After finally sending Chao Cuo back to the guest room, Liu Deng returned to his palace, took the hot handkerchief sent by the palace maid and wiped his face. Liu Deng let out a long breath.
This guy is really a stick. The conditions I am giving him now will definitely be discussed again by the court at their discretion.
Although the price of green salt is expensive, it is rare and expensive. If the production volume really increases, the value of this thing will definitely plummet now, and it will fool a scholar like Chao Cuo.
Whether the current prince or the emperor wants to get involved, there will definitely be specialized talents to study the details with him.
However, at this juncture, if Chao Cuo made a counteroffer, Liu Deng would be too embarrassed not to let go. After all, Chao Cuo was not a real fool.
However, this old boy is now blinded by the illusion he created. If he really calms down, if it drags on for another three to five days, there will naturally be more and more flaws.
Therefore, in order to send him away as soon as possible, Liu Deng could only start acting recklessly.
"Is it easy for me to make some money?"
He didn't eat anything meaty that night, or in other words, Liu Deng ate almost nothing that night. Even if he took a few chopsticks to pick up some wild vegetables, he would vomit them all.
Now he was so hungry that he ordered someone to get him a pot of stewed venison and some good fruit wine. Liu Deng ate while thinking about what to do with the rest.
He killed Gongsun Gui and raided his villa. The King of Wu would definitely not let it go, and the lawsuit would definitely go to the imperial court.
However, as long as he succeeds in making salt, neither the emperor nor the prince will be biased towards outsiders!
What's more, he was indeed justified in this matter. He had found a lot of dirt from King Wu's Villa. The two countries were so far apart, and the old boy couldn't send troops to fight him.
Then I'm afraid of him!
The only thing that needs to be feared is that the old boy will definitely attack him in various ways. According to his current understanding, the current general policy of the imperial court is still to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.
Many people still maintain the habit of bartering. What should I do if my children at home need to make clothes and there is no fabric?
Taking a chicken to the market to trade requires a lot of materials. If one chicken is not enough, then add a basket of eggs. This kind of thing is really nothing new in this day and age.
Especially in a place like Dai State, the commercial foundation is very weak. If that old thing really causes trouble, I'm afraid there won't be many big businessmen left in Dai State very soon.
What's more, businessmen always like to be lively. Liu Deng himself didn't go back to Pingcheng, the capital of Dai Dynasty, let alone those businessmen.
If that old boy King Wu exerts his strength, I am afraid that all the businessmen and wealthy families in Dai Kingdom will run away!
This is the real troublesome thing. In this closed society, if you want to achieve the circulation of goods, if there are no businessmen like them and Liu Deng can do it by himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it even if he is exhausted. .
We still have to let those businessmen see the profits as soon as possible!
It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. As long as they can see that they can make more money on their side, they will naturally make their own choices.
When it comes to profits, nothing can be done faster than papermaking now. It seems that after sending Chao Cuo away, this matter will have to be put on the agenda quickly.
But, should we bring the emperor in too?
Although Emperor Wen was his biological grandfather, his father was not born to Empress Dowager Dou. His grandmother had long since disappeared, and now, at this time, he only had the title of grandchild.
In addition, according to historical records I don’t know where I read, my grandfather is not doting on Queen Dou now, but Mrs. Shen and Yin Ji!
Do you want to bring in some more people?
Liu Deng began to think about it. After pondering for a long time, Liu Deng decided that he would still hold the emperor and Queen Dou's thighs!
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Queen Dou could survive until her husband died, her son died, and her grandson took charge of power before she died was enough for Liu Deng to admire.
Live a long time, especially for a woman like Queen Dou. In this country where filial piety governs the country, these are stronger thighs than the prince!
This queen has lived in the palace for a long time, so she can't get involved, but there is still someone who can get on the line!
In addition to the prince, the Queen Mother Dou also has brothers. If she brings them in and starts working with King Wu's grandson, she will have helpers in the court, right?
Although Queen Dou has an eye problem now, her son is the prince, and this is enough!
Liu Qi must be the next emperor, and the queen will become the queen mother in a few years, even though she may be suppressed by some Mrs. Shen and Yin Ji because of this incident.
However, compared with the backers in the following decades, what does this little pressure mean?
Besides, after all, I am a descendant of the great ancestor and an upright prince. Even if they blow some pillow wind, can they still make me lose a piece of meat?
After thinking of this, Liu Deng almost immediately finalized the details of the matter. Now he will set up the shelf first. For the sales, he can first get a few businessmen he has cultivated to do it.
At the end of the year, when he goes to Chang'an for pilgrimage as usual, he can naturally get in touch with the Dou brothers. They now rely on the queen's help and the emperor's rewards to survive.
Emperor Wen himself was a frugal person, so it was inevitable that he would be stingy with these rewards, so he pulled them together to make a fortune.
Doesn't this also reduce the emperor's burden?
Besides, as long as I take them to live a better life, will they not miss me when they enter the palace to talk to their sister?
As long as I have this favor, my future plans will be much easier to develop! After thinking about this, Liu Deng suddenly felt cheerful.
Once the mood is good, the interest in eating will naturally come. However, if you look carefully, your mouth will become picky. The venison that you were eating with relish just now suddenly no longer tastes good!
"Someone, go get me this king's treasure!"
Liu Deng was always a person who was neither spicy nor happy. In the past few days since he came here, if he hadn't been troubled by everything, his mouth would have rebelled long ago.
"promise!"
A maid carefully brought up several sandalwood boxes. Liu Deng opened the boxes, looked at each one, and finally carefully took out a slightly wilted chili pepper.
He carefully peeled it open and peeled out the seeds inside bit by bit, and then carefully put it into his mouth. Feeling the chili pepper blooming in his mouth, Liu Deng felt like he was in heaven.
It seems that it’s time to plant these things, especially potatoes, corn, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes!
These things are supreme treasures in this era!
With this thing here, there will definitely be no shortage of food in this country in the future. With enough food, he can recruit more soldiers!
The Huns have committed crimes in recent years. Although I am not the emperor of the ages and cannot plow the courtyard and sweep holes, it is still okay to teach them a lesson!
