Daming: Playing stupid for ten years, I was broadcast live by sister Zhou

Chapter 92 Financial pressure, come and view

"Can you produce salt?"

Zhu Ming raised his eyebrows, and his face showed joy.

In ancient times, salt was hard currency!

It is the password of wealth!

Even if the quality is poor, as long as the price is low, you will never worry about selling it!
Some scholars have even compared the reason why the Song Dynasty was always defeated, but the court was very rich. In addition to the prosperity of trade, it was supported by the salt tax!
In the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court could hardly collect the salt tax, which was also a major reason for the emptiness of the national treasury!
Once a large amount of refined salt can be produced, won't the silver rush into the pocket like running water?
Especially in the recent period of supporting Zhou Shuyi's investment and construction, spending money is like running water.

Ju Ming looked at the amount of money that decreased in his account every day, and felt that he had become a money-scatterer!

If this tossing continues, the palace will go bankrupt!
Today, Yang Shiqi, who is busy with official duties, was specially summoned to discuss how to increase income and reduce expenditure, and solve the problem of financial difficulties!
However, during the negotiation process, Ju Ming never mentioned reducing financial support for Zhou Shuyi.

Because he knows the importance of upfront investment.

If you don't even have the initial investment, how can you get a huge return?

Which one of those commercial promotions in later generations didn't spend money first.

After gaining popularity, it is time to reap the benefits.

So financial difficulties, but still gritted their teeth.

Now that I heard that salt can be produced, the excitement in my heart is not much more than that of Zhou Shuyi.

The hanging heart finally fell!
"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhu Ming said three good words in a row, which shows the excitement in his heart.

Yang Shiqi beside him also frowned and let out a long sigh of relief.

The ability of salt farms to produce salt is not only profitable to solve financial difficulties.

It also means that the investment can end.

As the long history of the palace, he plays the role of aide and chief steward.

The pressure can be imagined.

Recently, I have also been overwhelmed by the continuous support.

I can't wait to break a copper coin into two to use.

He even secretly ordered Yan Qi to lead his troops out for a stroll, to see if he could get some more money to subsidize his family.

It's a pity that the bandits and bandits in the nearby state capital have long been cleaned up.

Even those who were not cleared were so scared that they packed up and ran away overnight.

Now who doesn't know that there is a group of ruthless people who specialize in eating and drinking in several state capitals centered on the Hanwang fiefdom!
Don't run away and stay to die?
Without foreign subsidies, one head of Yang Shiqi was bigger than two!

The recent financial pressure is causing my hair to fall out in handfuls at night.

A young man in his 20s is about to become bald and bald!

Now I heard that it can produce salt.

Can't wait to say: "Your Highness, hurry up, go and have a look!"

Zhu Ming also wanted to confirm the situation with his own eyes, so he nodded immediately.

"Go~!"

……

In order to save time, the three of them went out in casual clothes.

Outside the palace, the horses were ready and waiting at the fifth watch.

In addition to the one he was riding, there were two tall horses beside him.

Zhu Ming grabbed the saddle, stepped on the horse stool, and exerted a little force.

He turned over gracefully.

Then he turned his head and looked at the beautiful woman standing below.

With a smile on his face, he stretched out his arms.

Zhou Shuyi smiled like a flower, and naturally held the big hand that was extended.

Driven by a force, his body vacated and sat firmly on the horse's back.

You can still feel the warmth from your solid chest on your back.

The four eyes met, revealing a tacit smile.

Zhu Ming shook the reins, and said in a low voice, "Drive~!"

Immediately, the horse galloped quickly.

The violent shaking made the two of them get closer!
The water friends who were watching the live broadcast saw the warm scene, and many of them were sour!

"Isn't this too intimate?"

"Why do you want sister Zhou to be in the front instead of sitting in the back?"

"Obviously ill-intentioned!"

"That's right, the Palace of the King of Han didn't even give the princess a horse?"

"And how do I remember that sister Zhou can ride a horse?"

"Why do you think that one of the two is pretending to be confused and the other is pretending not to know?"

"Have it?"

"do not have it?"

"on purpose?"

"Who knows?"

"..."

At this moment, Zhou Shuyi was sitting in Zhu Ming's arms, her heart was pounding like a deer, and she didn't have the heart to watch the complaints of the water friends.

Although the two had a taste of an arranged marriage since their engagement.

But it is also a good choice to get in touch with each other before officially getting married.

Just like now, it made her feel passionately in love!
This feeling is very enjoyable!

After galloping all the way through the horses, we soon came to the beach.

Huge pools have been built in the area marked out at this moment.

Even if it is filled with seawater, there is no need to worry about it collapsing due to immersion!
Yang Shiqi sat on horseback, looking down at the salt ponds from a high position.

Even if it wasn't the first time I saw it, I couldn't help feeling: "So many pools can be built in just a few days, the cement is amazing!
If it is used in the military, a fortress can be poured out in no time! "

Zhu Ming nodded slightly, and said in agreement: "In Daming, cement is the country's most important weapon!"

Zhou Shuyi raised her pointed chin proudly after hearing the praise.

Said proudly: "It must be dripped~! Sister Zhou produced it, it must be a boutique!"

After thinking about it, he added proudly: "Look, even the quality of the sea salt produced is a boutique that you have never seen before!"

Zhu Ming smiled lightly, and didn't think she was bragging.

After all, he ate salt every day in his previous life, so he naturally knew what it was like.

Today's salt in Daming has a lot of impurities, its color is yellow, and it tastes bitter.

Even the refined salt in the palace is only slightly better.

Compared with the table salt of later generations, it is not an order of magnitude at all!
When Yang Shiqi heard this, his eyes widened, and a look of expectation appeared on his face.

The higher the quality of the salt, the higher the price, and the less worry about selling it!
In the Ming Dynasty, although the people at the bottom were poor, the Xungui and big families were still very rich.

If there is better quality table salt, no matter how high the price is, they will rush to buy it.

Because a small grain of salt is not only about eating and drinking, but also about face!
If there is better refined salt, the old and bitter old salt is still used.

If it spreads out, it will be laughed at by friends or colleagues!

All they want is a face!
At this time, Li Zhongping heard the news that the King of Han was coming, so he hurried over.

Respectfully saluted: "Your Highness, Wangfei, this way please, I can see more clearly from here."

Zhu Ming nodded, and led him up to the high observation deck.

It is condescending here, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire salt field.

A mouthful of huge salt ponds are neatly arranged.

A pedal water pump is running hard.

Following the evaporation pool, regulating plate, crystallization plate, crystallization pool... one after another process is carried out under the orderly control of the workers.

The crystallization pool has also undergone 12 hours of precipitation, and you can see the salt condensed in the pool!
