Chapter 188 Jinshan worth 400,000 taels of gold!

The craftsmen at the Rock Salt Mine slowly climbed up from below, and gathered three soldiers, sat inside and outside the cave, took out tuna meat patties, sashimi salmon, etc., dipped a little rock salt, and started eating in big mouthfuls.

They have never used salt so luxuriously. If they weren't afraid of drinking more water when they were thirsty later, they would have wanted to throw the food into the salt and wrap it around before eating.

On the other hand, the craftsmen and the three men who were digging the wine jars were also smiling because they dug out twenty-five mud wine jars one after another, and it seemed that there were still many underneath.

Dad Lauren told them that once today's matter is successful, he will prepare the wine after he goes back and give each person a can of two pounds, and he will never go back on his word.

In the winter when the cold is so cold on the Hokkien Island, it would be an unparalleled and wonderful enjoyment if you could drink some wine at night.

They would not think that two pounds were too little. Before that, they could not drink one pound a year. The village was built by the village chief’s family, the cave was discovered by Young Master Bao, and the wine was dug by others. They just put in a little effort and got two pounds of wine. What else would they be dissatisfied with?

The cave could not accommodate nearly 700 people, so some three-time soldiers carried the mud wine jar to the open space outside the cave. Everyone looked at the mud wine jar, and people were swallowing from time to time.

What we promised was not only the group of craftsmen and Sanzhao in the cave on the left, but also two kilograms of wine for everyone present today. This made everyone still feel enthusiastic and full of energy even in the snow and ice.

The busyness ended until an hour after noon.

This is because everyone ran to the wine storage area to help, otherwise the 100 mud wine cans of the same size would not necessarily be able to be brought up until the evening.

We were all trembling with joy after all.

There is even more surprising one, that is, after the mud wine can was dug, the same high-quality rock salt layer was dug in the cave on the left. Moreover, it was dug seven or eight meters eastward and connected to the rock salt pit on the right. The rock salt veins that can be seen can be at least twelve meters long and forty meters wide, and the height cannot be calculated in detail.

Lao Lao's father made a preliminary estimate. As I saw in front of me, there could be at least five million kilograms of high-quality rock salt. If I filtered it again, I should be able to leave four million kilograms of snow-white fine salt.

The price sold to us by the merchants now is a pound of fine salt and a small gold quota. According to this price, we can sell a full 400,000 taels of gold!

Sent!

Sent!!

It is no exaggeration to pile up 400,000 taels of gold into a mountain of gold!

Now I finally understand why Master said that in the salt business circles in Rongxian and Fushun County, there is a saying that "Salt Mountain is a Gold Mountain" is circulating.

It's true!

That's true!

...

Because the wealth involved was too huge, we left three hundred three*** to stay near the rock salt mine, including one hundred Rakshasa strong men who were invincible in individual soldiers.

The rest were responsible for carrying the huge mud wine jars and the dug out rock salt back to Liuyin Harbour.

It was originally going to take three hours of ice and snow. Inspired by the extremely excited spirit, it took only two hours to arrive quickly.

While we were still having a meal, when we heard the news, the master who had discussed with Dad Lauren, sent three thousand farmers and three soldiers to push and pull wooden carts, carrying countless supplies and rushed to the Feixin Mountains.

People can not drink water for three days or eat for eight days, but if they lack salt, they will feel uncomfortable. This is why no matter how poor we are at the foot of Luoxi Mountain, we have to tighten our belts and buy high-priced and low-quality sea salt.

Therefore, a huge rock and salt mine can be called our lifeline. If someone takes it away, it will be a fatal blow to our morale.

Although this possibility is very small, and no one is fighting for the rock salt mine in the snow, due to the poor mentality that has not been changed, we must hold it in the palm of our hands as soon as possible, so that we should not fly away at all.

Of course, not all the three thousand people sent out stayed in the small valley of the Fexin Mountains.

Most of them went to build houses and tents for the craftsmen and soldiers stationed there, and transport various daily necessities.

The terrain of the small valley is relatively flat, and there are many stones around it, so it is not difficult to build hundreds of stone houses with kangs.

The temporary stone house is not as particular as it is. There is no table or kitchen inside, and it is all a bed with a fire kang, and ten people can stay in a room.

Two special big rooms are preparing for meals, and the chef also transferred them from here to ensure that they can eat hot food every day.

When the living facilities and storage rooms are built, the craftsmen and soldiers will come back, leaving only about 1,500 people stationed there. Then, a group of people will be sent here every ten days to send daily necessities, and while dragging back the rock salt they mined.

The craftsmen and soldiers who were mining and stationed were not static. We decided that they would rotate once a month to avoid the boring life for too long and their enthusiasm for labor will decrease.

In short, with this rock salt mine, we have at least 6,000 people responsible for the affairs of the rock salt mine, which makes them who are bored in winter have one more thing to do.

The rock salt mine will last at least one or two months before it can be fully mined. Another task we have now is how to deal with this super concentrated wine with a total of more than 1,200 kilograms.

December 8th, noon.

The day after we retrieved the super concentrated cream from outside.

After going to train and clean various places in the morning, I hurriedly had lunch and took a group of friends to my sister's laboratory with great enthusiasm.

How to turn concentrated balm into delicious wine again? Dad Lauren gave this task to his sister. He originally wanted to do it himself, but he had no choice but to have too many things to do at Liuyin Harbor, so he couldn't even get out, so he had to let his sister do it.

I am my sister’s best assistant, so I will not miss this good opportunity to practice.
Chapter completed!
