Li Qingshan didn't know what Xiao Fan's confidence was.

But he understands that Xiao Fan is not a wild person, and his words are spectrum.

Since Xiao Fan said that it was hard enough, let's treat it as hard enough.

And Xiao Fan's confidence naturally comes from King Qi and His Majesty the Emperor!

When he asked those words from the stupid big man, Xiao Fan realized that the emperor was playing a big game of chess!

What Huai Wang Jin Wang is just a chess piece, if there is no accident, the final winner is likely to be King Qi.

Although Xiao Fan didn't understand why the emperor chose the king of Qi so early, the emperor must have his reasons for doing so.

Well.

"Brother, what business are you going to do?"

Li Qingshan said with a smile: "Is it to share the profits of the white sugar and soap business with Qingshan Yaxing?" ”

Xiao Fan shook his head.

"Doesn't that mean admitting that you and I are cooperating?" Xiao Fan glanced at him.

Li Qingshan laughed, of course he was joking.

"I don't like the word tooth shop, let's change it to Castle Peak Commercial Bank." Xiao Fan frowned.

"That's natural, the business of the tooth store has been divided, so it will definitely have to be renamed."

Li Qingshan said: "I can go to the Yamen to handle it, the previous channels of Qingshan Yaxing are still there, and the sale of anything can be unblocked in the sea." ”

This is the foundation accumulated by Li Qingshan after decades of business!

is also the reason why Feng Gui still doesn't want to touch him.

Many channels, if you change people, you will not be recognized.

Even if it is still Qingshan's tooth shop, if Li Qingshan is not presiding, many business channels will be cut off.

The business field is like this, many people recognize the front desk shopkeeper, but do not recognize the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper.

Xiao Fan nodded: "Later, you go back with me, I'll show you some samples, and you'll understand." ”

"Good!"

……

Xiao House.

The carriage returned.

"Brother."

Xiao Fan: "Drive the car in." ”

The carriage entered, Xiao Fan got out of the car, and Li Qingshan then walked out.

Directly in the South Courtyard.

The storehouse is here, the stables are here, and the carriages are parked here.

The South Courtyard is now the place where the Xiao Mansion stores its property.

The warehouse was opened by Zhang Zongbao, Xiao Fan took Li Qingshan, and the three of them walked in together.

Shut the door.

Xiao Fan pulled out something from the corner.

Zhang Zongbao also leaned over, very curious, he knew that Xiao Fan had hidden something, but he didn't know what it was.

Seeing Xiao Fan dragging a few boxes out, Zhang Zongbao asked, "Brother, what is a good thing?" ”

"Brother Xiao, open it and take a look?" Li Qingshan rubbed his hands, also very excited.

He knew that Xiao Fan wouldn't be joking, and if he could take out white sugar and soap, this thing wouldn't be bad.

Xiao Fan took out the key.

He locked all these boxes.

The first box was opened quickly.

"Paper?" Li Qingshan was surprised, and thought it was something good, but it was just paper.

Xiao Fan smiled: "You take a look again?" ”

Li Qingshan's eyes were sharp, and he also noticed something, took out one and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise:

"This paper material is different!"

"It's also smoother, and the paper is not rough at all, what kind of skill is this?"

Zhang Zongbao sighed: "Shopkeeper Li, it's just paper, no matter how good your skills are, you can't sell them for a high price." ”

"Who said that?"

Li Qingshan said: "The quality of this paper is far better than the paper on the market, and many tribute papers are not as good as ...... Is this your own craft, Brother Xiao? ”

Xiao Fan nodded.

He took out this, naturally, not jokingly.

The paper that is popular on the market today, Xiao Fan has investigated, and to be honest, it is very ordinary.

The papermaking technology is uneven, and the quality of the paper produced by a merchant is unstable.

And the cost of papermaking is relatively high.

There has not yet been a figure like Cai Lun in Xia Kingdom, although there is a paper-making method, it is still relatively early, and paper is slightly expensive.

Ordinary people can't afford to read, and the high cost of paper is also a reason.

Because paper is expensive, many books or documents are printed and written in ancient Chinese, which is very concise.

"This kind of rice paper is considered a high-end product, and it is best used for calligraphy and painting."

Xiao Fan said: "Don't look at this paper, it can't be sold for a pound or dozens of taels, but there are too many people who want to use paper...... Just like salt and iron, the field is big enough, and even if the profit is not so high, the final profit is very scary. ”

Zhang Zongbao couldn't understand this very well, but Xiao Fan believed that Li Qingshan would understand.

"What Brother Xiao said is very true!"

Li Qingshan said: "I know a paper merchant, his paper is used in the whole capital and even in major cities across the country, and millions of taels are said to be less every year!" ”

"Earn so much?" Zhang Zongbao glared and was pleasantly surprised.

