    "Old Liu, tell me the truth, after we set up a salt farm and paid two million taels of silver to the national treasury, will we really still make money?"

    Hearing Liu Jin mention the two million taels of silver again, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask Liu Jin again.

    In his opinion, although this salt is profitable, the output of a salt farm is always limited. Now that two million silver has been handed over to the national treasury, how much profit can there be?

    "You still don't believe me?"

    "Once this salt-drying method is developed, its output will be a hundred or a thousand times the current output. What we will be worried about then is the sales of salt."

    Liu Jin smiled and said confidently.

    In later generations, salt fields all over the world were sun-made salt, and the output was huge. It not only met the demand for table salt, but also met the huge demand for industrial salt. There is absolutely no need to worry about the output.

    Moreover, Liu Jin has already chosen a place. The place where the salt field will be built is in the Changlu Salt Field area in later generations. There are many tidal flats in this area, which are flat and open. It is sunny and rainy throughout the year, and the wind is also strong.  The most ideal place to dry salt.

    "That's fine, as long as you don't lose money."

    "Huh~huh, I have long disliked those salt merchants in the south. They dared to target me last time. Look at me this time, I will pull the trigger and knock you back to your original shape."

    Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s answer, Zhu Houzhao couldn¡¯t help but said harshly.

    What happened last time made Zhu Houzhao remember it deeply in his heart. He finally managed to build some industry and wanted to make some money. These people were targeting him, and they wanted to use this to limit the imperial power. This was absolutely intolerable.  .

    Now the case is being investigated deeper and deeper, and more and more people are coming to the surface. It is already clear that salt merchants, Anhui merchants, big businessmen, etc. in the south were involved in this matter.

    The reason why Emperor Hongzhi agreed with Liu Jin and Zhu Hou to run the salt field was because he wanted to suppress the salt merchants in the south. The salt and iron monopoly did not benefit the state treasury, and he, the emperor, could not get any benefits at all. As for ordinary people, the same was true.  Eating expensive salt.

    Nearly all the benefits went to the mouths of these salt merchants. The key is that these salt merchants even extended their hands into the court after receiving the benefits, and wanted to restrict the imperial power. This is absolutely intolerable.

    But Emperor Hongzhi also knew that even if a group of salt merchants were killed, as long as this system existed, there would still be new salt merchants emerging, so he tried to make some changes.

    "Your Highness, if we want to successfully open the salt farm, it's not enough for us alone. We must involve more people."

    Liu Jin thought for a while and said to Zhu Houzhao.

    This is a strategy that Liu Jin has always pursued. No matter what he does, everyone is involved, especially the participation of the Generals Xungui Group.

    Because there is strength in numbers, only if more people taste the sweetness and gain benefits from new affairs, the power to support new affairs will be greater.

    "Tell me in detail~"

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

    ¡°When we build a salt farm, we must benefit all aspects. The court can receive huge taxes, and the common people can eat cheaper salt. In addition, we must allow more businessmen to make money with us, and at the same time, we must allow more  people to open more salt farms"

    Liu Jin thought for a while and spoke slowly, discussing the next step of action with Zhu Houzhao in detail.

    On the island in the middle of the lake in the back garden of Dingguo Palace, Xu Guangzuo and Liu Jin were drinking tea and talking about the expansion of the cement factory.

    At the beginning, the British prince Zhang Maofei wanted to cooperate with Liu Jin and three other princes to build a cement factory. Cement was an indispensable artifact for the construction industry. Coupled with the Beijing-Tianjin cement road as a demonstration, cement suddenly became a hot commodity.  Something that is in great demand.

    The imperial court ordered cement on a large scale from major cement factories to build the Great Wall and passes, city walls, defense lines in border towns, etc. These large official orders undoubtedly fell into the hands of several large cement factories.  mouth.

    Tianjin Cement Factory, Zhangshi Cement Factory, Zhoushi Cement Factory, Sihai Cement Factory, Sangong Cement Factory, these cement factories all got their own piece of this huge cake.

    In addition to official large orders, the demand for private orders is also growing. More and more people are beginning to use cement to build roads, bridges, and houses, especially in the Beijing-Tianjin area. The demand is very huge, making large and small businesses  Business at the cement factory is very booming, orders can't be filled, and supply exceeds demand.

    ¡°I think it is necessary to expand productionOpposite Jin, the face was red. Seeing that Liu Jin looked at him without speaking, he blushed even more, so he thought about it and said.

    "You are so beautiful~"

    Liu Jin looked at Xu Waner. Last time, there was a distance and there were many people present, so it was not easy to stare at people. Now that they were sitting face to face and no one else was present, he knew her thoughts even more, so Liu Jin also stared at her.  She looked.

    Look at it carefully, it¡¯s beautiful, it¡¯s really beautiful.

    Forgive me that Liu Jin only has these words in his mind to describe the Xu Waner in front of him. Her beauty does not belong to those stars of later generations. More importantly, she is such a lady, gentle and pleasant, and the beauty of a classical woman. Let Liu Jin  Zi was stunned and couldn't help but say.

    Hearing Liu Jin's words, Xu Waner's face turned even redder, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

    In this era, even if you like someone or praise someone, it is usually in a more tactful way, not as direct as Liu Jin.

    But when Liu Jin said she was beautiful, her heart felt as sweet as honey, and she suddenly didn¡¯t know how to reply.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
