Fang Xuanling's expression was serious. If this salt appeared in the market, the entire Great Tang would be greatly impacted!! This kind of salt could not be easily leaked out.”
The imperial court collected a large amount of tax revenue from salt and iron every year. The money that was truly collected from agricultural taxes was not much. If the salt industry suffered a blow, the consequences for the entire Great Tang could be imagined.
The funniest thing was that the refined salt that Fang Xuanling was so cautious about was actually something that Li Chen had made himself out of boredom.
Wasn't it just filtering? This was a technique that even elementary school students in the future would know. As long as the residue in the coarse salt was filtered out, the snow-white refined salt could be obtained after boiling it!!
As expected, knowledge was wealth. This sentence was right. If Li Chen was a hooligan who knew nothing, even if he transmigrated to the Great Tang, it would be useless. He did not know anything and did not know anything. There were some things that he did not dare to bring out, or else he would die a miserable death.
Bullshit, if this salt didn't enter the market, how would Li Er make money?
A bucket of rice was only five wen, and a bucket of coarse salt was five hundred wen. If this refined salt was placed on the market, there would definitely be people selling it for ten strings of coins per bucket. If this wasn't profiteering, what was it?
Except for the grassroots, who would buy that bitter, astringent, and poisonous coarse salt? (The bitterness here refers to the impurities in the salt that are not filtered well. It is not the salt itself.）
"No impurities, white as snow, no saltiness. Eating it won't harm the body..."
Li Chen continued to bewitch Fang Xuanling, causing him to breathe like an old bull and his entire body to tremble. "What are the conditions?"
There were some things that had to be discussed, or else they would not be able to come to an agreement. Li Chen would risk everything to put this salt on the market. At that time, the entire Great Tang would be greatly impacted and its empire would be endangered!!!
"The engagement..." Li Chen's eyes were full of smiles. Fang Xuanling didn't want to participate, right? Let's see if you'll still refuse now.
Fang Xuanling's face darkened as he said in a deep voice,""This old man will take responsibility! He only needed the Fuma to prepare a gift.”
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to jump into the pit with his eyes closed, even if he had to go through a mountain of blades and a sea of flames.
That's right, why bother with so many things? Don't you know that I, Li Chen, am most afraid of trouble?
Smiling, Li Chen raised his hand and raised his index and middle fingers."I have two requests. The first is for both parties to cooperate. I will be in charge of refining the snow salt. In the future, the royal salt mine will be responsible for sending it over. Everyone will handle their own matters.”
"Snow salt?"
Fang Xuanling nodded. This experience was as white as snow, and it was worthy of this name. As for Li Chen's first request, Fang Xuanling considered it for a moment and sighed,""Speak. After you are done, this old man can enter the palace to report to His Majesty. This old man can't make the decision on this matter and still needs His Majesty to make the decision.”
Fang Xuanling was only the prime minister, not the emperor. Such a major event required Li Er to make the decision. He could only convey the message.
"Second, I want 30% of the profits. During this period, other than the designated ministers, no other important ministers or princes can be involved in the sales of snow salt.”
This was what Li Chen hated the most. On the surface, it was something that belonged to the royal family, but in the dark, there were all kinds of cards and food. Some people ate in a very ugly way. In history, there were almost no corrupt officials in the Zhenguan period. Li Chen only wanted to say one word to this teacher who fabricated history, Pei!!
So what if it belonged to the royal family? There were many people who ate it. If they were to deduct it, who knew how many people would be deducted and how much money would be deducted. Let's not talk about the distant ones, just the iron. Who knew how much the Zhangsun family had eaten from it. Li Chen believed that as long as Li Er was determined to investigate, who knew how many people from the Zhangsun family would be beheaded.
Raising such a request was to prevent a second Zhangsun Clan from appearing. It would not be good if he came up with ideas and was disgusted instead. Li Chen even thought that after a period of time, he would seize Tie Du from the Zhangsun Clan and see how arrogant Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Chong were.
The old fox had been causing trouble in the open and in the dark for a long time, making him unhappy.
Thirty percent might not seem like a lot, but if the snow salt could be sold throughout the Great Tang or even beyond its borders, then thirty percent would be a terrifying amount. It would be a great loss if Li Chen wasn't there, and if Li Er was there too much, then thirty percent was the best figure.
"Thirty percent?" As expected, Fang Xuanling subconsciously frowned. This 30% profit was a huge business opportunity. Moreover, this was equivalent to stealing meat from the emperor's mouth.
Fang Xuanling was furious."Why do you need so much money? If I'm not wrong, there's less money in the treasury than you.”
Li Er's two million strings of strings had shrunk by more than half.
"You can sleep until you wake up naturally and count money until your hands cramp. If you can't do these two things, you can't be considered rich.!”
“........”
Fang Xuanling was speechless. Other people either pursued power or beauty, but Li Chen wanted money…
"Right, if Your Majesty is interested in selling this thing, you can discuss it with me.”Li Chen took out a few bottles of Erguotou that he had prepared beforehand and placed them on the table."This bottle is for His Majesty. This bottle is for Minister Fang, this bottle is for Duke Lu, and this bottle is for Duke Yi.”
Li Chen would only give one bottle to those who were close to him. There was no way he would give anyone else a bottle. All of them could just stand aside. If you still want to buy Erguotou, prepare your money and buy it.
Fang Xuanling had long wanted to try this so-called Immortal Brew, but unfortunately, Li Chen hadn't sold it to the public yet. In addition, he didn't have the money to buy it, so he could only endure it.
He didn't expect Li Chen to have some insight and know how to be tactful. He didn't act as a matchmaker for nothing."Then I won't decline. I'll convey your words to His Majesty verbatim and make preparations."”
