Chapter 161: A Fortune Plan
Seeing that the husband who was getting bigger and bigger was actually smirking like a child's "hehe", Ruolan couldn't help but glance at him, her beautiful big eyes revealed a little woman's unique spring, and she couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the paper bag in her husband's hand, and said suspiciously: "Husband, are you mistaken, this is clearly a bag of coarse salt, is this what the husband said about the "fortune plan" refers to this?" ”
"That's it!" Pang Gang held up the bag of coarse salt in his hand and said excitedly: "Ruolan, the price difference between coarse salt and experience is usually about dozens of times now, you know this, right?" ”
"Well, you know, coarse salt costs a few pennies per catty of vegetables, but the price of refined salt or green salt is one hundred and thirteen to one hundred and fifty wen, and the price difference between them and coarse salt is nearly dozens of times, which is naturally a huge difference." After Ruolan finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask funny: "Could it be that the husband wants to learn from those salt dealers now and prepare to sell salt?" ”
After Ruolan finished speaking, she gently snuggled into Pang Gang's arms, stretched out her green jade hand and gently stroked her husband's strong chest, and comforted softly: "Husband, private salt is indeed lucrative, like the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation, there are indeed many salt merchants who are worth millions or even tens of millions, but as far as the slave family knows, those salt merchants are all figures with hands and eyes, and there are a large number of officials of the court behind them to speak for them in the court." Now although the husband is said to be the commander of a state and is also in charge of the defense of the East Shandong Road, the slave family can say that if the husband also goes to sell illegal salt, you will definitely find that your illegal salt will never be sold in Shandong, because you don't have the way that people have worked hard for hundreds of years, because"
"Wait, wait!" Pang Gang raised his hand to interrupt the little wife who was careful for fear of hurting his self-esteem, hugged Ruolan and smiled mysteriously: "But Ruolan, what if I can turn this bag of coarse salt in my hand into refined salt?" Do you think we can still make money? ”
"What?" This time it was Ruolan's turn to exclaim, she covered her small mouth, her face showed a look of disbelief, and she shook her head again and again: "This is impossible, the husband is not cheating the concubine, if there is a method to turn coarse salt into refined salt, how can the concubine not have heard of it?" ”
Pang Gang laughed again, grabbed Ruolan's Qianqianyu hand and walked out, and said as he walked: "Ruolan, you come with me, now your husband is going to witness a miracle for you that you have never seen in your life!" ”
The plan that Pang Gang thought of to make a fortune was to refine refined salt, yes, to refine refined salt! The method of refining refined salt with coarse salt is very simple, Pang Gang learned it when he was in middle school in the later world, and after he overheard Ling'er say that the price difference between refining coarse salt and refined salt was huge, he immediately realized that this was definitely a big plan to make a fortune.
In ancient times, there were generally three types of salt, namely well salt, lake salt and sea salt. The quality of well salt is the best, also commonly known as refined salt, but because its mining cycle is too long, and the cost is high, the output has not been able to rise, so the price is also extremely expensive. Although the quality of lake salt is also unsatisfactory, the production areas of lake salt are mainly in Qinghai and Xinjiang Province, not to mention the long distance, and the risks along the way are also extremely high. And the worst quality is sea salt, it is made by people using the sun to expose the sea water or roasting with fire, not to mention the poor quality, some black-hearted salt dealers even have to mix mud and sand in these coarse salt to make profits, but because sea salt is easy to produce and cheap, it is also the salt used by the vast majority of ordinary people.
Pang Gang took Ruolan's little hand and trotted all the way to a small kitchen in the inner courtyard, and when he arrived at the kitchen, he immediately kicked out all the two old mothers who were working in the kitchen, and strictly made it clear that no one would be allowed to come in without his distribution.
After driving people away, Pang Gang immediately got busy, he first found a small pot, poured a small half pot of water, and then poured the bag of coarse salt in his hand into the pot and kept stirring with chopsticks, until the salt was completely dissolved into the water, he took a piece of cotton cloth and put it on top of a large bowl, and then poured the water in the pot into the big bowl. In this way, when Pang Gang poured the salt water into the large bowl, many impurities immediately appeared on the cotton cloth.
Ruolan looked at her husband's busy figure on the side, her pretty face, who was originally smiling and watching her husband's busyness, couldn't help but become serious, and when Pang Gang poured the filtered salt water back into the small pot and put it on the stove and began to cook it over a fierce fire, she couldn't help but ask softly: "Xianggong, are you serious?" ”
"Nonsense!" This time it was Pang Gang's turn to give her a big roll of the eyes, "I've been very serious from beginning to end, okay!" Oh, by the way, help me add some firewood and make the fire bigger. ”
Pang Gang didn't rest in his hand as he spoke, holding a wooden stick that came from nowhere and stirring vigorously, as the water gradually evaporated, the salt water became dense after a while, and a layer of snow-white salt flowers formed on the edge of the pot. Later, the brine turned into a paste, and when the water in the pot was completely boiled, the brine turned into a fine, white salt like fine sand.
