Chapter 146: Why don't you encourage my father to build more palaces
Qinghai that place, the sunshine time is not worse than the seaside, the hottest time of modern salt, basically four or five days can come out, Qinghai there, count more, count ten days!
According to 100 tons in ten days, the most basic selling price in a year is 360,000 yuan.
Don't ask if 300 tons can be sold out in a month, this bit of salt can be consumed without Chang'an, according to the Tang Dynasty's "Zhenguan Order and Warehouse Order": Ding Nan is one person, two liters of rice a day, and two spoonfuls of salt and five pinch...... Little men and women are under the age of six, with six meters and five pinches of salt.
The spoon is the volume unit of Datang, which is 1% liter, so the current per capita salt consumption of Datang is about 15 grams a day. In particular, strong laborers need salt, and table salt may be even more.
300 tons a month is only less than the consumption of 700,000 people a month, the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and the entire Hexi Corridor are not enough.
Then these salts are packaged and sold separately, and finally after the scale is expanded, two or three million yuan a year is nothing at all.
"All I can say is that you can see it all as profit." Li Ke said lightly.
"Huh?!" Li Shiji was confused, is there any cost?
"Do you know where this salt I'm talking about?" Li Ke asked lightly.
"I don't know."
"Red Sea!" Li Ke spit out two words in his mouth.
"Huh", Li Shiji stood up directly from his position, he looked at Li Ke with wide eyes, Chihai is located in the territory of Tuyuhun, not far from the Tuyuhun Royal Court, His Royal Highness...... Is that counted?
The Chihai Sea in Li Ke's mouth is naturally the Chaka Salt Lake in later generations, located less than 100 miles away from the southwest of Qinghai Lake, if nothing else, at the end of April, Hou Junji will win a battle in the Chaka Salt Lake, completely laying the tone for the elimination of Tuyuhun.
Originally, after the Tang Dynasty took Tuyuhun, Murong Fuyun was killed, but his son surrendered and later returned to the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun naturally came under the leadership of Murong Fuyun's son, and the so-called surrender of these nomads is understood by later generations.
Is it because Datang doesn't want to control it directly? No, it's out of control! The garrison is too expensive! The consumption of tens of thousands of soldiers stationed all year round was a huge expense for the Tang Dynasty.
But now, if Li Ke can rely on Chihai to not only be able to garrison tens of thousands of elite troops of the Tang Dynasty every year without additional consumption, but also bring huge profits to the imperial court.
Excuse me...... Is there still a need for Tuyuhun to exist?!
And controlling there is too much help to Datang!
Li Shiji is not a brainless general, Li Shiji can figure out these things immediately.
"This ...... Your Highness, it's not you and I who have the final say. Li Shiji said in shock.
"Of course I know, so I told you, you pay 200,000 and give you 20% of the shares." Li Ke said lightly.
"Isn't it too much?" Li Shiji opened his mouth, and said less in a year, let alone one million, it is 500,000 yuan, and the second achievement is 100,000, which is pure profit. After two years of return to capital, the rest is a net profit business...... Speaking of which, I don't know how many people outside are willing to follow Li Ke!
"Not much, I said that two achievements are two percent." Li Ke smiled and said, "I'll go back and talk to my father about this, you just need to collect the money with peace of mind, and then you need to arrange a person, preferably your son, not the eldest son to be in charge of this matter." ”
"I understand." Li Shiji took a deep breath, he didn't expect that he was just doing it casually, and he was actually made such a big profit by Li Ke, and this is not a short-term profit, this is a long-term profit that is far from continuous!
"Okay, General Li can go back and prepare, and I will have someone inform General Li when the time comes, and this matter will be kept secret for the time being." Li Ke smiled and said, "I'll go to the palace in a while." ”
"The minister has taken his leave." Li Shiji turned around and left.
Li Ke smiled slightly, if Tuyuhun can garrison tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it means that the Anxi Protectorate will be able to control a wider range at that time! You must know that in the Tang Dynasty in history, the control of the Anxi Protectorate was almost close to the Persian Gulf.
That piece also represents a huge profit, and there are a lot of treasures.
In particular, there are a lot of gold reserves.
Forget it, it looks like I have to talk to Cheap Daddy about this matter in the afternoon, first, let's talk about this matter, and secondly, ask Cheap Daddy what his Daming Palace still lacks, and I can provide it to him for free!
When Li Shiji left Youjian Mall, his spirit was still a little dazed, he looked back at the back, is this His Royal Highness the King of Shu who single-handedly overthrew all the courtiers and the family? The strategic vision is far away, no one can match!
The Tang Dynasty can subdue many small countries around it, but it can't completely control them, so they can only be subordinated, but just like the previous vassal states, there is really the possibility of rebellion at any time.
And such a stationing ...... But it's a different story! These are two concepts!
Controlling Tuyuhun means that Datang has a large area of grassland, and Li Shiji, a high-quality grassland near Qinghai Lake, knows that it can provide Datang with a large number of war horses every year!
Li Shiji left, Li Ke thought about it, he didn't rush to greet others for the time being, he had to eat one bite at a time, set a few examples, and then his other industries could be put together.
Hey, it's really tiring to make money, and his mouth is dry, Li Ke took a sip of tea, and then said to the Qinglou woman who was just waiting for him: "Xiaowan bring me a blanket, I'll sleep, you call me in an hour, I'm tired of earning this money." ”
Xiaowan: "......"
Li Ke turned over directly and lay on the sofa and began to sleep, Xiao Wan quietly retreated to find a blanket, it is not easy for His Highness to make money to feed them, hey, I just don't know if His Highness needs to warm the bed.
By the time she took the blanket back, Li Ke was already asleep, Xiao Wan did not leave, but moved a chair to guard outside the door, for fear that someone would wake up His Highness by too loud.
An hour later, Li Ke was woken up by Xiao Wan, who had eaten in a restaurant before going out to enter the palace.
"Your Highness, are you going to the palace again? You won't be beaten this time, will you? Yang Anning was a little worried.
"It's okay, I'll spend money this time." Li Ke waved his hand.
"Huh?" Yang Anning was a little dazed, going to the palace to spend money? Where is there a place to spend money in the palace?
"Although I make a lot of money, I spend more money, so we need to save money! I went to the palace to open the source, and I will spend two million yuan first. Li Ke waved his hand, leaving a sentence and flashing, leaving Yang Anning with a confused face.
Is that what it means? How...... What I learned seems to be different from what you learned, Your Highness? Am I wrong? Yang Anning pondered for a long time, she decided to go back and flip through the book, and ask a few more bachelors to see if this is what it means.
