Chapter 134 The Salt Industry Is the Most Profitable

"Not jade?"

Ba Ming was a little confused.

He really didn't know what business in the world would be more profitable than the jade business.

At this time, Ying Changsheng opened his mouth and said to Baming.

"The most profitable business in this world is actually a very common thing called salt!"

"Salt?"

Ba Ming was dumbfounded.

He really didn't understand.

The salt thing.

price.

Not too expensive.

How could he be the most profitable business?

Seeing Ba Ming's bewildered face, Ying Changsheng opened his mouth and said.

"That's something you don't know. This salt, his profits may not be as high as you imagined, but you may not know that their shipments are huge!"

"Let me ask you, besides food, what is the most indispensable thing for the people of the world?"

"Of course it's salt!"

Ba Ming understood instantly.

Well, the people of the world.

The most indispensable daily necessities.

It's just salt.

the reason is simple.

Words without salt.

It's not just that the food is not delicious.

Moreover, salt is an essential mineral in the human body.

This thing, if it is not ingested for a long time.

It has a great impact on human life.

Moreover, it will also cause people to have no energy when working.

In this situation.

Salt is naturally an indispensable material.

After hearing what Ying Changsheng said, Ba Ming in front of him immediately understood.

But then, he frowned again.

"But, Mr. Nineteenth, hasn't the salt business been taken over by the imperial court? Can ordinary businessmen like us really get involved in this kind of business?"

"of course!"

Ying Changsheng said to Ba Ming in front of him without thinking.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was also officially run by the salt industry.

However, it doesn't affect the method of opening Chinese that was used at that time.

I only heard Ying Changsheng explain.

"Nowadays, the imperial court is short of food. Therefore, private merchants are allowed to operate a part of the salt industry, and then make profits. As a result, our Daqin has enough food to provide disaster relief in the Kanto!"

"All we need is to transport the grain to Guandong, then ten kilograms of grain can be exchanged for one kilogram of salt!"

"With Yanyin, you can exchange salt from the imperial court's salt mine at any time!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ba Ming's eyes lit up immediately.

"Of course!"

Ying Changsheng nodded.

"My lord, can I still lie to you?"

Indeed, what is Ying Changsheng's identity?
That is the son of Daqin.

How could it be possible to deceive a small businessman?
Ba Ming suddenly felt that it made sense, and he said quickly.

"Young one, send someone to know the head of my family. What do you think?"

"Go!"

Ying Changsheng said.

Immediately, Wang Jian raised an objection.

"But, Young Master Nineteen, will the imperial court agree to this matter?"

"Father, I will definitely agree!"

Ying Changsheng said confidently.

The salt that can be obtained by boiling the sea can be exchanged for the food that is in short supply. How could Brother Zheng be dissatisfied?

He showed Wang Jian a sly smile, and said.

"General Wang, what do you think of the cost of salt?"

"Naturally, it is very high. That's why I think it's inappropriate. After all, ten catties of grain can be exchanged for a catty of salt. This is a bit too high. I think that twenty or thirty catties of grain is enough. In exchange for a pound of salt..."

"That's what you thought!"

Ying Changsheng smiled at Wang Jian.

Immediately, he explained to Wang Jian.

"Old General Wang, you don't know something. The price of salt here is quite low!"

"It's more than ten times lower than the previous cost. That's why I'm willing to use such an exchange ratio to exchange for food!"

"really!"

Chen Ping on the side heard the words and immediately echoed, he said to Wang Jian.

"Old General Wang, under the improvement of the Nineteenth Prince, the efficiency of salt production has been greatly improved. It is no longer the same as before. It is no longer necessary to boil water to make salt, but to dry the salt directly under the sun. The cost is very low, it’s totally okay for the Nineteenth Young Master to do this!”

"I see!"

Wang Jian immediately reacted.

The cost is low.

Then, this exchange ratio is much more reasonable.

What's more, it's the year of catastrophe.

It is good enough that someone is willing to send rare grains to Kanto.

Where can I expect too much?
I saw Wang Jian Chaoying Changsheng cupping his hands.

"I understand what the nineteenth son said!"

But Ying Changsheng said with a smile.

"Instead of talking about this, it's better to write a memorial first and report this matter to my father as soon as possible!"

Yeah, such a thing.

Brother Zheng had to make the final decision.

Hear Ying Changsheng's order.

Chen Ping didn't dare to neglect, and immediately brought a pen and paper to Ying Changsheng.

Not long after, a memorial was written.

Ying Changsheng called Yan Yi directly, telling him to hurry up and send this memorial to Brother Zheng as soon as possible.

a few days later.

Xianyang Palace.

Brother Zheng received the memorial.

At this moment, Brother Zheng, who was reviewing the memorial in Zhangtai Palace.

After seeing the method mentioned in the memorial, exchanging salt for food.

Brother Zheng's eyes lit up in an instant.

Immediately, he realized the benefits of this method.

That is, it does not spend money and food in the treasury.

Also, get a lot of food.

Moreover, there was no need for the court to think of ways to transport grain.

Private businessmen would naturally be willing to do this.

For a while, Zheng Ge, who was originally worried that there would be insufficient food in the Kanto, caused the people to rebel.

In an instant, for several days, the big rock hanging in my heart suddenly fell to the ground.

He grinned, his brows that had been locked tightly for a few days stretched out, and then opened his mouth to Li Si in front of him.

"Li Si, take a look at this memorial!"

"promise!"

Li Si nodded hastily, and immediately took the memorial from Ying Changsheng that Yan Yi hurriedly delivered to Xianyang from Brother Zheng, and then looked at it at a glance.

After reading it, he slapped his thigh fiercely, then cupped his hands and said to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I think this method is the best. I think that I can quickly order Baqing to transport grain from the Bashu area to the Kanto!"

"In this way, the drought in Kanto can be solved!"

"Yes!"

Ying Zheng nodded, and then said to the attendant beside him.

"Pass on my order to ask Ba Qing to come and see me!"

"promise!"

The eunuch on the side did not dare to neglect.

After receiving the order.

Then he left Zhangtai Palace.

Then, hurried all the way to the outside of the city.

Ba Qing originally lived in the land of Bashu.

However, after the Great Qin unified the world, in order to enrich the population of Guanzhong, it was even more possible to weaken the strength of the folk tyrants. Therefore, the folk tyrants have been moved to the vicinity of Xianyang all the time.

And a big businessman like Ba Qing is no exception.
