Fast time travel: Cannon fodder female supporting role she quit

"Your Majesty, look." Lin Wan took out a jar from her sleeve, opened the lid of the jar and handed it to Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang looked at the snow-white particles inside and had a guess in his mind. He calmed down his excitement and asked, "What's this?"

"Fine salt, Your Majesty, you can give it a try." Lin Wan put a smile on her face and dipped some with her index finger. She licked a little first and looked at Qin Shihuang with clear eyes. In fact, Qin Shihuang would believe her even if she didn't have to do this. Because Qin Shihuang felt unprecedentedly relaxed after taking her antidote pill, and he believed that she would not save him and harm him again.

Qin Shihuang dipped some with his fingers and put it in his mouth. "Isn't it bitter?" His eyes were slightly stunned. "Is this the salt that your future generations will eat?" Although the salt they eat now is bitter, he believes that after 2000 years of development, future generations will No more bitter salt.

Qin Shihuang looked at Lin Wan with excitement, wondering if she knew how to remove the bitter taste from salt.

"No." Lin Wan shook his head. Qin Shihuang was a little disappointed, but he thought it was normal. After all, she looked so young, so it was normal not to know. But Lin Wan's next words rekindled his hope, "This is I made it using Da Qin’s salt, and the refining method is also very simple.”

"Your Majesty, we can use this salt to sell, and we can also authorize the sale of salt to merchants and let them sell it. We are responsible for making it." As soon as Lin Wan finished her words, Qin Shihuang denied it, "No, salt is If these indispensable things are controlled by those businessmen, it will not be conducive to the development of the country."

Qin Shihuang knew that Lin Wan wanted to develop the Qin Dynasty, but once her idea was implemented, it would push the Qin Dynasty into a place of eternal disaster. Once people do not eat salt, their bodies will become weak and weak, especially the troops stationed at the border. If they do not eat salt, they will have no strength. Block enemy attacks.

Sure enough, she is still younger.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say first. If you think it still doesn't work after listening, then we will think of another way." Lin Wan said without changing her expression, "What I mean is to release a few quotas for selling salt. These quotas are put out to bid, and the businessmen are allowed to run for them, and the one with the highest bid gets it. In this way, we can earn an extra amount just from selling the quotas, and it is still a lot of money."

"Of course, if they want to have this quota, they must abide by our regulations. They need to sell according to the government's pricing. They are not allowed to increase or decrease the price at will. Once the quota is found to be cancelled, the money used for bidding will not be refunded."

Qin Shihuang's eyes moved slightly. It seemed possible to do this, but others were not stupid. How could they ask for this quota if they couldn't make money? Those businessmen were not stupid but also very smart.

"They are not allowed to change the price of salt in Daqin, but they can sell it outside the customs. Those merchants travel all over the country and have caravans. They take the salt out not knowing how popular it will be, and after it goes out, these things are theirs alone. For some copies, it’s not up to them to decide how much they will sell for?”

"How can you ensure that there will be businessmen who will buy this quota?" After all, his reputation as a tyrant is not guaranteed, so how could those people come to his door?

Lin Wan chuckled, "This requires His Majesty to take action." Qin Shihuang signaled her to continue, "Use the name of Huangshang to attract them, and issue a notice. Whoever takes the photo will receive the title inscribed by His Majesty the First Emperor himself." A plaque for the Emperor of Qin Dynasty."

Lin Wan didn't need to ask Qin Shihuang to figure out the rest. He looked at Lin Wan with admiration in his eyes. He didn't expect her brain to be so good at such a young age.

"And we hold the secret recipe. Whether they are auctioning quota or purchasing goods from us in the future, part of the money they earn must fall into our hands, and we do not need to spend a lot of manpower to open it. Business.”

After all, if you want to do business outside the customs, you have to be taken by a caravan, but not everyone is willing to take you there. After all, if you take one more person there, there will be one more person competing with them for business. Although they can form their own Caravans, this is too troublesome, and the initial investment time is too long. By the time the trade route is opened, they have already made several waves of money by relying on the merchants who took the quota.Qin Shihuang kept thinking about the feasibility of this matter in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He just gave up a few plaques. This was a business that was sure to make money without losing money.

"can."

Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh, "Your Majesty, please let people go out and post notices. You must let everyone in Daqin know. The more people come, the more we will make." Nowadays, transportation is inconvenient, and we can make big Those who come all the way to Xianyang are all wealthy people. Even those who do not participate in the election will bring a lot of income to Xianyang.

And not everyone can participate. You must pay an admission fee before participating in the auction. Of course, the money is non-refundable regardless of whether you get a spot, and she can collect a fee from the ticket.

She suddenly remembered something. There was no flour in Daqin. She was going to get the flour now, and when those people came, she would surprise them and make some food with the flour. She didn't believe that they wouldn't take the bait.

"If you go by what you said, it should be a guaranteed profit. But what is the method of making salt you mentioned?" Although Lin Wan's plan is very good, if making salt is very troublesome, then all this There are still problems in implementation.

Lin Wan smiled and said, "It's very simple. You just need to boil it with water, then filter and crystallize it, and the result will be refined salt without bitter taste." Qin Shihuang couldn't believe it and said, "So simple?"

"Well, that's why I said this is a sure-profit business. Whether it's the initial bidding or the subsequent supply, it will be profitable." Lin Wan nodded and said, "Why don't your majesty come with me to take a look." She knew Qin Shihuang didn't believe it, seeing was believing, and nothing he said was as good as what he saw with his own eyes.

When Qin Shihuang saw with his own eyes that Lin Wan had boiled the originally bitter salt into refined salt without bitterness, he was in a good mood. He quickly ordered people to post notices and sell refined salt in Xianyang, but this salt The selling price is more than one and a half cents more expensive than the original bitter salt, and it is sold exclusively to nobles and wealthy people.

Qin Shihuang planned to make a fortune before the auction, and then set the price of refined salt to a price that ordinary Guizhou people could afford after the auction.

Although refined salt is now expensive, there are still countless people buying refined salt. After all, whether they are nobles or businessmen, they are not short of money. Why would they eat salt with a bitter taste when they can have better salt.

Before the auction even started, Qin Shihuang had already made a lot of money.

Lin Wan also had someone make a stone mill to grind flour. Qin Shihuang specially approved a palace for her to live in. Whatever she wanted, she could just give the order and someone would prepare it and deliver it to her. It can be said that she was a little palace maid. Life is extremely nourishing.

No, after she told the workers, the stone mill was soon delivered to her, and she put the wheat she had prepared on it to grind it.
