Section 294 Salt is not for smuggling

Liu Xianlun continued: "According to Shaojun's algorithm, 600 million jin requires about 120,000 mu of salt fields. I calculated that the salt fields we can transform in the end are almost this data. However, what we can achieve at most is no more than 330 million jin, so why is it less? After finishing my work here, I will go to Lin'an to ask Shaojun for advice."
At this time, one pound is equivalent to 650 grams of later generations, and Liu Xianlun's management can reach a production of about 200,000 tons in later generations.
Lei Ao didn't think too much and gave the four people a single point of the roasted wild game: "It's nothing if you can't achieve it. Let's set a small goal and first reach one million dans. It's still possible to work harder."
"Next year, two million burses can be guaranteed, as long as there is manpower or enough cattle and horses." Liu Xianlun believes that this is not a big goal.
Enough money.
But money must be turned into manpower, and enough cattle and horses can be turned into salt fields.
Zhao Yuanzhuo asked: "How much is the benefit of a million dan of salt?"
Liu Xianlun had already calculated that: "We cannot calculate according to the court's salt method. The profit of five cents per kilogram of salt is 500 million yuan."
Liu Huai interrupted at this time and said, "It's a bit high. My uncle discussed with Brother Jiang. The profit that ended up falling in his hands is at most a half penny. It's enough to get a penny into the hands of the soldiers. The salt price must be reduced. Two Xi, two east and west routes in Jiangnan, two east and south routes in Huainan, and the people in Guangdong and Guangxi cannot eat salt for up to twenty cents per catty, which is basically guaranteed to be within fifteen cents."
Liu Xianlun just listened, but he didn't answer.
But I knew in my heart that the court's annual military expenditure is as high as 60 million chunks, and it can be said that most of the military expenditure is spent on salt. However, the water in the military expenditure is huge, and the annual rewards of the salaries of the nobles, and the military expenditure embezzled by civil servants are tactful.
70% of the military expenditure did not actually fall into the lowest level of soldiers' pockets and ordnance manufacturing.
At this time, a Liu family soldier rushed over and came to the four of them to salute him. Then he took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and held it in front of Liu Huai in his hands.
Liu Huai took the bamboo tube and took out a piece of paper.
There are chaotic words on it, which cannot be identified at all.
Liu Huai first studied it carefully in the bamboo tube lid for a while before taking out three hexagonal wooden sticks of different thickness from his arms, and then cut the paper into thin strips with a knife and tied it to one of the wooden sticks. After Liu Huai read it, he threw the paper stick into the fire and stuffed the wooden stick back into his arms.
Lei Ao was jealous: "What new object is this?"
Liu Huai signaled his personal soldiers to leave first, and when he saw that there was no one around him at fifty steps, he said: "This is the use of Jiang Taigong's Yin Talisman. My uncle and I have an agreement to use only three Yin Talismans every month, so I will carry three of the eight Yin Talismans with me. Then this wrapping style originated from the secret ancient Greek grammar thousands of years ago."
It's so amazing, but Lei Ao still doesn't understand.
Liu Huai said again: "There is still a brand new secret grammar in progress, but Brother Jiang's wedding will probably take some time. So now this will be used first. However, let's talk about the serious matter."
When it comes to serious matters, no one has asked more about this secret grammar.
Liu Huai said: "There is a sure news, my father wrote to me and said that Jiang Qiu is in Wan."
Liu Xianlun's face changed slightly: "Is this meaning that the young master of the Han family will get Wancheng in autumn? How is this possible?"
Liu Huai said: "Don't doubt it. If there is any uncertainty, my uncle will not send someone to send an urgent secret text."
"I see."
Liu Xianlun looked like he suddenly realized.
"The three generals heard from me that before Jiechi produced 1.3 million dan of salt every year. After we lost our understanding of the Chi, we moved our capital to Lin'an, the Salt Law was changed three times. The Salt Law was not implemented in the Fuzhou area. Once the Salt Administration arrived, the local Shanmen would be given a knife and axe. In other places, the Salt Administration was harsh and the private salt was excessive."
Lei Ao asked: "What does this have to do with us? We are also selling private salt."
"Wrong." Liu Xianlun retorted loudly: "We sell salt, and there is no difference between official salt. Where is Jiechi? Guan Yunchang's hometown, where is it controlled by the Jin Kingdom. Where is Wancheng? It can be said that all the salt used in the two lakes is transported from Jiechi. Are these salts public or private? Is our salt transported to Wancheng? Is it difficult for us to transport salt to Wancheng?"
Liu Huai said: "It's not difficult. Someone in Xiangyang's garrison must have contacted him. Most of the salt on Jinghu North Road comes from Huai Yan, and a little half comes from Shu Yan. Ninety percent of the salt on Jinghu South Road comes from Huai Yan. The salt on Jiangnan West Road is mixed, including Guangyan and Huai Yan. The salt on Jingxi Road is Huai Yan and the salt of Jiechi."
Liu Huai said while drawing a simple picture on the beach.
"We went upstream from the Yangtze River. It can be said that the salt on both sides of the Yangtze River can be delivered, and no one dared to check the military ships. Even if there are a few people who are not good at eyeballs, they cannot be senior officials of the fourth grade or above. Let's do it ourselves below the seventh grade or below. If there are really a fourth grade or above, the Han family will also have a way to restrain themselves."
Liu Xianlun also said: "This is a big game. First, the salt on the southwest road of Jingxi Road will be cut off. The salt in the drilling pool will lose its business, and then the salt price in the rest of the area will be reduced. Within two years, it is estimated that the private salt dealers will die and the salt merchants will not be able to hold on. Then a new round of dynasty struggle will be ushered in the court."
Those who dare to sell private salt are not afraid of beheading people.
The bulk of the chunks are all supported by the powerful.
Speaking of this, Liu Xianlun gently patted his leg: "It seems that I will quickly get things done in the Yantian area here, and then go to Lin'an within half a month, and some things need to be asked in person."
"Okay." Liu Huai also thought that Liu Xianlun should have met Han Jiang.
Liu Xianlun suddenly changed the topic: "Do you know that the Qian family used the Six Secret Pavilions to test Shaojun that day?"
Lei Ao directly replied: "I haven't heard of the Six Theories, that's what you scholars fool us big and rough people."
Zhao Yuanzhuo had heard of it, but he did not intend to answer the conversation.
The same is true for Liu Huai. He didn't know why Liu Xianlun mentioned the Six Theory at this time.
"Inside the country and outside the Xia, inside the Xia, outside the barbarians. This statement has a new interpretation, from the Heling Girl in Lin'an Prefecture. I have heard a rumor that the young master of the Han family had a plan to recruit heroes through a prestigious woman. It was originally the Yingyue girl in Huamanlou, but she unexpectedly turned into Heling Girl."
"Why?"
"Miss Yingyue is too young, and she can also talk about it after listening to a play, saying that the world is heartless but powerless."
