Chapter 277: The Emperor Is Not as Prestige as He Is
But Wei Zheng obviously would not be proper.
In other words, he saw too many miracles in Zhao Chen.
This time the emperor said that Zhao Chen could make more official salt, and Wei Zheng had no doubt.
Even saying that there is still a hint of gratitude in this heart.
Because Datang's official salt is not enough to supply the people of Datang.
If Zhao Chen really has a way to increase the output of official salt, it is naturally the blessing of the people of the entire Tang Dynasty.
What is his dispute with Zhao Chen?
"Zhao County Hou Wisdom is excellent, the means are shocking, and Wei Zhengzhi has been in the world!" Wei Zheng and Zhao Chen arched.
This is even more annoyed by the emperor.
Feelings, Wei Zheng believes that Zhao Chen is the boy, but does he not believe in his emperor?
Li Shimin wanted to ask who is the master of this Tang Dynasty.
The remaining officials who came with them together heard that Wei Zheng's words were surprised and funny.
In Wei Zheng's eyes, the emperor was not as prestigious as Zhao Chen in front of him.
I don't say anything about the emperor.
All this seems too unusual!
"Zhao Chen, I waited today, just want to see how you get these fine salt." Li Shimin converged and looked at Zhao Chen.
The rest also fell on Zhao Chen, showing the color of expectations.
"Well, we go to the Weishui River at 20 miles away. Where is there a salt mine!" Zhao Chen nodded.
Nympho
A group of people came to the banks of the Weishui River.
On the banks of the Weishui River, Li Shimin was very touched.
In the first year of Zhenguan, less than two months when he came to the emperor, the Turkic army attacked to the other side of the river.
For the two armies, Li Shimin gave a lot of gifts and spent some thoughts, and then scared away Li Khan.
At that time, Li Shimin thought that he would destroy the Turks one day in the morning and evening.
He did it later.
Now when I get to the old land, Li Shimin's heart is full of emotions.
"Your Majesty, the time has passed fast. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than eight years." Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin sighed.
In eight years, things are wrong.
Many familiar people are far away from them and can never see it again.
"You and I are all old. In a few years, Datang is the world of their young people!" Li Shimin sighed, his eyes fell in the direction of Zhao Chen in front.
Zhao Chen was sitting on the side of the salt mine. Cheng Zhemo and Qin Huaiyu went to the mine and tapped the salt block with a big knife.
"His Majesty is not ordinary in Zhao County.
In fact, there is also a test.
The emperor's attitude towards Zhao Chen has far surpassed the friendship of the monarchs.
According to their ideas, no matter how good the relationship between the two people, it must not be contrary to the differences between the monarchs and ministers.
Regardless of what Zhao Chen was doing strange things, saying that people couldn't touch the mind, the emperor passed by with a smile.
Sometimes, sometimes it is already the majesty of the emperor, and the emperor does not investigate.
Coupled with the similarity of Zhao Chen and the emperor when he was young, it was difficult for Fang Xuanling to have no other thoughts.
"Zhao Chen is a strange man. If there is no him, Datang will not have such a big change. He is free to get some unimportant rules!" Li Shimin said lightly, it seems that Fang Xuanling did not notice Fang Xuanling’s.
Try.
Fang Xuanling frowned, the emperor's words were equivalent to saying nothing to himself.
Because these are all on the right side!
"His Majesty……"
"They come up!" Li Shimin got up and walked to Zhao Chen.
Cheng Zhemo and Qin Huaiyu held two pieces of salt mines, and the carriage brought from Chang'an City came here.
The materials on the carriage are very rich.
In addition to the sieve, hammer, iron tongs, hemp, charcoal, wooden barrel, iron pot, and even a few hands.
Check it carefully, and there are a lot of things you need.
Turned to look at Li Shimin and others, saying, "Salt, raise your hand, don't blink."
Li Shimin showed joy.
The more Zhao Chen is, the more it proves that he can get the salt out.
Because the terrain here is uneven, it is high and low, which is not conducive to salt.
Zhao Chen led everyone and went to the flat ground.
The terrain here is stable, and all the equipment is placed here.
"Lao Cheng, Xiao Qin, help break the salt mine a little, too big, can't let go!" Zhao Chen shouted with the two.
Compared to others, Cheng Zhemo and Qin Huaiyu have long believed that Zhao Chen can make salt.
After all, before they came here, they had seen those salt that had better quality than official salt in the backyard of the tavern.
The two picked up the hammer from the side and started to smash.
"His Majesty, what is the origin of Zhao Chen, is it reliable?" Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, also came today.
He really didn't believe that a teenager would have this ability.
Can salt be made?
Isn't this a night?
"Zhao Chen is the shopkeeper of the Chang'an City tavern.
"Because of them, Zhao Chen's craftsmanship surpasses them far away, comparable to Luban!" Chang Sun Wuji explained, his eyes looked at Zhao Cheng's eyes full of surprise.
"I just saw a few faces before. On the Tai Chi Hall, I only thought that he was talented and reacted with agile. It seemed to have never heard of this salt!" Li Xiaogong still didn't believe it.
If this salt can be so easy, Datang, and even the previous dynasties, will not always increase the yield of salt.
Li Shimin didn't speak, but after listening to Li Xiaogong's words, he was a little worried.
As Li Xiaogong said, Zhao Chen has never heard of the means of salt, he has never heard of it.
And, is it so simple to make salt?
Everyone is not talking anymore, everyone is staring at Zhao Chen in front of them.
"Look at the process, I only do it once." Zhao Chen shouted.
Take the small hammer in your hand and carefully smash the large salt mine into small grains.
The appearance of about ten pounds, shouted Qin Huaiyu, poured the salt ore into the stone eye.
Qin Huaiyu shook his hand and turned around.
The brown ore powder overflows slowly from the edge of the stone mill.
Poster the ore powder into the wooden barrel, add water, stir with a wooden stick, let the salt be fully melted into the water, and wait for the solution to be saturated, pour it into another wooden barrel with double layer of hemp cloth.
After a while, all the gray -black slag on the hemp cloth.
Remove the solemn cloth, the solution in the barrel becomes brown, the color is lighter, but the impurities are still many.
Another four layers of linen were covered on a wooden barrel, filtered again, leaving a light red solution.
The impurities have been filtered clean, and the next step is to take dehydration.
After taking a huge funnel, Qin Huaiyu was instructed to smash charcoal.
Qin Huaiyu hasn't started, Cheng Qia Mo has smashed the charcoal first.
Zhao Chen wrapped the charcoal particles with four layers of hemp cloth into the funnel, squeezed tightly, found a shelf, fixed the funnel on the shelf, and poured the solution into the funnel.
After a while, the light blue solution slowly flowed out, and it tasted a taste. Yes, only salty, no bitterness. Although it lost some salt during the process, it can ensure that the cooked salt is absolutely edible.
