Li Xiaogong knew Tang Sufan's ability in business.

Not to mention Xiaoyaoxuan Zhuyu, the papermaking and bookmaking business that cooperated with the imperial court was definitely a very profitable business.

That directly affects the lifeblood of scholars all over the world.

There is also the coal business, which has become a hot commodity for the people in Chang'an City. If Tang Sufan had not been compassionate, the price would not be high.

In just these two months, he can make a lot of money.

Also, the queen recently summoned a group of noble ladies to give her perfume, which attracted even her own ladies to be fascinated by it.

Li Xiaogong even sent someone to inquire about it, and found out that it was a business between Tang Sufan and the Queen.

When it comes to making money, it still depends on Tang Sufan. Didn't you see that the two people in the palace started business with others?

As the changes in his son become more and more obvious since he became a disciple, and more and more different things are revealed in his son...

Although, some things are weird~

But it didn't stop Li Xiaogong from being extremely satisfied with Tang Sufan as a teacher, and also had some inexplicable trust in Tang Sufan.

Even if he loses money, he still has to return a favor.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, everyone, you can imagine how profitable this business is. However, as for this business, I am only worried about whether we can do it in Chang'an City..."

Tang Sufan's slender fingers tapped slowly on the round table, and that last sentence made Yu Chigong's eyes widen.

"Su Fan, don't you underestimate me? If you don't say too much, I can get you 20,000 yuan, not to mention the county prince is here. You kid, don't be too secretive. Just talk about the business. ~"

"Although none of us are short of family resources, who doesn't like making money? If it's really like what your kid said, just don't worry about it?"

After all, he was wealthy, and with the character of Captain Chi Gong, he was immediately aroused, and he patted his chest and said.

And Hongfu Nu also said: "Yes, Su Fan, please tell me first, what kind of business is this? Can you do this?"

Tang Sufan looked at everyone present, his expression changed, and he said helplessly.

"Everyone, the biggest problem in this business is not how to do the business, but the family..."

"Aristocratic family? What does Su Fan mean by this?"

Qin Qiong tugged at his beard, and his eyes became more critical.

"Everyone, I won't be too pretentious. We'll find out later~"

Tang Sufan smiled mysteriously and turned around to greet Uncle Wen casually.

Uncle Wen understood the words, smiled cheerfully, then limped, turned around and went out for a while.

The old man held a medium-sized urn in his hand, and the urn was blocked by a cloth.

The urn was placed on the table, and Tang Sufan took it over.

Push it to everyone~

"Look, everyone, this is the business I'm talking about. You guys and Sister Hongfu are all people I can trust. If it were anyone else, I would never dare to show it~"

Niu Jinda looked at it for a few times but couldn't figure out the reason, so he asked: "Su Fan, is this wine?"

"Brother Niu, don't be impatient, wait and see~"

Tang Sufan moved slowly and slowly, slowly opening the cloth cover, scooping out a thin substance as white as snow with a spoon from the altar, and poured it directly on the table.

Everyone looked over and even Li Hongying raised an eyebrow.

this is not……

"Su Fan, is this... salt of yours?"

Yuchi Gong frowned and took a look, feeling a little unsure.

I'd say it's salt, but why is it so white...

"Brother Yuchi has a good eye. This is salt. Moreover, this is the salt I am going to sell for 40 cents per catty..."

Forty articles! ! ! !

As soon as Tang Sufan finished speaking, Li Xiaogong and others looked stunned?

"Su Fan, forty coins? How can salt be sold for only forty coins per catty!!?"

Don’t blame them for being amazed.

In the early Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was a precedent of using salt as monthly money, replacing wages, which shows that salt was a "harder" hard currency than banknotes in ancient times!

But salt itself is an expensive and profitable thing, and it is something that is out of reach of the people these days.

There is no salt at all in the dishes of ordinary people's homes. Most of them just use vinegar cloth to add some flavor.

Normally, when the year is good, you can still eat some coarse salt throughout the year, but during the years of disaster, you can't even see that.

What's more, that fine salt is something that only nobles from wealthy families can afford.

Salt, to put it bluntly, is a luxury product these days.

It can even be said to be an extremely important strategic material.

In ordinary times, a pound of coarse salt could be sold for three hundred coins, and that was in a normal good year.

Forty coins per pound of salt, who is not allowed to say that you are mentally ill?

"Brothers, let's not talk about the price of this salt. Everyone, what do you think of this salt?"

Tang Sufan looked at everyone with a smile and looked like they had never seen the world before speaking slowly.

"Pure white as snow, as fine and moist as sand! If this is really salt, I have never seen such refined salt..."

Li Hongying murmured.

"This kind of salt is even better than fine salt. This, this, this, this, forty coins?!"

Yuchi Gong stood up directly.

Niu Jinda simply dipped his finger in it and put it directly into his mouth.

The next second, Niu Jinda felt an extremely pure salty fragrance spread on his fingertips, even so pure that he felt a little panicked.

Along with the indescribable pure salty fragrance, the disbelief spreads directly to the entire face!

The people at the table looked over and saw Niu Jinda staring with big eyes and saying in shock.

"What a pure salt! I have never tasted such refined salt. Su Fan, this salt...is...really 40 cents a pound?"

Yuchi Gong also took action directly and glanced at Tang Sufan with another shocked look.

"It's considered to be good salt, Su Fan. Is this salt really only worth forty cents? Give me a hundred pounds first...oh no, five hundred kilograms!!!"

Following Niu Jinda and Yu Chigong's experiments, Qin Qiong, Li Xiaogong, and even Hong Fu Nu started to take action directly.

They had never seen such pure salt.

Just when you think the shock is over, Tang Sufan pondered again and said with a smile.

"Everyone, the cost of salt is forty, and I only need ten cents per catty..."

! ! ! ! ! ! !

This sentence made everyone at the table freeze in shock!

Not only were these five great figures who had made contributions in troubled times shocked, but Li Hongying's face under the red gauze was as solid as ice and snow.

More than ten cents per pound of salt?

How could there be more than ten cents per pound of salt?

"Su Fan, this salt really only costs more than ten yuan per catty??!!!"

Qin Qiong also glanced at Tang Sufan with a solemn expression and asked in a deep voice.

With Tang Sufan's nod...

Qin Qiong sighed: "God bless the Tang Dynasty! God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

With this salt, Qin Qiong could already see too many things from behind.

Just from the perspective of the merchants, the driving force behind this is enough to shake the financial resources of a country!

With the reaction of several big bosses, Chai Lingwu had already lost his temper...

I was waiting for my eyes, just like a silly doll.

If this salt is really going to be sold.

I'm a good boy!

Then you don’t have to make crazy money to make money! ! !

And Li Hongying and Li Qingtang looked at each other and it turned out...

What others say is true, this business!

It’s enough to qualify as ten Qinghe Chamber of Commerce!

Because this is no longer just a money-making business, behind it is the people's livelihood of the entire Datang!

Based on this, how can you say that it is just a matter of making money?
