Wu Zhi purchased a secret recipe for salt making in the system.

As a modern person, he also knows a little about salt making, but he can learn more by purchasing secret recipes.

He did not hesitate to spend thirty points to buy the secret recipe.

After comprehension, he was indeed more comprehensive than what he knew.

In other words, the Song Dynasty was very strict with salt, hoping to reduce intermediate sales costs through monopoly on salt, and thus increase treasury revenue.

In fact, this system not only did not improve the financial situation of the Song Dynasty, but also led to the continuous rise of private salt.

The consequence of monopoly operation is that official salt is expensive, which is unaffordable for ordinary people, and the salt quality is poor.

In order to enhance everyone's purchasing needs, private salt vendors also compete with official salt, their prices are often cheaper and of better quality.

To a certain extent, it meets the people's demand for salt, especially some people living in poverty, who can spend a small amount of silver to buy high-quality salt.

In addition, there are restrictions on the sales points of official salt.

Most of them are set up in densely populated and bustling neighborhoods.

This is extremely inconvenient for people with insufficient production in remote areas or salt production areas.

Private salt dealers often sell along the streets to meet the needs of the people and facilitate the people to buy salt.

Wuzhi wants to produce a kind of salt that is both good and not too expensive, and seek violence from it.

Next.

Wu Zhi asked Zhao San to take a few people to a nearby mountain to pick up some salt ore and come back.

Then I bought some more things.

After all the materials were complete, Wu Zhi began to make them.

He temporarily rented a separate house, used an iron pot, and then filled the pot with water after lit firewood.

Boil ore at high temperature.

But it contains some poisonous gas when cooked.

It also needs to be analyzed and evaporated. Even so, it cannot be used directly. It also needs to be filtered through process and continue to evaporate the refined salt inside with brine.

In addition, distillation operations and analysis of refined salts are also required.

If you can't master the technology, it's very difficult.

It's not difficult to master the technology.

When it got dark, Wu Zhi was ready.

About ten kilograms.

These salts are not worth much. Wu Zhi mainly tests the results. After looking at Wu Zhi, he felt that it was fine, so he started to make a lot of production.

A wasteland near Mengzhou is full of salt stones, and no one cares about these waste stones.

Wu Zhi inquired that Shan was under the name of a large businessman nearby. They would not make these things and they had no value to them.

Mengzhou has many salt-making materials, so the ore is not very good. If you want to extract salt like Wuzhi, you don’t have this technology, so it doesn’t work much and is a waste mine.

Wu Zhi has made thousands of pounds in the past few days.

A pound is close to four cents and is worth at least four hundred taels.

This is quite a lot.

If it is mass-produced, it can be several thousand taels, or even tens of thousands taels.

Salt is a necessity of life. In the Song Dynasty, there were also many private salt dealers colluding with salt officials to make money.

Wu Zhi also took some risks in his behavior, but the salt he made was fine salt, which was easy to sell even if the price was slightly higher.

After the experiment, Wu Zhi asked Zhao San to find a private salt merchant in Mengzhou.

When the private salt merchant saw the salt made by Wu Zhi, he disagreed at first, but it looked good. After tasting it, the dealer's eyes were filled with shock.

Private salt dealer: "How is this salt made? This is several times more salt than the one on Mengzhou market!"

In the end, this batch of salt was directly purchased.

The private salt dealer also told Zhao San that he could cooperate for a long time and that he could pay a price of two cents higher than the market.

Money is a trivial matter, but Wu Zhi can see that it is indeed profitable.

If you make a large number of products, it is also a way to make a fortune.

However, Wu Zhi didn't dare to make the move too big. If it was too big, people would find clues. This would inevitably be a handle or be caught by Cai Jing.

But I found the way. After a good salt production in one year, it is astronomical figures, comparable to the national treasury income.

Wu Zhi: "Now my status is unstable, and Cai Jing is still watching him. The Yan road will definitely be successful in the future. As long as I get rid of Cai Jing first, I can be rich and can match the country!"

Wu Zhi thought about it and was about to go back.

After getting rid of Cai Jing, he will expand on a large scale and build a salt caravan that belongs to him.

But this is a big deal, so be cautious.

He has solved the problem of Mengzhou's grain, and this is a reward.

Then Wu Zhi took Zhao San and the people from the court to pack up their things and leave.

On the way, many people came to see Wu Zhi off.

"Mr. Wu, go all the way!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wu!"

Many people were grateful to Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi also smiled and greeted everyone, looking very honest and official.

At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out.

With a thud, he knelt in front of Wu Zhi.

"Sir... I have wronged!"

This man knelt in front of Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi was stunned.

As a minister sent by the court to provide disaster relief, he was also the top scholar in martial arts and a bachelor's degree. Now he has a certain right to take a group of officers and soldiers.

But this is the first time that someone has been wronged like this.

Wu Zhi looked carefully and saw that this person was over six feet tall, 24 or 25 years old, with a fair face and three willow moustaches.

This scene attracted the attention of the people.

"This is a kindness!"

"Yes, it's Shi En. Why is he still wronged?"

"You don't know, Shi Enhwahuolin Hotel was stolen, of course he was wronged!"

"Haha, they are not good people, are they?"

The people present whispered, and Wu Zhi heard it keenly, but his expression froze, showing kindness?

Isn’t this the person in Water Margin who made Wu Song drunk and beat Jiang Menshen?

The benefactor is called Xiaoguanying and the son of Mengzhou Cell Management Camp.

He had no official position, but he brought some death row prisoners to occupy the Happy Forest.

With the power of his father, anyone who operates here must offer sacrifices to Shixiang, and even sells his daughters. He can earn hundreds of taels of silver a month except for expenses.

Therefore, Shien is a typical bully.

The Shi family and his son make a lot of money from Kuaihuo Lin every month, but they are jealous of Zhang Tuanlian.

Jiang Zhong, a martial arts master, was invited from another place, and his nickname was Jiang Junshen.

This person is nine feet tall and has good skills, which makes him a good gun.

With just three punches and two kicks, Shi En fell down and occupied the Shi family's hotel, thus cutting off the Shi family's monthly offering.

Shi En was beaten and lost a lot of money. Although he was unwilling to give up, he had no choice but to do so. His martial arts skills were not good and he could not beat others.

This kind of bully depends on who has a hard fist against a bully.

Just when Shi En was depressed, Wu Song came.

Because of his crime, he was a prisoner, but he was a tiger-beating hero. Schnein immediately had a bright eye and made friends, which not only saved Wu Song from killing a hundred sticks, but also enjoyed wine and meat.

This is not a jail time, it is clearly a vacation, and Wu Song was moved to a mess.

Wu Song is a hero. He has always been a soft man but not a hard man. He has the mentality of helping the strong and helping the weak.

It turns out that Shi En bet the right treasure, and Wu Song, who convinced him, became a chess piece for him to retake the Happy Forest Hotel.

Or acted as a thug.

Wu Song beat Jiang Menshen drunk, Shi Enzhongba Kuaihuolin, and since then he reorganized the store and opened a tavern.
