Lord of the Oasis

Kant also affirmed his solemn appearance.

Whether you can borrow the boiled fine white salt to open the market of the Principality of the Lions depends on the first transaction between Manid and Baron Dylan. As long as it succeeds, it will be smooth in the future.

This rocky pass that connects the Principality of the Lion and the Naren Desert will become a shield for the sentry oasis.

Kant will naturally not believe that this shield is forever and reliable.

On the contrary, if he showed a decline, the shield would go back without hesitation.

The Baron Dylan of Hard Rock Pass, who can grow from a common cavalry from a foreign country to a baron of the Principality of the Lions in just twenty years, is obviously unrealistic if he really depends on the merits of war and has no brains.

But Kant doesn't care.

He dared to unite with Baron Dylan, as if seeking skin with a tiger, he had his own confidence.

As long as it can help him block most of the early attention and maliciousness, Kant can continue to stay in the weak early stage of the sentry oasis, and eventually grow to have sufficient self-preservation, the role of this shield is completed.

At that time, even if Baron Dylan does not want to continue to be a shield, the decision is not in his hands.

There are currently no urgent matters awaiting processing.

Manid got up, walked out of the ruling hall and began to prepare for the work of boiling salt tonight.

Kant is completely decentralized.

The technique of boiling salt is not difficult. The Salanders have taught Manid to find a few strong farmers and peasant women. The sugar workshop next to the wall is temporarily used as a salt workshop.

The farmers and peasants are busy.

Coarse salt in sacks was piled up at the door.

On the scale of nearly forty bags, they are all built into a half-meter high wall, occupying a small half of the street.

There are also oils such as charcoal, firewood, and fire, which are all ready.

The two stoves in the sugar workshop were also cleaned and stuffed with firewood and charcoal. They were ignited with grease, and the black smoke was discharged outside along the roof of the chimney. There were no clouds and no wind. The black smoke slipped through the sky and was quite conspicuous in the Nalun desert, which could be seen clearly half a day away.

It's like a wolf smoke for warning, or a signal that marks the location of the sentry oasis.

Gain and loss.

Large-scale salt or sugar making, because the black smoke produced by using a large amount of charcoal and firewood is thick and long, it is equivalent to tell anyone that this is the sentry oasis for sugar and salt production.

At the same time, it will let malicious people know the specific location of the sentry oasis.

It doesn't matter.

Anyone who wants to find the sentry oasis is not a problem.

In the male lion's country, there are still maps from the Jianshi Pass to the sentry oasis, otherwise Kant couldn't have been able to go deep into the Nalun desert without that person.

The expeditionary army of the Grey Mane Kingdom.

Perhaps catching a few low-lying jackals in the desert of Nalun can find these real natives to lead the way.

Although there is no GPS in this world, those experienced leaders in the army can still find the right way through the astrology and the sun, and many geographical details that ordinary people do not care about.

Kant is one of the beginners, he naturally understands the truth.

This is a negligible problem compared to the rewards and benefits obtained from boiling salt.

The salt boil continues.

If it is not the limitation of charcoal and firewood, Kant will even increase the scale of boiling salt.

But when tomorrow morning, the cooked fine white salt enters the Hard Rock Pass, on the return trip, through the relationship of Baron Dylan, a large amount of food, charcoal and iron tools will be purchased. The 6 horses prepared by Kant when he came With three carriages, they will return with a full load of these materials, ease the pressure on the sentry oasis, and form a virtuous circle brought about by trade exchanges.

In the sugar workshop, the speed of boiling salt is also accelerating.

The bagged coarse salt is poured into the iron pan and then into the spring water, which quickly dissolves into brine as the temperature rises.

Firewood licked the bottom of the pot.

The salt water began to bubble and boil, but the extremely unsightly gray foam appeared in the boiling.

These are impurities in the crude salt, and various other substances left behind when the saline land dries naturally are also the main reason that causes the crude salt to be so bitter that it can't be swallowed, or even toxic to cause diarrhea.

The peasants will deal with it.

Use a spoon to scoop up the froth and skim it off. After the brine is clear, pour it into a wooden bucket.

The charcoal has been neatly arranged inside.

Salt water with extremely high salt content is poured in, leaving only the last point, which is all gray matter, and it is a little sticky to touch. It is not the mud or sand, or heavy metal residues, which are not absorbed by the body. The impurities, after sinking to the bottom, naturally have the same result as those of the foam, and were poured into another wooden barrel and waited to be discarded.

Then clean the iron pan and continue to repeat the above steps.

