In the memory of the wealthy merchants of Luodu, the Yi people in the north were a group of poor ghosts who were fierce and vicious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Most of these wealthy merchants are now in their forties and fifties, and many years ago, they also followed their fathers, carrying silk, tea, porcelain and other goods to sell abroad. At that time, the Saibei Yi had just been subdued by Di Dashuai, and the Saibei trade was revived. Di Dashuai grasped all the checkpoints leading to the northern grassland with one hand, and taxed them according to the goods.

Di Dashuai brought a new order to the chaotic and murderous grasslands, which also encouraged the merchants to embolden themselves and began to try to transport goods to the grasslands in large quantities. But after all, the goods are moving, and coupled with the vast grassland, there is always a time when Di Dashuai's cavalry can't take care of it.

Most of these wealthy merchants in Los Angeles City today have such terrifying memories.

The grassland outside the Saiwai is endless, the sky is also blue, and the land is boundless. On the horizon in the distance, a puff of dust was suddenly raised! Immediately after, there was a slight tremor of the ground beneath his feet. The experienced old man beside him immediately shouted loudly, surrounded the caravan carriage, and asked everyone to hide behind the carriage.

Soon, thousands of vicious robbers on horseback will rush to the caravan. They rushed like the wind and surrounded the convoy on three sides. It's not that these robbers are soft-hearted, but that if anyone escapes through that opening, it's convenient for them to shoot them from behind!

These robbers will use accurate cavalry to kill those who dare to resist, the bodyguards. If the rest of the people give up resistance, they can barely survive, and those who resist will be ruthlessly killed by random arrows. In the end, these vicious robbers will rob them of all their goods like locusts, and even strip off their coats and rob them.

There was once a bodyguard who bravely resisted, because he killed a robber of the Yi people, and was finally dragged behind the horse by the Yi people with his hands tied, and in front of these wealthy merchants, he was ground to pieces.

The horse bandits and robbers on the grassland are actually all dressed up as Yi herdsmen. They are herdsmen in ordinary times, riding horses, carrying bows and arrows, and they are fierce and cruel steppe horse bandits. In the memories of a group of wealthy businessmen who went to the grassland to make a fortune when they were young, they were deeply impressed by the greed and ferocity of these grassland people.

But in this trading city, what the Luodu merchants have seen and heard in the past few days has completely subverted their impression of the primitive barbarism of the grassland people. These people in the trade city are all white and kind, and they have smiles on their faces all day long. And these Yiren are all wearing silk and satin, although they look nondescript, but this can't hide the fact that they are rich, they are really rich.

Is this still a barbaric and ferocious, hairy and blood-drinking, animal-skinned, poor ghost-like steppe people? The people in these trade cities are actually abiding by the rules! When they walked, they touched each other, smiled and smiled at each other, and then they went their separate ways.

The Yi people in the trade city were so polite and knew the rules so well that they didn't even show the slightest barbaric habit, because Li Deyi was prepared for these Yi people with two hands, he held a sharp saber in one hand and a large amount of silver coins in the other.

For the Yiren tribes who were willing to come to trade in the trade city according to the rules he set, Li De had always treated them equally, and they were not bullied by fair trade. For those Yi tribes who are insatiable, covet the wealth of the trade city, and want to make a quick fortune, Li Deyi will not hesitate to ride a humvee, wield a saber, and chase them down until they are wiped out.

The wolf is a fierce and cunning beast that is difficult to tame, and it must be lured with meat and fiercely educated with a stick at the same time, so as to teach the wolf beast to be honest and obedient, follow the way of man, and develop peacefully.

Li De has more money in his hand, and the knife is faster. There are Humvees, there are thirty-eight elite cavalry in the Magnificent Realm, and there are three hundred Beiwei troops, and in the west of this grassland, no Yiren tribe can challenge Li De's rules.

Once, Li Deyi chased and killed a particularly capable Western Hun tribe, chased thousands of miles west, and finally chased to a huge natural salt lake, only to wipe out this group of Yi tribes who dared to rob the trade city.

When he saw this huge natural salt lake, Li Deyi realized that he had inadvertently found the "salt lake" that was passed down by word of mouth among the Yi people, and at this moment he seemed to see countless money pouring towards the garrison, and he couldn't stop it. He began to recruit nearby Yi herdsmen and asked them to dig up the natural salt blocks in the salt lake and transport them to the trade city to sell.

In order to attract the Yi people to transport this salt to the trade city, Li Deyi directly offered them a very attractive price, not to mention, but also promised that for every carriage of salt transported, they could exchange ten tea bricks. The Yi people on the grassland love gold and silver, and they need tea even more.

Relying on the temptation of tea, Li Deyi successfully lured the Yi people around the salt lake to continuously transport salt to the trade city for trade.

Li De heard early in the morning that there was a large salt lake in the western desert, where the salt was piled up into mountains and wide into the sea, but the road was far away and could not be transported. This time, he was found by accident, and he absolutely threw off his arms and did a great job, turning this salt lake into a golden lake for the garrison.

After making up his mind, Li Deyi immediately began to send out notices to recruit salt craftsmen. Over the years, although the Dingbei garrison has not shy away from the family, it has always favored those lowly craftsmen. And with the prestige of the Dingbei garrison regiment's victory over the Tuliao people spread all over the world, the garrison regiment's practice of giving preferential treatment to craftsmen regardless of their family background also spread all over the world.

