Yuan Xi believed Zhen Yao's words.

He showed the fine salt to Zhen Yao, and he also wanted to sell it to the states of Hebei through the connections of the Zhen family.

But....

Yuan Xi will not share the profits from the sale of fine salt to the Zhen family, even if it is not a percent. Because the salt is government-run, the profits must be collected into the treasury of Youzhou. It's a matter of principle!

Yuan Xi said: "You should know very well that the salt is government-run.... ”

This can be regarded as a euphemistic rejection of Zhen Yao.

"What do you mean by that boy looking for me?" Zhen Yao had a look of disappointment on his face.

"I can wholesale you fine salt in limited quantities and charge you half the price. However, when you sell to the outside world, the price must be set by me, and it is not allowed to raise or lower the price without permission. Yuan Xi said.

As a veteran in the shopping mall, Zhen Yao saw through the little Jiujiu in Yuan Xi's heart at a glance.

Fine salt is in the hands of the family, and it can be sold quickly, and the price must be set high. After the fame is established, the fine salt will be sold by the government, and the price will be lowered by one level. It can not only attract a large number of buyers, but also increase the prestige of the government.

"Yes..."

Zhen Yao replied slowly.

Although he didn't make much money, he was relieved to think that he was helping his little brother-in-law. Even if he gave Yuan Xi money, he wouldn't frown.

"I'm not going to let you suffer." Yuan Xi opened his mouth and said, "After a while, I still have two rare items for you to sell." These two items are incredible. I guarantee you'll make more money than your family's money. ”

"Hehe..."

Zhen Yao didn't take it seriously.

Quan should be Yuan Xi's words of comfort to him.

After leaving the Assassin's Mansion, he returned to Zhongshan Kingdom.

The matter of fine salt can only be sold when Yuan Xi prepares a large number of goods, so there is no need to rush now.

In the evening.

Xun Chen also came to the Thorn History Mansion to report to Yuan Xi on the situation in Youzhou.

One of the things that caught Yuan Xi's attention....

The 50,000 Bingzhou troops originally stationed at Yanmen Pass actually withdrew to Taiyuan and alerted Dai County. On the official road of Taihang Mountain leading to Daijun, a stable camp was built.

This thing seems to be ordinary, but in fact it hides a mystery.

Outside the Yanmen Pass was the territory of Tuoba Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, which had been resisted by Yuan Shang's Bingzhou army. The 50,000 troops stationed at Yanmen Pass have never moved. Even the Guandu War was not transferred. Now he is evacuating for no reason, and he is still building a camp on the official road of Taihang Mountain leading to Daijun, what is the purpose? Do you want to arm early?

Or is it to defend against the Montenegrin army in Taihang Mountain?

The matter has not yet been clarified, and Yuan Xi is not good to say. just kept an eye on it, and was ready to tell the Taishou Tianyu of Daijun to guard Daijun well. Not only must we beware of the eastern Xianbei, but also Yuan Shang's annexed state army.

Xun Chen continued: "Recently, furniture has been selling very well. The tables, chairs and benches we make are in short supply. He was going to build a few more furniture factories to expand reproduction. ”

"There's no need for that."

Yuan Xi did not agree.

"Huh?" Xun Chen thought he had heard it wrong: "Childe, I said that the furniture sells very well." We're already in short supply. ”

"I know. The furniture is very easy to sell, but others are not stupid, and gradually they will open their own factories and make things like us, or even better than ours. Then if you build a factory again, can you make money? Yuan Xi's mind is no longer on making furniture, it is just a small invention to earn some pocket money. If you really want to enrich the treasury of Youzhou, you have to have shocking items come out.

I thought about it for a while...

Yuan Xi already had a plan in his heart: "Don't build a furniture factory anymore, how much can it sell." You're putting all your energy into two things right now. The first is to purchase bamboo and grain from the people. The second is to build two more factories. One is a paper mill and the other is a distillery. Recruit some brewing masters and laborers. I will personally instruct them, making paper and making wine. ”

"Childe..." Xun Chen felt that he was about to lose track of Yuan Xi's footsteps. If the furniture is sold well, it is necessary to make paper and wine: "If you go back to Gongzi, the price of paper is too expensive, and it is rough and difficult to preserve, so it is better to use bamboo slips and silk silk." There are also wineries and taverns everywhere, making it difficult to open up the market. In order to enrich the treasury of Youzhou, please think twice. ”

"Why do you talk so much? Do as I say! Yuan Xi didn't want to explain, and when the wine and paper were made, it would naturally explain everything.

"Yes..."

Xun Chen left the Thorn Mansion with doubts.

Although he was not optimistic about the paper and winemaking industries, he could not disobey Yuan Xi's orders.

Next.

At the gate of Jixian County, three notices were posted.

They are masters who collect grain, bamboo, recruit laborers, and make wine.

The price is high.

There is also a high demand.

The people were overjoyed to see that they actively cooperated with the government's actions.

"Go, go... Go to the county government office to sign up, and it will be too late to wait. ”

"Brewers can make money too?"

"Hehe, go chop some bamboo and come back and try..."

...............

All the people who saw the notice left anxiously, for fear of missing a good opportunity to make money.

In this era, only large families buy dry firewood. When it is necessary to make furniture and build houses, trees are cut down, and the people who call them are all their own people. It is generally difficult for ordinary people to make a profit.

It is the first time that the government has paid for the purchase of bamboo and the recruitment of laborers. Because in the past, they used to catch strong men directly, and they didn't give money when they ran out. Not to mention the price, there is no such concept at all.

A swarm of people gathered in the Jixian County Mansion and let the government choose.

Xun Chen and Chen Deng were busy all morning.

Rattle...

Yuan Xi found the Fengshen Pterodactyl in the fence of the market.

It seemed to be bigger than ever, with wings spread nearly two meters and sharper claws. Standing on top of the head of the King Kong giant ape, when he saw Yuan Xi coming over, he quacked twice.

Ga!

The King Kong ape seemed to hate the Aeolus pterosaur standing around on its head, and reached out to grab it and throw it out of the way.

"Come here..."

Yuan Xi beckoned to the Wind God Pterodactyl.

He took it aside and asked, "How are the bats?" Can you perform the task? ”

"Yes."

"Send them out, send them to Jizhou and Merge Prefecture. I'll show you the way on the map, uh.... I hope you understand. "Although the Fengshen Pterodactyl has a slightly higher IQ, Yuan Xi really can't guarantee that it can read the map.

I can only have the mentality of giving it a try.

When he arrived at the Thorn Mansion, Yuan Xi found a detailed map, pointed it out to the Fengshen Pterodactyl, and estimated the distance it flew. Places and people that need to be monitored.

After some explanation.

"Quack..." The Anemo pterosaur nodded and shook his head vigorously, as if he understood, but also didn't seem to understand.

Yuan Xi didn't want to repeat the teaching, so he said: "Since you understand, let's do it." ”

Ga!

It left the courtyard and soared into the sky.

Yuan Xi walked out and muttered, "I hope it can be done." Otherwise, the fifteen thousand beast crystals would have been in vain. ”
