T-shaped Volume Chapter 130: Snow White Road to Money, Budai Saltworks

 "Dongfan Reclamation? You mean you are interested in participating in Dongpan Reclamation?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask one more question.

"No, no, sir, you have misunderstood. We just want to know about the strategy for the reclamation of Dongfan. Well, what are the imperial court's considerations for the reclamation of Dongfang..." Wang Jiuyu stammered and couldn't help but sweatdrops on his forehead.

seeped out.

Feng Ziying was even more surprised. She didn't come here for reclamation, but she wanted to ask about reclamation in Dongfang. Why?

Looking at the other party, Feng Ziying's expression became more and more serious. Wang Jiuyu's scalp was numb and she couldn't help but said: "Sir, we are all salt-eaters. Who knows how to cultivate land? It's the businessmen like Longyou and Anfu who

An expert in this field, hehe,..."

Feng Ziying suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes were as sharp as a sword, and she nodded slowly: "I see, you are interested in Dongfan's salt business?"

Wang Jiuyu's majestic body like an ox trembled slightly, and his expression was a little strange, but in the end he sighed and nodded: "Your Majesty, we have been doing this for generations. After the salt affairs in Zhejiang and Zhejiang were cleaned up, we were forced to leave our hometown, but

You and Mr. Wang just now know that we are all relying on hard work to make a living. We have no other abilities and can only eat this bowl of rice. If we leave this profession, we will only starve to death and become bandits..."

"Humph, Wang Jiuyu, are you threatening me?" Feng Ziying snorted lightly.

"No, no, I made a mistake. I just want to say that our group of people are desperate now and want to find a suitable place to go. Since the imperial court intends to reclaim Dongfan, then Dongfan is also a barren land now. If the imperial court allows it,

We are also willing to take the lead for the imperial court..." Wang Jiuyu carefully considered his words while observing the changes in Feng Ziying's expression.

"Following the lead for the imperial court, Wang Jiuyu, do you and your group of people have such good intentions?" Feng Ziying laughed loudly and shook his head repeatedly, "The purpose of reclaiming the land in the east is indeed one of my purposes for coming south this time, and your news

You are quite well-informed, and you actually know that I intend to let the Longyou and Anfu merchants start the business first. You also want to reclaim land in the east, but it is not to help the court reclaim land and resettle the landless refugees. I am afraid you want to occupy this market first.

?”

Feng Ziying was also observing this guy and thinking about his intentions.

"But this requires land reclamation. Within three to five years, the Dongfan Salt Industry's market will not be of much significance. It will take at least ten or twenty years before it can be comparable to a prefecture like Ningguo or Guangde, right? You will take a fancy to it.

this?"

Wang Jiuyu was speechless, while Feng Ziying locked eyes with him like a falcon, and said slowly: "This Dongfan Salt Market is meaningless in a short time, so what other plans can you guys who rely on salt have?

Salt farm, what else can there be?”

Wang Jiuyu was horrified and moved. The other party was really powerful. He could figure out so many things in just one stick of incense, and he also directly made his purpose clear.

"As far as I know, Dongpan is close to the line of Penghu. The terrain is low and flat. The climate is dry in winter and the sunshine is long. It is the location of natural sun salt. Moreover, there are few rivers in the area and there is not much rain. The sea water along the coast is

The salt content is higher than other places. The salt production rate of the salt fields in Lianghuai is better than that of Changlu and Lianghuai, and the quality of the salt is also higher. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to that place? You must have made a good idea."

Wang Jiuyu's face turned pale. The biggest secret was actually revealed casually by the other party, and the information he knew was even more detailed and accurate than what the people on his side knew!?

Did someone leak the news?

impossible!

Even he only knew that the southwest corner of Dongfan near Penghu was flat and the sun was strong in winter, so it was suitable for salt exposure, but he did not know why the nearby seawater had higher salt content and less rain.

When Feng Ziying saw the other person's expression, she knew she had guessed it.

Butai Saltworks was the most important saltworks in Taiwan in later generations. Together with Changlu and Yinggehai, it was also known as the three major saltworks in China. It was famous for its high quality. Feng Ziying still knew this common sense.

However, although the conditions of the Butai Salt Field are superior, in the previous life it was not developed until the Qianlong period, mainly due to issues of land reclamation and population, but now, it seems that I can advance this history.

If this guy hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have remembered that there was a Budai salt field in Dongfan.

Because in later generations, this salt farm is really not very important, let alone a financial pillar, but in this era, for the current court, it is simply a cornucopia, and of course it can be sold at a good price.

Her heart was open, but Feng Ziying still had a smug smile on her face, as if she was laughing at the other party for not realizing it, thinking that she didn't know about the situation, which made Wang Jiuyu feel even more uneasy.

This guy is really a man of wealth, and he actually brought him such a new way all of a sudden.

"Sir, have you known this for a long time?" Wang Jiuyu's expression changed constantly, and after a long time he said with a hint of bitterness.

