Liu Chan glanced at Zhuge Qiao, smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, Bo Song. What I mean is that the Salt Refining Department will need to refining in large quantities next."
"Bosong must be mentally prepared."
"Once refined salt goes on the market, demand may soon exceed supply."
Zhuge Qiao nodded. He completely believed this. After all, refined salt is many times better than salt in terms of taste and health.
These days, they have begun to eat dishes cooked with refined salt. The taste is completely different from the food made with salt, which can be found in dozens of streets.
If refined salt comes out, there will be no rush to grab it.
Currently, this is the only place in the world where refined salt can be refined, and the sales volume will definitely be astonishing.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Qiao said: "I have also thought about this problem. If it is only for us big men, I think this place should be able to satisfy."
"That's not possible!" Liu Chan quickly waved his hand and said, "Refined salt is the only thing in the world, but this refining technique, no matter how we keep it secret, will eventually be known to the world."
"Now that our country, the Han Dynasty, is weak, the Prime Minister will definitely send his troops northward. Then there will be more places to spend money."
Hearing this, Zhuge Qiao nodded in approval, and Liu Chan continued: "We can only do our best to let the world know the refining method later, and we can also take this opportunity to increase some income for my big man."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhuge Qiao complimented.
"Wise! Haha!" Liu Chan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If I do nothing, how can I be worthy of the late emperor and the prime minister."
"I don't know how to lead troops to fight," Liu Chan continued: "Reviving the Han Dynasty depends on the Prime Minister. What I am doing now is just to share some of the burden for the Prime Minister, so that he will have less worries in the future."
Zhuge Qiao was very moved when he heard this. Although he was not Zhuge Liang's biological son, since he had adopted him, Zhuge Liang was his father.
Over the years, he has also felt sorry for Zhuge Liang.
The Han Dynasty is weak, and there are Wei and Wu who are looking around. It is really not easy for my father to remain invincible in such troubled times.
The emperor had done nothing before, and all the burdens fell on his father.
It's fine now.
The emperor is at least thinking about helping to share the burden, and once these refined salts are put on the market, a large amount of money will flow into the Han Dynasty.
Next, my father will march north, at least he will no longer have to worry about money.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Qiao suddenly knelt on the ground with a pop and kowtowed three times: "I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of my father, and thank Your Majesty for your concern for my father."
"Get up!" Liu Chan hurriedly helped Zhuge Qiao up and said, "Bosong, it is me who should be grateful. The Prime Minister worked hard to share my worries, and also shouldered the important task of reviving the Han Dynasty. It was me who was young and ignorant and wasted my time.<
/p>
Next, I hope that Bosong will work with me to revive the Han Dynasty for the Prime Minister and relieve his worries. Will Bosong help me?"
Zhuge Qiao was really moved. Liu Chan's change made him happy. He knelt down again: "I am willing to do my best."
"Okay! Bosong, get up quickly!"
"Your Majesty!" After Zhuge Qiao stood up, he turned and pointed into the distance: "I have an idea!"
"Bosson, please speak."
"Your Majesty, I discovered several caves of different sizes near here the other day. I think we can expand these caves."
"In this way, the refining methods of the Refined Salt Refining Department can be kept more confidential, and at the same time, the production can be greatly increased."
Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Bosong's words are very in line with my wishes. This matter will be handled according to Bosong's wishes."
"No!"
"By the way, Bosong!" Liu Chan suddenly took Zhuge Qiao's hand and said, "When the Prime Minister's teacher returns to the court, Bosong can tell the Prime Minister without reservation that maybe the Prime Minister will have a better business model.
."
"No!"
Zhuge Qiao responded, and Liu Chan continued: "As for the dozens of soldiers I trained, Bo Song will keep it secret for me for the time being."
Zhuge Qiao was stunned when he heard this, and Liu Chan looked around before saying, "I don't know what they can be trained into. When they are trained to my satisfaction, I will let them go to the Prime Minister's tent to listen to them."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will keep this in mind!"
Zhuge Qiao immediately responded with his hands in hand.
Liu Chan specifically mentioned this matter because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.
After all, he has never interfered with state affairs since he came to the throne. If Zhuge Liang comes back and finds out, the little emperor suddenly started training new troops.
It may cause him to misunderstand.
What does the little emperor want to do?
Why train new troops?
The Han Dynasty cannot afford turmoil now, let alone suspicion between the emperor and his ministers.
Moreover, Liu Chan’s purpose in training these soldiers was not to target Zhuge Liang.
For Zhuge Liang, he has 10,000 peace of mind.
After all, there is history to prove it.
Liu Chan still believes that before the Han Dynasty is revived, the Han Dynasty must listen to Zhuge Liang.
Even if he is a time traveler, he knows the process of history.
Everything Liu Chan is doing now is from the bottom of his heart, just to help Zhuge Liang share some of the burden so that Zhuge Liang will not be like what he did in history.
No matter how big or small the task is, just do your best and die.
The purpose of improving rice cultivation is to increase the grain output of the Han Dynasty. When there is more grain in the future, Zhuge Liang will no longer have to worry about food during his Northern Expedition.
The purpose of refining refined salt is to make money.
With money, you can recruit more soldiers and horses and build more weapons.
As for training new soldiers, Liu Chan did have his own little idea, but it was also to help Zhuge Liang in the upcoming Northern Expedition.
Maybe he will help Zhuge Liang at a critical moment.
After getting to know Zhuge Qiao in the past two years, he believed that if he didn't let Zhuge Qiao talk, Zhuge Qiao would definitely keep it secret.
Now I tell Zhuge Qiao personally that I treat you sincerely. If you betray me and disappoint me, you will be sorry for me.
Hum——
……
In the next few days, Liu Chan stayed in the Salt Refining Department for three days and discussed a lot with Zhuge Qiao about the next development direction of refined salt.
The fourth day.
Liu Chan left the refined salt refining department and returned to the recruit training camp. He did not ask Zhuge Qiao to follow him. He asked Zhuge Qiao to put all his thoughts on the refined salt.
Liu Chan only stayed in the training camp for two days.
On the last night, Liu Chan met with the 21st New Army soldiers in the hut.
He is Yang Tongshan. He is the oldest and most stable person among this group of soldiers.
"Yang Aiqing!" Liu Chan whispered: "You must remember what I just said to you, and don't let me down!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Yang Tongshan bowed and said: "Thanks to your Majesty's love, I entrust you with such an important task. I will swear allegiance to your Majesty to the death."
"So good!"
Liu Chan was very satisfied, and early the next morning he took ten New Army soldiers and headed towards Chengdu.
