In the DC area of Luoyang City, several wealthy merchants from the Qi Kingdom did not go home immediately after leaving the palace, but gathered together to discuss whether to buy these things.

"Bao Ping, Guan Yi, He Wen......

Our trouble is big, or our Qi country is in big trouble, the quality of the refined salt sold by King Zhou is far more than the salt sold by our Qi country, it can be said that as soon as his salt comes out, anyone who has a little status in the future will disdain our Qi salt and buy this refined salt instead.

You say we're buying refined salt and selling it.

Or do you boycott and not buy? ”

Qi is close to the sea, and the salt industry has always been one of the pillar industries of Qi, and some of the major princely states do not produce much salt, nearly half of the salt in the country is supplied by Qi, and the salt of the Zhou royal family is completely supplied by Qi.

The merchants of Qi who were present also operated by the projects mainly engaged in the salt industry, supplemented by other industries.

Therefore, compared to things like glass toilet paper, it is undoubtedly refined salt that has the greatest impact on them, and it is also the most difficult for them to accept, after all, they each know very well in their hearts that no matter who they sell, the salt is indeed profitable.

But they can't ignore that they are Qi people.

Helping to buy and sell these refined salts of the Zhou State will inevitably have a great impact on the main salt industry of the Qi State and cause losses.

This really made Anping a little difficult to choose.

"Brother Anping, you think too much, is it useful if we don't buy it, don't others buy it, don't other countries buy it, in my opinion, we not only have to buy it, but also buy more, and hurry up to send the salt to the territory of Qi in the shortest possible time, so that the king can know about this matter and think about how to deal with it.

We can't make a choice for the king.

The king can only know the news as soon as possible. ”

Bao Ping almost did not hesitate to express his views directly, and He Wen then continued:

"Not only refined salt, but also those white granulated sugars like white crystals, monosodium glutamate, which can make white water incomparably sweet, and all kinds of spices, are undoubtedly good things that can make people crazy and make many nobles compete for them.

After eating the food that was cooked with those ingredients.

Who can eat bitter salt and bad honey!

I can assure you that as long as the nobles of all countries can taste the deliciousness of those spices, there will be no one who will not want to buy them.

The same goes for other things.

Let the officials of the king think about the matter of the salt industry, what is the use of thinking for them, who can hear for them, and now let's discuss how much money they have in their hands, how much cloth they can take out, how to buy things in the most reasonable way, and transport them back to make money.

I'm going to sell this house in Luoyang.

Exchange more coins and buy more things......"

"Brother He Wen is right, the possible impact of refined salt should still worry those officials, where did King Zhou get the refined salt and these rare things, we don't have to dig deeper, after all, no matter where the things come from, it is estimated that we can't interfere.

It's the right thing to buy more things and sell them back.

In my opinion, this time we had better buy more seasonings, these seasonings not only last for a long time, but also easy to transport, unlike glass, very fragile, transport a car back to Qi country, I don't know how many pieces can survive, although the toilet paper is also very good, but that thing is light, and it occupies a lot of space, and it is quite troublesome to transport. ”

Guan Yi then echoed and directly appealed to the procurement opinion.

"The soap for washing hands and the cream for wiping hands are also very good, not only does it smell good, but it also cleans very well, and it scared me when I first used it.

I never knew my hands were so dirty.

It's much easier to use than saponari.

I think all women who love cleanliness should like it and are willing to spend money to buy it, even men who like to be fresh will buy it, after all, the feeling of being refreshed is really comfortable. ”

Compared with most businessmen who just want to scrape together money and buy more products to return to China to make the difference, some big nobles are much more greedy, and in addition to wanting to own these good things at the first moment, what they want more is to steal the secret recipe in order to monopolize the profits.

Even if they knew very well that the secret recipe for these things was taken out by Ding Yun, it would not affect their greed.

Because the Zhou royal family is too weak.

From the weak to the big nobles, there is no reverence.

They may not dare to rebel and destroy the country, but who would not dare to steal some secret recipes or something?

The only thing to be thankful for is that they are not bold enough to run directly into the palace and force Ding Yun to hand over the secret recipe or something, most of the great nobles who have risen to the heart of greed just look at the workshops built by Ding Yun, and send people over overnight to find out the news, or send people to find out the secret recipe.

There are probably people who want to kidnap workers and ask for secret recipes.

However, Ding Yun had long considered that some nobles in this era may not have any concept of rule of law and moral constraints at all, and the strong and the weak who were suppressed by Zhou Li's restraints have been revealed in the open.

So she not only installed a lot of traps and protection systems for her shell workshops, but also gave simple training to the workers inside, as long as it was not a large army to attack the workshop, it was basically a few that would be destroyed.

Even most of them can be captured alive.

Just kidding, chili oil anti-wolf spray and other things are beyond the imagination of the intruder, and a few sprays are enough to put those who come in over the wall and want to steal.

Even the guy who wanted to tie someone up was knocked down.

Even if the other party dodged the chili oil anti-wolf spray.

There are traps, crossbow arrows, anesthetics or something......

If it weren't for Ding Yun's unwillingness to kill more, he could just put some gunpowder in the trap and send them away.

It's still the kind of corpse that is incomplete.

So that night, many of those big nobles were sent out, but none of them could go back, and as soon as it was dawn the next morning, Ding Yun sent back all the people he caught, whether dead or alive, as a warning.

No matter what those big nobles thought in their hearts, or whether they planned to give up stealing the secret recipe, but anyway, in the short term, they must have settled down, and they all took the currency in a regular manner, or the cloth that could be used as currency, and went to Ding Yun's store to buy things.

It didn't take long for Ding Yun to harvest a lot.

Carts full of copper coins, knife coins from various countries, and even shell coins, or gold, silver, cloth and other things, were transported to the palace, and Ding Yun did not forget to share some soup for his son while eating meat, not only gave a lot of the products sold in her store to King Zhou Jing, but also gave him one-third of the income in exchange for some wasteland on the edge of Luoyang City, as well as some young and strong slaves.

In order to expand the scale of the industry and its own power.
