"Uncle has been in Huanhai for a long time, and he should not be unfamiliar with the way of finance, do you know what the imperial court wants to earn?"

As soon as Gongsun Fan's expression came out, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but be happy, but he didn't rush to explain the roots, but changed the topic with a smile.

"It should be salt and iron, but these two things need to be time-consuming and consumables, and they are not easy to do, so maybe the virtuous nephew plans to use these two things?"

Gongsun Fan is the Taishou of a county, and he is no stranger to government affairs, although he doesn't understand why Gongsun Ming suddenly asked about finance, but he still quickly gave a correct answer.

"Uncle is right, these two things are the foundation that the little nephew intends to use to prosper and prosper, and salt first, iron second, can achieve initial results within the year, and by next summer, it will be enough to rejuvenate the country in one year!"

Although Gongsun Fan was full of disapproval, Gongsun Ming didn't care at all, and confidently released a bold statement, which made Gongsun Fan's brows furrowed wildly.

"This ......"

If others say this, I am afraid that Gongsun Fan will have been scolded in the past, but this is what Gongsun Ming said, although Gongsun Fan categorically did not believe it, but after all, he had to save a little face for Gongsun Ming, frowning and frowning, but he did not say anything to reprimand him.

"My uncle's previous statement about the time-consuming and consumable nature of salt making is indeed true, but it is just that the ancient method of boiling salt is too backward, and the method of salt making designed by the little nephew requires a lot of labor to build a salt field at the beginning, and the subsequent harvest does not need to consume much firewood at all, just after fishing, it is carried by a cart full of it. ”

Gongsun Ming didn't care about his uncle's dissatisfied face at all, and explained it to himself.

"There is such a wonderful method?

The more Gongsun Ming said, the more mysterious it was, Gongsun Fan couldn't help it, shook his head and said disbelief, no, the method of boiling salt has never been easier since ancient times, Bohai County itself also has a small salt farm, relying on the method of boiling seawater to obtain salt, Gongsun Fan himself has been to the salt field several times to inspect, and he is no stranger to the method of boiling salt, and he does not think that this method can have any possibility of innovation.

"Oh, uncle, don't be in a hurry to draw conclusions, the drawings in your hand are the new salt method, this is called the salt drying method, compared with the boiling salt method, the cost has plummeted, and the efficiency has increased more than 100 times, not more, only three salt farms, the annual salt can be more than one million catties, there is this output, why worry about my secluded, Bohai land is not very happy?"

After going around in a big circle, Gongsun Ming was satisfied to unveil the hole cards.

"Is that true?"

In these times, salt is money, the same is hard currency, as long as there is salt, there is nothing that cannot be bought, if it is really feasible, the prosperity of the secluded and Bohai land will be unstoppable, and how can Gongsun Fan not be moved.

"This is natural, the little nephew here also has a description of the construction process, and the uncle's hand of the drawings to match, you can build according to the drawings, the previous Wen'an in the first war to Zhangwu more than 10,000 prisoners of war can be used to build the salt field, the location, it is located in the old site of the Yuyang salt field, to be completed, and then those prisoners of war to the Bohai salt field to catch up, so, the end of the summer may be able to produce salt, but this matter is related to my secluded, Bohai lifeline, handed over to others, the little nephew is really difficult to rest assured, but also ask the uncle to work a lot. ”

In the matter of how to place Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Ming actually has a headache, without him, Gongsun Fan is an elder, and he has a great favor to himself, so he can't be left out in the cold, the problem is that his talent is limited, it is really difficult to use, the position given is low, although it is not appropriate, the position given is high, but he is afraid that he will make a mistake, Gongsun Ming thought about it, and finally decided to let Gongsun Fan master the money bag, and try not to let him participate in important military and political affairs, so it can be regarded as a proper placement.

"If it can really be done, Uncle will give up this old life, and he must do it safely!"

Gongsun Fan is actually not too fond of power, he became the Bohai Taishou itself is just a coincidence, and he has not been too successful, every time he feels haggard, the mistake is not so, when he was in Wen'an, he would not be very happy to hand over the seal of the Bohai County Taishou to Gongsun Ming, and now I heard that Gongsun Ming entrusted this lifeline-related matter to himself, Gongsun Fan felt that he was deeply valued, and the answer was naturally extraordinarily refreshing.

"Salt making is only the first step, to have salt, the little nephew and the side of the great hand, one is the new steel-making method, with the advantage of my Youzhou iron ore, coal, the output of stainless steel can be increased dozens of times in three years, and then to salt trade grassland, in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses, I secluded, Bo land is not difficult, on this basis, encourage agricultural business, rent and tax reduction, and people's livelihood, the rear can be solid, the people's heart is stable, you can go south and compete with the heroes, first annex the Montenegrin army, and then destroy the Yuan thief, swept the wings, And the states, you can fight with Cao Cao Lao'er, if you win, then the north can be determined, with this general trend, the southern heroes are just around the corner!"

Hearing Gongsun Fan's statement, Gongsun Ming was in a good mood, and together with his pride, he actually described the blueprint planned in his chest one by one.

"The virtuous nephew is interested in the world, how can he not support his uncle, God bless my grandson, I can have Ming'er, it should be my grandson's great prosperity, haha......"

was encouraged by Gongsun Ming like this, Gongsun Fan's blood boiled all over his body, and he was so excited that he rubbed his hands again and again, and when he laughed, he saw tears in the corners of his eyes.

"With the words of the uncle, the little nephew has the confidence to meet the heroes of the world, however, there is no accumulation of steps to thousands of miles, and the current need is in finance, especially salt and iron, and the uncle is asked to worry more about the little nephew. ”

Pride is pride, Gongsun Ming is a down-to-earth person in the end, after the blueprint is depicted, he returned to the implementation of the salt field.

"Ming'er rest assured, for Uncle Zidang to rush back to Zhangwu as soon as possible, and deal with this matter urgently, it's just a negotiation with the Black Mountain Thief......"

Gongsun Fan was already impatient to be fooled by Gongsun Ming, and he couldn't wait to go to the salt field immediately, but he still couldn't help but remember the negotiation with the Black Mountain Army in his heart.

"Heh, isn't my brother going to divide the family property, then give him all the eight cities including Yijing, and the little nephew will take Jixian (now Beijing) as the place of governance, and when there is salt, the foundation will be stable, and it will not be difficult to implement a new policy." ”

Gongsun Ming's horizons have always been broad, he doesn't care about momentary gains and losses, he only focuses on the overall situation of the world, and he is too lazy to continue to worry about Gongsun.

"That's it, Uncle Wei just talked to the Black Mountain thief. ”

Gongsun Fan's heart knotted gone, so naturally he didn't particularly care about Gongsun Xu's disobedience, and after answering, he hurriedly left the big tent of the Chinese army, and went to Zhang Luo to negotiate without mentioning it......
