237 Salt Can Make People Crazy

Duncan left angrily with the two young men.Chen Xiansong watched the silver-white carriage leave with his mouth open, and then he suddenly felt very tired. He sat on the chair and just breathed out a pair of warm and smooth hands on the temples on both sides of his head ’, and then gently rubbed his acupuncture points.

"The technique is very good, did you figure it out by yourself?" The familiar clear fragrance came from behind, and Chen Xiansong knew that it was Bai Min who was giving him a massage.She is a combat cyborg, so she should not be able to do such a meticulous trick.

"I learned it from Huilian." Bai Min replied softly.

I see!Chen Xiansong understood in his heart that women in the Kingdom of Cathay are known to be gentle and pleasant, and it is normal to know these tricks to curry favor with their husbands, but he was even more surprised why Bai Min would learn such things... Logically speaking, Bai Min has just been 'born' not long ago, so he should not have such an active learning concept.

"Sister Qianxin asked me to learn it." Bai Min seemed to know what Chen Xiansong was thinking, and her expression was a little uneasy: "No... okay?" [

"Xiao Min is fine no matter what." Chen Xiansong said with a smile, and then he felt that Bai Min's little hands became more gentle and brisk.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after a few seconds, the vice president walked in. He saw Bai Min was massaging Chen Xiansong, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look, and then asked: "President, what happened just now?" I heard from the servant that you want me to investigate whether this association has business dealings with the Bauhinia family?"

Chen Xiansong nodded: "Yes. This matter will trouble you."

"No trouble." The vice president shook his head, and he said, "I'm just wondering why you suddenly made this decision, president. Could it be that you had some unpleasantness with His Excellency Duncan just now?"

"That's true." Chen Xiansong knew that most of the association's affairs were actually taken care of by the vice president, so he could say that he put all his blood into the association.So I didn't have the heart to hide it from him. After telling the story about it, I continued, "The cause and effect of this matter is the same. I don't know what you think, vice president?"

"Your Excellency rejected it well." The vice president smiled and said proudly: "Bauhinia is indeed a big family in our King Kate City. But compared with our Soul Thinker Association, it is still far behind. Since the young lady is Your Excellency Students who are going to marry in the future will also marry the elites of our association, when will it be the turn of outsiders to make delusions."

A businessman seeks profit, and Chen Xiansong thought that the vice president would object.I didn't expect him to be more radical than himself.

"Then I will leave this matter to you."

The vice president bent down slightly, agreed, and then continued: "It's just that there are still some problems. I have supervised and checked most of the business in the association, and indeed I have some business contacts with the Bauhinia family. It's a pity that the amount is not large, and if it is broken, it will not hurt the other party's muscles. I think. If you want to do it, you should do the second largest one, and at the same time give the other nobles in the city a leg up. Our Black Rock City branch has kept a low profile for decades... ...Since you, the president, want to do something when you take office, why don't we simply make things bigger and let other people see that our Soul Thinkers Association is not easy to mess with. Even if there is something wrong with the General Assembly, Our local associations are also not easy to mess with, lest any birds and beasts dare to play tricks in front of the association."

Hearing this, Chen Xiansong understood. The vice-chairman felt angry for some reason, and it took a long time. Now that Chen Xiansong has grown up, the vice-chairman wanted to take this opportunity to make a fuss. Last time, I let out my sulk.

"Since the Bauhinia family is a big family, the agricultural tax alone cannot support the expenses of a family." Chen Xiansong thought for a while.Said: "Vice President, you are very good at business, can you go and find out what the Bauhinia family relies on to maintain their source of funds, and if you find out, write it all down. I will figure out the rest."

"President, you don't need to check. I know it. It's not a secret. Although the Bauhinia family is involved in many businesses, their biggest source of income is snow salt." When it comes to business matters, the vice-chairman's His eyes brightened obviously, and he said with some admiration: "Hundreds of years ago, the Bauhinia family came out with a soul thinker who knew how to extract white salt from salt rocks. It is said that it can produce more than 200 catties of pure snow salt every day." There are many families who know how to make salt, but his salt is the whitest and the thinnest. The output is not low, so it can be sold for a sky-high price of three gold coins per kilogram."

"Salt?" Chen Xiansong was taken aback for a moment.In the 22nd century, salt is so common and cheap that he has always had the illusion that salt is very cheap at any time. Now that the vice president mentioned it, he suddenly remembered what was said in the history books. recorded content.In the Dark Ages, salt is an essential and expensive seasoning. Ordinary people eat yellow salt that is not completely filtered, with silt in it. Better people eat green salt, and white salt, that is, snow salt. , Only the rich and powerful families can afford to eat every day.

"Xiao Min, what kind of salt did we eat in the past, and how much did it cost?" Chen Xiansong realized that he really didn't know anything about the trivial matters at home.

"White salt, three gold coins per kilogram." Bai Min replied softly.

"So expensive! Whether it's mineral salt or sea salt, it's not difficult to refine." Chen Xiansong muttered in a low voice.

