When Fang Chen heard what the father and daughter said, he immediately became furious: "Are you threatening me?"
"No." Tang Qingshan said: "I am just stating a fact."
Fang Chen still refused: "I don't accept this fact!"
"Since we both want to cut off all contact, let's cut it off completely and completely. We will not only cut off all the salt business, but also cut off all other business between the Great Yan Dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty. !”
Ye Fan and Lu Yang were stunned. What Fang Chen said was a complete break with each other.
Lu Yang hurriedly said: "Master Fang, we have had business dealings with the Daqian Dynasty for many years, how can we cut it off all of a sudden? Master Fang, you must not be impulsive and think twice before you act."
"Besides, this matter is not that simple, and you can't make the decision on this kind of thing. Why don't we go back and rest, come back another day, and let's talk slowly."
Ye Fan said: "General Lu, Mr. Fang has his own sense of proportion!"
Of course Fang Chen knew that Lu Yang was very anxious, fearing that after the talks collapsed, the Great Yan Dynasty would no longer have salt.
But Fang Chen will not give in or compromise, and he will never give black powder to the other party.
Tang Qingshan and his daughter believed that Fang Chen was deliberately putting pressure on them.
Tang Qingshan said helplessly: "Master Fang, do you think you can suppress us like this? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Do you really dare to sever all ties with our Daqian Dynasty? Even if I give you ten thousand courages, you won't Dare you?"
"I thought Guiguzi's disciples were so great. They only know how to fight and kill. They don't understand anything about the negotiation table. It seems that they are nothing more than that!"
Tang Qingshan was completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter and was still suppressing Fang Chen.
Facing the other party's ridicule, Fang Chen took out a token.
"This token represents our Majesty! So, I am here to negotiate on behalf of Your Majesty this time!"
"Give you ten days, your Qiankun Chamber of Commerce and all the people will withdraw from the Great Yan Dynasty!"
"Of course, we from the Dayan Dynasty will also leave the Daqian Dynasty!"
"From now on, there will be no more trade!"
Tang Qingshan and his daughter were stunned. They did not expect that Fang Chen was serious!
He is a madman!
After saying that, Fang Chen strode outside.
"Two adults, aren't you leaving? Are you still waiting for someone else to take care of lunch?"
Fang Chen, Lu Yang, and Ye Fan left.
Tang Yanran looked at Fang Chen's back, her face turned livid with anger.
Tang Qingshan was also filled with anger!
"Yanran, this Fang Chen is a complete lunatic!"
"Is it possible that he really dares to sever all ties with our Daqian Dynasty?"
Tang Yanran was unsure. She thought for a while, "If it were anyone else, he would definitely not dare to do it, but if Fang Chen said it, he would definitely dare to do it!"
"It's just that Fang Chen has completely turned against us. Does he really want no salt?"
Neither of them could understand this.
Only they have salt, others don't!
Tang Qingshan thought thoughtfully, "Even if Fang Chen wants to cut off trade with us, His Majesty and all the civil and military officials will not agree!"
"Now that Fang Chen doesn't agree to give us the formula for black powder, let Bai Yongliang do the rest."
Tang Yanran nodded: "As long as the follow-up plan succeeds, Fang Chen will definitely betray everyone this time, and no one will support him!"
"When a person reaches a desperate situation, he will definitely agree to our conditions, or stand on our side, or we can directly take Fang Chen away and work for our Daqian Dynasty!"
Father and daughter are plotting.
…
General's Mansion.
Lu Yang frowned, he couldn't express the pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to offend Fang Chen.
Ye Fan asked: "Master Fang, don't just drink tea. Now that we have completely fallen out with the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, what should we do next?"
The reason why Fang Chen took out the token before and wanted to cut off all contact with Da Gan was that he had a plan.
Because Fang Chen thought of a way to make table salt!
"Two adults, please be patient. I have solved the salt problem. From now on, we no longer need to import salt from the Daqian Dynasty, but we can make it ourselves."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Yang and Ye Fan were both stunned.
If anyone else had said these words, they wouldn't believe it to death, but these words came from Fang Chen's mouth!
And seeing Fang Chen's confident look, he must have something to do.
Lu Yang and Ye Fan both looked at Fang Chen with strange expressions. Lu Yang asked, "Master Fang, are you serious about this?"
Fang Chen was very sure, "It's absolutely true!"
Ye Fan looked puzzled, "Since Mr. Fang has a method for making table salt, why didn't you propose it earlier?"
If there really was a way, I would have done it long ago, why would I have to travel a long way here!
Fang Chen said: "Because I didn't think of this before. According to my understanding, the salt in this world is extracted from salt wells, mines, etc. And our Great Yan Dynasty lacks these."
"When I came to Nanhai City and saw the sea in the distance, I knew the answer. Because there is a lot of salt in the sea, we can extract table salt from the sea water!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Fan and Lu Yang looked strange.
Lu Yang said: "Master Fang, seawater is astringent. Everyone knows that there is salt in seawater. Many people have also made efforts to extract the salt from seawater and use it as table salt."
"However, the substances in seawater are a mixture of many kinds. It is impossible to eat the things that are extracted. People will get sick if they eat them, which is very scary!"
"The salt dug out of the salt well is very pure, and that is the salt we eat."
Fang Chen flipped through his memories. The higher your cultivation level, the better. The information deep in your mind that you have been exposed to before will emerge one by one.
Fang Chen quickly found out how to make table salt.
The salt in seawater is indeed a mixture, containing sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, etc. Seawater is astringent, and what is left besides water is brine, which is inedible!
Of course, ancient people had no way to fully purify the salt in seawater into edible table salt.
But Fang Chen can!
In other words, this technology is successful. As long as there is the sea, there will be endless salt!
At that time, who will want to take the salt of the empire?
Fang Chen expressed his thoughts.
"What? The salt in sea water can be eaten after being purified and filtered? How... is this possible?"
"Oh my god, Mr. Fang, are you so sure? Is it really possible?"
Fang Chen was sure again and again, but Ye Fan and Lu Yang kept expressing doubts!
If this technology were successful, it would be terrible!
Fang Chen said: "If you don't believe it, you will naturally believe it when I make the salt."
Next, Fang Chen took a pen and paper and began to write down the method of making salt.
There are several ways to turn seawater into table salt.
The oldest method is the "fire salt boiling method", which uses fire to boil seawater to dryness to obtain white sea salt. Many people use this method because they cannot afford salt, but they have no way to purify it. If you eat too much of this kind of salt, it will cause harmful effects.
It caused great harm to the human body and was later banned.
