"Your Highness can really produce salt?"

Cheng Yu looked at Liu Wei who wrote and painted in surprise, salt as a necessity of life, he knows that the consumption is large, the profit is high, you must know that the salt production in this era mainly takes the method of boiling salt, which requires a lot of cost, the reason why the price of salt is so high now, the main reason is the cost, if you can change to boiling, it can be said that there is no cost of trading, so the cost of salt production will plummet, and the profit must be higher than the sky.

"Just bask in the sun, it's easy. First build two pools, one evaporation pond and one called crystallization pond, first introduce seawater into the evaporation pond, and then pour it into the crystallization pond after the sun evaporates the water saturated, and continue to sun exposure ~ Then it is coarse salt and mother liquor ~ After that, it is purified ~"

Liu Wei stopped his pen, frowned, and said, "As for the remaining mother liquor, don't waste it, collect it." ”

The liquid left over from the salt is called mother liquor, and these mother liquors can extract a variety of chemical raw materials from it, although he knew that he was killed in the war, but because of the current backward technology, it is useless, even if the technology of extracting chemical raw materials is exchanged from the system, it cannot be built, and it can only wait for the slow development of technology in the future.

"Zhongde, this is the recipe for drying salt, and it is also the foundation for us to govern and develop Qingzhou in the future, so we must take care of it." Liu Wei handed the prescription in his hand to Cheng Yu, thought for a while, and then asked: "Does Zhongde know the world's wealthy businessmen who sell salt?" ”

Cheng Yu cautiously put away the recipe, this recipe is a weapon to grab money, but he didn't expect Liu Wei to hand it over to him without hesitation, and this trust was enough for him to do his best and die.

"As far as the minister knows, the largest wealthy businessman in the world is the Zhen family of Jizhou Zhongshan State, the Mi family of Xuzhou, the Qin family of Bashu, the Gongsun family of Youzhou, and the four major families of Jiangdong are all relatively famous wealthy businessmen, among which the Mi family of Xuzhou is engaged in selling salt! Although the rest of the companies have their own industries, they are also involved in the salt trafficking industry. Cheng Yu thought about it for a long time and carefully selected them before he said these ones.

Liu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, in fact, he knows very well that the Zhen family in Zhongshan is very rich, but it mainly started with land annexation, although there are officials in the family, most of them are not on the stage, but the biggest success is to engage in political marriage, and the famous Luo Shen in history is not from the Zhen family~

I have to say that the patriarch of the Zhen family does have a political vision, relying on Yuan Shao, the largest force in Hebei, in the early stage, and relying on the Cao Wei group in the later stage, and the political vision is indeed vicious, but because of this, Liu Wei first eliminated it, the guy who is proficient in politics is definitely not a master to be messed with, with his current strength, if he is embezzled by the Zhen family, he really has no way to check and balance.

The Bashu Qin clan belongs to a more special family, they were famous for doing business in the pre-Qin period, but they are matrilineal, that is to say, the leaders of their families are all women, which is completely different from the Central Plains, because they are called barbarians by the Central Plains.

However, the Bashu Qin clan is passed on from the surname Ji, when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms before the first destruction of Bashu, and the two countries of Bashu are mostly governed by families, after Qin destroyed Bashu, the families of Bashu and Shu were basically slaughtered, but the strange thing is that the Qin clan of Bashu is safe and sound, and is still doing business in the world, but it is less trade with all parts of the Central Plains, but mainly in the southwest.

As for the four major families in Jiangdong, they should be Gu Yong, Lu Xun, Zhu Huan, and Zhang Wen, but they can't be said to be wealthy businessmen, they should be regarded as more families, but the Jiangdong family, before the Dongwu forces were successful, their status was far lower than that of the Central Plains family, and their influence was far less than that of the Central Plains family.

As for the Xuzhou Mi family, there are nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and assets of hundreds of millions, it can be said that in the whole of Xuzhou, and even in the whole world, there are few people who are richer than them, and Liu Bei can start a family, and the strength of the Mi family in it must not be ignored, and even his sister is accompanied, but now Xuzhou belongs to Tao Qian's territory, which is a little troublesome.

It's just that he really doesn't know about the Gongsun clan in Youzhou, could it be that the Gongsun Chan family can't succeed?

Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "The Youzhou Gongsun clan is not the family of Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, but the Liaodong Gongsun Du family. ”

"Isn't there one in Qingzhou?"

Liu Wei nodded and frowned and asked, you must know that the business of this era is extremely backward, even if there is support, the regionality is also quite strong, which is different from Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, although these two people make a living by selling horses, but they have no foundation, at best they are just individual customers, so it is easy to control, of course, if they are obedient, Liu Wei does not mind supporting the two to become the first family in Qingzhou.

