Hearing Qin Feng's words, Sun Qian was the first to object.
"Advisor Jun, although you're meticulous and resourceful, when it comes to business, I don't think I'm bad.”
Sun Qian was born into a rich family and had traveled extensively with his elders since he was young. He was quite proud of his business.
Qin Feng smiled and took out a small bag from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"Please take a look. How much can this salt be sold for?”
This small bag of salt was refined by Qin Feng himself using the current salt blocks when he was bored a few days ago.
He did not dare to eat too much of the so-called salt of the Han Dynasty. Not only was it spicy, but it was also poisonous.
Therefore, whether it was for the sake of making money or for the sake of his own life.
Qin Feng was the first to create salt.
The principle of the secondary refined salt was actually very simple. Sand, coarse cloth, and charcoal could be used as filtering materials.
Then, he turned the salt into bittern, boiled it three times, and filtered it three times.
The usable salt was made.
Sun Qian carefully opened the small cloth bag and found a small white particle inside.
The shape was like salt, but the color was a little different.
Lake salt and well salt that were commonly consumed today would have a slight greenish gray color.
In his confusion, Sun Qian picked up a small pinch of salt and put it into his mouth.
Instantly, Sun Qian's eyebrows were twisted into a ball.
Liu Bei and Jian Yong stared unblinkingly at Sun Qian.
"Gongyou, how does it taste?"
Qin Feng took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"Ah, my lord, this is really salt. It tastes very salty, and it doesn't taste spicy.”
Sun Qian licked his lips and sighed.
"Is that so?"
Liu Bei was shocked and quickly picked up a handful and put it into his mouth.
The curious Jian Yong immediately grabbed the salt and tasted it.
After a while, the three of them looked at Qin Feng in shock.
That strange gaze made Qin Feng's heart tremble.
"I say, big brothers, don't look at me like that. I'm not a pretty girl.”
Qin Feng curled his lips and said with a smile.
"Advisor Jun, how did you do it? I've never seen such refined salt before.”
Sun Qian revealed an expression of extreme worship towards Qin Feng as he respectfully asked.
"Hehe, this is a secret technique. You can't say it easily. Let me ask you, how much can this salt be sold for?”
Qin Feng smiled mysteriously and asked.
"This…"
Sun Qian pondered for a while and said," Ordinary lake salt and well salt are about 400 to 500 wen per catty. As for Advisor Jun's refined salt, I think it's worth 600 wen per catty.”
"Yeah, I think it's worth that much.”
After Liu Bei heard this, he quickly nodded.
"Sigh, you guys are still too short-sighted. In my opinion, this salt should be priced at 50 wen per 500 grams.”
Qin Feng let out a soft sigh and suddenly said a price that shocked the other three.
"Advisor Jun, what did you say? Fifty wen? I told you that you don't know how to do business.”
Sun Qian curled his lips and said disdainfully to Qin Feng.
This time, Liu Bei was not in a hurry to speak.
He understood Qin Feng. This military advisor of his had never spoken lightly. He must have his reasons for saying this.
"Advisor Jun, fifty coins is the biggest profit. Where does this come from?”
Towards Qin Feng, Liu Bei had slowly gotten used to his mysteriousness, so he asked shamelessly.
"Gongyou…"
Qin Feng glanced at Sun Qian as if he was looking at a retard and said indifferently,""I want to ask you, you set the price so high, who do you plan to sell it to?”
"Of course, it's to whoever can afford it. There are still many rich families in the world who buy refined salt at this price.”
Sun Qian answered without thinking.
"However, have you ever thought about how many people there are in the aristocratic families and how many poor people there are in the vast world?
If we set the price at 50 copper coins per 500 grams, although it's ten times cheaper than the current price, this price is still affordable for many commoners.”
As Qin Feng spoke, his eyes revealed a deep and mysterious light. After sweeping his gaze over the three of them, he spoke,
"My salt must not only be affordable to the common people, but also affordable and daring to eat.
Firstly, it was a small profit but quick turnover. Secondly, it could also be considered to be beneficial to the people.”
After Qin Feng finished speaking, Liu Bei and the other two revealed a thoughtful expression.
Especially Liu Bei. Qin Feng's words had affected a dream that had always been in Liu Bei's heart.
Bringing benefits to the people and allowing the people of the world to live better was Liu Bei's long-cherished wish.
"There's one more thing that's most important. I've calculated the production cost of this refined salt. If all of this is taken into account, the cost price of each jin of refined salt will not exceed 30 wen.
As for the salt merchants and dukes in other places, their production costs are at least 150 wen per catty, and the quality of the salt is not as good as ours.
"This way, after we sell it for 50 copper coins, they won't be able to lower the price to the same level as us because they don't have this kind of secret technique.
In the long run, no one would be able to sell the salt in their hands, and they would only rot in their hands and become trash. Under such circumstances, the blow to their financial resources would be immeasurable.”
After Qin Feng finished speaking,
Liu Bei, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian's breathing became more and more rapid.
