Three goals in a year, Zhou Shuyi is going to become a rich woman? Full 200 flowers!
Soon, three guests came to the Prince's mansion. They were all wealthy merchants from Hanzhong. They were the heads of the Li family, the Zhang family, and the Ye family.
"I am Li Ke of the Li Clan (Zhang Wu of the Zhang Clan, Ye Cheng of the Ye Clan). Greetings, Your Highness Han King!”
In the living room, the three wealthy merchants hurriedly bowed respectfully when they saw Zhu Li through a bead curtain.
Zhu Li's prestige in Hanzhong Prefecture was not just for show. Although everyone outside knew that Zhu Li was actually blind, no one dared to underestimate this prince!
In terms of ability, this blind vassal king was far more outstanding than the other vassal kings in the northwest region. This was a bit unbelievable, which also proved the strength of Zhu Li, the king of Han!
This was the first time Zhou Shuyi had faced such an occasion after their marriage. She felt a little nervous and unaccustomed to seeing such a serious attitude.
"I asked you to come over this time because I want to show you something!”
Zhu Li didn't waste any time and directly gestured for Qin Han to take out the prepared refined salt sample and place it on the table in front of Li Ke and the other two!
"This is the newly produced refined salt. Try it first!”
Zhu Li ordered lightly.
Li Ke and the other two couldn't help but feel surprised when they heard this. They looked at the bag in front of them that contained about a bucket of refined salt and revealed a surprised expression.
They were all partners of the Han King's Mansion and had earned a lot of money from the supply of goods from the Han King's Zhu Li.
Especially this refined salt, which they had been selling all along.
However, the previous business deals weren't as serious as now. At most, Qin Han or Liu Shan would step in!
They did not expect that Zhu Li had specially called them to the Prince's mansion for this bag of refined salt!？
This made them curious.
The three of them dipped their fingers into the bag and put some salt into their mouths. They were shocked.
"His Highness asked you, this refined salt costs 30 copper coins per bushel. How much can you eat?”
Qin Han came out to ask.
Zhu Li rarely showed his true appearance to others, so these merchants could only see the King of Han himself through a curtain. Most of the time, the words he spoke were passed down from the Qin and Han Dynasties!
"Your Highness, if they are all of this quality, then no matter how many there are, the three families can eat them all together!”
The three of them looked at each other. Li Ke, the leader, stepped forward and cupped his hands towards the curtain.
"Fifty thousand dans!"
Qin Han returned to the curtain and came out to report the number!
His goal was the salt market in the entire Western Region and the North Desert. If he wanted to achieve a monopoly, he naturally couldn't be too petty!
If the subsequent shipment volume was objective, the production capacity might have to be further expanded!
Li Ke and the other two were shocked. They were also shocked by this output!
50,000 dans. If they had that much, they would have to pay 15,000 taels of silver if they wanted to buy it all at 30 wen per bushel!
However, when they thought of the objective profits, the three of them began to breathe rapidly!
With the purchase price of 30 copper coins per bucket, with the quality of this refined salt, it was definitely not a problem to sell it for 100 copper coins!
After deducting the cost of labor and transportation, it would be at least half of the selling price!
Moreover, even if it was 100 wen per bucket, it was still much cheaper than the 200 wen per bucket of official salt from the imperial court!
They could all imagine how big of a sensation this refined salt would cause once it was circulated in the market!
"The three of us will take this fifty thousand dans!”
Li Ke gritted his teeth and made his decision.
In the face of huge profits, even a large amount of investment in the early stages was worth it. The profits were too good!
"Then, please arrange for the three of you to go back. Someone will inform you of the location and time of the delivery!”
"You all know the Han King's rules for doing business. Don't say what you shouldn't say. Go back and prepare the money before coming back!”
Qin Han reminded Li Ke and the other two.
The three of them promised repeatedly before being taken out by the servants.
Zhu Li smiled. It would take three days at most to produce 50,000 dans of salt. Now, the number of workers in the salt workshop had increased! In other words, in three days, excluding the various facilities and wages, he would have more than 10,000 silver in his account!
Zhu Li's beaming face made him look like a fox who had succeeded in his plot. It seemed to let Zhou Shuyi see a different Han King, Zhu Li.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Shuyi asked curiously.
"You don't know how much this king can earn after selling these 50,000 dans of salt!”
Zhu Li smiled as he calculated Zhou Shuyi's score.
Zhou Shuyi's eyes widened when she heard that she could earn ten thousand taels in three days, which was about a hundred thousand taels in a month!
She could imagine that salt would definitely be profitable, but she didn't expect the profits to be so huge!
A profit of more than one million taels of silver a year, and this was only under the premise of the current shipment volume.
Once the production increased again!
Zhou Shuyi could almost see a small mountain of gold appearing in front of her!
Previously, Wu Chengfeng and the others had taught Zhou Shuyi some basic knowledge about the Ming Dynasty. For example, in the early Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver was equivalent to the purchasing power of about three hundred yuan in the future!
If one tael of silver was equivalent to three hundred yuan, then one million taels would be three small goals!
300 million a year!
And this was only the income from salt!
"Sister Zhou, what's with your expression? What a money-grubber! So you're like this, Sister Zhou!"
"It's not that we don't like each other. Look at the Han King's expression. He's no better than Sister Zhou, right?”
"Awesome. Just by buying salt, he can earn more than one million taels a year. The annual tax of the Great Ming Dynasty was only a few million taels, right? During the Hongwu period, there was no record of more than a thousand taels of silver!”
“……”
In the live broadcast room, the audience looked at Zhu Li and Zhou Shuyi, and the bullet comments flew again!
"Hmph, I think you guys are just envious and jealous!”
Zhou Shuyi looked at the audience's comments and pursed her lips in disapproval.
So what if he was a moneygrubber?
Wasn't it nice to be a little rich woman?
"With this money, I no longer have to worry about the military expenses of the Hanzhong Prefecture, and this Prince will not be in dire straits!”
"Wang Fei, you have indeed helped this king this time!”
Zhu Li smiled at Zhou Shuyi.
With this money, he could open a few more military factories!
At the same time, what surprised Zhu Li was that these aristocrats could really take out so much money!
Zhou Shuyi was dumbfounded!
Why did he have to spend the money before it was even warm?
What happened to the three small goals in a year?
So he could only hear it and not touch it at all?
"Hahaha…look at Sister Zhou's expression.”
"The little rich lady's dream has been shattered. Sister Zhou is going to be furious again!”
"Sister Zhou, you have to put the big picture first!"
“……”
Instantly, the bullet comments in the live-stream became cheerful again. Many people began to persuade Zhou Shuyi.
It was absolutely right to invest the money they earned to increase their military strength. Han King Zhu Li was definitely a person who did great things!
If you have money and still indulge in debauchery, do you still want to be an emperor in the future?
Stop dreaming!
