Chapter 69: Miss Wang's Careful Thoughts
You must know that in China, in ancient times, these salt merchants were mostly lawbreakers who exploited the people.
And almost all of them, these bloodsuckers, want to arbitrage directly or indirectly by bypassing government taxes.
As for salt, it is the foundation of people's livelihood, and there is no one who does not need it.
In ancient times, there were many, many rich celebrities who actually started by smuggling salt, but many people didn't know it, such as Cheng Biting Jin and others, in fact, they started by selling illicit salt.
Salt is an indispensable necessity for people's lives.
Since it is an indispensable necessity, if only one merchant sells salt, if he sells it at as high a price as he wants, then the buyer has no bargaining power, and the seller can arbitrarily make a large amount of profit, which is the source of the salt merchant's sudden wealth.
Therefore, if Chen Fan wants to strengthen the Qin State, the best way is to expel these profiteers who wantonly scrape the people's fat and ointment from the Qin State, and the sale of salt can only be controlled by the state.
And now Chen Fan also knows that the reason why Wang Yan has changed her attitude, from the fear of death and life just now, Chen Fan reported to the official.
Then now I want to cooperate with Chen Fan, because Chen Fan knows the method of making fine salt, so he is not afraid that Chen Fan will kill himself for profit because of this, after all, the two are now grasshoppers on the same line, and they both master the method of making salt.
It's just that Chen Fan's salt-making method is more accurate than that researched by Wang Yan in ancient times, and the salt produced is more bitter.
Moreover, Chen Fan's salt-making method can purify mineral salt, which can almost be called poisonous salt, into edible salt, which is incomparable to Wang Yan's salt-making method.
After all, Chen Fan not only has a superior salt-making method, but also may be a dignitary, after all, Chen Fan can walk with Li Shishi, the top brand of the drunken immortal building, how much face should this be? It's definitely either rich or expensive.
Wang Yan probably came up with such an idea after Chen Fan wrote out the salt-making method, and the two worked together to sell fine salt, which is better than coarse salt.
The price can also be marked as cheaper than kosher salt to attract people to buy it.
As a result, these expensive salt sellers have stepped down one after another, so that the people can eat better salt.
And Wang Yan can add some deterrence through Chen Fanda's status as an official and nobleman, so that these lawbreakers will be jealous, lest these salt dealers and dogs jump off the wall in a hurry.
and even harm themselves through various means. And you can make a fortune because of this, you can also make the people's lives better, and satisfy one of your noble wishes, which is not a win-win situation.
And what about Chen Fan? Naturally he didn't think so, he knew Wang Yan's careful thinking, after all, if Wang Yan, an ordinary person, went to sell salt, he would naturally be persecuted, but he could make these illegal salt dealers jealous.
But as far as Chen Fan knows, things are far from being so simple, which of those ministers in the palace is not in collusion with salt sellers?
And if Wang Yan's object of cooperation is not Chen Fan, these goals will not be achieved at all, let alone expel those salt sellers, and they will not be able to fight them at all, this girl still thinks too simply.
And Chen Fan's purpose is far from being so simple, just to make a fortune and just temporarily let the people live a good life, he wants a long-term plan, to directly annihilate all the salt dealers, and hand over the control of salt directly to the government, only by the king of Qin or himself who is in charge of the country to decide the price of salt, and never let these salt dealers have any attempts.
"Actually, there are still some wishes that want to satisfy selfishness, don't laugh at me."
Wang Yan said that she admits that she not only wants to help the people, but also wants to get rich.
Chen Fan didn't say anything when he saw Wang Yan admit his careful thoughts, after all, people are always selfish.
People are always selfish, this is inevitable, if Chen Fan is transferred to Wang Yan's position, Chen Fan is estimated to be even more greedy than Wang Yan.
But who told him that Chen Fan would be the one who would be in charge of the country in the future? It is definitely necessary to choose the people.
It is inevitable that the interests of the people should be preferred, and the people are in dire straits, how can the country be strong?
Wang Yan smiled slightly, smiled beautifully, seemed to be grateful for Chen Fan's understanding, and said: "Since Chen Gongzi understands, then I am also grateful, so when will I go to see those salt mines?" ”
Seeing that Wang Yan had begun to express her intention to cooperate, Chen Fan also agreed, saying: "We will go tomorrow, and then Miss Wang will have a child!" ”
When Chen Fan spoke, he even made a wave of Wang Yan's jokes.
Wang Yan naturally understood Chen Fan's teasing, and said: "Chen Gongzi, don't make fun of me, when should it be, isn't it Chen Gongzi's decision?" ”
Chen Fan got up slowly and said in a sincere tone: "Since the time has been set, then we can count it as a cooperative relationship now!" ”
Wang Yan smiled slightly, and said in a sincere tone: "Don't scare me anymore in the future!" Otherwise, I'll end this partnership immediately! ”
"Hahaha, that's nature, go first!"
Seeing that Wang Yan began to complain about Chen Fan's teasing before, Chen Fan also felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, Chen Gongzi walks slowly."
Wang Yan also got up and sent Chen Fan out.
