"You don't know about salt mines?" Liu Feng suddenly remembered that there is zero industry in the world here, and people who are struggling with food and clothing can understand if they don't know salt mines.

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

"Yes!"

Nicole immediately sent someone to question her. 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 for questioning, Liu Feng learned from An Li's mouth how much salt was lacking in this era, just like lack of food.

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

There is no method of drying salt in this era. A great sage discovered the existence of salt by accident when he boiled the sea water and left gray crystals.

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

A pound of salt, at least thirty copper coins, how many civilians can afford such a price?Most commoners buy a pound of salt in a joint venture, and then share it equally.

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

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

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

"Yes, Master, I know a place where the stones are salty."

Niu Ben hurriedly nodded, but at the end he was a little hesitant, "It's just, young master, some people used to eat that stone as salt, but in the end, they all turned purple and poisoned to death."

"..." What else could Liu Feng say?Anyone who can eat salt like this will give him a thumbs up, and he thinks his life is too long.

"Of course it is poisonous. It takes special methods to extract the salt, so that the salt will not be poisonous."

Liu Feng didn't have a good airway. In order to turn a salt mine into salt, it had to go through several steps. First, it was crushed, dissolved, filtered, and analyzed. The green salt obtained was a non-toxic salt.

"I'm going to pull a few carts of salt mines back!" Niu Ben turned his head and ran out immediately. His family seldom had access to salt, because salt was too expensive.

When eating at the City Lord's Mansion, Niu Ben often sighs that the young master is a prodigal son, who cooks with so much salt?Or salt as white as snow, which was unbelievable in the past.

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

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

Slaves are also a feature of this era, and many refugees have been captured and branded by human traffickers and sold as slave traders.

Liu Feng recovered from his thoughts, and saw Mina, Anli and Nicole staring at him.

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

"No!" ×3.

The three of them said in unison, and then the three of them all turned red and looked at each other.

The three are really in sync with each other. As for what they are thinking, only the other party knows.

"Okay! The salt mine hasn't come back yet. We need to do some preparations, and we should tidy up the backyard. When winter comes, there will be a place to enjoy." Liu Feng got up and stretched.

"What are you going to do in the backyard?" Nicole asked curiously.

There seems to be nothing else in the backyard other than the eerie flowers and plants that stay green in the fall.

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

The group went to the backyard of the castle, followed by some domestic servants, among them Lu Jiangtou, the one 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. He pointed to the place and said, "Let me dig it up until I see water."

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

"Master, why do you want to dig up a good flower?" An Li frowned, she was thinking about the intention of the young master, the young master will never do 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 which he thought of temperature.

If the backyard can remain evergreen in autumn, the temperature is a very important role, why should you try it boldly, if you really dig out the hot springs, then life will not be too degenerate.

"Hot spring? What is this?" Mina said blankly, it was the first time she heard this word.

"The water is out!!!"

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

Then the servant who was digging the soil suddenly heard a loud cry.

Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he ran to the place immediately, and soon saw a two-meter-wide pit with spring water slowly waving in 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 too?" Mina scratched her cheek.

"The springs I usually see are cold, but I didn't expect there to be warm springs." En Li was surprised.

"You will find out later, it will definitely make you fall in love with it." Liu Feng just shook his head. No matter what he said, it was difficult for the three girls to understand, so he decided to get the hot spring bath out, and then everyone would understand. .

"Jiangtou Lu, we need to build a house here, the design will be given to you later, and the spring water will be protected for me." Liu Feng ordered.

"Yes!"

Chapter 0074 Hematemesis big sale?

There is only one salt seller in Xiyang City. It is a middle-aged man named Yingya. He holds a bag of salt in his hand all day. He heard that it is high-quality refined salt. Salt.

"The civilian life in Xiyang City seems to be getting better and better. The salt sold in the past few days is almost catching up with the salt sold in a few months. It's a good phenomenon."

Yingya sat by the gate, watching the pedestrians coming and going. He watched them carry logs and rubble as they passed in front of him.

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

Yingya smiled and said, the street in front of him used to be very deserted, since the nobleman named Liu Feng came, the main avenue was sealed, and then the house was completely demolished.

Then people in the city will take the side avenue, which is the one in front of the Yingya store. He went to see it a few days ago, and there is still construction there. I 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 2000 people are repairing houses together. Can you not hurry up?

Just one thing, he felt very strange, how the mud was hard every other day, so he was very curious.
