Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 71 Purification
Zhangtai Palace.

Place the remaining half of the yellow-brown crystal on the table.

Xiao Zhinu decisively raised the bronze nobility.

The bronze jue, which was twice his own weight, was lifted up by the little childish slave, and the eyes of Xi were full of surprise.

And then, the little childish slave didn't care about being overjoyed and was dumbfounded, and even picked up the bronze jue and threw it at the coarse salt.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
After three loud bangs, the bean-sized yellow-brown crystals were quickly smashed into powder.

Qin Wangzheng was a little shocked, and he was relieved to see that the dragon case was unscathed.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zhinu put the yellow-brown powder into the Bronze Jue, then added water and stirred until the yellow-brown crystals were completely precipitated.

After adding water and stirring, pour the solution into another cup of bronze jazz covered with silk.

After a while, the silk was covered with gray-brown slag, and the yellow-brown liquid in the bronze jue was only brown, and the color became lighter.

A series of actions flowed smoothly and was repeated three times until the solution turned light red, which was the end.

Only such solutions can be eaten.

Xiao Zhinu obediently brought the bronze jue to Qin Wangzheng to taste.

Xi was still sweating for Qin Wangzheng.

Coarse salt purification, a project that has had no results for hundreds of years, was suddenly developed by a frog.

This made Xi unbelievable, worried that there was still toxin in the coarse salt, so he took the initiative to stick his head out and test the poison for Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng shook his head lightly.

The little childish slave is a divine beast, and the lonely king is the chosen child of heaven, how could the little childish slave frame the lonely king?
So, Qin Wangzheng picked up the Bronze Jue and began to taste it, carefully aftertaste it in the corner of his mouth, there was no bitterness, only salty taste.

This made Qin Wangzheng very happy, and said with a smile: "It's really salt, without any impurities, and it can be eaten."

After all, he stretched his waist long, the fatigue of the past few days seemed to come out from the cracks in his bones.

Xi frowned, took a deep breath, and looked at the little childish slave in disbelief.

Could it be that the little childish slave is really auspicious from heaven?

After a brief hesitation, Xi seized the opportunity and stepped forward to praise the little childish slave as the blessing of Da Qin, which made Qin Wangzheng burst out laughing.

Qin Wangzheng picked up a knife and pen, carved characters on the bamboo slips, and wrote down the steps of purifying coarse salt one by one.

crush, dissolve, filter
Of course, what the little childish slave is brewing is only a fine salt solution, and the most important step is still needed.

Parse!

Qin Wangzheng naturally understood, so he engraved on the bamboo slips "You can get fine salt by boiling the solution."

After finishing writing, Qin Wangzheng was filled with gains. When he moved his muscles and bones, he could hear the crisp and muffled sound between his bones.

Eunuch Ling cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! You have obtained the method of purifying coarse salt!"

Qin Wangzheng showed a smile on his face, and immediately issued an edict: "Order a thousand riders, rush to the salt mine, take out a hundred catties of refined salt, and use this method to extract edible salt."

If Xiao Zhinu's method is really effective and the edible salt is non-toxic, Da Qin will no longer have to buy Wei's pool salt.

There are countless salt mines in the state of Qin, and they can be put into use quickly after mining.

This crude salt purification method can convert inedible poisonous salt into edible salt, which can solve the problem of scarcity of natural salt mines in Qin State.

In the process of crushing, a treadmill can be used to quickly convert the huge salt ore into a powder with smaller particles.

The dissolution process only needs water, and water is inexhaustible, so there is no need to worry about raw materials.

Compared with seawater cooking, although the process is complicated, the cost is low and it will not cause death.

Qin Wangzheng expressed emotion, and the little childish slave has sought a blessing for me, Daqin!

A few days later, hundreds of Langzhong ordered the army to go to Yunyang Prison.

Thousands of prisoners complained, and were escorted to Beidi County with a face of reluctance to transport the salt mines to the surroundings of Xianyang City.

Looking at the mighty army of prisoners, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although these prisoners have committed crimes, if Xianyang City is in trouble, the prisoners can be ordered in the face of danger, and quickly form a large army to resist foreign aggression.

