When Tang Hu saw Liu Xianglian coming, he simply returned to his mansion again to set up a banquet to entertain him.

Tang Hu's men dispersed, leaving only the idiot monk to accompany him.

A few plates of dried fruit candied fruit came up, and Liu Xianglian stopped the little guy who was serving the wine: "Boss Tang, I won't drink today, if this matter is not resolved, the little brother is anxious."

"It's fine."

Tang Hu also looked very entangled: "Brother Liu, I don't know if there is a good way to deal with it?"

"Now there are only two ways to open up sources and reduce expenditures."

"How to open source? Teach me, brother!"

Liu Xianglian pondered, is there really a shortage of salt in the world?

There is no shortage!

If you want to say what resources are the most abundant in China in later generations, it is undoubtedly salt!

If it is really all mined, it will not be used for tens of thousands of years, and this era is just tied to the productivity and the monopoly of salt and iron, resulting in the status quo of "shortage" of salt.

"Brother Tang, do you think Da Zhou is salty?"

"There should be no shortage!

In previous years, the four major salt farms only dried salt for half a year, and there was still half a year of complete non-production!

Although the sunshine is not as good as that, it is not completely unproductive, so this situation is probably a deliberate act taken by the imperial court to control the price of salt."

"Not bad!

There is no shortage of salt at all in Da Zhou!

Now it is salt, just because of the artificial run, which has caused the demand for salt to increase falsely!

Because of panic, the common people who originally only needed ten catties of salt a year were eager to grab a hundred catties!

In this way, the more "scarce" the salt becomes!

The less salt that flows into the market, the more salt is lacking in the Great Zhou as a whole!"

"What are you talking about?"

Tang Hu's eyes were full of confusion: "Brother, just tell me how to open source."

「……」

Forget it, Liu Xianglian finally decided to give up exploring the problem of salt shortage with Boss Tang: "Boss Tang, I know that there is a place where there is a very good chance of salt, and it is an inexhaustible source of salt!"

"Where?"

"Sky Realm, Chaka Salt Lake!"

"Xining Fu Xinzhi" recorded: "In the west of the county, more than 500 li, southwest of Qinghai...... There are two hundred and dozens of miles around, and the salt system is natural, and it is endless. The Mongols fished it with an iron spoon and sold it for trade, and the people of the county relied on it."

"Chaka Salt Lake?"

Tang Hu thought for a while and smiled bitterly, "Brother, why haven't I heard of this salt lake you said?"

"It should be in the bitter cold land where Xining Mansion meets the Warat people, and now it is not clear whether the younger brother is not in the territory of the Great Zhou."

"I've been, I've been!"

Yu Feiya said: "I have been to Chaka Salt Lake, it is not in the territory of the Great Zhou, and there is no alien occupation, there are only three or four small nomadic tribes around, the sea and the sky are the same, it is very spectacular!"

Liu Xianglian continued: "Brother Tang, the salt contained in the Chaka Salt Lake is definitely the highest in the world, if you can occupy the Chaka Salt Lake, it is equivalent to occupying a golden mountain."

What does Liu Xianglian mean, Tang Hu still doesn't understand at this time.

He glanced at the idiot monk, and the idiot monk Wuji smiled and said: "Liu Gongzi is alone, chic and free, happy to come, traveling in the twilight of the North Sea, Tang Lao is different, there are many people in charge, and his every move is quite unfree.

This Chaka salt lake is thousands of miles away, if it is mined and opened up trade routes, I don't know how many people, how much silver, and how much time will be needed?

Liu Gongzi knows what he knows?"

Liu Xianglian chuckled, the other party's consideration of it shows that there is a door.

If her mind is hot, she says she wants to do it, then Liu Xianglian herself will have doubts and lack of confidence.

"Master Wuji, this matter is not in a hurry, let's continue to talk about it first, and then we will talk about open source, that Chaka Salt Lake is unoccupied, it must be the best choice for open source, whether it is for wealth or for the livelihood of the people, it is worth giving it a try.

Then let's talk about throttling!

Brother Tang, the extent of the destruction of this salt field is in the next

I have heard of it, but I have not seen it with my own eyes."

"We have a lot of lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a big tidal flood a while ago, so many salt pans were flooded by the sea, and now seven or eight out of ten are destroyed, and there are at most ten salt pans that can continue to dry salt!

At that time, those bandits destroyed the salt works, and my men went there at that time, and most of the salt brine that had been dried was also destroyed!

The Salt Guards were slaughtered!

It's terrible!"

"How much salt can the court save? Is it really endangered to the point of affecting the people of the world?"

"Brother Xian, some of the official salt will be transported to various big salt warehouses, and now I can't say it well, brother, according to the convention, forty percent of the annual salt production should have been put into storage, and those bandits come and go in a hurry, it should be impossible to destroy too much, so it is conservatively estimated that thirty percent of the whole year should still be there!"

"Sancheng, is that enough for the common people?"

Tang Hu smiled bitterly: "If the imperial court is willing to take it out to the people, it will naturally be enough, and it will not be a big problem to supply the entire Great Zhou before the production capacity is restored!"

