Kant also affirmed his solemn appearance.

Whether or not he can borrow the fine white salt from boiling to open the market of the Lion Principality depends on the first transaction between Manid and Baron Dylan, as long as it is successful, then the future will be a smooth road.

This rocky pass connecting the Lion Principality to the Narun Desert will serve as a shield for the Sentry Oasis.

Kant naturally did not believe that this shield was eternal and secure.

On the contrary, if he shows his decline, this shield will not hesitate to fight back.

Baron Dylan at the Solid Stone Pass, who can grow from an ordinary cavalryman from a foreign country to a baron of the Duchy of Lion in just twenty years, is obviously unrealistic if he really relies on his military exploits and has no brains.

But Kant didn't care.

He dared to unite with Baron Dylan, just like seeking skin with a tiger, and he had his own confidence.

As long as he can help him block most of the gaze and malice in the early stage, so that Kant can survive in the early stage when the sentry oasis is still weak, and finally grow into enough self-preservation, the role of this shield will be completed.

And when the time comes, even if Baron Dylan doesn't want to continue to be a shield, the decision is not in his hands.

There are no urgent matters pending at this time.

Manid got up, walked out of the hall, and began to prepare for the salt boiling tonight.

Kant was completely decentralized.

The technique of boiling salt was not difficult, and the people of Salander had already taught it to Manid, and a few able-bodied peasants and peasant women were found, and the sugar mill next to the city wall was temporarily used as a salt workshop.

Farmers and peasant women were busy.

Coarse salt in sacks was piled up at the door.

Nearly forty bags in size, all built into a half-meter-high fence, occupying half of the street.

There are also charcoal, firewood, and grease for starting the fire, which are also prepared.

The two stoves in the sugar workshop were also cleaned and stuffed with firewood and charcoal, and lit with grease, and the black smoke was discharged along the chimney on the roof to the outside.

It's like wolf smoke for warnings, or signals to mark the location of a sentry oasis.

There are gains and losses.

Large-scale salt or sugar production, because the use of large amounts of charcoal and firewood produces thick and long black smoke, which is equivalent to telling anyone that this is an oasis of sugar and salt production.

At the same time, it will also let people with malicious intentions know the specific location of the sentry oasis.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyone who wants to find the sentry oasis is not a problem.

In the Lion Principality, there is still a map from the Solid Stone Pass to the Sentry Oasis, otherwise Kant would not have dared to go deep into the Narun Desert without preparation with that little man.

And the expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom.

Maybe by catching a few low-level gnolls in the Narun Desert, you can find these real natives to lead the way.

Although there is no GPS in this world, those experienced leaders in the army can still find the right path through the stars and the sun, as well as many geographical details that ordinary people don't care about.

Kant was a beginner in it, and he naturally understood the truth.

Compared with the rewards and benefits obtained from boiling salt, these are small problems that can be ignored.

The boiling of salt continues.

If it weren't for the limitations of charcoal and firewood, Kant would have even increased the scale of boiling salt.

But tomorrow morning, the boiled fine white salt enters the solid stone pass, and on the way back, a large amount of grain, charcoal and iron tools will be purchased through the relationship of Baron Dylan, and the six horses and three carriages prepared by Kant when he came will be fully loaded with these materials, relieving the pressure of the sentry oasis and forming a virtuous circle brought about by trade exchanges.

In the sugar factory, the speed of boiling salt is also accelerating.

Bags of coarse salt are poured into an iron pot and then poured into spring water, which quickly dissolves into brine as the temperature rises.

Firewood licks the bottom of the pot.

The salt water began to bubble and boil, but the extremely ugly gray foam appeared in the boiling.

These are the impurities in coarse salt, and various other substances left behind when the saline-alkali land dries up naturally, which are also the main reasons for the bitterness of these coarse salts that cannot be swallowed, and even poison causes diarrhea.

The peasant women will deal with this.

Carefully scoop off the foam with a spoon and pour it into a wooden barrel when the salt water has cleared a little.

Charcoal has been neatly arranged inside.

The brine with a very high salt content is poured in, leaving only the last bit of the bottom, which is full of dusty substances, and it feels a little sticky, either the soil or sand, or heavy metal residues, which are impurities that cannot be absorbed by the human body.

Then brush the iron pot and continue to repeat the above steps.

In fact, the brine made by this type of step, after being boiled, is already edible, although the taste is still a little bitter, but ordinary people will never care.

Most of the salt was consumed by the aristocracy.

Thirdly, in the city, wealthy citizens with decent jobs will endure the pain and consume it on certain festivals.

