Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"Khans big and small in East Turkic do not get along with you, do you know that?"

Fang Yuan continued to ask.

"know."

Li Shimin held back the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.

Similarly, he not only knew that the two were at odds, but also knew that the two had been at odds for many years.

The imperial court will also take advantage of this to intensify the conflict between the two sides, and try to join forces with the little Khan.

However, none of these can be used as the decisive factor for the elimination of the Eastern Turks, and the imperial court still had other difficulties.

"Then you know everything, what questions do you have?"

Fang Yuan was speechless.

The right time, place and people are all there, what else do you not understand?

The East Turks, which have been snowed for two years, are now weak and weak, and no longer have the ability to sweep the world.

"What about the money?"

"Where's the food?"

"The situation in East Turkistan is not good, but the situation in Datang is not good either."

Li Shimin couldn't help being angry.

Fighting a war not only depends on the opponent's situation, but also depends on one's own situation.

Now the court is poor, the treasury is empty, the internal treasury is empty, there is no money and no food, how can we fight?

"Money is not simple?"

"If you have money, you can buy food."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

If there is money, there will naturally be food.

There are not many places affected by the drought and locust plague in the Tang Dynasty.

As long as you have money, you can buy food from other places.

"I haven't asked Mr. Zhou Zun how to get the money yet?"

Li Shimin said with a dark face.

He felt that he was about to be pissed off by Fang Yuan.

Since I took office for two years, I have been thinking about how to make money to fill the treasury.

But in the past two years, each year has been a small amount of income and a large amount of expenditure, and it is impossible to fill it up.

Fang Yuan said it well, money is not easy?

Is money so easy to earn?

"I asked the young master to apply to the imperial court for the right to operate salt and iron. Don't you know?"

Fang Yuan glanced at Du Miaoyan, frowned slightly.

Du Miaoyan is only the young head of the royal firm, so it should be Li Daye who applied for such a big event, right?

"Yes, and then what?"

Li Shimin said with a dark face.

More than knowing, it is my permission.

But then, how to make money?

It's not that the imperial court didn't sell salt and iron, nor did they see sudden wealth.

"Then, just sit back and wait for the money."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

There is a little imbalance in my heart.

The right to operate salt and iron is not as simple as the right to operate.

Although salt and iron are controlled by the imperial court and the family, they are nominally monopolized by the imperial court.

To obtain the right to operate salt and iron from the imperial court, in addition to paying huge taxes, they have to give [-]% of the profits to the imperial court.

Fang Yuan is not happy to pay taxes and another [-]% to the imperial court, but this is a problem of the times, so he can only go with the flow.

"You mean you can make a lot of money with salt?"

"Fang Zhouzun, there are many salt sellers in the world, but there is no one who can make the court wait for the rich."

Li Shimin mocked.

Salt is a very important tax.

But salt is not only controlled by the court, but also by the aristocratic family.

Because everyone sells, it is impossible to make a lot of money by selling salt.

Unless ordinary people buy your salt, you can really make a huge amount of money.

Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng also didn't understand, they also looked at Fang Yuan and wanted to hear Fang Yuan's explanation.

However......

"Boss Li, this is not something you need to worry about."

Fang Yuan shook his head and stopped answering.

He was the one who answered the other party for half a day, and he got tired of it.

And just a businessman, don't need to know that much.

Li Shimin snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't want to ask Fang Yuan any more, he turned his head and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

But suddenly, a thought popped up in his heart: Could it be that Fang Yuan pushed out special salt?

Based on what I saw in Wuling County, Fang Yuan can make ice with saltpeter, and can also make things like mattresses and tea, and also produce special salt, so it's no problem, right?

"Fang Zhouzun, do you have a special salt?"

Li Shimin suppressed his excitement and asked.

"Ah."

Fang Yuan hummed casually.

"What salt!?"

Li Shimin was even more excited.

Based on his understanding of Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan's salt must be very special.

Even if there are a lot of salt sellers now, once Fang Yuan launches it, it will definitely occupy most of the market.

Salt is a necessity. If you can occupy more than half of the market, you are really waiting for the rich, the real rich.

"Business secrets, no comment."

Fang Yuan shook his head, not intending to tell.

Fine salt, such as salt, does not exist in this era.

Once the fine salt is rolled out, the coarse salt will slowly be replaced.

"Don't, Fang Zhouzun, tell me."

Li Shimin asked.

The appetite has been lifted, how can there be no comment?

Now that the imperial court is attacking Eastern Turks, what they lack most is money and food.

If it can be confirmed that Fang Yuan's sale of salt will bring back huge benefits, the attack on Eastern Turks can begin.

This is not only about salt, but also about the war between the two countries, and about the peace of the people in the world.

Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng were already shocked, they did not expect His Majesty Tangtang to ask Fang Yuan like this.

Fang Yuan still shook his head.

Slowly sip the tea in the cup.

"Fang Zhouzun, you sell salt, you must need the help of the Royal Trading Company, right?"

Li Shimin was in a hurry for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

Fang Yuan asked Du Miaoyan to apply for the right to operate salt and iron, probably because he wanted the Royal Trading Company to help sell it.

And Fang Yuan can only choose the royal firm to help sell, because it represents the royal family and can ensure safety.

After all, Fang Yuan is just an assassin, it is hard to say whether he can guarantee safe trading in the state under his jurisdiction.

If you want to sell nationwide, you must have a strong team, and the Royal Firm is undoubtedly the most suitable partner for cooperation.

"good."

Fang Yuan nodded indistinctly.

The interests involved in fine salt are too great for ordinary people to protect.

Otherwise, when he was in Wuling County, Fang Yuan had already started making fine salt for sale.

"According to the contract, you want to give [-]% of the profit to the Royal Firm, right?"

Li Shimin felt that he had guessed right, so he continued to ask.

Fang Yuan nodded again.

According to the contract, the major commercial firms need to contribute [-]% of the profits to Fang Yuan for the things they independently operate in Liaozhou.

And if Fang Yuan launches products and sell them all over the world, Fang Yuan only needs to give them [-]% of the profits, and the manpower and material resources are not counted on Fang Yuan.

"So in this calculation, you need to give [-]% of the profit to the imperial court, and [-]% to the royal firm, for a total of [-]% of the profit!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Fang Yuan pursed his lips, but did not answer.

This is where it's pretty fucked up, and where there's no way around it.

Some things cannot be manipulated by individuals, and they can only cooperate with each other to give part of the profits.

"Fang Zhouzun, what do you think?"

"You tell me how the special salt is made, and the manufacture and sale are all in charge of the royal firm. You get [-]% of the profit, how about it?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

He doesn't mind [-]% profit and [-]% profit.

What he wants to know more is how Fang Yuan's salt is made.

If you can really sit back and wait to get rich, then promoting the world will be infinitely profitable.

"really?!"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, interested.

There is a big difference between [-]% profit and [-]% profit.

Moreover, the production cost of fine salt is not small, requiring a lot of manpower and material support.

In this era, the strength of the family can compete with the royal family, and a governor himself is not enough in front of the family. It is very difficult to ensure that the fine salt is not taken away. According to Li Daye's method, the risk is transferred.

"really!"

Li Shimin nodded solemnly.

Fang Yuan was silent, thinking about its reliability.

Li Shimin didn't urge him either, quietly waiting for Fang Yuan's decision.
