Wang Xianling's eyes were red, and he walked around the hall several times before glaring at Wenyi and asked, "Please tell the official that since you have such a good method, why don't you keep it for yourself?" And to tell me about this irrelevant outsider? ”

Wenyi smiled and said: "I know a lot of useful things, if you keep everything for your own use, people will be jealous, it is better to take it out and share it with everyone, win-win is my principle, it is not advisable to eat alone." ”

Wang Xian Ling calmed down for a while before saying: "I did this, but I can't take out so much money now, so please forgive me a few more days." ”

Wen Yi: "Well, when the money is ready, just send it directly to the Shanghai shipyard." I'll go back and make a detailed plan now, and you can act on it when the time comes. ”

Wang Xian Ling respectfully sent a few people to the inn, Li Tai looked at Wenyi enviously and said: "The master is really powerful, we only need 50 taels, and you will be 5 million taels as soon as you make a move!" We've never seen that much money! ”

Wenyi nodded his forehead and said: "The little fat man looks crazy enough, but his heart is still quite soft, if it is mine, he will offer 800 taels, you don't look at the Chen family's account books, he is rich now, when will he not be slaughtered now?" ”

Li Tai regretted that his intestines were blue. Literature and art said safely: "That's it, don't make the truth too impersonal, you are not short of money, keeping your heart is the most important thing, today is a treat for the teacher, you can eat as much as you like!" The brother immediately turned back into a lively bear child, and he no longer wanted to think about the silver two.

After four days of detailed planning, a "salt pan promotion and construction plan" was formed, and the three brothers were once again impressed by their profound literary knowledge. Not only the various physical and natural knowledge used in the construction of the salt farm, but also how to bid, quote, and coordinate the national salt farm are all listed.

Wenyi first handed over the plan to Wang Xianling, instructing him to build a salt farm as a test site first, and then he could sell it at a good price when the salt farm was auctioned. He also asked people to go to Shanghai County to transport countless building materials, and in just a few days, a 100-acre salt field had been formed, and after the cement was completely solidified, Wenyi ordered to start pouring seawater into the trial production of the first batch of salt. A few days later, a lot of crystallized sea salt has been precipitated in the crystallization pool, and literature and art let the laborers push the salt together like snow, and when the bitter brine gradually flows out, the sea salt that is white and snowy is up and down! I don't know how much better the quality is than the previous gray sea salt! Just looking at it makes you fascinated! Wang Xian Ling sat on the ground, his mouth couldn't be closed, and he stared at the snow-white salt mountain with saliva and smirked. The rest of the people are no better, as if they have hysteria, and the normal performance is this literary and artistic person who has seen a lot of salt in the future. Go up a few feet and remind Wang County Ling and a few little guys and say: "A salt farm is about one acre in size, and it can produce about 5,000 Hu salt per day, and there are 80 salt farms here, which is 400,000 Hu per day, and it is not easy to calculate it in a year, but how big is the profit Wang County Ling is clear?" ”

Wang Xian Ling nodded like a bull dog: "The son is talented, and the official admires!" But this item is enough for the people of Jiaxing to be of infinite use! This official thanked the son on behalf of the people! ”

Wenyi shook his hand and said: "It's just a casual thing, if I hadn't seen those old salt farms, I wouldn't have thought of this." Alright, now that this is done, we're going to move on, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”

Wang Xianling hurriedly stopped him and said: "I can't help it, how can this official be a small official who can do such a big deal!" I also asked Gongzi Wen to stay a few more days to control the overall situation. ”

Wenyi glanced at him and said, "My salary is very high!" Have you figured it out? ”

Wang Xianling said: "It is not a problem to have this method of making salt, please leave the son!" ”

Wenyi thought for a while and said, "I can stay as the spokesperson of the Qin Palace, but I want one-tenth of the proceeds from the auction, what do you think?" ”

Wang Xian Ling was a sensible person, knowing that if there was no big man, the clans in the south of the Yangtze River alone would be able to eat him alive, and immediately said: "No problem! Thank you, Childe! ”

The two sides successfully reached a consensus, Wenyi ordered people to choose land suitable for building salt farms along the coast, and he was ready to vigorously develop Haiyan mainly in Jiaxing, now salt is too expensive, and Wenyi also hopes to reduce the price of salt in Datang through this matter, so as to ensure that all the people of Datang can eat good salt.

When he returned to Jiaxing County, Wenyi wrote a letter and asked him to send it to Xiao Jing quickly, asking him to come to Jiaxing to discuss a big deal. In the name of Li Chengqian's prince of Qin, he also sent an invitation to invite all ethnic groups in the south of the Yangtze River to come to Jiaxing to participate in the auction of the salt field. It is claimed that Li Chengqian accidentally discovered a new salt-making method in Jiaxing, which is simple, efficient and of extremely high quality, and hopes to promote this method so that the people of the world can afford to eat salt.

The news was like a pebble falling into a lake, causing ripples. The Jiangnan Shi clan is not a good bird, and after receiving the news, they began to rush to Jiaxing, but they were tight-lipped to the outside world, and this ripple was only lingering in Jiangnan, but the northern Shi clan did not receive any news.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Jing had already arrived. The first sentence when I saw literature and art was: "Hurry up and make a pot of tea, the old man will run over quickly when he receives your letter, and the old man will be tired to death." ”

Wenyi smiled and poured him a cup of tea and said, "The prince doesn't have to be anxious, this matter can't be missing." ”

Xiao Jing stroked his beard and asked, "Xiaoyi, what exactly does the old man need to come over in person, isn't the Chen family's affairs over?" ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "It has nothing to do with the Chen family, it is a transaction, but the profit is a bit large, and the prince needs to come out in person, and the prince alone is still a little reluctant, and you need to come forward to negotiate some things with the imperial court." ”

Xiao Jing was surprised: "It has something to do with the imperial court?" Tell the old man in detail. ”

Literature and art: "The bad guy Chengqian accidentally figured out a new set of salt-making methods today, the cost is low, the efficiency is extremely high, you also know that salt is the foundation of the people, everyone is indispensable, but also to strictly control the material. Therefore, the benefits are very high, and ordinary people should not easily touch them. That's why I thought about asking the prince to help the kid. ”

Xiao Jing laughed and said: "I see, the kid is interesting, the old man took this matter, let's talk about the specific plan." ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "I originally wanted to sell the quota for salt production by auction, but I thought that although there are many wealthy families in the Jiangnan family, there are also families who are not interested in us. In this case, I want to take this opportunity to win over some more families, I don't know if it is feasible? ”

Xiao Jing pondered for a moment and said, "What is the profit of your salt making method?" ”

Literature and art: "A salt farm can produce about 5,000 hubars of salt per day, and I have built a new workshop here with 80 salt pans, which can produce at least 400,000 hubars a day. Not all year round, of course, but not much. ”

Xiao Jing was shocked suddenly, he didn't even care about the teacup that fell on his clothes, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "Really? Don't fool the old man! ”
