At this time, the county prince's mansion had sent away the eunuch, Chen Dexing was still angry, and went to the small hall with Chen Kaizhi with arrogance.

The mansion of this palace is magnificent, along the way, Chen Kaizhi is dazzled, as if Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, if it is impossible to say that he is not tempted at all, he sat down, and waited for someone to serve him tea, he took a sip, and then said: "The reason why the salt thief took the risk is because of what?" is to make huge profits, blindly attacking, but as long as the huge profits are still there, they still dare to take risks, so no matter how powerful His Highness is, if he kills a salt thief, new salt thieves will breed again, and they will still be killed, and they will not be eliminated. ”

Chen Dexing was still angry about the unfair reward, and he didn't have much to think about the matter of salt affairs, but now listening to Chen Kaizhi's reminder, he also began to make difficulties.

Kai Zhi said very reasonably, kill inexhaustible, get rid of endlessly, this salt has nothing to do with himself, although the oil and water are abundant, but if you indulge the salt thieves rampant in Jinling like this, it is not a way.

Chen Dexing looked at Chen Kaizhi: "What does Kaizhi think to do?" ”

Chen Kaizhi thought for a while before he said, "Does Your Highness remember the refined salt that the students refined in that thief cave at the beginning?" ”

Chen Dexing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Remember, that refined salt is good, but what does this refined salt have to do with fighting salt thieves?" ”

Chen Kaizhi said slowly: "Your Highness, think about it, the cost of refined salt is actually not high, only some processing is needed, but at the same price, its taste and quality are the coarse salt peddled by the smuggler salt dealers, I don't know how many times higher, so if the price of refined salt is comparable to the price of coarse salt, who will buy the salt of the smuggler salt dealers?" ”

"Once this is the case, the salt in the hands of the smuggler will not be able to sell, and if he can't sell it, he will have to reduce the price, but the gap between the two kinds of salt is too big, even if the price falls again and again, it will still be uncared for, the sales volume is less, the price has fallen, the original profit is ten times, but now it is only two to three times, but you still need to take risks, carry your head to sell salt, so may I ask Your Highness, how many people will be willing to sell illicit salt?"

"Instead of His Highness using high-pressure means to crack down on salt dealers, it is better to draw wages directly from the bottom of the kettle, Your Highness thinks."

In fact, Chen Dexing didn't understand these things, and he couldn't help but say: "It means that this king let the salt field directly refine refined salt?" ”

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said: "The salt farm is the imperial court, this is the official salt, once the salt field is refined, the secret recipe will be very easy to leak, and then it may be in the hands of the private salt dealers, at that time, the official salt can be sold refined salt, and the private salt dealers can also be sold, this is not a long-term solution, I think, the students might as well ask His Royal Highness to give the students a convenience, let the students recruit people to practice." ”

Chen Dexing understood, Chen Kaizhi hoped that he would give him enough official salt quota.

The imperial court was a dictatorship of salt and iron, so the production and sales of salt were controlled.

For example, in the production of salt, all salt farms are managed by the government, and if salt is to be shipped, it is by no means something that anyone wants to distribute can distribute, which requires salt introduction, and the distributor uses salt to return the salt from the salt farm to the official salt, and then sell it to make a profit.

Most of the salt merchants who can get salt are closely related to the officials of the salt industry, and they are very profitable, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Now, Chen Kaizhi actually hopes that Chen Dexing can get the official salt introduction, buy coarse salt from the salt farm, and then refine it himself, and then sell the refined salt.

In Chen Kaizhi's plan, the only difference between his identity and that of a salt merchant is that he has an additional finishing process.

After hearing this, Chen Dexing seemed to have discovered a big secret, and with a look of pride, he said with a smile: "It turns out that you, this kid, also want to earn money." ”

Chen Kaizhi really wants to make money because he ...... is too poor, but he said seriously: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, not to mention that the student does this, it will also be of great benefit to His Royal Highness to crack down on salt dealers, kill two birds with one stone, why not?" What's more, for the same price, isn't it a good thing for students to make this common people eat better salt? ”

Chen Dexing patted his thigh and said: "This is easy to say, this salt field belongs to the imperial court, what this king can do is to allow you to go to the salt field to enter the official salt peddling, as much as you want, you can have as much as you want, but the price, but you still need to come according to the price of official salt, otherwise this king will not be able to explain." ”

Of course, Chen Kaizhi understood this, but at this time, he shook his head and said, "It's not the students who enter the salt." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Kaizhi explained: "Students are scholars, how can they become salt merchants? However, the students will find a way to partner with others, and then discuss with His Highness. ”

In this era, businessmen are actually not squeezing cheap industries, but it is not good to read a scholar to do business.

Because of this, Chen Kaizhi is still a little shy about this matter, not to mention that his main business is reading, this business costs a lot of money, and it needs some reliable manpower, without enough strength, this business cannot be done.

Chen Kaizhi can only choose to cooperate with others and take the way of shares, and now the only thing Chen Kaizhi has to do is to find a partner, but who has the strength and enough to reassure himself?

Chen Kaizhi and Chen Dexing exchanged a few words, thinking about the issue of partners all the time, Chen Dexing was still haunted by that fate, but Chen Kaizhi thought more openly, comforted him a few words, and then said goodbye.

The carriage and horses of the county king's mansion wanted to send Chen Kaizhi home, but Chen Kaizhi walked halfway, but he ordered: "Please send me to Xun's house." ”

Seemingly...... At the moment, the only one who can partner is the Xun family!

His future Lord Taishan, it seems, is an honest person, the Xun family has a solid background, they can afford this business, plus the relationship between themselves and the Xun family, it is also a guarantee.

When he arrived at the door of Xun's house, Chen Kaizhi reported to the concierge, and the concierge went back, and soon came back and invited Chen Kaizhi to the small hall.

In this small hall, Chen Kaizhi saw Xun You, but ......

Xun You's face was bruised again, and Chen Kaizhi's eyes were a little straight.

Groove ...... Beaten again?

"Ah...... Kaiyuki, you're here. It's getting late, why are you here? ”

Chen Kai looked at Xun You with a sympathetic face, and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Shi's face ......"

"Fall!" Xun You said awe-inspiringly: "It's been raining recently, and the road is slippery. ”

"Ah......" Chen Kaizhi had to say: "Yes, it was falling." The students came here to discuss something with Shibo. ”

"It's nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." When Weng and his son-in-law meet, there will always be some embarrassment, especially when they have a bruise on their faces.

Chen Kaizhi sighed and said his thoughts.
