Chapter 19 The advent of iodized snow salt!

Zhang Shi was unwilling to come out.

According to his logic, if someone reported him to the police, he could not let him go in vain. The person who reported him would be arrested.

"I'm not going out."

He just chewed the dried meat.

The Jin Yiwei looked troubled and looked at Zhu Zhanyong for help.

Zhu Zhanyong gave Zhang Mian a look: "After the matter is done, I will take you back home to see your sister."

Zhang Xi took out the last piece of dried meat:

"Your Highness, did Officer Chen Ying arrest us? That old guy... When my eldest brother comes back, I will set fire to his carriage."

When Zhu Zhanyong came, the Jin Yiwei had already raided Chen Ying's mansion. I don't know how to deal with it, but if he was targeted by the Jin Yiwei, he would probably die.

Return to Xincheng Hou Mansion.

Zhu Zhanyong entered the front yard and saw a beautiful woman in a white dress in the pavilion. She had a heavenly fragrance and a bright and clear hairpin. She was fresh and gentle.

We met last time, but we didn't exchange a few words.

Zhang Shi followed Zhu Zhanyong, looking timid.

"I don't know what my brother has committed. He will definitely not tell me. Your Highness Zhan Yong, can you tell my daughter?" Li Zhilu asked.

Seeing the concern in her eyes, Zhu Zhanyong briefly explained the cause and effect.

Li Zhilu raised her delicate eyebrows and looked at Zhu Zhanyong: "How did Zhang Xi come out?"

"Of course it was pardoned by the emperor. Chen Ying has been imprisoned. Jinyiwei may have raided his mansion. There has been some chaos in the capital these days. Miss Li, please don't go out to visit the temple fair." Quietly, Zhu Zhanyong sent him out.

of care.

Li Zhilu, however, automatically ignored the rest of the words and only listened to the first half.

Chen Ying was a very popular minister and was deeply trusted by His Majesty. It was unimaginable that such a stable and important minister would be imprisoned. She raised her eyes and stared at Zhu Zhanyong.

This was the first time the two had in-depth interactions.

Zhu Zhanyong stared into her eyes: "I was the one who exposed it."

Li Zhilu looked at Zhu Zhanyong while digesting the shocking news.

She had a look of surprise on her face: "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending your younger brother back."

Zhu Zhanyong still wanted to communicate with Li Zhilu again, but at this moment, Li Zhilu's woman had not left the court and could not stay for a long time. He still had a sense of discretion.

Take the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Lao Zhu was very concerned about Zhu Zhanyong's marriage. Only when his wife is virtuous, gentle and a good helper can her husband build a successful career.

Lao Zhu deeply understands this truth.

1: "It is not a troubled time, but there are also such wonderful women who are calm and tranquil. Our vision is not wrong. This woman is suitable to be your concubine in the future."

Zhu Zhanyong: "Grandpa Emperor, my grandson has not yet established a firm foothold in the capital."

1: "Mrs. Xu, I promised you the fourth child. Now, what do you think?"

Three: "The appearance of this beautiful woman is not inferior to that of Diao Chan."

Wu: "The beauty is really outstanding."

Wu couldn't say anything good, but he also expressed his opinion.

Si: "I also agree to this marriage."

He said nothing.

This wooden head doesn't seem to be able to say anything disgusting.

Lu's chatterbox mode is turned on: "It's really pleasing to the eye to see the beautiful face. If I were the emperor, I would definitely bring her into the royal family... Such beauties are the easiest to be impressed by the talent of poetry and prose. If you want to win her heart..."

Lu seemed to know this well and had already begun to teach Zhu Zhanyong to pursue it.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked very serious.

1: "Let's see this girl's birthday."

Zhu Zhanyong: "Okay..."

Lao Zhu did not respond, and had obviously gone offline and returned to the Hongwu Dynasty.

You guys are not good at what you do, these netizens who are the first to eat melons... Zhu Zhanyong complained, but in his heart, he was thinking that when he went to the bridal chamber, he wouldn't be surrounded by these old snakeskins.

No, I have to find a way.

Zhu Zhanyong tried to divert the attention of these gossip netizens:

"Si, are you still short of money now?"

Si: "I'm ashamed, I'm still short of silver."

Zhu Zhanyong: "I have an idea."

Si: "What?"

