Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li You smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, if you want to ask, just ask."

"I shouldn't be able to ask anything. After asking, all of them will be discarded. Send it to the Ministry of Industry to repair the dam."

Hearing this, Yu Huatian didn't say anything, just nodded and retreated.

When he was about to leave, Li You suddenly remembered something again, and quickly turned his head and said to Liu Bowen: "Berwen has to trouble you with one more thing, and that is to break down the machinery and prices of the two workshops!"

"Try to be as detailed as possible. The total price should not exceed 50 yuan, and the technical amount should be around 20 yuan."

Liu Ji nodded, but then asked with some doubts: "20? Is it too much?"

"Those aristocratic families should unite to place a lot of orders at once, so wouldn't our losses be great!"

However, Li You smiled and shook his head. Although Liu Bowen was resourceful, he still lacked some experience in business.

Li You has read a lot of books on business during this period, and his theoretical professional level is already comparable to that of many masters. Compared with those masters, what is lacking is only practical experience.

This time, the workshop sales plan is the first step in Li You's practice.

"Berwin, you also know that in fact, we don't want to do a one-off business this time, but want those aristocratic families to become tool people for us to make money for a long time."

"So let them take advantage of it at the beginning. Our goal is to build more workshops."

"When their workshop is established, we will boil the frogs in warm water, so that they will hand over more profits to us without knowing it."

"And you think, if they place an order for more workshops at once, that means more deposits."

This time Liu Bowen understood.

This long-term fishing for big fish is his forte. Li You gave a little hint, and Liu Bowen immediately understood.

"My lord is still amazing, I'll go prepare now!"

However, what Li You didn't expect was that the first person who planned to build a workshop was Cheng Yaojin.

And Cheng Yaojin dragged Wei Zheng over here.

Seeing Li You, Cheng Yaojin looked anxious.

"King Yan, Lao Cheng came here with money. Lao Cheng wants to build a paper-making workshop!"

Hearing this, Li You understood in an instant.

The main purpose of others building workshops is to make money, while Cheng Yaojin is entirely for his own personal problems.

Li You smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it just to build a workshop, why did you bring Mr. Wei over here!"

"Don't Mr. Lu know how busy Mr. Wei is at Yushitai?"

Cheng Yaojin also smiled embarrassedly and said, "Isn't this something unpleasant when I came last time?"

"I thought that my brother had a good relationship with King Yan, so I forced him to come here."

Li You also smiled. He actually admired this big man with an upright personality.

"It's fine for Lu Guogong to come directly in the future. We don't know each other without fighting."

"I respect Mr. Wei because he is upright, for the country and for the people. Duke Lu is equally upright, so he is naturally someone I respect."

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin also laughed, and he went on to say: "Actually, it wasn't exactly Lao Cheng who brought the elder brother here. In fact, when I told the elder brother about this time yesterday, the elder brother also wanted to come to you. of."

"Master Wei? You want to find me?"

Li You turned his head to look at Wei Zheng with some surprise.

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "I know that the fire at Shence Mansion will hit you hard this time, but you are still young, King Yan, so you shouldn't just give up."

"Lord Wei, this king has not given up."

"And didn't your Majesty also say that Shence Mansion will also rebuild its own papermaking and printing workshops. I really just want to promote the technology."

However, facing Li You's explanation, Wei Zheng's expression did not change at all.

"My lord, that's not what I'm talking about."

"I'm talking about the Salt Supervisor!"

"Do you know that in just one day, those aristocratic families made His Majesty agree to the order to expand the scale of the Salt Prison."

"In the future, there will be salt inspection agencies in known salt mountains and salt lakes."

Although Wei Zheng didn't finish what he said, Li You was confused by what he said.

"Isn't it a good thing to expand the salt inspection, so that more people can eat high-quality salt?"

"It's a good thing, why is Mr. Wei still in such a hurry?"

Wei Zheng shook his head again and said, "King Yan doesn't know that the new branch of the Salt Supervisor is not all people from aristocratic families."

"When the time comes, won't the prince's advanced technology be in vain for those aristocratic families!"

After understanding what Wei Zheng regretted, Li You turned to comfort him: "Master Wei, you are wrong."

"We studied the purification of table salt, what is the purpose of establishing a table salt watchdog, do you remember?"

"Of course I remember." Wei Zheng said with a serious face: "Of course it is to let the common people eat salt, so that they can eat cheap and good salt!"

"That's right, isn't it a good thing that the Salt Supervisor's technology has been learned by the aristocratic family?"

Li Youyi clapped his hands and explained to Wei Zheng: "Don't look at this time we handed over the technology, but at the same time we let the Salt Supervisor out of Chang'an."

"Although the Salt Supervisor is no longer part of the Shence Mansion, the supervisor is still my uncle. As long as he is still there for a day, the price of salt sold from the Salt Supervisor will definitely not be high."

"In this way, even if the aristocratic family can produce salt of similar quality, the price will definitely not be so high."

"So from this point of view, isn't our original intention achieved, and it's the aristocratic family's own willingness to descend."

"Besides, we didn't point to the Salt Supervisor to make money in the first place, so it's not exactly what we want to let those aristocratic families make their own money."

Wei Zheng digested Li You's words for a long time before he came to his senses.

"My lord, what you said sounds right, but will these aristocratic families really do what you want?"

"Wouldn't they have learned the technology, obstructed the supervision of salt production, and then used high-priced salt to monopolize the market?"

Li You smiled again and said, "Of course not. If only one family gets this technology, perhaps Master Wei's idea will become a reality."

"But what if every family can get that?"

"The quality of the salt produced by this new technology is not much different, so there will not be a situation where one company dominates. If everyone participates in the competition, the price will naturally come down."

Although Wei Zheng also wanted to understand this truth, he still felt that the risk was too great.

"My lord, although this is the truth, but..."

At this time, Cheng Yaojin said: "Brother, don't be upset, anyway, the Salt Supervisor has been handed over."

"We'll just wait and see."

"If those aristocratic families obstruct the salt production supervision and continue to monopolize the salt price, Lao Cheng will apply to be the supervisor of the salt supervision department. I will see who dares to obstruct it!"