As for the peasants in the countryside, the serfs who did not have personal freedom did not belong to the group of salt consumers.

If Kant were willing to sell these slightly bitter, but absolutely inexpensive salts, he would definitely be welcomed by the vast majority of people, because these salts, which even the common people in the countryside could eat, would definitely become a windfall that swept the whole country.

Although the price is low, the quantity is large.

It's like the salt industry in an ancient country is arbitrary, monopolizing the price, allowing ordinary people to eat salt and make profits at the same time.

But Kant would not have taken such a trade plan.

Or rather...

Why did he turn the high price of salt, a luxury that only the aristocracy could eat, and a precious commodity that could be compared to spices, into a popular condiment that even ordinary people could afford to buy and eat?

It is true that Kant grasped the source of salt production.

But he is not a monopoly on salt production, and the distant dwarven kingdoms also produce salt.

The Lion Duchy already had merchants who used it as a means of making a fortune, which was their fundamental interest, and they would not let anyone else interfere at all, which is why Kant would give most of his profits to Baron Dylan.

Attract the firepower of these once vested interests to buy time for themselves.

And completely destroy the rules of the salt industry.

Turning salt into a condiment for both rural peasants and serfs would have completely detonated the conflict.

It's no longer a commercial competition.

It's a complete subversion, even a severity, that will cause the entire Lion Principality to react greatly.

Those high nobles are absolutely not allowed, and lowly peasants are entitled to eat the same salt as themselves, even if it looks similar, but in fact tastes bitter.

This is a social system with extremely strict hierarchies.

This is the hierarchical concept that bloodline is everything.

If Kant really subverted all this, even if only a symbolic foundation.

The consequences are not something he can bear now.

This was his concern.

But Kant naturally didn't want to subvert all this, because the high-grade fine white salt, a cherished luxury that only appeared in aristocratic banquets, was sold at a huge profit, and it allowed him to quickly accumulate strength.

Even if Baron Dylan shares most of the profits, it can still bring a huge return!

Because he mastered the salt mines.

Just like now.

After the charcoal has been filtered out of impurities, the remaining brine is poured into another iron pot.

As the firewood burns and licks the bottom of the pot, the water evaporates rapidly, and the salt liquid left behind becomes thicker and thicker, until finally it begins to precipitate crystallized white salt, which adheres to the bottom of the pot, like a snow-white white and looks extremely beautiful.

The peasant women immediately hung out the salt with wooden shovels and put it in specially prepared sacks.

However, the amount of finished white salt is much less.

Often, a bag of coarse salt is dissolved and filtered, and then white salt is precipitated, and only half a bag is left in the end.

Nearly half of the losses.

But thanks to the fact that the price is far from the same, even if more than half is lost, the remaining half a bag of white salt is enough to top all the current 40 bags of coarse salt, which is hundreds of times the profit!

The appearance of the first finished product inspired these peasant women and farmers.

The speed began to pick up, and the movements became more and more skillful.

Looking at their exuberant and energetic appearance, the next morning, these 40 bags of coarse salt could definitely be boiled successfully, and turned into an expensive but very popular fine white salt among the nobles.

With Manid oversight, it is impossible to be inefficient.

Kant was relieved.

Now he has another important thing to deal with.

Fatis has already returned with the team.

Behind the 50 Svadian heavy cavalry, there were hundreds of grill captives with gray faces and blood stains on their bodies, and they knew by their fearful appearance that they had already experienced the horror of the heavy cavalry.

Without hesitation, Kant asked Fatis and the caravan leader Jocelyn to reach the Consulate quickly.

Urgent Notice.

As long as Jocelyn completes the inspection and officially acquires the hundreds of gnolls captives, making up the number of 500, then the special mission from the Kingdom of Vekia will be declared complete.

And those 5 honor points will also be officially taken into Kant's arms.

Thinking about the big package that can be obtained by the lottery, Kant can't wait.

"Lord Kant."

Fatis and Jocelyn walked into the consulium and saluted Kant respectfully.

"Well, well done."

Kant nodded to Fatis with a smile on his face.

However, he turned his head to look at the caravan leader Qiao Celin, and said directly: "You have checked, I think these prisoners, plus the previous number, should be able to reach 500 people, right?" ”

"Yes, Lord Kant."

Jocelyn nodded and reported, "There are 103 captives this time, which is equivalent to 3,090 dinars. After a pause, he continued: "In terms of numbers, there are 572 people in total, which fully meets the requirements. ”

"That's good." Kant chuckled.
