in this era were seawater salt and brine salt. Mineral salt, which contains nitrate, phosphorus and potassium, can kill people if eaten, and is called poison. Salt.

Li Yi knows.

Whether it is seawater or brine salt production, not only is the efficiency low, but most of the products produced are coarse salt and green salt, which taste very bad. The taste depends entirely on the conscience of the salt dealers.

Nowadays, those aristocratic families almost all monopolize the salt wells and generate huge profits.

They control these social resources and can do whatever they want.

Why can't Li Yi?

The salt collected from the salt mines only needs to be filtered, purified, and crystallized to produce fine salt.

This kind of technology, at least in this era, is unprecedented.

Despite what Di Renjie and Shangguan Yi said, the secret recipe for controlling salt in aristocratic families has never been revealed.

Nonsense!

Li Yi could figure out whatever secret recipe they had with his butt, but it was just drying and crystallizing sea salt.

At most, some impurities can be removed.

Whether the removal process is good or not depends on your conscience.

It totally depends on the family.

If you are happy, let your own tribe and workers carefully remove the impurities, then the salt will be fine.

You are not happy, even if the salt is mixed with impurities, your people still have to lick their faces to buy it!

Li Yi understands these principles, but Ziyunguan and other miscellaneous people do not.

Ma Youzhen said calmly:"This is called jumping over the wall!"

Chen Youyun also smiled and said with a proud face:"Now, I'm afraid that Li Yi knows what you are doing, senior brother. Look, we will give him a barren mountain , there is no use for hanging... Ahem, Infinite Heavenly Lord, it is a useless hilltop. Li Yi knows it, but what can he do? He can't grow food, and there are no trees to cut down. He is desperate. This can only pull the salt mine."

Ma Youzhen said proudly:"What do you think of Pindao's operation?"

Chen Youyun:"Infinite Heavenly Lord, is there anyone smarter than Senior Brother Ma in this world? This time we simply Li Yi is really good at it!"

Ma Youzhen said with a smile:"Junior brother, your move is not bad! Now everyone knows that I cheated Li Yi, even he knows it himself, what can I do? This dumb loser , he can only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach."

Chen Youyun said calmly:"Eat, eat, pull back all the salt mountains, eat them all to death, ascend to the Immortal Class as soon as possible, and it will be over!"

"Haha, Junior Brother Chen, are you angry now?"

"That's called a smooth, whole-body feeling of comfort!"

……

The suburbs of Wannian City.

Batch after batch of salt stones were pulled from Sanqing Mountain to Li Yi's mansion by this group of soldiers.

These soldiers were also suspicious.

I don’t know what Li Yi wants this batch of salt stones to do.

But they won't question Li Yi now.

After what happened last time, they became more respectful to Li Yi.

In the courtyard.

Li Yi first asked these soldiers to smash the salt stones.

Then he ordered people to build several large iron pots.

The iron pot boiled water.

Then he asked his soldiers to put the crushed salt stones in an iron pot to dissolve them.

The pot is steaming white.

Mine salt contains many chemicals. As people know, there will still be toxic chemicals after high-temperature analysis alone.

Generally, salt production requires high-temperature evaporation and analysis to become coarse salt.

However, in mineral salt, it still cannot be eaten directly. It also requires a most important chemical process, which needs to be mixed with brine to evaporate to produce refined salt.

Because this production process is extremely expensive compared to beach salt, official salt was sold very expensively during the Han Dynasty.

After the early Tang Dynasty, although the court no longer set up special"salt men" to control it, it still required a lot of cost for the people to make coarse salt, let alone refine the fine salt.

But Li Yi is not afraid of high costs, isn't it just brine? He can get as much as he wants. Anyway, the Li family is not short of money.

If fine salt is refined and crystallized, the pitiful cost is simply not enough for Li Yi.

This process is very long and requires repeated control of high temperature and continuous addition of brine.

This requires Li Yi to do it himself

……

In the courtyard of the mansion.

Li Yi is busy.

But Di Renjie and Shangguan Yi felt like mourning their heirs.

Now I have no time to feed pigs or grow vegetables.

"Senior brother, are we... going to die? Di Renjie cried sadly.

Shangguan Yi nodded and said,"Eat more potato stew these days.""

While talking, the two of them actually squeezed out a tear.

"Senior brother, are you going to take the Jinshi major soon?

Shangguan Yi nodded:"I'm afraid I won't pass the exam. I just hope my mentor can sympathize with me."

Di Renjie nodded:"No, look at my mentor, his eyes are all glowing green." Shangguan Yi suddenly said:"

Renjie, do you think that the salt extracted from my teacher's salt mine is really not poisonous?"

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and then said:"I don't think so.""

Shangguanyi said with a sad face:"Me too... What can I do?"

The two looked at each other.

Then they followed step by step to find Li Yi.

When Li Yi saw the two of them, the green light in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Coming? Come on, this fine salt has been refined. Try it and see how it tastes."

"……"

Damn it!

How does it taste?

Is it because our posture is more pleasing to the eye?

The two of them grimaced.

Looking at the white patches of fine salt, I couldn't help but be shocked. have to say.

This kind of fine salt is really beautiful!

This is many times more beautiful than the coarse salt sold by the five surnamed family members in the streets.

The most important thing is that it is clean enough and pure enough!

What might it be?

As everyone knows, the more beautiful something is, the more harmful it is!

Di Renjie asked tentatively:"Is it okay if I don't eat?"

Shangguan Yi agreed like a chicken pecking at rice,"Yes, you can either find someone else to try? Or find someone else to try?"……"

The two of them looked around and saw Xue Rengui who was playing with a knife not far away. They hurriedly said:"Look for Xue Rengui! Yes, he is more powerful! Brainless, reckless man! He has good physical fitness and is not afraid of death!"

Xue Rengui shook his body. His face turned pale and he peed in fear.

Just run away.

Retarded! Want to trick me? impossible! _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection,
