As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned.

They didn't understand the four terms crushing, dissolving, filtering, and parsing, but they understood what the 36 processes represented.

This shows that the manufacturing process of Xiaogong salt is extremely cumbersome and not easy.

And the time of 7749 days surprised them even more.

You must know that whether it is brine or seawater, in good weather conditions, a large amount of coarse salt can be made in the sun for two or three days, and it takes so long to make refined salt.

It can be seen that the cost of small tribute salt must be high and frightening.

Think about it this way...... It seems that it is reasonable for Xiaogong salt to sell at such a high price.

Just when everyone was thinking about this, the shopkeeper Hu continued: "I can tell you very responsibly that only a few hundred catties of coarse salt can be refined into one or two small tribute salts." Due to the complex and long production process, the yield of Xiaogong salt is very low, and the average daily production is at most ten catties! You might as well think about it in combination with the cost of input, can this refined salt be cheaper? ”

"And you can think about it, salt is an important material related to the national economy and people's livelihood, if Xiaogong salt is so easy to manufacture, how can Your Majesty not implement it nationwide? If Your Majesty didn't know that the cost of Xiaogong salt was very high, how could we dare to sell it at such a high price? Do you think His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors would be stupid enough to take such a big risk? ”

Speaking of which, no one at the scene doubted the authenticity of what the shopkeeper Hu said, and someone immediately said: "There is a reason for the price, give me a catty!" ”

However, the shopkeeper Hu shook his head: "I'm sorry, because the average output of refined salt is only ten catties per day, and the Diandude and Beer Barbecue City consume about six catties per day, and there are two catties to be supplied to the palace, so we only have a total of two catties to sell to the outside world every day, and Xiaogong salt is limited to one tael per person!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the man said, "Okay, one or two will be one or two, I will buy it!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out the silver and handed it over.

Just kidding, it only sells two catties a day, that is, twenty taels, and if you shoot slowly, it's gone!

Naturally, the others were not stupid, and hurriedly surrounded them.

"Bring me a bottle!"

"I want a bottle too!"

……

Soon, twenty bottles of Xiaogong salt were sold out.

In just a dozen breaths, Xiaogong salt was sold for three thousand three hundred and sixty taels!

In the private room on the second floor, Li Changfeng couldn't help but smile with joy.

In fact, the cost of these refined salts is very low.

Counting the raw materials of artificial equipment, 100 catties of refined salt does not even need the cost of one tael of silver, and the cost of each tael of refined salt is almost negligible.

As a supplier, when he talked to Emperor Qianwu about the small tribute salt business in Baishi City, he said that the price was one hundred taels of silver.

Although he is now in partnership with Emperor Qianwu, he only shares the profit of sixty-eight taels, and the so-called cost of one hundred taels will all go into his pocket.

For this alone, Li Changfeng had two thousand taels a day.

Then the profit for every tael of small tribute salt is sixty-eight taels, and he can also get six hundred and eighty taels when he shares it equally with Emperor Qianwu.

In this way, when every day is sold out, the income in one day is two thousand six hundred and eighty taels, and one month is eighty thousand and four hundred taels!

Such an income is terrifying!

Scarcity is expensive, Li Changfeng deliberately limited the supply, plus one or two small tribute salts are enough for a big family for a day, so small tribute salt is not worried about selling at all!

Such income is sustainable!

Unless someone can crack his method of making small tribute salt, but this is simply impossible.

Next.

Li Changfeng slept until he woke up naturally as usual.

It had been some time since he had been to the artillery battalion, and Li Changfeng decided to take a look.

After all, Emperor Qianwu attaches great importance to this matter, and if he does not go for a long time, he will inevitably be reprimanded.

Knowing that Li Changfeng was coming to the artillery battalion, Li Jianye, as the deputy battalion commander, immediately gathered all the soldiers and lined up in a neat queue to accept Li Changfeng's review.

Everyone looked at Li Changfeng with a fanatical look in their eyes.

The people who can be selected to be the Imperial Guards are the elite of the elite, and these people are the best beings selected from the Imperial Guards.

Such soldiers are proud in their hearts.

A few days ago, they all heard the news that the big cadres were going to send their relatives to discuss peace, and everyone felt very aggrieved in their hearts.

In the entire court, there was no one who strongly demanded a battle with the Southern Barbarians, which made them feel very disappointed!

They all want to fight to the death with the Southern Barbarians, and they don't want to suffer this humiliation, but this is not something they can decide.

Immediately afterwards, Li Changfeng's magnificent and fierce speech in the court and the latest decision of Emperor Qianwu reached their ears again.

The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.

Not with the pro!

No compensation!

Don't cut the ground!

Don't pay tribute!

Every word strongly stimulated their nerves, and everyone trembled with excitement.

In their eyes, Li Changfeng is the most backbone person in the entire Daqian, and there is no comparison between the eldest prince Li Chengye and the sixth prince Li Ji!

Even they think that even His Majesty today does not have the backbone of Li Changfeng!

