"Do you know what brought everyone together today?"

In Jinguan City, a thin middle-aged man touched his beard and looked at the big table of people.

"Gan Youde, if you have something to say, don't delay me to listen to the music if you have nothing to do!"

A fat-headed, big-eared man sat next to him and said impatiently.

"Boss Zhu, if you really don't want to come, you won't be sitting here now."

Gan Youde looked at the fat and oily Boss Zhu with disdain.

Coming here today is a big salt merchant in the entire Shu, and the news of Tang Ping's entry into Sichuan can't be hidden, and he has no intention of hiding it.

After all, there were more than 1,000 people, but after they entered Sichuan, they did not rush to Fuyi County, but stopped in Mianzhou.

The news to the outside world is that Li Ke has not seen his son for a long time, and Tang Ping is also willing to let this apprentice stay at home for a few more days, so that the old people in the family can enjoy the joy of family.

"Hmph, this is the government's decision, how can a few of us change it?" A somewhat sturdy salt merchant slapped the table and said.

"Wu Laosan, this Yizhou Prefecture Thorn Shi is your brother-in-law, can't you think of a way?"

"Hehe, do you know he's my brother-in-law now? Last year, my brother-in-law had a decree coming down, how did you obstruct it? Feudal official? Have you ever been afraid of the government?"

A group of people were arguing and shouting, but they couldn't come to any conclusions.

Although it is an industry, everyone's usual friendship is just like that, it is not nice to say, and no one has done anything less about stabbing in the back when robbing business.

"Ahem!" The eldest old man coughed twice: "If it's so noisy, everyone doesn't need to eat, let's go back, and what we want to do in the future is to settle our destiny!"

The old man spoke, and the others quieted down, this old man's surname is An, and he is the largest salt merchant in Shu, and he may not be as good as Li Hak's family in terms of family property, but in the salt industry, he is the boss of Shu.

"Old man An, what do you say? This is all said to cut off people's financial routes like killing their parents, and now this surnamed Tang has entered Shu, and it is clear that he is going to cut off everyone's back road."

"You say, 'Why are they so fearless?' Old man An looked at the other salt merchants below.

"I've inquired about it, and people have a new way of digging wells and pumping water, just digging salt wells and pumping brine

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It's a lot lower than ours, and it's said that there is a new way to boil salt, which can make better snowflake salt."

These news were originally released by Tang Ping, and it is not surprising that they can inquire about it.

"What if we had a new way of digging wells and pumping water?"

"Old man An, the new method was made by the surnamed Tang, it is said that he studied under Lu Ban and is proficient in all kinds of exquisite things, if we can come up with a new method of drilling wells, we would have come up with it a long time ago, why not the current method that has been used for hundreds of years."

Boss Zhu sighed a little as he spoke, the scale of his salt farm is not the largest, but he has the most salt in Tun, so he is the most at a loss when the price of salt is lowered.

"Boss Zhu, this thing was made by the little guy surnamed Tang, but can he still make it himself?"

As soon as Old Man An finished speaking, several people's eyes lit up, and Nagan Youde slapped the table: "Right! No matter how smart that baby is, we still have to call someone to make this thing for him, we just need to buy the drawings from the person who makes the things, can't we all dig our own wells and pump water?"

Everyone is overjoyed, if there are drawings, then they will naturally have a bargaining chip to confront the government, you dig wells, we also dig, you smoke brine, we also smoke.

Even if the cost of boiling salt is higher than yours, after all, there are so many channels that have been in operation for so many years, and you can finally compete with the government.

Of course, the premise of all this is the policy of the Tang government not to monopolize the salt industry.

"I just don't know if it's too late to send someone to Chang'an to inquire now? If in a few days, the man surnamed Tang continues to go south......

Old man An smiled and looked at a few people: "Didn't you notice that there was one person missing today?"

"That's right, why didn't Shopkeeper Cai come today?"

Under the reminder of Old Man An, everyone found that there were two less salt merchants today.

One is Li Ke, and now they have divided Li Ke into people on Tang Ping's side.

There is also a shopkeeper Cai, the scale of Cai's business is only medium, but he is actually the cousin of Old Man An, and the two families have close contacts.

The shopkeeper Cai always looks at Old Man An's head in everything he does, which is also one of the reasons why Old Man An can become the largest salt merchant.

"Old man An, you mean ......?"

"That's right, if Shopkeeper Cai gets the drawings,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I'm going to share it with you, but the cost of it is ......," Old Man An asked slowly, looking at a table of salt merchants.

"Naturally, I'll be evened out!"

"That's right, as long as you buy the drawings, it's a million profits, no matter how much money it is, everyone will share it equally."

"In this case, everyone should rest assured for two days, wait for the good news from the shopkeeper Cai, as soon as there is news, he will fly the pigeon to send the letter back."

Hearing Old Man An say this, the major salt merchants who were originally worried relieved one after another.

"Old Man An is really scheming!"

"How else to say it, ginger is still old and spicy?"

"In the future, we will all have to learn from Old Man An."

The salt merchant here said happily and slapped Old Man An's sycophants into the air.

On the other side, the absent shopkeeper Cai touched the sweat of his head.

When he thinks about the experience just now, he feels incredible.

A few days ago, he happened to be in Chang'an, and got the instruction of his cousin, that is, Old Man An, to buy the drawings back at all costs.

At first, he asked a lot of people to inquire, and finally learned that the things were mainly made by the Ministry of Industry, and the Craftsmen Association had found some people to help, but one person was responsible for a small part.

He wanted the artisan association to help find out which craftsmen were involved, but the person he entrusted with the relationship directly refused, and he didn't pay any amount of money.

In the end, he was anxious to beg for it, and dropped a sentence: This thing is made by His Majesty himself, you have the ability to figure it out, you can get it yourself, I will live well in Chang'an with my family, don't come to harm me.

Then Shopkeeper Cai found several craftsmen from the craftsman association, and they said that they had signed a confidentiality agreement.

It was easy to spend a lot of money and pry open the mouths of several people, only to find that the small parts they made were no different from a pile of scrap metal in front of them.

You must know that the entire assembly line operation, the entire drilling rig has more than 80 steps and processes.

Unless the shopkeeper Cai can find craftsmen in each of the more than 80 processes, it will be in vain.

And this final combination is also the most troublesome, that is, he holds more than 80 parts, and he may not be able to combine them.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to find craftsmen from the artisan association.
