Chapter 327 How to Make Fine Salt!

Chapter 327 How to make fine salt!

"Prevent disasters in advance?" Huanwan suddenly realized as she recalled what she saw when she occasionally went out.

"No wonder I saw someone carrying some things into the warehouse on the side of the road before, and those warehouses were also guarded. My lord, what is that?"

Qin Yang replied with a smile, "That's industrial salt."

"industrial salt?"

"Well, this thing is poisonous and cannot be eaten, and salt can quickly melt snow. If there is a snow disaster, you can sprinkle salt to melt snow when the snow stops."

Huanwan was surprised: "Using salt to melt snow? If anyone knew about this..."

In this era, salt is a good thing!
Although salt is not as difficult to get as sugar, but in the Tang Dynasty, there were only three kinds of salt.

Sea salt, well salt, pool salt.

Sea salt is generally boiled salt method.

Well salt and pond salt also have their own salt production methods.

But no matter which of these three types of salt, in this era, it is a relatively rough method.So the salt produced is also the kind of turbid coarse salt with bitter taste!
Even such coarse salt is very expensive!
Under such circumstances, Qin Yang was able to take out so much salt to melt snow!

Qin Yang may not be the first to know that salt can turn snow.

But he is definitely the first person who is willing to use it like this!

Houhou's surprise made Qin Yang smile bitterly.

Can he say that he got all these industrial salts from the system?

He originally wanted to make fine salt more!

But the system doesn't give it there!

He doesn't even know how to make industrial salt. The total amount of this industrial salt is [-] tons. It was a gift given to him by the system after he chose "Eliminate the snow disaster in Youzhou"!

Therefore, these industrial salts can only be used to melt snow!
However, even if it is not used to melt snow, humans and animals cannot eat it!
This is also the reason why Qin Yang asked someone to guard the warehouse.

And, externally, he doesn't say it's salt.

"Don't worry, I only say that it is deicing agent, which is similar to salt, but it is not salt. As long as I kill this point, no one else can say it is salt."

Qin Yang smiled at Houhou a little cunningly, and said.

Wan Wan was a little speechless, but felt that what Qin Yang said was very possible!

Yes, this thing is poisonous, you will die if you eat it!
And even if someone tasted it and said it was salt, the consequences would be there!
It tastes similar, so it’s the same thing?That being said, many things are the same thing!

Is it similar to salt?If so, many similar things are the same thing!

Qin Yang's explanation is absolutely feasible!

Thinking of this, Wan Wan nodded and said, "So, it's feasible."

"It's just that, master, just melting the snow is not enough."

Qin Yang sighed: "I know, I know, so, before the new year, I will send people to check houses from house to house. If the houses are dilapidated and cannot withstand the heavy snow, they will be reinforced for free. At least, you can't really wait. The heavy snow collapsed the house before saving people! There is not much population in Youzhou that can be wasted!"

Wan Wan has no comment on this.

Compared with other places, Youzhou's population should be the smallest among all states and counties.

This is still the entire population, and the people of Youzhou who really belong to Qin Yang can account for [-]% of the total population, which is not bad.

The others have all put on the clothes of servants of the family, hiding in the shadow of the family.

Although in this way, they will be exploited by the family.

But he was able to escape all kinds of taxation and corvee from the government.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang sighed again.

But I know that I can't control these people, because the teacher comes from no name.

Even if he wants to help these people, if these people don't jump out and draw a clear line with the aristocratic family, then Qin Yang can't take the initiative to lend a helping hand.

After all, these people are slaves of aristocratic families!
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic family has many rights to the servants!
Within a certain range, even Li Shimin, who is the emperor, can only do nothing. He can only watch and not manage.

Unless Li Shimin himself knows the law and broke the law!
But as a person who wanted to be a wise king, he would naturally not do such a self-slapping thing.

After Qin Yang finished speaking, sure enough, within three days, hundreds of small officials had been picked out.

Let these small officials lead some people to conduct a complete census within Youzhou.

This census is not only to find out the situation of all good people in Youzhou, but also to see if there are any unregistered households.

Those who needed relief were also recorded. Immediately after they left, people from the local government contacted these people to reinforce their houses for free, and to condolence and relief to the lonely old people and children.

After the news spread, the people who were still a little panicked about this big census became excited!

Especially for those whose family background is not good, even if they have enough food, they will not go hungry, but they still have no money to repair their houses. After the census, they all received more or less housing repair subsidies!
However, don't think that once you get the silver, you can use it for other purposes.

When giving them money, the officials reminded them that after ten days, they would re-inspect their houses.

If the house that should have been repaired is still not repaired, and the money is misappropriated for other purposes, then those who violate the law will be punished!
As ordinary people, who is not afraid of going to prison?
When talking about this consequence, people who originally wanted to misappropriate the money for other things dared not.

So in the next ten days, the entire Youzhou was in motion!Everyone is working hard to strengthen their houses!

When the second census was over, the officials in charge reported the situation to Qin Yang, saying that all the registered houses in Youzhou had been reinforced and there were no dangerous houses. Qin Yang nodded with satisfaction and finally felt relieved.

Three more days passed, and the sky began to darken.

Half a month before the New Year, an exceptionally heavy snowstorm suddenly hit Youzhou.

Not only Youzhou, but the whole Northland was swept by the snowstorm where people could hardly be seen a few meters away on the road!
This heavy snow fell for three days in a row!
Because before the heavy snowfall, the census personnel sent by Qin Yang not only checked the houses of all registered good people, but also provided relief to the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

All families, at least have enough food and firewood at home. Even if they don't leave the yard for a month, they won't die of cold and hunger!

And this move, after the heavy snow covered the entire Northland, none of the registered good citizens in Youzhou died of freezing and starvation!

Although some people died, they were all normal deaths!
Then there is no heavy snow, and the fate is approaching!
Unlike other places in the North, although it was wealthier than Youzhou in the past, this heavy snowstorm destroyed many houses, resulting in the death and injury of some people!

"My lord, the heavy snow has stopped, can we use deicing agent to melt the snow?"
