Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 149 Excited Artillery Battalion
As soon as this statement came out, everyone on the scene was stunned.

They don't quite understand the four terms crushing, dissolving, filtering, and analyzing, but they understand what the 36 processes represent.

This shows that the production process of small tribute salt is extremely cumbersome and not easy.

And the 49 days in seven or seven days surprised them even more.

You know, whether it is brine or sea water, under good weather conditions, a large amount of coarse salt can be produced after two or three days in the sun, but it takes such a long time to produce refined salt.

It can be seen that the cost of small tribute salt must be frighteningly high.

Thinking about it this way... It seems that the high price of Xiaogong Salt is reasonable.

While everyone was thinking about this, shopkeeper Hu continued: "I can tell you responsibly that only one or two small tribute salts can be extracted from hundreds of catties of coarse salt. Due to the complicated and lengthy production process, the small tribute salt The output is very low, and on average, it can produce ten catties a day at most! You may wish to think about the cost of input, can this refined salt be cheap?"

"And you can think about it, salt is an important material related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. If small tribute salt is so easy to manufacture, wouldn't your majesty not promote it nationwide? If your majesty didn't know that the cost of small tribute salt is very high, how dare we sell it so high Price? Do you think His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince would be stupid enough to take such a big risk?"

Speaking of this, no one at the scene doubted the authenticity of what shopkeeper Hu said, and someone immediately said: "There is a reason why you are expensive, give me a catty!"

However, shopkeeper Hu shook his head: "Sorry, because the average production of refined salt is only ten catties per day, Diandude and Beer BBQ City consume about six catties a day, and there are two catties to be supplied to the palace, so we have a total of only one catty per day. The amount of two catties is for sale, and the purchase of small tribute salt is limited to one tael per person!"

As soon as the words fell, the man said: "Okay, one tael is one tael, I'll buy it!"

As he spoke, he quickly took out the silver and handed it over.

Just kidding, I only sell two catties a day, which is 20 taels, if you sell slowly, it will be gone!
Naturally, the others were not stupid, so they quickly gathered around.

"Give me a bottle!"

"I want a bottle too!"

……

Soon, twenty bottles of small tribute salt were sold out.

In just a dozen breaths, the small tribute salt was sold for 360 taels!

In the private room on the second floor, Li Changfeng couldn't help showing a happy smile.

In fact, the cost of these refined salts is very low.

Including artificial equipment and raw materials, the cost of one hundred catties of refined salt does not even need a tael of silver, and the cost of every tael of refined salt is almost negligible.

As a supplier, when he discussed the small tribute salt business with Emperor Qianwu in Baishi City, he agreed on a price of 100 taels of silver.

Although he is now in partnership with Emperor Qianwu, they only share 68 taels of profit, and the so-called 100 taels of cost will all go into his pocket.

For this item alone, Li Changfeng earned 2000 taels a day.

Then the profit for every tael of small tribute salt is 68 taels, and he can get 680 taels evenly with Emperor Qianwu.

Calculated in this way, in the case of running out of money every day, the account will be 680 taels a day, and 400 taels a month!
Such an income is terrifying!
Rareness is the most precious thing, Li Changfeng deliberately limited the supply, adding one or two small tribute salts is enough for a big family for a day, so there is no need to worry about selling small tribute salts!

Such income is sustainable!

Unless someone can crack his method of making small tribute salt, which is simply impossible.

The next day.

Li Changfeng slept until he woke up naturally as usual.

It has been a while since I went to the Artillery Camp, so Li Changfeng decided to take a look.

After all, Emperor Qianwu attached great importance to this matter, and if he didn't go for a long time, he would inevitably be reprimanded.

Knowing that Li Changfeng had come to the Artillery Battalion, Li Jianye, as the deputy battalion commander, immediately summoned all the soldiers and arranged them in a neat line to accept Li Changfeng's inspection.

Everyone looked at Li Changfeng with fanaticism in their eyes.

Those who can be selected to become the Imperial Forest Army are the elite among the elite, and these people are the best existences selected from the Imperial Forest Army.

These soldiers are full of arrogance.

A few days ago, they also heard the news that Dagan was going to send his relatives to negotiate peace, and everyone felt very aggrieved in their hearts.

In the entire court, no one strongly demanded to fight the Nanmanzi, which made them very disappointed!

They all wanted to fight to the death with the southern barbarians, and they didn't want to suffer such humiliation, but this was not something they could decide.

Immediately afterwards, Li Changfeng's passionate speech in the court hall and Emperor Qianwu's latest decision reached their ears again.

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies.

No kiss!
No compensation!
Do not cede land!
No tribute!
Every word strongly stimulated their nerves, and everyone was trembling with excitement.

In their eyes, Li Changfeng is the person with the most backbone in the entire cadre, the eldest prince Li Chengye and the sixth prince Li Ji are simply incomparable!
They even think that even His Majesty does not have the backbone of Li Changfeng!
In addition, cannons and other state-defending weapons were invented by Li Changfeng, so they all admired Li Changfeng very much, even to the point of fanaticism.

