Chapter 6 Necessary Skills for Traveling to Ancient Times ①

Let’s skip this heavy topic, hahaha.

Just like that, Li Ranran refreshed the recommendation page n times before a topic of interest appeared:

[Salt making, a necessary skill for traveling through ancient times]

[The up master is here to talk to you today. If you have the opportunity to travel back to ancient times, then learning how to make salt is an essential skill. 】

[Hint: First you have to make sure you have traveled back to ancient times and have established a power that no one can touch before you can start your salt-making business.]

[Generally speaking, ancient salt was coarse salt, which is different from the salt we eat today. Mineral salt only needs to control a salt mine, so high-quality salt in ancient times is generally mineral salt. The production process of well mineral salt is a process of dissolution and recrystallization. ]

The simplest way to make sea salt is divided into three steps:

First, salt pans are built on the seashore to store seawater, and seawater is introduced into the salt pans.

Next, the water is evaporated by the sun to produce coarse salt crystals. The result is the worst coarse salt, which is bitter to swallow.

Finally, add water to the collected coarse salt and continue to dissolve it until it can no longer dissolve. The saturated salt water is then precipitated and filtered. At this point, the water is evaporated again to obtain finer coarse salt.

【Coarse salt → refined salt

Originally, we had to distinguish the impurities in salt to see whether they were soluble or insoluble. So, if you are good at math, physics and chemistry, you will not be afraid of going anywhere. The next step is to apply your knowledge of chemistry.

For insoluble impurities, we need to proceed in three steps.

The first step is dissolution: Appropriate heating can help the salt dissolve quickly. Each time traveler can find a suitable container on their own.

Step 2: Filtering: We use multiple layers of paper to make filter paper. Make a fence at the bottom of the container and then spread the filter paper on top.

Filter the crude salt solution.

The third step is evaporation, which is boiling salt: use a large pot to slowly boil the salt solution, and the precipitated crystals will adhere to the inner wall. Use a spatula to scoop them out and grind them into fine refined salt.

What are soluble impurities?

Removing soluble impurities was difficult in ancient times, so we could only remove the calcium and magnesium ions.

The ash left after burning the straw is called wood ash, which is removed by using wood ash.

Of course, what is said in the video cannot be compared with modern refined salt. Finally, I wish you all a happy time travel! ! ! ]

<Selling illegal salt, young man, you have a bright future [sideways smile]>

<A little trick for killing heads every day [dog head]>

<It seems that besides wood ash, shell ash can also be used? >

<I have learned it. Now please tell me where I should go through>

<In ancient times, salt was an important source of tax revenue, and the state would not easily give it to outsiders>

<If modern people were to wear clothes from the past, they would be a walking plague>

<Salt production is not working, we still have to make sugar, sugar production is the big money>

<Iron smelting is the way to go!!!>

<Salt and Iron Official Transport [Smile]>

<Your explanation is not as detailed as the one next to you>

<Isn't the system the most important thing when traveling through ancient times?>

<Isn't it most important to grasp the three great books?>

<You deserve to have the "Barefoot Doctor Manual", "Militia Military Training Manual", and "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-use Talents". [Laughs]>

……

The 28th year of Qin Shi Huang

The video on Tianmu made Ying Zheng very excited.

Before Ying Zheng could speak, Li Si understood what his majesty was thinking.

"I will send someone to conduct the experiment according to the Tianmu method."

Although there are still many things I don’t understand, such as what is paper filtering…

But I still have to do my duty in front of His Majesty.

----

Han Dynasty, the third year of Yuanshou

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who was in charge of the salt and iron industry, also ordered his subordinates to follow the video.

Liu Che thought, no one really wants to die so badly that they would sell contraband salt, right?

----

Tang Dynasty, Wude 9th year

Only after Li Shimin had dealt with the issues of his father and brothers did he have the opportunity to see the miracle displayed on the sky screen.

Li Shimin was determined to be a good emperor, to bring the Tang Dynasty to a new height and create a prosperous era. Otherwise, the only thing left in history books was the reputation of killing his brother to seize the throne.

I started watching Tianmu's video. Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi? I can't recognize him. Which descendant is he?

Paper? Already have it.

Wang Bo? Not important.

Salt production? Yes, that's possible.

After watching the video on the sky screen carefully, Li Shimin did not forget to personally participate in salt production.

----

After this video ended, several recommended videos appeared:

[Must-have skill for traveling through ancient times: sugar making]

[Soap is a necessary skill for traveling through ancient times]

[Penicillin, a necessary skill for traveling through ancient times]

[Papermaking is a necessary skill for traveling through ancient times]

[Black powder, a necessary skill for traveling through ancient times]

Having just finished watching the salt-making show, Li Ranran, who felt like she needed a brain to grow, felt that she had achieved the required amount of learning for today.

NEXT!!!

Li Ranran's inner thoughts could not be shared with those who were watching the sky curtain.

