Yang Tieniu and Lao Cun were dumbfounded, they just thought that refining salt could be exchanged for food and various materials.

But he didn't think about the impact of selling high-priced salt at all, and was reminded by Bai Yuqi, and cold sweat came down.

However, Bai Yuqi didn't let them buy materials on a large scale, but he also asked them to expand the scale of salt production, so what should be done with the refined salt?

"Why do you want to give it away for free? With today's salt prices, the salt we send out is actually unaffordable for the common people, and it has no effect on alleviating the salt shortage!"

"But we can use salt to go to those big households who are not short of money and food, in exchange for grain and hire people to work! Aren't there still a large number of displaced people outside Chang'an City who have no food or clothing?"

"Even if we give away the refined salt for free or sell it at a low price, it will only cheapen those big and wealthy merchants who have the money to buy salt, you also said, even if the salt we sell is already at a high price, there are still rich people who buy it at a higher price. ”

Bai Yuqi explained: "Once we sell at a reduced price, they will only sell it at a high price, so why don't we come by ourselves instead of letting them make a profit?"

"What can you do if you hire so many people to come back?"

The old village where the thoughts of small farmers exploded couldn't help but worry, the big man is the big man of his own family, and now the good life of Kushui Village is all the gift of the big man.

If he recruited other people, he was worried that the eldest master's trust in the Yang family would be carved up, and then the fairy days of having a full meal and meat to eat at a meal like this would be gone.

"There's a lot to do!"

"If you buy those livestock, will you just rely on these people in the village to take care of them?"

"Cattle and sheep don't need to be herded, pigs don't need to be fed, and so many big animals are bought, is this how they are raised?"

Bai Yuqi said: "Don't you have to find a way to use it, open up more wasteland to grow food?

"Yes...... But when the time comes......"

Lao Cun is dumbfounded: "This person has many eyes, this salt field ......"

"It is impossible to buy and sell this high-priced salt, and the method of making salt cannot always be in our hands. ”

Bai Yuqi knew that the old man was worried that the only pillar industry in Kushui Village would leak out, so he smiled and said, "Look at it, it won't be long before someone from the government will come to the door to ask for a way to make salt!"

Hearing Bai Yuqi's words, Sun Laodao stroked his beard beside him and nodded frequently, only the old village that he couldn't understand was suffering from gains and losses.

"The only question is, will our hiring of a large number of displaced people cause government restrictions?"

Bai Yuqi thought for a while and said, "When the time comes, if you think that we plan to gather a crowd to rebel, it will be troublesome to send troops to encircle and suppress!"

"Immortal Venerable doesn't need to worry, now a large number of people from the north have been displaced by the Turkic military disaster and gathered outside Chang'an City to survive. ”

"But the government is also unable to resettle, so it can only give some gruel to appease the people, and I don't know how many people can only sell their sons and daughters as slaves in order to survive. ”

"A large number of displaced people gather outside Chang'an City, a little carelessness is a disaster, tomorrow the disciples will go down the mountain with the iron ox, and report to the government on the grounds of building a medicine house and opening a medicine garden in the mountain, and recruit the displaced people to work in the mountain!"

Sun Laodao stroked his beard, nodded frequently at Bai Yuqi's plan to help the homeless, and even patted his chest with a big bag to say that he could handle it.

This made Bai Yuqi's eyes light up, this old man has done good deeds for a hundred years to help the world and save people, and the prestige he has accumulated among the people is not blown, and no one dares to suspect that he intends to gather people to rebel, this is the role of a good reputation.

Moreover, this old man was a thief and a thief, and he never asked Bai Yuqi why he was reluctant to come forward.

Because he is also unwilling to swagger in Chang'an City, every time he shows up, either a noble family wants to invite him to his home to make offerings, or the emperor Lao'er wants him to go to the palace to be a royal doctor, which is really troublesome.

He is willing to give people a look at diseases, research medicinal materials or something, otherwise he would not hide in the mountains all his life, and he would not be willing to become an official.

With this fairy old man coming forward, Bai Yuqi, who had already planned to surface as a last resort, found that he seemed to be able to survive for a while!

"Well, when the time comes, I will write down the method of making salt, and you will take it to the government to dedicate it. ”

"By alleviating the salt shortage, we must be able to exchange for some policy support!"

Bai Yuqi thought about it for a while and said: "But before that, we have to prepare more salt first, and first cut a wave of leeks from those big families in Chang'an City who are rich and unkind!"

Because the method of salt production has attracted the covetousness of people in the army, and judging from the fact that the other party is disguised as a mountain bandit.

It is estimated that Yang Tieniu and his group have discovered the secret trade route of transporting salt and want to master it in their own hands to make a profit.

I probably didn't expect that salt could also be produced in the Zhongnan Mountain near Chang'an, and I didn't expect that someone had mastered the method of making salt that could detoxify the poisonous rock brine.

Bai Yuqi's move was also helpless, in the final analysis, his current strength was too weak.

In order to protect himself, he had to gather momentum with the people's hearts, and he would never allow this kind of Jiang Taigong to fish again, and as a result, he caught a biting shark.

From the moment he came up with the method of making salt, Bai Yuqi knew that this thing could not be in the hands of a group of mountain people in Kushui Village for a long time.

If you really plan to make salt, you will be reluctant to take it out in your own hands, because His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who is red-eyed due to the salt famine, wants to kill people!

Therefore, before handing over the method of salt making, making a final hammer deal is already the best result!

In addition, after handing over the method of salt production, it does not mean that the Kuquan Salt Works will not be able to make money.

Because the salt that can be produced by the charcoal filtration method is only a slightly toxic green salt, and a completely non-toxic pure salt cannot be made, so he can only rely on his skills such as [refining], [extraction], and [purification] to detoxify.

This means that high-grade refined pure salt has always been monopolized in the hands of his "immortal".

Handing over the method of salt making can not only alleviate the salt shortage that His Majesty the Tang Emperor is worried about, but Kushui Village can also collect the wool of those big dogs!

The old man and the old immortal discussed how to build a "new countryside in the Tang Dynasty" after attracting a large number of displaced people.

Lao Cunzheng and Yang Tieniu couldn't interject next to him, taking advantage of the fact that the two of them had a break in the topic, Yang Tieniu hurriedly interjected unwilling to be lonely, and talked about some interesting things he heard in Chang'an City.

One is that after ascending the throne today, he turned the world into ten realms.

The second is that the general of Tianjie and the king of Yanjun, Luo Yi, rebelled in Jingzhou and was exterminated by Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the ministry.
