Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

When he thought of Li Shimin's abnormality today, Chu Mo felt uncertain and decided to put the salt farm matter on hold temporarily to avoid any complications.

When Li Shimin saw that Chu Mo was really planning to leave, he immediately became anxious.

However, there was someone more anxious than him.

When Cheng Yaojin saw Chu Mo suddenly leaving, he quit immediately.

He blocked Chu Mo's path and shouted: "Brother Chu, Brother Chu, my Uncle Chu, who has offended you again? Just say something, don't just give up and leave."

Chu Mo glanced sideways at Li Shimin and said, "I'm in a bad mood today, and I don't think this place is suitable for opening a salt farm, so I'd better find another place."

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Chu, we have something to discuss. If the place is not suitable, let's look for it again."

"You tell us the location of what you need, and we will find a way to solve it for you."

Seeing the eager look on Li Shimin's face, Chu Mo was now convinced that the woman Chu Xin did not know how to make salt.

Then, he rolled his eyes and said: "Now, I am not going to hide it from you. Making salt requires some sophisticated instruments, and making such instruments requires purchasing a large amount of bronze."

"I've been short of money recently and can't pay the fee for the time being, so I plan to wait until I have some spare money before making preparations."

Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Li Shimin patted his chest and said, "Xiao Chu, this little difficulty is nothing."

"You tell me, whether you want bronze or silver, I will give it to you directly."

Chu Mo blinked his eyes and said: "I need more bronze, and I'm afraid you won't be able to part with it. The cost of buying it with silver is too high. If possible, I would like to try using other things to replace the bronze."

Li Shimin, who had just received Chu Xin's support, was already wealthy. After listening to Chu Mo's words, he waved his hands indifferently and said: "Xiao Chu, it's nothing that money can solve. Tell me, how much bronze do you want?" Get it for you."

Chu Mo, who originally thought that Li Shimin was a poor man and would not agree to his plan, immediately understood when he heard the other party's tone that Li Er must have gotten rich.

So he said again: "If I figure it out myself, it will probably only cost 10 taels of silver. If I buy bronze and build it directly, it won't be possible without 100 million taels."

"Moreover, spending one million taels may not solve the problem at once. If not, you may have to spend money in the future."

When Li Shimin heard this, his face suddenly grew long.

If tens of thousands of taels of silver could solve the problem, he wouldn't even blink.

However, 100 million taels will be spent all at once, and you will have to continue spending money in the future.

No matter how expensive a bucket of refined salt is, it will cost 100 million taels. It cannot be produced in a short time.

What's more, you will have to spend money in the future.

When he thought about the cost issue, Li Shimin was instantly frightened and said directly to Chu Mo: "Brother Chu, how long do you think it will take for us to develop the equipment ourselves?"

Chu Mo pretended to sigh and said: "It's hard to tell. If it's fast, it will be ten days and a half month. If it's slow, it may not be possible in three to five years."

When Li Shimin heard this, he became anxious again: "How can this be done? If this is the case, the cost of developing equipment alone will be an astronomical figure. 10 taels will definitely not be enough."

Chu Mo nodded: "That's why I plan not to start construction for the time being, and wait until I have saved a certain amount of money before starting production."

Li Shimin was extremely confused now, and he didn't know what to choose for a while.

Cheng Yaojin on the side saw the two of them entangled in a tangle and immediately shouted: "Brother Chu, why don't we produce and develop equipment at the same time?"

"Each of our three families will give you more than 30 taels of silver to buy bronze, and then use the proceeds from selling refined salt for research equipment. In this way, will our investment be reduced? You will not be so stressed? "

Chu Mo rolled his eyes at Cheng Yaojin. Sometimes this guy was so confused, and sometimes he was as smart as a ghost.

What he said just now was just to fool Li Shimin and make him stop thinking about refined salt for the time being. Unexpectedly, he was inadvertently destroyed by this big boss.

Sure enough, after Li Shimin heard Cheng Yaojin's words, he immediately clapped his hands in agreement.

"Xiao Chu, Zhijie is right. We can research while producing. I believe in your ability to develop the best equipment."

Chu Mo rolled his eyes, and then said: "I'm sorry, let alone 30 taels now. Even if it is 3000 taels, I can't get it out. Otherwise, you can advance the money first. Then I will have enough money. Return it to you."

When Li Shimin heard this, he was secretly happy. His guess was indeed correct. Chu Mo was really in trouble.

Cheng Yaojin said with a serious face: "Brother Chu, you also know how much money I have, old Cheng. In this way, I will pay 50 taels here, and the rest..."

As he said that, he turned to look at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was stunned when Cheng Yaojin looked at him, and then became furious.

This bastard thing, look what I did. In just one sentence, 20 taels are gone. You have emptied your family fortune, but what about me?Could it be that you also want me to empty out my family fortune?I still have a large family to support.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly flashed, and then he looked at Chu Mo with a smile and said:

"Xiao Chu, since you can't pay for this expense now, then, since Lao Cheng and I are out, will our investment increase?"

"As investment increases, will the shares also increase? Otherwise, how much can you give us?"

Chu Mo chuckled: "Old Li, I didn't eliminate you, but with less than 20 taels of silver, you still want to increase your shares? Are you just thinking about it?"

"Let me tell you, you are the ones who urged me to carry out this salt farm. I can do it now or not."

"If you want to use some money to force me to cede my equity, then the big deal is that I will postpone the salt farm matter."

Seeing what Chu Mo said so decisively, Li Shimin was a little unsure. Just when he was thinking about how much of Chu Mo's words were true and how much was false.

Cheng Yaojin on the side spoke again: "Second Master, isn't it just 20 taels of silver? If you take some items from your private treasury, it will be more than this."

"If you are reluctant to part with it, then I, Old Cheng, can find someone to help you fill in the hole."

When Li Shimin heard this, he became even more angry.

What do you mean by filling in the holes for me?Co-author: Is it my fault that I don’t have money to buy bronze?It's obvious that Chu Mo didn't pay a penny, but you didn't say a word and just stared at me, right?
