" Selling salt???"
In the main hall of the Duke Lu Mansion, a cry of surprise rang out.
Cheng Chumo held a handful of white salt in his hand. He stared at Zhangsun Chong with wide eyes and said in horror,"Brother Zhangsun, are you crazy? Selling salt privately is a serious crime that will cause you to lose your head!”
Zhangsun Chong curled his lips in disdain and said,""Did I say that we want to sell salt on a large scale?”
"Our salt is of premium quality. It's a special supply. Do you understand?”
Cheng Chumo nodded subconsciously, then suddenly reacted and said hurriedly,"But we…"
"There's no buts. Do you think the quality of the salt is good?”
Cheng Chumo nodded and quickly said,"This isn't just good. This is something that only immortals can eat!”
"After eating this salt, I won't be able to eat the refined salt from before anymore.”
"Isn't that right!"
Zhangsun Chong glanced at Cheng Chumo and said,"We'll give the salt to those uncles to taste now. After they eat our salt, they'll naturally pay the deposit obediently. Won't we have money then?”
"Can the High Duke's business be called business? This is called futures!"
Cheng Chumo was dumbfounded, but his heart was burning with excitement. Thinking about how he could earn a lot of copper coins by selling salt, Cheng Chumo was so excited that his face turned red.
Seeing this, Zhangsun Chong was secretly pleased." With Cheng Chumo running errands for me, I can earn money while lying down. I'm really a genius!"”
Zhangsun Chong coughed and said to Cheng Chumo,"Brother Cheng, it's not too much to sell one catty of salt for a consistent price, right?”
"Not too much, not too much!"
Cheng Chumo was so excited that his face turned red. The quality of the salt was so good that many people would want it even if it was ten strings of money, let alone a regular price. After all, Chang 'an City had no shortage of rich people.'
Zhangsun Chong chuckled." Brother Cheng, we brothers will sell salt together. I'll give you a hundred wen for every jin of salt sold. How about it?"”
Cheng Chumo's heart shook and he calculated in his mind: "One hundred for a catty. There are so many filthy rich families in Chang 'an. Wouldn't I be able to earn dozens of strings of money every day?”
Although he was also the son of the Duke, his Cheng family was born in the army, and his father, Cheng Yaojin, wanted to be thrifty, his monthly salary was only about ten strings of money. If he could earn dozens of strings of money a day, it would be a good thing that could not be found even if he held a lantern!
Cheng Chumo was so excited that his neck turned red. He looked at Zhangsun Chong, touched. He didn't forget about me even when there was such a good thing. This was a good brother!
Looking at Cheng Chumo's expression, Zhangsun Chong was secretly delighted."The cost of Yiguan salt is less than 20 copper coins. I've earned more than 800 copper coins from the round trip.”‘
Thinking of this, Zhangsun Chong suddenly reacted and cursed in his heart,""Da Bao, that little bastard, he can get money just by talking. This year's net income is at least a few hundred thousand!”
"Damn it, even robbing the national treasury doesn't make money so fast!”
"Profiteer!"
Zhangsun Chong suddenly slapped his forehead and sighed in his heart. There was still a gap between him and Da Bao and the others!
However, looking at Cheng Chumo, who was holding the snow salt and laughing foolishly, Zhangsun Chong's mood suddenly improved. Although he was still inferior to Da Bao and the others, he was still quite smart compared to Cheng Chumo.
and...
Zhangsun Chong secretly calculated. A few hundred thousand a year was enough to build half of the palace. With this money, he could hire thousands of craftsmen to build the academy together. This construction speed would simply increase by dozens of times!
At the thought of this, Zhangsun Chong was so excited that he was about to shiver. What he wanted the most now was for the academy to be built as soon as possible!
To be able to build such a miraculous city with his own hands, who would dare say that Zhangsun Chong was a profligate son?
Taking a deep breath, Zhangsun Chong patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder and said in a deep voice,""Brother Cheng, the two of us will work together to spread this salt business throughout the Great Tang. Within two years, we brothers will definitely become the wealthiest people in the Great Tang!”
"Let us brothers work together to become bigger and stronger, and create more glory!”
Cheng Chumo's heart surged as he listened. He nodded repeatedly and looked at the snow salt in his hand. His breathing gradually became rapid.
"Isn't it just money? When I have money, I'll go to Spring Wind Pavilion to look for girls. I'll find ten at a time!”
Unable to control his excitement, Cheng Chumo cupped his hands at Zhangsun Chong and hurried out.
Time was money. If he wasted 15 minutes, how much money would he lose?
Zhangsun Chong looked at Cheng Chumo's back and couldn't help but stretch his body. He then slowly walked out of the Lu Public House.
He looked at the 'dilapidated' Chang 'an Fortress in front of him and murmured,""Looks like I have to go back and read more military books.”
"Our academy's defense can't be worse than this small Chang 'an Fortress!”
