"Sir, how many potato seeds do you have? Can Da Qin be able to farm on a large scale?" Ying Zheng returned to his senses and continued to ask.

If it is only a very small amount of potato seeds, it will not have much effect temporarily.

Chen Qilin pointed to the backyard: "Your Majesty, I have 500 stone of potato seeds piled up in my backyard. You can send someone to carry them back, select good fields for breeding in Guanzhong, and distribute them to the people after a bumper harvest. Promote large-scale sowing in Daqin!"

"I'm on behalf of the Qin people, thank you sir!!!" Ying Zheng clenched his fists excitedly.

"Mr.'s merit to the people is comparable to that of Shennong!" Fusu also clenched his fists.

"Sir, I'm a rude man who can't speak, but I think that Mr. is really a great benefactor to the people!" Wang Ben also said sincerely.

Chen Qilin waved his hand and said:

"Okay, everyone, don't put a high hat on me!"

Then he picked up the sweet potato and shook it in front of Ying Zheng and Fusu.

Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Sir, what is this?"

In the pre-Qin period, there was no sweet potato at all, and Ying Zheng and the others did not know each other.

Sweet potatoes are native to South America and the Greater and Lesser Andres Islands, which are very far away from China. They were brought to the Philippines and other countries by Spanish colonists for planting, and then introduced to China around the Wanli period in the late Ming Dynasty.

If Ying Zheng and Fusu knew sweet potatoes now, it would be hell.

Chen Qilin said to Ying Zheng:

"Your Majesty, in addition to potatoes, I also prepared sweet potato seeds for you. The yield of this food crop can generally reach 3500 jin per mu, or about 35 shi.

It is also very convenient to plant sweet potatoes without picking the ground... Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, the vines on the ground can be used as fodder for pigs, cattle, sheep and horses, and the underground rhizomes can be used as food, which is equally convenient to store. "

Ying Zheng, Fusu, Wang Ben and the others were excited again when they heard what Mr.

It's another fairy's baby bump! ! !

Mr. is really amazing, he is like a fairy!

All at once, take out two grain seeds that are enough to change the fate of a country!

This is not an exaggeration. The people take food as their heaven, and whoever keeps them full is their heaven!

After Ying Zheng has potatoes and sweet potatoes, Daqin will be as stable as a rock!

Chen Qilin confidently said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the prince, with these potatoes and sweet potatoes, Daqin's food problem will definitely be completely solved in the coming year."

"What Mr. said is very true!" Ying Zheng nodded.

Chen Qilin continued: "Now, I will talk to His Majesty about increasing the revenue of the national treasury."

"Sir, please enlighten me, I am all ears!" Ying Zhenghu said with great anticipation.

Mr. is like a god-like existence, and many problems that he thought were unsolvable, he could always resolve them one by one.

Fusu and Wang Ben are also looking forward to it!

Chen Qilin raised the materials on the production techniques of cement, glass, and refined salt (sea salt drying process) in his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I want to cooperate with the Daqin court to establish a state-owned enterprise!"

"State-owned enterprise?"

Ying Zheng, Fusu, and the others were dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Chen Qilin explained: "It's me and Your Majesty who work together to do business!"

In the whole of Daqin, only Chen Qilin dared to say this!

Doing business with Qin Shihuang, the tone is simply heavenly!

"I, I understand!" Ying Zheng finally understood.

"I don't know what business you want to do with me, sir?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Chen Qilin said: "At present, there are three businesses I want to run with Your Majesty: one is salt!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ben became nervous, and couldn't help breaking a cold sweat on behalf of Mr.

Salt and iron are the monopoly of the imperial court!

Since Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang reused the Shang Yang reform, he learned from the prime minister of Qi, Guan Zhong, who brought the monopoly of salt and iron to the imperial court, which made the imperial court earn a lot of money and become rich.

A large part of the revenue of the Daqin treasury now comes from the salt franchise.

The salt franchise is one of the lifelines of Daqin's economy, but Mr. !

How could a monarch as majestic as Ying Zheng tolerate others peeping at the salt business? !

"Sir, salt and iron are the exclusive business of the imperial court, and the salt business is also an important source of revenue for the treasury. I cannot cooperate with you!"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face disappeared and was replaced by seriousness, he shook his head and simply refused.

Although Ying Zheng admired his husband very much, and he helped him a lot, but he would not betray the interests of the country because of this.

In addition, Daqin has mastered the salt technology, and there is no need to cooperate with others!

If someone else said this to Ying Zheng today, he would have told Wang Ben to draw a knife and chop him into meat sauce and exterminate the three clans!

Simply daring and lawless, and the salt business wants to get involved!

Fusu hurriedly added: "Sir, salt and iron are one of the lifebloods of the imperial court. The royal father is indeed unable to cooperate with you. Please forgive me, sir!"

He knew that his husband was very important to Da Qin, and he didn't want the relationship between his husband and his father to become rigid!

The original words were all about this, but Ying Zheng, Fusu, and Wang Ben thought that Chen Qilin would retreat and give up.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qilin took out two small packets and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, first look at the difference between the table salt I made and the table salt in your Daqin, and it's not too late to make a decision!"

He was not annoyed, Ying Zheng's reaction was within his expectations.

Speaking of which, Chen Qilin opened the paper package, and saw a small pile of delicate, white and crystal powder-like objects, which was refined salt.

He opened another paper package, and there were particles of different sizes and some mottled colors inside, which was Da Qin's current salt.

No comparison no harm!

The refined salt and the Daqin salt are compared together, and the two are judged on top of each other.

