Chapter 68: Everything is ready
。。。
The Mi family is a wealthy businessman in the world, and the wealth they have is difficult to estimate, so Liu Yi didn't mention the issue of profit distribution, but said that Liu Bei's goodness was all related to Ronghua and wealth, in fact, it was a hint to Mi Zhu, come and go to Liu Bei, he now has land and talents, just miss your money, if you defect to him now, Liu Bei will definitely not forget your pay, glory and wealth, princes and generals, it is possible.
"Ziang still talks about your salt-making method, how to operate, is it really feasible", Mi Zhu avoided that sensitive topic, the Mi family is indeed in charge of him now, but it is not a trivial matter to take refuge in the princes all the way, especially to take out all the belongings of the Mi family to bet on whether Liu Bei can rule the world, now there are so many princes, do you dare to bet on you? He wanted to wait and see, Liu Bei's opportunity must be to devour Qingzhou, if he can succeed, Mi Zhu is ready to fight, the Mi family is now in an embarrassing position, rich is very rich, but the upper class people look down on them businessmen, Mi Zhu squeezed his head and wanted the Mi family to become an upper-class person, at least he had to have an official and a half-position.
Liu Yi can't guess Mi Zhu's considerations, Mi Zhu defected to Liu Bei in the last life when Liu Bei was in the most difficult time, it can be said that the money and food needed by Liu Bei's army are basically provided by Mi Zhu, how can Liu Bei's situation be obviously much better this time, but Mi Zhu is not in a hurry to defect to it, it stands to reason that the Mi family is now in need of recognition, and the money has accumulated to a certain extent, and it will be developed in the family, but if there is no talent to make achievements in the court, this change is difficult to complete, and if you don't understand it, you don't want to, and the romance may have hidden some plots, but it's not a big problem, Liu Yi is confident that he can keep Mi Zhu, because he still has a lot of hole cards in his hand, and salt making is just one of them.
"I'll write down the process of making salt and hand it over to you, the things used are also very simple, seawater, there are a lot of them near Qingzhou", Liu Yi didn't solicit Mi Zhu anymore, just talk about cooperation, let it be natural, there will be anything, and some things can't be forced.
Mi Zhu ordered people to come up with rice paper, Liu Yi and the others looked at him strangely, the Mi family is really rich, rice paper is very expensive, it is usually written in bamboo abbreviation, Xi Zhicai is also a little envious, it's good to be rich.
Liu Yi put aside the distractions in his heart and began to write the process, he didn't need to describe all the details, just explain the general process clearly, the first step is to dig a pond to dry the seawater, after a long period of sunshine, the sun dries the seawater, and the dissolved sodium chloride in the seawater crystallizes, and about 30 kilograms of coarse salt can be obtained from a ton of seawater, but Liu Yi remembers that this coarse salt has a certain amount of toxins.
It also needs to go through steps such as dissolving crystallization filtration, and the filter must not be there, so replace it with gauze, and dissolve the crystallization is to dry it again, so that although the salt is slow, it is safe, and the salt obtained will not become slimy because of impurities.
"Ziang, are you sure there is no mistake in writing, you can get salt by drying it twice, how can it be so simple", Jian Yong looked at the steps on the paper, and did not add all kinds of things as he imagined, basically just one word, dry.
"Xianhe, it's just salt making, how difficult it can be, I just couldn't touch it before I mistakenly thought it was very difficult, so I can definitely get out of the salt, the first time is that the coarse salt has impurities and is not good and a little toxic, after the second time, it's no problem, what you get is refined salt", Liu Yi took a sip of tea from the cup, the tea fragrance was overflowing, it can be seen that the tea used to entertain them is not cheap, when can I live this kind of sluggish life, lying on the chair basking in the sun, the maid rubbing her shoulders, teasing them from time to time, it's really desirable, I still have to work hard, for the life of my dreams.
"Since Ziang said that it can be done, there is no need to deceive us, I really can't imagine that making salt is so simple", Xi Zhicai sighed, this is a lot of money, but unfortunately he can't think of this.
Liu Yi glanced at him, and only after writing it did he feel simple, there was more knowledge involved, how many predecessors crystallized their wisdom, and the process of salt manufacturing was made transparent, Liu Yi directly used it of course simple, you must know that the ancient boiling salt technology is still used to make salt, because the impurities contained in the coarse salt are toxic, and there is no need to talk about the principle, it is estimated that they don't understand, Liu Yi continued to drink tea.
"Zizhong, wait, what are you doing", Liu Yi saw Mi Zhu excitedly holding the rice paper and was about to enter the house, and he couldn't turn around.
