Chapter 60 Follow me to find my father

The next day, Liu Bai came to the mountain early in the morning.

Originally he thought he was early enough, but he didn't expect that Cao Shen and others were earlier.

When we arrived at the salt workshop, there was a small pile of purchased coarse salt piled on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bai ordered directly.

"Cao Shen, go get water."

"Zhou Bo, bring the plant ash prepared yesterday."

"Xiao He..."

After giving the order, everyone took action one after another.

From morning to noon, I have been busy in the salt workshop.

Fortunately, Fusu was attentive and had already ordered the kitchen to prepare meals.

After everyone had eaten, they started to get busy again.

Until the sun sets, against the backdrop of the sunset, the whole mountain seems to be covered with a layer of mysterious red gauze.

"It's done!"

Liu Bai walked out of the salt workshop with a smile on his face.

Everyone was waiting outside the door. After hearing his words, they hurriedly came forward to greet him.

Looking at the pottery bowl he held in his hand, there was a pile of things as white as snow inside.

"Is this salt?"

Everyone looked around and found no similarity between this and the salt he usually ate.

"Don't worry, come and sit!"

A group of people sat at the stone table in the courtyard. Liu Bai looked over one by one and asked.

"Who wants to taste it first?"

As everyone looked at each other, Han Xin stepped forward first, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.

"slow……"

Before Liu Bai could finish speaking, Han Xin had already stuffed it into his mouth and his face turned red.

I want to swallow, but I can't.

I feel like vomiting. The prince-in-law worked hard all day to make this. Some of it is not very good...

Liu Bai rolled his eyes, "You should spit it out..."

"Bah, bah, bah, why is it so salty?"

I picked up the water on the table and drank it, vomited it up, and finally felt better in my mouth.

"Consort, your salt is too salty, isn't it?"

If you give him a piece of coarse salt, he will not pick up one and stuff it into his mouth.

But the salt produced by the Prince Consort is not as big as a snowflake.

Han Xin thought that since he was so young, he shouldn't be salty, so he grabbed a handful, but he didn't expect...

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Having learned from the past, they stretched out their thumbs and index fingers, carefully pinched a few pills and put them into their mouths.

Upon closer inspection, it is really salt.

Not only does it taste good, it also tastes so good!

Xiao He calmed down and asked cautiously.

"Prince-in-law, I wonder how much this snow salt will cost?"

Coarse salt is so expensive, but something as fine as this will probably be even more expensive!

The common people can't even afford coarse salt, and now this snow salt...

Liu Bai was stunned when he was asked. He only knew that the coarse salt on the market was one tael for ten copper coins.

After looking for Ying Zheng, he must go to salt wells or coastal areas to make salt. He doesn’t know the transportation costs along the way!

After thinking for a while, Liu Bai asked tentatively.

"Brother Xiao, does he know how much it costs to transport the salt produced in the salt wells in Shu and along the coast to Xianyang?"

Xiao He was stunned, where would I know this? But I can figure it out.

He took out a pen and paper, lowered his head to write and draw, and handed it to Liu Bai after a while.

Fusu was shocked.

This Xiao He is too powerful, he is coming out now?

Of course, the one who is more powerful in his eyes is his brother-in-law.

In the vast sea of ​​​​people, he actually accurately found such a talent, you can tell him whether he is great or not!

After sweeping through everyone one by one, Fusu only started to pay attention to them until now.

He finally understood that these people were probably really talented!

"Does this include the wages of the salt-making craftsmen?"

Xiao He nodded.

"Expenses ranging from wages to required carriages and horses, as well as losses and losses during the journey are all included."

"Then according to Brother Xiao, how much should our snow salt be sold for?"

"If we only count the cost, one tael of snow salt and five copper coins will not make a loss. As for making more or less, it depends on what the prince consort thinks!"

Liu Bai lowered his head and thought, five copper coins? This is half the price!

After a while, he felt he had discovered a blind spot.

"Are you calculating private transportation costs?"

Xiao He nodded.

Liu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, stroking his palms.

"I remember that every county in Daqin has salt officials. For example, if we make salt along the coast and send it to the salt officials in neighboring counties, and then send it to the next county, will the price be lower?"

Xiao He nodded and replied.

"It's naturally faster and cheaper to go the official route than the private sector."

"Let's go, follow me to find my father!"

After carefully putting away the refined salt, Liu Bai took Fusu and Xiao He and headed straight to the palace.

Along the way, no matter how steady Xiao He was, he still felt a little uneasy.

This is to meet His Majesty!

The Emperor who swept the world and unified the world!

Fusu was also nervous, but after all, he was going to see his father, so he was much better off than Xiao He. He comforted Xiao He softly along the way.

By the time the carriage arrived at the palace, it was almost dark.

Fusu stepped forward and took out his belt, and the palace attendants respectfully led them to Yingzheng's palace.

Xiao Xi stood outside the door and whispered when she saw them arriving.

"Your Majesty has already rested. If you are not in a hurry, how about coming back tomorrow?"

Liu Bai took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, came to Xiao Xi, and held his hand.

"Please go in and take a look. If His Majesty is not asleep, please let me know."

Xiao Xi naturally knew what was in the bag, so he secretly pushed the things he didn't want with his hands.

After repeatedly rejecting it, I found that it was of no use, so I could only put it in my sleeve silently.

"Then slaves, go take a look, please don't say anything."

Everyone nodded and waited quietly outside the hall.

As soon as they reached the screen, Ying Zheng's voice came over.

"Who's at the door?"

Xiao Xi trotted forward and helped Ying Zheng up.

"The eldest son and the consort are asking for an audience. It seems that there is something important."

"Xuan!"

"promise!"

Ying Zheng put on his clothes and sat at the table waiting for them to come in.

Since that day, after taking the elixir given by Liu Bai, my waist and cervical vertebrae, which had been aching slightly due to sitting for a long time, have recovered.

Even my head, which is usually a bit groggy, is completely healed.

My whole body is full of energy all day long, and even if I sleep for a short time, I am still very energetic.

"My son/caomin has met my father!"

"Get up, why are you here so late?"

Liu Bai took out a paper bag from his arms, opened it and presented it to Ying Zheng.

"Father, this is the snow salt developed by my son today, please give it a try."

Ying Zheng looked at the so-called snow salt carefully and reached out to take it.

When Fusu saw this, he thought of the reckless Han Xin and warned him.

"Father, this salt is very salty, just taste a little bit!"

Ying Zheng, who originally pinched a handful, silently shook some of it into the paper until about ten pills were left, then put it in his mouth.

His eyes brightened slightly as he sipped lightly.

This salt is fine and snow-white, and its taste is much better than the well salt produced in Shu.

He looked at the three people in the hall and nodded lightly.

"good!"

Forehead……

Liu Bai was a little stunned. It would be fine if he didn't reward him. Why didn't he even ask about the future sales method?
