Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

As for the other things, Ying Ya didn't understand. He only knew that salt could be sold more now, and those commoners who helped the city lord to work had already saved some copper coins.

"Now a catty of salt is 30 copper coins, does the price need to add 1 copper coin?"

Ying Ya has been thinking about this issue for three or four days. It is normal for a businessman to raise prices or something. Just don’t be like those stupid grain merchants. He also went to see the hanging that day. He dared to murder nobles.

"The purchase price from Haiyan City is five copper coins per catty. The cost of transporting it to Xiyang City is ten copper coins per catty, and only twenty copper coins are earned. When will you earn enough money for retirement? See You still have to raise the price!"

Haiyan City is an alleyway city near the sea. It is one of the largest cities in the Kingdom. It is rich in sea salt. There are countless sea salt shipped from Haiyan City every year. There are as many salt merchants as Ying Ya.

In fact, Yingya is very envious of the shops in the big market, which is the most crowded place in Xiyang City, what a pity! He refused to sell the store, only rented it out, and had to pay taxes.

This is what makes him unacceptable. Originally, he earns 20 copper coins, which is already very little, and he still has to pay taxes. How can he accept it? Anyway, Xiyang City is the only one who sells salt. If you don’t go to the big market, there will be people Come buy salt.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

A sound of horseshoes sounded, awakening the calculating Ying Ya, he looked towards the direction of the avenue, and saw four or five carriages pulling things coming.

"Huh? Isn't that the steward Niu? What made him come out?" Ying Ya knew that Niu Ben was the butler of the city lord Liu Feng, and he rarely left the city lord's mansion. Niu Ben would only go out when he heard that something important happened.

"The things in the carriage must be very precious, right? They were escorted by the steward Niu." Ying Ya got up and looked at the carriage, but it was a pity that Mai Xi blocked it.

Niu Ben also saw Ying Ya, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head silently. He was afraid that this salt merchant would soon vomit blood and sell it for a big sale.

Or, he wants to leave Xiyang City and sell salt in other cities, or he will go bankrupt and lose all his money.

Ying Ya scratched his head, and he also saw Niu Ben's smile. His intuition of doing business for many years gave him a bad premonition.

"Could it be that the city wants to attack me? Is this impossible? Isn't he afraid to scare away other businessmen?"

"Tat Tat Tat..."

"boom!"

A few carriages went away, leaving behind a cranky Ying Ya, who happened to see something fall from the carriage, so he hurried up to pick it up.

"Stone? Could it be an ore? Could it be a gemstone mine that can send Steward Niu out?" Ying Ya's eyes lit up, she immediately hid the stone in her arms, strode back to the shop, and closed the shop.

Niu Ben didn't know that he had lost a piece of salt ore and it was put away like a treasure. At this time, he drove all the carriages into the scientific research department of the military camp.

Being able to produce salt from salt ore is a big change, and it is the best choice in the heavily guarded scientific research department.

When Liu Feng came, all the salt mines on the carriage were unloaded, piled up like small hills.

"Master, do you think it's enough? If it's not enough, I'll get someone to take it a few more times." Niu Ben said in a deep voice. He went on the first trip in person, which shows how much he values ​​salt.

"That's enough. After the salt is refined, it will be enough for thousands of people for many days. Next time we will make salt, we will roughly refine it on the spot before moving to another place."

Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction. It is impossible for him to release some things, otherwise they will become tools for other nobles to make money. He is the one who wants to promote them, and when the time comes, his promotion will be unimaginable by others. With a good reputation, the nobles can't make money.

"I'll send someone to watch." Niu Ben is not a bad person, he knows who he is loyal to, and he doesn't believe that the young master is the kind of person who takes advantage of money.

Because, young master, it should not be too easy to make money. Watches, crystal glass cups, compound hunting bows, etc., if you miss out any one, you can earn tens of thousands of gold coins.

But young master, he didn't do this, and he wanted to reward them with these fetishes. Where can he find such a master? The whole world may only find such one.

