"Yes! It's 'Salt Introduction!'

Mu Xiu was so busy that he was on all fours, with two big dark circles on his handsome face.

His whole body was very excited, and he did not show any fatigue.

「…… With this item, you can come to my Gu Clan's salt farm to exchange for an equal amount of sea salt! That's why I call it 'Salt Introduction!'"

Mu Xiu fiddled with a primary anti-counterfeiting bill, and while showing it to Gu Tingcheng, he explained, "We have grain, but we can't reach the river because the sea transportation is temporarily suspended."

"The front line urgently needs grain and grass, but the court of the new dynasty will not allocate it."

For this point, Mu Xiu, a "merchant" who is not in the field, has a little understanding.

In addition to the Gu family's well-informed, it is also related to the elite education that Mu Xiu received since he was a child.

In the court, the new monarch Chen Jing was jealous of Chen Duan.

He himself relied on his heavy troops to seek to usurp the throne, and he was naturally afraid that the people below him would follow suit.

Chen Duan is his cousin, and he is no less than his leading general.

Whether it is military merit, prestige, or the soldiers and horses in his hands, he is second only to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing will be jealous of Chen Duan, and even squeeze him out of Jiankang, he can't grow any longer.

Obviously, he had already "exiled" people to Lingnan, and the war on the riverside was tight, but Chen Jing still transferred Chen Duan.

In addition to Chen Duan's ability to defend the territory, Chen Jing also hoped that he could consume each other with the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty.

Snipe and clam compete with each other, Chen Jing, a fisherman, can profit.

And since it is "utilization", it is to weaken Chen Duan's troops, so naturally he will not ration grain, grass, ordnance, etc. according to the rules.

Chen Duan brought his own grain and grass to guard the border of the Southern Dynasties.

However, the fact that the imperial court does not allocate grain and grass is not only this one reason.

There is also the biggest reason, the imperial court really does not have much food.

After years of war, even Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice, could not withstand the loss of this kind of food.

Moreover, Chen Jing is a rebel in power, and he does not have the concept of "the world" in his bones.

When the treasury has money, he will not think about using it for disaster relief, road construction and other livelihood projects, but will only think about building a palace for himself, or simply pulling it into his private treasury.

When the official warehouse has food, he will give priority to supplying his own men and horses.

Other generals?

Hmph, they're all wolf cubs, potential threats.

Gu Tingcheng: ......

It's quite speechless.

became an emperor, but he was still a warlord in his bones.

How can such a person sit firmly in the dragon chair?

Therefore, the fall of the Southern Dynasties, in addition to the strength of the Northern Dynasties, also had its own reasons.

Although Mu Xiu has a minimum of political literacy, he still focuses more on his own areas of concern.

He will not rise to the height of "Chen Jing is not worthy of being the emperor" because of a grain and grass problem.

He cares more about how to solve this problem -

"There is no food in the imperial court! But the gentry and squires in Jiangnan have it!"

Mu Xiu has never been to Jiankang, but his husband is Gu Yi.

As an excellent teacher, Gu Yi not only taught Mu Xiu the knowledge in books, but also gave him a lot of more practical common knowledge such as astronomy and geography, customs and customs.

In Gu Yi's mouth, Mu Xiu learned about the vastness of the world, and also knew the splendid wealth, extravagance and absurdity of Jiankang.

Moreover, in the Northern Dynasties, there was actually a similar problem - the court had no money and no food, but the magnates and gentry were all rich.

Mu Xiu understands this, and he has a solution to the ending problem.

"They have long coveted the Gu family's sea salt, but the Gu family is a wealthy family, so they can monopolize the sea salt business."

"At most, it's to share some of the profits for the wealthy families in Lingnan and a few in-laws of the Gu family—"

However, there are still more in Jiankang's family that can't get a cup of sea salt.

No, to be exact, "affordable" sea salt.

The major families are on the coast, and in fact, there are also salt works.

It's just that they still adopt the most primitive method of boiling salt, which costs labor, iron pots and wood.

The cost of sea salt is high, and so is the price.

As for Gu's, he made a high-quality sea salt with better quality and lower price.

"Recipe! Gu must have a recipe for making salt!"

「…… If you can't get the recipe, you have to get more cheap salt!"

The major families knew the value of the formula, until they wanted to get the formula, and the idea of trying to get the formula could not be realized at all.

They can only settle for the next best thing and get as much cheap sea salt as possible.

If you can't be a first-hand producer, you can make huge profits as a second-hand dealer.

Mu Xiu felt the thoughts of the families, put it accurately, and dropped the bait-

"The salt merchants under the major families, as long as they can send grain to the military camp by the river, they can exchange the same amount of salt at the Gu family's trading house!"

"Of course, it will take time for our salt to be transported to Jiangnan, and we can't deliver the spot, so let's give a certificate first."

And this certificate is the "salt introduction".

With this certificate, those salt merchants will be able to withdraw enough sea salt from Gu's Commercial Bank!

"That's a great way!"

Gu Tingcheng praised it unreservedly.

She was sincerely amazed: Mu Xiu was really a natural business wizard.

Even if you are limited by the times, you can rely on your talent to work out the best plan.

"The gentry in Jiangnan already have food, and they are relatively close to the front line of the river, so they can deliver the grain to King Liang in a timely and effective manner."

As for the Gu family, there is no need to spend manpower and material resources, and they only need to divide some shares of the sea salt that are normally sold, which can perfectly solve the problem of food.

As for the gentry in Jiangnan, they are not at a loss.

They used their old grain accumulated for years in exchange for a sufficient amount of low-cost high-quality salt, even if they did not buy it in Jiangnan and transported it to the Northern Dynasty, they could still make a lot of money.

Win-win, oh no, this is a situation that is destined to be a "win-win" - Gu, Jiangnan gentry, and Chen Duan!

It's Mu Xiu, a genius, who created it by himself!

Sure enough, some people are born warriors, some are chosen generals, and some are business wizards who are chased by God to feed them.

And these have been, or will soon be, taken under Gu Tingcheng's command!

Scourge Water: "Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is mighty! Your hegemony is just around the corner!"

"Why don't we do a mission and celebrate?"

The water of calamity rolled out in time, smiling flatteringly, rubbing the conjured little claws, and trying his best to bewitch.

"This time, I can draw the heroine's script!"

"Your Majesty, don't you look forward to it?"

In order to lure Gu Allure, the disaster can be regarded as a bloody investment.

took the initiative to mention the "compensation" that he gritted his teeth and gave to Gu Tingcheng at the end of the last task - a heroine role!

Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, "The heroine's script? Hehe, it's not the kind of 'former heroine' who has been counterattacked."

In terms of playing word games, a big man like Gu Tingcheng who is engaged in government politics is the king.

She picked up the words, and it was definitely a disaster.

Scourge Waters: ......

Secretly wiping a cold sweat that didn't exist, it hurriedly smiled: "No! It's definitely not 'the former heroine!'"

At most, it's, it's-

Ahem, don't say!

Gu Qingcheng glanced at the troubled water for a long time before finally nodding: "Okay, then let's do the task!"
