Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

He doesn't have the means of Zhao Pu, so he can only slowly gain qualifications.

Perhaps, when he is 50 years old, he will be eligible to enter the three provinces.

And for the Wei family

Liu Bai just made friends briefly.

He couldn't see how outstanding people were in the Wei family.

However, Wei Bingchen in front of him surprised him a little.

"As far as I know, the Wei family does not have the ability to obtain refined salt, and the local salt fields and salt mines in the south of the Yangtze River may not be able to support such a large output."

Liu Bai waved his hand, signaling Wei Bingchen to sit down.

Wei Bingchen kept his mouth shut to Dou Xiaoci and Li Yuanli, but he didn't hide anything from Liu Bai.

The Liu family's industries spread all over the world.

Thirty boatloads of refined salt, if you want to check, you can find out the origin of these goods in a few days.

"Speaking of it, it's also fate. In fact, in the second year of Zhenguan, my Wei family discovered an overseas island in Huainan Road. It seems that it is somewhat similar to Dongzhou Island. The territory is so wide that it belongs to Dongzhou Island. Several times, it is a pity that it is not suitable for human habitation”

With just this one sentence, Liu Bai immediately understood it.

The Wei family discovered a 'gold mine'!

During the Southern Dynasties, rumors of "Xi Rang" had already appeared in the world.

Calculated, it is probably a hundred years earlier than Dongzhou Island.

Also at the estuary of the Yangtze River, a piece of land was formed by alluvial sediment.

In the initial period, the area was very large. After a hundred years of continuous alluvial accumulation, it has reached more than seven times the size of Dongzhou Island today.

Of course, within a few years, the area of ​​Dongzhou Island will be far exceeded.

After all, the potential of Dongzhou Island is endless, otherwise, there is no way to become the best in the world later.

As Wei Bingchen said, although the island is closer to the land, and even hundreds of years later, it will be connected to the land, but there is no way for people to live there.

Because there are too few farmlands on the island where crops can be grown.

In the former Sui Dynasty, someone planted thousands of acres of Hudou on the island, so it was named Hudouzhou.

And in later generations, that place has a more famous name.

Huai salt production field!

After the Song Dynasty, the price of salt was brought down due to the Huai salt production field!

Especially in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, with the maturity of the salt-making process, the Huai salt production field became the largest salt production area in the world.

As a result, the later salt gangs and Cao gangs were derived.

Jianghuai salt merchants have also become one of the most powerful forces in the world.

The Wei family who controls Hudouzhou is a hundred times luckier than picking up a gold mine!

There will always be a day when the gold mines will be exhausted, but the salt mines will not stop even if the Wei family dies.

Seeing Liu Bai not speaking, Wei Bingchen suddenly felt a little guilty.

He found that Liu Bai's eyes were full of intriguing meanings

"Young Master Wei, those thirty boats should be private salt?"

Wei Bingchen's heart broke, and he smiled embarrassingly, and said, "That's why I came to Dongzhou Island to meet Mr. Liu. In a word, those [-] shipments are not considered private salt."

Liu Bai closed the document spread out in front of him, gently put it aside, and leaned back.

"Your father knows that Liu doesn't intend to touch the salt industry, so why do you want to force others to make things difficult?"

In fact, if Liu Bai intends to enter the salt industry, the Wei family has no qualifications to enter at all.

It's all because the Liu family can't touch the salt industry.

Even though Yantie Guanying exists in name only, it still has a name after all.

The Liu family has the iron ore business in Youzhou, and has cooperated with the general supervisor, so they can't be too greedy.

Grasping Yantie is the way to death!

Li Er can't be afraid, but Liu Bai can't be careless.

At the same time, if you master the lifeblood of two empires, once you get rid of it, the Liu family and Li Er will not even think about living well!

"My father knows the truth very well. The Liu family can get [-]% of the profit just by issuing a salt quotation. Why don't you do it?"

Liu Bai shook his head, and said: "Liu has a solid relationship with you, this Yanyin, you can't open it!"

Wei Bingchen's expression changed.

He didn't expect that Liu Bai would not be tempted by [-]% of the profit!

This doesn't seem to match Liu Bai's character.

Who doesn't know that the master of the Liu family even dared to beat the emperor in order to earn money.

Back then, in order to open up the market in the Western Regions, they did not hesitate to trigger a war between two powerful empires

In this world, is there any money that he dare not earn?

"but"

Liu Bai changed the topic, and continued: "Liu can show you a clear way, and guarantee that you will get [-]% of the Wei family's profit, and it will not be in vain."

