The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Chapter 3

After three days, the servants in the castle’s recognition of Xia Zoe once again reached a new high.

When the prestige value finally increased to 20 points, he immediately exchanged for the “Salt in Seawater Method and Detailed Diagram”.

[Ding, the redemption is successful, the download is in progress…The download is successful, and the “Salt in Seawater Method and Detailed Diagram” has been saved in the stickman universe mailbox for the host, and can be read at any time. 】

-There are only three pages of the “Seawater Sun Salt Method and Detailed Map” and the detailed location map of the natural asphalt mine on the list.

Xia Zuoy used the time to sleep at night to study thoroughly, and then start to make some preparations for how to unobtrusively take out the salt in the sea water.

After Xia Zoe moved the alchemy laboratory to the attic, he had to spend almost half of his time in it every day. Even in the castle, it was spread that the little earl could not resist the charm of alchemy, and he began to indulge in it like the old earl.

The kitchen is busy, preparing lunch for a while.

The two cooks talked in a low voice, from the little earl’s willful refusal to eat porridge, boiled bread, and fire-roasted fruit to today the little earl asked the chef for a bottle of salt shaker.

“Chef Philip is going to die of grief, he has only two salt shakers left, and he dare not stop…”

“What does Lord Earl want the salt shaker for?”

“Who knows this, I am probably curious. The day before yesterday, Lord Earl asked me what the price of a bottle of salt shaker was…”

At this moment, Chef Philip knocked on the bowl and shouted: “What are you going to do! Quickly load the plate! If you delay the dinner, Lord Earl, can you afford it?!”

The cook didn’t dare to talk any more, and acted quickly.

After lunch, Xia Zoe returned to the attic.

After proper arrangement, the attic has been completely renewed. The experimental equipment and utensils are neatly placed in cabinets, and some objects that should be protected from light are placed in shady corners.

“Udit, do you know how the salt is obtained?”

Xia Zoe dangled her calf gently while sitting in the chair.

He seemed to have a lot of curiosity about the origin of the salt. His caramel-colored eyes were shining, and he held the new salt shaker that is coming today and turned it upside down. The coarser salt grains rustled in the shaker.

Udit: “Boil the salt, Lord Earl, use wooden pipes to transport the brine, and boil it in a square iron or lead pot.”

“The salt shaker in your hand is sold everywhere through the Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce.”

“Nagabi Chamber of Commerce?”

Xia Zoe looked at the picture engraved on the salt shaker—two neatly-dressed men stood face to face, one with coins in one’s hand, one with goods in one’s hand, and the two were trading.

Obviously, this is the emblem of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce.

Judith: “The Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Anas Empire.”

“There is the largest salt lake in the Anas Empire-Lake Bettaara. Because of this, the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce has almost 60% of the salt sales channels.”

Salt is a necessity, and selling salt is even more profitable.

The Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce has secretly supported the royal family of the Anas Empire, and the price of salt has remained high.

This is why Chef Philip feels distressed to death that Shazoe has to walk three or four cans of salt in a row.

“Is there only a way to boil salt?”

“I think so, my lord.”

“Where’s the salt?”

Xia Zoe pointed to the long table by the window seemingly inadvertently.

On the long table are four and a half-meter square shallow-bottomed wooden ponds. The salt that was coming before was poured into them and slowly dissolved.

Looking back today, the amount of water in the wooden pond that was first poured into the salt decreased, and even smaller pieces of salt were condensed.

“The “Alchemy Handbook” left by my father records his process of searching for the presence of metals in seawater. It mentioned that salt particles will appear after the seawater is evaporated to a certain extent by the sun…”

Xia Zuoy held the salt shaker in both hands, with two short legs cleverly joined together, tilted his head and said innocently: “Udit, can we try salting in sea water?”

“If you have salt, you can sell it. Then I will have a lot of money.”

Matt Desinia did leave a copy of the “Alchemy Handbook”, and the long time of indulging in research did not leave him with nothing.

At least it is true to find the metals present in the seawater, but in the end it failed.

In the “Alchemy Handbook,” Xia Zoe forged some records about salt drying in sea water.

The behavior of the past few days has made the servants in the castle think logically-the little earl has begun to become interested in alchemy-read the “Alchemy Handbook” left by the old earl-curious about the process of obtaining salt-to try (xia ) Inspect (wan).

Judit: “Naturally follow your wishes.”

The craftsmen were summoned to the castle, and after constant discussions and adjustments, they finally succeeded in building a complete salt drying plant on the coastline east of the Cogit Sea.

When Xia Zoe decided to test the feasibility of drying salt in sea water, many servants were skeptical.

How can salt be exposed to the sun in the sea?

Lord Earl must be fooling around…Look, you won’t be tossing about it after you fail.

However, time passed slowly, and they began to realize that things weren’t as random as they thought at first, but to no avail.

The servants watched as the sea water was first introduced into a pond, and after a period of time of sun evaporating, it was led into another pond to continue the sun.

After waiting for a while, white particles gradually precipitated in the sea water.

“Salt, it’s salt!”

The first exclamation was unbelievable.

