Chapter 110: A Lifetime to Discover
Nangong Keqing walked up to him and said mysteriously, "I can develop edible salt that is even finer than that of Nanyue Kingdom."
She has seen the salt on the market in their Nanyue Kingdom, and if the salt that is like a grain of rice dares to be called fine salt, then what is her modern fine salt called?
Doesn't it scare them to death?
This time, not only Qi Qingxuan was surprised, but even General Leng was very stunned, and the two looked at her in great surprise, as if they had seen some monster.
General Leng heard his sons and daughters mention this person, shrewd, capable, and intelligent, and he was the prince's guest.
When I saw it today, except for some girlishness, the others looked very pleasing to the eye, of course. He didn't have the heart to look at him.
"Young, really? If you can develop fine salt, the king will be rewarded. Qi Qingxuan held her Rouyi and was extremely excited.
"Of course, if it's fake, but you have to eat first." She is a double doctorate, and science is her forte.
Qi Qingxuan was excited and sat back at the dinner table.
The housekeeper watched from the side, and he liked His Royal Highness the county lord more and more, and he could always control the prince and make the prince feel good.
For the sake of this fine salt, he even sped up the speed of eating, and he was a little impatient: "Young, you can tell this king, you can really develop fine salt?" ”
Qi Qingxuan once again confirmed that it would be best if he didn't have to fight each other, but if not, he would be criticized.
Nanyue Kingdom is going to be attacked after all, but not now.
Nangong Keqing saw that the two were in a hurry, so she took out a bottle of modern edible salt from her sleeve, opened the cap, and poured it into the hands of the two......
At this moment, when the two of them saw clearly the fine salt of the white flowers in front of them, their faces immediately paused, and then they were extremely shocked, curious and excited, this salt was white and fine, I don't know how many times thinner than the salt of Nanyue Kingdom!
The two licked their fingers dipped in fine salt, and in an instant, General Leng burst into tears and was excited, even the saltiness was better than that of Nanyue Kingdom!
He clenched his fists with trembling hands, and said loudly: "The old man is Xie Tao Gongzi for Dashun Country." What a great kindness!
"General Leng doesn't need to say thank you, just do what he can." Nangong Keqing said modestly.
Where is this within our ability, this is a great thing for the benefit of the people!
Qi Qingxuan was extremely moved, the light under his eyes was as brilliant as neon, what more could he ask for if he had such a red face?
He stepped forward and hugged Nangong Keqing, his voice was sexy and magnetic, "Thank you!" ”
Nangong Keqing is a little shy, and there are people next to her! General Leng was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, or the prince was moved, a thank you hug.
"You first find some reliable people, I will teach them how to make it, and you can produce it in large quantities. Be sure to do a good job of confidentiality. Nangong Keqing instructed.
From that day on, Nangong Keqing and Qi Qingxuan were developing fine salt in the factory of a disposal office.
"Lord Wang, the salt of Nanyue Kingdom belongs to well salt, and the refining is not pure enough, nor is it fine enough, but this is not the key, the key is that the purity of their salt refining is not enough, the quality is very poor, there are harmful substances, and long-term use is harmful to the body." Nangong Keqing explained professionally.
"If we can make this kind of salt with good quality, we in Dashun Country will not have to spend high prices to buy salt every year, and we have our own salt road, so we are still worried that the salt merchants will be monopolized by them?" Qi Qingxuan was full of emotion, how could a big country be so constrained.
"Yes! Once fine salt is made, there can be no trafficking of illicit salt, and the most profitable industries since ancient times are all monopoly industries without exception, and monopoly means huge profits. If they monopolize the market, they will begin to lower the price and sell the price, and ruthlessly squeeze the small businessmen and small stoves, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
In response to such a situation, the head of her analysis is Dao.
Qi Qingxuan's appreciation for Nangong Keqing is getting stronger and stronger, she is a business-minded person, with a secret recipe in her hand, it is possible to be rich and rival the country.
But she can be so generous and selfless, and at the same time, he has to admire her analysis and insight into the monopoly of salt merchants, how can there be such a wonderful person in this world?
Qi Qingxuan nodded in agreement, and the doubts in his heart made him feel an impulse, "Young, why are you willing to teach the secret recipe you developed to this king?" This is a way to rival the rich. ”
Nangong Keqing turned around, stared at him, and showed a sunny smile, "First, I'm not short of money; Second, I don't want to be a national talent; Third, such good things can only be handed over to the country and the prince to better benefit the people, and besides, because of the ......"
She paused, stretched out her small hand to take his big palm, and wrote a word on the palm of his hand.
"You?" Qi Qingxuan raised his eyes and read out faintly.
A "you" written under her finger The words made Qi Qingxuan's deep eyes shake fiercely, and a heart in his chest beat violently.
……
The workers Qi Qingxuan found were all reliable people, and the middle-aged man named Sang Zi was the leader of Qi Qingxuan, who was Qi Qingxuan's confidant, and Nangong Keqing carefully taught him the process one by one.
