He wanted to pour cold water, but instead of cooling Su Quan, he made him laugh even more arrogantly, and Liu Xing suddenly had a bad idea in his heart: Okay, if you want to laugh, the master will make you laugh through your belly. Let you be a big housekeeper who sees the money, and laughs down completely......

Thinking of this, Liu Xing's face sank, and he pretended to be deep and said: "You just laugh like that with such a little money, if the master tells you another trick to make money, do you want to laugh directly to the ground?" ”

Hearing this, Su Quan also stopped laughing suddenly, and looked at Liu Xingdao with wide eyes: "Marshal, do you still have a way to make money?" Speak quickly, tell me quickly. As long as I can make my military treasury rich as soon as possible, even if I make my belly laugh, I will die happily. ”

"Come less, I'm not willing to be this big housekeeper who loves money like life." Smiling playfully, Liu Xing said: "My other way to make money is the salt behind me." ”

Puzzled by this, Su Quan stared at the mountain-like salt with wide eyes, and said with a hesitant face: "These salts can indeed make money, but they are already in the calculations of his subordinates, why does the marshal say that he is another way to make money?" ”

Smiling playfully again, Liu Xing said: "The salt we market now is this kind of salt with many impurities and coarse grains. This kind of salt is usually not the whole salt that can be released after it is put into the pot. Moreover, the slow release of salt often affects the taste of many dishes, you should know this? ”

Granular salt, even in boiling water, releases salt much faster than crushed salt.

Previously, Liu Xing had asked the chef of the Marshal's Mansion to try to crush some grains of salt and make a mountain feast for those Xi merchants. The effect is that after some dishes are directly served on the table, Liu Xing asked the cook to put the salt in. As a result, after the Xi businessmen ate it, they shouted again and again, "When it is delicious, it is far better than other places".

Originally, Su Quan thought that it was the women of the Orion family in the Marshal's Mansion who were good at making mountain delicacies, so that the Xi businessmen who had long been accustomed to eating mountain delicacies were amazed. How could he know that, in fact, Liu Xing was already thinking about it at that time, so that salt could continue to increase its value and bring more benefits to the Red Turban Army.

So when Su Quan asked in confusion, Liu Xing suddenly put the grain of salt in his hand into his palm, and then quickly used his whole body strength. "Snap" slapped down, and when I opened my palms again, I revealed all the powdered and crushed salt like corn flour.

grabbed a small grain of salt with his backhand, and at the same time handed the crushed salt and the grain of salt to Su Quan together, Liu Xing said: "Come, you lick it with your tongue and see which ** makes you taste the salty taste." ”

In astonishment, Su Quan lowered his head as he said, and now licked and chirped a few times on the grain. Then spit out a few mouthfuls of saliva to wash away the taste left over from the salt in your mouth.

Then he licked the crushed salt again, and just as he took a mouthful of the crushed salt, he suddenly widened his eyes and swallowed the crushed salt violently, and exclaimed, "They are all salt brought together, is there any difference between the two?" Grain salt is actually not as salty as crushed salt. ”

Seeing his surprised look, Liu Xing shook off the grain of salt in his hand, took out another handful of powder in his arms, sprinkled it on the broken rocks, and said to him: "Come, you can taste the broken salt I added again." ”

With a suspicious face, Su Quan involuntarily lowered his head and licked the broken salt in Liu Xing's palm. When he looked up, he stared at the white powder on Liu Xing's other hand with a look of surprise and suspicion.

After carefully studying for a moment, Su Quan asked, "Marshal, are these the shells you crushed the day before yesterday?" Why is it that after these shells are put into the minced salt, not only does it lose its fishy smell, but it makes the minced salt more salty, and some umami is hidden in it? ”

With a wicked smile, Liu Xing shook off the two-day powder in his hand, stood up from the ground, and said, "These are not simple shells, but things purified from shells." These substances can not only increase the umami and saltiness of crushed salt, but also allow people who eat this kind of crushed salt all year round to no longer have to worry about suffering from thick neck disease, and can also enhance the body's ability to resist disease. ”

When he said the benefits of this kind of minced salt, Liu Xing secretly said something else in his heart at the same time: How can you know the effect of this iodized salt. You know, if you follow the original historical trajectory, it will take many years to become known about it.

Eating iodized salt to enhance immunity and prevent thyroid disease to the greatest extent was not known and mastered by the medical community for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that he had applied chemistry knowledge in his previous life and studied medicine in this life, he might not have thought of using the routine of deep processing of salt to increase the income of salt sales......