However, if you want to use a wealthy merchant with confidence, the best way is to choose a place that you can manage now, which is also easy to control. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and the whip is out of reach, he has no control at all.

"Qingzhou originally existed." Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Liu Wei frowned and rubbed his temples, it was really nerve-wracking, he understood what Cheng Yu meant, Qingzhou Linzi City was famous in the country back then, but the Yellow Turban thieves were entrenched in Qingzhou, and those wealthy businessmen had no power to protect themselves, that is, a piece of unguarded fat, and the outcome was of course self-evident, otherwise Qingzhou would not have become a place that no one wanted to touch in history.

"It seems that even if there is a method of drying salt in a short period of time, it will be useless." Liu Wei shook his head and said, if it is really not possible, I will support Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to become the new family of Qingzhou, but for now, I will leave all this matter to them, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat it

In addition, he knows that there are many ways to make money, but this is by far the most feasible and easiest way, but it is like this, without a stable base, it cannot be carried out smoothly.

It is no wonder that in this era, money has no effect at all, and the most fundamental thing is still a vast territory and a strong army.

。。。。。。。。。

The big tent in Linzi City, here is the big tent of the Guan Hai Department, since that day, Guan Hai has ordered people to detain the big tent of Guan Cheng and others, that is, he does not say that he agrees or refuses, he is so hanging.

In addition to Guan Cheng, there are still four people in the big tent, all of whom are lean and thin, but the fierce light in their eyes from time to time shows that these people are by no means easy to provoke.

"Brother, brother, news has arrived." A slightly short man strode in, panting and handing the parchment roll in his hand to Guan Cheng, who hurriedly browsed it after taking it, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Brother, what did Your Highness say?" The other four men gathered around and asked with curiosity on their faces.

"His Highness only said that everything is left to us, and His Highness will fully cooperate."

Guan Cheng said lightly, squinted slightly, groaned, suddenly opened his eyes, swept the faces of the five people one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Little Wuzi, you can go to the big tent of Bu Ji, and tell us about our meeting with Guan Hai, we must emphasize that we originally wanted to find Bu Ji, but we mistakenly went to the door of Guan Hai, and we were imprisoned here by Guan Hai!" ”

"Got it, leave it to me." Xiao Wuzi patted his chest and reassured.

"Come back~" Meeting Xiao Wuzi's puzzled gaze, Guan Cheng said in a deep voice: "Remember not to be discovered by Guan Hai's people, otherwise it will ruin His Highness's plan, and you and I will not be able to die enough to atone for the crime!" ”

"Brother, don't worry, you don't know what kind of person I am." Xiao Wuzi agreed, opened the big rise and looked around, and quietly left the big tent.

。。。。。。。。。

Dongjun, the vast Cangshan.

In the depths of the dense forest, more than 30 war horses are leisurely gnawing on the lush green grass, flicking their tails from time to time and whipping the gadfly nailed to their bodies to suck blood, more than 30 men are scattered everywhere or drinking water and eating, or putting felt hats on their heads to shield themselves from the scorching sun and falling asleep soundly, a strong man is wrapped in armor, and even his face is covered with a dark mask.

"Dada~"

Outside the dense forest, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and in a moment there was a heavy and rapid footstep sound outside the forest, and the man who was lying next to the second master and fell asleep suddenly turned over and got up, a steel knife was already horizontal in front of his chest, and his eyes were full of murderous dew, and he said sharply: "Who?" ”

At the same time, more than 30 men who were resting on the spot also took up their weapons one after another, their eyes showed a fierce gaze, staring at the direction of the footsteps, and their neat movements were enough to see the military quality of these people.

"It's me!" The sound fell, a bearded and strong man has passed through the dense bushes, came to the second master, the man with the knife in his chest obviously knew the person, relieved, moved not far away to lie on the ground and fell asleep again.

"What did Guo Yan say?" The unique sound like metal friction came out of the mouth of the second master, which made people can't help but arouse goosebumps, but everyone was obviously used to it, and no one had a different color on their faces.

"Guo Yan asked us to rob and kill the car of the Kwantung Army, and promised to give 20,000 gold and 50,000 stone grain and grass after the deed was completed! Shall we take it or not? The voice of the visitor was short and powerful, in stark contrast to the voice of the second master.

