Chapter 126: What a Wonder

"Uncle, everything you want is ready."

"Good!"

Lin Bai nodded.

Song Qianqian's eyes were full of puzzlement, because her husband asked Fu Bo for a lot of salt, as well as iron pots and the like, didn't he mean to make trouble for the Liu family, this is ......

Lin Bai smiled and didn't explain, but said, "You'll know in a while." ”

In fact, if he dared to say such a thing, he was naturally prepared.

Knowing who is secretly dealing with him, it is stupid to be unprepared at all, after learning about the Liu family, he specially investigated, the reason why the Liu family was able to become the richest man in Jinling was precisely because of salt.

Not bad! The Liu family is a big salt merchant.

Salt was definitely one of the most profitable trades in ancient times, and the fact that the Liu family was able to become the richest man in Jinling has shown this.

However, the salt of this era is still coarse salt, and the edible salt of ordinary people is yellow-brown, the taste is very astringent, and the key is poison, and long-term use has a great impact on the body.

Wealthy merchants could afford some relatively good salt.

But it's still rough.

After Lin Bai found out this, he thought about making salt, and this thing was not difficult.

Well! In the end, I gave up because I was lazy.

But now it's different, these guys are bullied to the end, and they can't bear it.

Coarse salt to fine salt is easy to say, but it is actually quite complicated, first dissolved, then precipitated, then filtered, and finally steamed......

Lin Bai's operation was as fierce as a tiger, and finally, snow-white fine salt appeared in his sight.

The little goblin's eyes were straight, and his mouth opened wide, "Husband, what is this?" ”

"Salt, of course, taste!"

Lin Bai said that he tried it himself, not bad! This is the real fine salt, what was the thing I ate before.

Song Qianqian also tried it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Song Fu looked at it from the side and was also excited, "This is really salt?" Such a fine salt slave has never been seen in his life. ”

The old butler looked excited.

Song Qianqian was the same, but she quickly immersed herself and asked, "Does the husband want to sell salt?" ”

"Clever!"

Lin Bai said confidently, "Do you think that if we launch such salt, will the Liu family panic?" Isn't it a big trouble for them? ”

"Stop!"

Song Qianqian replied, "If such salt is really introduced, the entire Liu family is afraid that it will be difficult to sleep and eat, but it is just ......."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the little goblin frowning, Lin Bai asked puzzled.

Song Qianqian asked, "Does the husband know the imperial court's policy towards the salt merchants......

Since ancient times, salt has been a strategic resource of the state, all of which are controlled by the imperial court, and it is absolutely forbidden for private individuals to sell salt.

However, Dali is okay, private salt is allowed, but the requirements for this are extremely high, and after approval, the salt road yamen will issue a permit, that is, salt introduction, to sell salt.

Otherwise, it is private salt, and if you catch it, you will be killed.

Lin Bai secretly pinched a cold sweat.

This Nima!

"Then we can't finish applying for salt introduction?"

Song Qianqian shook her head and said: "It's not that simple, there are strict restrictions on salt citation, there are only three in the entire Jinling, and only three are allowed, and there will be no further approval from above, countless dignitaries and nobles in Jinling City want to apply, but they all fail." ”

Lin Bai frowned: "So troublesome? ”

Song Qianqian nodded, "The strict control of the imperial court is one thing, and those who already have salt will try their best to prevent it, so it is impossible to apply for salt introduction, and the only way is to introduce it from the existing salt." ”

Lin Bai said: "What do you mean, do you want to buy it from others?" ”

Song Qianqian rolled her eyes.

All right!

Lin Bai also felt that he was an idiot for this question, since so many people wanted it, how could he easily buy it.

"It's cooperation!"

Song Qianqian continued: "Of the three existing salt citations, the first one is in the Liu family, let's not talk about this one, and the second one is in the Jiangnan Salt League. ”

"Jiangnan Salt Alliance?"

"Yes!"

Song Qianqian said, "This is jointly organized by the governor's yamen and the salt road yamen, which is official, and those who want to enter the salt merchant industry can apply to join and become a branch under their command." ”

"The advantage is that the approval is relatively simple, but the official commission is too large, the profit is very small, and the members are messy, all kinds of disputes, and the official will intentionally control the members to grow."

"My father tried it in his early years, but he gave up."

So complicated?

It seems that this is the official institution that makes extra money, allowing businessmen to help themselves make money.

To put it bluntly, this place is easy to enter, but it has no future.

"What about the third salt lead?"

Song Qianqian replied: "The third salt quote is in King Ning's mansion, if the husband really wants to enter this industry, then this salt quote is the last and only hope." ”

"Ning Wangfu?"

may know the loneliness of her husband, Song Qianqian explained: "King Ning is very important to His Majesty, it is said that the change of the noon gate of that year, His Majesty was able to successfully ascend the throne, King Ning made great contributions, and then King Ning injured his legs and feet on the battlefield, and his lower body was crippled, so he came to Jinling to recuperate." ”

"King Ning has always lived in a simple place, but he has a son, Zhu Kang, who is a famous gentleman in Jinling, and King Ning's mansion has almost been defeated by him."

"King Ning was furious and blocked his financial resources, but this guy went to the Queen Mother and His Majesty to complain, saying that King Ning detained him, he wanted to make money by himself, and asked His Majesty for salt."

@&%#&……

And this kind of operation? What a talent!

Lin Baile was happy and asked, "Your Majesty gave it?" ”

"Hmm!"

Song Qianqian nodded, "With King Ning's merits, a piece of salt is nothing, a matter of one sentence, and the only expectation of King Ning's cripplement is the son of King Ning." ”

"If you can really do business well, it will be enough to count King Ning's wish, so Your Majesty readily agreed."

"However, after this guy got the salt, he also fished for three days and dried his nets for two days, and when he had money, he squandered it, and he didn't have money to sell salt again."

Burst!!

Talent!

It's a real wonder.

However, it doesn't seem to be bad, I eat soft rice by myself, and it's half a catty.

"You mean, let me go to this guy and work with him?"

Lin Bai squinted slightly, a second ancestor and a soft rice eater, maybe it was quite compatible.

"No!"

However, unexpectedly, Song Qianqian shook her head, "There are many people who have the same idea as Fujun, but two of them were broken by King Ning, and the other was sent to the palace." ”

Yes?

What the hell is sent to the palace?

Lin Bai looked confused.

The little goblin covered his mouth and smiled, "I became a eunuch." ”

Lindbergh:......

He was sweating on his forehead, this Nima, and playing a ball ball, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Song Qianqian said: "Although the salt introduction is in Zhu Kangna, everything is still in King Ning's decision, so if the husband really wants to enter the salt merchant industry, the only way is to obtain King Ning's approval." ”

"Moreover, only with such a backer can it really be possible to compete with the Liu family, otherwise, even if we launch fine salt, they will use various methods to obstruct it, light and dark, black and white."

"Don't forget, behind them is the Lord and the faction."
