Chapter 525: Bartering

"How big is this pool?" Lin Nanzheng asked curiously.

"The ridges are generally about half a foot high, and they are built into square pools. Area: From top to bottom, the side length of each square pool is five steps. The beach pond is dug low one by one from top to bottom, and the drop is generally three inches. There is a pool door between the upper and lower pools for downward water. Hong Lianshuo continued to draw on the beach, "There is a platform built under the bottom of the pool, which can be called a salt mound, for salt storage. Dig two or three large ditches around the beach pond, commonly known as salt ditches, in order to store water in the tide. On the seaward side of the ditch, open a water gate and set up a gate to prepare for opening and closing. Outside it, a tidal ditch is opened, which leads directly to the sea, which is used to lead the tide into the ditch and prepare the salt ditch to accept the tide. ”

"Then let's start building! It will be completed as soon as possible, and the salt will rise as soon as possible. Lin Nanzheng rubbed his hands excitedly when he heard this, "It won't be tight this day." ”

"What's tight, it's just an empty purse." Han Baohu touched his waist and said.

"Hey! Do you have any land for money? Hong Lianshuo looked at them angrily and said.

"As you say, money is the guts of men." Lin Nanzheng said smartly, "Rich and rich! ”

"I think this salt is just around the corner, the key is how can we sell it?" Han Baohu frowned and looked at them and said, "And transportation is also a headache. ”

"Mountain bandits are indispensable to travel by land these days!" Lin Nanzheng stroked his forehead and said, "That's the master of killing people and overstepping goods." ”

"It's not easy, if you destroy them, you won't have it." Chen Zhongyuan clasped his fists with both hands and crackled, "Those others are frightened when they hear it, we are not afraid, just sharpen Lao Tzu's knife." ”

"There's still a water transport to go." Hong Lianshuo drew on the beach again, "From here, go north along the coastline and go straight to Liaodong." ”

"If you go by water, it's much more stable." Lin Nanzheng looked at the map outlined on the ground.

"Is that a good wind?" Chen Zhongyuan asked with concern, "Manpower should be slower." ”

"In summer, the southeast wind is just downwind, saving time and effort." Hong Lianshuo said as he drew the direction of the wind.

"That's just right, when I go, the ship is loaded with cargo, and it's heavy! When I came back, the boat was light ......," Chen Zhongyuan said happily.

"Not necessarily, you may also buy Liaodong's specialties when you come back." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"What is abundant in Liaodong?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with sparkling eyes and asked.

"Mink, deer antler, ginseng." Lin Nanzheng said without thinking.

"Do we need this?" Chen Zhongyuan's gaze fell on Hong Lianshuo and asked.

"Yes! We need everything now. Hong Lianshuo nodded like pounding garlic and said, "The Northeast is a treasure land!" ”

"It's just too cold, colder than ours." Lin Nanzheng shuddered when he heard this and said.

"Just wear something thicker." Hong Lianshuo said simply and easily.

"Those paper quilts and paper clothes are not good." When Han Baohu heard this, he immediately said, "Last year, it can be said that it was barely improvised. ”

"You still have to wear a sheepskin jacket to keep you warm." Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes looked at him and asked, "Are there many sheep shepherds in Liaodong?" ”

"Liaodong Yi Diduo, or the former herding horses and sheep, although they are also actively sinicized." Hearing this, Han Baohu thought seriously and said.

"Then let's buy more sheep." Hong Lianshuo clapped his hands and said excitedly.

"Wait a minute, you'll be sure this salt will sell." Lin Nanzheng looked directly at her and said.

"It must be possible, Liaodong does not produce salt, so they have to buy it from the Central Plains." When Han Baohu heard this, the brown Tong Renying looked at them with a smile and said, "If our salt can always maintain such a high level and have an advantage in price, it would be strange if they didn't buy it!" ”

"How can you be sure that the price is cheap!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at him with wrinkled facial features and said, this is too arbitrary!

Han Baohu looked at him with a smile when he heard this, and said, "Liaodong is here, the Central Plains is here, we are here, in terms of price, at least how much less will it cost to transport!" ”

"Oh!" Chen Zhongyuan scratched his head and said, "I don't know much about this. ”

Han Baohu rubbed his chin and thought seriously, "If this is Liaodong selling salt, it can't surpass the history of Liaodong Thorns." ”

"Salt and iron are all government-run, and if you operate privately, you will be caught and sued." Lin Nanzheng frowned and said uneasily, "We are not familiar with Liaodong!" ”

"This relationship is all out of the way, and it becomes mature if you are not familiar!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a firm look in his eyes and said.

"That's it!" When Chen Zhongyuan heard this, he immediately said, "It's not the Zhuge family, you can bet on the three parties." He snorted lightly and said, "The goods are good, but they are still worried about selling!" ”

"I'm not worried about the reaction in the market, I'm worried about the official." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a frown and said.

"Salt is profiteering, there is no one who is not red-eyed, what crime does the official want to press on you, a word of things." Hong Lianshuo said worriedly.

"In this case, you have to give up some benefits." Han Baohu thought seriously for a moment and said.

"Anything that can be solved with money is not a thing." Hong Lianshuo nodded with his index finger and said, "The salt we sold doesn't cost money." ”

"What do you want if you don't want money? How can there be no money? Lin Nanzheng looked at her anxiously when he heard this and said.

"What do you want money for? Where to use it? Hong Lianshuo looked directly at him and asked.

"Uh......" Lin Nanzheng scratched his head, "It seems that it can only be used locally." ”

"That's right!" Hong Lianshuo's warm eyes looked at them and said, "Copper coins can only make weapons for us, what can silver do?" Except for piling up in the library, it's of little use. The deep black eyes shone with a thin light, "It is more practical to exchange goods, gold and silver are the attributes that people give it currency, otherwise it is just precious metals." Then he added, "And the equivalent barter is more acceptable, but gold and silver are not acceptable." ”

"So for what?" Chen Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows like silkworm babies and asked lightly.

"Sheep, herbs." Hong Lianshuo said without thinking, "As long as it's goods, we want it." ”

"You really miss the sheep." Han Baohu said with a smile when he heard this.

"This mutton can be eaten, and the sheepskin is used as a jacket to keep warm." Red Lotus's bright eyes looked at them and said, "The whole body is full of treasures." After a pause, he said, "It's still inconspicuous, if you want to change horses, people will be alert immediately, don't even think about it." ”

"Well, horses are a strategic commodity." Hearing this, Han Baohu nodded hurriedly and said, "Then let's exchange the equivalent goods." ”

"Since it's decided, let's dig first and build the salt field first." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with calm eyes and said, "In addition to the salt farm, this also has to build a house for living, storage, and living ......."

"Yes, it's some distance from the county seat." Lin Nanzheng's phoenix eyes looked around and said, "It's also easy to manage." ”
