These desert robbers are Kant's confidence.
He is very sure that he can definitely complete the temporary task of this system.
Because they are from the Sultanate of Sarande, the bandits in this desert country have long been familiar with the cruel desert environment and honed their skills in this vast sand sea. They can be called standard desert survival experts.
Going deep into the Nalun Desert, these desert bandits can provide great help.
As for the saline-alkali land and the abundant natural salt mines, Kant had already made up his mind in his heart.
It is imperative.
Kant was born in the Lion Principality, the ruler of the entire Principality, and the youngest son of the Lion Duke Cameron. Although he was not favored by his mother who had passed away, he still had enough aristocratic education since he was a child.
After all, he is a time traveler, he has been a human being in two lifetimes, and his ability to learn is extremely strong, which also allows him to understand a lot.
Just like now.
Once Kant obtained the information on the salt resources, he knew that he would create a storm in the Principality of Lions, which is mostly plains and hills.
Because the Lion Principality does not produce salt.
Moreover, bordering on the Lion Principality, there are several principalities that belong to the human territory, none of which have salt mines.
If you want to eat salt that brings a salty taste and satisfies your mouth, you need to import it.
According to the books that Kant had read in the mage tower of the castle, merchants need to go to the distant western mountains, which do not belong to the territory of the human kingdoms, but are the territories of the dwarves who are good at digging tunnels and metallurgy, and it is through these that the salt passes The stocky dwarves of about 1.4 meters buy them, and then continue to transport them back for sale.
These dwarves own a salt mine as deep as 300 meters underground. They mine day and night to meet the salt demand of many countries. They are the largest salt exporter on the mainland.
Therefore, among the human nations, salt is expensive, and it is not a condiment that ordinary people can enjoy every day.
1 pound of fine white salt can be exchanged for a strong and good horse.
More than enough to justify the high value of this condiment.
Spices with higher value, such as the top black pepper, can even be worth the same weight of gold in years when spices are scarce or wars hinder business lines, which is a luxury that high-ranking nobles should cherish.
Kant was well aware of this.
After all, in the 16 years since I came to this world, I have participated in many banquets, large and small.
But I have never enjoyed the appetite at all, and enjoyed the food with various spices, never before.
Although this world has swords and magic, all kinds of wonderful items, and fantastic races, it is still essentially similar to the European Middle Ages on Earth, with scarce materials and simple backwardness, a helpless feudal era.
"call."
Kant took a deep breath.
The throbbing in his heart was forcibly suppressed by him, and he regained his calm.
The reality is still here.
If he does not have enough strength, he will not take the initiative to contact the Lion Principality.
Those are hungry wolves.
A monster that can never be satisfied.
The truth of the crime of Huai Bi has been exposed in the previous life on the earth. If the impression of the barren desert of Nalun is broken, and the salt mine with huge profits appears in the eyes of the nobles of the Lion Principality, maybe a bunch of robbers who don’t know where they come from will be killed. Let him, the baron of the sentry oasis, disappear from this world.
Kant never underestimated the security environment of this world.
In a world where strength is everything, when a child appears next to a bunch of thugs with gold in his arms, what awaits him is self-evident.
"You still have to be strong."
Kant shook his head slightly, but with a smile on his face.
He has confidence.
Because the essence of the Kingdom of Swadia exists in his innate system.
This is Kant's golden finger!
"Keep busy."
Kant told the waiting Swadian peasant.
"Yes, Lord Lord." The farmer nodded respectfully.
But just as the farmer was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked Kant with the old clay pot in his hand, "My lord, what should I do with the coarse salt in this pot?"
These salts are raw unfiltered coarse salts, which contain not only sediment, but also various harmful substances.
After all, these are coarse salt scraped directly from the saline-alkali ground. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you eat it with the appetite of a wolf man, but it is undoubtedly a challenge for a human stomach with higher requirements. After eating these coarse salt, you will definitely have vomiting and diarrhea. Toxic reactions, more serious and life-threatening, are possible.
