"Well, that’s all for today … just now, those words were just a piece of advice from my peers. Just listen to them if you want …"
With that, Wang got up from his seat and several pairs of complicated eyes full of shock and worry went straight out of the lobby …
Two days later, everyone was worried and waited for a rumor to spread quickly to Datong Prefecture.
"Datong Prefecture hopes that all grain merchants can work together with Company commanders mansion and Qi Xin to tide over the immediate crisis at such a critical moment … Company commanders mansion, a grain merchant who is willing to cooperate with Company commanders mansion, will send troops to ensure safety … Company commanders mansion, a grain merchant who does not agree to cooperate with Company commanders mansion, can’t guarantee that the refugees will not be rioted under the limited forces."
There is no guarantee that the refugees will not riot, which means that they may be attacked by refugees and become scapegoats in Company commanders mansion to make an example of those families that have been wiped out …
So rumors have just spread to Datong Prefecture, and those grain merchants who still want to shake hands with food and wait for food prices to skyrocket can’t sit still.
In order to ensure his family’s safety, he rushed directly to Company commanders mansion and begged Company commanders mansion to buy his own food.
So in just three days, it was successfully completed that Wei Zheng gave Wang Peng 100 thousand loads of grain
Not only that, some grain merchants may have been scared by Company commanders mansion’s series of means to sell their grain to Company commanders mansion earlier and even take the initiative to cut prices.
As a result, Wang Peng received hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Company commanders mansion, not only to buy an estimated 100,000 tons of grain, but also to buy a full 25,000 tons, which is enough for hundreds of thousands of refugees for ten days …
The food problem has been temporarily solved. I am going to the south to buy the first batch of food and sea salt for Wei Zheng. The Zhous also set off a few days ago … After hearing the latest news from Kelly Y Zhou’s report, Wei Zheng’s nervousness was finally released.
After a long sigh, he said to Kelly Y Zhou, "Now I can finally make money safely …"
"Strategist, haven’t you been complaining that there is not much silver in Company commanders mansion’s treasury? Today I will conjure up a cash cow for you. With this cash cow, we can earn a steady stream of silver that allows you to count your money and get cramped …"
Kelly Y Zhou’s eyes lit up and his face was incredible. He asked, "General, you didn’t fool me … Count the money and count the cramps in your hands. How much silver is there? You can really conjure up a cash cow for me …"
"Of course …" WeiZheng a face of firm affirmation.
Then Kelly Y Zhou looked at him with a pair of expectant eyes and asked, "I ask you, strategist, what are the prices of crude salt and refined salt in the current market?"
Although Kelly Y Zhou’s face flashed a little puzzled, he still readily replied, "If the general buys salt directly from Jiangnan or Shandong, a load of coarse salt is the most expensive, and it costs one or two silver …"
"Salt is expensive …"
"Our base of refined salt comes from Shaanxi, but with the riots in Shaanxi, Shaanxi refined salt can no longer enter the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas to need three taels of silver and one load of refined salt. Now it has soared to twelve taels of silver and one load. Even so, it is difficult to buy a little refined salt in the market …"
Weizheng smiled and answered,’ If I tell you that I have a way to turn crude salt into refined salt and turn it into a very low pure load of refined salt, even less than one hundred articles, do you think this business is a cash cow … "
After hearing Wei Zheng’s words, Kelly Y Zhou’s horse in his mouth is calculated. "Crude salt becomes a silver and a silver. Even if it is transported and pure, it will be two silver at most … If you can really turn crude salt into refined salt, you can earn two silver … Several times the profit is of course a cash cow …"
Speaking of which, Kelly Y Zhou’s face has been covered by a strong excited expression, staring at a pair of hot eyes and asking Wei Zheng, "General, do you really have a way to turn crude salt into refined salt …"
"Of course, I’ll take you to the backyard now to see how coarse salt becomes refined salt …"
Weizheng with Kelly Y Zhou just walked into the backyard and walked over with respect and reported, "My Lord, what you want, my brothers have already prepared everything …"
"Good that we now …"
Wei Zheng directed a pack of coarse salt to be quickly dissolved into a barrel of burnt well water.
After the crude salt in the well water reaches saturation, the face is taken out and made into a filter screen for layer-by-layer filtration.
When the impurities can no longer be seen in the last layer of cotton cloth on the filter screen, a whole bucket of brine is poured into the cauldron again.
Then, the final step of taking refined salt is to evaporate the water in the brine to separate out refined salt.
Of course, there is a very important step in the evaporation process, that is, the brine is constantly stirred to avoid precipitation of refined salt and agglomeration again, which will affect the quality of refined salt.
In this way, Kelly Y Zhou’s stomach was full of confidence, and his eyes were full of expectation and suspicion. The water in the cauldron became less and less, and some powdered salt particles also appeared at the bottom of the cauldron.