What Qin Wangzheng didn't expect was that more than ten years later, Qin Wangzheng's whimsical idea became a reality. It was the army of criminals composed of Zhang Han who beat the eighteen princes of the late Qin Dynasty into a mess.

Qin Wangzheng smiled gratifiedly, and stood on the tower looking at the afterglow of the setting sun.

At the south gate of Zhangtai Palace, a carriage drove into a carriage, followed by ten well-equipped Qin troops.

Yao Jia was ordered to escort Tian Sheng to the successful completion of the mission.

Yao Jia quickly reined in the reins, only to hear the horse neighing, followed by the groom also holding the reins, and stopped the carriage.

After a while, Qin Wangzheng went down the tower, and Tian Sheng saw his friend whom he hadn't seen for many years, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Tian Sheng was about to embrace Qin Wangzheng, laughing heartily and crying loudly.

It's a pity that Qin Wangzheng ignored Tian Sheng directly, walked up to Yao Jia, and said with a smile, "Mr. is indeed a pillar of Qin. With verbal arguments, the alliance between Yan and Qi was successfully signed, and the policy of long-distance friendship and short-distance attack was implemented. !"

Yao Jia smiled calmly, shook his head and said, "I just hope to do my best for the Qin Dynasty!"

After that, his face turned cold, and he said solemnly: "When I entered Qin from Han, I was chased and killed by a group of knights who came to rescue the young master."

The smile on Qin Wangzheng's face was fleeting, replaced by a stern look, and said coldly: "Who is it that dares to contend with Qin?"

Yao Jia narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but they are dressed in simple clothes, it is difficult to compete with the Qin army who has experienced many battles, so I can only watch the ministers and others leave gracefully."

The ferocity on Qin Wangzheng's face gradually disappeared, and he said indifferently: "The great Qin iron cavalry fought bravely with one enemy against a hundred. It will surely break through the six kingdoms and defeat the Shandong kingdoms one by one."

When everyone was indulging in joy, a cold word broke the atmosphere.

"King Qin is so arrogant!"

Everyone turned around in unison, forgetting this time that Tian Sheng was still there and had witnessed the conversation between Qin Wangzheng and Yao Jia.

Qin Wangzheng smiled coldly, his face turned into a piece of ice in an instant, and walked towards Tian Sheng quietly, his eyes were fierce, but he kept silent all the time

Tian Sheng felt a strong sense of oppression, and the hairs on his back instantly stood up. Looking at Qin Wangzheng's face livid, he instantly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

But Tian Sheng's attitude was firm, his eyes were piercing, and he didn't mean to admit his mistake at all. He said decisively: "My son entered Qin, and only then did he know about Qin's wolf ambitions!"

Tian Sheng smiled contemptuously, ignored Yao Jia's warning eyes, and still angered the King of Qin with words: "To annex the six kingdoms is wishful thinking!"

Qin Wangzheng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and when he walked up to Tian Sheng, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

A powerful murderous intention spread instantly, which made Yao Jia feel powerless, his eyes condensed, and he silently prayed for Tian Sheng.

Walking in front of him, Qin Wangzheng patted Tian Sheng's shoulder lightly, focused his eyes on Tian Sheng's neck, and smiled contemptuously.

Just when everyone thought that Tian Sheng would surely die, Qin Wangzheng would show an indelible smile, making everyone unpredictable.

This smile is not like Qin Wangzheng forcing a smile, nor is it a weird smile to "see off" Tian Sheng, but more like the joy of reunion after a long absence.

This made Tian Sheng vaguely feel suffocated. Looking at the moody Qin Wangzheng, he lost his composure for a while, and then lowered his posture and apologized.

But Qin Wangzheng didn't blame him at all, the smile on the corner of his mouth no longer restrained, he started to laugh heartily, and said lightly, "What's wrong, my lord?"

Tian Sheng bowed his head slightly, unable to organize his words for a while, but Qin Wangzheng continued: "Come! Clean up the dust for Young Master Sheng."