Li Qingshan said: "However, it will take some time to compete for the market, but the quality of this paper is hard enough, and we can quickly seize the high-end market." ”

"Perhaps, this will become your second tribute, Brother Xiao."

What the emperor uses, it must be the best!

This means that as long as you make the best thing, it will definitely become a tribute.

"I thought that if it became a tribute, I would come up with a higher grade, and this market is enough for now."

Xiao Fan said: "I will hand over the papermaking method to you, and the raw materials and all the costs will belong to Tsingshan Commercial Bank." ”

"Don't worry, brother?" Li Qingshan didn't expect Xiao Fan to trust himself like this.

Suddenly, there was a feeling that the person who was a confidant died was moved.

Of course, just to be impressed.

"Brother?" Zhang Zongbao was a little worried, and his eyes hinted that he wanted to think more.

Xiao Fan signaled Zhang Zongbao to feel at ease, and said to Li Qingshan: "After you take all the costs, you will divide the remaining profits into two percent, and give two percent to Feng Gui." ”

"One accomplishment is enough, right?" Li Qingshan's heart has changed, and he doesn't want to think about Feng Gui at all.

"No, Feng Gui is not a fool, he can detect too little."

Xiao Fan said: "Next, it's the second one." ”

With that, the second box was revealed.

Reveal what's inside.

"What is this?"

Looking at the box with particles smaller than white sugar, Li Qingshan and Zhang Zongbao couldn't understand it.

"Salt," Xiao Fan said lightly, "refined salt." ”

Zhang Zongbao glared, and Li Qingshan took two steps back.

"No, no, no......"

Li Qingshan looked left and right, and said in a panic: "Brother, don't dare to joke!" ”

Qingshan Ya can sell people, but it will never dare to touch salt.

Illegal salt, once investigated, no one can keep it, and they will definitely be exiled or even beheaded.

Because the salt industry is one of the largest sources of tax revenue for the imperial court!

Except for the grain tax, the salt tax was the highest of all national taxes, and there was no one!

Xiao Fan's first business choice was white sugar, not fine salt, also because of his worries.

But that's no longer the case.

Xiao Fan smiled: "Brother, don't panic, Zongbao, brother, I'm not stupid enough to kill myself." ”

"Phew......" Li Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

In these years, selling smuggled salt is no less risky than drug trafficking.

Li Qingshan naturally didn't dare, and when he saw that Xiao Fan didn't mean this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what do you mean by taking out this thing?"

Xiao Fan said:

"Today's salt is not fine enough, there are too many impurities, and eating too much is not good for the human body."

"I have a way to refine it, not only is it purer, but it also looks better, like this fine sand."

"I'm going to do this business, but it's not about selling illicit salt, Brother Li...... As long as you get the approval of the imperial court, private individuals can also sell salt, right? ”

Li Qingshan said slowly: "Yes." ”

Zhang Zongbao bared his teeth, for fear that his brother would die, but now it seems to be fine.

Merchants are an indispensable part of the salt industry.

Merchants could pay a deposit to the imperial court, and then get a "salt guide", go to the salt producing area to wholesale salt, and then transport it to various places to sell.

Salt quotation is a certificate for selling salt, and with this thing, private merchants can also legally sell salt.

It's just that the tax is slightly higher.

For other commodities, the tax is generally 30 tax 1, and the salt tax is 15 tax 1.

Li Qingshan said: "Qingshan Yaxing, originally there was also a salt business, but the salt production area was controlled, and we couldn't get salt in the future." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Fan said: "We only need to wholesale coarse salt on the market, we don't need to go to the salt producing area to be clamped down, and we can even buy official salt from the government." With the government's salt introduction, you can refine it yourself and sell it, which is definitely a huge profit! ”

"Shhh

Li Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "There is a head!" ”

"Salt is not good, is it?" Zhang Zongbao said.

Xiao Fan looked at Li Qingshan, who waved his hand confidently:

"Others are not good, I have a way!"

Xiao Fan and Li Qingshan looked at each other, and the two said a name at the same time:

"Feng Gui!"

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Fan asked Li Qingshan to give him a substitute.

With Feng Gui as a tool, many vouchers can be easily obtained from the household department!

Salt is naturally available, and it is completely legal!

"Then let Feng Shilang do his best, don't just know how to collect money, it's time to do something." Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"I'll send a letter to Feng Shilang!" Li Qingshan was sure that Feng Gui would definitely help, because this person was very greedy!

Xiao Fan said:

"Having these two big businesses is also the best excuse for you to put aside the dental business, you can say to Feng Gui that you don't have enough energy and must focus on these two things."

Li Qingshan clapped his hands and applauded: "Brother Xiao is really smart, Feng Gui will never doubt it, and he will even be even happier!" Hey hey ......"
