Chapter 799 Layout
Once Fang Jun is agreed to join, it will be a fight to the death with the Gu family!
No matter how much profit there is, the Xiao family will never be allowed to make such a decision, which is almost tantamount to extirpating themselves in front of the Jiangnan gentry...
But Fang Jun smiled at this time and said: "I know the concerns of the two brothers Zhu. I would like to remind you that my salt field does not need reeds as fuel!"
Don't need fuel?
So what do you use to boil the salt?
Everyone was confused and puzzled. But he was completely relieved. As long as he was not competing with the Gu family for reed swamps as fuel, it would have a different meaning. If your Gu family is in the sea salt business, other families will naturally do the same. Although there is competition, each family's industry now also includes boiled salt, but the scale is not as large as that of the Gu family.
There's no reason for you to make a fortune doing this, so you shouldn't allow others to find another way, right?
As for how to boil the sea into salt without using fuel, no one has any doubts.
What Fang Jun is most famous for is not his peerless literary talent, but his attainments in strange and obscene skills. Ever since the "artifact that can summon a rainbow" spread all over the country, he has become famous all over the world and has reached the top!
If Fang Jun says it can, then it must be possible! Even if he said tomorrow that he could make fire from ice or crack mountains and rocks, many people would believe it...
Zhu Qu couldn't bear it anymore this time. He pulled Zhu Jian and shouted in a low voice: "Brother..."
One salt field can produce 100,000 dendrobium salts annually. What if there are two? What about three yuan?
...I don’t dare to think about it anymore. Zhu Qu will go crazy if he thinks about it any more!
Nowadays, the price of salt is about 20 cents per catty. This is still a place along the coast of Jiangdong. If it is transported to Guanzhong, a place where no salt is produced, it will be easy to double the price!
"Book of Sui Dynasty: Lu Li Zhi 1": "Ten millet is a 絫. And the five powers start from this. Ten 禫 is one baht. Twenty-four baht is two. Sixteen taels is a catty. Thirty catties is a jun. Four jun is a jin. Stone. Five powers are here.”
Calculated at 20 fen per catty of salt, one hundred and twenty jin per stone. At this time, one stone is equivalent to one dendrobium, which is one thousand two hundred fen, and one thousand fen equals one thousand fen. Since one husk of salt is sold for two thousand fen.
One hundred thousand dendrobium is equivalent to 120,000 guan...
This is simply a money grab!
It should be noted that the Zhu family was compensated 200,000 yuan for being cheated by Fang Jun. This is the savings of several generations of the Zhu family. If they bought a stake in Fang Jun's salt farm, they would be back in two years... Even if Fang Jun wanted to take part of it, How could he earn back the two hundred thousand yuan in three or four years?
The most important thing is that as long as the sea water is endless, sea salt will be inexhaustible!
This is the golden rice bowl for generations. As long as Fang Fangjun is in the arms, this profit will always belong to the Zhu family!
If the Zhu family understood Fang Jun's "new method of making salt"...
This time even Zhu Jian couldn't sit still.
"Since the general manager is taking such good care of my Zhu family, if my brother continues to look forward and backward, wouldn't he be betraying the general manager's wishes? I haven't said anything, our brothers will follow you and everything will depend on your leadership. If there is any half-heartedness, heaven will strike!"
Zhu Qu slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I was really blinded by lard before, and I couldn't see the mountains. Fortunately, the chief manager, you are an adult and don't care about me. Instead, you gave us such a profitable business. From now on, no matter how dangerous it is, my brother will never frown if you say anything!”
Fang Jun thought, please pull him down! It’s okay to deceive a three-year-old child, but can you use it to deceive me? If I ask you to lead people to attack the Gu family now, you, a money-grubber, will probably fall back like a donkey...
But Fang Jun naturally does not need the Zhu family to take the lead. For him, no amount of money can compare to the disintegration of the Jiangnan gentry. As long as there are no constraints from the Jiangnan gentry, he can show off his talents and create an unprecedented foundation in Huating Town!
As for giving some benefits to the Zhu family, Fang Jun didn't feel bad at all.
To use a dog, you have to throw a bone...
Fang Jun looked at Xiao Ban again.
As the nominal leader of the Jiangnan gentry, the position of the Xiao family is naturally crucial.
Xiao Ban looked at Fang Jun's searching eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This is really a waste of money...
First, Xiao Ming was given a future, and then a sudden windfall came from him. How could Xiao Ban refuse this?
Xiao Ban had no choice but to say: "If it is a simple business, the Xiao family will naturally not refuse. But if there is a direct conflict with the Gu family, then don't blame me for not being able to help. The Xiao family is based in the south of the Yangtze River and has always been a family of benevolence and righteousness. He is gentle and never fights with others.”
