As a lord, I was forced to farm

After persuading Bai Lifei, Mu Xi was even more persuasive. Under the same conditions, Jiang Ran took Quza Pill, Sanwen Lingshen Pill and Earth Spirit Pill, Water Spirit Pill, Fire Spirit Pill, Ice Spirit Pill, Jin Spirit Pill, Fengling Pill The recipes of eight common pills, such as Dan, Caomu Dan, and Leiyun Dan, were handed over to Muxi, and then one was harvested by the alchemist, and the pill recipes of Congealing Blood Powder, Congealing Fire Pill, Qingxin Pill, and Accumulated Power Pill were also obtained .

As a result, Jiang Ran and Bai Lifei Muxi reached an agreement that you may not make money or make a small profit, but I will definitely make a lot of money.

After interviewing the two, it is time to deal with the matters of each of the six departments.

In the high temperature in summer, a salt tank on the coast of Suyuan can produce five catties of salt a day. In just a few days, 130 catties of salt were sent to Jiang Ran.

But this bit of salt is not enough for the people in the town to eat, and it is estimated that it will be snatched up once it is put in Liushang Pavilion.

Jiang Ran took the wet towel from Lian Xiang, cleaned her hands, twisted a handful of white salt, and watched with satisfaction that the salt was better than when she taught them how to make salt.

Chen Mao clasped his hands together and said with a frown, "The salt field is still producing continuously, and summer is coming to an end, and my subordinates plan to take advantage of this good time to produce more salt... But the guy from Yantian said that someone was Steal salt water from the salt fields and boil it yourself."

Naturally, the local method of salt making has not been announced, and the guys who came to work in the salt field also pressed their fingerprints, but the steps of salt making go back and forth.

In short, this is a bad sign.

In ancient China, private sales of salt were prohibited, because salt can bring a lot of income, and it is also an important strategic material.

Although this world is very different from the previous life, monks and ordinary people seem to be in two worlds.

For example, currency. Ordinary people mainly spend silver dollars and gold dollars, and occasionally get one or two crystals. They may not be able to touch a spirit crystal in their entire life. The main currency of monks is crystals, spirit crystals, and even source crystals. Hundreds of gold coins fell to the ground, and perhaps the monks were too lazy to pick them up.

No matter how expensive salt is, it can't be priced with pure crystals, right?
And the ruling power of this world is firmly in the hands of the monks, so the effect of salt on the swaying of the superiors is far less than that of the previous life.

However, small towns like Suling Town still need to keep the salt in the hands of the officials in the early stage.

Jiang Ran also attaches great importance to this, "Suling Town has built a new yamen guard and a team of arresters, which also keeps them busy. Let them investigate the person who stole the salt water. After arresting them, they will act according to the law."

Chen Mao agreed, and immediately went to the yamen servant to find the arrester after stepping down.

Jiang Ran didn't pay much attention to the follow-up disturbance caused by the police's extensive investigation and search for people who stole salt.

Now that the salt has come out, it is very important to set a price for the salt.

The price of Zeyan is [-] silver dollars per catty in Zeyan County, and it is [-] silver dollars per catty when bought in other towns.

Suyan is definitely not as good as Zeyan, but the cost of Suyan is still high now, about eight silver dollars per catty, so let’s set the internal price at twelve silver dollars and the external price at twenty silver dollars tentatively.

Jiang Ran called Steward Li and asked him to send someone to take the salt to Liushang Pavilion for sale.

After Chen Mao withdrew, Jiang Ran continued to meet other officials.

The Ministry of Industry is extremely busy, and other departments are not idle.

Like the Ministry of Rites, the public school began to draw up the examination papers at the end of the term, and began to prepare some prizes for the top 120 in the monk class and the top [-] in the ordinary class.

The Ministry of War is busy making weapons and training soldiers, the Ministry of Punishment is busy formulating laws, and the Ministry of Officials led by Lin Sha is also busy every day, supervising the completion of the work of officials and the five major villages.

……

Li Tianliang finally came back with the goods.

But to Jiang Ran's surprise, the caravan with horse-drawn goods took longer than the previous trips.

At this time, the two were going to the back room of Liushang Pavilion to discuss matters.

When Li Tianliang entered Liushang Pavilion, he found a steady stream of customers coming and going. After careful inspection, he discovered that everyone was buying and selling table salt, and this table salt seemed to be very different from Zeyan, much rougher. Li Tianliang was a little surprised.

"Could it be that which city sells salt?" Li Tianliang was puzzled, "No, besides Zeyan County, which other city can sell salt?"

He was a little flustered, because the salt in Liushang Pavilion was sold at an unbelievably cheap price. He brought back a hundred catties of salt from Zeyan County. According to this trend, the salt he brought back might not be able to be bought. !

Li Tianliang put the shopkeeper on many shoulders and asked secretly, only to find out that the salt was made by the lord and several people.

Oh, so it turns out... Li Tianliang is even more terrifying!

"This, this is our own salt?!"

Li Tianliang's eyes widened, and he was in a state of doubt. He knew that the lord had great powers, but this was salt. Their town was so poor, and there was no salt mine. How did this happen.

Many nodded affirmatively, and said in a low voice, "I was also shocked at first, but this is indeed the salt produced in our town, and it is made from seawater."

"That's a good thing."

After asking again and again, Li Tianliang stroked the non-existent beard, and didn't care if the salt he brought back was sold or not, anyway, he made a lot of money from this trip.

And the lord should definitely buy some salt to go back. If it is not possible, he will carry the salt to the monk's family to sell, and he will always be able to sell some.

And if the lord intends to export the salt, he may be able to import some salt and sell it.

You know, salt is expensive, and the common people can't afford it, so he doesn't actually earn much money. He only earns one silver dollar for every catty of salt, and he also earns shipping fees.

He is too embarrassed to cheat the people of his own town, but it is different when the salt is produced in his town, he can cheat other people's money!
After thinking about it, his smile became even more obsequious, and he greeted the boy who brought the things, wagging his tail and entered the back room, thinking in his heart whether he could ask the lord to give him some salt to sell.

Li Tianliang boasted as soon as he entered the door, "The horses raised by the lord are divine horses. Relying on them, we made great progress and sold out quickly."

Seeing that Li Tianliang knew that the goods he brought over were selling well this time, Jiang Ran was not in a hurry about Lingmi, so he first asked about their journey and the outside world.

Li Tianliang's expression softened a bit, "Other towns are similar, our seafood and chocolates are getting better and better, but we almost didn't go into the towns of Zhenyuan..."

It wasn't against them in Suling Town, it was just a time of war. They had just had a conflict before, and seeing that a fight was about to start, they became more cautious towards outsiders.

Li Tianliang regretted, "Next time we won't be able to go to these three towns. For the sake of our lives, our caravan must avoid them."
