Chapter 566 Chapter 566: Notes, let’s start a business (middle) [Seeking a monthly ticket]
The long wind howled in the wilderness.
All you can see are flat salt fields.
Longwu County is located in the northwest of the mainland, and it is clearly a borderland far away from the coast, but at this time there are strange waves of turbulent waves. The wind blows and the waves roll, and it seems like the sea is boiling. With Shen Tang as the center, a gust of salty seawater was blown up for no reason.
The hem of the clothes is flickering, and the hair is flying around.
Everyone held their breaths and looked up at the sky—the sky was still bright and sunny, but after a few breaths, it was covered by dark clouds, and the thick clouds were so close that they could be reached by stretching out their hands and stepping on their feet. The roar of the waves creates an almost illusion of knowing.
"coming!"
Everyone focused their attention, but in the blink of an eye, a huge wave with a height of several feet was pouring down from the sky with the strong wind.
It falls right into the salt pan.
At the same time, half of Shen Tang's body was splashed with sea water.
The seemingly menacing giant waves become docile as soon as they touch the ground, without any fierceness when they appear on the stage, obediently filling every salt field. All the excess is poured into the artificial pool dug by human violence along the dug ditches. She intends to control the output of literary energy, which is almost exhausting the reserves of Danfu. After all, Shen Tang is still the head of a county, so it is impossible to come here every day.
If the artificial pool is full, it will be enough for the salt field for a while.
Bend down and put a little bit of it in your mouth with your finger.
Taste the saltiness: "Ah, it's quite salty."
It is indeed sea water, and the taste is very authentic.
But, after all, it is transformed by literary spirit, whether it can last as long as the wine transformed by Shen Tang, she has no idea.
The specific situation has to be observed for another two days.
Shen Tang clapped his hands: "Let the salt workers do their work."
said again: "Let me slow down for a while and restore my style."
When excavating the Yantian District, Shen Tang did not forget to ask Chu Yao to post a notice to recruit enough common people to be salt workers. The work of salt workers is relatively less physically demanding, and ordinary people are fully capable of doing it. This would also increase employment opportunities.
The salt workers were on standby on one side.
Although they all knew that Ling Ling was amazing, they didn't have a chance to take a look. This time they saw Shen Jun call out the sea water with their own eyes. This kind of godly method that they had never seen before made them feel excited. Therefore, the work is also very vigorous, carrying a wooden rake to carefully rake the salt pan mud soaked in seawater. One is more agile than the other, invisibly comparing something.
Shen Tang wanted to sit down and take a rest.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, the Dan Mansion gradually filled up.
She stared at the expressions surrounding her speechlessly: "...you don't have to hurry...I can recover by myself..."
You can also take the opportunity to be lazy and fish.
"It is our responsibility to share the worries and relieve the labor of the superiors."
There are so many Wenxin scribes present, all of whom are of extraordinary strength. How can they let the lord recover his literary spirit?
Shen Tang: "..."
While muttering in her heart, she secretly wrote down these literary masters, and gave them more work later!
As soon as the thought fell, one thing was missing.
You don't need to look to know it's Gu Chi.
Shen Tang got up and patted the soil stuck to the hem of his clothes, and said, "If the salt workers can successfully produce brine, remember to report back as soon as possible."
"Whether we can get rich depends on it."
In terms of output and cost, Yantian is actually much lower than Yanjing, but Yantian has not yet been put into use, and it will not be able to exert its original advantages for a while. The former can be evaporated by the sun, while the latter needs to be boiled by fire, which wastes a lot of charcoal.
Previously, straw firewood was used for well salt, the cost remained high, and the output was relatively low. Naturally, Shen Tang would not do this kind of cost-increasing thing, so he turned his idea on natural gas, that is, "fire well". It is said that one cup of water can get five buckets of salt.
However, this method is relatively dangerous. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the salt well and the safety of the salt workers, it is necessary to have several warriors stationed for long-term inspections to nip the danger in the bud as much as possible. Yantian has no such worries.
Shen Tang: "By the way, is there a reply to the text note?"
Ning Yan withdrew her gaze from Yantian, and said, "Not yet, counting the distance, it will take three days at the earliest to get a reply."
Shen Tang rubbed his hands anxiously and nervously.
"How long is it? It's really hard to wait."
Ning Yan smiled and said, "There will be good results."
Based on her understanding of Xu Wenzhu, such a huge meatloaf fell from the sky, if he didn't reach out to catch it, he wouldn't be him.
Why did Xu Jie keep entangled with Wu Xian?
Because the pool salt under the latter’s name is hugely profitable.
