Chapter 110 The necessary beheading skills for traveling through time
This sword was designed by Zhuge Liang and built piece by piece by hand.

Pure hand rubbing work.

And Huang Yueying was assisted by a Zhuge brand engineer shovel.

From the appearance, it is indeed almost the same as the engineer shovel that appeared on the sky.

It is also an engineer shovel with a long straight handle.

It also has a metal shovel head with serrated side blades.

It was made of the best iron ore that Zhuge Liang could find, and its strength was considerable.

Zhuge Liang experimented with using an engineering shovel to chop some firewood and dug a small hole.

Finally, I followed Tianmu’s example and fried an egg on the engineer’s shovel.

Most of the content that has appeared on the sky screen can basically be realized.

However, Zhuge Liang did not dare to continue using it intensively.

Because Zhuge Liang knew.

The strength of the Zhuge engineer shovel that I made myself is far from achieving the effect on the skylight.

If I let my Zhuge engineer shovel go head-on with the authentic engineer shovel on the sky.

I’m afraid that my engineer shovel will be interrupted after three rounds at most!
But if it is used against the weapons of other ordinary soldiers, the strength of the Zhuge engineer shovel in my hand is completely advantageous!
Not to mention the inferior weapons of ordinary soldiers.

Even if it is the precious sword used by ordinary generals?

Compared with the engineer shovel in Zhuge Liang's hand, it has no advantage in strength.

In a sense, the engineering shovel made by Zhuge Liang is actually a sword shaped like an engineering shovel.

So when I saw my engineer shovel, I could cut iron like mud and chop wood and make fire as easy as taking something out of a bag.

Zhuge Liang was both happy and unhappy.

Fortunately, he had indeed created a survival artifact that was 70% similar to the engineer shovel on the sky.

This Zhuge engineer shovel is a magical weapon!

Unfortunately, the cost is too high!

To build this engineer shovel.

It took him, Huang Yueying and several assistants many days to complete the project.

The funds consumed are even huge!

As a senior official, he made an engineer shovel as a toy and a weapon.

Of course it's okay.

But what if you want to deploy it on a large scale?
Then the cost needs to be reduced by at least 90%... No, it needs to be reduced by at least 99%!
Only then will it be possible to install it on a large scale.

How to spread the cost of one engineer shovel over one hundred engineer shovels!

Zhuge Liang could never figure it out.

Zhuge Liang looked at the sky, feeling somewhat happy yet somewhat unwilling.

Guessing when the sky will appear today.

And soon a new sky appeared.

[The first issue of the Time Travel Collection! ]

[The must-have beheading skill for time travelers is here! 】

【Hello, fellow time travelers! 】

[After traveling through time, everyone will surely be able to be crowned king, appointed prime minister, and ascend the throne to be emperor. ]

[But unless you are a tough guy with a super powerful system, you generally need to develop slowly. ]

[In this series of programs, we will introduce many skills that you can use after traveling through time. ]

[Today we will talk about the first skill, which is a magical skill that can make you rich! ]

[It is very easy to get started, and there are no technology requirements. ]

[It can be said to be one of the most easy ways to get rich through time travel. 】

[But a friendly reminder, if you want to use this skill, it is best to ensure that you have a certain level of self-protection ability, such as being a local lord. ]

[Otherwise, this crossing skill will also become a beheading skill. ]

【If you fail halfway through your business, that would be a disaster. 】

[If you get killed because of abusing this skill after traveling through time, don’t blame me when you come back! ]

【Today we will officially start talking about this skill. 】

【It is the production of salt that is related to the people's livelihood! 】

[In ancient times, there were two main types of salt production: well salt and sea salt. ]

[Well salt is a type of salt extracted from underground salt mines. It is usually made by drilling wells to extract underground natural brine, or by mining underground rock salt and processing it.]

[Sea salt is made by introducing seawater into salt pans, where it is exposed to the sun, evaporated, and crystallized.]

