Pei Yun was messing with something, and Qin Qier was doing something at the side.
After a while, he became gray-headed and gray-faced.
The reason is that what is being messed with is plant ash.
Plant ash is the ash left after burning straw.
This dirty thing in the eyes of others turned into a treasure in Pei Yun's hands.
Qin Qi'er didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from believing.
Just like yellow mud water can make sugar.
Yellow mud water is so magical, and plant ash can also create magic.
Because he is a young man.
So I believe it.
Just as Qin Qier believed, yellow mud water can create magic, and so can plant ash.
The magical thing about yellow mud water is that it turns brown sugar into white sugar.
The magic of plant ash is that it turns coarse salt into refined salt.
The steps are.
Dissolve the coarse salt, add plant ash and boil it, let it stand and then filter it to filter out the insoluble matter, and then you can get refined salt.
As for coarse salt, you don’t have to make it yourself, you can just buy it in the market, and then use the plant ash to make refined salt.
When coarse salt becomes refined salt, its value changes drastically. This is a way to make a fortune.
As for such a method, Pei Yunche used it elsewhere.
Pei Yun said that he would give Liu Jingye something useful, and if he handed over these things, it would be a credit.
And this useful thing is how to use plant ash to turn coarse salt into refined salt.
However, some modifications have been made.
Originally, plant ash was the ash left after burning straw. After modification, the word straw became rice.
The difference of one word is a thousand miles.
Straw is something no one wants and can be seen everywhere.
Rice is the food we eat and the foundation for human life.
Replacing straw with rice, this was Pei Yun's plan to deal with the Liu Mansion.
Would anyone really do this by burning rice into ashes and then using it to make refined salt from coarse salt?
It will.
As long as there is something beneficial, someone will do it.
Burning rice into ashes is a waste of money, but turning coarse salt into refined salt is making a lot of money.
The two cancel each other out, and as long as there is a profit, someone will do it.
If such a thing is used against other people, it may be a problem.
After all, it is difficult for others to obtain large amounts of rice and coarse salt.
The Liu family is a big landowner, and they have rice in their hands. Behind the Liu family, there are nobles, and they have coarse salt.
There is rice and coarse salt.
As long as it's profitable, why not do it.
As for using plant ash to make refined salt, it is real and effective.
This is a trap. If the Liu family and the nobles behind them really use rice and coarse salt to make refined salt, they will fall into the trap.
Pei Yun said that we must kill them all, which means we really must kill them all.
When things involve food and salt, as long as things like this work well, it's time to kill them all.
The bait has been put out, it's time to see if the fish will take the bait.
If you want the fish to take the bait, it is not enough to rely on Liu Jingye alone.
More illusions need to be created.
Hu Sisi and Nangong Qianrong were not in Huzhuang.
Under Pei Yun's arrangement, they are now running around buying rice and coarse salt.
As for the money for the acquisition.
The money he earned from selling salt was the money Pei Yun earned from selling porcelain, soap, and sugar.
This money is more than enough for purchasing.
As for Qi Xiangru.
Although he is a viscount, Min County is his fiefdom.
But he wants to be a good official.
As a viscount, the benefits he obtained in Min County were taken from the people and used for the people.
When it comes to money, Qi Xiangru doesn't have much money.
Of course, in this matter, Qi Xiangru is also indispensable.
Qi Xiangru's role is to establish contact with Yu Changsheng.
As an imperial envoy of the imperial court, Yu Changsheng's current position is to be the bridge between the imperial court and Min County.
Qi Xiangru is in charge of things in Min County, but outside of Min County, Yu Changsheng is in charge.
As for making refined salt from rice and coarse salt.
Those involved will be the Liu family and the noble families behind them.
The Liu Mansion is in Min County. Qi Xiangru can handle it by himself, but the nobles behind him need to rely on Yu Changsheng.
Let’s not talk about the lines of Qi Xiangru and Yu Changsheng for the time being. They will be needed until things actually happen.
The people working in front of me are Hu Sisi and Nangong Qianrong.
In order to create more illusions, the scope of purchasing rice and coarse salt is not limited to Min County, but also several counties adjacent to Min County have become the targets of acquisition.
If you want to do business with places outside Min County, one person becomes the key, and that is Sun Youniang, who is already the president of Min County Commercial Bank.
The plan was this: Sun Youniang asked the caravan to transport Min County's porcelain and sugar to other counties for sale, and then purchased rice and coarse salt from other counties and brought them back to Min County.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden from the prying eyes of interested people.
This caring person refers to the Liu family and the nobles in other counties.
Anyone who is interested wants to know the purpose of this large-scale purchase of rice and coarse salt.
As for the acquisition, Pei Yun was in the process of it before Liu Jingye returned to the Liu Mansion.
It was not until Liu Jingye returned to the Liu Mansion that some people finally began to guess that this was related to the production of refined salt.
Before returning to the Liu Mansion, Liu Jingye was as miserable as a beggar.
After returning to the Liu Mansion, Liu Jingye received generous treatment simply because of his great contributions.
When Liu Mansion asked him about his experience these days, this is what he said.
"That night, it was agreed that I would take the three of them to escape, but those three people were fools and actually brought the nursing home here."
"Fortunately, I asked one thing from the nursing home before they arrived."
"As soon as the nursing home arrived, I knew something was wrong, so I had no choice but to leave the three of them and run away."
"It was my wit that I didn't run from the main entrance. I climbed over the wall and ran into the mountains. The nursing staff kept chasing me."
"I don't know how I survived. When I think about the situation at that time, I still have lingering fears. I have thought about it. If I couldn't run away at that time, I would have no choice but to die."
"Fortunately, I can hold on...yes, I can hold on."
As soon as these words came out of my mouth.
No one can remain unmoved.
The tone and expression when he spoke were so frightened that he burst into tears at the end.
It gives people a sense of empathy and allows them to imagine what the situation was like at that time.
A man fled in the wilderness.
There are soldiers chasing behind me, and the thought in my mind is death.
How many people can survive such a situation?
Let’s look at Liu Jingye’s appearance as a beggar now.
It's really unimaginable how he managed to survive these days.
It is not easy for Liu Jingye to return to the Liu Mansion alive.
And more importantly, I also brought something back.
