Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

However, unlike the other students who were happy, Lu Shu was worried at this time.

So he immediately said to Liu Wudi: "Great sacrificial wine, I think the salt produced in our salt farm is enough now, otherwise it will be a huge disaster."

Everyone was surprised. This was obviously a good thing, but the daily output of 11 acres of salt fields was equivalent to 1460 shi of grain. If the fields are increased tenfold, the yield can be increased tenfold, which is much faster than simply farming today, so what is the big disaster?

Wait, suddenly, all the students calculated in their minds that if it increased ten times, the daily grain production would be equivalent to a stone grain, wouldn't this be a huge disaster?

Especially now that their own strength is not too strong, and their power distribution is not too wide, so much money is enough for Daqian and Bailian to temporarily put aside their grudges and join forces to destroy them.

This is not to say that Daqian and Bailian lack money and food, but that they really lack money and food.

After all, they seem to have a big family and a big business, but they also consume a lot!

In addition, there are many aristocratic families, hall masters, incense masters and the like within them, which one does not have a big family and a big business.

If it were just farming, it wouldn't be enough for their extravagant needs.

In addition, salt and iron are prohibited items and can only be managed by officials. Even if it is White Lotus, it is an industry within the sect and is controlled by the sect leader.

Therefore, this thing is theoretically a strategic material, and it is not easy to play with.

Therefore, under Lu Shu's guidance, all the students immediately understood the problem, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads for a while.

In this regard, Liu Wu also reacted at this time.

Indeed, he took this matter for granted. In his previous life, salt had entered thousands of households and was very cheap.

Even after he came to this world, he knew that salt was very profitable, but he never thought about it in the past, simply because he didn't have the strength to protect it.

As for the establishment of the Han army, it seems that he has expanded. Although he used salt to gain money for the territory and planned a caravan for this purpose, he still made a big mistake, that is, he paid too much attention to the quality of the salt. .

Originally, if the salt was simply processed, it would be essentially the same as the coarse salt now found all over Daqian Bailian, but he wanted to purify the salt so that its quality would continue to improve.

This is actually not a problem, but it is also a big problem.

So much high-quality salt flowing into the market will inevitably attract the attention of interested people.

And the trading firm they established was simply unable to deal with such a thing.

Even if such high-quality salt flows into the market, it is better to use a large amount of coarse salt to flow in, so that you can better protect yourself.

But Liu Wu frowned slightly. He knew that coarse salt very well. Although it was still salt, it contained a lot of impurities and was harmful to the human body.

And this harm is not too obvious, it is subtle.

But then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Yes, he suddenly remembered that in this world, where is the best salt that ordinary people can eat? What they eat is still the kind of salt with toxic impurities.

Besides, that kind of good salt can only be afforded by wealthy people in the family. It is very expensive. Don't talk about eating this kind of salt for poor people. Even if you see it, you may not have seen it.

During this period, the salt they ate was roughly the same kind of coarse salt, but it was only enough to meet the needs of the body and was not used much.

Therefore, Liu Wu's face darkened. He never expected that the poison would suddenly hit him.

But at this level, Liu Wu decided immediately.

"Okay, now I understand what's going on. In this way, the salt we produce now is like this. The quality of these salts is better than the coarse salt in the world, but worse than fine salt and refined salt, which is in the middle and upper grades."

"So, we can split table salt into two parts, one is coarse salt that is more produced, and one is today's improved salt, and then sell them separately."

"At the same time, the sales volume of coarse salt must be much greater than that of improved salt, to show that the secondary salt is not easy to obtain, and the price can also be increased appropriately."

As for the toxicity of coarse salt, Liu Wu simply ignored it. After all, everyone now eats this kind of salt, and there is nothing he can do to change it.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is really powerless to change. Even if he can produce high-quality non-toxic table salt and can maintain it, the salt will not flow into the hands of ordinary people, but will only be used by wealthy gentry. .

Therefore, Liu Wu was relieved to produce this kind of coarse salt.

However, he had secretly vowed in his heart that if his territory expanded to a certain extent, he would definitely promote this fine, non-toxic salt.

When the time comes, he will definitely do more things for the people of the world if he has the strength.

So thinking of this, he said to Shi Deshou: "Produce salt as I just said. As for research on how to make the salt more refined, don't give up. Continue research, not for anything else but for the sake of achievement. Technical reserves to prepare for future implementation in the world."

"Not only that, the fine salt produced is of high quality and can be used for the people in our territory and our army."

"In this way, this can be regarded as the treatment of the common people and soldiers under our governance."

Shi Deshou nodded when he heard this and said: "I understand, I will let people continue to improve the technology. As for the sales issue, I will control the proportion."

"Yeah," Lu Shu couldn't help but nodded when he saw this. Fortunately, everyone was smart and didn't have too much selfishness, so this kind of thing was easy to understand and transparent.

So Lu Shu suggested: "In fact, if we develop better salt, we only need to supply it to the army and military camps. If we supply this kind of fine salt to the people in the territory, it will bring disaster to them. "

"After all, in the past six months, what we have seen is that people are out of control. No one knows whether someone will take risks, rob others, and kill people because they have cheap and good salt."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and they all felt that Lu Shu's words were right.

Even Liu Wu understood the problem Lu Shu mentioned very well, that is, human nature pursues profit.

Because no one knows whether there is such a bold person who would do such a thing in a hurry.

Of course, there are also deeper reasons, which Liu Wu will not talk about.

But what Liu Wu is sure of is that if he sells the fine salt to the people in the territory at a low price and distributes it to these people for free, it may be a disaster for them.

Therefore, Liu Wu nodded to Lu Shu and agreed with him.

However, Lu Shu added: "Actually, we don't need fine fine salt to benefit the people in the territory. This kind of salt is fine now, but not too much. Generally speaking, we still need to use coarse salt."

Now, everyone understood what Lu Shu meant.
