When Du Fugong spoke, his expression was serious. Chu Huan knew that the matter was important, and asked, "Mr. Du, please tell me!"

Du Fugong hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "My lord, if there are no accidents, there should be no problem with the salt production. The factory will start immediately with the order of your lord. Your lord has already told me the method of making salt. Let's make it. It's not very difficult, the tools here are all ready, and there are a lot of people, and it can produce hundreds of catties of salt every day, which is really easy."

Chu Huan nodded and said: "I firmly believe in this point. As long as you do your best, it is really easy to do a few hundred catties of salt a day."

"There is no problem with the supply of goods, but the market?" Du Fu stroked his beard gently, "My lord is wise and pioneering, and the salt production in the Northwest is firstly to solve the problem of salt shortage, and secondly, it is also to increase local fiscal revenue. In fact, in our country It seems that solving the financial problem is even more urgent than the salt shortage.”

"Director Du continued."

"If there is no financial income, it means that if you go to battle and kill the enemy without weapons, you will be unable to do whatever you want. Once this happens, the local government's control over the place will be greatly weakened. This Xiguan is full of thieves and bandits. If the local government does not have the ability to control it, there will be chaos." Du Fu said slowly: "So when new salt is produced, it must be sold as soon as possible to increase local fiscal revenue."

Chu Huan said solemnly: "What Director Du said is very true. No matter what you do, you can't do without money. This government is just like people. A penny is hard for a hero. The same is true for this government. It's hard for a clever woman to cook for rice. After a pause, he said with a smile: "But Director Du, don't worry. Just the day before yesterday, the old man of the Su family made a special trip to the Governor's Mansion to talk to me about the salt shop. In Shuoquan City, four shops have been vacated. , as a salt store. In addition, earlier, people have been sent to the northwest states to set up salt stores. As soon as the new salt here comes out, it can be shipped to salt stores in various places. The quantity and price of the goods are directly determined by you. The Salt Bureau is in charge of management.”

"It's a matter of course to unify the price and control the quantity." Du Fugong nodded and said: "I'm just worried...!" After thinking for a while, he finally said: "I'm just worried that the seven surnames of Xiguan will intervene in the sales of new salt , if it takes a long time, the new salt market is likely to be gradually controlled by the Xiguan gentry. Although the local government has always been inseparable from the local gentry, they must never let the local gentry forces lead them by the nose. I shouldn't have said that, but...!"

"The general manager has good intentions, I know it very well." Chu Huan sighed: "Actually, I also understand that the government should set up an official business by itself, but the general manager also knows that even if we use our own people to set up an official business now, there is no need to pay for it." What is the role? The seven surnames in Xiguan are deeply rooted in Xiguan. The most important thing is that each of them is in business and has sales contacts all over the country. Now we don’t borrow their contacts, so what can we do?” Shaking his head and smiling bitterly: “If we don’t use them If we don’t have contacts, we will set up government agencies and merchants, and we will need a lot of money to set up salt shops everywhere. Even if we really distribute our salt shops all over the place, if we don’t have contacts, even if the business in Shuoquan is good. , but in other places, it may not be suppressed. It is very likely that we have salt in our hands at that time, but we can sell it everywhere... I also know that if the Xiguan gentry get involved in new salt, they will always get some benefits, but we Giving them benefits now is also to be able to establish a new salt market, and we need to use their connections...!" [

Du Fu heard the words, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Your Excellency has already thought of this point, so I can rest assured. Actually... I just said these words to ask for some power from Your Excellency."

"that power?"

Du Fu justly said: "Du knows that Miss Linlang and Your Excellency have made a lifelong agreement, in other words, the Su family is already a relative of Your Excellency, and the seven surnames of Xiguan are all related by marriage. So...!" After a pause, he still cut to the chase and said, "So Du is worried that in the future, my lord will take into account Miss Linlang's face and turn a blind eye to the seven surnames of Xiguan, and since my lord handed over the new salt bureau For Du, Du will try his best to do his best, but if there is something that violates the new Salt Bureau regulations, Du will inevitably strictly control it...!"

Chu Huan understood, held Du Fugong's arm and said, "The manager is worried that I will take sides?"

"To be honest, my lord, Du is not worried that you will favor them. Your lord is a wise and shrewd person. You know which is more important. You know in your heart. Du is just worried that your heart will soften...!" Du Fugong sighed: "Xin Yan If the bureau does not have the support of adults, it will inevitably cause a lot of troubles in the future!"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "Boss Du said these words, it is really treating each other with sincerity, so I might as well say it bluntly, in fact, I didn't want to say these things, but I still told the boss today. Not shying away from Sun Zikong and Qi Hong being by his side, he said, "The manager knows why I handed over the sales rights of the new salt to the Su family?"

Du Fu frowned slightly, and said: "In fact, Du has thought about it, but he doesn't understand it deeply."

"Actually, I've been waiting for someone." Chu Huan sighed.

Mr. Du Fu thought for a moment, raised his brows, and said, "Du understands, are you waiting for Miss Linlang?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "The one who knows me is Manager Du!"

"So that's how it is." Du Fugong suddenly realized, "Could it be...that the Lord gave the Su family the right to manage new salt for the sake of Miss Linlang?"

"Lin Lang was originally a businessman. She is shrewd and capable. She has been in the business world for many years and is very familiar with business." Chu Huan explained: "Director Du doesn't know something. I had a private discussion with Mrs. Su. The power is temporarily handed over to the Su family, but when Lin Lang arrives, the power of the officials and businessmen will need to be handed over to Lin Lang, who will be in charge of the affairs of the officials and businessmen."

