After some operations by Jiang Qiulu, he finally verified his idea.
She took the refined product back and prepared to test it herself.
If there are no problems, you can decide to mass-produce it.
"Eunuch Li, take this jar of salt to the imperial kitchen."
"This is what I will use for today's dish."
Jiang Qiulu handed the salt shaker to Li Mingzhi.
At this moment, Concubine De happened to be going to Tai Chi Hall.
"My beloved concubine, you are here." Jiang Qiulu greeted her.
After Concubine De came closer, she suddenly sniffed lightly.
"Your Majesty, where have you been?"
"Why does my body have a strange smell?" Concubine Rong asked.
Only then did Jiang Qiulu realize that he had just returned from the salt factory and had some smell on his body.
"Ah, that's right."
"I went to the salt factory today." Jiang Qiulu said.
"Go back and tell me that I need to change my clothes."
Returning to Tai Chi Hall, Jiang Qiulu took a bath carefully and then changed his clothes.
Only then did the smell on his body disappear.
"I should be the first person in history to work in a dragon robe." Jiang Qiulu thought to himself as he changed his clothes.
After a while, Concubine De entered the house.
"Why did your Majesty go to the Salt House today?" Concubine De asked while helping Jiang Qiulu tidy up her clothes.
"I'm not afraid of my concubine's jokes when I say it."
"I went to the imperial kitchen yesterday and found that the salt we used was too rough."
"I happened to know some methods of purifying these coarse salts, so I went to our salt factory to verify it." Jiang Qiulu said.
"The thing in Eunuch Li's hand just now is the purified salt, right?"
"Exactly." Jiang Qiulu replied.
"Please share today's lunch with me."
"I'll call Commander Di and the others."
"No!" Concubine De replied softly.
…
In Prince Yong's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, listen to the people below."
"Your Majesty left the Tai Chi Hall today." Zhongli reported to King Yong.
"Where are you going?" King Yong asked intently, holding a book in his hand.
"When we went to Yanfang, His Majesty was accompanied by Jiang Donglin, the commander of the Imperial Guards," Zhongli said.
"Salt workshop?"
King Yong raised his head and put down the book in his hand.
"Why go to the salt workshop?" King Yong was very surprised.
"Your Majesty, this matter is unknown."
"The people below asked about it and said it was just an inspection." Zhongli replied.
King Yong snorted coldly.
"The majestic emperor of the Xia Dynasty."
"I actually went to a place like Yanfang in person. Who would believe it if I told you?"
"Even if it is an inspection, wouldn't it be enough to just send someone there? Is it necessary to go there in person?"
"Your Majesty, salt is an important commodity for our court."
"It seems reasonable that His Majesty will go there in person." Lin Qingzhi said from the side.
King Yong thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Jiang Qiulu is quite deep in the city now."
"Every time there are some weird movements, they must be planning something."
"But what kind of plan has to go to the salt workshop?" King Yong really couldn't figure it out.
Soon, it was lunch time.
Jiang Qiulu couldn't wait to see the dishes on the table.
After taking a bite, I was instantly satisfied.
The bitter taste of coarse salt is gone.
These dishes are more delicious than before.
"Everyone, let's get started."
After everyone tasted it, they also felt that it tasted much better than before.
"In this way, we can follow His Majesty's way."
"Refined salt is being produced in large quantities." Jiang Donglin said.
"Eunuch Li."
"The old slave is here!"
"After lunch, send someone to the salt workshop."
"Tell Manager Zhao to follow the process I followed this morning."
"In addition to supplying the palace, the rest will be sold outside."
“Sell a batch first and see the results,” Jiang Qiulu said.
"No!" Li Mingzhi agreed immediately.
In the afternoon, Li Mingzhi went to Yanfang and told Jiang Qiulu's will.
Then he quickly made a batch of refined salt according to Jiang Qiulu's method.
Zhao Guangcheng checked it personally and felt relieved after confirming that it was correct.
Each portion of refined salt is carefully packaged and marked with the words "Specially Available to the Royal Family".
When it was first put on the market, the effect was not that obvious.
But by the third day, sales increased rapidly.
In the following days, it was sold out every day.
In less than ten days, the first batch of refined salt was sold out.
Jiang Qiulu was very satisfied with the result.
Moreover, it is now only sold in Kyoto City.
If we get it to other cities, the number sold will definitely be higher.
For the final price, Jiang Qiulu chose a price that was very close to the people.
This will not only make it affordable for ordinary people, but also ensure sufficient profits.
Now the pre-sale effect of the first batch of refined salt is beginning to show results.
Jiang Qiulu is ready to strike while the iron is hot and continue to produce the second batch of refined salt.
Soon, the news spread throughout Kyoto city.
King Yong also got the news.
"I guessed that he must be planning something." After hearing the news, King Yong suddenly realized.
However, King Yong did not intend to stop or cause damage.
Because if he seizes the throne, everything will be his.
Therefore, the more Jiang Qiulu gets now, the more beneficial it will be to King Yong.
Wouldn’t it be nice to just sit back and enjoy the results?
"Your Majesty, the second batch of refined salt has been refined."
"Do you want to put it on the market?" Li Mingzhi asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Qiulu agreed directly.
With the release of the second batch of refined salt, there has been another rush.
It's sold out every day.
As several batches of refined salt were sold, Jiang Qiulu discovered the profits gained during this period.
The amount is considerable.
"Your Majesty, if this continues, the treasury of our Great Xia Dynasty will definitely be filled again." Di Yunhao said.
Jiang Qiulu thought, then slowly raised his head.
"Profit-wise, we've definitely gained a lot."
"But this is not enough." Jiang Qiulu said, tapping his fingers on the table.
"Brother Emperor, do you have any good ideas?" Jiang Donglin asked.
Jiang Qiulu smiled slightly and looked at the wine glass on the table.
"The focus of my next project is going to be wine."
Then, Jiang Qiulu picked up the wine glass in front of him.
The brewing techniques for the fine wines of this era are basically very traditional.
The wine produced under this process is no better than modern ones in terms of taste and alcohol content.
"Brother Emperor, regarding wine, we also have a special brewery in the palace."
"I guess Brother Huang is also preparing to use special craftsmanship to make some special bars." Jiang Donglin said with a smile.
"That's right." Jiang Qiulu stood up.
"Salt and wine are all-purpose goods."
“No matter when or where you are, there will always be an opportunity to sell.”
"As long as we control the quantity, some wealthy people will even buy it at a high price."
"By then, we will be more profitable."
