Chapter 208: Profiteering High-priced Salt

"If you don't have any money, I'll give it to you on credit first, and I'll give it to you when I loosen my hand."

Gu Yi shook the lease deed document and said: "Also, this rent is paid once a year, and it will be settled at the end of the year, and in the future, I will earn more and less on this salt brine mine, but it has nothing to do with you?"

The owner of Xiaoyi is a cub who sells Yetian and is not distressed, she doesn't know where the road is, and she hasn't been to it twice at all, not to mention that this piece of waste mine, which has been almost dug up, has been sold for five million gold for a year, which is the heyday, and it is estimated that even her father will agree to rent it to Gu Yi, a new big dog and a stinky old man.

Seeing that the owner of Xiaoyi readily agreed, Gu Yi took out his own special graphite charcoal pen and symbolically signed his name on the lease deed.

The amber tiger on the side saw that both sides looked satisfied, although he felt that renting a piece of residual mine for five million gold for a year was indeed a big profit, but he didn't know what to do, and he always felt as if he had been fooled there.

From what he has seen in this period of time, this demon has turned decay into a magical means, and he must be able to earn a lot of gold cakes from this remnant mine, otherwise with his shrewd demon-like nature, he would never be stupid enough to spend twice the price produced in the heyday of this salt brine mine to rent this remnant mine.

Coupled with the sentence "It doesn't matter to you how much I earn", it made Hu Hu even more vigilant, and he opened his mouth to remind the lord of Xiaoyi, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Because he thought about it for a while, he found that people have a mystical method and secret technique that can refine bitter brine into snow crystals, which is other people's means, even if people can use this residual ore to earn ten times the income, it is also people's ability.

Even if they hold on to this remnant ore and can't refine mud into crystals, they still have to gnaw on the old capital that was only 1.5 million gold that year, and now the income of a year has more than tripled, so what is there to be dissatisfied with

But Hu Hu thought about it for a long time, and he definitely couldn't imagine how much benefit Gu Yi could get from it

According to Gu Yi's salt-making method, one tantalum brine can filter out about 15 kilograms of salt grains, and he can boil 30 tons of coarse salt from the 200,000 tantalum brine produced by the seven brine mud ponds every month

The so-called "turbid brine", Gu Yi is estimated to be the underground salt ore layer, after the remelting of groundwater, the "salt ore layer re-dissolved brine" emerging from the ground, and the "clear brine" may be along the deep crustal fault layer gap, the ancient seawater that emerged, so theoretically speaking, the salt content is about the same as that of seawater, that is, 3 ......

It doesn't matter to Gu Yi whether it is turbid or not, it always has to go through multiple layers of filtration anyway, and the "one barrel" mentioned by Amber Hu before is about 50 liters, and according to this ratio, 1.1 million barrels of brine can be boiled out of 19 tons of coarse salt.

The black halide and halide crystals are actually rock salt crystals, almost 100 K storage is salt, the reason why the upper, middle and lower grades are used to distinguish, mainly because of the impurities, taste, smell and other factors contained in it, which affect the price, in essence, the composition of the black halite and the upper grade halide is the same.

In this way, 3,000 tantalum "black halide" and 500 tantalum "lower grade halide crystal" can get more than 4 tons of coarse salt after filtration.

That is to say, even if Gu Yi does not transform and expand the production of the salt brine ore in the main fiefdom of Xiaoyi, it is only the existing raw output, and a total of 13 tons of coarse salt can be boiled every month

And these more than 5,000 tons of coarse salt, in exchange for the Great Wilderness Weights and Measures, is more than 8.27 million, such a large amount, a thousand gold will definitely not be sold, 500 gold is a bit hanging, after all, there are not many local tyrants who can really eat "high-priced salt", even if these salts are valuable, what is the difference between them and sand?

Therefore, there will inevitably be a substantial price reduction, but even if it is reduced to the same price as the top grade halo crystal, as long as it is 100 gold, it is also 480,000 times the windfall profit for Gu Yi, what is he not satisfied with?

In comparison, the rent of five million dollars for a year to the owner of Xiaoyi is really not even a dime a dime, what is the difference between it and what it picks up for nothing?

After Gu Yi silently calculated in his heart, the terrifying astronomical figure startled him, and sighed, if he was not careful, he would make a lot of money again, and it was such a huge amount.

He originally planned to give the owner of Xiaoyi some benefits and cooperate with her to develop salt brine mines.

But he never expected that he was just habitually bargaining, and the owner of Xiaoyi agreed to the rent of five million gold so quickly, so that he was going to talk about it, and he persuaded the owner of Xiaoyi to take out the salt brine mine to cooperate.

