บท 52: The Township

The next day, early in the morning, the Salt Pan Division began to organize the sale of sea salt.

It was a lot of sea salt to move, with more than 20 fishing boats hauling it from the salt fields to the dock. The villagers all put down their tools and spontaneously pitched in to help get the sea salt from the pier to the Market by the village square.

After more than a month of production, as well as processing salted fish and bacon, the northern field had still produced 240,000 units of sea salt.

The huge amount of sea salt took all that time just to be moved. It took until 4 PM for all that sea salt to arrive in the Market.

Each unit of sea salt was priced at 20 copper, 240k units of sea salt meant 480 gold coins. Deducting the 20% tax, Ouyang Shuo pocketed 384 gold coins.