Pang Gang, who had been busy for a long time, didn't have time to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead, so he reached out and grabbed a handful of snow-white and uniform fine salt from the pot and put it in the hand of Ruolan, who was already dumbfounded, and asked proudly: "Ruolan, what is the difference between these refined salts and the refined salt we eat?" ”
Ruolan, who endured the violent boiling in her heart, stretched out her Qianqianyu finger and dipped it in a little refined salt, put it in her mouth, and slowly tasted the taste, she slowly closed her beautiful eyes, and it took a long time before she opened it again, and she endured her excitement and smiled at Pang Gang: "Xianggong, congratulations, we are indeed going to get rich!" ”
As the daughter of a businessman, Kong Ruolan knew that due to the war, it was difficult for Shaanxi and Sichuan well salt to be transported to the south of the Yangtze River, and she knew how expensive the price of refined salt was at this time.
Now that her husband has mastered such a miraculous method of refining refined salt, as a wife, she is naturally obliged to help her husband seek the greatest benefits. Since she was a child, she was nurtured by the atmosphere of the businessmen in her family, and she soon had ideas in her womb.
She said solemnly to Pang Gang: "Xianggong, the concubine didn't expect you to be able to change coarse salt into refined salt with such a magical skill, which is indeed the luck of my Pang family." However, although the technique of concubinage is magical, it is extremely simple, and anyone can learn it after looking at one side, so the concubine body thinks that if you want to produce refined salt on a large scale, you must choose a secret place to produce it secretly, otherwise if this method is leaked, then it will be worthless. ”
"Well, exactly!" Pang Gang glanced at Ruolan approvingly, worthy of the origin of family learning, and saw the essence of the problem at once, Pang Gang nodded and said: "Lingshanwei's Wanghai Fort is the earliest place for the husband to serve, and it is close to the sea, where the husband plans to build a large salt pan, there is a mountain called Erlong Mountain more than 30 miles away from the Wanghai Fort, it is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, where the husband plans to build a large-scale refined salt refining factory, and to send heavy troops to firmly handle it, and never allow anyone to come out without authorization, As long as it gives us a few years, we can earn a lot of money that we never dreamed of. ”
"Husband, don't be careless." As his wife, Ruolan reminded: "Husband, you know that those salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have great magical powers, if the amount of refined salt we sell is not much, it is just that, if the amount of refined salt sold is too large and affects his interests, they will inevitably perceive that it is our Shandong outflow, and they will definitely find out the head of the husband, so they will inevitably deal with you, if they mobilize their people in the court to impeach the husband, I am afraid that the husband is afraid even if he is the commander of Qingzhou."
"I'm afraid I can't bear it, right?" Pang Gang saw a worried look on Ruolan's face, reached out and gently stroked her pretty face, a soft and smooth feeling spread from her fingertips to her heart, she gently kissed the slightly wrinkled nose of this gentle and pretty little wife and smiled: "Don't be afraid, by the time they find out that something is wrong, the strength in the hands of the husband is far from being matched by them." ”
"Hmm!" Ruolan nodded obediently, hugged her husband hard, smelled the familiar smell on her husband's body, the originally excited heart gradually calmed down, the longer she got married, the deeper Ruolan's love for Pang Gang became, at this moment she felt that her husband's arms were so broad and so reassuring, especially when she and Pang Gang were happy at night, the passion of body and mind was released, and she even wanted to integrate into her husband's body and never separate...... Just do it, Pang Gang immediately left the inner courtyard and came to the lobby, he first ordered someone to recruit Hua Yan over, since Pang Gang served as the commander of Qingzhou, Pang Gang appointed Hua Yan as the experience of the division, although the court has a system, people who are not above the fame are not allowed to hold official positions, but in this troubled times, these systems are still systems for Pang Gang?
The experience of the division is an official from the seventh grade, that is, from this moment on, Hua Yan can be regarded as a member of the Ming physique, he can go from a non-mainstream show to today all thanks to Pang Gang's support and recommendation, and his loyalty to Pang Gang, who is deeply favored by Pang Gang, is also undoubted. Therefore, after thinking about it, Pang Gang decided to leave this matter to Huayan.
After a while, Hua Yan soon came to the lobby to report to Pang Gang, and Pang Gang informed him of his thoughts.
"What, my lord, you want to open a salt factory? Without the approval of the imperial court, this is a violation. Hua Yan said in surprise: "Okay, although I also know that these laws are useless now, but our salt farms in Shandong have always been known for their poor quality and low prices, and now Shandong's coarse salt is only two dollars per catty, if you really open a salt farm, I am afraid you will lose money." ”
Pang Gang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the official told you to do the truth of nature and nature, you go like this"
With Pang Gang's explanation, Hua Yan's face continued to show surprise and serious expressions.
