Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 18, Conspiracy

"Since we are doing business together, we naturally have to share the money together. What's more, there are still many places to rely on you in the future."

Liu Jin looked at the two of them, and it was obvious that both of them were very serious, and they didn't give a damn.

"That doesn't work either. Brother Jin, you discovered this method of making money. We haven't done anything, so how can we divide the money?"

Zhao Heishan shook his head again and again, honestly, he knew very well that the most important thing in life is duty.

"Let's do it this way, three to seven, you three, I seven, this is the head office, right?"

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, coming from later generations, Liu Jin believes that only common interests can bind people together firmly. As for relying on so-called morality, character, etc., Liu Jin doesn't think so. Nothing can stand the test of interest.

"No, no, Brother Jin, if you insist on doing this, then treat it as if we haven't been here today, and we will keep the secret you said forever, and we will never let it out."

Zhao Heishan still shook his head, not daring to covet dividends at all.

"There's really nothing I can do with you, so let's do it, just [-]%. This achievement is considered your labor reward. If you do things for me, I can't help but pay my wages, right?"

Liu Jin really has no other choice, and he really doesn't understand the thinking of the ancients. The benefits of this free gift are not worth it. This snow salt is very profitable. As long as you firmly grasp this method of making money, you will naturally have a steady stream of wealth in the future .

However, Zhao Heishan refused to accept the wealth delivered to his door. If it was placed on a modern person, he would definitely have to worry about it.

"That, all right."

Zhao Heishan was silent for a while, thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

It would be a lie to say that they are not tempted. Liu Jin and Zhao Erhu have earned more than 10 taels of silver after 10 days of work. A catty of snow salt sells for 200 renminbi.

"That's great~"

"Uncle Heishan, let's discuss how to operate so as not to be discovered by everyone as much as possible, and to keep our source of income."

When Liu Jin heard this, he laughed happily, and then began to discuss with Zhao Heishan's family how to make money by purifying coarse salt on a larger scale.

"Our snow salt is actually extracted from coarse salt. It is obviously not cost-effective for us to boil the coarse salt and purify it. I think, we simply buy coarse salt from others, and then we refine it into snow salt, which is more efficient. Faster and more convenient."

"This is good, but if we buy coarse salt, it will definitely attract the attention of others."

Zhao Heishan listened carefully, and when he heard what Liu Jin said, he thought about it and said it.

"That's a problem, Uncle Heishan, do you have any good solutions?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately frowned.

The last time Liu Jin purified snow salt, in order not to attract attention, he asked Zhao Erhu to bring back brine from the sea to cook the salt, and then slowly refine it into snow salt. The efficiency was very low, the output was very leisurely, and a lot of waste wasted time.

"I think we need to build a larger yard first, and the walls must be built higher so that people outside can't see inside."

"Then we have to divide the step of extracting snow salt into many steps, put the simple, non-core steps in the yard, and the most important thing is to put them in the house, so that even if someone comes in, it's just Just seeing us boiling salt doesn't immediately reveal our secret."

"It's easier to buy coarse salt. Isn't snow salt sold to salt dealers? Every time I sell snow salt, I buy some coarse salt from salt dealers by the way, so that people in the village will not be suspicious. .”

"In this way, it will be invisible. Even if someone has doubts, we can let them come to the yard to take a look and dispel their doubts."

"However, the best way is to buy a piece of land and build a large manor when you have money, or go to the sea to find an island, so that it will be more confidential."

Zhao Heishan thought about it carefully, and said slowly, the most important thing about refining coarse salt is the method, and other things are very simple, once this method is leaked, it is impossible to make money from snow salt.

"Well, that's all for now."

After listening to what Zhao Heishan said, Liu Jin also nodded. Although buying coarse salt from the salt dealer will let the salt dealer know that the snow salt is extracted from coarse salt, this secret cannot be kept for a long time. It will be known to all.

The key is the method of refining crude salt. As long as one can firmly grasp this method, the source of income from snow salt can be in one's own hands.

It doesn't take too long, it only takes a few years to make a fortune by relying on this snow salt, with golden fingers in hand, and relying on various advanced technologies, you can develop various profitable things. At this time, the secret of this snow salt is not important.

"There are two important steps in refining crude salt. One is to filter insoluble impurities, and the other is to remove soluble impurities through chemical reactions."