"This..." Kant was slightly taken aback, but his eyes were on the six desert robbers.
"My lord, we will boil the salt and turn this coarse salt into table salt."
But the six desert robbers did not live up to his expectations, they nodded very accurately and said: "It's actually very simple."
"Very good." Kant nodded in satisfaction.
The desert where the Sultanate of Sarande is located naturally has saline-alkali land, and those Sarande people who live in the desert have used certain principles for generations to turn these inedible primitive coarse salt into edible condiments.
All you need is a stove, two large pots, and plenty of charcoal.
These naturally exist in the governing hall.
Kant was also watching curiously how these desert robbers turned the primitive and harmful coarse salt into edible salt.
"Is it using charcoal to filter out impurities?"
But Kant also had a concept in his heart, and the basic education in his previous life was not in vain.
The stove was ablaze.
The spring water in the cauldron was boiled quickly, and these desert robbers also poured all the coarse salt in the old clay pot into it.
As the heat rises, the white coarse salt gradually dissolves in the boiling water.
However, the originally clear spring water in the cauldron also had gray impurities at this time, and the boiling water could almost be seen with the naked eye, and there were already many fine particles.
That's sand.
"Reduce the fire, let's use a small fire." A desert robber ordered.
Another companion was waiting by the side, and immediately reduced the fire in the stove.
The boiling salt water gradually subsided, and a layer of fine sand appeared on the bottom of the pot.
Salt dissolves in water, but solids precipitate.
"It's amazing." Kant nodded, this is a living application of knowledge.
After waiting for a while, the salt water gradually became clear, but the sediment at the bottom of the pot was already covered. It seemed unimaginable that the white coarse salt was so dirty.
"Prepare."
The desert bandit who was in charge of manipulating all this spoke up.
The other companions immediately brought another cauldron, but it was densely filled with charcoal.
This is the key to filtering out impurities.
The desert bandit took out a large wooden spoon and began to pour salt water into the cauldron full of charcoal. The action was fast and skillful, and eventually the iron pot was left with a thin bottom layer of salt water and a layer of dirty sand. .
"Basically done."
He told his companions next to him, "Take out the rubbish and clean the iron pan."
At the same time, he wiped the sweat off his face, turned his head and smiled at Kant: "My lord, wait for an hour, then change the pot and charcoal and filter 4 times according to this procedure, and finally dry the water inside, we will It can produce fine edible refined salt.”
"Very good." Kant nodded.
Looking at the steaming iron pot, the brine is mixed with the charcoal. These natural filters will filter out most impurities. After going back and forth many times, only the last brine is left.
And continue to heat the iron pot with fire to precipitate the salt inside, which is edible salt.
"My lord."
The desert bandit assured him: "These will be fine white salt."
"Very good, really very good."
Kant nodded, with a big smile on his face, which is indeed something to be happy about.
Of course he understands what white salt is.
understand its value better.
This kind of fine white salt, which is as white as snow, is expensive in the Lion Principality, and only those big nobles and big businessmen can enjoy it, and the price will definitely not be lower than 50 big silver coins per pound.
This is a luxury that only nobles can enjoy.
It is definitely different from the rough well salt eaten by wealthy commoners and those small landowners.
Not only expensive, but also a status symbol!
"I can not wait any more."
Kant had a bright smile on his face.
In half a day, the unedible coarse salt of saline-alkali land can be turned into expensive fine white salt.
As long as Kant masters the natural salt mine of saline-alkali land, then this is a huge profit of monopoly!
So he couldn't wait.
Although it is impossible to form a caravan openly and dump salt to the Principality of Lions in batches, but secretly use a small amount of fine white salt and sell it on the black market. I believe that many people will definitely snatch their heads.
This fine white salt represents more than just seasoning.
It is also the spell-casting props needed by the magicians in the mage tower, and the nobles ensure their dignity.
In short, Kant did not worry about sales.
PS: If you have any suggestions, you can share them in the book review area, and I will seriously refer to them. But this is a new account, so I can't reply, everyone forgive me...
