Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 129 The unlucky Cui family of Qinghe

Cui Yuan actually agreed to them all!
Is he crazy?
Aren't you afraid that if Qiwang of the Five Surnames finds out about it, he will take revenge in anger?
Or does he have a way to deal with the five surnames and seven looks?

"It's just business. I sell them refined salt. If any of them has the ability to buy it all, that's their ability."

Cui Yuan said with a smile, very sincerely.

They appear to be harmless to humans and animals, without any thought.

But Li Shimin still heard something was wrong, and he became more vigilant!
"Is it possible that you have so much refined salt in your hands that even a person named Qiwang of the Five Surnames cannot buy it all at a low price or even if he loses his fortune?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, he was shocked by his words!

The idea is crazy!

The reason why snowflake salt is worth thousands of dollars is that it is so scarce.

Generally, only the best well salt can produce snowflake salt, and the annual output is extremely limited, so every millimeter is precious.

If there is a large amount of this stuff, what's the point?
Cui Yuan smiled silently and nodded in acquiescence.

Li Shimin was shocked when he saw this, and he was even more horrified!
This is actually true!

"But Immortal Cui, I have never heard of any top-notch snowflake salt wells in Great Qin!" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask.

Unlike His Majesty, who had personally learned Cui Yuan's methods, he did not have that much trust in Cui Yuan.

"That's right! I didn't see any large-scale snowflake salt wells either!"

Liu Bang was also curious and asked.

The problem of salt is also a very difficult problem for big men to solve.

Although he had great confidence in Cui Yuan, he still wanted to know the answer.

Cui Yuan nodded towards the two of them and acknowledged their opinions: "Indeed, there is none, but why should I look for a natural snowflake salt well?"

Why search?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing why. Cui Yuan continued: "Actually, whether it is mineral salt, well salt or sea salt, its essence is the same, but each is mixed with a lot of impurities."

"The so-called snowflake salt is actually salt with relatively few impurities. It is essentially no different from those poisonous salts that can kill people if eaten."

"As long as all the impurities in the salt can be removed, then no matter what kind of salt, it can eventually become snowflake salt."

"did you mean!"

Li Shimin was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide and his eyes were full of horror: "Did you purify these snowflake salts from other salts, such as mineral salts?"

"Your Majesty, how is this possible!?"

"You're crazy! How can mineral salt be turned into snowflake salt?"

Fang Xuanling and Liu Bang both made disbelieving sounds.

In their opinion, this inference is no less than a fantasy, and it is simply impossible to realize!

They all thought it was impossible, but Cui Yuan gave them a head-on blow!
"Yes, that's right!"

"All the refined salt currently sold in Chang'an City was originally mined salt from Lantian."

Lantian is not far from Xianyang. When His Majesty Wang Jiahe gave him the fiefdom, that area was all assigned to Cui Yuan's name.

Although this place is very barren and lacks water, making it difficult for agriculture to develop, it has a special feature that is not found in other places nearby.

That is, there is a large amount of mineral salt, which attracts a large number of beasts every year to lick the ore and absorb the salt!
For local people, this is a useless resource.

Because if you eat too much colorful mineral salt, it can easily lead to death.

But for Cui Yuan, this is a very good practice opportunity.

During the half year when the army went out to conquer the Huns, Cui Yuan had been in charge of the research on the purification technology of refined salt at Liucunbao.

"Although it seems very complicated, the actual principle is actually very simple."

"You just need to crush the salt ore to dissolve it, then boil it until yellow-white crystals condense on the edges."

"Then dissolve the crystals into clean water, use activated carbon and gauze to filter it multiple times, and then evaporate to precipitate the refined salt."

"After this set of processes, the mineral salt will become the snowflake salt in my hands."

Cui Yuan explained patiently, and also took out a set of simple demonstration equipment brought from Daqin, and began to reproduce it in front of everyone's shocked eyes.

First, small pieces of salt ore are crushed, and then dissolved... all the processes are exactly the same as what he said before.

Not long after, as the last step was completed, a small pile of purified salt appeared in Cui Yuan's hand.

