If we can really turn these billion taels of silver into real gold and silver, it will directly kill half the life of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
But Luo Longyu already understood that these banknotes were issued privately by the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. They had the assets to issue such a large amount of banknotes and to give so much to Fang Chen.
It is almost impossible to get them to spend real money.
Assets and funds are two different things. Just like if you have a house worth one million, and you are asked to come up with one million in cash, you may not have it.
Luo Longyu thought for a while.
"Even if I help you ask for money, the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce can delay it again and again, and you can't do anything to them. And once I take action, the other party will definitely think that I and you are in the same group, and I am on your side.
Your Majesty's move is to drag me down."
Fang Chen smiled and said, "I'll give you half of it after everything is done. How about it, Second Prince?"
Half, that's five billion silver. Who wouldn't be tempted by it?
However, Luo Longyu is also a person who has seen the world, and he still said without changing his face: "This method alone cannot bring down the Bai family. Don't forget, the Bai family now controls the salt of the entire Great Yan Empire.
Whoever dares to touch the Bai family will lose all the common people and everyone."
Fang Chen chuckled and said, "I'll tell you the truth, Second Prince."
"I have solved the problem of salt. I occupied an island in Nanhai City and produced a large amount of salt on the island."
"I promise that within three months, all our people across the country will be able to eat salt, and it will all be processed fine salt!"
If you don't say anything shocking, you will die.
Luo Longyu was immediately stunned.
"How is this possible? Mr. Fang, do you know how much salt all the people in our Great Yan Dynasty consume in a day? You said you can make salt on the island, how is this possible?"
No one would believe these words if they heard them. Even if it was said by Fang Chen, the maker of this miracle, Luo Longyu also expressed doubts.
Because the place of production of salt is the Daqian Dynasty.
The geology of the Dayan Dynasty made it impossible to produce a large amount of salt, so for a long time it could only be imported from the Daqian Dynasty.
Fang Chen explained: "Second Prince, how could I deceive you about such an important matter? This is related to the life and death of our Great Yan Dynasty and the people of the world."
So Fang Chen explained his method of making salt from sea water, and had already created real fine salt.
As he spoke, Fang Chen took out a small porcelain bottle from his bag and poured some salt out of it.
"Second Prince, this is the fine salt I made. Try it."
Luo Longyu was extremely shocked. This was incredible.
The method of refining salt from the sea has been impossible since ancient times. Even the salt-producing country of the Daqian Dynasty could not do it because the salt extracted from seawater is impossible to eat. There are too many impurities and cannot be filtered out.
of salt.
They couldn't do it, but Fang Chen did it.
He uses modern technology and can do it easily.
Luo Longyu looked at the extremely fine salt in front of him, even several times finer than the salt used in the palace.
He couldn't believe his eyes, and then he grabbed the table salt and put it into his mouth. When he tasted the salt, it melted in his mouth, and a salty taste spread throughout his mouth.
The taste and feel were more delicious than any salt he had tasted before.
At this time, Luo Longyu was extremely excited and couldn't contain his emotions at all.
"Master Fang, this salt is the best salt I have ever seen in the world!"
"Master Fang, you are really amazing. You have created miracles time and time again. You can actually extract salt from sea water."
Fang Chen was very satisfied when he saw the shocked Luo Longyu.
Refining table salt from seawater had a huge impact on Luo Longyu.
"Second Prince, think about it carefully. The sea is endless, so we have endless resources to refine salt as much as we need."
"Not to mention feeding all the people of the entire Great Yan Dynasty, even if the Great Yan Dynasty is ten times or a hundred times larger, we can still afford it."
Luo Longyu tried to calm himself down, thinking about what Fang Chen said.
Indeed, the sea water in the sea is endless and will never be exhausted, so there is as much salt as you need.
What's even more terrifying is that the method of making salt is completely controlled by Fang Chen and the Great Yan Dynasty. In this way, it won't be long before the Great Yan Dynasty can replace the Daqian Dynasty and become the largest country with salt. .
Furthermore, the table salt extracted from seawater is extremely fine, several times finer than the table salt exported by the Daqian Dynasty.
Moreover, the labor and cost of refining salt from seawater are also very low. Even if the price is the same as the price exported by the Daqian Dynasty, it will still be a huge profit!!
Just because the Great Yan Dynasty possesses this technology and this industry, the entire Great Yan Dynasty can become the first dynasty in the entire world.
The more Luo Longyu thought about it, the more surprised he became. This was too terrifying.
However, what Fang Chen said next shocked Luo Longyu again.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, Your Majesty doesn't know about this matter, and no one else in the imperial capital knows about it now, so I want to leave this matter to Your Majesty to handle!"
"That is to say, the making of salt was the prince's idea. All the arrangements and everything have nothing to do with me. They were all done by the prince."
In fact, Fang Chen did not discuss this matter with Luo Ningxin.
Fang Chen was chatting with the prince on a whim, and suddenly wanted to tell the second prince about his production of salt, and drag the second prince into the water to deal with the matter.
Fang Chen asked Luo Longyu to directly confront the Bai family, the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, and the Daqian Dynasty.
This is much better than Fang Chen coming forward.
Because the second prince is a prince after all, representing the royal family and the court.
Besides, Luo Ningxin asked Fang Chen to secretly investigate Luo Longyu. At this time, Fang Chen dragged Luo Longyu into the water. With long-term cooperation, he can investigate slowly.
Luo Longyu did not expect that Fang Chen would give him such a big gift, first giving him five billion taels of silver, and then giving him such a good thing as making salt.
This is simply pie in the sky.
However, Luo Longyu did not agree, but said: "Master Fang, you just want to drag me into the water. You want to turn your enemy into my enemy."
"You have given me so many benefits, but I also have to bear too many responsibilities. Do you want to use my hand to get rid of your enemies?"
Fang Chen smiled and explained: "Second Prince, you don't have to think too much, we are actually a cooperative relationship."
"The Second Prince has helped me and saved me before. Even when I had an accident in Qingyun Mountain, the Second Prince came to support me personally."
"The Second Prince has given me so much kindness, but I can't repay it. I have always kept it in my heart. Now that there are so many benefits, I will definitely give you half of it. I just don't know if you want it?"