So everyone is furious!!!

Everyone in the Ming Dynasty: Ah! I want to see penicillin! What is that? It feels so advanced.

Everyone in the Qin Dynasty: I want them all, I want them all, I want to see them all...

Li Ranran refreshed the page several times before she saw a mashup video that interested her.

【Queen Mother of Xixia—Heroine Template】

(As a burst of passionate instrumental music sounded, characters emerged one by one in the video.)

[They are mysterious women.]

There were three empress dowagers who ruled the country in the history of Western Xia: Empress Dowager Mo Zang, Empress Dowager Liang, and Empress Dowager Xiao Liang.

(Next to the first woman in the video is the words: Queen Mother Mei Zang.

Queen Mother Mo Zang ascended the throne holding her child in her arms and smiled at the court officials.

[In 1049 AD, Yuanhao's one-year-old son Liangzuo ascended the throne in the arms of Queen Mother Mo Zang and became the second emperor of Western Xia. Mo Zang and his sister also became the actual rulers of Western Xia.]

(The video screen changes to another woman, with the words "Empress Dowager Liang" written next to her.)

【Mo Zang Epang was Liang Zuo's uncle, and Liang was Mo Zang Epang's daughter-in-law. At the age of 13, Liang Zuo, who was just beginning to fall in love, met Liang, who was less than 20 years old. Their affair triggered a rebellion by Mo Zang Epang and his son. Liang accidentally learned about this and reported it to Liang Zuo. The 15-year-old Liang Zuo wiped out the Mo Zang family. Six years later, the 6-year-old Liang Zuo died. Liang became the second empress dowager in the history of Western Xia. Her brother Liang Yimei became the prime minister, and Western Xia entered the period of Liang brothers and sisters ruling again.】

(The Empress Dowager Liang in the video was gentle and charming at first, then she ascended the throne with her young son after Liang Zuo's death, and finally rode a horse and whipped the horse.)

[Empress Dowager Liang abolished Confucian etiquette and restored Tangut customs. The first person to stand up and oppose was her young son Bingchang. The emperor wanted to rule the country independently and was dissatisfied with his mother's monopoly of government. Empress Dowager Liang imprisoned the emperor. ]

[In 1081 AD, the Song Dynasty launched the largest war in the history of the Song and Xia dynasties in the name of saving the emperor of the Western Xia. Empress Dowager Liang personally led the elite troops to attack the key force of the Song army, Yongle City. The Western Xia won a great victory in this war, and Empress Dowager Liang established absolute military authority in this war. ]

(The Queen Mother Liang went to the battlefield in person and defeated the Song army.)

(After the video ends with Empress Dowager Liang, a new video is inserted, showing the third female ruler: Empress Dowager Xiao Liang)

【In order to continue to control the government, Empress Dowager Liang made her niece the empress. Three years later, the unhappy Bingchang died, and the throne was inherited by Qianshun. Empress Dowager Liang became another empress dowager in charge of the state affairs of Western Xia. Empress Dowager Liang was warlike and launched dozens of wars against the Song Dynasty during her thirteen years in power. Empress Dowager Liang's ambition and arrogance were no less than those of male emperors. Western Xia moved forward under her rule.】

<The Chinese entertainment industry should really watch this, this is a true female-led drama!!!>

<I love Queen Mother Liang [blushing]>

<I don’t know if you have watched Helanxue. This drama is about the period of Yuanhao in Western Xia. It contains the emotional entanglement between Queen Yeli, Mo Zang Heiyun and Yuanhao. I enjoyed watching it when I was young [eating melon]>

<The Western Xia had been surviving in the cracks for more than 300 years, which is quite impressive.>

<The Xixia people are a branch of the Qiang people and are cousins ​​of the Han people. The blood of the Xixia people has been integrated into the local people of Gansu and Ningxia>

<It’s a pity that there is no official historical record of Western Xia. It was clearly during the period of confrontation between Liao, Jin, Song and Western Xia. However, judging from various materials, Western Xia is really mysterious>

<Xixia also had a female army called Ma Kui>

<Empress Dowager Liu of the Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty, Empress Dowager Liang of the Western Xia Dynasty, it can be seen that female politicians are no worse than male ones>

<The Western Xia in history seemed to have disappeared after its demise. The Mongols caused devastating damage to the Western Xia civilization. It was not until 1908, more than years later, that the Russians discovered and excavated a large number of cultural relics in Heishui City in northwest China, and finally unveiled the Western Xia.>

<The Mongols really... Genghis Khan died while fighting against the Western Xia, so the Mongols, despite the Western Xia's surrender, carried out a massacre in the Western Xia. Not only did they kill the last emperor of the Western Xia, they also massacred the city and dug three feet deep near the Western Xia royal tombs, almost erasing all traces of the Western Xia's existence.>

<Song, you are not good enough…>

<There is a saying that goes, when you reach that position, a woman can be a man, and a man can be a woman.>