Surprisingly, it is snowflake salt being sold in Chang'an City!

Bang!
The eye masks of the three of them seemed to be about to burst!

Looking at the refined salt in the young man's hand, I was shocked to the point of earth-shattering!

God!

Mineral salt can actually be purified into refined salt, and the process is so simple!
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would dare to believe it?
"Now."

Cui Yuan smiled and said: "You should be able to understand why I agreed to the five surnames and seven looks at the same time, right?"

Li Shimin nodded bitterly.

understand!

He is so understanding!

Because no matter how low the price Wu Xing Qi Wang buys or how much money he spends, it is impossible to really buy out Cui Yuan's nearly unlimited supply of refined salt purified from mineral salt!
It's ridiculous that they still think that as long as they purchase all the refined salt, they can buy low, sell high, and wait to make a fortune.

In fact, from beginning to end, they are just a bunch of clowns!

What Liu Bang said before is absolutely correct. The happier Cui Yuan smiles, the harder he tries to trick people!
"No wonder you would set the price of refined salt at one-third of the market price, and then lower the price to one-quarter, making it one-twelfth of the market price."

"If compared to the price of standard snowflake salt, this is indeed a hefty low price."

"But if it's mineral salt that's almost free compared to the standard, then you're asking for a lot of money!"

The more Li Shimin talked about it, the more he admired him and was completely convinced.

He was truly worthy of being an immortal who could change the destiny of the Qin Dynasty. His extraordinary methods were beyond his imagination!

Just using salt can stir up the five surnames and seven hopes that I have been helpless for many years!
It is a great blessing that His Majesty Zulong sent such a genius to help Datang!
Fang Xuanling was even more direct. She started to apologize to Cui Yuan, feeling ashamed of her rudeness just now!
"Actually, you are only partly right."

Cui Yuan accepted it generously, and then continued: "I have follow-up plans!"

"That is, after pushing Wu Xing Qi Wang to the limit, he will then completely lower the price of refined salt to one-twentieth of the current price!"

"While I am selling refined salt these days, I have also made Changsun Wuji and others prepare to build a salt-making workshop." "It only takes another half a month for it to be fully operational and produce refined salt."

"At that time, for Qiwang of the fifth surname, it will be a real injury!"

Since his opponents are the top aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty, Cui Yuan will naturally do his best!

It's nothing to cheat them out of money, what he wants is to dig out their foundation!
A breeze blew in the sky, bringing a thick chill.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Liu Bang trembled!
……

"Ah!"

"Strange, why did it suddenly get colder today? Or is something bad going to happen?"

In Chang'an City, in a luxurious and spacious mansion.

The head of the Cui family in Qinghe, who was dressed in gold, silver, and Hetian jade, showing off his luxury, sneezed and was a little confused.

But he didn't think for a long time, because just now, his most valued eldest son came back, and he also brought the good news that Cui Yuan agreed to their Cui family's trading request.

"And it's still reduced by another quarter on the basis of one-third. Now my Cui family is likely to rise completely because of this!"

The head of the Cui family was very happy, and even the gold bracelet on his hand was banging.

Although they are now a super family in the Tang Dynasty, people's hearts will never be satisfied.

In his opinion, just being a super aristocratic family of the Tang Dynasty is nothing. If you want to do it, you have to take the position of the lord of the world!
Let Cui of Qinghe completely replace Li and become the king of this world!

"Ha ha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Father, something is wrong!"

The head of the Cui family was still laughing wildly, and the Cui family's crown prince, who had gone to see Cui Yuan before, hurried over, his face full of anger!
"That Cui Yuan is playing tricks on us, he actually dares to play on us!"

"What's wrong? He regretted the deal with us?" A dangerous light flashed in the eyes of the Cui family head.

"Yes!"

The prince shook his head, but nodded uncertainly: "Well~ It seems not entirely true."

"What do you mean?"

"While he promised to sell only to us, he also promised to other families with the fifth surname and Qiwang." The prince was very angry.

In his opinion, this is shameless rogue behavior!

You obviously agreed to cut a leek for me, why do you, a leek, still go out to hook up with others?