The vice president's ear tipped. When he heard it, he was overjoyed. He rushed to Chen Xiansong's table and slapped his hands heavily on the table: "President, do you know how to make salt? Is it snow salt or green salt? We will distribute snow salt, no, no snow salt, even if you know how to make green salt, we will also distribute it."

"Even if I know how to make salt, it's useless." Chen Xiansong spread his hands: "There is no sea near us, and there is no salt mine, how can I make..."

"Yes, of course." The vice president's entire face flushed with excitement: "There are several salt mountains near the border between our Black Rock City and Tachibana, but those salts are poisonous, and you can eat them if you eat them. Vomit and vent, you will die if you eat too much. If you know how to make salt, the president, there is enough space for us to collect it in several lifetimes. President, you can no longer hide your secrets. If we get this done , that is a great credit to the entire association." [

"Vice President, calm down first." Chen Xiansong poured him a glass of water.

After all, the vice president is a person who has seen the world. Seeing what Chen Xiansong said, he knew that he was getting carried away with excitement. He took a few deep breaths, and then took the cup.Slowly drank the water, straightened out his emotions, and then said with a smile: "President, I'm a little too excited, I made you laugh. It's just the most profitable thing in the world. Nothing is better than salt and ironware Our Soul Thinker Association owns a part of the ironware trade, but the salt business has never been touched, because no one knows how to make salt. The soul thinker hundreds of years ago only left the formula to himself Descendants. It was not handed over to the association."

"Do I have to hand over my formula to the association?" Chen Xiansong hesitated. The method of making salt is not difficult. Whether it is boiling salt or drying salt, he knows the principle. He only needs to experiment a few times to succeed. Even if it is handed over, there is no regret.But the problem is.Now that Riccardo is his enemy, once the method of making salt is handed over, it will definitely fall into his hands. Doesn't that add economic support to the enemy!

"President, it doesn't have to be handed in." The vice-chairman said with a wicked smile: "Our branch can do it by ourselves. After handing it over to the general meeting, we can only get tens of thousands of gold coins as a reward at most. Come and earn a hundred times more.”

"I want to know. If I can make white salt and then take care of the product for you, are you confident that the income of the Bauhinia family will drop by more than [-]%?" Chen Xiansong asked.

"It depends on the salt produced by your method, President, whether it is snow salt or green salt, how many kilograms can be produced every day!"

"Snow salt, as long as there are enough people, it is still a little confident to make a thousand kilograms a day." Chen Xiansong said.

"One thousand kilograms of snow salt every day." The vice president's neck seemed to be stuck, and the sound of breathing seemed to be dying. He stepped back a few steps as if standing unsteadily, and said He murmured: "Snow salt is the cheapest wholesale price. It costs two gold coins per kilogram, and it costs two thousand gold coins in a day, and a month...Old president, the 10,000+ gold coins you have saved over decades of hard work can In front of your students. It's a joke, a joke."

Chen Xiansong saw the vice-chairman talking non-stop, fearing that he would lose his mind, he knocked on the table several times and said loudly: "Vice-chairman, you haven't answered me yet, if you can have [-] kilograms a day Snow salt is at your disposal, can you deal with the Bauhinia family?"

"Absolutely no problem." The vice president woke up, and he patted his chest to confirm that there is so much snow salt, as long as the cost price does not exceed one gold coin per kilogram, let alone the Bauhinia family, if the royal family also sells snow salt, I can even bankrupt them.

Speaking of this, the vice president's face suddenly changed: "No, no! This matter is too big, and our branch alone can't handle it. We must find someone who can help us. That mountain of salt On the border, if Tachibana sees us picking salt, he will definitely go crazy, so we must find a strong military ally, and they will take care of troublesome things, and we will only concentrate on selling salt."

Chen Xiansong thought for a while and said, "How about the City Lord's Mansion."

The vice president thought for a while, and said: "It can only be the City Lord's Mansion. President, this matter is very important. I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to invite Your Excellency Ze Longer over to discuss it. Please wait here for a while."

Half an hour later, a group of murderous cavalry came from the City Lord's Mansion, and they surrounded the entire Soul Thinker Association.Ze Long'er was wearing pajamas, with red eyes, as if seeing a blood hungry wolf on his head, he hurried up to the second floor, opened the door and saw Chen Xiansong, without saying hello, he asked viciously: " Chen Xiansong, I heard that you can make salt, is it true?"

"Of course, I don't need to lie about this little thing."

"This is not a trivial matter!" Ze Longer grinned, and his whole body was full of bloodthirsty breath: "The City Lord's Mansion can provide you with all protection, if people with Tachibana thorns dare to come, we will help you drive them away, and we will never let you They stepped half a step into the salt mountain. If someone dares to reveal the secrets of the salt mining process, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, even if he hides in the royal family, we will find a way to kill you for you... But our city lord's mansion has In return, there must be a share, and you probably won’t hand over the method of making salt, so we want salt, and we want to share a part of the snow salt you refine.”

"You six and four, how about it!" Ze Longer said slowly, the veins on his forehead were exposed. (To be continued.)