"This, this, this salt can still prevent disease?" In Liu Xing's secret evil smile, Su Quan once again stared at the broken salt that was thrown to the ground by Liu Xing, and said in surprise: "Then isn't this broken salt available for medicinal purposes, and can't it also be sold as medicine?" ”

Shocked to hear this, Liu Xing couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart: I'll go to your grandfather's! The master only knows that iodized salt can prevent thyroid disease, and I haven't heard of anyone selling iodized salt as medicine.

Salt is one of the fundamentals of human existence, and it would be too deceptive to be sold as medicine. If there is really such a person, the master can only give him eight words: mercenary, lack of virtue in the five elements!

Thinking about this, Liu Xing's face sank and said: "Salt is salt, even if it has anti-disease effects, it is also salt, and it cannot be sold as medicinal materials." I figured out this method of adding shells to minced salt because I wanted to increase merit, not to do things that lacked virtue, and I don't want to sell this salt as medicine. ”

Hearing Liu Xing's words, Su Quan suddenly woke up, realizing that his mercenary intentions were a little excessive and had angered Liu Xing.

Frightened, he hurriedly turned around, bowed down and said, "What the marshal said is very true, you can't sell salt as medicinal herbs. That's too lacking in virtue, too lacking in virtue. ”

Still with a gloomy face, Liu Xing stared at Su Quan and said, "This kind of salt needs to be processed in large quantities and needs a lot of fine grinding. I saw that the windmills on the mountain had been milled in three days, and the windmills should not be idle, so they could be used to produce these salts all year round by replacing the mills under those windmills with fine mills. I have roughly calculated that at least 2,000 catties of this salt can be milled in a day.

The conveyor belt on the mountain can also be slightly modified, and the 2,000 people outside the windmill are responsible for packing and packing, and the salt is turned into our exclusive commodity to sell. As for the name, I also thought of it, so I called it 'Immortal Valley Refined Salt'. Each catty of refined salt can at least increase our income by seven to eight pieces of the Great Song Dynasty official money outside the valley. ”

"An increase of seven or eight dollars per catty?" After hearing Liu Xing say the amount of income that could be increased, Su Quan's eyes widened again and flashed greedily.

Looking up at Liu Xing with a smile, he said: "You can produce two thousand catties a day, and you can increase seven yuan per catty." Marshal, in the past month, this salt public high school alone can increase its income by more than 100 yuan. If it's in the calculation of our dragon coins, hehe, it's great to say a few hundred silver coins a month! ”

"You have a belly of two thousand pounds?"

Looking at him coldly, Liu Xing said with a disdainful look on his face: "As long as you can let those merchants in Hebei supply me with shells continuously, I believe that it won't be long before the people of Hebei and Hedong will come to buy this refined salt because of its low price, sufficient taste, and ease of hiding and storage." You think about it, how the people of Hebei and Hedong buy our refined salt, how much must be produced in the valley in a day, and how much income can be increased by the public middle school. ”

"Before the war, Hedong sold at least 500,000 catties of salt every day, and the number of Hebei estuaries was far more than that of Hedong."

The smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and Su Quan muttered while calculating: "In millions of catties, as long as we can make the required salt, we can increase our income by at least 7,000 yuan per day!" Oh my grandfather! Ha ha...... Marshal, you have found another huge new way of wealth for our army! Haha......"

At the end of the words, Su Quan burst out laughing.

Seeing him laughing, Liu Xing poured a scoop of cold water on him again: "Even if there are millions of catties of sales waiting, we have to take precautions and strictly prevent profiteers from using this refined salt to raise prices." Therefore, anyone who sells this refined salt can only be under the control of Tian Cewei, and will successively operate the 'Wynn Grain Store' franchise in various places in the joint venture of government and business. Don't just think about making money, but ignore that profiteers have opportunities to take advantage of, and I don't want the master's good things to become a new weapon for profiteers to exploit the people. ”

Seeing Su Quan stop laughing in astonishment and look at himself, Liu Xing continued: "And before this refined salt has seen the benefits, you have to assign me manpower and increase the windmill to sixty on Dongshan." And on the west mountain and on the north mountain, sixty crosses shall be made for each of them. That's a lot of investment, and you have to invest first to slowly wait for the benefits to be recovered. ”