However, after he habitually calculated the income, he found that this was better, five million gold was just a amount that could satisfy Bao Zheng, but he would not be easily greedy, and this amount was for the owner of Xiaoyi, and Bao Zheng had another person on Bao Zheng's side to be responsible for bribery.

Thinking about it, the rent of the salt brine mine and the "road tax" dividend of the Trap Road Construction Agency Investment Company are enough to firmly tie the officials of the Baozheng family and the political system to the net of interests woven by themselves, right?

Rubbing his chin, Gu Yi thought about it, and found that this salt making seems to be very profitable, and it can be used as the main commodity in the near future, which is both hidden and profitable, not only can meet the construction capital needs of the two places, but also does not need to waste a lot of food like winemaking, and save food as much as possible to supply the people to eat.

Moreover, salt is not like wine, wine is a luxury in the great wilderness, and the poor must not be able to drink it, but salt is a necessary survival material for the nobles and the people.

Gu Yi did not find the so-called "salt and iron monopoly" system in the Great Wilderness World, to be precise, in Zhongrong County, although iron is controlled, but it is only because iron is basically a military supply, and it is not enough to make weapons, where people will be allowed to waste a lot of iron.

Salt is even more unmanageable, not that I don't want to take care of it, but I don't have to take care of it, but wherever there is salt, it is basically the city order and fort of Shicheng丨 and Rongbao丨, and a small amount of natural halide crystals are in short supply, there is a shortage of salt everywhere, and the people eat the so-called "light food", and there is salt in the market to sell it is something that the ruling people can't ask for, and there will be restrictions.

In such a social context, it provides a congenitally good development environment for the salt and iron businesses planned by Gu Yi, and there is no need to worry about being arrested for selling salt and iron.

If according to the standard of 5 grams of salt per day recommended by the doctor of Gu Yi's world, a person can only consume 150 grams of salt in a month, that is to say, he has to consume 35 million people to consume more than 5,000 tons of coarse salt every month, even if he will have a population of 20 million people under his name in the future, and he will produce and sell part of it, there will still be a "gap" of 15 million people.

According to Gu Yi's speculation, if the salt price is 500 yuan, it is estimated that only the nobles who own fiefdoms can eat it, and the population of this class is not even 1/10,000 of the total population of the Great Wilderness, so this price is not considered

If the price of salt drops to 100 gold, about 1% of the total population, the nobles and the class can barely eat, but they are not necessarily willing to buy and eat it often, so it is okay to sell high-priced salt in the short term, and if this price is maintained for a long time, the salt produced will not be sold at all.

At least it must be reduced to 10 gold丨nobles丨The class is willing to eat salt openly, so that Gu Yi can truly develop the salt industry.

As for the common people who can earn a lot of gold a month and live a good life, then they can only be sorry, when Gu Yi can develop modern salt-making equipment, and then consider reducing the price of salt to a price that they can accept.

This price reduction process from 1,000 gold to 10 gold is affected by the consumption demand of Bluestone City丨, the initial production speed, and the possibility that a certain industry needs to consume a large amount of salt in the future, and it should last about two to five years to complete the price reduction.

During this period, just selling "high-priced salt" was enough for Gu Yi to make a lot of money, at least he didn't have to worry about the cost of materials for building the city.

After signing the lease deed, Gu Yi naturally immediately planned to take people to the salt brine mine for a field trip to see whether to build a salt plant and large-scale salt making equipment on the spot, or to transport the raw materials back to Bluestone City for processing, taking into account the fuel for boiling salt and the difficulty of material transportation.

After all, the large and small biogas digesters that have been built in Bluestone City can provide natural biogas fuel for boiling salt, and there is no need to waste energy to dig coal mines, which are clean, hygienic and energy-saving, which needs to be seen by him in person, and then set a detailed plan.

But before Gu Yi and his entourage left the Trap Valley, as soon as they walked near the iron courtyard, they felt a gust of evil wind coming, and Gu Yi was caught in the arm socket by the old dwarf who suddenly rushed out of the fire cave, and was kidnapped into the fire hole.

After a long while, they came back to their senses, and the powerful black-armored guards around Amber Hu and Ziyu trembled and stammered, "Less... No, no, no, that's too strong."

The owner of Xiaoyi on the side was taken aback, the highest grade among the four grades of "羯, 彘, Ji and prison"?

The black-armored guards around Lian Ziyu, who are usually inconspicuous and impervious, are just 丨 Ji Pin丨, and the soldiers of 丨 prison products can already be regarded as extremely rare peak combat power in 丨Iron Fort 丨
