"What big deal?"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately became curious.

Li Xiao smiled and said nothing, looked around, and then said mysteriously: "A big business, very big, it can make the entire Prince Yan's palace several times richer!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu took a breath of cold air.

Can the entire Yan Palace become rich several times?

In this way, wouldn't he have made great contributions to Prince Yan's palace, and his father would look down on him again?

If anyone else said this, Zhu Gaoxu wouldn't believe it and would just tell them to get lost.

But whose mouth did this come from?

Li Xiao!

This is Li Xiao!

A person who makes everyone lose their composure!

A person who can bring good luck to those around him, and a person who can improve the fortune of Prince Yan's palace!

Zhu Gaoxu said happily: "Fuck! Future brother-in-law, what kind of business is this?"

Li Xiao said mysteriously: "It will be kept secret for now."

If the business he planned in his mind was completed, he would not be able to win it.

Only King Yan can control such a business!

If he just goes along with the flow and gives his father-in-law as a betrothal gift, even if he owns only 10% of the business shares, he will still have a very considerable income in the future.

He hadn't married his sister yet, so he was thinking about Prince Yan's Mansion... This was the son-in-law of Prince Yan's Mansion... Zhu Gaoxu was very happy in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu said. "Brother-in-law, please tell me, is there anything I can do to help?"

Li Xiao whispered: "I need your help to find out if there are any salt mines in Beiping Prefecture..."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then said strangely: "Salt mine...Brother-in-law, do you want to do salt business?"

Li Xiao nodded slightly: "Don't make any announcement until it's done."

The salt law of the Ming Dynasty inherited the system of the Song and Yuan Dynasties and established the kitchen household system to manage salt production.

All the salt produced by Zao households was purchased and processed by the imperial court. Part of the salt collected by the imperial court was transported to various states and counties through the household registration salt law, where it was distributed and sold according to household registration, and rice was collected based on the household registration. This is the official sales system;

Some of them used the Kaizhong method to exchange grain, horses, etc. with merchants. The merchants transported grain, grass, etc. to supply military pay to border towns. The government paid salt, sent fields to distribute salt, and transported and sold it in designated areas on its own. This was the "trade system."

Li Xiao's plan was to make salt and sell it to the Imperial Salt Transportation Department.

You don't have to worry about the rest, that's the court's business.

Of course, salt is big business.

There are salt merchants inside, controlled by various forces, and it is very complicated.

Only with King Yan's backing can such a business be done.

I heard that among the industries of Prince Yan's Mansion, there is also salt production, but the output is smaller.

The ancient methods of making salt were very clumsy, mainly mine salt and sun salt.

The grain yield is low, and the quality is also very poor, incomparable to future salt mine method white salt.

"But..."

Zhu Gaoxu was a little embarrassed: "Brother-in-law, this salt mine can indeed produce salt, but it is poisonous salt. If you eat it, you will die."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Just do as I say...it will never be poisonous salt. The mountain people have their own tricks."

In fact, mineral salt is often finer than sea salt and has fewer impurities.

Mineral salt is the purest, pollution-free and healthy salt among all salts.

Most of the future snowflake white salt will be extracted from salt mines.

However, extraction technology is required. If the impurities in the ore are not extracted, it is indeed toxic.

Hearing Li Xiao's affirmation.

Zhu Gaoxu believed it, but he couldn't believe it.

Besides, if you give it a try, it’s nothing.

"That's okay." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I'll take care of this matter. I'll go and find out. Brother-in-law, do you want to go with me?"

Li Xiao shook his head: "I still have some things to do...I haven't seen your sister today..."

[Items refreshed in the system mall today:]

[1. Mineral salt extraction method: Provide detailed steps, including dissolution, precipitation, filtration, evaporation, and crystallization, to produce fine snowflake white salt. (Automatically match the optimization method of the current dynasty.) It consumes 3000 points. 】

[2. A bottle of Coca-Cola. Spend 50 points. 】

[3. One tube of Lengsuanling toothpaste. Consume 100 points. 】

[Current points: 1200 points. 】

Yesterday, Li Xiao walked around Beiping City and found no business opportunities.

As soon as he got up this morning, after the system mall was refreshed, Li Xiao already had plans.

Of course, in order to obtain this salt mine extraction method, Li Xiao must score another 1,800 points today.

"Haha, okay, you go see my sister, I can handle this matter by myself."

Seeing that Li Xiao was so concerned about his sister, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't let him go with her.

"Sorry to bother you, the benefits will be yours when the time comes."

Li Xiao could already imagine his father-in-law's expression after getting the news.

Moreover...it will cost a lot of money to provide peace and stability in a few years.

Calculating it this way...Son-in-law, I will prepare you for a rainy day.

Although the outcome of Jingnan has been decided, Li Xiao does not mind speeding up the "Battle of Jingnan".

Your wife can also become a princess as soon as possible, and you can earn points faster!

Seeing that Li Xiao was worried, Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "What are the benefits? It's just a trivial matter!"

Li Xiao nodded.

That's it.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui left the house to inquire about the salt mine.

Li Xiao, on the other hand, walked towards Yong'an Pavilion.

Once you have met for the first time, it will be easier to arrange for the second meeting.

Moreover, he has unimpeded access in Prince Yan's Mansion.

Not long after.

Li Xiao then arrived at Mr. Yong'an and knocked on the door. Zhang Cuicui quickly greeted him.

"Cui Cui, is your princess here?"

Zhang Cuicui chuckled and said, "Yes, where are you going to take my princess to today?"

"What is a kidnapping? That's what you said..."

Li Xiaodao: "It's like this. I have finished reading several books in the study room where I live. I would like to ask the princess to take me to read the books together. If I have any questions, I can ask them in time."

Li Xiao made another request: read a book together and ask questions in time.

Li Xiao divides love into three stages: budding stage, development stage, and sweet stage.

When men and women are in their budding stage.

You can't just wander aimlessly on a date.

Rather, come up with specific goals and objectives, not too explicit, just something ordinary.

Girls generally won't refuse such a request.

In the development stage, when the two of them know each other, it's okay to meet up in the evening and walk aimlessly by the lake.

If it is the sweet period, it means that we want to stay together no matter what time, and we will feel happy no matter where we go.

Even if we stick together in a daze, it is happiness.

When it comes to falling in love, you should take it step by step, and you can’t become fat in one bite.

Sure enough, not long after Zhang Cuicui went up to report.

Zhu Ningyun went downstairs.

When they met this time, she was not so restrained and smiled at Li Xiao:

"Master Li Xiao, let me take you to the library in the mansion. I have finished reading all the books in the house these days, so I just happened to go over and get some books."

Li Xiao hurriedly bowed as a gentleman, "This is your honor."