Chen Fan opened the door, he knew that this dangerous business was completed, although on the surface he was also trying to make a fortune, but in fact, it was not the same road as Wang Yan at all, Wang Yan's girl wanted to get rich, and he was ready to hand over all the salt to the government to control.
Although the road may be a little remote in the future, at least the purpose of the two is accurate now, that is, to sell all the salt of these blood-sucking salt sellers!
This idea is undoubtedly very bold, you know, I don't know how many officials in the government have colluded with these salt dealers, and there are countless people who have profited from it, to do this, it is equivalent to offending all the officials in the whole country, as the old saying goes, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents, you can imagine how dangerous this life is.
But Chen Fan also knew that as long as he could perfectly achieve this extremely difficult first step, then it would naturally only be a matter of time before he handed over the control of salt to himself or King Qin.
It's also thanks to Wang Yan, this girl is looking for herself, if it were someone else, I'm afraid she would have retreated a long time ago.
Although it is dangerous, Chen Fan is also fearless, who called himself to be in charge of the country.
With this sense of mission, Chen Fan naturally wants God to block and kill God, and Buddha to block and kill Buddha.
Chen Fan walked out of Wang Yan's room.
"! Look at that kid coming out! ”
"What the hell is that kid doing in there? What is the relationship between him and Miss Wang! ”
"Who knows, maybe where to find the little lover!"
"My girl!"
As soon as these diners who ate fennel beans saw Chen Fan coming out of Wang Yan's room, the whole person was not good, and they cried for their fathers and mothers, eager to take a piece of tofu and kill them.
His goddess was taken away by someone else, and this feeling of falling out of love is simply worse than death.
Listening to the jealous chatter of these diners, Chen Fan didn't pay attention to it, but walked towards Xiao Er, Chen Fan said to Xiao Er
"Little Er, I'm an acquaintance of Miss Wang, bring me a few bags of fennel beans."
Xiao Er turned his head to look at Chen Fan, remembering that it was this kid who entered the boss's room, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
That's her beautiful boss, she hasn't even gotten a trace of oil, and she was taken the lead by this kid.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Er felt a little heartache.
But he quickly calmed down.
Xiao Eryi looked at Chen Fan with a pair of rat eyes, and said to Chen Fan in an unhurried tone: "Are you thinking about fart? What are you? There are rules here, and there are queues for everyone, don't you see people queuing outside? ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper pointed to the diners who were queuing up outside.
The shopkeeper directly rejected Chen Fan, which Chen Fan did not expect.
Chen Fan still thought that he could enjoy a little privilege as a friend of the boss.
After all, he has been in Miss Wang's room for so long, and it stands to reason that he must have a little privilege, right?
Chen Fan thought so, but the shopkeeper didn't think so, but directly rejected Chen Fan in a stern tone.
This made Chen Fan a little unhappy, but Chen Fan quickly suppressed it, after all, he was indeed suspected of cutting in line.
After all, people are queuing up well, and it is indeed a little inappropriate for you to suddenly cut in line.
"Hey, I'll just say it, this kid is not well-intentioned, he still wants to cut the line!"
A man in his twenties sitting next to him with pockmarked faces said.
"It's not, I'm still thinking about cutting in line, hurry up and get out of here!"
There were also many people next to him who chimed in, looking like they were ready to see Chen Fan's jokes.
The surrounding crowd saw that Chen Fan, a rival in love, was deflated, and they also began to mock mercilessly.
Chen Fan was not ready to pay attention to them at this time, although he was indeed suspected of cutting in line, but he also saw the wooden card of Li Shishi's girl, so he came to try it, he also thought that this store had a special VIP service, after all, Li Shishi took the card and quickly got the fennel beans without queuing, Chen Fan still remembered.
That's why he wanted to try it, but Chen Fan didn't expect that the shopkeeper would directly refuse, although he was very faceless, but who told Chen Fan to care for the people?
Forgive him, Chen Fan thought so, and prepared to leave the restaurant opened by Miss Wang.
After all, it doesn't do you any good to continue pestering, it's just a plate of fennel beans with fine salt, as long as you add some fine salt, you can make it, and even make it more delicious, and by the way, you can make some other dishes, such as chicken, duck, goose, beef, mutton...... You don't need to come here to buy it at all.
The reason why Chen Fan wanted to buy a little was just to let Li Shishi fill his stomach, after all, he promised the other party to invite him to dinner, but Li Shishi, the top brand of Xianhelou, went out with him, not only did he not eat, but he also waited outside the door for so long, if those dignitaries who wanted to make an appointment with Li Shishi and couldn't make an appointment knew about it, they wouldn't go crazy?
If you continue to entangle here, it will only increase your troubles, Chen Fan doesn't want to waste too much time with a stack of fennel beans and a group of people who are jealous of him, after all, he is also a little hungry, he has just been whetted out of his appetite by fine salt, and he is eager to eat a big meal at this time, how can he have time to waste it with these people?
Thinking so, Chen Fan turned around and prepared to walk out of the restaurant.
At this moment, Miss Wang's room suddenly opened.
I saw that Miss Wang, a beauty who was usually seen, walked out of the room.