"Wang Jiuyu, I specially included the reclamation of Dongfan in the strategy of opening up the sea. You don't think that I just let Longyou and Anfu merchants go to Dongfan to resettle some refugees. It's that simple to open up land and reclaim wasteland, right?" Feng Ziying He said plausibly, "If I don't have any confidence, how can I dare to make suggestions to the imperial court? I just didn't expect that you, the guy, could actually come up with the idea of ​​Dongfan Salt District."

Wang Jiuyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some difficulty: "Does your Excellency mean that this Dongfan Salt Field has already been booked?"

"That's not true." Feng Ziying shook her head and said casually: "Eastern Fan is full of wastes waiting to be renovated. Reclamation involves all aspects. I have only just come up with some general ideas, but this salt field must be the top priority. There is no room for error, and you should also know that there are many mountain people on Dongfan Island. If you are an ordinary salt merchant, I will give him this license. How can he play well? If you don't give me two stones, you can do it yourself. If you give up your life, the death of others is a small matter, but if you delay the important matter of reclamation in the east, that is a big deal!"

"Yes, yes! What your Lord said is true. The mountain people on Dongfan Island are very fierce. The government certainly doesn't have that much energy to take care of them. If ordinary merchants want to develop salt fields, they will definitely conflict with the mountain people. By then, If you delay your great cause of reclaiming the east coast, you will be dead. You must find one or two people with experience in this field and some manpower to ensure that this kind of development is safe..."

Wang Jiuyu thought that his trip was in vain, but he didn't expect that the matter of the salt farm was still unresolved, and seeing that this person meant that someone with some force would need to be able to take this job, he immediately

Then my heart started to move.

There are many desperadoes under his command who work as private salt dealers, and they deal with the inspection department and the local security forces all day long. Many times, they have to use force, and they are risking their lives with their heads high.

But the people behind him have a lot of connections and money. Combining the two, plus the Dongfan Salt Farm, isn't this a God-given opportunity and a match made in heaven?

"Wang Jiuyu, you are quite good at talking. How dare you, Wang Jiuyu, be the only one who can do this in Dongfan Saltworks?" Feng Ziying chuckled.

"The adults are joking. The younger one just wants to say, please give me a chance. Well, it's not just the younger one, there are also some other people. They are all very optimistic about the adult's plan to develop and reclaim Eastern Fan. They are also willing to help.

The imperial court has done its part in developing and reclaiming Dongpan, so please give us a chance. We will definitely be unforgettable in the future..."

Seeing Wang Jiuyu's sincere words, Feng Ziying was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wang Jiuyu, do you know that the reclamation and development of Dongpan is not a trivial matter. The unpredictable risks I mentioned before are only one aspect. You may not accept them."

Only when I got into this job did I realize how hot it is..."

"Don't worry, adults. Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. Now that I have eaten this bowl of rice, I don't take this life seriously. If I sleep at home, the beam may collapse and crush me to death. This

In this world, can you make money just by sitting at home?" Wang Jiuyue's words sounded quite bachelorish.

"Well, you are open-minded. In that case, do you know the specific situation of Dongfan Salt Field? I guess you should have done some exploration, but you may not know it carefully. I suggest that you quickly arrange for someone to go to Dongfan.

I need to find professionals on the spot to survey the salt field and salt drying situation. On the other hand, I also need someone who can talk to me. Wang Jiuyu, with such a big business, you don’t think that just a few words can be enough.

Can I leave it to you? You all know that the court is in a difficult situation right now. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Jiuyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I understand, I understand, it's just..."

Seeing that Wang Jiuyu's face looked a little strange, Feng Ziying chuckled, "Why, is there anything else you can't say? Of course, I just don't blame you."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. Well, sir, you also know that I'm just here to greet you. Well, I have to go back to convey some things. Well, I want to ask about an approximate amount so that I can have an explanation when I go back..." Wang Jiuyu

It was difficult to say these few words, but my eyes were full of expectation.

Feng Ziying laughed and tapped her fingers lightly on the table, "You are not smart in asking this question. Then you should ask what do you want? Dongfan is a place that is only involved in the imperial court's strategy of opening up the sea.

The initial investment in development is definitely not small. Apart from performing daily jurisdiction, the imperial court has no intention of getting involved. Well, or to put it more bluntly, the imperial court can directly allocate the salt field to you for development, either to your family or to a few people.

Home, I think you should know how big that area is. It depends on your bid. In addition, you can sell salt by yourself, but you cannot sell it into Dazhou. You can also sell it into Dazhou, such as Nanzhi.

Zhejiang or Huguang or Jiangxi, but this needs to be discussed in detail. In a word, the price may be different for each condition, do you understand?"

Seeing that Wang Jiuyu had some enlightenment, Feng Ziying added: "Since you are allowed to come, you must have given some thought to this aspect. If you don't have any strength, you probably won't dare to come to this business. In this way, I

I’ll give you a month to come and have detailed discussions with me within one month. After one month, I may have other arrangements.”
