Salt is difficult to make, in addition to official salt, although there are some private salts, but it is also relatively coarse salt, and there are more impurities, which has a certain toxicity.

But even so, there are still countless people vying for it, because of the lack of salt, any dishes are dull and difficult to eat, and if you can't buy it, you can only dig it from the salt mine and eat poisonous salt directly.

That's the kind that can kill people if you eat a little.

It's just that what surprised Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali even more was that this refined salt had great significance.

With this kind of refined salt, the people of the world do not need to eat poisonous salt to damage their bodies, and the dishes prepared by refined salt are also more delicious and delicious, which also has a great effect on the health of the people in the world.

Looking at the shocked eyes of the two, Li Changfeng said lightly: "This is just the refined salt processed by our Baishi City Scientific Research Institute, and many of the refreshments you have eaten in Diandude before are seasoned with this refined salt." ”

It's no wonder that the refreshments at Dindude are so delicious and not at all as boring as those eaten for dinner.

It's just that what makes Emperor Qianwu angry is that Xiao Jiu, a bastard, obviously has such a high-quality refined salt, and he doesn't even give it to me, which is really angry.

He couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, since Baishi City has processed such high-grade refined salt, why did you give it to Your Majesty to know, this is a great political achievement, and it is also very good for the world." ”

Li Changfeng pursed his lips, this prince just deliberately did not give it to the cheap emperor's father, he knew very well the great role of such refined salt in this era, and even mastered refined salt, which was enough to become a rich and rival big salt merchant.

However, although you can make a lot of money by becoming a big salt merchant, you are destined to attract the attention of the world.

Li Changfeng just wants to live up in Baishi City, if the cheap emperor's father knows about it and directly transfers him back to Beijing, how can he still do it well?

Of course, I want to think so, but I can't say it clearly to Lao Li and Lao Gao, but habitually pull up the emperor's banner and say: "Lao Li, Lao Gao, it's not that this prince doesn't want to tell his father, but the time has not yet come." You don't know, although the refined salt has been successfully processed through the White Rock City Research Institute. But you must know that official salt is so difficult to manufacture, not to mention such a high-purity refined salt, which often needs to be processed through a total of 36 processes such as crushing, dissolving, filtration, and analysis, and the whole process takes 7749 days to be successfully processed. ”

"And even the scientific research institute has only just mastered this technology of making refined salt, and it still needs to be improved for a long time, so there is not much refined salt in the entire White Rock City at present. So when he went out this time, the prince only brought some with him. ”

"In addition, refined salt has been successfully processed, but the quantity is not large at present, and the technology has not yet been completely matured, and informing my father too early will only make my father happy and continue to wait for a while. It is better to wait until the technology is completely mature, process more refined salt, and then inform the father together, this is the best. ”

Flickers!

Flicker!

Anyway, it means that the refined salt processing technology is far from mature enough, and the refining time is very long, not to the point of telling Emperor Qianwu, and waiting for enough time to tell.

All in all, one word - drag!

"I see, it's the two subordinates who blame His Highness." Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali nodded, thinking about it, such a high-purity, fine-grained refined salt must require multiple complex processes and enough time to process it.

It's just that how did they know that it took Li Changfeng less than a day to process this refined salt.

For Li Changfeng, a modern person, processing refined salt couldn't be simpler.

It is impossible to say that there are more than 1,000 buckets of refined salt stored in the salt warehouse of Baishi City, and it is impossible to say that the people of Baishi City all use this refined salt for cooking.

After a pause, Li Changfeng added a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Lao Li, Lao Gao, don't tell your father in advance, otherwise don't blame this prince for releasing the video of you visiting the Qinglou." ”

Emperor Qianwu: "......"

Gao Dali: "......"

Threat!

The threat of the red fruit!

The two hurriedly nodded, reassuring Li Changfeng.

After a pause, Li Changfeng said: "But you two can rest assured, this prince will not treat you badly, although the refined salt processing technology is not yet completely mature, but Baishi City also produces and processes some, if you are willing, you can cooperate with this prince to do a refined salt business." ”

Emperor Qianwu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "How does Your Highness want to cooperate?" ”

"It's like a little royal tea." Li Changfeng said, "It is also one or two boxes of refined salt, the price is one hundred and sixty-eight taels, and the name of the prince has also been thought of, so it is called Xiaogong Salt." ”

It's not that Li Changfeng doesn't want to hide this refined salt, it's just that he knows that the refined salt will be exposed sooner or later.

In this case, it is better to make a lot of money before the refined salt is known by Emperor Qianwu.