"20,000 gold, plus 50,000 stone grain and grass, Guo Yan is really generous." The second master suddenly got up, and his eyes hidden in the eye hole of the mask flashed a trace of cruelty: "Order, brothers, after finishing this order, I will take you back to Taishan County to continue to live a happy life!" ”

The second master's voice fell, and the person who came continued: "The Black Wind Village has been deserted, and Que Xuan is dead. ”

"Que Xuan is dead?" The second master obviously expected it, and after a long silence, he asked, "Have you ever found out who died at whose hand?" ”

"It is said that Heifeng Village was captured by a young man leading an army, but Que Xuan died in Qingzhou, and his head was hung above the gate tower of Banyang City, and it is not known who did it." The person who came shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After all, Que Xuan has always been on guard against the second master, and all the nails we planted beside him have been pulled out by him." ”

The second master took a deep breath, and no one saw a thick sad expression on his face hidden under the mask, perhaps mourning Que Xuan's death, or mourning the fate of being a thief.

。。。。。。。。。

Jizhou is a rich state in the world, coupled with bumper harvests year after year, the grain and grass of the princes of the Kwantung Coalition Army basically come from the allocation of Han Fu in Jizhou, and Dongjun is the place where the grain trucks must pass, and hundreds of vehicles transferred from Jizhou on the official road in the distance form a string of convoys to taste, and there are about more than 10,000 Jizhou soldiers guarding before and after.

The blood-colored afterglow of the setting sun stained the vast mountains red, and a large black flag suddenly appeared from behind the dirt slope and was hunting in the wind, but the dark flag was empty, looking strange and peculiar.

Immediately after that, a ghostly horse emerged from behind the hillside, standing solemnly in the wind and under the dark banner, this person was the second leader who intended to hijack the grain and grass of the Kwantung Coalition Army.

"Woo woo woo ~ "

The low and distant sound of the bull's horn suddenly rose to the sky, and in the suffocating sound of the horn, one after another, it gradually emerged from behind the dirt slope, like a group of palpitating man-eating ants converging in the direction of the queen, and one after another rode towards the back of the second master.

Gradually, the cavalry has all come out, and then the figure of the foot soldier has gradually emerged, and the black pressure has formed a huge encirclement, completely blocking the route of the grain convoy, and the low and distant horn horn has come to an abrupt end, and the world is silent, and the strong murderous aura is gradually diffused~

"Woo woo woo~"

When the second leader blew the trumpet to gather soldiers and horses, the Jizhou soldiers also began to blow the horn of warning, and the terrible wolf howl of the Jizhou soldiers and generals who guarded the grain convoy suddenly resounded in the sky: "The enemy is attacking, and the formation is facing the enemy!" ”

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

Obviously, in order to safely escort the grain convoy, Han Fu dispatched the escort team to be the elite of Jizhou, and in an instant, the suffocating horn sounded like thunder, and the Jizhou ironclad elites scattered around began to assemble in formation, protecting the grain convoy behind him~

On the top of the earth, the second master straddled the war horse, looked at the Jizhou soldiers gathered in a formation with cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bloom with a sneer, the spear Huo Ran raised high, and then slashed down, at the same time, his legs lightly grabbed the horse's belly, the war horse shook his head and snorted, and galloped up in an instant.

Behind him, hundreds of cavalry followed suit, when the faint thunder gradually grew into a deafening rumble, the war horses had begun to sprint at full speed, hundreds of horse horses fought bravely, thousands of horse hooves mercilessly knocked on the earth, only the war horses were neighing, and the earth was moaning~

Immediately afterwards, the foot soldiers followed closely behind the cavalry like a tide, turning into a monstrous wave and devouring the Jizhou soldiers who were waiting for the battle, and finally the two armies collided fiercely, and the blood was brilliant in an instant~

"Death~~"

The second master shouted, struggling to ride the horse, the war horse neighed and rose into the air, the volley spanned ten steps away, and fell down from the air like a thousand mountains, the dazzling cold confused the eyes of the Jizhou soldiers, and the sharp spear stabbed towards a Jizhou soldier like lightning.

"Flutter~"

Blood splashed, a Jizhou soldier didn't have time to scream, the sharp spear had pierced his skull, the huge inertia made him like a radish, was pierced on the spear, and then there were soldiers who collided with the back, and a tight shot actually drove three Jizhou soldiers through the city in a row, and the war horse stopped speed~

"Kill~"

The second boss had hideous eyebrows, and his arms suddenly exerted force, throwing out the bodies of the three Jizhou soldiers fiercely, and the heavy corpses killed several Jizhou soldiers, and at the same time, the foot soldiers behind him had also been killed, and a bloody battle was being staged on the feet of the cangshang outside the East County~
