Chapter 323 (2/2)

For those aristocrats who are popular in comparison, if there are not many bottles of ”refined salt” from the new world on their dining table, you will be looked down upon by the people in the circle.

Even as King George III of England today, he was full of praise for the refined salt produced in the new world. What's more, the salt used on George III's dining table is all the refined salt from the sea. The salt used in the British royal palace has long been out of use.

Even kings like this kind of refined salt, which is superior and inferior. Therefore, the aristocracy and the rich in Britain now feel proud to have this kind of refined salt.

Even it is said that this kind of refined salt has passed through the English Channel and entered the old world, appearing on the dining tables of the great nobles in countries such as France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and Germany

Anyway, this kind of refined salt is one of the most popular things in the old world and the thirteen colonies of the new world, and the price has gone up from sixpence a pound to shilling ten pence a pound. In less than a year, the price has gone up nearly fourfold!

The last time major hank came here for the last time, he also brought the news that the price of refined salt rose wildly. Shi Xiong decisively doubled the shipping price, but even so, the wildly rising price made Colonel Jones, who controlled the sales chain, gain more profits.

So now Colonel Jones attaches great importance to this Indian tribe at the foot of fog mountain. If it wasn't for the traffic conditions, Jamestown's top military officer would have come to pull salt once a month.

Of course, it was precisely because refined salt was so popular that Colonel Jones could only accept the stone bear's offer of exchanging war horses for refined salt.

Compared with the native Indians who lacked horses, millions of British colonists living in the thirteen colonies of North America have taken root in the new world. Most of these colonists are poor farmers from England. They have gained a large area of land in the new world, and they can freely cultivate all kinds of crops including tobacco, and at the same time, they can raise cattle Horses are big animals. So for the thirteen colonies in the new world, there was no shortage of cattle or horses.

This time, the major named Adria Fogg once again brought a total of 80 horses to the stone bear. This is because the stone bear raised the price of refined salt. At the same time, it also used the motorcade to pull a large amount of refined salt back to Jamestown.

Anyway, it's a good deal. War horse is a very precious resource for the North American Indians, but it is nothing for the colonists of the new world. To be able to trade a few hundred pounds worth of horses for two or three thousand pounds worth of refined salt is something Colonel Jones would love to see.

The exquisite salt produced by the tribe can greatly enhance the strength of the whole tribe, but at the same time, the other work of the tribe has not been put down.

With four inland river armed transport ships captured from the French, the saltpeter from Xiaohe tribe can be transported to gaoshu tribe continuously. In addition to the sulfur from the original Daqingshan tribe, at least there is no shortage of black powder from gaoshu tribe.

Steel making has never stopped. The tough boy is young, but he is now one of the top two persons in charge of steelmaking in the whole gaoshu tribe. Well, the other person in charge is wood planer, the second son of old wood.

Now the planer has completely thrown away the carpenter's craftsmanship, and plunged into the steel making. Although his father Lao Mu was very dissatisfied with his practice, Lao Mu couldn't help it. After all, his second son is in the same position as his father. He is a serious ”project manager” level.

And compared to the old wood with a group of carpenters busy every day to build a variety of wooden utensils, wood planer is responsible for the iron and steel affairs is undoubtedly much more important.

Steel can be said to be the most important and basic thing in addition to food for the whole gaoshu tribe, which has been recognized by the whole gaoshu tribe.

As long as there is a continuous supply of steel, then everything will become better and bette
