"Salt is out! Salt is out! Lots of salt!"
Everyone gathered around the brine pool, cheering.
The achievement of a good harvest is always so joyful.
The salt workers' faces were filled with relief; they had finally lived up to their employer's expectations and produced so much salt!
Even the usually calm Feng Jian Qing Li blushed and said excitedly, "There really is so much salt!"
Wu Zhengqing shouted: "I'll go find Xie Ling and tell her the news!"
Having said that, he turned around without stopping.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw a carriage in the distance.
As soon as Xie Ling got off the car, Wu Zhengqing came running over and grabbed her sleeve, "Look, there's a lot of salt! Xie Ling, we really doubled the salt production!"
After she walked over, all the salt workers rushed to her and kept talking about salt, as if they were afraid that she didn't know.
Xie Ling smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Okay, okay, I got it. Thank you all for your hard work during this period. I'll have an extra meal tonight!"
When we arrived at another salt field, we saw the same bustling scene.
Even more passionate.
After the celebration that night, Xie Ling divided the salt workers into several groups and began to refine snow salt, secretly adding iodine to it.
Three days later, all the salt blocks were refined and became crystal white, just like frost and snow.
Xie Ling brought Gu Wei to the salt field.
Gu Wei looked at the snow-white salt, his cold expression slightly trembled, he reached out and took a little, and said in surprise: "I have never seen salt of this color, it is more beautiful than frost and snow, but it is just like this. Aling, you are amazing."
Xie Ling knocked on the table with one hand, "I have a plan to take back the right to use the salt field in Changshou Juntun. Lin Qianzhong and his men are coming soon, and two salt fields are not enough. I need to produce more salt to sell to the seven countries."
.......
Ever since Gu Wei and the others left, Wang Shouyi has been sending people to keep an eye on what's happening in Sinan County, not willing to let go at all.
Inside the tent, Wang Shouyi was chewing a pear while listening to his subordinates' reports.
"General, the spies reported that the military camp is being repaired in Sinan County."
Wang Shouyi sneered, "Repair the barracks? With the financial resources of Sinan County, there is no salt field and no trade, and he still wants to repair the barracks? This is really funny. If he doesn't do anything practical, he will just play tricks on the surface."
Wang Shouyi could almost guess what kind of cursing was going on in the military camp.
It seems that Zhou Shijing is not really talented, he is just a figurehead with better martial arts skills.
No wonder he was sent to such a remote place like Lingnan to work.
As Zhou Shijing thought about it, his mood became better and better. He chewed the pear until the juice splashed everywhere and laughed heartily.
"Sir, sir! I have something important to report!"
Wang Shouyi frowned and waved his hand to signal the scouts to go out. "What's wrong with the military advisor?"
The military advisor wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve. "General, what do you think this is?"
On the square green handkerchief, there was a pile of snow-white crystals. When illuminated by the sunlight, they reflected bright straight lines, as crystal clear and beautiful as jade.
Wang Shouyi glanced at it and said, "Sugar? I have never seen such white sugar. Where did you buy it?"
"No, it's salt!" The military advisor shouted, "This thing is called snow salt. It has gone viral in the Lingnan market. The rich are competing to bid for it. Now the price has risen to sixty taels per catty! I waited for three days and only got one penny at the Changning military settlement. Now the whole of Lingnan is scrambling for it. Even the neighboring Nanzhao Kingdom heard the news and sent people to join the market competition..."
As Wang Shouyi listened, he realized the importance of the matter. He quickly placed the pear in a bowl beside him, put some saliva on his fingertips, and carefully picked up a grain of snow salt and put it into his mouth.
His eyes lit up, "It's really salt! And it tastes better, not astringent at all."
"The taste is secondary. The main thing is that its color is so beautiful. As you know, the nobles in the Seven Kingdoms like beautiful things... If we can get the method of snow salt and make it in our salt field..."
As the military advisor spoke, ambition appeared in his eyes.
Wang Shouyi narrowed his eyes, "Where did you start selling this snow salt?"