When the well water in the cauldron was completely evaporated, a scene that shocked Kelly Y Zhou appeared …
Two hours ago, it was coarse yellow coarse salt with large particles. At this moment, it has turned into powder white refined salt without impurities … Yes, it is refined salt, and it is still the same as refined salt …
Kelly Y Zhou knows all kinds of crude salt and refined salt in the market. At present, the refined salt in a large pot can be sold for a load of eleven taels of silver …
Seeing this, Kelly Y Zhou could no longer restrain his excitement and shouted at Weizheng, "Great General … With the method of coarse salt and pure salt, we will never worry about silver again …"
"I’m sure that if we keep the pure secret of refined salt and Shaanxi continues to go in such a mess, the whole refined salt market will be monopolized by us at the latest one year …"
"Now I finally know that we don’t lack salt. What is the company commander’s adult’s one-time asking Zhou’s family to buy us so much crude salt …"
Speaking of which, it’s a little impatient. Kelly Y Zhou suggested to Wei Zheng directly, "The company commanders’ adult I think we should immediately set up the crude salt pure refined salt workshop … and produce the refined salt as soon as the crude salt bought for us by Zhoujia … and we can earn silver earlier in Company commanders mansion …"
Facing Kelly Y Zhou’s burning eyes, Wei Zheng definitely nodded and answered, "Fang is definitely going to be established, not only to be established, but also to directly establish a very large-scale Fang. Your Fang can be pure with a thousand loads of refined salt a day …"
"One thousand bears …" Kelly Y Zhou gasped and asked Wei Zheng at the same time.
"General, one thousand loads of refined salt a day, so there are not ten thousand workers in this workshop …"
Wei Zheng affirmed without hesitation, "Yes, it means ten thousand workers … If the market needs refined salt, the whole workshop will be expanded … In a word, I want us to produce refined salt and continue to monopolize the whole dynasty …"
Seeing that Kelly Y Zhou nodded his head in recognition, Wei Zheng continued to wake up. "In addition to facilitating the production of refined salt, there are still several problems that we must pay attention to when we establish the pure salt workshop with this cash cow in our own hands forever …"
"First, pure refined salt must have a lot of water. All refined salt workshops must establish places with sufficient water sources to ensure sufficient water in the process of refining salt."
"The second pure process of refined salt is very simple to say. If the news gets out, others can learn what they have learned. We must ensure that the pure workshop is safe …"
"that confidentiality of the site selection of the pure salt workshop is also a factor that must be consider."
"In addition, we can keep the production process secret … as you just saw, the whole process of salt refining is divided into several steps. One person can do things in one step, and it is forbidden to touch him for several steps, so that we can keep the pure secret of experience as long as possible."
"Well, I ask that’s all for the time being … what else can you think about for yourself …"
"In addition, before Zhoujia bought the first batch of crude salt, the experience pure workshop should be established and can’t be idle … Yulai pure crude salt can temporarily go to the market to buy a small amount of refined salt and earn silver while waiting for Zhoujia to buy us the first batch of crude salt."
Chapter two hundred and thirteen Real profiteering
An hour later, although Kelly Y Zhou had left the backyard, the excited expression on his face did not dissipate at all, and the whole person was like picking up a gold ingot with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng continued to speak surprisingly and said
"Strategist this scared you …"
"After the establishment of the refined salt pure workshop, we can earn more than three million and two thousand silver in a year … of course, even if we further increase the output, our big refined salt market will earn five million and two thousand silver in such a big year …"
"Five million taels of silver seems like a lot, but when we have more industries and armies in the future, this five million taels of silver may not be enough for half a year, and we must have other means to make money."
Kelly Y Zhou’s excited face was shocked again …
Looking at Wei Zheng with a full face of expectation, he asked, "General, you mean you still have his means of making money …"
Weizheng nodded his head and affirmed, "Of course there are …"
"Compared with crude salt, I said that this method is the real profiteering. Not only that, this means of making money is to earn money from officials, landlords and rich people. If we manage well for one year, it will bring us four or five million taels of silver more than ten million taels …"
"Ten million taels of silver …" At this time, Kelly Y Zhou’s face became dumbfounded by shock.
After he reacted from the shock, he looked at Weizheng’s eyes. In addition to looking forward, he had unconsciously become a little more eager and hot.
And asked eagerly to Wei Zheng’s face, "General, what means of making money … is so severe that you can earn ten million taels of silver a year, but also earn money from officials, gentry and landlords …"
Wei Zheng unhurriedly replied, "It’s very simple, just two words …"
"Glass …" Hearing these two words, Kelly Y Zhou’s face was shocked and quickly replaced by doubt.
Looking thoughtfully at Wei Zheng, he said, "As far as I know, a one-foot square piece of glass is shipped from Europe to our country, and it can be sold for at least 120 silver. Even a small piece of glass can be sold for 120 silver in a slap … and it is still valuable. After all, these glasses have to be shipped back from far away Europe, and the bareboat has to go for half a year."
"If we can seize this opportunity at that time, there will be no danger, but if anyone dares to look at Company commanders mansion’s warning, I can definitely say that those families that have been wiped out are these human fields."