Li Changfeng could naturally understand their eyes, and he couldn't help sighing secretly.

Isn't this cult of personality?
This kind of sign is undesirable.

No!

It has to continue to be bad.

He also didn't review the training results of everyone, and directly asked them to rest where they were.

Even if the task of showing his face was completed, Li Changfeng was about to leave when Li Jianye ran over excitedly.

"Brother Nine Emperors! I've heard what you said in the court, it's really inspiring! This is what I'm doing, the character that my Li family should have!"

This kind of thing is not good for Li Changfeng to dampen Li Jianye's passion, and he doesn't want to be defeated by the barbarians, so he said with a dry smile: "Well, as long as you can inspire you, you also need such a character!"

Li Jianye showed an unprecedented solemn expression, nodded fiercely and said: "Don't worry, brother Jiuhuang, I will train hard and live up to your expectations!"

As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers in the artillery battalion also shouted.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will not disappoint your expectations!"

"We must train hard, so as not to fall into the prestige of my Great Emperor!"

"Damn the barbarians, we're going to beat them until they cry!"

"We want to be the strongest army in Dagan!"

Every soldier was so excited that they almost roared and said these words. Li Changfeng was infected by their emotions and became a little agitated.

He raised his arms and shouted: "No marriage! No compensation! No land! No tribute!"

Then everyone in the artillery battalion stiffened their necks and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"No marriage! No compensation! No land! No tribute!"

"No marriage! No compensation! No land! No tribute!"

For a while, the momentum was so loud that it even spread to the capital.

After shouting for a while, the excited Li Jianye said: "How can killing the southern barbarians lose my brothers from the Artillery Battalion? Brother Nine Emperors, please go and tell Father Emperor that our Artillery Battalion is willing to take the lead!"

The soldiers who had seen the power of artillery were full of confidence. As soon as Jianye's words fell, a group of people echoed.

"Yes, Your Highness, we have artillery in hand, what is a mere southern barbarian? Come and kill as many as you want!"

"We must participate in this battle, so that the southern barbarians will know how powerful I am at the Artillery Battalion!"

"As long as there are artillery, the enemy is a chicken and a dog!"

"We must show the prestige of my great work!"

Hearing what everyone said, Li Changfeng was a little helpless.

Is this too inflated?

The power of the artillery is astonishing, but how effective can a mere ten guns be on a battlefield where tens of millions of troops collide?

They need to understand the situation clearly.

Li Changfeng raised his hand and pressed it, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Almost instantly, everyone fell silent, staring at him with piercing eyes.

Li Changfeng scolded directly: "Childish! Do you think ten cannons can decide the battle situation? Do you think ten cannons can repel thousands of troops? Think about it with your brain, is this possible?!"

After all, these soldiers were elites in the army, and Li Changfeng's words immediately calmed them down.

indeed.

It is indeed difficult to decide the battle situation with just ten artillery pieces.

But they were still a little unconvinced.

Even if it can't decide the battle situation, it can still demonstrate the might of the army, and there is no reason not to participate in the war.

Li Changfeng saw their thoughts, and patiently explained: "Do you know how difficult it is to manufacture artillery? Do you know how much you have worked hard to train you in secret? You are like a trump card, how can you easily show it to others? "

"My prince knows that you all want to make contributions and fight for me, but not at this time! When the number of cannons reaches one hundred or even hundreds, they will form a truly terrifying fighting force, and then you will be the ones who will conquer the world with one blockbuster!" when!"

"What you have to do now is to train hard and practice your skills hard, you know?!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, and immediately expressed their opinions.

"understood!"

"We must practice our skills hard!"

Seeing that his work had worked, Li Changfeng stayed for a while and then returned to the capital.

The next morning.

Li Changfeng received a secret report from Baishi City.

After he read the contents of the secret report, he pondered for a moment and gradually revealed a look of surprise.

"Great opportunity! Great opportunity!"

"Now you can go back to Baishi City in a legitimate way. The prince has had enough of this damn place in the capital!"

After speaking, Li Changfeng hurriedly sent someone to prepare a carriage for the palace.

When seeing Emperor Qianwu, before Emperor Qianwu could speak, Li Changfeng said directly: "Father, there is something to do in Baishi City, and I have to go back!"

Emperor Qianwu, who was reviewing the memorial, put down his imperial pen, his face darkened and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Changfeng cupped his hands and said, "I received a secret report that there were barbarian spies in Baishi City. Although I was caught, I still don't feel at ease. I have to go back and deal with the matter myself!"

Hearing this was the reason, Emperor Ganwu's face became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said angrily: "You bastard who does not seek to make progress, don't you just want to go back to Baishi City to live your happy life, when I Don't know what you're thinking? I tell you, there's no way!"
