The Changle Salt Farm has already changed a lot, not only in terms of scale than before, but also in the salt pond, which is made of bricks and cement, and is no longer the original simple earth pool. Geng Jingzhong really regretted that he didn't immediately start refining refined salt when he received the salt farm, the method and process had already been there, but after he was busy renovating the salt pond, he immediately devoted himself to the major event of attacking Luzon Island, and this thing was delayed, and there were many things later, and he never remembered it.

In the eyes of the people around Geng Jingzhong, it is indeed a bit unbelievable that such a magical technique can change coarse salt into refined salt. However, although this technique is magical, it is extremely simple, and anyone can learn it after reading it, so it is still very important to keep it secret if it is necessary to produce refined salt on a large scale, otherwise if this method is leaked, then the refined salt will not be able to sell for price in the future.

In addition to the largest Changle salt field in Fuzhou, there are two small salt farms that are only half the size of Changle around, and there are also salt farms in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, large and small salt farms combined, the coarse salt produced every month is enough to supply the needs of 10 million people, it sounds incredible, but after all, the salt consumed by people every day is very small, and the amount of half a catty a month is only half a catty, and it is only 450,000 stone a month, so many salt pans and salt ponds continue to evaporate salt, fully able to supply on. However, Geng Jingzhong kept the price of salt very low, and the price sold in Fujian was only less than two taels per stone, even if there was still a lot of salt sold to Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places. But it also makes a profit of more than 100,000 taels every month. It's so little!

The matter has been decided. So Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou near the salt works at the same time to set up ten large-scale refining plants, such factories are very simple to build, only need a lot of stoves, the site must be large enough, the plant must be spacious enough. They are not worried about the manpower they need, although they can also be recruited from the ordinary people, but for the sake of safety, the first choice is to choose from the military family. Don't say anything else. Even the families of the 30,000 recruits who are about to become an army are a huge number, and with the families of soldiers, there is basically no need to worry about someone leaking secrets. But as it is said, it is still necessary to send heavy troops to guard it firmly, and no one will be allowed to come out without permission.

When the factory was built, tens of thousands of catties of coarse salt were directly sent in, and Geng Jingzhong immediately ordered the military families who had been prepared to move to the factory, and they basically couldn't leave at will when they moved in, but the treatment given to them by Geng Jingzhong was also quite high, and the salary was higher than the work of the princess in the city. After the workers are all together. The old workers of the salt factory, who had learned how to refine refined salt, entered the factory and explained to them the essentials of how to refine refined salt.

At the beginning, with the explanation of the old workers, these new military workers were stunned one by one. None of them, who had eaten coarse salt all their lives, would have imagined that it would be such a simple matter to refine refined salt from coarse salt, until this time, some military families with fast brains suddenly understood why this prince moved them here to live and signed such a ten-year contract with them. However, they did not complain, but were very excited and grateful, as long as the workers who entered the factory did not leak secrets, their lives were ten times or even a hundred times stronger than before. After the explanation, as soon as the people who understood the matter explained, all the workers also understood that refining refined salt was such a simple thing, and if any of them secretly ran out to spread this technology to the spread of refined salt, then the loss caused to their prince would be immeasurable.

After three days of work in the refined salt refinery not far from the Changle Salt Farm, the salt factory guards who smelled of sea salt on their bodies sent a team of people to Monkey Island Port with the first batch of refined refined salt, and Geng Jingzhong and others quickly came here from the Mawei military camp after receiving the news. The newly produced refined salt is all packed in clay pots, just like the clay pots in salt stores in Fujian prefectures and counties, but the word refined salt is written on the outside of the jar.

The reason why it was sent directly to Houyu Port, Geng Jingzhong wanted to hand over these refined salt to these maritime merchants to sell, they really don't have the energy to operate this matter in person now, it is better to sell these refined salt directly at the port, anyway, the price will not be low. There are many representatives of well-known large merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang on this side of Houyu Port, and it should be said that they are big smugglers, even if they completely eat all the refined salt produced by this refined salt refinery in Fuzhou, they will not consume any strength at all. In fact, when the merchants who were invited by Geng Jingzhong from the port saw the jars of refined salt with white flowers in front of them, their eyes were green, but he didn't know that these refined salts were all refined by His Royal Highness the heroic Metropolitan Governor in front of him from those coarse salts that were not worth a few dollars.

"Now the governor of Bendu can provide 1.5 million catties of refined salt every month, and from the governor of Pontus, the price is uniformly one catty and 100 wen, and as for how much you transport to other places and sell it is up to you." Geng Jingzhong said. On average, each of the ten refined salt refineries can produce 15,000 catties of refined salt in three days, and there is no problem at all with 1.5 million catties a month. This may seem like a lot, but it is very small for the vast population and demand of the country. Wealthy families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are inseparable from refined salt at all, and the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have to consume 300,000 catties a month, and in addition to Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi are now Geng Jingzhong's territory can be passed unimpeded, Geng Jingzhong's tentacles in other provinces are not easy to reach into, and the merchants on this port come from all directions, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and even the capital, they are best at smuggling, of course, smuggling in places outside Fujian and Guangdong, and they have to pay taxes at the General Administration of Customs here.

The domestic market can consume these refined salts, and some powerful merchants can also load these refined salts on ships and sell them to the South Seas, North Korea, and the Japanese Kingdom, and the price will definitely not be low, and they can easily sell them for 200 wen to make a net profit of double the difference. With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on the laws of the world; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head. Isn't that a 100 percent profit now? As soon as Geng Jingzhong's words fell, the businessmen who had already reacted began to rush to buy it, where is there anything better than selling refined salt, and if you start late, you will lose a lot!

This doesn't require them to pay any money at all, with their credit, they are on credit on Geng Jingzhong's side, and they can give money after they sell it, and they can have such a high profit as a second-class dealer, and they will immediately break their heads! (To be continued......)
