Fang Jun smiled: "Have you never paid attention to what the full name of Ben Hou's sailor is?" It's the 'Tang Royal Sailor'! Benhou's sailor is under the dual supervision of His Majesty and the Ministry of War, but strictly speaking, it is only managed by the Ministry of War, and the real ownership is Your Majesty! No matter how high the authority of the political hall is, can it still manage His Majesty's private army? ”

No wonder Xiao Ban, Xiao Ming and others are puzzled, strictly speaking, there has never been an army in the history of China that is completely controlled by the emperor in the true sense and has nothing to do with the Ministry of War and other departments, even Cao Wei's tiger and leopard cavalry, Gaozu Li Yuan's Yuancong forbidden army, and even His Majesty Li Er's Xuanjia iron cavalry are not royal armies in the real sense.

Xiao Ming's eyes suddenly lit up!

If the Royal Sailors were really not subject to the control of the Ministry of War, the Political Affairs Hall would naturally be unable to govern it, and it was completely outside their purview!

The long history of the Royal Mariners......

Even if he is not the number two person among the sailors, at least he is in power and can fully satisfy his political desires! What's more, this is the emperor's private army, and now it is controlled by a strong figure like Fang Jun, and it will be the main force of the Eastern Crusade in the future, and the development prospects are bound to be broad!

Instead of staying at home and being moldy and having nothing to love, why not go to the sailor to break through, maybe in the eyes of His Majesty, you can make some achievements?

Xiao Ming's heart suddenly beat, as if he had a joy and longing for rebirth, and turned his head to look at Xiao Ban. He naturally knew that if he joined the water master, it would mean that the Xiao family would stand on Fang Jun's side without reservation, at least the outside world's opinion would be so......

That is to stand on the opposite side of the entire Jiangnan Shi clan!

Such a move will certainly cause an uproar in Jiangnan, and the consequences will be unpredictable. And the true intention of Fang Jun's move is not difficult to guess, which is to divide and disintegrate the alliance between the Xiao clan and the Jiangnan Shi clan!

But Xiao Ming really doesn't want to regret being so unpursued and loveless for the rest of his life......

Xiao Ban's brows furrowed tightly.

Fang Jun's move, whether it was premeditated for a long time or improvised, can be regarded as a big problem for the Xiao family! According to the family's standpoint, it should be refused, but from an emotional point of view, Xiao Ban couldn't say the words of refusal.

Xiao Ming's eyes when he looked at him were full of longing and pleading, a kind of longing that was in desperate situations and came back to life......

Xiao Ban shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked at Fang Jun and said, "Boss, you are giving the old man a problem......

Fang Jun said indifferently: "The things of the world are difficult to do both, and you can't have both. ”

After that, he left enough time for Xiao Ban to consider the trade-offs, turned his gaze to the Zhu brothers, and said straight to the point: "Ben Hou plans to establish several salt farms in Huating Town, but he has neither the manpower nor the energy, I wonder if Xian Kunzhong is interested in participating?" ”

Zhu was stunned and said, "What is a salt field?" ”

"Pipe" contains: "At the beginning of late spring, the people of Beihai boiled the sea for salt." Boiling sea water for salt is to boil seawater in a container, and the water is evaporated to crystallize into salt, and as long as there is fuel, salt can be boiled everywhere on the seaside, so there is no such thing as a "salt farm". Seawater boiled salt has existed since ancient times, but seawater salt-drying did not appear until much later, at least not before the Tang Dynasty, so Zhu gradually did not know what the "salt field" was.

Fang Jun said: "Benhou has mastered a new way of making salt, which does not require fuel boiling, but it requires a lot of space and labor. Ben Hou body inherits the grace of the saint, the affairs are complicated, not only to build a military port, a shipyard, but also to prepare for the construction of the city, so there is no rich energy to take care of the affairs of the salt farm, if Xian Kunzhong is interested, you can join in, and the profit will naturally not be less. ”

Zhu Yan and Zhu Qu glanced at each other and were silent in thought.

The two have absolutely no doubts about how much profit this so-called "salt farm" can get. Fang Jun's name of "God of Wealth" is not in vain, it is created by classic means that are enough to pass on to future generations. If it is only about the art of accumulating wealth, it can be said that there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed.

But like the Xiao family's concerns, Fang Jun just wanted to use a large amount of profits to win over the Zhu family and divide the alliance of the Jiangnan Shi clan......

Jiangnan overseas Chinese surname is headed by "Wang Xie Yuan Xiao", among which the Langya Wang family has declined, and now it has switched to Fang Jun's camp, the Xie family is vacillating, and has always looked forward to the Xiao family, but now it seems that it is difficult for the Xiao family to refuse the temptation thrown by Fang Jun, and the position of the Xie family is not difficult to guess. The Yuan family has always been neutral, does not involve too much with other families, and flaunts high school.

