Old lady Chen took the initiative to run to Lu's house.

"Brother Lu, have you heard about it too?"

Lu Dingtian's face was ugly, and he nodded, "I thought that Lu An's kid would definitely be anxious when he encountered problems in the production of glassware."

I didn't expect him to come up with a fast ice-making business, what a monster! ”

"What? Brother Lu, do you mean that the ice cubes of Kid Lu An were not stored the previous winter, but made on the spot?! ”

"Of course!"

"I have already asked the steward to inquire about this matter, and the steward has also personally visited the site to check it out, otherwise, how can there be a place to store ice cubes in such a small stall?"

"On such a hot day, even if the ice cubes are stored, I'm afraid they will melt long ago, but the ice cubes taken out by those vendors at any time are intact and must have been made on site!"

Old Lady Chen shook her head, "No way!" What method can Lu An's kid use to make ice on the spot? ”

Speaking of this, Old Lady Chen continued, "Otherwise...... Let's find a way to inquire, or forcibly bring back a few vendors to force them to ask? ”

Lu Dingtian smiled bitterly, "Brother Chen, don't be impulsive, the old man has inquired, those vendors don't seem to be anything, but in fact, they are all practitioners, and they seem to be soldiers in the barracks." ”

"Soldiers? You mean......"

"That's right, it should be those soldiers that Chu Yin sent to Lu An before!"

Lu Dingtian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If it is really those soldiers, we will get into trouble, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Old Lady Chen was silent when she heard this.

Lu Dingtian was right.

Although the two families have a big business, if they take the initiative to provoke the army soldiers, it will be troublesome.

"It's weird, what kind of method did that kid use to make ice? If we don't figure this out, just this summer, that kid will be able to get out of the predicament by using the ice-making method, and he will soon turn over again, and our previous layout will probably be in vain. ”

Lu Dingtian nodded, "Yes, the old man has also thought about this, the biggest possibility is saltpeter!" ”

"Saltpeter?" Old Lady Chen was surprised, "You mean, Lu An uses saltpeter to make ice?" ”

"Not bad! Presumably Brother Chen also knows that some time ago, the old man asked my family to go to Baqu County, right? ”

"Actually, it's because the old man heard that Lu An sent a caravan to Baqu County to buy saltpeter in large quantities, and even wanted to buy saltpeter mines."

"So the old man deliberately let Dao'er stop the destruction."

"Originally, everything went very smoothly, but in the end, Lu An bought a small saltpeter mine."

"A few days ago, Lu An just transported some saltpeter back to Danyang, and in just a few days, he made so many ice-making stalls, so the old man felt that there was no other possibility besides saltpeter."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Dingtian told Old Lady Chen in detail what happened to Lu Youdao in Baqu County.

"Shhh This Lu An kid is really ruthless! easily tossed the owner of the largest saltpeter mine in Baqu to death! ”

In addition to being shocked, Old Lady Chen said solemnly, "Brother Lu, this matter cannot be ignored, Lu An must not be allowed to turn over again!"

It's really not possible, let's find a way to unite and go to Baqu County to control all the saltpeter mines!

The saltpeter mine that Lu An bought is not large-scale, and there will always be a day when it will be consumed.

When the time comes, there will be no source of saltpeter, and his ice-making business will be over. ”

Lu Dingtian frowned slightly, and finally sighed, "Okay, that's the only way!"

Alas!

Caifu has lived for so long, and it is the first time he has met such a difficult boy.

First white sea sand, now saltpeter.

These two things are usually rotten street things.

But in the hands of that kid, they all became treasures!

However, now that Brother Chen has completely controlled Baihai Sand, Lu An will not be able to jump for a few days.

Let's control the saltpeter again, sooner or later he will come to the door! ”

The two discussed and decided, and Mrs. Chen hurriedly rushed home to arrange it.

After Mrs. Chen left, Lu Dingtian was not idle, and sent Lu Youdao to Baqu County to manage the acquisition of saltpeter mines.

"Yi'er." Lu Dingtian called his eldest son Lu Youyi to the front again.

"Father, what's the matter?"

"A few months ago, my father secretly sent someone to Jincheng County to investigate the matter of snow salt.

After all, as soon as Lu An's snowflake salt came out, our Lu family's sea salt business was almost completely suspended.

If we don't solve this trouble as soon as possible, my Lu family won't be able to last long.

According to the investigation, the place where Lu'an produces snowflake salt is in the area of Baishi Mountain in Jincheng County.

It's just that Lu An has run it like an iron bucket, and our people can't get the secret recipe for snowflake salt as soon as possible.

However, the parent just received a message.

Lu An was on the Turkic side some time ago and made a big deal.

Do you know what it means that he actually traded sulfur in large quantities with the Turks with snowflake salt? ”

"Brimstone?" Lu Youyi was shocked when he heard this, "Sulfur is a military substance, which is generally used to burn military camps or burn enemy ships.

I understand!

Father, Lu An bought a large amount of sulfur, which must have been supplied to Chu Yin for war! ”

"Idiot!" Lu Dingtian scolded angrily when he heard this, "You can't use your brain?

Even if Lu An brought sulfur to supply Chu Yin, would his father care about these things?

Although Lu An has a close relationship with Chu Yin, don't forget, he is also a businessman! ”

Being scolded by Lu Dingtian, Lu Youyi suddenly withered, and asked in a low voice, "What does my father mean...... The sulfur that Lu An got was related to his business? ”

Lu Dingtian glared at his son dissatisfied, "When Old Lady Chen came just now, didn't you hear what we said?"

Whether it is Lu An's glassware or snowflake salt, it is the ice-making business that has just emerged, and they all have one thing in common.

Raw materials are needed for all of these businesses!

For example, the main raw material needed for his glassware production is white sea sand!

The ice-making business definitely needs saltpeter.

From this, what he needs for his snowflake salt business must be sulfur! ”

After Lu Dingtian's reminder, Lu Youyi finally suddenly realized, "The child understands!"

What my father meant was that as long as he knew what materials Lu An needed to produce snowflake salt, it would be easy to do.

We can be like the Chen family, completely control the white sea sand, and then completely control the saltpeter, as long as we completely control the sulfur trade, Lu An's snowflake salt will definitely be finished! ”

"Rubbish!" Lu Dingtian was furious when he heard this, "Why did the old man give birth to such a stupid person as you!"

The sulfur that Lu An traded was reached with the Turks, and now that he is married to a Turkic princess, even if our Lu family has money, can we prevent him from obtaining sulfur? ”

"Uh...... The child is foolish. ”

"Listen!" Lu Dingtian no longer had much hope for this son, and commanded in a cold voice, "Our Lu family's sea salt can't be sold anymore, and it definitely won't last too long."

You quickly send someone to buy some sulfur, and then ask the people in our salt farm to step up the test to see if they can produce the same snowflake salt as Lu An.

Tell the people in the salt works that as long as someone develops snowflake salt, they will be rewarded for their father! ”
