Chapter 203 Salt Making Workshop
"Is this where it is?"
Jiang Changle and Mo Chen came to the small valley that Old Zhang mentioned.
This is a wasteland, probably because it floods every year, so no one comes here to mine.
The ground is wet at this time, covered with green weeds and small wild flowers. The surrounding scenery looks quite beautiful. This may be the biggest advantage of the animal world.
There are salt rock layers on the surrounding mountains, and this small valley might actually have salt layers, which might be suitable for digging salt wells.
"From a feng shui perspective, it's an auspicious number. If we can dig the well my wife wants, building a small workshop here won't be a problem."
Mo Chen looked around and calculated with his fingers, confirming that this was a Feng Shui treasure land.
"Then let's dig." Jiang Changle used his powerful spiritual power to sense and found that there was no one nearby.
She released three moles from the space.
Moles in the animal world are short and fat, about seventy to eighty centimeters long, with black-brown fur, pointed mouths, well-developed forelimbs, outward-turned paws, and claws. They are best suited for digging and can usually extend dozens of meters underground.
"Let's explore the way and dig a hole first." Jiang Changle drew a circle for them and asked the three moles to start working.
This made the moles very excited. Although it was good to be in space, they could not dig too many holes and destroy the space, otherwise they would be beaten by the great god Xiaobai.
This really made the moles, who loved digging holes, very frustrated. Now, their owners finally let them out to dig holes.
The three moles started digging in the circle without saying a word, and soon more and more soil was dug out.
The three mice dug less than ten meters when they were suddenly washed up by a column of water.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak~" The hamster is scared to death, please comfort the owner!
The spring was indeed unusual. Jiang Changle pointed at the moles one by one and said, "Let's go back to the space and play."
"Is this all right?" Mo Chen asked uncertainly, looking at the flooding spring. "Can this water be boiled into salt? Is that true?"
"That can't happen. Why don't you dry the water first to see if there's any salt?"
Mo Chen didn't let Jiang Changle get close to those dirty places, so he had to go into the water and try it himself.
Mo Chen's spiritual power is not bad either. In order to match Jiang Changle, he has never relaxed his practice.
He scooped up a handful of muddy well water and dried it with his spiritual power. Soon, he saw a layer of crystallized white salt on his hands in addition to the yellow dust.
"Ha! It's done. Tell people to bring the tools, dig a well and build a workshop." Jiang Changle was very happy. It turned out that checking the feng shui first was effective, and their work was not in vain.
He took out a messenger bird from the space and hung the prepared note on it, "Go to the workshop and deliver the message."
Jiang Changle had just delivered the message when Mo Chen had already taken out the blueprints to plan the territory.
"This is the salt water well, and next to it is the city boiler room, warehouse, and accommodation~"
The blueprint was drawn by Jiang Changle yesterday, with the dimensions on it. Jiang Changle took out a bag of white quicklime from the space, and she drew the lines to position them, while Mo Chen sprinkled lime along the lines to draw the shape.
When the two of them were almost done, the workers in the workshop, led by the manager, came over in a mighty procession, holding their tools.
"Princess, it looks like another big project. What are they going to build here?"
The notice of Jiang family's salt production had not yet been sent to the workshop, and only a few people in their family knew about it. The tools the workers brought were the two sets for mining and building houses.
"Of course, we'll build a workshop and dig a thousand-meter-deep well. Everyone, work hard and you'll know the outcome soon."
The workshop can be built in two or three days, and another two days are spent on boiling the salt, so the whole process will be completed in about five days.
The Gu family intercepted the salt from Jiuyi County, and I think they will also monitor the Jiang family's every move to see how she will respond.
If she openly said that she was making well salt, the other party would come to sabotage them regardless of whether they believed they could do it or not.
Although the Jiang family is not afraid of these troubles, solving these problems will waste time and cause losses. It is better to wait until the workshop is built and strengthen the security to reduce or prevent troubles and accidents.
"Don't worry, Princess. We will do our best. However, digging this thousand-meter-deep well is not easy."
The supervisor was very confused. The well in front of them was about ten meters deep, and clean water was already coming out of it. Why did they have to dig it a thousand meters deeper?
Is that something humanly possible? Everyone had questions and was looking forward to how Jiang Changle would solve this problem, as they also learned knowledge and techniques from it.
Unconsciously, the workers in Jiang's workshop have become more and more active and intense in their pursuit of civilization.
In fact, it is just a simple bored pile, and it needs to be driven a thousand meters underground. It is definitely not possible to go down manually, and there is still water in the well, so we can only use a pile driver.
That is, a drop hammer pile driver. Its pile hammer is a heavy iron steel pipe with one end suspended by a steel cable. When the heavy hammer falls, it can naturally penetrate into the geological layer, and then press the switch to cut off the pipe mouth and close it.
After the drop hammer is hoisted up, soil will naturally be sealed in the steel pipe and brought up.
Jiang Changle had made this set of things before when he was exploring for minerals, but that one was relatively light, so now he had to add weight to it before he could use it.
But this is also simple, "Bring your exploration tools here and I'll teach you."
Look, which family has such a learned princess? Only the Jiang family of the East Dynasty.
This was undoubtedly a great learning opportunity. Everyone followed the supervisor and gathered around to listen to Jiang Changle's explanation, but they didn't dare to get too close.
Their boss is pregnant again, and the beastly husbands of the Jiang family are watching the princess closely. They are basically not allowed to get close to the princess within three meters, otherwise her body will be separated and she will die with regrets.
That's not worth it. You know, you can learn something every day by following the princess. Many people have become masters. Even if you go out to develop on your own, the princess will not stop you.
However, everyone knows that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. Those who go to work in the Jiang family workshop are basically people without any foundation. Even if they master the technology and leave, they will sooner or later be swallowed up by other big forces.
So why not just continue working for the Jiang family? The Jiang family's treatment is very generous, not only is the salary high, but some products can be purchased at half price.
As for the things you buy, if there is someone in the family who knows how to do business, you can also open a workshop, like the Jiang family chain, which is equivalent to using the power of the Jiang family to make your own money.
It’s so cool. The Jiang family workshop is such an open-minded place, so 99% of the people working there are dedicated and loyal.
Judging from the Fourth Princess's development trend, she has a very high chance of becoming the empress in the future. Then, aren't all of them the veterans under the new emperor?
So as long as they learn skills, it is not impossible for them to become officials in the future?
These ideas were actually instilled into the workers by Xuanqing and Lu Xingyan: if they worked with the Jiang family, everything would be possible in the future.
