After negotiating the deal.
That was naturally the issue of signing the contract.
The transaction between fields and land required the relevant departments of the Ministry of Revenue to go through the process before it could be officially traded.
But with Fang clan's two brothers here, this was not a problem.
Normally, normal people would need around seven to eight days to complete the transaction, but these two brothers of Fang clan completed it in half a day.
That night, he signed an agreement with Li Ke and handed over 800 mu of fertile farmland, 800 mu of good land, and the salt mountain to Li Ke.
After obtaining the land, Li Ke began to ask the farmers to plant improved rice and sweet potatoes.
As for the situation in Salt Mountain, Li Ke went over personally.
Another few days passed.
Fang clan brothers appeared again.
The two brothers looked much better than before. They looked like they had been living well recently.
Indeed.
Ever since the salt mountain was sold, Fang clan's two brothers were praised by the family.
After selling it for 30,000 yuan, Fang Xuanling poured a glass of wine for the two brothers that night and took a few sips.
The two brothers were naturally very happy to receive their father's affirmation.
"You came just in time. I have something to tell you.”
"Xiaolan, go and call your Miss over.”
Li Ke was enjoying life under the shade of the big banyan tree in the courtyard.
On the table beside him where the teacups were placed, there was a large bag of white things that had been opened.
It was very fine, finer than sand. It was crystal clear and beautiful. When the wind blew, it could even blow away a lot.
However, Li Ke, who was lying on a self-made armchair, did not care. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Boss Li, what is this white thing?”
Fang Yi Zhi asked curiously.
He lowered his head and looked at the bag of white things curiously.
It was so small and so strange that the two brothers had never seen it before.
"There's no hurry. You'll know later.”
Li Ke smiled indifferently.
This was the edible salt that he had just refined using the fine salt extraction method rewarded by the system.
It was very different from the well salt, sea salt, and vinegar cloth used by the Great Tang, and outsiders would not be able to immediately guess it.
"Li Ke, you were looking for me?"
Zhangsun Zhexian, dressed in white, slowly arrived.
Her body emitted a beautiful scent of lily perfume that made people addicted.
She was like a fairy from the immortal world who had descended in front of everyone.
Even the two Fang brothers, who often saw Zhangsun Zhexian, revealed infatuated gazes.
"I have something good for you to try.”
Li Ke stood up and pointed at the fine salt on the tea table with a smile.
As he spoke, he took the initiative to dip his index finger in salt and put it into his mouth.
"What is this white thing?”
Zhangsun Zhexian revealed a curious expression.
She also stretched out her jade-like hand, her fingers as slender as a tender catkin.
She also imitated Li Ke and gently dipped some salt into his cherry lips.
When Fang Yi Zhi saw this scene, his eyes bulged out and he gulped.
If Fang Yiai hadn't noticed and elbowed him, Li Ke and Zhangsun Zhexian would have noticed his embarrassment.
The two brothers also imitated Li Ke and dipped some salt into their mouths.
"Hmm?"
"This is…Salt?"
Zhangsun Zhexian's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly as she spoke with uncertainty.
This feeling was the feeling of ordinary salt.
But this white, tiny, and crystalline thing in front of him was salt?
"Boss Li, what is this? Why does it taste like salt?”
Fang Yi 'ai asked curiously.
What he meant by similar was that their taste buds were similar.
But in fact, it felt much better than the salt that was popular in the market.
The taste was purer and more like salt than the salt on the market.
"Yes, I feel the same way.”
"But this shouldn't be salt. I've never seen salt like this before.”
Fang Yizhi echoed.
They knew about the salt in the market, but none of them looked like this.
"If I say this is salt, do you think it will sell well?”
Li Ke smiled indifferently.
He didn't ask if he could sell it, but directly asked if it was easy to sell.
In the Great Tang, salt was controlled by the government. If a merchant wanted to sell salt, he had to get the approval of the court.
After a series of operations, there were not many who could do business selling salt.
In the entire Great Tang, only the five families and seven Wangs could sell them.
"Is this really salt?"
"That's impossible. Such fine salt?”
"It melts in your mouth. The taste is fragrant and pure.”
Zhangsun Zhexian and the other two were in disbelief.
They tasted the fine salt again and still couldn't believe it.
The main reason was that they had never seen such a small amount of salt before.
After they received Li Ke's affirmation, the three of them were no longer calm. They looked at the fine salt on the tea table in horror.
If this was fine salt, it would definitely sold well!
"Li Ke, is there a lot?"
Zhangsun Zhexian was the first to recover.
She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Salt was sold by the officials, the five surnames, and the Seven Wangs. It was an important source of income for the court.
Although salt wasn't very expensive overall, it was a necessity for everyone.
No matter how small the price was, it was still an astronomical figure.
Otherwise, why would the imperial court be so strict?
If Li Ke could sell salt, he would definitely make a lot of money, even more than the current ice business and perfume business.
"As much as you want."
Li Ke chuckled.
"Good, great, this is definitely a big profit!”
"Li Ke, as long as we start selling salt, we might become the richest man in Chang 'an City in the future.”
Zhangsun Zhexian was so excited that even his breathing quickened.
Her eyes were shining, and she was so excited that she wanted to hug Li Ke tightly.
Seeing Li Ke's smile, he wondered why he was smiling so mesmerizingly.
"We'll talk about the richest person later.”
"I asked you to come here not only to let you try salt, but also to cooperate with your two families.”
Li Ke laughed.
It was too early to say that he was the richest.
The wealth accumulated by the five surnames and the seven Wangs far exceeded what ordinary people knew.
Compared to becoming the richest man, Li Ke wanted to sell the fine salt and monopolize the fine salt business in the Great Tang.
Salt was sold by the government.
It wasn't that the others didn't want to, but the risk of selling salt was too high. Without a backer, they couldn't sell it openly.
If they were caught selling it in secret, they would face decades in prison.
This was not what Li Ke thought.
But if Fang clan and Zhangsun clan were involved, selling salt would become official.
"I can go back and convince my father, but I want 30% of the profits!”
Zhangsun Zhexian immediately understood what Li Ke meant by cooperation.
"I... I can also go back and convince my father that my family wants 30% of the profits.”
Fang Yi Zhi reacted quickly and quickly stated his conditions.
"30%, 30%, 60%, and only 40%. What do you think?”
Li Ke chuckled.
"Then it shouldn't be much for our two families to take 20% each, right?”
"After all, we need my father and Uncle Fang to convince His Majesty. We also need to rely on the strength of our two families to stop the harassment of the business.”
Zhangsun Zhexian glanced at Fang Yizhi and said in a deep voice.
"Sure, bring some salt back. I'll wait for your good news.”
Li Ke nodded and agreed with Zhangsun Zhexian.
The former did require Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling to convince Li Er.
But if it was the latter, Li Ke didn't need any power to stop the harassment in a short period of time.
However, the salt business was too huge, and they could not monopolize it. They would each give up 20% of the business.
After receiving Li Ke's affirmation, Zhangsun Zhexian returned to the Zhangsun Clan excitedly.
Fang clan's two brothers were the same, they quickly returned home to find their father.
Dear readers, I think it's not bad. Give me a little flower to support you.
