Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 44 Chemistry and Physics in High School
"Then, just sit back and wait for the money."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

There is a little imbalance in my heart.

The right to operate salt and iron is not as simple as the right to operate.

Although salt and iron are controlled by the imperial court and the family, they are nominally monopolized by the imperial court.

To obtain the right to operate salt and iron from the imperial court, in addition to paying huge taxes, they have to give [-]% of the profits to the imperial court.

Fang Yuan is not happy to pay taxes and another [-]% to the imperial court, but this is a problem of the times, so he can only go with the flow.

"You mean you can make a lot of money with salt?"

"Fang Zhouzun, there are many salt sellers in the world, but there is no one who can make the court wait for the rich."

Li Shimin mocked.

Salt is a very important tax.

But salt is not only controlled by the court, but also by the aristocratic family.

Because everyone sells, it is impossible to make a lot of money by selling salt.

Unless ordinary people buy your salt, you can really make a huge amount of money.

Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng also didn't understand, they also looked at Fang Yuan and wanted to hear Fang Yuan's explanation.

However.
"Boss Li, this is not something you need to worry about."

Fang Yuan shook his head and stopped answering.

He was the one who answered the other party for half a day, and he got tired of it.

And just a businessman, don't need to know that much.

Li Shimin snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't want to ask Fang Yuan any more, he turned his head and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

But suddenly, a thought popped up in his heart: Could it be that Fang Yuan pushed out special salt?

Based on what I saw in Wuling County, Fang Yuan can make ice with saltpeter, and can also make things like mattresses and tea, and also produce special salt, so it's no problem, right?
"Fang Zhouzun, do you have a special salt?"

Li Shimin suppressed his excitement and asked.

"Ah."

Fang Yuan hummed casually.

"What salt!?"

Li Shimin was even more excited.

Based on his understanding of Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan's salt must be very special.

Even if there are a lot of salt sellers now, once Fang Yuan launches it, it will definitely occupy most of the market.

Salt is a necessity. If you can occupy more than half of the market, you are really waiting for the rich, the real rich.

"Business secrets, no comment."

Fang Yuan shook his head, not intending to tell.

Fine salt, such as salt, does not exist in this era.

Once the fine salt is rolled out, the coarse salt will slowly be replaced.

"Don't, Fang Zhouzun, tell me."

Li Shimin asked.

The appetite has been lifted, how can there be no comment?

Now that the imperial court is attacking Eastern Turks, what they lack most is money and food.

If it can be confirmed that Fang Yuan's sale of salt will bring back huge benefits, the attack on Eastern Turks can begin.

This is not only about salt, but also about the war between the two countries, and about the peace of the people in the world.

Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng were already shocked, they did not expect His Majesty Tangtang to ask Fang Yuan like this.

Fang Yuan still shook his head.

Slowly sip the tea in the cup.

"Fang Zhouzun, you sell salt, you must need the help of the Royal Trading Company, right?"

Li Shimin was in a hurry for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

Fang Yuan asked Du Miaoyan to apply for the right to operate salt and iron, probably because he wanted the Royal Trading Company to help sell it.

And Fang Yuan can only choose the royal firm to help sell, because it represents the royal family and can ensure safety.

After all, Fang Yuan is just an assassin, it is hard to say whether he can guarantee safe trading in the state under his jurisdiction.

If you want to sell nationwide, you must have a strong team, and the Royal Firm is undoubtedly the most suitable partner for cooperation.

"good."

Fang Yuan nodded indistinctly.

The interests involved in fine salt are too great for ordinary people to protect.

Otherwise, when he was in Wuling County, Fang Yuan had already started making fine salt for sale.

"According to the contract, you want to give [-]% of the profit to the Royal Firm, right?"

Li Shimin felt that he had guessed right, so he continued to ask.

Fang Yuan nodded again.

According to the contract, the major commercial firms need to contribute [-]% of the profits to Fang Yuan for the things they independently operate in Liaozhou.

And if Fang Yuan launches products and sell them all over the world, Fang Yuan only needs to give them [-]% of the profits, and the manpower and material resources are not counted on Fang Yuan.

