Huo Guang originally negotiated with the Sang family for 30% of the profits, but this time he only wanted 20% of the Sang family's. Because the Sang family cooperated with the imperial court, Huo Guang knew that a large part of the profits would definitely belong to the imperial court. This was also Sang Hongyang's wish for the emperor.
Sincerity, so he relented and did not ask for 30%, but 20%. He came up with a recipe himself, and the Sang family would do everything else, so he could accept 20%.
Moreover, Huo Guang firmly believes that if you follow a million to earn a hundred thousand, if you follow a tens of millions to earn a million, even if the court does not directly intervene in the Sang family salt industry, as the most important part of the official Shanhai policy that the emperor wants to do, the emperor will definitely help secretly.
Let Sangjia Salt Industry continue to grow.
It seems that my share ratio is small, but maybe the total amount will increase.
As for when the royal family will completely take over the salt industry and turn it into a government-run business, such a big thing will definitely not be settled in three to five years, and it may not even be fully government-run in the end. The Sang family will still have to keep some of the profits.
Sang Hongyang is not a philanthropist. He can earn as many years as he can by lying down.
A few days later, Sang Jin arrived at Huo's Mansion in a carriage. It was actually quite close, but for a wealthy family, their footsteps always touched the ground when they went out.
Qiuxiang opened the door and saw the extremely talented woman getting off the carriage. She was immediately dwarfed by her. Sang Jin was extremely good-looking, and she was dressed exquisitely and luxuriously when she went out, let alone Qiuxiang.
, 99.99% of women feel inferior when they see him.
Sang Jin was quite surprised to see Qiuxiang. Most people don't have such fair, tender and beautiful maids.
"Young lady, please come inside." Qiuxiang invited Sang Jin in. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Huo Guang smelting iron.
Huo Guang has been obsessed with iron smelting these days. There are strange things in the whole yard, and Sang Jin can't figure out what these iron rods and iron round cake-like things are.
"Aguang, did you refine all of these?" Sang Jin asked in surprise as he looked at the strange things on the ground.
But in her opinion, these things seemed to be defective, because these things were weird and she had never seen them before.
Huo Guang stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said proudly: "Yeah, what do you think." After these days of training, the things he refined have become more and more refined.
At first, the iron sheet was really rough and looked like it was roughly made, but now the connecting rod he made has a somewhat serious look.
Sang Jin was not very embarrassed and couldn't understand what these were, but reluctantly said: "It's... not bad."
"Here, help me take a look." Huo Guang showed it off excitedly, regardless of whether Sang Jin came over for something.
As Huo Guang started refining, huge energy flowed around. Sang Jin was shocked. She had never seen anyone able to activate such a huge amount of energy. She stared blankly at Huo Guang, frozen in place from beginning to end.
.
When Huo Guang finished refining, he walked up to her, took the refined piston and asked, "How is Sang Jin? I have refined this thing now and its surface is very smooth."
When Sang Jin came to her senses, she didn't care about the strange thing on Huo Guang's hand that he was showing off.
"Ah Guang, your energy is too great."
When she said this, Widow Wang happened to walk out of the door, quickly stepped back, and said secretly: "Today's young people speak too frankly in broad daylight."
Huo Guang looked at Sang Jin in confusion. Without investigation, he has no right to speak. Why did you say this?
"Ah Guang, can you activate such a large amount of energy every time you refine it?"
"Oh, you are talking about this Qi. Is this a high level? Basically, it is like this."
"At least ten times more than ordinary scholars."
Huo Guang scratched his head: "Then I don't have an idea."
"Oh, by the way, what do you want from me?"
After a brief shock, Sang Jin remembered the business and said, "My father has agreed to the method you mentioned before and will give you 20%."
"Okay." Huo Guang replied simply.
Now he is focused on the steam engine. Since the royal family has intervened in the pearl salt matter, it is impossible for him to occupy it anymore. He now has bigger things to do.
Sang Jin didn't expect Huo Guang's reply to be so bland.
"Aguang, you don't seem surprised."
"Your father is a powerful person. He always makes the right decisions and makes decisions that are beneficial to him. Although he cheated me, to be honest, I admire him. No wonder he can create such a big family business."
Sang Jin looked at Huo Guang curiously. In the letter, her father not only agreed with Huo Guang's plan, but also tactfully expressed that she and Sang Yu could get closer to each other.
"What are you looking at?" Huo Guang felt Sang Jin's gaze and asked curiously.
Sang Jin's face turned red, he lowered his head and said, "Ah Guang, what are these things you refined for?"
Huo Guang, with the connecting rod in his left hand and the piston in his right hand, pulled Sang Jin to a kettle and said, "Come on, take a look."
As he spoke, the flame under the kettle was lit.
Yes, Aguang started to boil water.
Sang Jin looked puzzled as he watched Huo Guang boil water. The kettle looked no different from an ordinary one. The only difference was that its spout was blocked.
"Aguang, what are you doing?"
"Boil the water."
"What will happen if it burns?"
"It will open."
"Then what?"
"The lid will be lifted."
The communication between the two seems to be on different channels.
As the water boiled, the pot lid was pushed up. Huo Guang placed the connecting rod and wheel on the edge of the pot lid, symbolically moved the connecting rod with his hand, and then said: "I thought of this connecting rod, and then
When the lid is pushed up and lowered, the connecting rod is driven and the wheel is connected to make the wheel rotate."
"Ah?" Sang Jin still didn't understand.
"If this can be turned and installed on a car, you can boil water and start the car, and you won't need a horse in the future."
The horseless world is always so fascinating.
Sang Jin seemed to understand and asked: "But what's the use of this?"
Huo Guang and she couldn't explain it clearly: "I'll show it to you after I make it. Then I'll probably have to ask your father to invest some money in me."
Huo Guang is trying to make a steam engine these days. The principle of a steam engine is very simple. He has seen it on Bilibili and small video websites, and also learned it in his own school. However, when he really wants to make a usable steam engine, he still encounters some problems.
Small difficulties.
He knew the principles, but he couldn't memorize the details. He could only build, polish and study bit by bit.
For example, the way the connecting rods and pistons move, and the structure inside the steam engine, he can only think about it and try it out at the same time. The parts he makes are getting better and better visible to the naked eye, but the refining of these these days seems to be difficult for people in this era.
It was such a strange thing that Huo Zhongru grabbed him every day when he came home and called him a stupid boy.
Sang Jin thought about it for a moment, but she couldn't understand it, so she stopped thinking about it. Instead, she said: "Ah Guang, you can try the fresh Ganzhe (sugar cane) I brought you." She waved to the servants to take it.
Come in.
As soon as he heard about sugar cane, Huo Guang became energetic again. Without the pearl salt, another small white crystal was delivered to his door. Art is indeed a crystallization.
