Although Chenliu at this time could not be called busy with traffic, it was still much more lively than the cities and counties Wu Liang had passed through during his march in recent days.

It's just that during the war, there are fewer young and middle-aged men walking on the streets. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly, children or women.

Compared with later dynasties, the social status of women in the Han Dynasty was still good. Not only could they go out to do business and farm, they could also get divorced by agreement. If they were widows, they could also choose to remarry. If some women from the gentry were talented, they had the opportunity to become officials and participate in the dynasty.

affairs of state.

Among them, there was a relatively famous female civil servant in the Eastern Han Dynasty named "Ban Zhao".

Many people may not be familiar with this name, but when it comes to one of her works, many people will immediately spit out the fragrance - "The Female Commandment".

The "Three Obediences", "Four Virtues", "A woman's lack of talent is a virtue" and other arguments were first proposed by this female civil servant, and they had a profound impact on the social structure of later generations.

Didn't expect it.

It is not men who are the first to think about how to oppress women, but women...

"Brother Youcai, did you see that flag in front of you? That's the Salt Bank."

After coming out, Yin Jian took the lead in taking Wu Liang to the salt shop.

This is what Wu Liang meant.

The first thing you need to consider in order to live a good life is eating, drinking, and eating. Food should be at the top of the list, and when it comes to eating, salt is absolutely unavoidable. It is not only an important condiment, but also a necessity closely related to health.

"Walk."

Wu Liang nodded, and the two walked into the salt shop together.

"You're polite, Sir, would you like to buy some salt?"

Seeing that there was a soldier behind Wu Liang, the originally indifferent young man hurriedly came up to him with a smile on his face and some caution in his behavior.

"Only this kind of salt?"

Wu Liang walked forward, looked at the large iron basins containing salt cubes in front of him, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

This kind of iron basin containing salt was unearthed for the first time in 1997. It was called "salt iron basin" by later archaeologists and was mostly recorded as "lao basin" in ancient books. It was a very important cooking pot specially made by the imperial court during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Salt tool.

In the first year of Yonghe (AD 84), Emperor He of the Han Dynasty temporarily abolished the law on official salt management after he came to the throne. After that, the court still took charge of taxation and the salt industry was privately operated until the end of the Han Dynasty.

The "salt iron basin" was a tool used by the imperial court to control private salt production and prevent tax evasion.

The law stipulates that salt households must obtain "salt iron basins" from the government before they can make and sell salt, and all basins must be declared to prevent tax evasion.

But this is not the focus of Wu Liang's attention. The main thing is that the salt blocks in the salt iron basin are really...

Not only are the crystals filled with different shades of yellow and brown, but you can also clearly see some small stones mixed in, and you can even smell a strong muddy smell.

In fact, pebbles are fine, but the worst thing is to be careful when eating so as not to break your teeth.

But the colorful colors in the salt blocks are just too exaggerated.

This means that the salt block must contain other substances that have not been processed thoroughly. If it is a substance commonly found in natural salts such as potassium nitrophosphate, eating too much can be fatal!

As far as Wu Liang knows, the salt-making technology of the Han Dynasty has developed, and many salt wells have appeared. Even before, due to government operations for a period of time, an industrial chain has been formed. No matter how bad it is, it should not be this bad.

That's it...

really.

"Of course not. There is still some good salt in it. Sir, please come with me."

The boy quickly pointed to the back hall and walked in front to open the curtain for Wu Liang.

Wu Liang came to the back hall and saw several iron basins. Although the salt in it was far from as crystal-clear and fine as in the 21st century, it was much better than the ones outside, at least not as scary.

of colorful colors.

"That's pretty much it. How do you sell this salt?"

Wu Liang finally asked with satisfaction.

However, the young man did not directly answer Wu Liang's question. Instead, he bowed and asked: "Forgive me for being presumptuous, may I ask which guest in the city you are?"

"Does it matter?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly.

"Of course it is related. This kind of fine salt can only be sold to famous noble families in the city. If others buy the salt, only the coarse salt from outside can be sold. Please forgive me, sir."

The boy still couldn't figure out the details of Wu Liang at this moment, so he still said with a low eyebrow.

"What's the rule?"

As soon as he heard this, Wu Liang's heart suddenly burst into flames of ignorance. If he sells salt, he sells salt, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. What the hell!

Seeing that Wu Liang was in a bad mood, Yin Jian quickly held him back and whispered in his ear: "Brothers with talents, calm down your anger. There is indeed such a rule. This rule is not new. I have been like this since I was a child, and

This is the case not only in the salt shop, but also in all walks of life. There is no need to argue with this servant. Not only does it not count if he says it, but it may not count even if the owner of the salt shop says it. They will have to look up to him.

"

"Um……"

Wu Liang then made a deep nasal sound, his anger disappearing as quickly as it came.

Due to his understanding of history, he naturally knew the core of the problem better than Yin Jian, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

But Wu Liang is a person who cherishes himself.

Even if he starves to death or crashes into an iron salt basin, he will never take a bite of the coarse salt outside!

then.

Looking at the outer hall again, Wu Liang took out a crushed gold object from his arms and handed it to Yin Jian. He said, "I won't go shopping together anymore. I'll leave this matter to you. What's going on outside?"

Let the salt shop pack a basin of coarse salt and send it to my house. By the way, buy me some meat, including more chickens, ducks, goose, dolphins, wine and carbon. In short, I only need what I lack for daily meals.

You’ve prepared everything for me, that should be enough, right?”

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't plan to just make do with it, but plans to make enough food and clothing by himself.

For him who comes from the 21st century, the purification of coarse salt is simply pediatric knowledge. Anyone who has participated in nine years of compulsory education has done this experiment in junior high school chemistry class. Even if the conditions are limited now, he can still get it.

This method can extract salt that is ten times or even a hundred times better than the "fine salt" in the inner hall!

Haha, do you think this will prevent me from living a good life?

Not only are there no doors, there are no windows either!

Not only do I want to eat refined salt that the "Celestial Dragons" have never eaten, but I also want to drink wine that the "Celestial Dragons" can't even imagine. Who is the "Celestial Dragon"!

Yes, fine wine, distilled liquor that has never appeared in this era!

Just for a while, Wu Liang secretly decided to transform the wine.

"That's enough, that's enough, wrap it up on me!"

Yin Jian patted his chest and said.

"Then you go ahead and do it. I have something to do and have to go to the military camp. See you at my house later."

Wu Liang nodded, turned around and left the salt shop, heading straight for the military camp.

There will be wine and meat tonight, and he plans to call "Dian Wei" to his home to make friends.

Although the two have not met yet, he already knows Dian Wei's preferences well.

"Three Kingdoms·Dian Wei Zhuan" says: "Dian Wei, Chen Liuji is my friend. He likes wine and food, and drinks and eats with everyone. Every time he gives food to the front, he drinks heavily for a long time, and the left and right are related, and several people benefit from it. Taizu Zhuang

Of."
