Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 43

Chapter 43

In the kitchen, Zhao Gang kept stirring the salt water in the pot.

"Young master, do you still need to add water?"

Zhao Gang observed for a long time and said, "It should be almost there."

In fact, Zhao Gang is not sure either.

After all, this is his first purification, but it should be similar to what he imagined.After tasting it, the taste is even more pure than those with additives in later generations.

At this moment, Fusu walked in.

"Sir, if you don't rest on the bed, if your father finds out, I'm afraid you will lose your temper again."

Seeing that it was Fusu who arrived, Old Chen hurriedly prepared to salute.

Fusu waved his hand to signal him to get up.

"If Your Majesty knows what I'm doing, I'm afraid I wish I wouldn't rest every day."

Seeing this, Fusu leaned forward, looked at the contents of the pot, and said in surprise, "This is salt, sir, how can you make salt?"

"It's not about making salt. To be precise, it's about purifying it."

"Purification? What is purification?"

Old Chen quickly explained: "According to the master, it is to remove the toxins in the salt to make it taste better."

After hearing this, Fusu rubbed a little salt on the bottom of the pot with his hand and tasted it for a while without waiting for Zhao Gang's introduction, his face was full of shock.

Neither bitter nor sour, nor the strange taste of Qi Guoyan.

Salt of this quality is the best of the best.Even the emperor may not be able to eat it.

"Sir, do you know what this means?" Fusu asked in surprise looking at the crystals in the pot.

This is no joke.

If what Zhao Gang said was true, it would solve a huge problem.

The northwest is bitterly cold and the environment is harsh. Salt is a necessity for every family.

However, there is no salt production in the northwest. Although there are salt mines in some areas, they are all poisonous salt. If you eat too much, you will die.

Even so, in order to survive, many people can only bite the bullet and eat poisonous salt.

There will be 30 Qin soldiers stationed on the Great Wall in the north.

Soldiers guarding the border must fight. If you don't eat salt, you will have no energy and no strength. How can you fight against the enemy.

Therefore, the salt transported by Yingzheng to Yunzhong and Liaodong every year is a huge expense.

And in order to ensure the purity of the salt, Ying Zheng could only choose some good quality ones to send over.

The best salt mines in the world are Bashu and Hedong.The salt in these two places is not enough to supply the people in Guanzhong, let alone supply hundreds of thousands of troops.

Eventually, the price of salt rose repeatedly.

If the problem of eating salt can be solved locally, how much manpower, material and financial resources will be saved?
This is definitely an astronomical figure that cannot be estimated.

"Of course I know. Behind this technology lies endless wealth."

"It's not just wealth, it's the lifeblood, the lifeblood to control the world!" Fusu became a little irritable when he spoke.

"Is it so exaggerated? If you want to learn, I can teach you!"

Fusu was stunned!
With Zhao Gang's profit-seeking character, I thought he would open his mouth like a lion for such an important thing, but he was willing to give it up just like that?

Although Fusu is not a businessman, he also knows that this purification method will bring huge profits.

"Why do you look at me like this? I like money, but I'm not a fool. Salt making is beneficial to the country and the people, it is related to the great cause of the future, and it is related to the lifeline of the empire. With his majesty's great talent, he will never allow anyone to control this thing .I donate it, so that I can avoid my own disasters and gain a good reputation, killing two birds with one stone."

Fusu looked at Zhao Gang in shock.

"Sir, do you really think so?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Zhao Gang looked a little unhappy.

"I know what these salts mean to the soldiers on the frontier!"

"I, Zhao Gang, can sit safely in Xianyang because they risked their lives to kill the enemy on the front line. I don't care about a little money."

Fusu was startled when he heard this.

For the unification of China, he knows best what his father did.

In order to ensure the stability of northern Xinjiang, a large number of old Qin people left their homes and migrated to live in harsh environments such as Jiuyuan and Liaodong.

Don't be afraid if there is no road, and don't be afraid if there is no good land.

But the key point is that there are countless enemies and a climate that is extremely difficult to adapt to.

But that didn't stop the soldiers guarding the border and the people of Daqin who were willing to guard the border.

It's a pity that Zhao Gang didn't have the ability, otherwise he would have given every general and soldier of the Great Qin a Gatling.

Because these people are the cutest people in Daqin.

At this time, Fusu looked at Zhao Gang with a touch of approval in his eyes.

For a long time, in his understanding, there were too many problems with Zhao Gang.If it weren't for Ying Zheng, he would have kept Zhao Gang at a respectful distance.

But at this moment he realized that Zhao Gang is not a person who only seeks profit.

He also has this national feeling deep in his heart.

But at this moment, Zhao Gang in Fusu's eyes changed.

The color of admiration became undisguised.

He felt that in the past, he judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Sir, you are doing things for the country. This is what a country man does. Please accept Fusu and pay your respects."

Seeing this, Zhao Gang hastily declined and said, "My lord, this is going to make me sick."

Fusu said sincerely: "Mr. can bear Fusu's worship. With Mr.'s method of making salt, I believe it will not be long before the soldiers guarding the border of the Great Qin will no longer worry about salt. For Yu Guo, this It is already considered the lightest etiquette. If the emperor knows about it, I am afraid he will reward you heavily."

Old Chen also had a proud face on his face.

Although he knew that the master gave up the purification of salt, which was equivalent to giving up countless money, but he believed that this was definitely something he had thought about.

This is his own master, a person who is for the country and the people.

"What is worthy of my elder brother's praise, show it to me."