The surname of Jiangdong Wu is headed by "Gu Lu Zhu Zhang", and the Gu family is a firm "inverted house faction" and will never have adultery with Fang Jun. The Lu family is broken, but Lu Xiaoyu and Fang Jun turned their rivalry into jade silk, and helped Fang Jun harm Zhu, Xiao, the eldest grandson and other families, and the position is already clear, it is said that there is a big business that will join forces with Fang Jun. The Zhang family is similar to the Yuan family, although they are not obsessed with official careers, but they do not move around too much with other families, and they are very strict with the children of the family, and the cliff shore is self-exalted......

The so-called "Jiangnan Shi clan" is headed by these eight surnames.

But Zhu gradually discovered that the Jiangnan Shi Alliance, which was originally monolithic, gradually dispersed unconsciously, and it was about to become a plate of loose sand......

Zhu gradually had to think carefully about the future path of the Zhu family, whether to stick to the seemingly large but increasingly scattered ship of the Jiangnan Shi clan, or to switch to Fang Jun, an upstart who gradually rose and held Tianxian......

Zhu Qu suddenly asked: "I don't know how much salt can be produced annually by this new salt production method?" ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Zhu gradually almost raised his hand to cover his face......

I know you love money, but brother, it's not a matter of how much salt is produced or how much is sold, is it? This is a matter of position, it is a matter of standing in line, even if Fang Jun gives a mountain of gold, he can't stand in the past; On the contrary, even if you don't have a penny, you still have to stand in the past!

As this fool grows older, how does he love money more and more?

Zhu Qu was also a little embarrassed by the eyes of everyone, but he still looked at Fang Jun tightly, waiting for Fang Jun's answer. In his opinion, it is nothing more than a question of choosing one or the other, who gives more benefits will follow whom, what is there to worry about?

Do you talk about feelings? There are a lot of dirty things between the families, and they are all begging for a living in this acre and three points of land, and it is inevitable that there will be no bumps and bumps. When the Lu family was unlucky, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, but I didn't see anyone talking about their feelings to help......

Fang Jun smiled, and said that he likes you like this!

He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Zhu is outspoken and unpretentious, worthy of being a sincere gentleman!" Ben Hou in Huating Town planned a total of 15 salt farms, each salt field, the annual output of sea salt is definitely not less than 100,000 Hu, if there is a shortage, Ben Hou will make up for you! ”

Thirty catties are Jun, four Jun are stones, the stone is the same as Hu, and one Hu is one hundred and twenty catties, how much is this output?

According to the annual tax of 800,000 yuan per year in the last year of the Tang Dynasty, the price of salt was about 17 wen per catty, and its output was roughly 470,000 stones, while the output of the two salt fields in Puzhou was between 400,000 and 500,000 stones. Puzhou and Anyi, which are the main salt producing areas of the Tang Dynasty, only get more than 400,000 husks of salt a year, which shows how amazing the output of 100,000 husks in a salt field is!

The price of salt during the Zhenguan period has been around 200 wen per bucket, and what a huge fortune will it be?

The most important thing is that this is a deal that lasts forever, and if the sea water is inexhaustible, it will be inexhaustible!

The output of four or five salt farms is more than that of one major salt producing area, how can it not be staggering?

Zhu Qu's eyes were red, and he looked at Zhu Yan with a roar, and the greed and urgency in his eyes shone nakedly......

Zhu gradually looked at his brother's appearance and smiled helplessly.

Most of the Jiangdong families have a sea salt business, but the largest one is undoubtedly the Gu family. And the Gu family occupies a large number of coastal reeds, if Fang Jun wants to build a "salt farm", then he must have a direct showdown with the Gu family, because this has touched the bottom line of the Gu family.

Zhu gradually understood that Fang Jun was taking revenge on the Gu family and all the families who intended to put him to death in Niu Zhuji!

But can the Zhu family stand on Fang Jun's side and directly conflict with the Gu family?

Xiao Ban wanted to speak and stopped.

He originally heard that the "salt farm" had such an amazing profit, and he also wanted to participate, after all, if Xiao Ming became a sailor for a long time, it would be equivalent to standing on Fang Jun's side, so why not get some more benefits?

But directly clashing with the Gu family, which was not in line with Xiao's usual style of acting, so he dismissed this idea.

Fang Jun is drawing salary at the bottom of the kettle!

Competing with the Gu family for the reeds, how can the Gu family give up?

Cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, let alone a pillar industry that a family relies on to maintain?
