"My lord, how can you be so stupid? Are you worthy of the late king? Let's go, let's go to the Taifu's mansion now. If he doesn't come out to see us, I will bump into him and die in front of his house today!"
Sun De is the imperial censor of the Kingdom of Dai. Seeing that the King of Dai behaves so absurdly, but the Tutor is closed in, he is truly filled with righteous indignation. How could the King become like this?
That old guy Zhang Tu, are you worthy of the late king? You are the king¡¯s tutor!
"Sir, Tai, Tai, Taifu, salt! Salt! Salt!"
It was already the fifth day. The sun had been shining brightly for five consecutive days. When it was almost noon, white flowers of salt finally began to emerge from the five-acre pond.
During these five days, Tian Chong and Zhang Tu could not eat or sleep well. They crowded into a small tent and guarded the field in front of them day and night.
There is no way, this is an unprecedented first time. If they don't see every process with their own eyes, the two of them will never be relieved. After all, this is a major matter related to the life and death of Daiguo.
"It's really salt, it's really salt! And it's the finest green salt, without a trace of bitterness, no bitter taste! Your Majesty really didn't lie to me, Your Majesty really didn't lie to me! God bless my country, God bless my country Ah! My late king, have you seen it? With this method, the prosperity of our country will be just around the corner, and my old minister will die with peace of mind!"
Zhang Tu came to the salt field in three steps and two steps at a time. He reached out and grabbed a handful of salt, put it into his mouth and licked it.
Even though my face was blue from being salted, I couldn¡¯t bear to spit it out, so I knelt down in the salt field and began to cry loudly.
"Master Taifu, should we let them count the harvest first? Then we can report the good news to the king?"
Tian Chong was also very excited, but unlike Zhang Tu, he was much calmer compared to the two of them.
After all, the difference in official positions between the two is huge. Zhang Tu has been working hard for Dai Guo all his life. How can his feelings for Dai Guo be comparable to others?
"Yes, yes, you are right, I am confused, I am confused! Someone, collect the salt!"
Looking at the white salt all over the floor, Zhang Tu felt as if he had eaten honey. It was all money! These are all yellow copper coins and white money!
Apart from the manpower for the initial excavation, the manpower for these caretakers, plus some charcoal and linen used in the middle, there is no other input!
According to the king, it is used to filter impurities. Although he does not understand what impurities are, as long as green salt can be made, what does some charcoal and fine linen mean?
The two of them were like fools, squatting on the edge of the salt field in the bright sun. One of them held a cattail leaf fan in his hand, fanning himself and counting at the same time.
"One hundred stones!"
"Two hundred stones!"
"Three hundred stones!"
¡¡
"Eight hundred stones!"
Twenty acres of land, two death row inmates to guard it, plus the last thirty death row inmates to collect salt, turned into 800 rock salt in five days.
The two of them were so excited that they were speechless. Before, if you wanted to boil eight hundred rock salt, without three to five hundred people, it would have taken half a month without even thinking about it.
¡° Moreover, among these three to five hundred people, there must be at least ten to twenty old salt workers!
This is more than a dozen times?
This is hundreds of times higher!
And, this is a set of pools!
"Master Taifu, there are thousands of acres of land near the salt lake. If we dig them all out, how much salt can be produced every day?"
Tian Chong¡¯s lips began to tremble. He counted with his ten fingers, but he couldn¡¯t figure it out clearly. He looked at Zhang Tu tremblingly and asked.
"These four ponds cover an area of ??20 acres and can produce 800 shi of salt in 5 days. If we send people to dig again, based on the current scale of 10, we can get 8,000 shi of salt in 5 days! If there are a hundred, every day You can get 80,000 shi of salt in five days!¡±
"Hiccup¡ª¡ª"
Hearing Zhang Tu¡¯s mumbling words, Tian Chong burped and whipped away.
This is the finest green salt. According to the current market price, each catty of green salt costs 800 cents.
If you sell it like this, it only takes five days to make a profit of 7.68 million yuan!
This is no longer showing off salt, this is simply showing off money!
But they didn¡¯t think of one thing, the value of this green saltThe reason why it is high is because things are rare and expensive. According to their approach, it is worth not being sold at a bargain price.
" However, even the poorest coarse salt costs a full fifty cents per kilogram. What they do is a business without capital. No matter how you calculate it, they are just picking up money.
"Come here, no one is allowed to come near us until we come back. If anyone dares to come within five hundred steps, we will kill him without mercy!"
Zhang Tu¡¯s eyes turned red all of a sudden. If he really had so much money, there would be nothing that Dai could not do. The Xiongnu invaded the border every year, but Dai was unable to resist.
??In the final analysis, isn¡¯t it just because of lack of money?
"People are poor but have short ambitions, and horses are thin and hairy. There is nothing we can do about it."
With this money, isn¡¯t it just around the corner to revive the power of Daiguo¡¯s military?
"No! Just go and notify the master, I will guard this place. I won't trust it if it is left to others. From now on, I will make my home here!"
Tian Chong¡¯s eyes turned red, this is the foundation of his livelihood!
Each year, you can provide so many silver two dollars for Dai Guo. He has worked hard for ten years here. At that time, Zhang Tu was almost dead.
Who else in this country can compete with me for the position of Prime Minister?
"You're right, I'll come as soon as I go, and I'll leave this place to you!"
Zhang Tu patted Tian Chong's shoulder heavily, took a horse from the side, got on the horse, and headed directly towards the palace.
"Master Taifu, your boots, your boots!"
After Zhang Tu ran far away, Tian Chong realized that the old guy didn't wear boots and just set off barefoot!
By the time he shouted, Zhang Tu had already disappeared without a trace
Just when Zhang Tu returned excitedly to report the news, Liu Xian finally received the news that hundreds of officials gathered in front of Zhang Tu's house.
"Hahahaha, I want to see what this loser Liu Deng and that old guy Zhang Tu can do. Who are you coming? Go and invite all the big salt merchants from other vassal states to me. Tell them, anyone who wants to make copper coins should come with me!"
Liu Xian is so complacent that when he cuts off all supply, won¡¯t he still have the final say on how much the salt will be sold for?
After tonight, this matter will surely start to spread, and the whole country will start to panic, so let me, the prince, add to the fire!
Liu Xian drank up the wine in the glass in one gulp, laughed wildly and threw down the wine baron. He hugged the maid waiting next to him, turned over and pressed on her (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