As soon as the notice was issued, it didn't take long for a high-level craftsman to be recruited to process the salt from the salt lake into table salt.

Not only that, but this time there are also a large number of outstanding craftsmen from all walks of life. The Dingbei Garrison Regiment has a good reputation, and now it is not as cramped as it was back then, and almost no one cares about it, and it can only pick up a few talents that have leaked through other people's fingers.

The arrival of so many craftsmen has made Li Deyi bad, and he adheres to the principle of preferring to kill mistakes rather than let go, whether it is useful or not, he will stay and talk about it. Anyway, the garrison regiment has money, and it directly pays a monthly salary to keep people.

In order to accommodate the large number of craftsmen who came to inquire this time, Li Deyi specially set up a new department, which was called the "talent market." Here, Li Deyi set an example for the three blacksmith masters, explaining the rules of the garrison to the craftsmen. The price is clearly marked, Tong Suo is not bullied, what kind of contribution you make to the garrison regiment, what kind of reward you can get, and there will be no discounts.

Not to mention, the craftsmen are real, they are not those big families, they are obviously naked interest exchanges, and they also have to carry the banner of supporting justice and the aspirations of the people. Craftsmen have shown their own skills, asking what status and treatment they can get. The reception staff in the talent market have already been trained by Li Deyi, so they naturally have to answer all questions.

It is said that the ancestor retired from the salt shop of the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, and the salt-making skills were inherited from Yan Huizu during the Taizu period of the Ping Zhou Dynasty 600 years ago. This Yan Huizu took the letter of introduction issued by the reception staff and was soon summoned by Li Deyi in person. After meeting, Yan Huizu didn't have any nonsense to greet, and in front of Li Deyi, he used the prepared utensils to make mellow and delicious salt from the salt lake.

Immediately, Li Deyi issued this Yan Fuzi a first-class soldier ebony identity wooden card, and promised that a salt-making school would be set up to make him a master and recruit students.

Yan Huizu originally thought that the general of the garrison regiment in front of him was joking, for thousands of years, how could there be a craftsman who boiled salt to accept apprentices, this craft is very simple, where you need to learn specially, you can learn it by standing next to it for a few days.

Unexpectedly, Li Deyi didn't deceive him at all, but still discussed with him repeatedly, observed his salt-making process, and jointly compiled a standard textbook. The moment he got this standard textbook, Yan Huizu was so excited that it was indescribable. Writing books and sayings, writing books and sayings, this is a dream that only those who read are qualified to do. Unexpectedly, he was a craftsman, but his dream came true, he had his own works, and after the school was completed, he would officially accept apprentices.

Yan Huizu couldn't help but slap himself the spot to confirm that the dream was true.

The process of recruiting students in this salt school is extremely smooth, although Li Deyi has already explained in advance that after graduation, students of the salt school can only be given the treatment of second-class soldiers at the most, unless they can make outstanding technical contributions. But there are still many people who send their sons to school for the simple reason that it is safe. Although the treatment of first-class soldiers is much higher than that of second-class soldiers, they have to go to the battlefield to fight for their lives, and in the past two years, many soldiers have been killed in the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, and many families have also been affected.

With Yan Huizu and the Salt Making School, Li Deyi thoroughly mastered the technology of producing salt from the salt lake into the best salt.

Now Li Deyi has a stable supply of goods, has mature technology, has been able to mass produce fine salt, although the output is not as good as those large salt farms, but the output in the northwest boundary, has been very considerable.

Next, as long as Li Deyi creates a stable sales channel, every year in the future, just sitting at home, there will be a sea of gold and silver.

If there is a stable supply and a stable market for the salt business, it is really a big deal like a sea of gold and silver. When Taizu was the founding of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, he originally made a fortune by making salt and selling salt in Xuhuai Province. The terrain of this Xuhuai Province is easterly, connecting the north and south, extending in all directions, and the east is the sea, which can dry the sea salt, and the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty only relied on this business to raise 100,000 elite soldiers.

However, because the salt business is too profitable, it has always been controlled by the royal family and the big family. Ordinary people want to get involved, they can only eat some scattered scum downstream, but just these scum have also created countless luxury salt merchants, and also created a ten-mile prosperous crane city of "100,000 yuan around the waist and riding a crane down to Yangzhou".

The salt business is very profitable, and there are many people who covet it, and if you want to maintain the salt business, you must have enough hard power. Even in the founding year of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, Taizu was also under the watchful eye of the heroes, and finally occupied the salt industry by virtue of bloody battles.

The Dingbei Garrison Regiment is now notorious, and it is recognized in the world as the first to fight, and no one dares to provoke it. The last thorny Fan Guoshi had already torn off an arm alive, and the Tuliao State was even more defeated and retreated. Today's Dingbei garrison regiment, looking at the world, who dares to provoke? Even the young and vigorous Emperor of the Pingtang Kingdom, Li Shiluan, had to bow his head and swallow his anger. The other heroes in the world dare to disagree in their hearts, and they never dare to take any actual action.

With the prestige of the bloody battles, Li Deyi is now going to do this salt business, and naturally no one dares to beat his idea.

But Li Deyi knew that interlacing was like separating mountains. He led troops to fight, blackmailed those wealthy and powerful households, and was an insider, but he was a layman when he did business. If you want to make this salt business bigger and stronger, you must also find some insiders to help.
