Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

The war in the north is tense, and countless people in the Zhou Dynasty have set their sights on the northern border.

Some timid people even started to move from the south, fearing that they would be the first to suffer when the northern territory was broken.

On the contrary, Xiangjun did not seem to be affected.

The promotion of the "Young Crops Law" has brought the relationship between the government and the people closer.

And what makes countless people excited the most is Zhou Zheng’s salt factory and paper factory!

With the full support of the Su family, Zhou Zheng no longer has to worry about money issues and continues to expand the scale of the factory.

When absorbing and measuring the labor force, it gives many people the opportunity to work.

In order to give people real peace of mind, the factory's settlement method is daily settlement first and then monthly settlement!

That is, for the first seven days, wages will be paid as normal every day.

Starting later, wages will be distributed on a monthly basis.

In this way, the last worries of those people who were still in the wait-and-see stage were dispelled.

They don't know what a factory is, or even the production process, but this doesn't affect their enthusiasm at all.

Because the factory is paying them on time.

This was something that was unthinkable before.

Even if you help the landlord farm the land, you will only get a few mouthfuls of food at most. Where will you see the money? And there are still so many!

For a time, people were very enthusiastic.

With the influx of a large number of laborers and the continuous transportation of materials from far and wide, the salt making plant was quickly operational.

Batch after batch of high-quality salt began to be sold in various places in Xiang County.

The market price is even ridiculously low!

Of course, the ultimate beneficiaries are undoubtedly the people.

As a result, the people's recognition of Zhou Zheng increased.

However, this period of time has been hard work for Lan Xi and others.

But Zhou Zheng knew very well that Su Ming had to take the greatest credit here.

As the helmsman of the Su family, Su Ming was born to be an expert in business. Although the factory was a new thing, in Su Ming's opinion, it was just a way to scale up and streamline the previous small workshop.

Now Su Ming has reunited with Su Xun'er and Lan Xi. In order to make up for his years of debt, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to helping Lan Xi manage the salt factory.

And taught Su Xun'er step by step.

In this way, he kept the entire salt factory in order.

There were many details that even Zhou Zheng himself had not thought of.

"Your Highness, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

On this day, Su Ming came to Zhou Zheng specifically and spoke with some embarrassment.

"Clan Chief Su, we are a family."

"If you have any orders, just say them directly."

Although Su Ming did not disclose his previous relationship with Su Xun'er and Lan Xi, Zhou Zheng did not dare to neglect it.

After all, this is his father-in-law in name only, so he naturally has to respect him a lot.

Besides, if it weren't for the Su family's help this time, how could Zhou Zheng have been able to get the salt plant up and running so quickly! ?

"If that's the case, then I won't hide it."

After coughing slightly, Su Ming's face became more serious.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope that His Highness can hand over the salt business to my Su family."

Having been in business for generations, Su Ming didn't understand the importance of Zhou Zheng Salt Factory.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that poisonous salt could be turned into refined salt!

Moreover, the efficiency of Zhou Zheng's salt production plant was far beyond his previous knowledge.

"Chief Su, salt is by no means a business."

Zhou Zheng sighed softly. He had already guessed that Su Ming would make this comment. To be precise, anyone with a business mind would have such an idea.

After all, salt is a real necessity, and the price is far lower than that of the five major families. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is cabbage price.

Even if the profit is very low, it can’t support the large volume!

"Don't worry, Your Highness, our Su family can guarantee that we won't make a penny without using salt!"

However, Su Ming's words made Zhou Zheng look surprised!

Don't make a penny! ?

"The reason why His Highness asked the government to sell it was simply because he was worried that businessmen would raise prices."

"But this also has many disadvantages."

Su Ming's words made Zhou Zheng nod.

The government is responsible for the sales of salt, which has increased the workload of government personnel. During this period, Gu Jiang did not even return home, let alone other officials! ?

Secondly, it is impossible for the government to penetrate into every corner of Xiang County, which means that people have to travel long distances to places designated by the government to buy, which is naturally painful for some people living in remote areas.

"Right now, my Su family has taken over most of the business in Xiang County."

"There are many stores of my Su family in many places."

"Your Highness can completely leave the sales of salt to my Su family."

"This can greatly reduce the workload of the government and make it easier for more people to buy salt."

For the salt business, Su Ming thought about it for a long time and felt that the method he mentioned was completely feasible.

"Clan Chief Su, what a great trick!"

Zhou Zheng soon understood the key to why Su Ming kept yelling at him even if he didn't make any money!

He wants to use the sales rights of salt to expand his sales channels to the greatest extent possible!

Let the Su family's business truly gain a foothold in every place in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

After all, salt doesn't make money, but it can make people really recognize the Su family's brand!

Then, make money elsewhere!

"This kind of business acumen, even in the world where I live, will definitely become a business giant!"

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but applaud secretly.

In this world, free things are the most precious!

"Clan Chief Su, you can actually tell me directly."

Su Ming is Su Xun'er's father and Zhou Zheng's father-in-law.

In addition, Su Ming has provided Zhou Zheng with tens of millions of taels of silver in just one month!

If he spoke directly, it would be difficult for Zhou Zheng to refuse.

But Su Ming was able to come up with this way to get the best of both worlds, obviously showing his attitude to Zai and Zhou Zheng.

"But I'll keep this in mind."

Although Zhou Zheng did not agree directly, these words undoubtedly gave the Su family hope.

At present, the Su family and Yin family, Ji family and Han family are all falling out.

The three major families are suppressing the Su family overtly and covertly.

Coupled with the loss of tens of millions of taels of silver, the Su family was already a little breathless in the face of the joint suppression of the three major aristocratic families.

If they want to survive, the management rights of salt are the Su family's best trump card!

With this thing, the Su family really has the confidence to go head-to-head with the three major families!

"If the Su family has any difficulties, you can tell me."

"I am still the prince of the Zhou Dynasty after all."

Zhou Zheng saw Su Ming's difficulty and then spoke seriously.

"Let's talk business. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Su Ming shook his head directly.

In the end, things in the market can only be solved by the market.

Once the court is involved, the nature of the matter changes!