But the truth is that it will never be so!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"The richer the more people possess it, and the more powerful people have, whether it is out of the need for profit or simply because of a status symbol, maybe they don't need it at all, but whatever it is, as long as the scarcity is, the more they will occupy it!

Therefore, the monk speculated that at most two months, the problem of lack of salt throughout the Great Zhou would become more and more severe, and eventually it would even lead to ......."

Further on, Tang Hu didn't say it.

Even if Liu Xianglian thinks about it with her toes, she knows what it will be like in the future.

To put it bluntly, the needs of the common people are the simplest, but when the needs of those ideas cannot be met and they can't survive, what will they do, the rulers of all dynasties have already seen it.

"Thank you Donald for your advice, the matter of throttling, the flow is no longer in our hands!

When I return to Yangzhou, I will discuss the interests and disadvantages with Lord Lin, and I will also write to the emperor!

It's a matter of life and death, and I think that no matter how much resistance there is, the emperor will not allow the male shoe man to act recklessly."

"Brother, you're still young!"

Tang Hu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The emperor is not a sage who obeys the law, his words are useful to the powerful, so they can be effective, otherwise, he can't even leave the palace!"

But it's good to tell him, brother!

Since someone is deliberately trying to destroy the salt farm, it will definitely not just take this step, and today, the situation is very serious!"

Tang Hu is right!

Since these people have ruined the salt works, they will definitely not just destroy the salt works!

Who will be behind this?

Liu Xianglian thought about it and didn't know who did all this!

He now has some opinions about the power of the Great Zhou, but the more he does this, the more confused he feels.

"Boss Tang, I said that the Chaka Salt Lake still hopes that Boss Tang will think twice, we can't do anything to throttle money, if we can sit down well, we can wait for the price to sell, retreat can be rich and rich, recruit troops and horses to become the party of the king of the earth, then it is definitely not just talking.

I hope Donald thinks twice!"

"Brother, what you said, brother, I know it in my heart!

It's just that the stakes are so high that I can't sit alone in the Lord, so give me three days!

Three days!

I will consult with my brothers, and if all of my brothers agree, then we will consider it in the long run!"

"Good!"

Liu Xianglian got the answer she wanted and smiled: "Then ask Donald to contact all the heroes as soon as possible, without further ado, it will change later!"

"Good! Mowgli, send Liu Gongzi away!"

After Monk Wuji sent Liu Xianglian and Yu Feiya away, a mysterious master came out of Tang Hu's courtyard!

This person has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is not angry and arrogant. new

"Boss Qin, you also heard what happened just now, do you think

How?"

"Not how!"

The man smiled and said, "The world is the world of the Shui family, what do we have to do with it?"

"But the people ......"

"Will the people starve to death without salt?"

"This ......"

Since ancient times, people have been going to eat salt, but if you don't eat salt or eat less salt, what will happen to people, whether they will really die, it seems that no one really knows.

"Don't worry, third child!

My subordinates have already tried, people will only be weak without salt, and eating less will not get in the way!

We have relied on these four salt farms for generations, and if we suddenly build a salt lake now, the balance that was difficult to form in the past will be broken!

Do you think that salt will enter the Great Zhou!?

If nothing else, Daesho, Ryukyu, Fuso, and even Goryeo, where does it not produce salt?

This salt can't become a rare item after all!

Now in this storm, we must wait and see what happens, and beware of the mastermind behind the scenes taking the opportunity to hit us with ideas."

"Or boss, you have thought it through, at this time, we don't care about Liu Xianglian's kid?"

"Hmm...... Daddy He is quite optimistic about this kid, you agree to this matter, but some people, let him toss it, if this kid doesn't have something, I'm afraid it will be bad."

"Haha...... High, that's high!" …………

Liu Xianglian and Yu Feiya left Tang Hu's mansion, and the two went directly to the Nuan Yu Pavilion.

Guanghan Palace is still deserted.

However, the master was still there, and he did not turn Liu Xianglian away.

"Aunt Liu, my niece has come to see you again, can I come in?"

"I said I wouldn't let you in, and you won't come in? Come in, I'll hide here for a few days, and it looks like I'm going to come to naught."

"Aunt Liu, I haven't seen you anymore, I promise, I won't come again in a month, except today!"

Yu Feiya jumped into the door, and Liu Ru went out to greet her.

"I've seen Fairy Willow."

Liu Xianglian greeted with a smile, Liu Ru ignored him, and he cheekily followed Yu Feiya into the house together.

Yu Feiya trotted into Liu Ruye's arms: "Aunt Liu, you are so fragrant!"

Liu Ru hugged Yu Feiya and said angrily: "How old are you, you are still like when you were a child, and you are not afraid that my old bones will not be able to hold you."

"Aunt Liu, you are just like a fairy, how can you be an old bone?

I'm old, you won't be old!?"

Yu Feiya and Liu Ru talked about it and asked, "You two little things, you two have nothing to do with the Three Treasures Palace, what are you doing to find me?"

"Liu Xianglian, you say!"

"Fairy Liu...... please save the people of the world."
