Thirteen Swords of Qin Shizhi's Desperate Beginning

dusk
Temporary Villa, Conference Hall

Quicksand high-level gathered, Han Fei, Li Changqing, Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, Zi Nu, Nong Yu, and his ally Yan Lingji, a total of seven people gathered together.

In the hall, Li Changqing pointed to Zi Nu with his eyes.

The purple girl wears a purple dress that outlines her slender waist, purple hair and purple eyes, revealing mystery, sexiness, charm, enchantment, nobility, and intellectuality, she is a moving and mature royal lady.

Zi Nuyu applauded three times.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Soon, under the curious eyes of Han Fei and Zhang Hao, the two daughters, Cai Die and Hong Yu, came hand in hand, and they brought bowls to the desk.

Han Fei and Zhang Liang widened their eyes and carefully looked at the tiny snow-like crystals in front of them. This kind of thing seemed familiar, but they couldn't think of the name for a while.

Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Brother Li, what is this?"

Zi Nu smiled and said mysteriously: "This is a peerless secret treasure. With it, Quicksand can form a huge business empire that spans seven countries in just one year."

Wei Zhuang stood leaning against the window, and he also participated in the meeting. Everyone discussed important matters, and naturally they had to wait for him to adjust his breath and digest the results of his discussion with Li Changqing. After all, he was also one of the indispensable high-level leaders in Quicksand.

The corners of Wei Zhuang's mouth were pursed lightly. Anyone who knew him well knew that he was in a very good mood.

"This is the treasure that supports quicksand to become stronger and fights back against the night." Wei Zhuang pursed his lips slightly, and spoke lightly, as if he already knew what it was.

Han Fei and Zhang Liang looked at each other with more curiosity.

The jade finger of Yan Lingji's right hand and Huo Ling's hairpin twirled, she gave Li Changqing an angry look, and said coquettishly and angrily, "Could it be a must-have skill for each of you to join Quicksand?"

"Can't you just say it straight?"

Li Changqing coughed, and said seriously: "Brother Han, Zifang, please try it."

Han Fei raised his thick eyebrows, lightly tapped his right index finger, and then put it in his hand.

"Um?!"

Han Fei frowned, his face was extremely salty and bitter, and his face twitched.

Afterwards, Han Fei was overjoyed, and suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Li, this, is this salt?"

Zhang Liang also tasted it, showing an incredulous expression: "Brother Li, Miss Zi Nu, this is salt? How did you get such fine salt that is so white and crystal clear, with particles like snow and no impurities?"

Yanling Ji Huoling's hairpin slightly lifted some, and in the mouth, the beauty's expression was quite rich, bitter to the extreme and at the same time containing shock and joy.

Li Changqing sat cross-legged, with a calm expression on his face, beside him, Nongyu was pouring a glass of wine, which was made from Hanlu orchids.

"Bah!"

Picking up the wine glass, Li Changqing drank it down in one gulp.

Zi Nu explained: "This is fine salt, referred to as refined salt. Li Changqing said - after he left Lijia Village, he practiced and traveled around the world while practicing. By chance, he got an ancient silk book."

"That ancient silk book happened to record the method of smelting refined salt."

Li Changqing put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "It is thanks to Zi Nu girl's first-class smelting skills and complete equipment. She can extract refined salt in a short time."

Zi Nu's smelting technology is very good. She may smelt a kind of gold called Shuixiaojin. This kind of gold will melt when it meets water. It helped Han Fei solve the case of "ghost soldiers robbing salaries" and solved the problem of [-] military salaries melting in rainy days. weird phenomenon.

Zhang Liang was shocked: "There is such an ancient prescription?"

"This kind of fine salt is really the first time that Zifang has seen it in his life. Even the first-class fine salt eaten by the king and his wives in the palace cannot be compared with it."

Han Fei asked, to the point: "Brother Li, I don't know how much this refined salt costs? How much is the cost of refining a catty? How much can the market price recover the cost? How much can the price be profitable?"

Li Changqing and Zi Nu looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Wei Zhuang went to his seat and sat down without any panic, as if he already knew the answer.

At the scene, only Han Fei, Zhang Liang, and Yan Lingji didn't know.

Zi Nu stood up, with a slender waist that could be grasped, and explained: "The production cost of refined salt is extremely low, and one hundred dollars can produce ten catties of refined salt."

One hundred knives is exactly one gold.