"Haha! What's going on?"

Unlike the young prince, the head of the Cui family was not only not angry, but also very happy: "Isn't this normal? After all, that Cui Yuan is just a charlatan."

"He can bow his head because he is afraid of the power of our Cui family, and he can naturally bow his head because he is afraid of the power of other families."

"Not to mention that he offended His Majesty before in order to promise us."

"Without His Majesty's support, who is he? And what qualifications do he have to negotiate terms with other aristocratic families?"

The Crown Prince was still a little unwilling: "This is true, but in this case, wouldn't our Cui family lose a lot of benefits?"

It's obvious that great achievements are right in front of you, but it's really unwilling to give up like this.

"Our Cui family used to be the only one and could swallow all the refined salt. Now we have to share it with other aristocratic families."

The head of the Cui family shook his head: "You are too superficial. Although the truth is true, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis."

"If other aristocratic families want to buy snowflake salt, they must have enough salt to buy it for them!"

"Now our Cui family is the only one who has reached an agreement with Cui Yuan, and the price we got is the lowest among many aristocratic families!"

"As long as we can use most of the family's property to buy snowflake salt, even if Cui Yuan has a salt mountain, we can completely buy it out! Not to mention that he doesn't have one at all!"

"When that time comes, won't other aristocratic families just stare?"

"Yes!" The prince suddenly understood and nodded excitedly!

Although I really want to be in the top position, my father is my father and he is thoughtful.

Indeed, although Cui Yuan agreed to all the aristocratic families, precious things like snowflake salt are still limited after all.

As long as he can buy them all, then the Qinghe Cui family can still absorb all this wave of profits!
I can still achieve this super feat!

As for the dishonest Cui Yuan, when he becomes the head of the family, why don't he just do whatever he wants to do with him?

Since he dares to lie to himself, he will definitely die in a very ugly way!

"Stop being stupid and go do it!"

"Sell off our Cui family's property in Chang'an City as much as possible, and then mobilize some gold and grain from Qinghe."

The master of the family gave the order, and the prince agreed. Even after saying that, he left to prepare the money.

Just seven days later, the people in Chang'an City saw a scene they would never forget!
One carriage after another, they drove out from the Cui family's residence in Qinghe, passed through Chang'an City, and stopped in front of Liang Guogong's residence!

It directly blocked the entire street, making it impossible for pedestrians around it to pass!

And each chariot was filled with mountains of treasures and food!

There are so many of them that just looking at them makes people dazzled and makes them wonder if they are dreaming!
This is [-]% of Cui's family property in Qinghe. Except for the fields and minerals that cannot be used, everything else that can be realized has been taken out!
In his opinion, it is impossible for Cui Yuan to have the refined salt that can be exchanged for all the wealth. The reason why he brought so much was simply to let go of his power!
Let you look down on our Qinghe Cui family and secretly make agreements with other aristocratic families!

This will let you, a chinless man, see the financial resources of the top aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty!
The people looked at it with amazement at first, and then with anger!
I am still suffering from natural disasters here, and yet these aristocratic families have accumulated such terrifying wealth and food, without any regard for the life and death of the people in the world!
This isn't just greed for wealth, it's simply cold-blooded cruelty!

The people cursed angrily and looked at the convoy with angry eyes.

But the leader of the Young Master Cui didn't pay any attention.

They are just a bunch of pariahs, so what can they do if they are angry at themselves?
As long as I show mercy and give them some food, won't they follow me like crazy and fight for their Cui family through life and death?
Although he is not old, he has seen this kind of thing many times!
People from other aristocratic families also appeared, and they were speechless watching this scene.

Ms. Cui of Qinghe, the way you look when you eat is too ugly!

What happened next was no surprise.

Cui Yuan and Liu Bang appeared, greeted Cui's people with smiles on their faces, and sold a huge amount of refined salt at the agreed price that day.

Carriages loaded with treasures and food entered the mansion, and when they came out, they all turned into carts of snowflakes and refined salt!

Young Master Cui was a little calm and calm at first, but soon he noticed something was wrong.

Why is the amount of refined salt so much more than he imagined?
