Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan said: "It's not easy for our Qin people to travel in and out of northern Xinjiang. In this way, I'll make it, you'll sell it, and we'll share the profit fifty-fifty. How about that?"

King Zuo Xian's eyes flashed. He naturally understood Jiang Fan's purpose, but he didn't know that this was a huge benefit.

Seeing that he was both interested and hesitant, Jiang Fan lost no time in adding fire: "If you don't cooperate, I think the other three..."

"make a deal!"

Du Meng immediately agreed.

Jiang Fan laughed: "It's refreshing."

After that, he opened the second box, which contained exquisite glass products, crystal clear and free of impurities. King Zuo Xian felt like he was admiring a rare treasure.

"This, this is colored glaze, rare in the world..."

Jiang Fan said: "That's natural. I have searched all over the world and haven't collected much, so the price of this thing is very, very high. What does King Zuo Xian think?"

Du Meng said: "Do you still want those things?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "I am not short of anything else, I am short of supplies. Therefore, supplies, or gold and silver will do."

Du Meng said: "These rare treasures are extremely valuable, and you are actually willing to sell them?"

Jiang Fan shook his head repeatedly: "You have to live to enjoy it. I want to gain a foothold in Qin, and I want more things... I can't bear to part with it."

Although he was deceiving, it was completely reasonable. After all, he was the King of Zuoxian and had a deep understanding of the struggle for power. Then he said: "I want them all, as much as you have."

At this point, Jiang Fan knew that he had fallen into the trap of his own conventional logic, so he waved his hand: "Don't worry, how about I collect it and sell it to you at the same time?"

Du nodded fiercely, he didn't even plan to sell this thing. You know, even he has never seen glass of this quality. It is estimated that each piece can be exchanged for at least a thousand sheep, hundreds of cattle or dozens of good horses.

You can completely put it away and kill those few people when needed.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Fan probably understood what he was thinking and couldn't help but smile to himself. You can't help but fall for it.

"Both are good deals, done."

Jiang Fan clapped his hands: "Don't worry, there is more."

After saying that, he pointed to the burning knife on the table: "How about this wine?"

They were all moved: "This wine is the best. The grassland is bitter and cold, so such a strong wine will help a lot."

Jiang Fan said: "Is this business successful?"

"It's done!" This was an overwhelming affirmation.

Jiang Fan said: "The brewing cost of this fine wine is extremely high, so the price is not cheap. You should have heard that this wine is Linjiang Pavilion Shao Dao Zi."

They were all stunned: "Is this a burning knife?"

As a king, of course he knew that someone had brought this wine to him several times and exchanged it for many good things.

Therefore, he also understood that Jiang Fan was not lying. The production of this wine was very small and it was indeed very expensive.

Jiang Fan said: "I can make this wine, but the output is not large. We can negotiate the price and only exchange materials."

Du Meng agreed immediately.

These three businesses gave him great benefits. I couldn't help but look forward to it: "Is there any other business?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "Of course there is one more thing."

As he spoke, he opened the third wooden box and found some powder as white as snow and crystal clear inside.

"This is……"

Jiang Fan stretched out his hand, put some on the tip of his tongue, tasted it and said, "You can give it a try."

Seeing him taking the lead in demonstrating, Du Meng was naturally not afraid of the poison, so he put a little of it on the tip of his tongue. The next moment, his eyes were all wet, and he almost slapped the table and stood up.

"Is this... refined salt?"

He was so surprised. He had never seen or heard of refined salt of this quality. A bit of it was equivalent to a large piece of salt. And the taste is extremely salty and fresh, without any impurities. Even he only used more refined salt, and he had never seen such a thing before.

Jiang Fan secretly mocked him for not seeing the world. To them, this thing was as valuable as gold. To Jiang Fan, it was extremely simple. How could he worry about selling it for several times or even dozens of times the price?

Jiang Fan stretched out his finger and pressed it on his lips: "Shh - keep your voice down."

They all calmed down subconsciously. Salt and iron are strategic materials and are controlled by the state. Private manufacturing and selling is definitely a major crime against the Nine Tribes. And the other party obviously wants to smuggle.

"Are you so bold...Aren't you afraid that the Empress will know?"

Jiang Fan whispered: "So, don't make any noise."

Du Meng's eyes showed confusion: "What on earth are you going to do?"

He couldn't help but wonder, salt is as precious as gold, this man is so bold that he wants to smuggle refined salt, is he really not afraid of death?

Jiang Fan smiled: "Of course I have a big plan, otherwise I wouldn't be so short of money and supplies. Don't worry about this, just decide whether to do this business or not."

Du Meng immediately said: "Do it!"

He is not a fool. How many cattle, sheep and horses would have to be exchanged for such refined salt?

And it was precisely the incident of Jiang Fan throwing out the salt that made him truly believe in Jiang Fan. After all, in this era, the crime of smuggling salt and iron is not punishable.

Jiang Fan also admired this guy a little. After talking so much just now, his expression was always suspicious, and it was not until this moment that he really opened up. Sure enough, it is not easy for someone to become King Zuoxian. But how could he understand that Jiang Fan was setting traps step by step like this.

"But there is one condition." Jiang Fan said seriously.

"you say!"

Looking at his face, Jiang Fan knew that he would be willing to pay a heavy price at this moment.

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "I want Nanluze."

Du frowned: "You want me to cede the land?"

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "You don't know where Nanluze is? Even if I wanted land, I wouldn't choose that place."

Everyone suddenly came back to their senses. Indeed, Nanluze was a swamp and salt marsh on the south side of Luyeyuan, bordering Longxi County of Great Qin. However, he did not know that this would be the largest salt producing area in the northwest in the future.

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood: "You... want to mine coarse salt?"

Jiang Fan clapped his hands: "By the way, refined salt must be made from coarse salt. Your place is good. I want it, but in order not to embarrass you, we will sign an agreement separately and not make it public. On the surface. , how about you use your own people and effort to mine the coarse salt, leave it to me to finely process it, and then help me sell it to all over the grassland? "

Du Meng thought about it for a long time and didn't think there was anything wrong. Let alone mining in that place, the other party didn't feel bad about it, but it just didn't sound nice to say.

If you do the mining yourself and others don't know about the land ceding, it won't matter at all.

"Yes, but you have to give me a preferential price."

Jiang Fan snapped his fingers: "That's inevitable."

Du Meng was overjoyed. With this salt, he could control other tribes more effectively and sell it to the other three kings at a high price to obtain high profits.

Little did they know that Jiang Fan looked calm on the surface, but he was laughing secretly in his heart.

In his eyes, table salt is simple and easy to make, but in this special era, it has extraordinary significance.

Looking back on his own world, Lao Qin finally came to dominate the world through three salt wars.

And this waste had unknowingly given himself the barbarian tribe's largest salt-producing land. There is no need to do anything yourself.

What's more, through this matter, he first solved the Qin people's salt needs in large quantities.

At the same time, if you go back and sell a little bit of it to Du Meng at a sky-high price, you can exchange for countless practical strategic materials. This transaction is simply not a good deal.

It is true that knowledge determines vision, and vision determines everything.
