Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 189 The Mysterious Gift of a Person Who Died Ashamed (Part [-])
"How the Salt Company will expand next depends on Brother Yu Nian's ability."

After listening to Wang Qing's words, Wu Liang smiled lightly, and continued, "For the time being, our salt company is only engaged in the snowflake salt business, so as to avoid competition with other salt companies, and it is also a new way to quickly occupy the high-end salt market in Yanzhou. .”

"If you encounter obstacles in Chenliu County, you can go to Governor Cheng Yu. I have already informed him, and he will definitely support you."

"As for Dong Jun and Ji Yin County, you should go to Governor Xiahou Dun and Governor Xun Yu. I have passed my temper with these two, and I will definitely give you some necessary help."

"The rest... let's talk about it later."

For other salt companies, this is actually boiling frogs in warm water.

On the surface, it seems that the business scope of "Cao's Salt Company" is only in the high-end salt industry market, and other salt companies still have a way to survive, but in fact this is just the preliminary work. Once the bedding is completed, "Cao's Salt Company" will take control again Large-scale salt fields, the five-step salt production method can be put into production immediately, and it is easy to produce snowflake salt in large quantities.

At that time, those salts will suffer a devastating blow in an instant, and there are only two ways in front of them:
One is to voluntarily be merged by "Cao's Salt Company", so that it can barely stop losses;

The second is that it was completely crushed by the "Cao's Salt Company", and Zhang Daji has been closed since then.

And to get to this point, Boss Cao is the key...

As far as Wu Liang knows, if North China wants to expand the salt industry, it can only use the two major salt producing areas as the basis.

A east county in the west of Yanzhou (now Yuncheng, Shanxi), there is a salt lake with a long history, and it is also the birthplace of the "five-step salt making method" that appeared in the Tang Dynasty, which was used by Wu Liang to make snowflake salt.

The second is Qingzhou. Qingzhou was originally the territory of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because of its geographical advantage of being close to the sea, sea salt was one of the important resources of Qi State as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was also one of the main pillar industries for Qi State to become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

And these two places.

Now one is in the hands of Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi.

The other one is controlled by Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, and Liu Bei and Kong Rong are also under his command.

If you want to get any of these two salt production areas, you need Boss Cao to fight with real swords and guns, and you have to garrison soldiers and horses to guard. This is the process of Boss Cao's fortune in "Cao's Salt Industry". role that really needs to be played.

Therefore, it is not too much for Boss Cao to occupy more dry shares in "Cao's Salt Company".

Moreover, if Wu Liang's share is included in Boss Cao's income, Boss Cao will get [-]% of it, which is much more than the salt tax levied by the court before, which is equivalent to realizing the salt tax once again. Industry official camp.

Once such a stable industrial chain is formed, the price of table salt will also stabilize, and there will be fewer layers of exploitation, and the pressure on ordinary people to use salt will also decrease.

After all, Wu Liang still has a lot of say in the pricing of Snowflake Salt...

"Understood, I will arrange people to apply for city coupons in these places as soon as possible, and open branches to sell snowflake salt."

Wang Qing nodded solemnly, looking eager to fight.

Leaving aside the benefits, wherever the Cao's salt shop opened, the Wang family's reputation would also spread. This was also something Wang Qing had never dared to think about before. No one knew how excited he was.

But after agreeing, Wang Qing suddenly realized something again, and couldn't help asking: "Your talented brother, are you going to travel far recently?"

Otherwise, Wu Liang probably wouldn't have informed Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu and the others in advance, and wouldn't have asked him to go directly to these eunuchs for any questions.

This is obviously an arrangement made in advance.

"Well, I'm going to go out for a while recently. It's as short as a month or two. It's hard to say if it's long."

Wu Liang smiled and nodded.

Taking advantage of the fact that the "Target System" is still in the preparation stage, and there are still two or three months before planting, the "locust plague" will not appear until the summer and autumn seasons, and the "Cao's Salt Line" is also managed by Wang Qing. He didn't need to ask about most things in person, and Wu Liang planned to set off again.

The target this time is Gu Gu, which is the place where Duke Ai of Qi was secretly buried in the "History of Qi" records.

As for whether he could find Duke Ai's tomb during this trip, Wu Liang had no way to be sure, but it was still necessary to try his luck.

If you really can't find it, just treat it as a trip to relax.

As for Wang Qing and Cao's Salt Shop, he wasn't worried at all.

Not to mention what kind of person Wang Qing was, Wu Liang had already told him clearly enough before, but if he still had some brains, he would honestly manage Cao's Salt Shop for Wu Liang, instead of taking the opportunity to turn against customers.

Because under the current situation, only Wu Liang can keep this property and get the full support of Boss Cao.

Breaking away from this premise, no matter how big Wang Qing made the industry, he could only make wedding dresses for others in the end, and there was a high probability that the entire Wang family would be involved.

"Don't worry, brother, I can assure you that when you come back, the signs of Cao's Salt Company will be all over Yanzhou."

Wang Qing patted his chest and said swearingly.

"Brother Yu Nian is doing business, so I can rest assured."

Wu Liang nodded and smiled.

……

After sending Wang Qing off, Wu Liang called Thyme into the room again: "Xiang'er, have you finished what I asked you to make?"

"Done, done..."

Thyme's pretty face suddenly turned red.

Recently, because she has to teach almost every day, she has a lot of contact with Wu Liang. In fact, she is not as shy as before, but this time, she has returned to her previous state, and it is even worse.

"Let me take a look?"

Wu Liang smiled.

"Please, please wait a moment, the master, the servant girl will go get it now."

Thyme made a sound like a mosquito, and ran out in a hurry before finishing her sentence, and when she came back, she brought a small cloth bag, and when it was handed over to Wu Liang, she didn't dare to lift her head.

Then, seeing that Wu Liang was about to open the cloth bag, Thyme blushed again and boldly said, "Master, Master, can the servant girl avoid it for a while..."

"Go."

Wu Liang knew that the little girl had a thin skin and didn't want to embarrass her, so he nodded.

"Many, thank you Patriarch, the servant girl is leaving!"

Immediately, Thyme was pardoned, and ran outside as if fleeing for her life, until she finally ran to her own room, and finally gasped, covering her red and hot face: "Shame, I am so ashamed, the owner actually asked me to give it to him. Do that kind of thing..."

"I can assure you that Jingjing will definitely love this gift."

Wu Liang, on the other hand, carefully checked the contents of the cloth bag.

After a few compliments with satisfaction, he packed the things, then whistled and came to the pigeon loft in the backyard of the house alone, where Bai Jingjing was in it.

　Thanks to the boss of [Talking Octopus] for his support.
