Chapter 59 Contracting the entire sea area

After choosing the person, Liu Bai pondered for a moment and looked at Fusu.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you go and stay in the mountains for a few days? Now the people from the army have arrived. If you don't go, I'm afraid no one will be able to suppress you!"

"Iron smelting is a top priority and we must not let them ruin it. When the mansion on the mountain is completed in a few days, I will move there."

Fusu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Others who were not named were a little anxious and looked at Liu Bai eagerly.

"Choose who you want to follow!"

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 down to run errands?"

"Brother Xiahou is too modest, I cannot ask for more!"

Zhou Bo said nothing and stood up directly to look at Cao Shen.

Seeing him nodding, he sat beside him and stopped moving.

Fan Kuai looked left and right.

Logistics? He can't do it.

Making salt? What’s so fun about breaking salt lumps?

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

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

Ever since Han Xin found out that Fan Kuai was a butcher, he disliked him very much.

Although it wasn’t his crotch that was drilled, who would remind me of the previous shame when seeing him?

Fan Kuai didn't know why, but he didn't deal with Han Xin particularly well.

When the two of them got together, they couldn't say more than three words before they started taking action.

Liu Bai saw that there seemed to be a conflict between the two of them, so he smiled and refused to mediate.

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

"Otherwise, Fan Kuai, how about you join Cao Shen?"

Fan Kuai snorted lightly, his face full of reluctance.

"I hate salt pimples, and I don't know how to do logistics. I only know how to kill pigs and dogs. I thought killing people is similar to killing dogs, so I might as well join the escort team. If there is an enemy attack, I will kill them all with one knife!"

Liu Bai's eyes widened slightly.

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

He poked Han Xin's arm to signal him to express his attitude.

Everyone said it was coming. Is it really okay for you to be so arrogant as the leader?

Han Xin snorted coldly.

"You can come as you wish. I didn't tie his hands and feet."

At this point, the matter at hand is settled for the time being.

Xiao He frowned slightly and looked at Liu Bai as if he wanted to say something.

"Brother Xiao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Nodding, Xiao He lowered his head and thought about what to say so as not to make the consort lose face.

He spoke after a moment.

"I wonder if the consort asked Cao Shen to make salt, but to sell it for some money?"

Liu Bai nodded naturally.

The stall is so big, and Ying Zheng is an emperor with a bad ear.

What can you do with only the 50,000 yuan given by Fusu?

If you don't find a way to make money on your own, I'm afraid you will 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 presented something to your father, he would reward you.

Since when did you stop giving me nothing?

Not only did they not give it, they didn’t even ask. Why is this?

Seeing Liu Bai nodding, Xiao He frowned and asked.

"Prince-in-law, do you know the current market conditions in the salt market?"

Liu Bai looked at him doubtfully. Do you need to know the market price to sell salt?

Wouldn’t it be possible to monopolize the market as soon as my refined salt is released?

Seeing his confused look, Xiao He understood in his heart that the prince-in-law probably didn't know.

"The salt in Da Qin is roughly divided into two categories. One type is sea salt, which is what ordinary people eat on weekdays; the other type is well salt, which is mostly eaten by nobles. I was lucky enough to taste it at the eldest son's house recently.

It’s definitely better than sea salt.”

"But these two types of salts have a common problem, which is that the places where the salt is produced are too far away."

"Salt wells are mostly distributed in Shu counties and are controlled by the imperial court. The high-grade products produced are used by officials and nobles, while the low-grade products are put into the market and sold to the people. Sea salt is even further away..."

After listening to Xiao He's words, Liu Bai became even more confused.

What do you want to express by saying all this? Why do you seem to be getting more and more confused the more you listen to it?

"Brother Xiao, you might as well say it clearly if you have something to say."

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

"Husband-in-law, there are plenty of money-making businesses. Considering your status as the eldest son, what can't you do to make money? Why do you have to make salt?"

"Due to the long distance and the control of salt by nobles and the imperial court, the price of salt remained high and the life of the people was already difficult..."

Waving his hand to interrupt him, Liu Bai finally understood what he wanted to say.

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

Salt and iron have been the weapons of the country since ancient times.

If the two can be nationalized, what can't be done then?

After hearing what he said, Xiao He was stunned on the spot.

He couldn't figure out why the prince-in-law had to sell salt?

Nowadays, the people hate the salt traders so much that they wish they could eat their flesh and drink their blood.

In order to make money, do you even have to give up your conscience?

From the beginning to the end, he felt that the consort and the eldest son were not such people. Could it be that he, Xiao He, had misjudged them?

"Cao Shen, take out the brocade I just gave you and let Brother Xiao see it!"

After hearing this, Cao Shen reached into his arms, took it out and handed it to Xiao He.

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

He knew all the words on it, so why couldn't he understand them when they were put together?

Why do we use plant ash to make salt? Is the salt produced edible?

Liu Bai smiled helplessly, he was still a little anxious.

After all, they have never even seen fine salt, so how can they imagine it?

"Forget it, Cao Shen, you go out and buy some salt. I'll make it this first time!"

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

But Liu Bai had a new idea after hearing this.

The salt wells were in the hands of the imperial court, and the sea was the main way for the salt traders to make sea salt.

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

When the time comes, he will take over the entire sea area and become the king of the sea!

Just do it, Cao Shen and others immediately went to buy salt.

Xiao He and others got up and packed their things, preparing to move to the mountain immediately.

As for Liu Bai, he naturally returned home to cultivate a relationship with his beloved wife.

Ying Yinman was still asleep on the bed, her face looking peaceful and beautiful.

Liu Bai leaned over and gave her a peck on the face, then sat on the edge of the bed and held his hand.

"Man'er, I'm back! Today I thought of a way to make salt. After I make it, I will give it to my father. I just don't know if my father will take it back to the court directly and not give me any money!

"

"Hey, tell me why our father is so stingy? He asked me to build a workshop and a school without giving him a penny. If I don't want to make some money, why should I build it?

"By the way, I went up the mountain today. 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 simplicity of that place..."

Ying Yinman listened to his chatter quietly.

Her father won’t give her money? Based on her understanding of her father, she shouldn’t, right?

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

Simple?

No, no, no, of course I won’t dislike the simplicity there, that’s our home!

And now my body is the same no matter where I lie on it?

If you can wake up...

Forget it, it’s better not to think about these things, as they will just add trouble to others!