"Don't worry, the price of the salt produced will not be very high, and it will definitely make salt affordable for everyone." Liu Feng smiled lightly.

Chapter 0075 Alien version of the salt method.

Mina squatted in front of the salt mine, looking at the black ore, it was difficult for her to connect the white salt.

"Master, is the salt we eat coming from here?" Mina asked softly, she was also relaxed now, and she didn't have the nervous feeling that she had in the morning.

"Isn't it incredible?" Liu Feng sighed, "Actually, this world is more complicated than you seem. In my hometown, people can go to the sky and enter the earth, and they can appear hundreds of miles away in a day."

"What? How is this possible?" Nicole's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide.

If it's something else, forget it, flying into the sky, appearing hundreds of miles away in a day, it's a bit scary.

"Hahaha... nothing is impossible, maybe we can do it in the future? Well, maybe..."

Liu Feng smiled brightly. With zero industrial foundation here, it is really a bit whimsical for him to build small planes, excavators, etc., but other methods can be tried.

"Feitian, could it be the bird orcs? But I haven't heard of any bird orcs for a long time." An Li frowned and asked in confusion.

Liu Feng blinked his eyes, and said awkwardly, "Bird orcs? Winged orcs?"

"Eh? Master, have you seen them?" Mina said in surprise, "I haven't seen them for five or six years."

"No, I haven't seen one. The orc I saw for the first time was Mina." Liu Feng shook his head. He suddenly realized that he knew too little about this world, and there were even winged orcs.

"They are the freest orcs. It's a pity that they all disappeared when the extreme cold storm hit five years ago."

Mina said sadly that the orcs are very envious of the bird-clan orcs, because they can have fun in the sky freely.

"Okay, don't think about sad things, let's start making salt now." Liu Feng quickly changed the subject.

Going on like this, God knows how many sad memories will be involved, this is not a happy day, the animal ear girl still looks cuter when she smiles.

"Then how?" Enri said excitedly, she was interested in some weird research sessions, and recently she started pestering Nicole to teach her how to make sweets.

"Bring in all the tools first!" Liu Feng shouted.

Immediately someone ran to move things, and soon a lot of things were brought in, such as salt sieves, hammers, sackcloth, charcoal, wooden barrels, iron pots, and stone mills for grinding wheat, etc.

Then the gate was guarded by soldiers, and those who stayed in the house could be trusted. Every time Liu Feng had something to do or planned to decorate, the gate would be guarded, and even the roof would be guarded.

"Let's start now!"

Liu Feng took a small hammer and smashed the large pieces of salt mine into small grains, about a dozen kilograms, and then poured them into the stone mill. While adding water, he vigorously turned the stone mill.

After Mina saw it, she took the initiative to push the stone mill, and easily turned the stone mill creakingly. Even the orcs of the cat race who are not good at strength are stronger than the human race.

The salt mine that has been ground by the stone mill is turned into powder, and after being washed by water, the gray-black turbid water flows into the barrel under the stone mill with the ore fragments. After more than ten catties of salt mine fragments are ground , got a whole bucket of cloudy water.

"This..." The people present couldn't understand this operation at all, and they didn't see any shadow of Yan.

Liu Feng took another wooden barrel, covered it with two or three layers of sackcloth, and then poured the muddy water into it, and soon the sackcloth filtered out a lot of slag.

The muddy water in the bucket also changed color, it was no longer gray and black, but brown.

"Huh! The color has become lighter." An Li quickly took out a notepad and quickly wrote on it.

"The salt is all in the water. The reason everyone sees that the salt is not white is because there are too many impurities in the water." Liu Feng paused and explained to everyone.

Then he picked up another wooden barrel, covered it with six or seven layers of sackcloth, poured water into it again, and the color changed again, becoming light brown and a little reddish.

"Now the water is relatively clean, most of the impurities have been filtered, and then the next step is to get rid of some toxic impurities in the water."