One is like a virtuous, virtuous, gentle lady like jade, the other is like a village girl with freckles and thick hands and feet...

"This... is this the salt that Mr. boiled?!"

Ying Zheng stared at the tiger's eyes and pointed at Jingyan, saying incredulously.

Chapter 43: A Wonderful Metaphor

As long as you are not blind, you can see the huge gap between the two salts.

Fusu and Wang Ben also had expressions of shock on their faces.

The salt that Mr. boiled is not known from the appearance of how many times more than Qin's salt.

Chen Qilin nodded and said with a smile, "Hmm, yes! Your Majesty, try again, how are the two kinds of salt!"

Ying Zheng regained his senses, stretched out his finger, tapped on the two portions of salt, and tasted the taste of the two.

Teng!

After Ying Zheng tasted it, he immediately stood up, his face full of shock.

"Mr.'s salt, not only looks excellent, but also has a saltiness that far exceeds Qin's salt, making the taste more pure! It's the best, it's the best among salts!!!" Ying Zheng was full of praise.

"Sir, Royal Father, can I try it too?" Fusu asked.

When he saw Ying Zheng's appearance, he couldn't help it.

Chen Qilin smiled and said, "Prince Prince, you can do whatever you want!"

Ying Zheng also nodded.

Fusu tasted the two kinds of salt, and his face was also full of shock.

"Good salt, superb, colorful!!!" He also praised.

"Sir, Your Majesty, I also want to..." Wang Ben wanted to taste it as His Majesty and the Prince were so full of praise for Mr.'s Salt.

With the consent of Chen Qilin and Ying Zheng, Wang Ben also tasted two kinds of salt.

He blinked his mouth wide, gave a thumbs up and said excitedly:

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Qin Yan is like the heavy makeup of the old ladies in the Chu Pavilion (prostitute), who looks rough and sleeps rough; and Mr.'s salt is like a rich family daughter with white and beautiful skin, delicate, delicate, and fragrant. It's not at the same level at all!"

Immediately, Ying Zheng, Fusu, and Chen Qilin all focused their attention on Wang Ben.

"Everyone, I'm a big old man, and I'm also rough in my words. If I'm wrong, don't blame me!" Wang Ben was a little hairy when they saw it, and hurriedly said.

He couldn't afford to offend any of the three in front of him.

Chen Qilin patted Wang Ben on the shoulder: "Marquis of Tongwu, who said you are a big old man, your metaphor is too appropriate! Your Majesty, Prince, do you think so?"

The gentleman said so, Ying Zheng and Fusu had no choice but to nod their heads.

Then, Ying Zheng thought of a key question: "Sir, your salt is very good, but I don't know what the manufacturing cost is?"

If the refined salt provided by the husband is extremely expensive, it can only be sold in the circle of the rich and powerful, the sales volume is not large enough, and it cannot make much money.

Chen Qilin smiled confidently and said: "My salt, the cost is much lower than Qin's salt!"

He learned from the system that sea salt, lake salt, and well salt before the Song Dynasty in China were all obtained by taking brine as raw materials, or by tormenting them with firewood.

The process is cumbersome, consumes a lot of manpower and firewood, the cost is quite high, and the quality is not very high.

However, the refined salt production technique Chen Qilin purchased from the system uses the method of drying with sea salt, and the technology is very perfect.

This technique is easy to operate, the cost is much lower than that of the boiling method, and the quality of the obtained salt is far superior to that of Qin salt.

"Sir, is this...is this true?" Ying Zheng said excitedly.

"Really!" Chen Qilin nodded seriously: "I promise, if Your Majesty cooperates with me, Qin Yan's business will definitely make more money than before!"

What he is saying is the fact that the cost of salt is reduced, the quality is improved, the output is increased, and the price is lowered a little bit, so that people can buy it openly, and the sales of salt will definitely increase exponentially.

By then, both sales and profits will increase substantially.

Chen Qilin has made the cake of the salt market bigger!

When Ying Zheng heard the sound, he was quite moved.

He knew how great it was.

The original resentment disappeared without a trace!

Chen Qilin hit the railway while it was hot: "Your Majesty, you and I will share the profits of the cooperative salt business between [-] and [-] percent. I will provide you with [-] percent and [-] percent. I will provide the technology and you will provide the human and material resources, and be responsible for sales! How?"

Ying Zheng's face turned black!

Sir, you are like a lion!

I want to eat shit!

No matter how skilled Mr. salt-making skills are, and no matter how profitable the salt business is, the price is too high for Mr.

The atmosphere became tense again!

"Sir, you are the No.1 person who dares to propose such cooperation with me!" Ying Zheng said with a serious expression on his face, "Aren't you afraid of my anger?!"

Chen Qilin smiled and wrote lightly:

"Your Majesty, it is often said that when a king is angry, he bleeds, and everyone else is afraid of the king!

But, I'm not afraid, I haven't broken the law!

Cooperation, we must negotiate conditions!

I will add another restriction, that is, I will only receive [-]% of the profit of the salt business from now to the next ten years. After ten years, all the profits will go to Your Majesty. How? "

With just over nine years left, Tiandaolou will leave Daqin with Chen Qilin, and he will definitely not be able to get the profits in the future.

Therefore, he simply made it clear to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard the words.

Chen Qilin added: "If Your Majesty is still unwilling, then forget it, and there is no need to talk about other business, the door is there for you, please don't send it!"

He directly issued an expulsion order!

Others are afraid of you Qin Shihuang, but I, Chen Qilin, are not afraid, Tiandaolou is my territory!

My site, I have the final say!