Moreover, he intends to let the refined salt circulate in the market first, especially Lao Li and Lao Gao are all from Xiazhou, if the refined salt circulates in Xiazhou at the beginning, even if others investigate, the first investigation will be on the Xiazhou side, not the Huangzhou side.

This makes it easy to confuse the line of sight and not let people know that the source is from White Rock City.

Of course, when signing the contract, the relevant information that is not allowed to be told to the buyer will also be signed in the contract confidentiality agreement, and Li Changfeng still has the handle of the two of them, and the two of them dare not say it easily.

At that time, even if Emperor Qianwu knew about the existence of refined salt, Li Changfeng would tell Lao Li and Lao Gao about the technology of refining refined salt, and then let the two of them hand it over to Emperor Qianwu to obtain this great merit, and he would be able to continue to hide in Baishi City, and he would also be able to get the invitation of the two of them.

That's a lot to count!

Li Changfeng gave a thumbs up for his cleverness when he thought about it, you are really the smartest!

Hiss!

Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali gasped, although they had long known that Li Changfeng would definitely set a high price, but they didn't expect it to be one hundred and sixty-eight taels a box.

It's outrageous!

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, will this be too expensive?" ”

One hundred and sixty-eight taels of refined salt, how many people can afford to eat it?

"Expensive? No, no, no, it's not expensive at all. Li Changfeng said with a straight face, "Lao Li, your business acumen is really not good. You have to understand that this is much higher purity refined salt than official salt, and the price of official salt is very expensive. ”

"In addition, you must understand one thing, the princes and nobles may not spend twenty taels to buy a box of refined salt, but they will definitely spend one hundred and sixty-eight taels to buy a refined salt that even the emperor has not tasted. Because what is tasted is not refined salt, but a kind of forced show-off that even the emperor has not tasted, which can arouse the envy and jealousy of countless people, understand? ”

Emperor Qianwu felt that it was very reasonable, this kind of refined salt was more high-purity and fine than the official salt on the market, and once it was born, it would inevitably cause countless wealthy merchants and nobles to rush to buy it, even if the price was more expensive, it would definitely not be missed.

What's more, knowing that even the current emperor has not tasted this refined salt, it is even more crazy.

Who doesn't want to eat high-end food that even the emperor has not been able to eat.

This is the kind of psychology that people have.

Having said that, Emperor Qianwu secretly gritted his teeth and glared at Li Changfeng, in order to sell this refined salt, he actually did not hesitate to sell his father.

But now there is nothing to do about this bastard Jiuzi, Emperor Qianwu can only think of settling accounts together in the future, and said: "Then what is the propaganda slogan of this little tribute salt?" ”

Thinking of the propaganda slogan about Xiaoyucha, Emperor Qianwu is always shocked, which is really wonderful.

"Yes." Li Changfeng said mysteriously, "When you look back, you published a propaganda advertisement in the local newspaper, and the headline reads: "Shock! The current emperor has never tried ...... since he was a child! ”

Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali glanced at each other, their eyes showing shock.

But after thinking about it, this title alone is enough to make people reverie, and I can't help but want to read the content.

It is to pull up the banner of Emperor Qianwu again.

The corners of Emperor Qianwu's mouth twitched, and in the end he could only say: "Your Highness, the lower officials are willing to cooperate, but I don't know how many boxes of small tribute salt His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors have?" ”

Li Changfeng smiled and held up a finger.

"Ten boxes?" Emperor Qianwu hesitated.

Li Changfeng shook his head: "That's not right." ”

"One hundred boxes." Emperor Qianwu suddenly realized, but he was a little disappointed, a hundred boxes is not much, as long as there is a name that even the emperor has not tasted, it is very simple to sell.

"It's a thousand boxes!"

He wanted to say that there were a thousand buckets, but if there were so many, Xiao Gong Salt would not be able to cause that kind of rarity to be expensive, so he could only say that there were a thousand boxes.

A thousand boxes is said to be a lot less, and more is not too much.

"A thousand...... Box!? ”

Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali almost bit their tongues when they heard that there were so many boxes of refined salt.

Did you just say that the process is very troublesome, it takes seventy-seven and forty-nine days to refine, and there is only one point in the entire White Rock City?

These thousand boxes are 100 catties, and they only say a little?

Emperor Qianwu was angry and helpless, but he could only agree: "The deal, but Your Highness, you have to give some preferential treatment to the lower officials, otherwise the lower officials will not make any profit." ”

"Don't worry, this prince will count you as one hundred taels and one box, and you will still have a profit of sixty-eight taels and one box from selling." After negotiating a big business, Li Changfeng was in a much happier mood, but he was barbecuing right now, which was not very convenient, so he agreed to wait for the two of them to go to Baishi City in a few days to sign a contract and extract a thousand boxes of small tribute salt.
