Although Liu Heng had known for a long time that his business was very big, he never imagined that it would be so big now.
The daily production of salt is 30,000 shi. Based on this amount, it may only take a few months each year to meet the daily needs of the Han Dynasty.
"Grandpa Huang heard it right. As long as you give your grandson some time, the salt produced by my country alone will be enough for the common people of my country. From now on, I, my country, will never be short of salt again!"
Although this sentence sounds exaggerated, Liu Deng himself has his own account.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, wars broke out frequently. When Emperor Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, although he tried his best to adopt policies that benefit the people, the population is still less than 30 million.
Although salt is necessary for people, the amount required by each person per day is limited. As long as he is given two years, his output can reach a higher level.
At that time, the Han Dynasty could naturally use salt to exchange for sufficient benefits from foreign countries.
This was almost unimaginable before. The Han Dynasty did not have enough salt to eat, so how could it be exported to foreign barbarians?
Liu Deng also knew in his heart that he could never handle this business alone, so he brought the prince in first, and 40% of the income from the production process went to the prince.
During the sales process, 30% of the profits were given to the emperor, and the remaining profits were distributed to the dealers layer by layer.
Although in total, each level only has a profit of twenty or thirty cents. For the time being, in front of the huge base, this profit is simply an astronomical figure.
More importantly, this thing is stable!
As long as you are not a fool, you can see the benefits of this business. As long as you grab it, it will almost be a golden rice bowl for future generations. No matter how they sell it, as long as the shop is not sold, they will always be guaranteed to have a bowl of rich rice.
This is what Liu Deng gave to Liu Bi, another big killer weapon. If Liu Deng eats alone, Liu Bi will naturally join other princes and kings to file a lawsuit against him and force Liu Deng to hand over the method of making salt. But things are different now. He has brought in all the powerful people of the dynasty.
If Liu Bi wanted the salt-making method in his hands, wouldn't that mean going against the Manchu dignitaries and the emperor?
Although this method is simple, the problem is that there is an essential difference between sea salt and lake salt. The salt Liu Deng made through this method is indeed high-quality green salt.
But if it were replaced by sea salt, the speed would be much faster, but the quality would be much lower.
Because there are more impurities in sea salt and more uncontrollable things, and the current technological level is limited, Liu Deng asked himself that he still didn't have the means to remove harmful metal ions from his eyes.
Of course, this method can also be extended to well salt, but well salt is almost always located in mountainous areas. It is almost impossible to rival Liu Deng in scale.
Although he was said to be his own grandson, Liu Heng knew better that such a major event could not be entrusted to one person.
"Father, this salt-making business is run by Erchen and Liu Deng together. Erchen accounts for 40% of it. Erchen was greedy for a while, please punish me!"
Seeing Liu Heng's expression gloomy, Liu Qi immediately stood up. He didn't get this job for free. Isn't this the time for him to contribute? Only if he carries this blame will no one lose his head. Otherwise, I'm afraid Liu Deng will have to carry it away without being able to eat it today.
"Is there such a thing? Where did you get the money to renovate the East Palace? After talking for a long time, it turned out that you made a small fortune..."
Liu Heng's eyes glanced, and then he didn't continue talking.
He no longer pays attention to the affairs of the court. I have handed over the affairs of the court to my son. For the time being, he is satisfied with his eldest son.
Regardless of his actions or scheming, although he still seems a little green now, he has indeed improved a lot than before.
This salt lake is located in the Kingdom of Dai. From top to bottom, there are countless things to worry about. Liu Deng only took 60% of the profits. Now it seems that he is very kind.
However, what surprised Liu Heng was that this boy was so young and acted so seasonedly, but he managed this matter perfectly from beginning to end. Even for him, an old man, he really couldn't find any faults at the moment.
Now it seems that Wu Wang Liu Bi has really found a strong opponent for himself. If nothing else, Liu Deng can beat him to death just because of his age.
Compared with Liu Deng, Liu Xian, the prince of King Wu, is far behind. I am afraid that he will step on him in the future.
"Since you have thought about it in detail, let's handle this matter according to your wishes. However, after all, we are our relatives, so don't make things too ugly!"
Liu Heng thought about it for a moment and then said.
Now that the emperor agreed, the rest was easy. Liu Deng already felt that his eyes were so swollen that they were almost like pandas.
The old ginger prepared in Honglu Temple is really spicy. It seems that I have to prepare it myself next time, otherwise sooner or later I will have to go blind.
When he said this, Liu Deng suddenly glanced at Queen Dou next to him. Could it be that she had the sequelae of using too much ginger?
Liu Deng maliciously guessed.
"Father, I didn't expect that this kid actually has such a delicate heart. How did he come up with all these ideas?"
Seeing that the situation was decided, the eldest princess Liu Piao suddenly stood up, picked up the wine bottle and came to Liu Heng's side to help him pour wine.
"You damn girl, I think you've got some tricks on you again!"
Sure enough, it was Mo Ruomu who was my best friend. After hearing what she said, I immediately understood what the eldest princess was thinking.
"Mother, my daughter has also saved some spare money over the years. Since the father said not to spend all the money to buy land, lest the court cannot collect taxes, do you think it is okay for my daughter to buy a shop and do business with this guy? ?”
The eldest princess Liu Piao immediately came to her mother, put down her wine bottle and started acting like a baby.
"Of course it's good for aunt to want to help her nephew, but we have already agreed. Even if it's aunt's shop, you still have to pay taxes first!"
Seeing that the eldest princess Liu had opened her mouth for prostitution, Liu Deng quickly blocked the opening.
"You boy, why do I feel that you are in the same boat as the prince brother? He hasn't even taken office yet, and you have already started collecting money for him? What's going on? Your uncle is an uncle, and my aunt is not an aunt. ?”
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Liu Piao immediately started to complain.
