I have to admit that honest people sometimes fool people to get better results.

Because they are telling the truth, feelings without the slightest adulteration are the most likely to resonate with others.

No, not only Yun Ye was moved by the other party's sincere words, but even Li Anran couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

For this simple method of making salt, Li Anran actually didn't see it.

However, although this method must be handed over in the end, how to hand it over must be explained well.

If you can maximize the benefits under the premise of a win-win situation, wouldn't it be better than "selling" this "town-state" level craft cheaply.

Thinking of this, Li Anran bowed his hand and said: "The ancients had a cloud: listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years. ”

"Listening to Uncle Zhang's teachings today, I will definitely remember it in my heart and dare not forget it."

"It's just that this method of making salt, although it is a small way, is a secret technique passed down by the lower master after all."

"Therefore, please ask Uncle Zhang to wait a while, and let me discuss it with my junior brother later, can I?"

Seeing that the other party did not express his position immediately, Zhang Cheng still had some regret and a faint anger in his heart.

As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, protecting the family and defending the country is a belief engraved in his bones.

In Zhang Cheng's view, even if this method of salt making is indeed important, it can be regarded as nothing for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, I think so, yes, Zhang Cheng also knows that the other party did not directly refuse, which is already very face-saving.

Know that you're just a small team. The other party is a disciple of a hidden master.

If this is sent back to Chang'an City, it will definitely be reused by His Majesty.

Such a person has given himself such a formal courtesy, and what else is there to say to be able to do this.

"It's reckless, the two young masters, please." Zhang Cheng, who hurriedly returned the salute, continued to redden.

After handing over the smoked mutton and air-dried beef to the other party, Li Anran walked to the side of the four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle with a puzzled Yun Ye.

"Senior brother, the method of making salt is nothing to us at all, just give it to them, why bother?" Yun Ye, who was a little puzzled by his senior brother's intentions, asked.

"Senior brother. The method of salt production is really nothing to us. If you hand it over, you will hand it over. ”

"But have you ever thought about the importance of salt to a country?"

"If it's just handed over so simply, how can it attract enough attention."

Speaking of which, he looked at Yun Ye who wanted to speak. Li Anran waved his hand and said, "Senior brother." You let me finish first. ”

"You should also know some about the history of Datang. Then you should know that the so-called imperial power is very large, and it is based on the support of those wealthy families. ”

"We handed over the salt making method to solve the problem of salt shortage in Datang, but what will happen after handing it over, have you thought about it?"

"Once we handed over the salt-making method touched the interests of those wealthy families. What do you think will happen to our brothers and sisters in the future? ”

Faced with such words, Yun Ye, who originally wanted to persuade again, suddenly became dumb.

Although he was moved by Zhang Cheng's words just now, it doesn't mean that Yun Ye is a fool.

I didn't expect so much before, but now that I calm down and think about it, don't say it, this matter really has to be weighed carefully.

"Senior brother, then what do you mean......" Yun Ye, who quickly thought of the key point, asked.

Li Anran, who was originally worried that the other party would insist on going his own way, smiled and said tired:

"What I mean is very simple, aren't they short of salt, we can just help them make it."

"But don't disclose the specific method for the time being, don't talk about it and go directly to the heavens, at least someone of weight must come and talk to us."

"Don't look at the things that Senior Brother has brought, but these materials will always run out one day."

"If you don't take advantage of this ready-made opportunity for the two of us to get some family business, how will we gain a foothold in Datang in the future?"

"Senior brother, do you mean to wait for the price to sell?" Yun Ye, who quickly figured it out, rubbed his chin and asked.

"It doesn't matter if you wait for the price or not, I just want to fight for you and me to have some right to speak."

"Otherwise, in the future, anyone can squeeze some benefits from us, and who will reason with us when the time comes?" Li Anran, who patted the other party's shoulder, said with a smile.

Saying this, Yun Ye finally reacted.

Thinking about it, even the Buddha in Journey to the West said that when passing on the scriptures, people should be accepted.

If you casually teach such an important skill, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be treated as a young bully in the future.

The most important thing is that now is the second year of Zhenguan, and the era of cattle everywhere.

As for himself, a novice in officialdom, when he met Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji, it was purely looking for death, and it was estimated that he was bought and still helping the people.

Instead of giving people the impression that they are too easy to bully, it is better to hold the shelves high, not for profit, but to live more steadily in Datang.

Thinking of this, Yun Ye subconsciously felt that his senior brother had to think more about himself, and nodded fiercely at the moment and said:

"Senior brother, you can do what you say, I listen to you."

Knowing that his decision would more or less make this cheap junior brother a little incomprehensible, Li Anran patted the other party's shoulder again and said:

"Senior brother, it's best if you can understand."

"If it's just for Zhang Cheng and them, not to mention the way of making salt, it's nothing to send out the technology of making guns."

"But the Tang Dynasty is not Zhang Cheng's Tang Dynasty, but Li Er and the Tang Dynasty of those wealthy families, so ......"

Although he didn't finish saying this, Yun Ye could hear the meaning of the words clearly and clearly.

"Wait a minute!" Yun Ye, who had just nodded to show that he understood, hurriedly grabbed his senior brother's hand and said with a glint in his eyes:

"Senior brother, do you know the technology of making guns?"

"Cut, what is the technology of making guns, guns, ships, cars, planes, your senior brother and I can do it!" Li Anran, who rubbed the other party's head, said with a smug face.

"I'll go!" Yun Ye, who was completely calmed by this promise, really didn't know what to say except for a look on his face.

"What is this, people can even build small nuclear reactors, compared with those local tyrants from foreigners, these can only be basic skills for brotherhood." Li Anran, who waved his hand, said with a "modest" face.

Yun Ye, who once again found the gap between himself and the other party, did not have the slightest jealousy and worry, but felt quite happy that he could have such a talented senior brother as a backer.

After the two of them had finished talking, they walked back to the campfire.

Seeing that Yun Ye didn't mean to speak, Zhang Cheng, who knew that his plan was mostly in vain, suddenly showed a look of disappointment on his face.

But at this moment, I saw Li Anran and said: "Uncle Zhang, the salt making method is secretly passed down from the lower master, and I really don't dare to pass it on privately without the permission of the master." ”

"But ......"

Originally, when they heard this refusal, Zhang Cheng and the group of soldiers showed a look of loss on their faces, but after hearing it, everyone suddenly perked up as they watched the peaks turn around.

"But what?" Zhang Cheng, who couldn't help but be excited, asked.

"Although we can't pass on this method of making salt privately, it doesn't mean that we can't use this method to make salt?" Li Anran smiled and unveiled the mystery.

After hearing this answer, Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh and jumped up happily.

Yes, if you can't get the way to make salt, wouldn't it be the same if you get salt directly?

What's more, large-scale salt production, it is definitely not enough to rely on the young master in front of him.

With some time, who can guarantee that they won't learn how to do it?

Even if such a thought, for the upright and simple Zhang Cheng, he has to bear the big crime of stealing a teacher.

But for the sake of Datang and the people, let alone this crime, why not ask for your own life.

And this mood also affected other people in an instant, and even the two women who accompanied the army were smiling, as if they had gained some benefits.

After being happy, Zhang Cheng couldn't wait, and directly called two of his auxiliaries and asked them to send the news back to Lanzhou City with full armament and speed.

Thanks to the fact that the team was not dizzy yet, they knew that this matter was very important, and after obtaining Li Anran's consent, they directly divided half of the bag of salt and wrapped it carefully, ready to be used as evidence. (To be continued......)
