Chapter 1558: Southern Boundary Wall
"But...... Is there any way to make money here? Li Yuyao was still puzzled.
"Absolutely." Yang Tianming pointed ahead and said, "It's not far away, you'll know later." ”
Li Yuyao was really curious.
Anyway, she can't think of any way to make money quickly here.
When Yang Tianming led a large army into a big mountain and saw the color of the bare mountain in front of him, Li Yuyao suddenly understood.
"It's ...... Salt? Li Yuyao asked.
Yang Tianming nodded: "To be precise, it's a salt mine." Although this is the Ten Thousand Worlds, it should be similar to what we know in ancient times, salt has been an industry monopolized by the government since ancient times, and no matter which industry, monopolized it, it is a huge profit. Moreover, in this era, there is no more advanced method of salt mining, refining, purification and filtration, even the salt provided by the government is not pure enough, let alone the private salt on the market. And the vast majority of ordinary people can only eat inferior mineral salt, which is black, bitter and poisonous. ”
Li Yuyao nodded.
It is indeed a good way to refine salt yourself and resell private salt!
It's just that......
"Would you do this?"
Yang Tianming smiled: "It's a coincidence, I will." We now have so many people, as long as we pass on the skills and start mining and selling salt, as long as the price is 30% lower than the price on the market, but there is better quality, how can we not open the road! ”
Li Yuyao nodded again.
Yes, no matter what era it is, if the goods are cheap and good, they will definitely not worry about sales.
"In fact, there are many ways to make a fortune, such as making soap." Yang Tianming said.
"Soap?" Li Yuyao was stunned again.
Yang Tianming smiled: "Yes, soap is actually simpler to make, but the effect can be called magical-level in this era." They knew how to use soap horn, and they also knew how to mix plant ash and animal fat, but they didn't do any further research and couldn't make a soap that was both beautiful and easy to use. ”
"Hearing you say that, it seems really easy to make money...... Ms. Li said.
Yang Tianming said: "It is easy for us to make money because we stand on the shoulders of the ancients." ”
The army entered the mountains, and there were barren mountains all around, and there were no people, let alone worry about the encirclement and suppression of the government.
The key is who would have thought that this guy, who would have come out to drill into the mountains?
Shanxi is rich in salt mines, but at this time, most of the salt mines have not yet been discovered, and it is naturally not difficult for Yang Tianming to pick up a few.
After setting up camp, Yang Tianming began to direct his men to mine salt mines.
Then gather some loyal and cultural minions to explain the process of refining table salt.
The division of labor in each process is clear, and Yang Tianming personally teaches it, many of which belong to the experience that has not yet been summed up in this era, although the conditions are simpler, but it is not impossible.
Soon, in a few days, an assembly line for refining salt was built.
The minions mined the salt mines, transported them down the mountain, refined them into shiny fine salt, and then brought them out to the nearby towns and sold them by a team of special businessmen......
Everyone was excited, and they all thought that the boss had found a way for them to make a fortune.
It wasn't until a few days later that the little minions who had gone out to sell salt came back with sad faces......
The fine salt they brought out was not sold at all!
The leaders were in a hurry.
Seeing that the way to make a fortune was not working, they all came to Yang Tianming to think of a solution.
When Yang Tianming heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Boss, how can you still laugh, now we have refined so much fine salt, and exchanged it for silver, which is worth thousands of taels! But now I can't sell it at all, so what can I do? Wu Song said anxiously.
The other leaders were also anxious to burn their eyebrows, and they were at a loss.
They set out from Shuibo Liangshan, and now half a month has passed, and if they can't raise any more money and food, more than 20,000 of them will not be able to survive.
Yang Tianming smiled: "Let me ask you, why can't you sell it?" ”
"Uh......" Lu Zhishen replied, "The little minions who came back said that those honest merchants in the town don't dare to buy our private salt at all. ”
Yang Zhi nodded: "Yes, and those traders who dare to buy illegal salt are also monopolized by local land snakes, they don't dare to provoke those land snakes, and they also don't dare to buy our private salt." ”
The leaders were worried.
Yang Tianming smiled bitterly: "Have you all forgotten, what did we originally do?" ”
"What the ...... for"
Everyone was stunned.
Lin Chong's eyes lit up, reacted, and said, "What does the boss mean, let's use power to suppress people, force to buy and sell?" ”
"That's right! We are now making the voice of private salt, and we don't rob houses or houses, nor do we kill people and set fires, but we just make money honestly. But we make money to make money, and the so-called rules do not exist for us! For those honest businessmen, let's buy and sell! What we sell is not expensive, the quality is good, they are just timid, they don't suffer if they buy ours; And for those ground snakes, let's eat black and eat black! Compared to black, we are ancestors! ”
Yang Tianming's words were loud.
After Yang Tianming finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.
yes, they didn't think of it before!
One by one, the leaders couldn't help but pat themselves on the head.
Although they are doing their own business now, they are still grass bandits in essence, so what can't they do? And what are they afraid to do?
The local snakes in the town are just rubbish in front of their eyes!
"Boss Wise!"
"It's still the boss who is wise!"
"I'll send someone to go again, if I can't sell it again, I'll come and see you!"
"Hahahaha......"
The crowd laughed.
Then lay it out.
This time, the caravan formed by the little minions set off again.
But this time there were more people, a full 2,000 people out!
In just one day, the "caravan" had successfully returned, bringing with it the silver of white flowers and the grain and grass exchanged for silver!
It's done!
The leaders were excited.
And under the instruction of Yang Tianming, the first few thousand taels of silver earned, except for the grain and grass, the rest were exchanged for copper coins, and the little minions in the cottage were given a big dividend!
For a time, the whole cottage was jubilant.
Everyone sighed that with a good boss, the future will be brighter and brighter!
In this mine, there was a constant sale of salt, and caravans went back and forth, sending cartloads of fine salt and bringing back truckloads of silver.
In this way, more than a month has passed unconsciously, and the entire cottage has become rich.
Yang Tianming retained a small part of the men and horses, continued to stay in the salt mine to make money, and the rest of the team set out for the expedition.
Target: The Southern Boundary Wall!
