Datang ancient martial arts system

Chapter 267 Salt

"Is this the nine-turn golden elixir that makes people become the pinnacle of the earth level?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, who did you hear? How could this golden core make everyone directly become the peak of the prefecture level? In Yizhou, they became the peak of the prefecture level because they were almost all prefecture level people. Like Du He, it is not only At the peak of the Xuan level, giving it to Sizi is to wash the sutras and cut the marrow for her, laying a foundation, so that it will be much easier to practice the Tiancan Heart Sutra." Situ Changfeng explained.

"So that's how it is! The more rumors spread, the more outrageous it is!" Li Shimin said slightly embarrassed.

"That's true. Si's body is weak, and her internal organs are also weak. This combination of measures will not only allow her to quickly return to a normal person, but also have a solid foundation, and she can practice martial arts quickly." Situ Changfeng nodded and said.

"Si son, after taking the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, does it mean that he doesn't need to practice martial arts anymore? After all, this child has suffered too much since he was a child. If he can act like an ordinary person, the Ai family will be satisfied." The eldest grandson asked with concern.

"You're right, but your son is congenitally damaged. If you don't practice the Heavenly Silkworm Heart Sutra, even if you have nothing to do now, you won't be able to live long!" Situ Changfeng shook his head.

"Then let her practice." Upon hearing this, the eldest grandson gently stroked his son's head and said.

"Eat this elixir, she will fall into a coma for nine hours, just let her lie down!" Situ Changfeng said with a smile as he looked at Sizi who looked like eating jelly beans.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson picked up his son and entered the inner room.

"I have already known about some small actions of the Yang family, and all of this is expected. This time, the Western Turks dispatched not only the Tuyuhun, but also the Tubo. .

Fortunately, you have won a beautiful battle, otherwise, once the soldiers approach Yumen Pass, I am afraid that it will be inevitable to fight all around. "Li Shimin said gratefully.

"Your Majesty is strategizing, and the princes of the court are sitting in all directions. How dare you make a move. Your Majesty only needs to divide and break!" Situ Changfeng complimented.

"Divide and break! This is the consistent policy of the court. It's easy to say, but difficult to do. After all, the enemy country is located around the Tang Dynasty, and there is not much conflict. It is difficult to let them kill each other! Difficult! Difficult!" Li Shimin sighed road.

"It's just because they have no conflict of interest, only eternal interests, and no eternal friends!" Situ Changfeng thought of a sentence and replied casually.

"There are only eternal interests, but no eternal friends! Aiqing said so well, I wonder if you have a good plan to teach me!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Situ Changfeng expectantly and said.

"Your Majesty is just a little opinion! Please correct me! If there is something wrong, please don't blame Your Majesty." Situ Changfeng said with his hands clasped.

"It's okay to say I love you!" Li Shimin said, waving his hands.

"I think! If you want to deal with the Turks and the Huns, the simple summary is to win over a group, attack a group, and divide a group..." Situ Changfeng said referring to the experience of later generations.

"Aiqing, wait!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he summoned the living man, and then he sat upright and listened to Situ Changfeng's words.

When Situ Changfeng saw someone writing a record, he knew that this was a living room dedicated to recording the emperor and empress concubines. These were all materials for the historian who wrote the official history, so he didn't dare to neglect, and sat upright and began to play.

"I think that we can do more things to win over the weak and weak tribes who are close to the Tang Dynasty, buy their wool, and sell them some salt tea; for the divided and powerful tribes, such as the Han Dynasty's Tuenling, or send people to separate and buy them, Assassinate them, or sell them more luxuries, such as exquisite porcelain and silk, so that their high-ranking officials are greedy for pleasure; of course, the attack is on those small and large tribes. They are not strong, and they are just used to weaken their strength. Unexpected harvest." Situ Changfeng explained.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Aiqing's words are very subtle, but there are still some problems in it. Salt tea is not too much at present, how to sell it in large quantities, and attack their middle-level tribes, isn't it afraid that they will unite and bite back?" Li Shimin clapped his hands in admiration, and then excitedly asked a new question.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have a method to produce a large amount of salt. As for tea, we only need to encourage the people to grow it in large quantities, and it is planted in mountains and wastelands. It will not delay the cultivation of food, but also have an extra income." Situ Changfeng explained road.

"Aiqing's words are serious! There is really a way to increase the amount of salt!" Li Shimin got up and grabbed Situ Changfeng's arm, and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"How dare a subject deceive the emperor!" Situ Changfeng hastily assured him.

"Ai Qing, hurry up!" Li Shimin asked excitedly.

As early as the beginning of the conversation between the two, there was no one else in the hall, and now there is only one more living man who is writing hard, so the conversation between the two is not afraid of leaking.

"When I was in Yizhou, there was a salt lake on the grassland. The water was very salty, but it was inedible to humans and animals. If you eat it for a long time, you will suffer from various problems such as edema, blindness, or death. The herdsmen called it the poisonous salt lake.

Once, after a heavy rain, I went to check and saw many white particles by the lake, which were similar to salt, but there seemed to be many other impurities.

After thinking about it, I realized that it was the substance left by the lake water dried by the sun, so I asked someone to level a piece of land, pick up the lake water, and expose it to the sun.Sure enough, after a few days, the ground was covered with white particles. After tasting it, it was indeed table salt.

Moreover, the surface layer is the same as refined salt, and the variegated particles are all underneath.

So I collected the salt on it and let the Turks eat it for several months, and there was no problem at all. "This is a method that Situ Changfeng came up with when he discovered the saline-alkali lake. After many experiments, it finally succeeded.

"How is the output?" Li Shimin asked with concern.

"One thousand people can compare with ten salt wells in the middle of Sichuan, especially in summer! There is no way to do it in winter.

However, I heard that sea water is also salty, and there is also a big poisonous salt lake between Longyou Road and Tuyuhun.

And I was thinking, since the salt in the lake can separate poisonous substances after drying, can the salt mine in the mountain be dissolved in water first, or be exposed to the sun, or boiled in a pot to obtain refined salt. "Situ Changfeng continued.

"Good! Good! If it is as Aiqing said, the people in the world will no longer have to worry about lack of salt and food!" Li Shimin was so excited that his hands trembled, and he pulled Situ Changfeng's wrist vigorously, shaking and shaking.

"These methods are just my thoughts at the moment, and we have to send people to test the specifics. However, these technologies are not yet mature and should not be known to outsiders. Otherwise, it will become a joke if others walk ahead of us.

The salt field in Yizhou has been destroyed by the minister, only the minister and the personal guards know about it, please consider other places. " Situ Changfeng persuaded earnestly.