Chapter 1530 This guy is getting more and more shameless

In Li Tai's tent.

Dou Xiaoci took a hard-boiled egg and rolled it on his forehead, gasping for air.

He was open for business, and it was not very polite to meet customers with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Li Yuanli also held an egg.

As the governor of Wu County, it seems inappropriate to see his subordinates with a bruised nose and swollen face.

Li Tai was lying on a rocking chair with a mat, holding a straw fan in his hand, shaking it gently.

"They're all grown-ups, and it's not embarrassing to learn how to fight like others."

Dou Xiaoci and Li Yuanli looked at each other, hummed at the same time, and then turned their heads away.

"Here comes the chicken soup!"

Chai Lingwu was holding a casserole, and put it on the table with a 'bang', and pinched the earlobes with the index and middle fingers of both hands.

"Burn me to death!"

Seeing that the three people in the tent were not enthusiastic, Chai Lingwu was not happy.

"This is the chicken soup I stewed with my own hands, and it is a free-range chicken that was raised free-range when I went to the island. You can't buy it with money outside!"

Li Tai looked at Chai Lingwu and raised his chin at Li Yuanli.

Chai Lingwu understood, filled a small bowl of chicken soup, and said with a smile, "Use it first, uncle!"

They are about the same age as Li Yuanli, but a generation younger than Li Yuanli.

Chai Lingwu and Dou Xiaoci wanted to call him uncle, and Li Tai wanted to call him uncle.

In the past, even if they had the nerve to call, Li Yuanli would not dare to agree.

Among these few people, even Li Yin, the youngest, was not something Li Yuanli could afford to offend.

It's different now.

Dou Xiaoci, a junior, is naturally at a loss when he fights with his elders.

In the future, we will always have to deal with each other. If the governor of Wu County is really run on, no one will have a good fruit to eat.

Li Yuanli glanced at the chicken soup, sighed, and said, "Then I'll give the second brother some face!"

"that is that is"

Chai Lingwu smiled and handed over the chicken soup.

Then, under the table, he stomped on Dou Xiaoci vigorously.

"Ouch!"

Dou Xiaoci screamed and glared at Chai Lingwu.

"what are you doing?!"

Chai Lingwu's mouth twitched a few times.

This guy is really clueless.

If it wasn't for the consideration of Datang Gold Group, why would the majestic Marquis of Pingyang humble himself to a governor?

Li Yuanli's title of 'King Xu' is worthless in their circle.

And the status of an elder is even more of a fart.

"Uncle take it easy, I'll take this guy to pee!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged Dou Xiaoci and ran outside.

When he came outside the tent, Dou Xiaoci was full of reluctance.

"What are you afraid of him doing? Let's do it together. If you don't believe me, you won't be able to beat him to death! The sky is falling, and I will bear it alone. I promise not to let my brothers be implicated!"

To Dou Xiaoci, Chai Lingwu is not so gentle.

Snapped--

With a twitch of his head, Dou Xiaoci's arrogance disappeared without a trace.

"I've never seen anyone more stupid than you. How about falling out with Li Yuanli for thirty boats of salt?"

Dou Xiaoci was taken aback.

He rubbed the back of his head, and carefully approached Chai Lingwu.

"Could it be that you have a better way of making money?"

During these days, Dou Xiaoci had a very difficult time.

Almost all of his wealth has been invested in the bottomless pit of the Datang Gold Group.

If Liu Bai hadn't transferred a sum of money from other places, the gold exchange business would have stopped long ago.

Without money, nothing can be done.

Dou Xiaoci doesn't want to lose this rare opportunity to rise.

Seeing that Chai Lingwu and the others in the front line all achieved success, Dou Xiaoci felt as anxious as a fire.

The profit of [-] boatloads of salt is enough for the Datang Gold Group to last for more than half a year.

How could he let go of such a great opportunity?

"I don't have many good ways to make money, but the guy inside has it!"

Dou Xiaoci blinked and said, "You mean, Li Yuanli?"

Chai Lingwu whispered a few words in his ear.

Dou Xiaoci trembled all over, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

However, the next moment his eyes brightened!

Without Chai Lingwu's urging, Dou Xiaoci turned his head and got into the tent.

He lay down at Li Yuanli's feet with a 'plop', hugged Li Yuanli's thigh, and howled desperately!

"Uncle, I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

Chai Lingwu stood outside the tent, smashing his mouth.

"This guy is getting more and more shameless"

After waiting for Dou Xiaoci to finish howling, he walked in Shi Shiran.