At the same time, he explained and demonstrated at the same time, and several workers watched intently.
"The salt produced by Nanyue Kingdom contains more impurities, at most it is called coarse salt. We dissolve, precipitate, filter, and evaporate coarse salt to produce refined salt. ”
"The criteria are that the whiter the color, the finer the particles, the purity, the better, and the fewer impurities."
"Look." Nangong Keqing was so busy that she was sweating, and excitedly called them over.
Everyone looked at the fine salt in the container, and they were all excited.
"Peach Child, it's really a god and a man......" Mulberry cried excitedly, admiring.
"To be able to make such fine salt, our Dashun country is blessed."
"The salt of their Nanyue Country is also embarrassed to be called fine salt? Look at the peach boy refined, this is fine salt. ”
"We finally don't have to eat the salt of Nanyue Country anymore......"
Qi Qingxuan stepped forward and pinched a small handful, and licked the tip of his tongue, the same as the sample taken out by Nangong Keqing.
Nangong Keqing blinked happily, raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Our salt is much better than their Nanyue Country, the key is to eat safely and without harmful substances." ”
At this moment, Qi Qingxuan's eyes were like torches, and Nangong Keqing was a little afraid to meet his burning gaze, "Young, you can always amaze this king." ”
Nangong Keqing's eyes flashed, her chin raised, and she was a little arrogant: "There are even more things you can't imagine!" ”
Qi Qingxuan became interested, raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth crossed a beautiful arc: "Oh? Let's talk about it, let this king see and see. ”
Nangong Keqing pretended to be profound: "You know that reading a good book, why don't you skip the middle part and go directly to the finale on the last page?" ”
Qi Qingxuan's eyes were bright and deep, tightly locking her bright starry eyes, "Because the middle is very exciting, I don't want to miss it." ”
"So...... It's not interesting for me to say it myself. She looked up slightly, looked up at him, and smiled brightly.
Qi Qingxuan agrees with her words very much, he is very willing to slowly discover her beauty, there is still so long in his life, there is no hurry.
"Good! This king is willing to spend a lifetime to find out. ”
Nangong Keqing was a little ecstatic, was he making a promise to himself? Such a deep and tsundere man!
He rubbed her heart dotingly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Nangong Keqing loved his little movements very much, the feeling of a big hand brushing the top of his head gently.
Half a month later, fine salt was listed in large quantities, of course, the price was the same as the so-called fine salt in Nanyue Kingdom, and of course, their salt was not cheap, which undoubtedly suppressed Nanyue Country and gave them a mouthful.
Two months later, the price of fine salt in Nanyue Kingdom was lowered several times, and finally he was forced to be cornered, and the price fell lower and lower, and the people who came to ask for goods were some poor people who could not afford to buy fine salt.
Therefore, the economy of Nanyue Kingdom has plummeted, from the economic power that relied on the monopoly of salt merchants before, to the salt merchants of various countries, to the despondent to the end of the salt merchants, no one cares, sadly, they can't understand why this is happening until they die.
Since the fine salt of Dashun Kingdom was put on the market, the common people cheered and were all amazed, and privately discussed what kind of capable person this person who developed fine salt, and all sang praises of his greatness.
"Miss, you are known to be a god outside, but you don't know that the great man praised by the outside world is a beautiful daughter." Yuhe shouted happily, her sister and Miss are fairies descending to earth.
Nangong Keqing said indifferently: "Let them pass it on!" It's going to stop soon, there's always one gossip instead of another, isn't it? ”
"That's what Miss said." Yu Lingdao.
"Miss, I made an appointment with the eldest prince today, I can't be late!" Chongyang urged.
"Okay, bring all the gifts."
Fragrant bamboo
"Shaodong, the eldest prince and the Leng brothers and sisters have arrived." Wang Jiang, the big shopkeeper of the fragrant bamboo, came to report.
Nangong Keqing hurriedly got up to greet him, "Great prince, please come inside." ”
As the emperor's first son, Qi Qing doesn't like power or court disputes, so he indulges in business, which is also rare.
"Recently, Brother Peach has become famous!" Qi Qing joked as soon as they met.
"But no, the streets and alleys have spread, you are really the first hero of our Dashun country." Leng Yan sincerely admired on the side.
Leng Ling'er also joined in the fun, and said with a small mouth: "I think Brother Tao is righteousness, dedication to the spirit, for the country and the people, there is such a good development secret recipe in his hand, do you want anything?"
"Sister, what you said is really good, that's exactly what you said." Leng Yan suddenly felt that his sister had grown up and was very good at talking.
Nangong Keqing was a little embarrassed, she was really a little overwhelmed by their compliments, "Don't compliment me, I just can't get used to Nanyue Kingdom's shameless behavior, besides, it's nothing, it's my honor to do what I can for the people." ”
"Brother Tao, you are polite, this is the righteousness of the country! O the well-being of the people! This prince really admires. ”
The eldest prince looked at her with sincere eyes, extremely appreciative, this woman is extraordinary, no wonder the Seventh Emperor Uncle ......
