Chapter 792: The Problem of the Century

Some people who have a keen sense of smell and have done the salt business have smelled a glimmer of business opportunities. In the City Lord's Mansion of Xiliang City, gossip was released that there would be a steady supply of refined salt in the future.

The salt they have in their hands now is not the ordinary edible salt that bottlenecks the world, but the high-grade refined salt eaten by the rich and noble.

However, the price sold in Xiliangcheng is the price of ordinary edible salt, and the price of high-grade salt in the bottleneck world is two or three times that of low-grade salt, which is about the same as that on the Blue Star.

If the trail is true, it shows that in the absence of the popularity of fine salt, it is possible to make a lot of money in advance!

Xiliangcheng was warned by various threats from the Sun family, and even cut off the salt of Xiliangcheng.

And Xiliangcheng's measures are undoubtedly to fight against the Sun family to the end.

As a result, some businessmen began to hoard salt again at a slightly higher price, and began to find channels to sell it outside.

As long as it is purchased at a price higher than that of ordinary salt, and then sold at a price lower than that customized by the Sun family, excluding the transportation cost and labor cost for Cao Yun, the price difference will be more than doubled.

After all, no matter how much the Sun family suppressed Xiliangcheng, it would not affect the Cao Yun ferry, so the circulation of salt was not a problem.

As long as someone buys it, they will definitely make a lot of money!

The price is low, so you don't have to worry about no one buying!

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, today's salt has been swept away, and another guy has started to stock up on salt." Little Pepper ran to Li Xiao and said.

"Understand, as long as it doesn't affect the order of the market, they can make a fuss." Li Xiao said with a smile.

The minds of those vendors, Li Xiao is now similar to Xiao Chili, they are all clear.

Originally, Xiao Pepper wanted to use this to show off his business acumen in front of Li Xiao, but Li Xiao seemed to know everything.

"You know the doorway?" Pepper asked.

"Their Sun clan can't ban Cao Yun, and the salt in our Xiliang City can be sold at a price higher than the purchase price, lower than the Sun family's price. In this way, there will be a lot of silver flowing into Xiliang City. Li Xiao said.

"Worthy of being the boss, as smart as you!" Pepper gave a thumbs up.

"Those who dare to eat crabs will definitely be nobles in the main city of Xiliang City in the future." Li Xiao said.

"Do you think we need to raise the price of salt?" Pepper asked.

Xiao Chili knows very well that the price of refined salt is now very easy to sell if it is doubled.

"No, then the cost of salt for the people of Xiliang City will be high. Besides, if we want to suppress the Sun family, the price can't be high. When the market stabilizes, the price of salt will flatten. At that time, the supply system of our Xiliang City has also been perfected, and we don't have to worry about running out of money to make. Li Xiao said.

"It's still the boss, far-sighted, and his subordinates admire and admire." Pepper said.

Li Xiao is thinking about this problem in the long run, although he can't make a lot of salt. However, that money will still flow into Xiliang City.

As long as there is more and more money circulating in Xiliang City, it will naturally become more and more prosperous.

Moreover, as the supply of refined salt increases, the price will naturally decrease, which will also force Sun's to reduce the price.

In fact, this is also a price war, and there is no need for Li Xiao and others to hurt their heads.

As long as the salt is thrown into Xiliang City, it will naturally be snatched up. If you can't eat enough salt, it will flow out.

The next day, tens of thousands of tons of refined salt were ushered in in the main city of Xiliang City, and those who were in the salt business immediately made up their minds to buy edible salt on a large scale and make a lot of money for him!

That evening, after eating, Li Xiao found Cao Ying.

Cao Ying's impression is that she seems to have almost no experience of being alone with Li Xiao.

The two walked side by side on the wide bluestone road, and Cao Ying's heart collided.

Walking to the door of a mansion, Li Xiao asked, "Are you satisfied?" ”

Cao Ying turned his head and saw that this mansion leaning on the City Lord's Mansion was hung with a brand-new plaque inlaid with gold, with two words on the plaque, Cao Mansion.

"What is this?"

"For you." Li Xiao took out a title deed and handed it to Cao Ying.