I can’t believe that I can get a huge amount of salt just by relying on a few ponds.

Although the quality of the salt currently obtained is relatively rough, after further processing and purification, the refined salt obtained is even more delicate than the salt bought outside.

What’s more, the manpower and material resources expended to boil salt needless to say.

However, the salt in sea water relies on “wind and sun” from beginning to end, and the “cost” to be paid is almost negligible.

Chef Philip looked at the more than ten cans of refined salt in front of him and was about to cry again.

This time I cried for joy.

After the “experiment” was successful, Judit raised to Shazoe the necessity of “salt control” for the royal family.

It is impossible for the royal family to let go of the huge benefit of “salt”.

Although salt can be sold in the Chamber of Commerce, it has to be secretly controlled by the royal family.

In the current situation of Visas, it is like a bird whose wings are not yet full, no matter how much it spreads its wings to cover it, it is impossible to protect the “treasure” behind him.

Furthermore, Xia Zoe’s original plan was to present the method of drying salt in sea water as a “gift” to the king in order to obtain the territorial rights of Palshan.

The Cogit Sea can’t move or move.

At best, Xia Zoe gave up most of the benefits of selling salt to the king, and the work of salt production would still be carried out in Wesas, which was equivalent to returning to his own hands after a round.

It’s far more to give away than you can get if you are forced to give up.

Forever.

Xia Zoe is sure to develop Wesas into the main channel and important city to control the sale of salt in the Kingdom of Gadaat.

Xia Zoe: “Udit, I want to go to the royal city myself.”

The early morning sun shone golden brilliance. Accompanied by the calls of seabirds, the Desinian motorcade set out for the royal city of Kaes in Gadaat.

The banner of the thorns rose was flying on the top of the carriage, followed by the craftsmen who built the salt field, and a small team of knights guarded the lord’s safety at the front and back.

After crossing Parr Mountain, Fort Comoy, the nearest territory adjacent to Wessas, is located.

The lord of Fort Comoy is also an earl-Bevis Eliot.

It’s the prime of life.

Also an earl, Fort Comoy is richer than Wesas, has a larger scope than Wess, and has a larger population than Wess.

Even Count Beavis Eliot has a brave cavalry team in his hands.

When passing by Fort Komoy, Xia Zuoy deeply realized the gap between the two cities.

He kind of wanted to match lemons.

After passing through three big cities, we arrived at the royal city of Kaaisi.

The scope of the Jadayat Kingdom is not very large, and the time spent on the road is not much.

After entering the royal city, he soon got the opportunity to meet the king.

The old King Duke Paige has some distant relatives with Shazoe Desinia.

The cousin of the previous king was married to the grandfather of Shazoe Desinia.

This old king was about the same age as Shazoe’s father, and there was already a prince and two princesses under his knees. He likes beautiful people, has nothing to do with government affairs, is gentle and kind, and is not cruel.

It can be said that the character of the old King Duke Paige is also under consideration and planning by Shazoe.

When Shazoe entered the royal hall, the old king was discussing political affairs with the Chancellor of the Exchequer Bath Ritches. Seeing him coming in, the old king raised his hand to indicate that Bath Ritches stood aside and did not leave. .

Old King: “What gift did you bring?”

“Your Majesty, the gift is here.”

Xia Zuoyi presented a roll of parchment on which was recorded the salt drying method and the test results.

The old king was a little surprised and asked the waiter to go down and take the gift.

He remembered Desinia, and Matt Desinia sent someone to give condolences after his accidental death.

The sudden arrival of Xia Zoe Desinha puzzled him, and after reading the content on the parchment, this doubt began to turn into a huge surprise.

He even got up from the throne, his expression agitated.

“Your Majesty?” Bass Ridges frowned and asked.

The old king calmed down and gave the parchment in his hand to the favored minister, “Ritches, come and see.”

Xia Zoe also turned his head curiously.

The chancellor with brown hair and green eyes, his face rigid and serious, with raised eyebrows and a wide nose, looked unkind.

After reading the content on the parchment, except for a momentary surprise flashed on his face, he immediately calmed his emotions, and stared at Xia Zoe with sharp and full eyes.

“Are you sure this is real and feasible?”

Xia Zoe pretended to be frightened by him, and nodded slightly timidly: “Yes, I also brought the salt after the experiment.”

Judit presented the salt shaker in his hand.

The old king couldn’t wait to take it from the waiter.

He opened the cork of the refined salt, poured snow-white grains of salt into his palm, watched it carefully, twisted a little and put it in his mouth, even more joyful: “It’s salt!”

The salt shaker was passed on to Bath Riches.

After confirmation, Bass Ridges asked Shazoe some questions.

-It’s nothing more than “How did you discover it?” “Who else knows”… “What do you want by offering the method of drying salt in sea water to the king”.

Xia Zuoyi answered “according to the truth” one by one.

When it came to the last question, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, and two blushes appeared on his white and tender cheeks, and he said with a little bit of shyness, “I want to expand the territory a little bit.”

The author has something to say:

Xia Zoe: Look at me, it’s silly, white and sweet.