"What are you doing, of course let your subordinates arrange for people to dry salt, it's all money", Mi Zhu said excitedly, mastering this salt-making technology, the Mi family's wealth can go to a higher level, no one will be afraid of more money, right?
"Are you stupid, on such a cold day, where to go to dry salt, this method can't be used in winter, the water will freeze", Liu Yi looked at Mi Zhu speechlessly, in fact, he had just reacted, if he had already understood, he would not have come to Mi Zhu now, but Liu Yi had to pretend to be a master, so he decided to bury this little secret in his heart.
"Well, yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I used to be blackmailed for buying salt, and now I can finally do it myself, I can't hold back for a while", Mi Zhu returned to his position embarrassedly, too carried away, after all, he still didn't have enough background, and he didn't have that kind of mentality.
"Zizhong, let's discuss the division first, the production method is given to you, and you can start manufacturing it when the weather warms up after winter", Liu Yi smiled and said, the business is important, and I will go to Zhao Yun to arrange things later.
"Ziang, you say, the salt-making method is given by you, in fact, the Mi family is dispensable in this, no matter which one you find, you will agree to cooperate with you", Mi Zhu is already psychologically prepared, the technology is someone else's, he is just a little coolie, and he can take a part of it.
"That's it, the Mi family takes forty percent, I take one percent, and the rest is kept for public use, Zi Zhong thinks it's okay", Liu Yi was a little apprehensive, everything was done by the Mi family, only forty percent for others, Liu Yi felt that he was too much, but there was no way, Liu Bei's development does need a lot of money, especially after subduing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Liu Yi has to prepare in advance, what is Mi Zhu thinking, how good it is to defect to Liu Bei, he doesn't have to worry about the money and food, but unfortunately things are not as expected.
"Okay, Mi family take forty percent", Mi Zhu heard this offer and agreed, just kidding, what are you waiting for if you don't agree at this time, forty percent of the profit is almost half, so there is a little coolie, Mi Zhu thinks it's worth it, and he doesn't think about bargaining.
"Well, then let's settle it like this", Liu Yi was relieved to see that Mi Zhu was also very satisfied, and he didn't want this to lower his profits, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and he can't do things too much, leave a step of leeway, the current situation is very good, everyone is happy.
Liu Yi and others refused the invitation to eat at Mi's house, Zhao Yun's side has not been properly arranged, just take advantage of the fact that he came out today, and deal with all the things, Liu Yi took the others to Zhao Yun's house, but after arriving, he learned that Zhao Yun followed Zhang Fei to drink, Guan Yu also went together, Liu Yi and they went around to the tavern again, the development center of Chengyang was placed on the yellow scarf, and the business of the four streets did not develop much, basically selling steamed buns, wine and meat, and some other necessities of life, very desolate, There is only one good tavern, and Liu Yi easily found Zhao Yun and the three of them.
"Zilong, Yide, you really came here to drink, this wine is very expensive", Liu Yi looked at the wine jars on the table, there are several jars, the wine here is better than other stores, and the price is more expensive, but let Liu Yi say that it is still too light, no more than twenty degrees, Liu Yi is not used to drinking, but there is no way, he will never take out the distilled liquor now, the food is not enough to eat, and he dares to get the distilled liquor out, this is not luck.
"Yes, Yide promised to invite me to a good drink, Ziang, why are you here, do you have nothing to do in the Government Affairs Department today, how can you come out freely", Zhao Yun said hello, he knew how busy the Government Affairs Department was every day, so he was a little surprised to see Liu Yi.
"There's something, but we have more important things, so we came out", Liu Yi answered Zhao Yun's question without the slightest pause, and he thought of an excuse before he came out.
"Oh, what's the matter, does it have anything to do with me", Zhao Yunkan motioned for Liu Yi and the others to sit down, and asked.
"I'm here to find you, of course it's related, I told Xuande Gong about our plan, so I decided to let you lead the army to escort the Yellow Turban back, it's best to set off tomorrow, General Guan Hai should communicate well", Liu Yi briefly said the purpose, thinking that Guan Hai didn't know if there was a solution, and looked at Guan Yu.
"The communication is very good, he is very cooperative and agreed", Guan Yu put down the bowl in his hand, stroked his beard, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, if Guan Hai, who was lying on the ground resting at this time, heard it, he would definitely get angry and fight with Guan Yu for a few more rounds, although the ending would definitely be beaten.
"Just communicate well", Liu Yi didn't care about Guan Yu's smile, everything was ready, Zhao Yun would be able to set off tomorrow, and their plan would begin to be implemented.