In addition, artillery and other Zhenguo killing weapons were invented by Li Changfeng, so they all admired Li Changfeng extremely much, even to the point of fanaticism.

Li Changfeng could naturally read their eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Isn't this a cult of personality?

This kind of sign is unacceptable.

No way!

We have to keep messing around.

He didn't review the results of the people's training, and just told them to rest on the spot.

Even if the task of showing his face was completed, Li Changfeng was about to leave, and Li Jianye ran over with an excited face.

"Nine Emperor Brothers! I've heard what you said in court, and it's so inspiring! This is my backbone, my Li royal family! ”

This kind of thing Li Changfeng is not good at dampening Li Jianye's passion, and he doesn't want Daqian to be defeated by the barbarians, so he said with a dry smile: "Well, if you can inspire you, you also need such a backbone!" ”

Li Jianye showed an unprecedented solemn expression, nodded his head fiercely and said, "Nine Emperor Brothers, don't worry, I will train hard and live up to your expectations!" ”

As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers of the artillery battalion shouted along.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will not disappoint your expectations!"

"We must train hard and not fall into the prestige of my Great Emperor!"

"Damn the Southern Barbarians, we're going to beat them to make them cry and cry for their mother!"

"We want to become the most backbone army of the Great Cadres!"

Every soldier looked excited, almost screaming these words, and Li Changfeng was infected by their emotions, and he also became a little excited.

He raised his arms and shouted: "Don't get along!" No compensation! Don't cut the ground! Don't pay tribute! ”

Then everyone in the artillery battalion stiffened their necks and shouted hoarsely.

"Don't get along! No compensation! Don't cut the ground! Don't pay tribute! ”

"Don't get along! No compensation! Don't cut the ground! Don't pay tribute! ”

For a while, the momentum was shocking, and it even spread to the capital.

After shouting for a while, Li Jianye, who was excited, said: "How can you kill the Southern Barbarians without the brothers of my artillery battalion?" Brother Nine Emperors, please go and tell your father that our artillery battalion is willing to take the lead! ”

The soldiers who had seen the power of artillery were full of confidence, and as soon as Jianye's words fell, a group of people echoed them.

"Yes, Your Highness, we have artillery in hand, what is the mere southern barbarian? Kill as many as you want! ”

"We must participate in this battle, so that the Southern Barbarians will know the power of our Daqian artillery battalion!"

"As long as there is artillery, the enemy is a chicken!"

"I must play my majesty!"

Hearing what everyone said, Li Changfeng was a little helpless.

That's too inflated, isn't it?

The power of artillery is amazing, but how effective can it be in a battlefield where tens or millions of people collide?

We have to make them understand the situation.

Li Changfeng raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Almost instantly, everyone fell silent, staring at him with blazing eyes.

Li Changfeng directly scolded: "Childish! You think ten guns will decide the battle? Do you think ten artillery pieces can repel thousands of troops? Think about it with your brains, is this possible?! ”

After all, these soldiers were all elites in the army, and Li Changfeng's words suddenly made them calm again.

Truly.

With only ten pieces of artillery, it is indeed difficult to decide the outcome of the battle.

But they were still a little unconvinced.

Even if it can't decide the outcome of the war, it can still show the prestige of the big cadres, and there is no reason not to participate in the war.

Li Changfeng saw their thoughts, and patiently explained: "Do you know how difficult it is to make artillery? Do you know how much the Great Cadre has paid to cultivate you secretly? You are a killer existence, how can you easily show people? ”

"This prince knows that you want to make meritorious contributions and fight for my great work, but not at this time! When the number of artillery pieces reaches a hundred or even hundreds, a truly terrifying combat power will be formed, and then it will be time for you to fight the world with a bang! ”

"All you have to do now is train hard and hone your skills, you know?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then they expressed their positions one after another.

"Got it!"

"We're going to work hard!"

Seeing that his own work, Li Changfeng stayed for a while and then returned to the capital.

Early the next morning.

Li Changfeng received a secret report from Baishi City.

Waiting for him to look at the contents of the secret report, he pondered for a moment and gradually showed a look of surprise.

"Good opportunity! What a chance! ”

"Now you can justifiably go back to Baishi City, this ghost place in the capital has enough for this prince!"

After speaking, Li Changfeng hurriedly sent someone to prepare a carriage to the palace.

When he saw Emperor Qianwu, without waiting for Emperor Qianwu to speak, Li Changfeng said directly: "Father, there is something wrong in Baishi City, and my son has to go back!" ”

Emperor Qianwu, who was reviewing the chapters, put down his imperial pen, and asked with a sinking face, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Changfeng arched his hand and said: "Erchen received a secret report that there were barbarian spies in Baishi City, although he was caught, Erchen still didn't feel at ease, and he had to go back to deal with this matter in person!" ”

Hearing this reason, Emperor Qianwu's face became unsightly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said angrily: "You bastard who doesn't seek progress, don't you just want to go back to Baishi City to live your free life, when I don't know your thoughts?" I'm telling you, no way! ”