【Considering its wide distribution, we will mainly introduce sea salt today. 】

[The State of Qi, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, was able to rise first, thanks in large part to its developed sea salt industry. 】

[If you travel back in time to ancient times and become a local lord, and happen to be near the sea, then developing sea salt is absolutely the right thing to do. ]

Seeing this scene, Liu Che frowned.

The government-run salt and iron industries originated from a policy proposed by Guan Zhong.

The firm implementation of this policy was of great help to the financial resources of the Han Dynasty.

I have always been doubly determined to implement the policy of state-run salt and iron.

Among them, strict management of the production and sales of salt is the main focus.

Now Tianmu is teaching people how to make salt?
If everyone in the world knew how to make salt, how would the Han Dynasty collect taxes?

How can we support the war against the Huns?

So when Liu Che saw this scene, he was very unhappy.

But fortunately, the Han Dynasty was a centralized country, so as long as it was strictly controlled and severely punished.

What if everyone in the world knew how to make salt?
The method of making salt is not a secret.

Now all we have to do is to make this method more public.

Thinking of this, Liu Che's anger dissipated.

……

Not only Liu Che.

It wasn't even just the Han Dynasty.

Because from the reign of Emperor Wu of Han to the Ming and Qing dynasties, salt tax was one of the most important sources of income for the country.

The state has also been cracking down on salt dealers.

The death penalty is imposed at any time!

Some big private salt dealers who have connections with local areas and live in the mountains have become a serious threat to national security.

Because salt was so important in ancient times.

It is not only an important resource for people's lives, but also a major source of finance for the country to rule.

So when the feudal emperors saw Tianmu introducing salt making, they were naturally unhappy.

But at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Shicheng looked at the sky curtain and thought it was okay.

After all, Zhang Shicheng himself started out as a salt merchant, and built up a small empire, becoming one of the most powerful princes in the late Yuan Dynasty.

So we saw content about salt making appear on the sky curtain.

Zhang Shicheng didn't think about the negative impact for a moment, he just felt a little bit of intimacy.

“I hope the marquee can explain how to make better quality sea salt.”

"If one day I can conquer the Central Plains and unify the world."

"Plus, if Tianmu can introduce more ways to make money to this king."

"Maybe when I'm not short of money, I'll decide to hand over the salt-making business to the heroes."

"In this way, I believe all the heroes in the world will be at my service."

Then Zhang Shicheng asked his adviser Shi Naian:
"The technology in later generations was very advanced. What do you think the price of salt was in their time?"

Shi Naian was a very imaginative strategist.

He combined it with the content of the sky dome he had seen before.

Made a bold guess.

"In later times, grain production will be extremely high, and I estimate that salt production will not be low either."

"I would like to make a bold estimate here. In later generations, a pound of salt in China might be worth 30 coins, or even only coins. No, it might be worth only coins!"

"Of course, this is the only place where we produce salt that has such a good price."

"If it is in inland areas where there is neither sea salt nor well salt, a pound of salt would probably still be worth 30 or even 50 coins?"

"As for anything higher, I don't think so."

"After all, the technology in later generations is so advanced, the amount of salt collected and the convenience of transportation should also be greatly improved."

"It's not like the previous dynasty, where a pound of salt was as high as 500 coins."

After listening to Shi Naian's speculation, Zhang Shicheng couldn't help but speculate in his heart about the living conditions of the people in later generations.

So Zhang Shicheng said to Shi Naian with great interest:

"Mr. Shi, I know you are a talented writer. When the world is at peace, I will invite you to write a novel about life in the future."

"What do you think?"

Shi Naian laughed and said
"In fact, I have had this idea for a long time, and I have even...explained it to Guan Zhong."

“We decided to write a book together.”

"Maybe Guanzhong has already started preparing the outline."

……

Zhang Shicheng and others continued to look at the sky while chatting.
