Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 59 Contracting the Entire Sea Area
After the candidate was selected, Liu Bai pondered for a moment and looked at Fusu.

"Uncle, why don't you go to the mountain to live for a few days? Now that the people in the military workshop have arrived, I'm afraid no one will be able to hold you back if you don't go!"

"Iron smelting is a top priority, we must not let them mess it up. I will move in when the mansion on the mountain is completed in a few days."

Fusu thought for a while and nodded in response.

The other people who were not mentioned were a little impatient, and looked eagerly at Liu Bai.

"Who do you want to follow, choose yourself!"

Xia Houying spoke first.

"Brother Xiao is in charge of logistics, there must be a lot of things on the mountain, how about leaving me to run errands?"

"Brother Xiahou is too modest, I wish for it!"

Zhou Bo stood up and looked at Cao Shen without saying a word.

Seeing him nodding, he sat beside him and did not move.

Fan Kuai looked left and right.

logistics?He can't do it.

Salt?What's so fun about breaking salt bumps?

When he looked at Han Xin, the other party happened to be looking at him.

The two snorted at the same time, and turned their heads away at the same time, seeming to have a tacit understanding.

Ever since Han Xin knew that Fan Kuai was a butcher, he hated him very much.

Although it wasn't his crotch, who would remind him of the previous humiliation when he saw him?
Fan Kuai didn't know why, and he didn't deal with Han Xin very much.

When the two of them got together, they had to fight before they could say three words.

Seeing that the two seem to have conflicts, Liu Bai smiled and did not try to mediate.

It is better for outsiders to intervene less in matters between men.

"How about, Fan Kuai, why don't you join Cao Shen as well?"

Fan Kui snorted softly, with a face full of reluctance.

"I hate salt lumps, and I don't know logistics. I can only slaughter pigs and dogs. I think that killing people is similar to killing dogs. Why don't you go to the escort team, and if there is an enemy attack, you must kill one!"

Liu Bai slightly widened his eyes.

Good guy, are you treating people like pigs and dogs?

He poked Han Xin's arm to signal him to make a statement.

People say it's coming, you are so shameless in charge, are you really okay?

Han Xin snorted coldly.

"Come if you want, and I didn't tie his hands and feet."

So far, the matter in front of me has been settled for the time being.

Xiao He frowned slightly, looking at Liu Bai as if he wanted to say something.

"Brother Xiao has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

Nodding his head, Xiao He lowered his head and thought about what to say so as not to embarrass the son-in-law.

It took a moment before he spoke.

"I don't know if the son-in-law asked Cao Shen to make salt, but in order to sell some money?"

Liu Bai nodded of course.

The stall was so big, and Ying Zheng was an emperor with bad ears.

What can Fusu's [-] big money do?
If you don't try to make money yourself, you're afraid you'll be killed by the system sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai felt that he seemed to have overlooked a very important issue.

In the past, if you offered something to your father, he would give you a reward.

Since when did you give nothing away?
Not only do you not give, you don’t even ask, why is this?

Seeing Liu Bai nodded, Xiao He asked with a frown.

"My son-in-law, do you know what's going on in the salt market?"

Liu Bai looked at him suspiciously, do you have to know the market price to sell salt?

Couldn't it be that as soon as my refined salt was brought out, it would directly monopolize the market?
Seeing his puzzled look, Xiao He understood in his heart that this son-in-law probably didn't know.

"My Great Qin's salt is roughly divided into two categories. One is sea salt, which is eaten by ordinary people on weekdays; the other is well salt, which is mostly eaten by nobles. Recently, I was lucky enough to taste it at the eldest son's mansion. It is indeed much better than sea salt.”

"But both types of salt have a common problem, that is, the place where the salt is made is too far away."

"Most of the salt wells are distributed in Shu County, controlled by the imperial court. The top grade produced is used by officials and nobles, and the low grade is put into the market and sold to the common people. Sea salt is even further away..."

After hearing Xiao He's words, Liu Bai was even more puzzled.

What do you mean by all this stuff?Why does it seem that the more you listen, the more confused you become?
"Brother Xiao, you might as well say it clearly."

With a sigh in his heart, Xiao He expressed his opinion.

"My son-in-law, there are plenty of ways to make money, and with the status of you and the eldest son, why can't you make money? Why do you have to make salt?"

"Because of the long distance, the salt is controlled by nobles and the imperial court, so the price of salt remains high, and the life of the people is not easy..."

After waving his hand to interrupt his words, Liu Bai finally understood what he wanted to say.

"Brother Xiao, after hearing your words, I am more determined to make and sell salt. This salt must be made and sold!"

Salt and iron have been the country's sharp weapons since ancient times.

If the two can be nationalized, then why not?
After hearing his words, Xiao He froze on the spot.

He couldn't figure out why the son-in-law insisted on selling salt?
Nowadays, the common people hate the salt dealer and wish they could eat their flesh and drink their blood.

In order to make money, don't you even want your conscience?
From the beginning to the end, he felt that the son-in-law and the eldest son were not such people. Could it be that he, Xiao He, was mistaken?

"Cao Shen, take out the brocade silk that I just gave you, and show brother Xiao!"

Hearing this, Cao Shen reached into his bosom, took it out and handed it to Xiao He.

After opening it, Xiao He became more and more confused the more he looked at it.

He knows all the characters on it, why can't he read them together?

Why use plant ash to make salt?Is this salt edible?
Liu Bai smiled helplessly, he was still a little impatient.

After all, they have never even seen fine salt, so how could they imagine it?
"Forget it, Cao Shen, you have bought some salt from the dead, and I will make it for the first time!"

Although Xiao He said that to dispel his idea of ​​selling salt.

But Liu Bai had a new idea after hearing this.

The salt well is in the hands of the imperial court, and the sea is the main way for those salt dealers to make sea salt.

As soon as the fine salt comes out, show it to Ying Zheng.

At that time, he will contract the entire sea area and become the king of the sea!

Just do what you say, Cao Shen immediately took people to buy salt.

Xiao He and the others got up one after another to pack their things, preparing to move to the mountain immediately.

As for Liu Bai, it was natural to go back to the manor to cultivate a relationship with his little wife.

Ying Yinman was still sleeping on the bed, her face looked peaceful and beautiful.

Liu Bai leaned over and pecked lightly on her face, then sat on the edge of the bed and held his hand.

"Man, I'm back! I thought of a way to make salt today. After I make it, I will dedicate it to my father, but I don't know if my father will directly take it back to the court without giving me any money! "

"Hey, tell me why our father is so picky? Let me build a workshop or a school without paying a penny. If I don't want to make some money, how can I build it?
"By the way, I went up to the mountain today, and our mansion will be built in a few days. Then I will take you to live on the mountain with me. Don't dislike the shabby place..."

Ying Yinman quietly listened to his nagging.

Father doesn't give money?Based on her understanding of her father, she shouldn't, right?

Could it be that the son-in-law wants too much?

Shabby?
No, no, no, I naturally don't dislike the shabby place there, it's our home!
And now my body, isn't it the same wherever I lie?

If I can wake up...

Forget it, it's better not to want to do these things, it just adds trouble to people!