Duke Fu nodded and said, "That's very good. Of course Mrs. Su has no objection?"

"Of course there is no objection. He also understands this very well. After all, government-run merchants are government-run. They are local gentry and belong to civilian merchants. Official merchants have the power of official merchants and restrictions on official merchants, just like the goods, prices and locations sold by official merchants. , It is all decided by the government, and although the private businessmen do not have the power of the government and businessmen, they can trade on their own. If it is said that the Su family's government, businessmen, and private businessmen can enjoy all the rights together, it is really unreasonable, unless the Su family is willing to throw Get rid of the hat of the civil and commercial business, all the business in the future will be "intervened" by the government, and they can't control their own business, which is of course unacceptable to the Su family." Chu Huan smiled and said: "So even this time I will The power of government and business is handed over to the Su family, but the banner is not the Su family, but the old man Su carefully selected a person with a foreign surname to appear on the stage. The Su family and the seven surnames of Xiguan are in the Behind the scenes."

Du Fugong clapped his hands and laughed: "So as soon as Miss Linlang arrives, the Su family will hand over the power to Miss Linlang, and the control behind the scenes will be in Miss Linlang's hands." [

"Linlang is a member of the Su family after all. The power of the Su family should be handed over to the family." Chu Huan said with a smile: "But after Linlang passes through the door, he is mine. There is no need to deal with the Su family."

Du Fugong laughed and said, "Okay, although Du has never met that girl Linlang, the one who can attract the Governor's attention is naturally not an ordinary girl, but must be a good wife."

Chu Huan raised his head, looked at the clear sky, and frowned slightly, "According to the time, Lin Lang should have arrived at Xiguan long ago, but Su Bo and the others have been here for more than a month, but Lin Lang still hasn't come. Could something have happened?"

"Your Excellency, don't worry, auspicious people have their own celestial features." Du Fugong comforted: "What's more, Chu Shuang has already entered the pass to pick him up, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"I hope so." Chu Huan nodded.

"After the start of work, do you make salt day and night?" Du Fugong asked.

Chu Huan said: "That's right. There is a shortage of goods. There is no need to control the quantity at the moment. The more the better. Although the imperial court's new salt entry rights have not yet come, the northwest market alone is already very large, and there is no need to worry about no sales."

"Then according to the adults' instructions, Du will arrange two teams to rotate day and night to speed up the salt production."

"Mr. Du, there is no problem with the factory. How about the ore here?" Chu Huan asked: "Master Su suggested to build the first salt field in Xixia Mountain. After the construction started, I have been working hard on you, but I have no time to come here. , but I don’t know if the salt mine in Xixia Mountain is of good quality?”

Du Fugong smiled and said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, this Xixia Mountain is really a place of geomantic omen, there are a lot of salt mines, when I built the factory, I already asked people to look for salt mines on the mountain, and now I have found more than ten salt mines. , has a lot of cold stones...!" He raised his finger to the north, "The largest salt mine discovered for the time being is right there, and part of it has been excavated. The quality of the cold stone is excellent, why don't you go and have a look!"

Sun Tzukong led the way, and the group followed the wide road built to the foot of the mountain in the north. The mountain was covered with green trees, but there was a mountain wall at the foot of the mountain. There was a gap between the mountain wall, which was a narrow gap. At the entrance of the gap, there can only be two or three people side by side at most. Du Fugong has already introduced: "My lord, this is a natural cave. The entrance is narrow, but the inside is much more spacious. Let's take a look first." The torches were lit, two torches were lit, Sun Zikong and Qi Hong each took one, one in front and one behind, Sun Zikong was still leading the way, Qi Hong was behind the palace, and Chu Huan followed Sun Zikong into the cave, It was very narrow at first, but after walking a long way, it opened up and heard the sound of water droplets. Chu Huan saw many pools in the cave by the light of the fire. A lot lower, very cool.

"Look, my lord...!" Du Fugong pointed to the mountain walls on both sides. There are already traces of cutting with knives and axes in many places. "These places have been inspected, and there are a lot of cold stones inside...!"

Chu Huan smiled and nodded. This cave is quite a long way. After walking for a long time, the road ahead was blocked. Then everyone stopped and saw some cold stones piled up beside the stone wall in front. Chu Huan stepped forward, picked up a few cold stones, carefully After looking at it, the land was really not bad, and I was satisfied. Suddenly, I saw a small stall of white stones not far away. After walking over, Sun Zikong said, "Master, that's not a cold stone. We have all seen it when it is dug out, it is different from the cold stone."

Chu Huan had squatted down at this time, picked up a small piece, and Du Fugong followed beside him, explaining: "My lord, this stone is also turning white. At first I thought it was a cold stone, but after digging, I realized that it was not at all. There are many stones on the mountain, and there are all kinds of ores. It is inevitable that people will be misunderstood. I have specially arranged for a few people to inspect the cold stones that are transported to the factory in the future, so as not to make mistakes and use other stones to make them. Salt……!"

Chu Huan didn't seem to hear it. He frowned and looked at the stone in his hand carefully. Seeing that Chu Huan was very serious, they looked at each other, wondering why Chu Huan was so interested in these waste rocks.

After a long time, Chu Huan raised his head and looked at Du Fugong, but his eyes showed unconcealable joy, "This is quartz sand...!"
