Since Fang Xuanling allowed Zhang San to meet his daughter before marriage, Zhang San had to worry about it. After having a conversation with Fang Keying, he got up and left.
When I got home, I saw Li Tai sitting alone in the living room drinking tea, "Why are you here?"
"You are finally back. If you don't come back, I will leave."
When Li Tai saw Zhang San coming back, he put down his tea cup and said to Zhang San angrily.
"Why are you here looking for me today?"
"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"
"Of course not. As a prince, you must have a lot of things to do all day long. How can you be so leisurely? Didn't I say last time that you had to go to class every day?"
"Forget it, it's boring to be with a bunch of mean people. I'm here to fulfill my promise." After Li Tai said that, he took out a notarized contract from his arms.
"What promise?"
Zhang San took it and took a look, and suddenly remembered that Li Tai actually owed him a salt mine.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it."
Zhang San carefully looked at the notarization of the contract and was very happy to see that this salt mine was actually located in Lantian County, not far from Chang'an.
"There is still mineral salt in Lantian? Is it true?"
It's only half a day's journey from Lantian to Zhangjiacun, which makes it convenient for Zhang San to mine.
"Of course it's true. I can still lie to you. You'll know when you take a look. I've given you the things. You can just go and receive them someday. I'll leave first."
After Li Tai finished speaking, he patted his butt and prepared to leave.
"It's so fast. Why don't you stay for a casual dinner tonight?" Zhang San seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Li Tai talking about the salt mine, but he didn't think much about it. Seeing that Li Tai was about to leave, he stood up and asked to stay.
"No, I'm afraid I'll fall down if I drink again." Li Tai still remembered that he was carried back last time, and he felt uncomfortable for several days, but he didn't dare to drink with Zhang San and others again.
After Zhang San sent Li Tai away, he collected the notary certificate very excitedly. With this salt mine, Zhangjiacun Industrial Park has another project.
This year, Zhang San's thousands of acres of fields have also harvested a lot of grain. Zhang San is planning to build his own brewery. Sugar beets are now planted on a large scale. In the future, the sugar factory will have new raw materials.
Zhang San couldn't wait to take Muramasa, Fugui and others to Lantian early the next morning to inspect the salt mine.
When they arrived at a place in Shimen, Lantian County, they saw the salt mine, which was just a "mountain of earth." Zhang San estimated that it would be difficult to extract two to three thousand kilograms of fine salt even if it was emptied out, and his nose almost became angry.
However, after visiting around, I suddenly discovered that this place is rich in geothermal resources, and there are several natural hot springs not far from the salt mine.
Maybe Li Tai also felt that Zhang San was being fooled too much, so the mountainous area where the above hot springs are located was also classified under Zhang San's notarization.
"Sir, there don't seem to be many salt mines here?" When Muramasa learned from Zhang San that there would be salt for sale in Zhangjia Village, he was very happy. Unfortunately, seeing the salt mine, what did Muramasa do?
It doesn't look like it can produce much salt.
"There's no hope of selling salt. That fat guy Li Si is too deceptive. But I lost something and gained something. I found something better than the salt mine." Zhang San said with a proud smile.
"What is it?" Fugui asked curiously. They ran around and found nothing special about this place.
"Did you see those hot spring pools just now? That's a good thing. If we develop it in the future and just sit and collect tickets, it will last longer than selling salt."
"Ticket fee?" Muramasa and Fugui looked at each other, confused.
"I can't explain it to you in just a few words. I'll tell you slowly on the way back. I'll leave Muramasa's handover with the Lantian government to you. I'll take Zhang Zhi and the others back first. You and Fugui pay attention to your safety."
Zhang San thought about building this place into a resort in the future. Then he would bring Keying, Xiaoyu and the others here to soak in the hot springs and take a vacation. By the way... he was very excited just thinking about it.
So Muramasa and Fugui were left to take their own documents and contracts and hand them over to the local officials. From now on, this place will belong to Zhang San alone.
I ran back excitedly, preparing to make careful plans to create a tourist resort famous throughout the Tang Dynasty.
"Third brother, why have you been giggling since you came back? Are you crazy?" The younger sister asked in confusion when she saw Zhang San holding a blueprint and sitting there with a grin on his face.
"You just hit the devil. Third brother, I found a good place. I will take you to enjoy it in the winter. I will make sure you are satisfied." Zhang San said angrily.
"What a good place? Didn't you go to collect the salt mine today?" the little girl asked curiously.
"Forget it, the broken salt mine is not enough to cover my labor costs. Let's leave it alone first. I plan to build it into a famous tourist resort in Datang."
The younger sister is not interested in or understands any tourist resorts, but is concerned about the salt mine, "Did King Wei lie to us? This fat man is really not at ease and kind."
"I would also like to thank him. No matter how long a salt mine is mined, it will always be exhausted. However, those hot springs are different. They can be passed down from generation to generation, and they can also make a lot of money."
Although the salt and iron monopoly system was not implemented in the early Tang Dynasty, according to historical development, this piece of cake would be in the hands of the court. After all, this piece of cake was too big, and it would also be one of the main sources of taxation and finance for the court.
Zhang San had not originally planned to sell salt by himself. After all, competing with the emperor for food would be risky.
"How to make money?" When the little girl heard Zhang San said that she could make a lot of money, her eyes lit up instantly. She had great trust in Zhang San's ability to make money.
"To put it simply, we invest money there and develop it. The selling point is the geothermal hot springs. Then rich people come here for vacation and leisure. We charge tickets. At the same time, when people come, they always eat, drink and relax.
Go to sleep, we can provide these and then charge..."
Zhang San told the younger sister the business model of the hot spring resorts in his previous life. When he saw the younger sister scratching her head from time to time, he knew that the younger sister didn't understand.
"In short, that place doesn't seem to be as good as a salt mine now, but when Third Brother I develop that place, you will know what is good." Zhang San patted the little girl's head lovingly and smiled.
said.
"Okay, it's just that I don't understand. The hot spring you are talking about, Third Brother, isn't it just a hot pool? Will anyone go to bathe there? Isn't it the same as boiling water at home?"
"It's different. I'll take you to experience it when the time comes. The quality of other things depends on how to guide and promote them. If you don't understand this, you will understand in the future."
"Okay, as long as Third Brother understands, that's enough. Then I'll help Third Brother collect the money." The younger sister held Zhang San's arm and said with a sweet smile.
"No problem, all the financial power of our family will be given to my little sister." Zhang San scratched the bridge of her nose and said with a smile.
"When Sister Keying comes in next month, Sister Keying will be in charge." The young girl suddenly lowered her head and said.
"If you manage it together, our family's property will grow more and more in the future, and one person can't manage it." Zhang San didn't know why the younger sister suddenly felt depressed, so he quickly comforted her.
"Well! Will the third brother love me as much as he does now?" The younger sister looked into Zhang San's eyes and asked.
"Of course, don't think too much. The third brother always loves his little sister the most."
"Third brother, please continue working. I'm going back to the house first." After the younger sister said that, she jumped up and ran to the bedroom.
Zhang San smiled knowingly, "It's great to have a sister!"