For profit, for the sake of the family, Xu Jie has no reason to refuse to be loyal to Wu Xian, but - people's appetite will continue to increase. Everyone in the world says that merchants seek profit, but in fact, so do aristocratic families. Wu Xian's appetite at the moment exceeded Xu Jie's expectation.
The lord handed out this piece of meat pie at this time...
How does Xu Jie choose?
What about eating? Or eat? Or eat?
The facts are exactly as Ning Yan expected.
That day, the sky was blue.
Fugu City is as peaceful as ever.
Xie temporarily forgot his sorrows, holding a cup of tea, sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, flipping through the book of words and spirits that he had already mastered by heart. Just as he was brewing a little bit of sleepiness, he heard familiar footsteps approaching. He covered the book and put away the book.
"Another letter from home?"
"Wen Shi is getting clingier as he gets older..." Xu Jie seemed to be complaining about his cousin, but the corners of his mouth had already been raised slightly, "...Considering his age, he is also a man in his own right. Why is he still so unstable? I'm not afraid of Shen Junsheng Opinion…"
Attendant: "Not only the letters from Xiaolang's family, but also several letters from the Longwu County government office, which need to be read by the parents themselves."
From the Longwu County Government Office?
This is a very formal official negotiation.
Xu Jie was puzzled, but he opened the family letter of his long-winded cousin first. It was all nonsense without accident, and he could barely extract a core content - the wife of the Zhao family who ran away from home came to Longwu, and entrusted him to help bring a sentence of peace , don't read.
"Da Yi can rest assured this time."
As he spoke, he opened the letter with the seal of the governor of Longwu County, and the arc of the corner of his mouth gradually became stiff until it solidified.
The attendant was a little curious about the content, because he had followed his parents for so many years, and he had never seen his parents' eyes stare so wide!
Yo Ho—
Not only did his eyes widen, but his breathing also became short of breath.
Xu Jie stood up suddenly and crumpled the letter into a ball.
Looking around, the tone was stern: "You brought this letter all by yourself? Did someone else get it on the way?"
Attendant: "The subordinates are watching, no outsiders have contacted."
"That's good, that's good."
Xu Jie's face was flushed with emotion.
I don't know when I was still sweating.
The letter was just a general greeting at the beginning, and asked him if he could sell some silkworm seed leaves at a friendly price. Although the amount offered was large, there was no big profit for this stuff. If you count the cost of manual round-trip, it is estimated that you can still lose a lot of money.
What really excites Xu Jie is the back!
Salt!
Shen Jun has a low-cost way to refine refined salt. There is a huge profit gap between coarse salt and refined salt.
Several abandoned salt wells were found in Longwu County. Shen Jun wanted to restore them, so he asked the warriors under his tent to repair them, and dug deep wells by mistake. Not only is the brine rich, but also there is a fire well to support combustion, so there is no need for high-cost and low-efficiency straw charcoal fire.
It won't take long to produce a large amount of high-quality fine salt, and Shen Jun is worried about how to deal with it.
Then I wrote to ask him if he was interested.
Now she is entangled in the government affairs of Longwu County, and she is incapable of doing things, and there is no full-time staff in the account who can handle this thing. It is a pity that it is in her hands, and she can't finish it, and she is short of money. Simply for the sake of convenience, sell it at a friendly price, and let the profit be reduced by 40%!
Four percent!
This is 40%!
If those salt wells are really high-yield and low-cost, 40% of the profit would be a figure that would make everyone breathe faster. The point is, this profit can still be eaten without any additional expenses... It's hard for Xu Jie not to be tempted.
But he's sane.
Although the meatloaf is big, it is risky to eat.
The risk is not on Shen Tang's side, but on the side of the protagonist Wu Xian. For a moment, Xu Jie was caught in a dilemma.
Saying it is a dilemma, the balance in my heart has reached a conclusion.
The attendant cared about him: "Why are the parents in trouble?"
Xu Jie sighed: "Because of the Lord."
The attendant knows the temperament of parents best, knowing that the other party only needs one step now, so he pretends to be puzzled.
"But—the parents are loyal to Duke Zhaode, and they only have business contacts with Longwu Shenjun, why should they be embarrassed?"
Xie personally burned the letter from Longwu County.
murmured: "Yes."
Businessmen are profit-seeking, and there is a profitable business, why not do it?
I am not changing the door wall...
Xu Jie didn't want to change, but someone couldn't wait.
Even excited to chatter teeth.
"Shen, Mr. Shen... what do you mean... let the little one smuggle these salts... ah no, sell it to Shiwu?"
_
It can be said that the third trimester of pregnancy is hard...
It was really uncomfortable, and it took a lot of effort to turn around.
Pinch your fingers and count, it's going fast