Although the others were diving, they all took it seriously.

Zhu Zhanyong said: "The imperial court implemented the Salt Law in the south of the Yangtze River. Many salt merchants made a lot of money every day. Salt is a necessity for the people and they can earn a lot of silver."

Si: "What do you want to say?"

As expected, Si knows nothing except creation. It is difficult to survive in the late Ming Dynasty. If Si dies, I will lose the creation of heaven.

Zhu Zhanyong: "Create a business name and leave it to you."

What does the business sell?

Zhu Zhanyong first thought of salt. After the court changed the salt law, it became a big business. In the Ming Dynasty, many gentry started selling salt.

But with the creation of heaven, snowflake salt is too simple, so he decided to make iodized snowflake salt!

Among the common people, many children are born with low intelligence, far inferior to normal people, and cannot do farm work. This is due to iodine deficiency.

Zhu Zhanyong asked Lao Zhu to get kelp.

Lao Zhu was shocked when he heard that there was such salt in the world. He immediately sent it to Zhu Zhanyong without saying a word.

It was still the same secret code, the emperor decreed that Zhu Zhanyong received thousands of kilograms of kelp outside the palace.

Gather together a large pot, a lot of plant ash, firewood, live charcoal, and a tank of well salt water with sediment.

Everything is ready.

Zhu Zhanyong: "Si, I'm going to extract your [Tiangong Creation]."

Si: "I'm ready."

Several people were shocked and looked forward to it. They had never heard that there was salt in the world that could prevent dementia. Even Si, who was proficient in refining, was looking forward to Zhu Zhanyong's results.

Extract [Tiangong’s Creation]!

The familiar feeling and the confidence of rubbing the atomic bomb with my hands returned to me.

Zhu Zhanyong began to make salt for the imperial court and boil it directly to dilute the salt from the water and condense into salt crystals.

However, the salt produced by this method has a strong bitter taste and the common people do not like to eat it.

Because in this method, salt is grown in pond water, and when the south wind blows strong, salt crystals will form overnight, which can be eaten after being swept up. The person who grows the salt will hand over the salt crystals to the government.

The bitter taste is not removed.

In addition, it is necessary to tear the dried kelp into pieces, add wine and dry it to extract the kelp ash, and then extract the iodine.

However, one person was naturally too busy, so Zhang Shi was called to the palace to serve as his servant.

Zhu Zhanyong recovered his mind.

Looking at Zhang Jiu who was standing aside, he ordered: "Pour the wood ash into the vat, Zhang Xi, you are responsible for stirring it. Don't let it clump together. The firewood is too small. Burn it higher."

Never done it though.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanyong was like an old craftsman who had done the job thousands of times, ordering the workers in an orderly manner.

Zhang Xi blinked his eyes, good fellow, I have seen people boiling water, but I have not seen people boiling mud and ash water.

"Your Highness, why are you burning this?"

"Talk less and do more. Look at Zhang Jiu and he didn't ask me how you can do great things with me in the future." Zhu Zhanyong was afraid that he would do bad things and reprimanded his little brother mercilessly.

"Oh~" Zhang Min went to work obediently.

When the water in the large pot gradually boiled, the plant ash was filtered out with gauze. Zhang Xi poured out a bowl of smoking muddy water, and Zhang Jiu filtered it several times with the activated carbon he had prepared.

Zhang Xi poured it back into the pot.

Zhu Zhanyong told Zhang Jiu: "Small fire, small fire, and then make it smaller."

It took a full hour for the water to boil dry and the salt to gradually precipitate.

The snow-white salt crystals are pure in color, unlike the salt frosts in the imperial court, where the salt is mixed with yellow or cyan.

Thus, iodized snowflake salt appeared in this world.

Guard against unintelligent salt!

The most urgent thing is Si.

Si: "How?"

Zhu Zhanyong tasted it and could feel that it was done but could not taste the bitterness. The plant ash fruit could really remove the bitterness from the salt.

Although there is still a bit of bitterness, it has been covered by the salty taste and cannot be tasted. The people don't have enough to eat, so why would they care about this bit of bitterness.

Cut a piece of lotus root and sprinkle it with freshly made salt, which is blue.

Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth was dry and he was waiting for Zhu Zhanyong's answer.

Si: "Zhan Yong, why don't you speak? Tell me, is it done?!"