"From now on, the ownership of this mansion belongs to you. If anyone from your Cao family comes to Xiliang City in the future, you don't need to go to the inn, you can live here directly. Li Xiao continued.

Cao Ying's face was flushed, and she lowered her head and took the title deed. However, Cao Ying feels that this gift is actually not cheap.

The current land price in Xiliang City has increased by leaps and bounds.

Excluding the mansions around the Castle Lord's Mansion that have been reserved or have been divided, the closer to the Mansion of the Castle Lord's Mansion, the more expensive the land price will be.

It was as if this was the first time the lord had given her something.

"Go in and have a look." Li Xiao said, pushed the door open, and made a gesture of please.

This third lady of the Cao family is indispensable for her contribution to the prosperity of Xiliang City.

So even if the house here becomes a priceless treasure in the future, Li Xiao feels that it is worth giving Cao Ying a mansion.

Without Cao Yun and the strong support of the third lady of the Cao family, it is definitely still a problem for Xiliangcheng to transport goods until now.

"This is too precious, isn't it not good?" Cao Ying lowered her head and said.

"Let's take a look first, if you're not satisfied, I'll change it to something else." Li Xiao said.

Cao Ying walked into the mansion.

Most of the large mansions in Xiliang City are garden-style designs, but the mansion selected by Li Xiao is in European style.

Cao Ying is used to living in a garden mansion, and she will definitely like this kind of dreamy European design like a castle.

Sure enough, the moment she entered the courtyard, Cao Ying was fascinated by the design of the yard.

"Who designed this kind of mansion? It's really the first time I've seen you! It's so beautiful! Cao Ying exclaimed.

"It was designed by one of the best architects around me, the young lady surnamed Zhang, you must have seen it." Li Xiao said.

"It turned out to be her, I thought she was just a vase, I didn't expect to be so talented! City Lord Li, you have to keep such a talent, it is estimated that in the entire bottleneck world, there are people who are willing to spend a lot of money to hire her. Cao Ying said.

"Don't worry, she won't be able to run." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Is that your wife?" Cao Ying asked again.

When she asked this question, Cao Ying was a little nervous.

"It's not." Li Xiao sat down in the garden, and Cao Ying sat in a flower basket swing opposite, swinging leisurely.

"And how many wives do you have now?" Cao Ying asked again.

"Just one." Li Xiao said.

Cao Ying suddenly stared at Li Xiao and said, "Then you can marry me!" ”

"Huh?" Li Xiao almost choked on a mouthful of saliva.

If it weren't for eating Li Xiao's dishes, Cao Ying would at most regard Li Xiao as a benefactor and nobleman.

It is true that Cao Ying achieved the transportation of Xiliang City, but Xiliang City in turn also achieved Cao Ying, which made Cao Ying's status in the Cao family soar.

But the dishes made by Li Xiao really captured the heart of this girl.

Cao Ying is not a particularly euphemistic character, and this kind of thing is very normal in the bottleneck world for men and women to marry.

If you don't choose a wishful husband, you will be arranged by the family to marry in the future.

Cao Ying didn't want to marry into a family that made her feel strange and frightened.

Therefore, Li Xiao is Cao Ying's best choice at present. Marrying Li Xiao, she will be free in Xiliang City in the future.

Moreover, the folk customs in Xiliang City are diametrically opposed to the secular dynasties outside. This made her feel that it was not much different from the blue star.

Cao Ying enjoys her time in Xiliang City very much, so these days, except for important things in the family, she has basically stayed in Xiliang City.

Cao Ying's personality is more easy-going, so she likes this place, the people here, and of course, the city lord who can cook good dishes and wash dishes and mop the floor.

"What are you? I'm old enough to get married, I'm not a minor. My third lady of the Cao family marrying you is not considered a high climb, right? Cao Ying asked.

Cao Ying's status, that is, marrying an emperor as a queen, is the blessing of that emperor, where is Cao Ying's high climbing?

Cao Ying looked at Li Xiao as if she was very embarrassed, she actually couldn't understand it.

You are also a city lord now, should you still ask your parents for such a thing as a man marrying a woman?

For Li Xiao, this problem can really be regarded as a problem of the century.
