Through the centuries of trying to figure out how to get salt out of water, they finially refined it. They used individual ponds and let the sun evaporate it so they wouldnt have to wait for larger ponds to dry out. They also used pumps to go from pond to pond. First they pumped water into the pond, let it dry some and then the brine becomes denser. It is moved to another pond which it will evaporate more until all that is left is salt.
The Chinese did not claim to use this process because this made coarse salt when they liked finely grained salt. Historians said the chinese thought of this process but they denied ever using ponds that made course salt.
Venice people paid a ton for their salt...but they did not know any better I guess. Venice ruled the spice trade of the world so they charged a ridiculous amount for salt.
Then something happened with Marco Polo. I'm not really sure what was happening this chapter but whatev

Comments about Chinese salt, Venice and Marco Polo are good points, but should/could be expanded upon a bit more.
Again, this post is short and lacks proper detail and reflection. You also use terms and gramar found on the likes of myspace (ex. whatev)
