Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"You don't know about salt mines?" Liu Feng suddenly remembered that the industry in this world is zero, and people who are struggling to make ends meet can understand that they don't know about salt mines.

"Immediately find someone to ask, and see if there are rocks and clods nearby that are salty." For the time being, Liu Feng can only find the salt mine in the most primitive way.

"yes!"

Nicole immediately sent someone to question, she always felt that something big was about to happen.

Chapter 0073 The era when salt is more expensive than people.

When Nicole went to ask someone to question, Liu Feng learned from An Li's mouth how much salt is lacking in this era, just like food shortage.

It takes a long time for many civilians to eat a little salted grain, and they have never heard of salt mines. Just relying on a little salt cooked in coastal cities, there is no shortage of salt.

There is no salt drying method in this era. A great sage a long time ago discovered the existence of salt by accidentally discovering that the seawater was boiled dry, leaving gray crystals.

Especially in the west, cities like Xiyang City that do not rely on the sea, if there is not a waterway, the cost of transporting salt from the seaside cities is horribly high, and then the grain merchants will sell it at a higher price.

A catty of salt costs at least thirty copper coins. How many commoners can afford such a price? Most civilians buy a catty of salt with several joint ventures, and then share it equally.

Orcs like Mina and An Li are even more difficult to talk about salt, they all eat wheat as light as water, otherwise how can Liu Feng's food be so attractive.

Soon Nicole came back, along with Niu Ben, who eagerly came to Liu Feng and shouted, "Master, is the salt mine a mine with salt?"

"Of course, do you know where the rocks and clods are salty?" Liu Feng affirmed.

"Yes, young master, I know a place where all the rocks are salty."

Niu Ben nodded quickly, but at the end he hesitated a bit, "It's just that, young master, some people used to eat that stone as salt, but in the end they all turned purple and died of poisoning."

"..." What else could Liu Feng say? Anyone who can eat salt like this, he will give a thumbs up, and those who think their lives are too long.

"Of course it is poisonous. Special methods are needed to extract the salt, so that the salt will not be poisonous."

Liu Feng is not in a good mood. If the salt mine is to be turned into salt, it has to go through several steps. First, it is crushed, dissolved, filtered, and analyzed. After that, the green salt obtained is non-toxic salt.

"I'll go and pull some carts back from the salt mine immediately!" Niu Ben turned his head and ran out immediately. His family seldom eats salt, because salt is too expensive.

When eating in the city lord's mansion, Niu Ben often sighed that the young master is a prodigal son, who cooks so much salt? It is still white as snow salt, which seemed unbelievable in the past.

He never doubted whether the young master could produce salt, but only wondered what else the young master could not do.

In Liu Feng's view, the era when salt was more expensive than people was a sad era. A stronger slave sold for twenty copper coins, which was not as expensive as a catty of salt.

Slaves are also a feature of this era. Many refugees were captured and branded by human traffickers and sold as slaves.

When Liu Feng recovered from his thoughts, he saw Mina, An Li and Nicole staring at him helplessly.

"Is there something on my face?" Liu Feng touched his face.

"No!" ×3.

The three spoke in unison, and then all three of them blushed and looked at each other.

The three of them are really in sync. As for what is thinking in their hearts, only the other party knows.

"Okay! The salt mine hasn't come back yet. We need to make some preparations. The backyard should also be tidied up. Only when winter comes can there be a place to enjoy it." Liu Feng got up and stretched.

"Do you want to do something in the backyard?" Nicole asked curiously.

There seems to be nothing else in the backyard except for the weird flowers and plants that keep green in the fall.

"Go and have a look and you'll find out, call more people to work." Liu Feng ordered.

A group of people went to the backyard of the castle, followed by some domestic servants, including Carpenter Lu, who helped burn the cement and begged Liu Feng to accept him as a servant.

The back garden of the castle is very large, bigger than a football field, and there are some landscapes made of rocks, and a stream introduced from the outside is flowing.

Liu Feng looked at the green flowers and plants in the garden, and soon saw one of the greenest flowers and plants, pointing to that place and said, "Have someone dig it up for me until there is water."

The servants started working immediately, and the master spoke, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, even if they were asked to jump into the river, they would not hesitate.

"Young master, why do you dig up such a beautiful flower?" An Li frowned, she was thinking about the young master's intentions, the young master never does useless things.

"Hot spring!" Liu Feng smiled mysteriously.

In fact, this is just his guess. The reason why the leaves fall in autumn is the change of climate temperature. Among them, he thought of temperature.

The backyard can keep evergreen in autumn, so the temperature is a very important role, no matter what you have to try it boldly, if you really dig out the hot spring, then life will not be too depraved.

"Hot Spring? What is this?" Mina asked blankly, this was the first time she had heard of this term.

"The water is out!!!"

"Wow! The water is hot, so hot!"

Then there was a sudden yell from the servant who was digging the soil.

Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he ran to that place immediately, and soon saw a two-meter-wide pit with spring water slowly bubbling from it.

"Sure enough, there is a hot spring!" Liu Feng couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"This is the hot spring? Can it be used for drinking?" Mina scratched her cheek.

"The spring water I usually see is cold, but I didn't expect the spring water to be warm." An Li said in surprise.

"You guys will know in the future, it will definitely make you fall in love with this place." Liu Feng just shook his head, no matter what he said, these three girls were hard to understand, so he decided to get the hot spring bath out, and then everyone would understand .

"Carpenter Lu, a house is going to be built here, and the blueprint will be given to you later, and the spring water will be protected by me," Liu Feng ordered.

"yes!"

Chapter 0074 Hematemesis sale?

There is only one salt seller in Xiyang City. It is a middle-aged man named Yingya. He always holds a bag of salt in his hand. Salt.

"The life of civilians in Xiyang City seems to be getting better and better. The salt sold in the past few days has almost caught up with the salt sold in a few months. It is a good sign."

Ying Ya sat by the gate, watching the pedestrians coming and going. He watched them pass by carrying logs and gravel.

"Hurry up and work hard to earn more money, otherwise how can you afford salt?"

Ying Ya smiled and said, the street in front of him was very deserted before, since the nobleman named Liu Feng came, the main avenue was sealed off, and all the houses were demolished.

Then people in the city will take the avenue on the side, which is the one in front of the Yingya shop. He went to see it a few days ago, and there is still construction there. He heard that the houses on both sides of the main avenue are about to be repaired. furnish.

There are still a few places called residential quarters, and the houses are coming to an end. More than 2,000 people are building houses together. Can you not hurry up?

Just one thing, he felt very strange, how the mud became hard every other day, which made him very curious.
