Lord of the Oasis

Chapter Thirteen. The Wisdom of the Sarandians

These desert robbers are Kant's confidence.

He is absolutely certain that he can absolutely complete the temporary task of this system.

Because they came from the Sultanate of Sarand, the robbers in this desert country have long been familiar with the cruel desert environment, and honing their skills in this vast sandy sea can be regarded as standard desert survival experts.

Deep into the Narun Desert, these desert robbers can be of great help.

As for the saline-alkali land, the sufficient natural salt mine, Kant had already made up his mind in his heart.

A must.

Kant was born in the Principality of the Lion and is the ruler of the entire principality. The youngest son of Cameron, Duke of the Lion, although he was not favored by his deceased mother, he still had enough aristocratic education and various studies since childhood.

After all, he is a transmigrator. He has lived in two lifetimes. He has a very strong learning ability, and he also understands a lot.

Just like now.

Having obtained information on the salt resources, Kant knew that he would create a storm in the Principality of Lions, a country mostly filled with plains and hills.

Because the lion principality does not produce salt.

In addition, it borders the Principality of Lions, and there are no salt mines in all the principalities that belong to the human region.

If you want to eat salt that brings a salty taste and satisfies your tongue, you need to import it.

According to the books Kant had read in the castle mage tower, the merchants needed to go to the distant western mountains, which were not the territory of the human kingdoms, but the territory of the dwarves who were good at digging tunnels and metallurgy, and it was through these The sturdy dwarves about 1.4 meters in size bought them, and then continued to transport them back for thousands of miles to sell.

These dwarves own a salt mine that is 300 meters deep underground. They mine it day and night to meet the salt needs of many countries. They are the largest salt exporters on the continent.

Therefore, in the human kingdoms, the price of salt is high, and it is not a condiment that ordinary civilians can enjoy on a daily basis.

1 pound of fine fine white salt for a good, strong horse.

Enough to justify the high value of this condiment.

And the higher-value spices, such as the top-level black pepper, in the years when the spices are scarce or the war hinders the business line, the price can even be equal to the same weight of gold, which is a luxury that high-level aristocrats should cherish.

Kant knew this very well.

After all, in the 16 years since I came to this world, I have attended many large and small banquets.

But I have never enjoyed letting go of my appetite and feasting on delicacies that have been added with various spices, which I have never had before.

Although this world has swords and magic, all kinds of wonderful items, and fantastic races, it is still similar to the Middle Ages of the earth in Europe, lacking in materials, simple and backward, a helpless feudal era.

"call."

Kant took a deep breath.

The throbbing in his heart was forcibly suppressed by him, allowing himself to regain his calm.

The reality is still here.

If he does not have enough strength, he will not take the initiative to contact the Principality of Lions.

Those are hungry wolves.

A monster that can never be satisfied.

The truth of guilt was revealed in the previous life on the earth. If the impression of the barren desert in Naluun was broken, and the salt mines with huge profits appeared in the eyes of the nobles of the Principality of Lions, perhaps a bunch of robbers who did not know where they came from would be Let him, the baron of the sentry oasis, disappear from this world.

Kant has never overestimated the security environment in this world.

Strength is everything in the world, when a child appears next to a bunch of thugs with gold in his arms, waiting for him is self-evident.

"You still have to be strong."

Kant shook his head slightly, but there was 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." The peasant nodded respectfully.

But just as the farmer was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to have thought of something. He held the shabby pottery pot in his hand and asked Kant, "Sir, what should I do with the coarse salt in this pottery pot?"

These salts are unfiltered raw coarse salts, which not only contain sediment, but also contain 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 them with the appetite of a jackal, but it is undoubtedly a challenge for the more demanding human stomach. After eating these coarse salts, you will definitely vomit and have diarrhea. Poisoning reactions, more serious life-threatening reactions are possible.

"This..." Kant was slightly stunned, but his eyes looked at the six desert robbers.

"Lord Lord, we will boil salt and turn this coarse salt into table salt."

The six desert robbers did not live up to his expectations, and nodded with certainty: "This is actually very simple."

"Very good." Kant nodded with satisfaction.

The desert where the Salander Sultanate is located also naturally has saline-alkali land, and the Salander people who seek a life in the desert have used certain principles to turn these inedible raw coarse salt into edible condiments.

All you need is a stove, two large pots, and plenty of charcoal.

These are naturally present in the Consultative Hall.

Kant was also curiously watching how these desert robbers turned these primitive and harmful coarse salt into edible salt.

"Is it using charcoal to filter impurities?"

But Kant also has a concept in his heart, and the basic education in the previous life is not worth learning.

The stove is on fire.

The spring water in the cauldron was quickly boiled, and these desert robbers also poured all the coarse salt in the dilapidated clay pot into it.

As the heat rises, the coarse salt of Bai Huahua gradually dissolves in the boiling water.

However, the originally clear spring water in the cauldron also appeared gray impurities at this time. Almost with the naked eye, you can see that there are many fine particles in the boiling water.

That's silt.

"Reduce the fire, we use a small fire." A desert robber ordered.

While other companions were waiting by the side, the fire in the stove was immediately reduced.

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 the application of living knowledge.

After waiting for a while, the salt water gradually became clear, but the sediment deposited on the bottom of the pot was covered with sand, which seemed unimaginable. It turned out that the coarse salt that looked white before was so dirty.

"Prepare."

The desert robber in charge of all this speaks up.

The other companions immediately brought another cauldron over, but it was densely filled with charcoal.

This is the key to filtering impurities.

The desert robber took out a large wooden spoon and started pouring salt water into the charcoal-filled pot. He moved quickly and skillfully. In the end, there was a thin layer of salt water and a layer of dirty sand left in the iron pot. .

"It's basically done."

He instructed his companion next to him: "Take out the garbage and clean the iron pot."

At the same time, he wiped the sweat on his face, turned his head and smiled at Kant: "Lord, wait for 1 hour, then change the pot and charcoal to filter 4 times again according to this procedure, and finally dry the water inside, we will It can precipitate the best edible refined salt."

"Very good." Kant nodded.

Looking at the steaming iron pot, the salt water is mixed with the charcoal, these natural filters will filter out most of the impurities, and after going back and forth many times, only the last salt brine is left.

Continue to heat the iron pot with fire, and the salt in it is precipitated, which is edible salt.

"Lord Lord."

The desert robber assured, "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 understood what white salt was.

understand the value more.

This fine white salt, which is as white as snow, is expensive in the Principality of Lions. Only those big nobles and big merchants can enjoy it, and the price will never be lower than 50 big silver coins per pound.

This is a luxury that can only be enjoyed by aristocrats.

It is definitely not the same as the rough well salt eaten by the wealthy commoners and the small landlords.

Not only expensive, but also a status symbol!

"I can not wait any more."

Kant had a big smile on his face.

In half a day, the coarse salt of the inedible 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 the huge profit of monopoly!

So he couldn't wait.

Although it is impossible to form a caravan openly and openly and dump the salt to the Principality of Lions in batches, it is possible to secretly use a small amount of fine white salt and sell it on the black market. I believe that many people will definitely break their heads.

This fine white salt represents more than just condiments.

It is also the spell-casting props that the magicians in the Mage Tower need, and the nobles ensure the dignity of their identities.

In short, Kant does not worry about sales.