In fact, the brine produced by these steps can be eaten after being cooked. Although the taste is still bitter, ordinary people will never care.

Most things like salt are consumed by nobles.

Once again, in the city, wealthy citizens with decent jobs will endure painful consumption and eat at certain festivals.

As for rural peasants, serfs without personal freedom do not belong to the salt consumer group.

If Kant is willing to sell these slightly bitter, but extremely low-priced salt, it will definitely be welcomed by most people, because these salt that even rural civilians can eat will definitely become a huge profit sweeping the whole country.

Although the price is low, the quantity is large.

Just like the salt industry of an ancient country, it monopolizes prices and allows ordinary people to eat salt while making profits.

But Kant will not adopt such a trade plan.

Or…

Why did he turn expensive salt, luxury goods that only nobles can eat, and precious goods that can match spices, into common condiments that ordinary people can afford and eat?

Although Kant controls the source of salt production.

But he is not a monopoly of salt production, and the distant dwarf kingdom also produces salt.

The Principality of the Lions already has businessmen who use this as a means of making money. This is their fundamental interest, and they will not let others intervene. This is why Kant will give most of the profits to Baron Dylan.

Attract the firepower of those who have vested interests and earn time for themselves.

And completely destroy the salt industry rules.

Turning salt into a seasoning for both rural peasants and serfs will completely detonate the conflict.

No longer commercial competition.

It is a complete subversion, even seriousness, that will cause a huge reaction throughout the lion's principality.

Those nobles who are above the ground are absolutely not allowed. Humble peasants are entitled to eat the same salt as themselves. Even if they look similar, in fact, they still taste bitter, it is absolutely not acceptable.

This is a social system of extremely strict class.

This is the hierarchical concept that bloodlines determine everything.

If Kant really subverted all this, even if only one of the symbolic foundations was moved.

The consequences are not what he can afford now.

This is his concern.

But Kant naturally does not want to subvert all this, because the fine white salt of the finest quality only appears in precious luxuries in noble banquets, and the selling price is even more profitable, allowing him to quickly accumulate strength.

Even if most of the profit is given to Baron Dylan, it can still bring huge returns!

Because he mastered the salt mine.

Just like now.

After the impurities have been filtered by charcoal, the remaining brine is poured into another iron pot.

As the firewood burns and licks the bottom of the pot, the water is rapidly evaporating, and the remaining salt solution becomes thicker and thicker, until finally the crystalline white salt begins to precipitate and adheres to the bottom of the pot, just like snow-white, looks Very beautiful.

The peasants immediately hung these salts with a wooden shovel and packed them in specially prepared sacks.

But the amount of finished white salt is much less.

Often a bag of coarse salt is dissolved and filtered, and then white salt is precipitated, and finally only half a bag remains.

Nearly half of the loss.

But because the price is so far apart, even if the loss is more than half, the remaining half bag of white salt, the price is enough to cover all the current 40 bags of coarse salt, which is hundreds of times of huge profits!

The appearance of the first finished product inspired these peasants and farmers.

The speed began to increase, and the movement became more and more skilled.

Seeing their exuberant and exciting appearance, the next morning, these 40 bags of coarse salt can definitely be boiled successfully, and turned into expensive white salt that is expensive but popular with nobles.

With Manid's supervision, efficiency cannot be reduced.

Kant was relieved.

Now he has to deal with another important thing.

Fatis has led his team back.

Behind the 50 Swadia heavy cavalry, there were hundreds of gray-faced, wolf captives with blood on their bodies. Following their fear, they knew that they had already experienced the horror of the heavy cavalry.

Without hesitation, Kant let Fatiz and caravan leader Jocelyn quickly reach the ruling hall.

emegency notice.

As long as Jocelyn's inspection is completed, the hundreds of jackal captives are officially acquired, and the number of 500 is enough, then the special mission from the kingdom of Wikya is announced to be completed.

And the 5 points of honor value will also be officially taken into consideration by Kant.

Kant has been eager to think about the big gift parcels that the lottery can get.

"Master Kant~www.readwn.com~Fatiz and Jocelyn walked into the ruling hall and saluted Kant.

"Well, well done."

Kant nodded to Fatiz with a smile on his face.

However, he turned to look at the caravan leader Jocelyn and said directly: "You have checked, I think these captives, plus the previous number, should be able to reach 500 people?"

"Yes, Lord Kant."

Jocelyn nodded and reported: "This time there are 103 captives, equivalent to 3090 dinars." After a pause, he continued: "The total number of 572 people is fully in line with the requirements."

"That's good." Kant chuckled.