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. The method of fighting life and death has long been outdated. Now is the time of peace. The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the central government's control has also been strengthened. In the past, troubled times The days of disputes and disputes are gone forever. Anyone who still thinks about who has the final say is tantamount to dreaming. In this case, you two will just wait for news from me."
After saying that, Fang Jun stood up, gave a slight salute, then turned around and walked out.
Everyone in the hall stood up to see each other off.
From now on, everyone has boarded Fang Jun's ship, but I don't know if this ship can sail smoothly. However, with such huge interests involved, everyone knows that now that we have boarded the ship, it will be difficult to get off the ship...
*****
"Even though I was born and raised here, every time I see the majestic beauty of this bamboo sea, I still get carried away. My long-cherished wish in life is to be able to have a promising career in the official career, and to be able to leisurely close my eyes and bury my bones when I die. Now it seems that the latter wish has been achieved now, but the former one has become a luxury hope..."
A crystal clear stream meanders in the sea of bamboo, and a small black-awned boat floats leisurely on the stream. Lu Xiaoyu is wearing a plain white dress, holding a bamboo pole, and gently inserts the bamboo pole into the stream. Once it was propped up on the gravel at the bottom, the boat slowly swung away.
It's just that there is an unavoidable desolation in these words.
Of course, there seems to be some slight complaints against Fang Jun...
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "The dangers of an official career are no less than the rapids and the peaks of the waves in Wu Gorge. Why should Brother Lu insist on this?"
Lu Xiaoyu snorted, held up his bamboo pole and said: "You are a well-fed man who doesn't know how hungry a man is. You are in a high position and have a distinguished lord. Naturally, you don't know the misery in the hearts of us down-and-out people. If you have a chance to stand up, you will definitely do it." Tears flowed and I drank three liters of wine!”
have to!
Listening to the sourness in these words, it is obvious that it was because Fang Jun recommended Xiao Ming to serve as the navy commander. Shi felt depressed, worried and angry...
Fang Jun had no choice but to say: "Then Mr. Xiao is different from you. He has to win over you and at the same time be under my watch. Otherwise, who knows whether he will play the trick above? Brother Lu, there is no need to be anxious. It is a rare opportunity to relax. Every time Wandering in such a majestic bamboo sea, blowing in this seemingly pure and leisurely breeze, it seems that the wind carries a faint fragrance, why rush into the mud-like officialdom? ”
Lu Xiaoyu's hand holding the pennant paused slightly, and he looked at Fang Jun with bright eyes. His face was calm, but his voice trembled slightly: "What does the chief manager mean... is there really a possibility of a relapse?"
Fang Jun said helplessly: "I really don't know what you guys are thinking, why do you all want to be an official? Although it is good to be an official, you can support others and be dignified, and you can gain both fame and fortune and honor your ancestors, but the lessons learned from the past are not far away. Isn’t it also murderous and sinister everywhere?”
Lu Xiaoyu's face turned red, a little embarrassed, and he quickly pushed up the pole with all his strength.
This guy was laughing at me for bending the law and making mistakes, so he took advantage of me and got the evidence, leading to a complete defeat...
A moment of negligence cost him his bright future. How could Lu Xiaoyu not regret it?
If Xiao Ming was in ruins after losing the county magistrate of Haiyu City, Lu Xiaoyu was really thinking about death. What he lost was an extremely noble official position, not to mention that the Lu family was almost destroyed because of it...
Although the officialdom is good, you have to be careful about your desires. If you relax even a little bit, you will be doomed.
Fang Jun, who was on the bow of the boat, had already put his hands behind his back, admiring the magnificent scenery of the bamboo sea.
The stream meanders along the valley. The water is clear and green, set off by the surrounding bamboos. The stones at the bottom of the stream are clearly visible. There are towering bamboos on both sides of the bank. After a heavy rain yesterday, the bamboo forest is strong, fresh, full of vitality and vigorous.
Bamboo as thick as a bowl is spread all over the mountains and plains. Its tall and straight trunks rise from the ground, blocking out the sky and the sun. The roots and branches overlap to form a cave. They are green and beautiful. The spectacular view of them stretching into the sea makes people's hearts agitate. Whenever the breeze rises, the bamboo waves roll, graceful and graceful. When the wind falls, it gives people a sense of depth, tranquility and grace... A little information - ＜＜New Book of Tang＞＞ Food and Huo Zhi records: Ten coins of Kaiyuan Tongbao are... Two, weigh ten of the better Kaiyuan Tongbao newly unearthed in Yuhuazhai, Xi'an. The total weight is 42.5 grams, one pound is sixteen taels, 42.5 grams multiplied by 16 equals 680 grams.