"Among these two steps, it is better to add some more useless steps, which can increase the difficulty of being cracked. This needs to be well designed. Zhao Heishan's family also needs to observe more. The heart of defense is indispensable. what."

Liu Jin thought quickly in his mind, and he was also thinking about confidential matters.

The current conditions are still limited. If you have money, build a large village, buy some slaves, and then divide the extraction process into many steps, and use the assembly line method to extract coarse salt. This is the safest method.

"Uncle Heishan, there is about half a month before the salt dealers come to our village. During this period, you still need to work hard to bring back the brine."

"No hard work, no hard work, this is what should be done."

"Let's work hard. I promised Erhu that he will have money to marry his mother-in-law during the Chinese New Year. This snow salt is very profitable. If you make money, Uncle Heishan, your family can also build a better house. Erhu will marry a wife It's naturally easier."

"It's really worthless, I just want to marry my mother-in-law~"

"Haha~"

……

Liu Jin, Zhao Heishan and others discussed together for more than an hour, and carefully went through all aspects of refining coarse salt, taking all aspects into consideration, trying not to attract others' attention as much as possible, and making a fortune in silence.

"Jin'er, you've grown up!"

When Zhao Heishan and others went back, Liu Jin's mother, Wang Shi, looked at Liu Jin and said with satisfaction.

She saw everything at night, Liu Jin seemed to have grown up overnight, he was already a man, he could be a pillar of man.

"Mother, I can't help it either. This Tang Huo is staring at us mother and son. If he doesn't do anything, he will eat us to the brim sooner or later."

"It is definitely not an easy task to deal with Tang Huohu. We have no money and no one, so I also want to pull Zhao Heishan's family and slowly accumulate strength."

Liu Jin smiled and said helplessly.

"I also know that last time Tang Huo killed you, brother Jin. If it weren't for the blessing of the ancestors, if you had any troubles, I would have no face to meet the ancestors of our Liu family."

"Tang Huo will not let us go, it's good for you to be prepared."

"However, making money is a small way after all. If you want to really beat him, you still have to study hard and try to go to high school next year. Naturally, you don't have to be afraid when the time comes. It will be easy to take revenge when you get ahead in the future."

Wang is not a pedantic person, and she has seen Tang Huo's true colors clearly, and she is very supportive of her son, but she is more interested in taking the path of studying and taking the test of fame, which is the path she has been insisting on for more than ten years.

"I know that I joined Zhao Heishan's family to save time and energy to study hard and prepare for next year's college entrance examination. Otherwise, if I rely on myself, I will not only make money but also study, and my energy will definitely not be enough."

Liu Jin nodded and said, he naturally didn't dare to tell Wang that he should have no hope of taking the imperial examination.

"I'm relieved that you have your own arrangements."

Hearing Liu Jin's answer, Mrs. Wang also nodded in satisfaction. Liu Jin is a good boy, and she has been very worry-free since she was a child.

Then she seemed to think of something, thought for a while and said: "Brother Jin, you are already seventeen years old. Originally, I wanted to wait until you were in high school before I would talk to you about marriage."

"Now that you've grown up, this Zhao Heishan wants to find a mother-in-law, and you should probably find a warm bed. Even if you get married, I think you can take a younger one first."

"Our family didn't have any money before, but now that you have the way to make a fortune from Xueyan, you will naturally have the money. You can start a family and start a business sooner, and I can have grandchildren sooner."

Wang Shi smiled and discussed with Liu Jin. She had just heard about Zhao Erhu's desire to marry his mother-in-law, and then she remembered that Liu Jin was already very old.

"Mom, I'm still young, not to mention that I still want to concentrate on the examination of merit. If I have merit, why don't I have a wife."

Hearing Wang's words, Old Liu Jin blushed, and as he talked, he even mentioned the matter of marrying wives and taking concubines. You must know that in later generations, seventeen years old is just a high school student and a child.

"Jin'er, you're right. If you don't have fame, you won't be able to marry a famous lady. An ordinary wild girl is not worthy of our Jin'er. If you want to marry, you have to marry a beautiful, well-educated lady from a great family."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Mrs. Wang thought about it and nodded. She had high expectations for Liu Jin, and she never told Liu Jin that her marriage was also considered in this regard. Otherwise, Liu Jin would have the reputation of a scholar and grow up. He's pretty, and his family has more than ten acres of land, so it's not difficult to marry a wife.
