Chapter 117 The Development of Kuyu City

Recently, His Majesty has become more and more fond of climbing up and looking down at this Infinite Immortal Palace.

Looking at the scene of those homeless people who are diligent and busy for their own good life.

The eyes of those eagles and wolves made the ministers frightened, and they also made them tremble!

But what can they do? Are they desperate?

The emperor did not attack the family gate lord now, in addition to the fact that he did not fully grasp this "Kuyu system", and there was also a reason why the Turkic troubles had not been eliminated and it was necessary to maintain stability in the Tang Dynasty.

Once the emperor is freed up, I am afraid that it will be a family that has lasted for thousands of years and will enter the day of decline!

Those officials from a family were howling in their hearts, and they couldn't let the emperor continue to stay in this Kuyu City.

This Wuji Emperor is a scourge, if the emperor has been in contact with him and is deeply bewitched by his evil words, the world's corporal clan may have a great disaster!

Fortunately, the scorching heat is coming to an end, and the emperor is still about to come, so just endure it again...... But everything in this Kuyu City is too comfortable.

The food is beautiful, the accommodation is cool, and I am really reluctant to leave like this!

It's no wonder that the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers are entangled, but the living environment of this Kuyu City is too pleasant.

After Bai Yuqi's initial infrastructure, and the disciples of Tiangongmen carried out detailed decoration according to the design drawings he gave.

This small city hidden in the mountains has become more and more in line with people's fantasy of "fairyland".

In addition to the appearance of the building, it has been transformed into a cornice and arch that conforms to the characteristics of the times, and a large number of pavilions and garden trails have been excavated in the valley.

After transplanting all kinds of exotic flowers and stones from the mountains for decoration, combined with the unique mist scene in the bitter valley, Kuyu City is as beautiful as a fairyland of Yaochi.

Coupled with the convenient living facilities in the city, delicious food and comfortable living environment, this made the Tang monarchs and ministers, who had been accustomed to living in the Wuji Immortal Palace in a short period of time, return to the disrepair, primitive and old Taiji Palace.

I guess it's the same as people in the city who are used to living a convenient life in a big city, and suddenly move to a remote village where they have to find a thatched house to get a toilet, right?

Just when the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were worried, Bai Yuqi was searching the mountains with a large number of people...... Yes, it's like bandits entering the village!

After his busy development during this period of time, the various industries in Kuyu City have basically entered a stage of stable development.

The bitter spring salt farm under the name of Wujimen, the bamboo products processing factory under the name of Tiangongmen, the ready-to-wear clothing factory under the name of Nishangmen, and the bamboo rat farm under the name of Shennongmen have begun to export products after meeting the needs of Kuyucheng.

Among them, the output of the bitter spring salt field is the most stable.

After a large amount of salt crystals were refined by a solar furnace that did not require much manpower.

The prisoners will be cleaned out of the salt lake in bamboo baskets and sent to the salt warehouse to drain the remaining water and store it for storage.

Then wait for Bai Yuqi to go there when he has time, use spells to detoxify, fade, and shape, and make a delicate salt coin that is copied by Yubao.

Then the old and weak women and children who have no labor force in Kushui Village are boxed one by one, and sent to Kuyuxian City at the foot of the mountain through the old iron ropeway to be used as material purchase money.

Because the method of salt production has been handed over to the Tang Dynasty, a large amount of coarse salt has been produced in the salt factories built in various places.

Therefore, the originally high price of salt plummeted, from the original "salt is worth a horse" to "salt is worth a hundred", which has fallen dozens of times!

Although it is still not cheap, at least after meeting the needs of the Tang army, it has begun to be able to supply ordinary people.

However, this did not affect the price of "Da Luo Tianque" salt treasure too much, because this crystal clear salt coin is not only a kind of fine pure salt itself, but also assumes the role of a part of the currency, which is very popular with the wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty, and is more used as a transaction equivalent.

Although the price has been appropriately adjusted due to the relationship between the furious shipments of the bitter spring salt farm, it has dropped from the original "one thousand dollars" to "one hundred dollars".

In the future, it is planned to drop to "one when ten dollars" or even "one when one money", and then this price is estimated to stabilize for a long time and will not change with the fluctuation of salt prices.

Because even according to the lowest price in the history of salt "one bucket of twenty yuan", the price of this high-quality salt will be 500 times that of coarse salt, which is already very amazing.

You can't be too greedy, if you don't always refine salt like this, it is estimated that His Majesty the Tang Emperor will begin to envy, jealousy and hatred.

And pressed the salt coin to one penny, because of the value of the salt itself, and it also solved the current problem of the Datang money shortage, Li Shimin could only touch his nose and admit it.

But even if it is calculated according to one penny, the Kuquan Salt Farm is still a large income of Kuyu City.

After all, the terrible output of thousands of stones of salt obtained by the solar furnace in a day is enough to top the output of dozens of salt farms in the Tang Dynasty.

What people boil out is salt, but what he refines is directly money!

Hundreds of tons of salt have been purified, faded, detoxified, and shaped by Bai Yuqi, and they have been given a constant value in themselves.

At that time, ordinary people may be reluctant to eat this kind of salt treasure, but because of its constant value, it will definitely be used as currency, so as to circulate on a large scale in the Tang Dynasty, after all, no matter how much salt is depreciated, it will always be hard currency in ancient times.

As a result, the value of the hundreds of tons of salt produced by the Kuquan Salt Works every day is terrifying.

It is an income of two or three hundred thousand yuan a day, and 100 million yuan a year...... How much is Datang's tax revenue in a year?

Judging from the annual situation of the first year of Zhenguan, it would be great to have millions of guan a year, right?

During the Tang Dynasty, it was only 350 million yuan, and it was not all money, but it was converted from various materials such as grain, straw, cloth, silk, ironware, etc.

So, while Li Shimin didn't discover the secret, take advantage of it first.

When he figured it out, Kuyu City could basically give up the beautiful thing of salt refining and coinage.

But even if Li Shimin discovered the secret, he couldn't say anything.

Although salt coins can be used instead of currency, they are actually a kind of goods in themselves, and bartering in the market is a matter of your willingness.

Kuyucheng has taken the initiative to cooperate with the Tang government to suppress salt prices and improve people's livelihood, and the pit is mainly the money of those big households, which does not affect the ordinary poor people at all, so unless the Tang Dynasty law is amended to not allow the salt mine to be co-mined by the government and the people, the bitter spring salt field is always legal.