Han Fei, Zhang Liang, and Yan Lingji looked shocked: "One gold can make ten catties of fine salt?"

"Is this true?"

Li Changqing got up slowly with a wine glass in his hand, with a serious expression on his face: "Seriously."

Salt production requires three raw materials—sea water, salt lake brine, and underground brine.

Li Changqing discussed with Wei Zhuang very early on, and asked him to send people from Qijuetang to investigate the underground brine according to his request and description. After nearly a month, Qijuetang disciples dispatched more than half of them, and finally found an underground brine.

Of course, it was also because of the characteristics of the environment where the underground brine was provided by Li Changqing, and more than half of the disciples of Qijuetang dispatched to search for more than ten days in a row, plus the element of luck, they found a place.

Next, Zi Nu followed the steps provided by Li Changqing, and after a few attempts, she quickly successfully extracted refined salt.

Zi Nu's smelting technique is indeed quite clever and eye-opening. In addition, there are glass artifacts in this martial arts version of the Warring States World, which made Zi Nu succeed very quickly.

Zhang Liang was shocked and said: "It costs one gold to refine ten catties of refined salt. The cost is unimaginably low. If Brother Li hadn't told me personally, Zifang wouldn't believe it."

"The same goes for Han Fei."

Han Fei smiled and said, "I think this must be the big gift Brother Li wants to give to Quicksand."

Li Changqing nodded and said, "That's right."

Everyone at the scene was overwhelmed with emotion. They knew very well that the weight represented by the two words salt and iron, especially salt, is what the whole world needs.

Once refined salt is put into the market, it will cause shocks in the business world, shocks in the Seven Kingdoms, and shocks in Kyushu, and the wealth of the world can continuously gather in the hands of quicksand.

Building a business empire that spans seven countries and operates legally is not empty talk at all, and the time can be shortened to about a year.

Zi Nu said: "Only me, Nong Yu, Hong Yu, Cai Die and other Zi Lan Xuan sisters know how to make refined salt, and they are responsible for refining it."

"A total of 30 of us are in charge of refining, and each is responsible for one of the steps. With enough raw materials, we can produce [-] catties a week. After calculating the cost of equipment and labor, one gold can produce ten catties of salt."

One gold costs ten catties of refined salt, and 10 knives cost one catty of refined salt.

Li Changqing added: "In the initial stage, the method of making salt needs to be kept absolutely secret, so the output can only reach this level, [-] catties a week."

"And I decided that in the future, the market will set a price of 30 knives per catty of refined salt."

Everyone looked surprised: "30 knives?"

Not too high, but too low, unbelievably low.

Salt, although everyone in the world needs it, most nobles and wealthy families are eligible to eat it. In this chaotic era, ordinary people can't even eat enough.

Zhang Liang was surprised and said, "I thought Brother Li would set a price of one gold per catty, or even ten gold per catty."

Li Changqing's face turned serious and said: "Instead of earning profit, I hope that everyone in Jiuzhou can eat refined salt. Isn't it the ultimate long-cherished wish of Quicksand to benefit the common people in the world?"

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Li Changqing.

Li Changqing is a "gentle" person. His gentleness is not just to one person and family, but to the common people in the world, and to the people of Kyushu.

In this man's heart, there are people all over the world.

Yanling Ji's eyes are as beautiful as water.

Han Fei and Zhang Liang clasped their fists together and saluted: "Brother Li is open-minded, Han Fei (ovary) admires him."

Li Changqing stretched his waist and said: "Salt is my gift to join Quicksand, and the gift that comes with the gift is one of the four evil generals of the night: Emerald Tiger."

When everyone heard the words, their eyes lit up.

Wei Zhuang's sharp eyes lit up, and he pursed his lips and said, "It's very wise to choose the weakest and most important part of the enemy to attack."

The Emerald Tiger is in charge of financial power, and the economic base determines the superstructure. No matter what you do, money is always indispensable and extremely important.

Han Fei smiled and said: "It seems that brother Li has already made up his mind. Then this time, let us see you show your talents."

Yan Lingji's beautiful eyes were like water, and she looked at Li Changqing softly, with a soft voice like water, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Changqing walked with his hands behind his back, walked to the southwest window, looked towards the southwest of South Korea, looked at the blue sky thousands of miles away, and said slowly: "First, I have to go to Nanyang."

Nanyang County, the base camp of the Emerald Tiger.
