Chapter 59: Nangong Kun returns
The power of the will is gathering, and so is the danger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The field of info is a field that no one in this world has ever touched on, but the huge benefits contained in it can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Lu Dian sat in the study. Hua Yun asked to enter outside the study.
The door was lifted by Lu Dian, and Hua Yun walked in with a happy face.
"Master, the sea salt extraction has been successful!" Hua Yun was very excited, this one entry can solve the huge economic gap of Qianzhuang. Lu Dian is basically a shopkeeper now, and these things have fallen on Hua Yun. Hua Yun has been anxious about this huge gap, and now it finally has a result. He placed a large bag of coarse salt in the center of Lu Dian's study, hoping to get Lu Dian's next instructions.
Lu Dian was not too excited about what was expected. He raised his eyes and said, "Is Nangong Kun here?" A whole month has passed, and Nangong Kun still hasn't arrived. Lu Dian used anatomical diagrams and disinfection methods to deceive Bai Rong away, but Nangong Kun's dishonesty was something he didn't expect.
"He hasn't come yet. Master, now we have more than 70,000 gold coins, 380,000 silver coins, and 920,000 copper coins in our treasury. The fixed-point bill of exchange transactions to Jiankang has exceeded three times this figure, and if this continues, our treasury in Nanqingzhou will be directly liquidated, I think it is not to temporarily stop the mint, and digest the cash first. Nangong Kun reported the recent Zhang Mu to Lu Dian, hoping that Lu Dian could make suggestions on the current situation, after all, the huge economic pressure made it a little difficult for Hua Yun to manipulate now.
"Your sister is now in charge of the mint in Jiankang, which is more than ten times the size of this side, do you know how she consumes coins?" Lu Dian asked.
"She exchanged money for copper, which is similar to our method, but the scale of Jiankang is huge, and Nanqingzhou has experienced more than ten years of war and serious depression. So, our side may not be able to handle that much money flow. ”
"She's not simply exchanging money for copper, she's buying and selling. Lu Dian said lightly.
"What's the difference?"
"It's not a good thing that we have too many coins in our vault, and they have to be spent as soon as possible. ”
"Flowers out?" Hua Yun was stunned for a moment. It took him a lot of effort to maintain the existing currency to a level of equilibrium, but the master let him spend it! Once all these coins left the pawnshop and flowed to the people, what if someone came to withdraw the money? Although he had doubts, according to Hua Yun's character, he did not question Lu Dian.
"Yes, I've taught you enough about it. Now I'm just going to ask for it, and I'll teach you how to make it happen. Now, I want you to open a pawnshop in every county of Nanqingzhou within a month, and at the same time, the existing gold coins cannot exceed 10,000, silver coins cannot exceed 100,000, and copper coins cannot exceed 300,000, which is the highest indicator in Nanqingzhou, and the index in all the counties of Nanqingzhou cannot exceed half of the index. Lu Dian looked at Hua Yun. Whether this apprentice who has no opinion can get through this level depends on himself.
Hua Yun wanted to say something, but seeing that Lu Dian ignored him, he didn't want to say anything and turned away.
Hua Yun just walked on the front foot. Luo Kai came to report that Nangong Kun was back. The big stone in Lu Dian's heart suddenly fell to the ground. When he stepped out of the study, he saw Nangong Kun rushing towards him despite the samurai's obstruction. At this time, Nangong Kun's whole head was full of messy hair, as if he was crazy, holding a large pile of manuscript paper in his hand, and his eyes were full of tiredness. Lu Dian let him into the study, waved his hand and motioned for Luo Kai to get some hot water. Luo Kaihui retreated.
In the study, Lu Dian stood outside the bookcase, and Nangong Kun stood inside the bookcase. The two have lost their places. Lu Dian looked at Nangong Kun, who was full of anxiety, and said, "Brother Nangong, what's the matter with you?"
Nangong Kun suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "Okay, you Lu Dian, you actually lied to me." This method of extraction requires different solvents everywhere, and you have such a ghostly thing, how do I know where to find such a strange substance. ”
"Solvents", "substances". Lu Dian didn't expect Nangong Kun to accept the baptism of science so quickly. "I don't know how to find these solvents, so we can work together, at least now the purification of alcohol is not a problem," he said. You've come to me and you're determined to accept my terms?"
Nangong Kun pouted and said, "I don't have anywhere to go anyway now, and it's not as easy as I imagined to do alchemy, so it's not a compromise to defect to you." ”
Lu Dian smiled and said, "It's just right, I have a matter now, let's study and study it together?"
Nangong Kun frowned: "Wait, wash your face first." I've been studying the booklet you gave me in the cave for the past month, and I've read every word carefully, but it's hard to understand what you've written. ”
"If you want to understand everything I write, you'll probably have to stay with me for at least ten years. Lu Dian was not joking. The theories of completely different worlds, completely different things, language, culture, and understanding are completely inconsistent, and it may take ten years for Nangong Kun to learn these things.
Nangong Kun smiled: "You just want to keep me burning firewood, to be honest, your trick is not clever, it's just that I'm easier to deceive." ”
"Forget it, I'm not poor with you. If you look at what's on the table, you can try the poison in it. Lu Dian pointed to the sea salt on the table.
Nangong Kun opened the baggage, and the pieces of salt made him frown slightly: "Lu Dian, why do you always let me see these irrelevant things." Isn't this a lump of salt? Your salt seller doesn't know this thing yet?"
"This is sea salt, I heard that it is poisonous, I want to ask you to help analyze it. Lu Dian said.
"I've heard of this, but this sea water is choppy for thousands of miles, who can detoxify it? Your salt is naturally poisonous from sea water, as for what kind of poison ......" Nangong Kun picked up a piece and rubbed it in his hand for a while, and then said: "This is not what I am good at. There is no spiritual reaction in this, maybe it is just an ordinary poison. ”
"Just find a few rabbits to try. Lu Dian suggested.
Nangong Kun nodded. He wanted to find a few medicine slaves to try. Since Lu Dian said rabbits, let's be rabbits. It's better to kill people casually than you can do.
When Luo Kai brought the washing water, Lu Dian instructed him to buy a few rabbits. Luo Kai thought that Lu Dian wanted to eat rabbit meat and went happily. After a short time, the skinned rabbit was bought back for Lu Dian, and Lu Dian was almost angry to death. Luo Kai was taught a good lesson by Lu Dian, and after a short time, Luo Kai bought a few live rabbits for Lu Dian and came back, and the rabbit cage was kept as if they were in captivity. Lu Dian looked at Nangong Kun and said, "Come on, let's see what the effect of the poison in this sea salt is?"