"So in this calculation, you need to give [-]% of the profit to the imperial court, and [-]% to the royal firm, for a total of [-]% of the profit!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Fang Yuan pursed his lips, but did not answer.

This is where it's pretty fucked up, and where there's no way around it.

Some things cannot be manipulated by individuals, and they can only cooperate with each other to give part of the profits.

"Fang Zhouzun, what do you think?"

"You tell me how the special salt is made, and the manufacture and sale are all in charge of the royal firm. You get [-]% of the profit, how about it?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

He doesn't mind [-]% profit and [-]% profit.

What he wants to know more is how Fang Yuan's salt is made.

If you can really sit back and wait to get rich, then promoting the world will be infinitely profitable.

"really?!"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, interested.

There is a big difference between [-]% profit and [-]% profit.

Moreover, the production cost of fine salt is not small, requiring a lot of manpower and material support.

In this era, the strength of the family can compete with the royal family, and a governor himself is not enough in front of the family. It is very difficult to ensure that the fine salt is not taken away. According to Li Daye's method, the risk is transferred.

"really!"

Li Shimin nodded solemnly.

Fang Yuan was silent, thinking about its reliability.

Li Shimin didn't urge him either, quietly waiting for Fang Yuan's decision.

Of course, he was nervous, worried that Fang Yuan would not agree with his idea.

"I have a condition."

Fang Yuan finally made a decision.

If he could get money while lying down, he thought it would be good to lie down.

"Say."

Li Shimin said excitedly.

"Sign the contract and ask the emperor to sign and seal it!"

Fang Yuan looked deeply at Li Shimin and said.

"Yes, as long as your salt is really special!"

Li Shimin did not hesitate.

He is the emperor, so there is nothing to hesitate about.

"it is good!"

"Hong Xu Qing, bring the salt making tools."

Fang Yuan took a deep look at Li Shimin, and ordered.

"okay."

Hongxu Qingyan got up and left.

Not long after, a large piece of coarse salt, several pieces of delicate gauze, and a piece of porcelain that can be heated were brought by Hong Xuqing.

"See this coarse salt?"

Fang Yuan took the coarse salt half a fist.

It is uneven in shape, pale yellow in color, with some black impurities in it.

"I saw it."

Li Shimin nodded.

Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng also turned their heads to look at Fang Yuan.

"Dissolve coarse salt in water."

"Put the gauze in place to filter the impurities in the brine."

"Filtered brine is added to the porcelain and heated until the water is almost evaporated."

Fang Yuan said while doing experiments.

He used his chemistry and physics knowledge from high school.

Li Shimin and others watched, watched Fang Yuan dissolve the coarse salt in his hands.

Then filter out the black impurities in the coarse salt through gauze, and the brine becomes clear.

While surprised, they were even more curious about how the salt dissolved in water could be reproduced, and they saw an even more shocking scene.

I saw that after Fang Yuan stopped heating, crystal clear fine salt appeared in the porcelain, looking at the finished product, one knew that the result was very good.

"Fine salt?!"

The three of Li Shimin exclaimed.

They are all the most elite group of people in Datang, and they can occasionally see fine salt.

But fine salt is hard to come by, and manpower cannot produce it, so they are lucky enough to use it occasionally.

But now, Fang Yuan actually showed fine salt production in front of their eyes, and turned into fine salt just by using coarse salt.

Shocked, unbelievable!
"It's the making of a small amount of fine salt."

"When the emperor's contract arrives, I will teach you how to make large-scale fine salt."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Coarse salt refining is only suitable for refining a small amount of fine salt.

If you want to promote the world, the project is infinitely larger than here.

This is also one of the reasons why Fang Yuan agreed to Li Shimin's proposal.

"Let me try!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

He carefully took out a little bit of salt from the porcelain and put it on his tongue, and instantly, his eyes lit up.

"Good salt!"

　A chapter is updated in advance today, and after updating this chapter, it will be [-] words.

　　Because I heard that there will be intelligent push for [-] characters, so I will update it earlier, and there will be another chapter in the afternoon.

　　I wanted to ask for some data, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

　　Lao Zhou will update normally, and it will be on the shelves, and there will be explosive changes when it is on the shelves.

　　Thank you readers for your continued support until now, thank you.
