chatted with Li Zhang for about an hour, and finally Li Zhang said that he would send 300,000 guan as quickly as possible, and the reason why he sent 300,000 guan was naturally because other people's gold members could still use 250,000 guan, and the extra 50,000 yuan was kept for backup.

Anyway, the requirement of the gold member is that the remaining 50% cannot be used, and the rest of Li Ke is not restricted.

This money is considered to have earned it by himself, but it is not enough, he is a little poor, and he will earn some more, if he can't do it, he will have to find a cheap dad and ask, what is still lacking in his Daming Palace, I have covered it!

Waiting for the next issue of Datang Weekly to issue a lot of plans can be launched, there are 2.5 million yuan for the time being, and Li Ke's own income has been more than 3 million yuan, which should be enough for the time being, hey, it's really difficult to make money, it's been almost three months, and it has earned one-third of Datang's annual income, and you have to open source and reduce expenditure!

"Go and invite Li Shiji." Li Ke thought about it and asked Tian Meng to invite Li Shiji over, and some tasks were about to be arranged.

Li Shiji was not slow to come, he was a little strange about what Li Ke asked him to do, but he still came as soon as possible, and Li Shiji changed into civilian clothes.

When he entered this reception room, the whole person was also stunned, good guy, this reception room looks more high-end than His Majesty's halls.

"General Lee, please be seated." After Li Ke greeted Li Shiji, he made a gesture of please, and a girl from a green building who acted as a temporary maid next to him brewed tea for the two of them, and then retreated to the distance.

"Your Highness invited me to come?" Li Shiji was a little puzzled.

"General Li, as the first gold member of Arima Mall, speaking of which, I want to thank you." Li Ke said what he had just said again.

"Your Highness is gracious." Li Shiji didn't explain, and some words were boring if they were explained.

"That's right, the benefits of being a gold member, in addition to having distinguished treatment in the mall, also have some special benefits, such as business. I invited General Li over this time because I wanted to do a business with General Li. Li Ke said with a smile.

Business? Li Shiji paused, there are also some shops in his house, but these shops are all run by his family, and on the whole, they are petty fights, otherwise it would not have hollowed out Li Shiji's family funds for 500,000 yuan.

There was a lot of money in it that was saved before the establishment of Datang.

"I don't know what business Your Highness is talking about?" Li Shiji is not hypocritical, a large family has to be fed, Li Shiji feels that it is naturally good to make money.

"The profit a year is not very high, about two or three million." Li Ke thought about it and said.

"Poof......" Li Shiji, who had just taken a sip of tea, directly squirted out the tea in his mouth, I, Li Shiji, started from Xu Shiji back then to today, counting the original family background, I have saved more than 500,000 yuan, and your profit of 3 million yuan a year, you tell me that this is not too high? !

That's profit! Do you know what two or three million guan can do? Datang used troops against Tuyuhun from last winter to this year, and so far it has spent less than two million!

It was with Li Jing as the commander, Li Daozong Hou Junji as the deputy commander, and under the jurisdiction of the Tang Army, the Eastern Turks, Tiele, and the Qibi led by He Li, Zhi Sili, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche, with a total of more than 100,000 people!

Li Shiji didn't know what to say for a while.

"To be precise, this business is done with you, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Daozong and others, and of course with my father." Li Ke also doesn't sell Guanzi.

"I don't know what His Highness said?" Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Daozong? This is the commander of Tuyuhun's army, what is this business?

"Salt." Li Ke spat out a word.

"Datang is actually not short of salt." Li Shiji hesitated and said.

That's right, Datang's salt is different from later generations, the current Datang's salt is not an official franchise, and Datang's salt is not the so-called profiteering. On the contrary, Datang's salt is currently very cheap, Datang's current salt is mainly composed of well salt and pool salt, and sea salt is only a supplement, and sea salt in this era is really not the main force.

Because the treatment of sea salt in this era could not be done to the point of later generations, and even the principle was not understood, so sea salt was bitter and salty, and it was not as delicious as well salt and pool salt.

The main source of salt for the Tang Dynasty came from the Hedong Salt Pond, which was later known as the "Dead Sea of China", located north of Zhongtiao Mountain. In fact, this salt pond lasted from the Yanhuang period to the Tang Dynasty, and was the main salt supply of all dynasties.

Taking the price of the origin of these salts as an example, the price of coarse salt is about the same as brown rice, it is really not expensive, 180 Wen a stone, 18 Wen a bucket of salt, that's right, it is 180 Wen a stone of salt, one stone is about 120 catties in later generations! Almost 1.5 wen per catty.

The quality of these salts is poor, there are many impurities, and they are eaten by the poorest ordinary people, and everyone in the Tang Dynasty can really afford to eat salt.

Even if it is a common people, who are doing a good job, they will buy better salt, and the price of this kind of salt is more expensive, about 5 wen a catty, and it is absolutely not related to profiteering.

After all, a pound of salt can be eaten by the people for a long time.

"This." Li Ke stretched out his hand, and the girl from the Qinglou next to him immediately took over the prepared plate of salt.

Li Ke directly put this plate of salt in front of Li Shiji.

Looking at the plate of salt in front of him, which was whiter than snowflakes, Li Shiji was stunned, he stretched out his hand and dipped a little into his mouth, there was no bitter taste, to be precise, he couldn't taste anything else, only the saltiness of the salt itself.

"This ......" Li Shiji was shocked, what kind of means can make salt so fine?

"You say, this kind of salt is sold at three times the price of Hedongchi salt, which is mainly supplied on the market, does anyone buy it?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

Li Shiji pondered for a while, Hedong Salt Pond mainly supplies Chang'an and other important areas of the Tang Dynasty, and the best salt, such as what Li Shiji's family eats, is about ten times the price of the most ordinary coarse salt, that is, 15 Wen a catty.

Ordinary people can't afford this salt, and the supply is also for some small households and magnates in the Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of this, Li Ke was simply distressed, people in this era don't understand the packaging, how can the salt that supplies the emperor and the five surnames and seven wangs be the same as the salt of ordinary small magnates?

You change to a good-looking packaging, the cost is a little more, and the price is not too much, right?

Hey, I'll give them the best glass bottle when the time comes! Give them customization! Is this salt? No, it's status! By the way, another royal version of the same model will be launched! Isn't this grading coming out?

This salt in Li Ke's hand is too good! This salt sells for 50 wen a catty, so don't buy too many people!

"I don't know...... How much does it cost? Li Shiji hesitated and asked.

Cost? Li Kele is happy, the cost of this thing, sorting out the salt drying technology, a batch of 100 tons is not much, right? There are only a few dozen workers who need it, and the workers are free, aren't those Tuyuhun people who are caught just right?
