0116 Unification of Sanfu Salt Road

After a few sips of soup, someone finally tasted the taste! A man held up a spoon and shouted, "This salt is not right! There's no smell of the sea! ”

Someone immediately followed up and said, "Yes, not only does it not smell fishy, but even the astringency of sea salt is gone!" ”

"Not only that, but the saltiness is much purer, just plain salty!"

After a few people's prompting, everyone tasted the soup in the bowl more carefully. And the more I taste, the more I feel that what a few people just said is right. The soup bowl itself is not big, and everyone can drink the soup in a few sips. Everyone looked at Liu Pei again, waiting for Liu Pei to explain.

Wang Chuanhao put away the plate in front of him, poured the small pocket in his hand on the table, and there was a pile of salt on the table. But when these two piles of salt are put together, the comparison is different. The first batch of salt particles was relatively large, and the color was yellowish and black. And this pile of salt is different. The color is snow-white and free of impurities. It was piled up like a fresh snow in early winter. And the particles are very delicate.

Everyone was taken aback when they looked at this pile of salt, and they reached out to pinch a pinch of salt and put it in the palm of their hands to examine it carefully, and also pinched a few grains and put them in their mouths to savor them. This pile of salt really doesn't have the astringency and fishy smell of the previous sea salt. Everyone immediately made a big uproar and asked Liu Pei noisily what kind of new salt is this?

In fact, this is not a new salt, but because Liu Pei asked people to re-refine those sea salts. It is the simplest re-dissolution, using fine sand and charcoal to filter the salt brine and remove impurities. After processing in this way, the taste is naturally much better.

In fact, the ancients did not know how to filter and recrystallize these things. It's just that anyone who eats these refined salts is a dignitary. They only need a small amount to make enough for them to use. As for the common people of the people, it doesn't matter, it's good to eat salt, who cares if the taste is pure! Therefore, this practice of refining table salt has never been promoted. Moreover, this technology of refining table salt has always been in the hands of high-level people, and has not been spread. The people at the bottom don't know about it.

Liu Pei looked at everyone's eager eyes and asked, "I researched this salt." The taste is pure, there are almost no impurities, and the color is snow-white. That's why I named it Snow Salt! What do you think the price of this snow salt should be? ”

Most of these salt lords are illiterate, and they only occupy a salt road by virtue of their courage and ruthlessness. Naturally, they don't know how to process salt. I don't know how much it costs to refine table salt. After hesitating for a long time, a person finally said, "I'm afraid I want four or five taels of silver, right?" When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense, and they all nodded in agreement.

Liu Peihaha smiled and said, "I'll tell this." This snow salt is only three taels of silver a load! ”

The crowd was in an uproar again. Such a delicious and beautiful snow salt, if it is only sold for three taels of silver, many medium-sized families will not be able to afford it. In this way, the profit has been increased by a large margin, and everyone can earn a lot more. Naturally, these salt barons were overjoyed. Sycophants don't want to throw money over.

Liu Pei was also a little floated by this series of sycophants! But fortunately, he was still awake, he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Okay, everyone should stop busy patting on the back." Keep it to shoot Wang Chuanhao! That's all I have to say today, you can talk to Wang Chuanhao about the rest. In the future, he will be responsible for everything on the salt road. ”

After speaking, Liu Pei got up and left. The salt lords naturally sent him out of the store all the way. Then he surrounded Wang Chuanhao. When it was far away, Qi Qitao said on the side: "Family master, you see that these salt owls are like dogs with bones!" I'm afraid that Wang Chuanhao will be torn to pieces at this time. ”

Liu Pei smiled and said: "Where can people in the world hide from this word fame and fortune?" These salt barons don't seek fame, they can only seek profit. Give them a little more benefits, and they will naturally be able to do anything! ”

After speaking, Liu Pei put on a smile, asked Qi Qitao seriously, and said, "Have you studied the news that Liu Jiang gave you?" Everyone nodded their heads again and again to indicate that the research understood.

Liu Pei said: "In this case, Liu Jiang, you can release the news, tell those salt lords, and give them a month to follow my rules." After a month, they were all released. When the time comes, kill what should be killed. Hurry up, don't be merciful! In the past few days, everyone must practice diligently, don't be defeated by others, it doesn't look good on your face! Several people immediately agreed.

In the following time, Liu Jiang first sent a message to the salt lords in the land of Sanfu, telling them that they could only purchase goods in the future through Wang Chuanhao's hands. I haven't reported to Wang Chuanhao in a month, so let's wait for the fight.

You must know that Liu Pei's reputation has long spread in the salt lord circle. The salt barons have long known that there is such a raptor crossing the river. So after receiving the news, everyone started their own ideas. The small family didn't dare to offend Liu Pei, so he obediently reported to Wang Chuanhao and started to do things according to the rules. Some salt lords decided to wait and see the wind first, and they would not ship it for the time being. There are also a few relatively large forces that go their own way and ignore Wang Chuanhao. In short, the three places of Qing, Lai, and Deng are calm on the surface, but they are secretly surging!

Liu Pei left Fengmeng Town and returned to Fushan Village as the shopkeeper. The next thing he had to deal with was a mountain of little things. First of all, the Spring Festival is over, and we are about to prepare for spring ploughing. The homeless people were still waiting eagerly for him to distribute seeds and farm tools. There are also a bunch of young men under his command who need to eat, drink, and Lazar to arrange. And a lot of things like that.

And what about the people around you? Except for Uncle Qi, who has some knowledge, the rest are reckless men who don't know a single word. You let them do farm work or use knives and guns, one by one. If you let them take care of the specifics, then you just wait to wipe their butts! So Liu Pei could only bite the bullet and go on by herself. So now he desperately needs someone who can help him logistically and internally. But unfortunately not!

But there's good news. On the fifth day after he returned to Fushan Village, Yang Jingfa sent a family member to send Liu Pei's 100 households to tell him. This has to say that Yang Jingfa's hands and feet are very fast. Normally, 100 households already belong to the serious 800 high-ranking officials in the health center. It is very difficult for someone to be promoted to this position, especially in peacetime. But Liu Pei, a hundred households, does not want food or salary, and it is not really lacking. So Yang Jingfa can still arrange it.
