The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 196
"No money! Credit first! I'll give it to you when I'm free!"

Gu Yi shook the lease document and said: "Also, the rent is paid once a year, and the bill is settled at the end of the year! Moreover, it has nothing to do with you whether I earn more or less in this bittern mine in the future!?"

The owner of Xiaoyi is a cub who sells his father's land and doesn't feel bad. She doesn't know where that town is, and she hasn't been there twice at all. Not to mention selling this abandoned mine that has been almost dug out for 500 million gold It's been a year, it's the heyday, and even her father would agree to rent it to Guyi, a new big family and rich old man.

Seeing that Lord Xiaoyi readily agreed, Gu Yi took out his special graphite charcoal pen, and symbolically signed his name on the lease document. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he signs it or not. The other party has nothing to do with it, it all depends on the word of faith.

Huhu on the side saw that both sides looked satisfied. Although he felt that renting a piece of residual mine for 500 million gold a year was indeed a big profit, he didn't know why, and always felt as if he was cheated there.

He knew that this evildoer in front of him could refine bittern into snow crystals. From what he had seen in the past few days, this evildoer turned decay into a magical method. He must be able to earn a lot of gold from this residual mine. Otherwise, with his shrewd and devil-like temperament, he would never be so stupid as to rent this remnant mine for twice the price that this brine mine produced in its heyday.

Adding the phrase "How much I earn has nothing to do with you!" made Hu Hu even more vigilant, and opened his mouth to remind Lord Xiaoyi, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Because after thinking about it, he found out that he has a mysterious method and a secret technique that can refine bittern into snow crystals. That is his method. Even if he can use this residual ore to earn ten times the income, it is his ability.

Even if they hold on to this residual ore and cannot refine mud into crystals, they still have to gnaw at the capital of only 150 million Dajin that year. Now that their annual income has more than tripled, what is there to be dissatisfied with? ?

But Hu Hu thought a lot, but he absolutely couldn't imagine how much benefit Gu Yi could get from it!

With Guyi’s salt-making method, one tantalum brine can filter out about fifteen kilograms of salt grains. The seven brine mud pools alone produce 20 yuan of salt from the brine mud that emerges from the ground every month. With tantalum halide, he can brew 3024 tons of coarse salt!
As for the so-called "turbid brine", Gu Yi estimates that it is the underground salt mine layer. The ancient seawater came out, so in theory, the salt content is about the same as that of seawater, which is 3%.

It doesn’t matter to Guyi whether it’s turbid or not, it has to go through multiple layers of filtration anyway, and the “bucket” that Huhu said before is about 110 liters, and according to this ratio, 1925 million barrels of brine can be boiled Produced [-] tons of coarse salt.

Blackhalite and halogen crystals are actually rock salt crystals, almost 100% of which are salt. The reason why they are classified as high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade is mainly because of the impurities, taste, smell and other factors contained in them, which affect the price. Essentially speaking, the composition of blackhalite and top-grade halogen crystal is the same.

In this way, 264 tantalum "blackhalite" and [-] tantalum "low-grade halogen crystals" can be filtered to obtain more than [-] tons of coarse salt.

In other words, even if Guyi doesn't renovate and expand the brine mine in Xiaoyi's main fiefdom, it is only the existing original output, and a total of 5213 tons of coarse salt can be boiled every month!

And the more than 5000 tons of coarse salt, if replaced by Dahuang weights and measures, would be more than 8207 million 釿. With such a large amount, it would definitely not be able to sell one 釿 for [-] daijin, and [-] dajin would be a little overhang. After all, it is really affordable. There are not many local tyrants with "high-priced salt". No matter how valuable the salt is, what is the difference between it and sand if it cannot be sold?
So, there is bound to be a substantial price cut, but even if it falls to the same price as [Top Grade Halogen Crystal], a piece of gold only costs 48 gold, which is a huge profit of [-] times for Gu Yi, what else is he not satisfied with? of?

In comparison, the annual rent of 500 Dajin given to the owner of the small city is really not even a drop in the bucket. What is the difference between picking it up for nothing?
After silent calculation in Gu Yi's mind, he was startled by the terrifying astronomical figure, he sighed, and accidentally made a huge profit, and it was still such a huge amount.

He originally planned to give Master Xiaoyi some benefits, and cooperate with her to develop the brine mine. He provides technology, and Master Xiaoyi provides resources.

But he never expected that he was just haggling habitually, and the owner of Xiaoyi agreed to the rent of 500 million dajin so quickly. Take it out for cooperation.

However, after he habitually calculated the income, he found that it was even better. The 500 million Dajin was just an amount that could satisfy Baozheng without easily becoming greedy, and this amount was for the owner of Xiaoyi Yes, Baozheng also has Gu Ning in charge of bribery.

