Di Dao Fu Ya,

Li Guang put aside the documents sent by the counties and border gates in Longxi, and put the bag containing salt that Li Jiao had sent two days ago in the center of the desk.

The mouth of the bag was opened by him, and the salt of Bai Huahua came into contact with the air, and a thick salty smell spread in the air.

Regardless of his image, he grabbed a handful of salt and crushed it with his hands.

The soft and smooth touch was completely different from the coarse salt he had been exposed to. This fine salt is more delicate and does not have the feeling of being awkward.

His face was solemn, and he looked at Li Jiao, who was kneeling below, "Jiao'er, this is the salt you sent two days ago, what do you think of this salt?" ”

Li Jiao has followed Li Guang for so many years, so he naturally understood what the other party meant, and smiled bitterly, "My lord, looking at the quality of this salt, I'm afraid that from now on, Jiaodong will be one of the strategic places of the Han Dynasty, and the Nanzhong Army will be similar to the Li clan in Longxi and the Cheng clan in the north, as the army stationed in Jiaodong!" And that General Nanzhong, I'm afraid that in His Majesty's mind, it will be even better. ”

"You have a point." Li Guang's eyes have always been on the salt, "Being able to make this kind of salt, I now believe a little that he has obtained the true inheritance of the Marquis." ”

He pricked up his ears and listened to the rustle of salt, and asked, "Did the soldiers react after eating the salted fish?" Abnormal reactions and the like. ”

Now he only wants salted fish to be unsuitable for the Longxi soldiers.

If salted fish also ......

"My lord, everything is normal. The soldier just reacted that the taste of salted fish was too salty. Oh, Huotou Camp has studied it, soak it in water, although the taste is not very good, but it is easy to eat. Otherwise, pasta is required. Just eating salted fish is not good for the body,"

Li Guang's face was bitter, "Heh, it's just too salty?" ”

"Knock knock." He knocked on the table with his hand, "How expensive is the price of salted fish compared to chicken, duck, and mutton?" ”

Li Jiao's teeth kept colliding, and he didn't know whether to say it or not, so he had to lower his head and say in a weak voice, "My lord, salted fish is more than half cheaper." ”

"Whew!" Li Guangchang exhaled, from a state of kneeling to sitting on the ground all of a sudden, he looked at the roof, closed his eyes, "What I was worried about still happened." ”

"Why are you so alarmed?" Li Jiao was puzzled.

"Pepper, salted fish is meat, and the price is cheaper than other meats, do you think Chang'an will cut the military spending on the border? Jiaodong salt is exquisite, I don't know how much better than coarse salt, since then, the military expenditure of the Han Dynasty, does it rely on the Jiaodong salt industry? Li Guang gasped and was in a bad mood, "Letter from Chang'an, Your Majesty has let Sang Hongyang take charge of the transportation and trading of salt and salted fish. The position of Da Nong Cheng has always been to assist Da Nong Ling in dealing with national taxes, so how can he be in charge of salt fish? The big farmer who is in charge of salt fish has never had it since Qin. ”

"Whew!" He took a long breath again and muttered, "I'm afraid, from now on, not only Wulongxi, but also Beidi, Yanmen, and Daijun will be restrained by Jiaodong." Controlling the salt is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the entire Han! ”

Li Jiao arched his hand and comforted: "Don't be too worried, don't forget, compared to Beidi and Yanmen, Wulongxi, there is a key figure in the Nanzhong Army!"

"Jiao'er, you're right!" When Li Guang thought of Li Fu, he was immediately relieved, "With Brother Frustration here, I Longxi at least has a chance to maneuver." ”

Unless Li Fu wants to turn his back on his ancestors, otherwise, he will be a person from Longxi all his life!

What about being labeled as a South Chung Army? As long as the surname is Li, he is a part of Longxi!

"Jiao'er, after you go back, write a letter to Li Fu in the name of your father. There is no need to say too much in the letter, just care about his life, of course, try to mention the situation at his house," Li Guang said lightly: "In addition, let the housekeeper send someone to Li Fu's house to deliver something." Winter is coming soon, and the winter in Longxi is cold, so send more charcoal, firewood, cloth, and thick clothes. ”

"Father rest assured, after the child returns, he will start to do it immediately."

"Well, also, immediately write a letter to Taiyuan Jun, saying that Wu Longxi wants to order a large amount of salt to be used as a strategic material. At the same time, use the funds of the Longxi treasury to buy a large number of coarse salt! I want to use coarse salt to cut off the way for merchants to go out of Longxi and smuggle salt! Use coarse salt in exchange for a large number of lambs, and exchange food for the soldiers! ”

"Father, when Chang'an wrote to him before, he asked the border pass to order salt, and he wrote his cap price, and the cost of the salt purchased was deducted from the annual military expenditure. Wu Longxi, how much do you want to write? ”

"Wu Longxi, acceptable price." Li Guang paused word by word, "Three hundred and ten dollars per stone!" ”

"Three hundred and ten dollars? Wouldn't it be too high? At this price, the military budget for the coming year will be ......"

"Not high! Not high at all! Li Guang grinned, "Now that it is winter, the salt production is declining, and three hundred and ten yuan a stone has already been earned." In the coming year's military expenses, I can earn it back by selling coarse salt to the Xiongnu. ”

Although Shinong is a businessman and a businessman, the businessman is lowly, but it can make Longxi stand at the head of the border pass and be a businessman, so what's the matter?

Worried that Li Jiao would not pay attention to it, Li Guang instructed again, "Jiao'er, remember to let the herald rush to Jiaodong at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles!" Cheng doesn't know that the fat man has a bad stomach, if he lets his people go to Jiaodong first, Wulongxi officialdom, it is estimated that he will not even be able to drink the soup. ”

……

Northland

As Li Guang said, on the other side, Cheng Buzhi was giving an order to Li Xi: "Li Xi, immediately let people set off with my warrant, and I want to buy all the salt in Jiaodong!" Tell General Nan Zhong that money is not a problem, how much salt he has, and how much I collect in the north! ”

Li Xi had a black line on his head, looking at the boss who was excited and his muscles trembled, "General, buy them all, won't it be too risky?" I don't have much military spending in the north. ”

Cheng Buzhi grinned, "Don't worry about military spending, as long as the salt is in hand, I can sell it to Li Guang at a higher price and sell it to Su Yi at a higher price." If you buy it for three hundred, I will sell it to them for four hundred. One in and one out, net profit of 100 dollars, so calculated, no loss at all! ”

Li Xi felt that it made sense and asked, "Do you want to buy salted fish?" ”

"Buy! How much you have, how much you buy! Northland is not bad for money! Cheng Buzhi raised his hands and shouted, "I tasted the taste of salted fish a few days ago, and I think the taste is okay, and it is worth buying in large quantities for requisition." ”

Anyway, after the goods were delivered, the merchant went to Chang'an to get the money, why didn't he buy it?

has Chang'an, no matter how much salt he has, he can eat it!

In view of the fact that there is a Daiguo between Beidi and Jiaodong, he couldn't help but advise, "You will arrange it now, don't let Yanmen and Daijun pick peaches!" Bai Mingzhe's ancestral home is Taiyuan, if they talk about feelings, there is no advantage in the north! ”

Li Xi: "...... No"