If you think about it, the rent of the bittern mine and the "trade tax" dividends of the "Xiankong Madao Construction Agency Investment Company" are enough to firmly tie the officials of the [gentry] political department of the Baozheng line to the fabric of their own weaving. Can't you move your interests online?
Rubbing his chin, Gu Yi did some calculations, and found that this salt making seems to be very profitable, and it can be used as the main product in the near future. It is both hidden and profitable. There is no need to waste a lot of food like wine making to meet the needs of construction funds in the two places, and save food as much as possible to feed the people.

Moreover, salt is not like wine. Wine is a luxury in the wilderness, and the poor must not be able to drink it, but salt is a necessary material for survival from the nobles down to the slaves, even those slaves in [Li Lan], In order to ensure that they have the strength to work, the official envoy would buy some smelly stewed mud and melt it with water every once in a while, and after a little precipitation, each person poured a ladle.

Guyi was not in the Great Wilderness World. To be precise, he did not find the so-called "salt and iron monopoly" system in [Zhongrong County]. Although the iron materials are controlled, it is only because the iron materials are basically military supplies. It is not enough to make weapons, and the people will be allowed to waste a lot of iron.

No one cares about salt. It’s not that they don’t want to manage it, but they don’t have to. Wherever there is salt production, it is basically occupied by the city orders and forts of [Shicheng] and [Jongbao]. The natural brine crystals produced are simply in short supply. There is a shortage of salt everywhere. The people eat so-called "light food". The sale of salt in the market is something that the rulers can't wait for, and there will be restrictions.

Under such a social background, the salt and iron business planned by Gu Yi was provided with an innately good development environment, and there was no need to worry about being arrested for selling salt and iron.

According to the recommendations of the doctors in Guyi's world, with a daily intake of 5 grams of salt, a person can only consume 150 grams of salt a month. The 5000 million talents are exhausted. Even if he will have a population of 500 million subjects under his name in the future, and some of them will be self-produced and sold, there will still be a "gap" of 2000 million people.

According to Gu Yi's speculation, if the price of salt is 500 Dajin/釿, it is estimated that only nobles who own fiefs can afford it, and the population of this class is less than one ten thousandth of the total population of the Great Wilderness, so this price is not considered.

If the price of salt drops to 100 Dajin/釿, the [noble people] class, which accounts for about [-]% of the total population, can barely afford it, but they are not necessarily willing to buy it often, so they sell it at a high price in the short term Salt is okay, if the price is maintained for a long time, the salt produced cannot be sold at all.

It has to be reduced to at least 10 Dajin/釿, and the [noble people] class is willing to eat salt, so that Gu Yi can really develop the salt industry.

As for the [common people] class who can earn a big gold a month and live a good life, I can only be sorry. When Guyi can develop modern salt-making equipment, I will consider reducing the price of salt to a level that they can all accept price it.

This price reduction process from one thousand gold to ten gold is affected by [Qingshi City]'s own consumption demand, initial production speed, and the possibility that a certain industry will need to consume a lot of salt in the future. It should last for two to five years. It will take about a year to complete the price reduction.

During this period, just selling "high-priced salt" is enough for Gu Yi to make a lot of money, at least he doesn't have to worry about the cost of materials for building the city.

After signing the lease document, Gu Yi naturally planned to take people to the brine mine for on-the-spot inspection to see whether to build a salt factory and large-scale salt-making equipment on the spot, or consider the fuel for cooking salt and the difficulty of transporting materials. The raw materials are transported back to [Qingshi City] for processing.

After all, the large and small biogas digesters that have been built in [Qingshi City] can provide natural biogas fuel for boiling salt, and no need to waste effort to dig coal mines. They are clean, hygienic and energy-saving. He needs to see them in person before making a decision. The next detailed plan will do.

But before Gu Yi and his party left [Sinking Valley], as soon as they walked near the iron courtyard, they felt a gust of bad wind, and Gu Yi was caught in the armpit by the old dwarf who suddenly rushed out of the fire hole, and kidnapped him. Into the fire hole, a group of people beside him, including the black-armored guards led by Ziyu who were said to be extremely powerful, failed to react for a while.

After a while, they came back to their senses. The powerful black-armored guards around Huhu and Ziyu stammered tremblingly, "Shao... [Shao prison]!? No! No! That's [ A big man who is too strong! ”

The owner of the Xiaoyi on the side was taken aback, the highest rank among the four ranks of "Jie, Yi, Ji, and Lao"?
The black-armored guards around Lian Ziyu, who usually don't show their mountains or leak water, are nothing more than [Ji Pin], and [Long Pin] fighters can be regarded as extremely rare peak fighters in [Ironforge]. Strong!
