Chapter 239 Salt as a guide

Yunfeng kept talking for a long time, almost copying the "History of Western Wonders" specially issued to the two Zhaos. In his mouth, overseas became an infinitely beautiful paradise. In contrast, China was regarded as

It contrasts with a place of poverty and chaos.

As he spoke, Yunfeng secretly observed everyone's reactions. Sima Shao and Geng Liang's eyes flashed, and they looked very yearning. Although the other four people looked like they were listening, it could be seen that these four old guys were not impressed.

My interest lies solely in listening to anecdotes.

'Middle-aged and elderly people do not have the spirit of adventure and cannot be enthusiastic about new things, but Geng Liang still has the entrepreneurial spirit!'

Yun Feng thought secretly after shutting up. Just as Geng Liang's name popped into his mind, Geng Liang's voice rang in his ears: "Excuse me, General Yun, how did you learn about the overseas situation?"

Yunfeng came back to his senses and laughed: "Haha, please forgive me for letting the general know this. Du Tinghou and the other gentlemen have time to go and find out. I will know that it is not an empty lie."

Xun Song glared at him angrily and said displeasedly: "Since General Yun doesn't want to say more, it's inconvenient for us to ask more questions. However, just now you mentioned that enclosing the sea to dry salt can also stabilize the price of salt. This

Can you elaborate a little bit?”

Yunfeng cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, Secretary General Mo, is about to mention this matter. Sea salt is often extracted by decoction and boiling, which is called boiling the sea to make salt. Mo General plans to use the coastal beaches to build salt fields and dry them in the sun."

Evaporate to obtain bitter brine, which is then introduced into the crystallization pond

If you continue to dry in the sun, salt will precipitate. This method is easy to operate and has a huge yield. The tens of thousands of people can be organized by Mr. Zhong to make a living. If nothing unexpected happens, Haimen County will leapfrog in a few years.

And for me, it is the largest salt producing area in the country!”

Yunfeng said it concisely and clearly. Everyone understood it as soon as they heard it, and their expressions suddenly became extremely complicated!

Salt is a hugely profitable industry that is often exclusively controlled by the state and is an important source of income. However, the salt industry in the imperial court is in the hands of a few big gentry along the coast. It is conceivable that once salt-drying around the sea is promoted, it will

What impact will it have on the price of salt? What price will the nobles who depend on salt pay for their livelihood?

They finally understood why Yunfeng dared to boast that it could stabilize the price of salt. It was true that a large amount of salt could be obtained by drying salt around the sea.

After a long while, the six people gradually recovered their strength. Bian Yi seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart. He couldn't help asking: "General Yun, please forgive me for talking too much. Salt can make huge profits. This is an indisputable fact. But Yun

General, since you have a method of enclosing the sea to dry salt, why do you want to make it public? Don’t blame me for thinking about a gentleman’s belly with a villain’s heart, and I am very puzzled. Please clear up my doubts.”

The other five people also had the same idea. If he didn't want such a good opportunity to make a fortune, what was he going to do? They all looked at Yunfeng with different expressions.

Yun Feng said sternly: "Bian Shangshu asked a good question, but I will think that the salt industry is related to people's livelihood, and anything related to people's livelihood cannot be profited from it. The people are already in misery. Why bother to stare at their tight babbling?

Money bag? Please forgive me.

What is the difference between making money for people's livelihood and plundering people's fat and anointing, sucking people's flesh and blood? There are countless ways to make money in the world, but you can never make money for people's livelihood! This method will eventually be revealed to the public, and this is the end of those who suck people's fat and anointing.

Thoughts!"

Bian Yi was in awe and couldn't help but said loudly: "Okay, today I know General Yun's true intentions. He is indeed a pillar of the country and the people!"

Xun Song's eyes turned to relief when she looked at Yun Feng, she stroked her beard and laughed, obviously she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Wen Qiao, Geng Liang and Sima Shao secretly exchanged glances, and the vigilance in their eyes disappeared in a flash!

Xi Jianze frowned and asked: "Salting around the sea is indeed beneficial to the people, but General Yun, have you ever thought about how the few nobles who make a living in the salt industry will respond if this method is popularized?

?I'm just afraid that if I get angry, I might act excessively!"

Yun Feng said lightly: "This is strange. He boils his salt, and Zhong Shao basks in Zhong Shao's salt. The two have nothing to do with each other. What is he so angry about? Then again, if he is unreasonable, he feels that he

If he is hit, he can also go to the sea to bask in the salt. There is so much sea water, who can restrain him?"

Xun Song took it and said with a wry smile: "Hey, General Yun, are you really ignorant or are you just pretending to be stupid? Those houses are all located in Wu County, along the coast of Huiji. Compared with Xinli Haimen County, how can there be any tidal flats? Where to encircle it?

Salt from the sea? You are ruining people's livelihoods. It would be strange if you don't get up and cause trouble. The court will not be peaceful again!"

Yunfeng chuckled: "Is it possible that the dignified Wang family of Langya is still afraid of a few low-class nobles? Even those handsome refugees from Jiangbei looked at Hong Hong and came to harass them, so they wouldn't take it seriously. Fortunately, today the great Situ

Not here, otherwise if you hear what Zhongshu Ling says, you will definitely leave in a hurry!

Then again, doesn't Shangshu Ling also have tens of thousands of songs in his hands? If there is a conflict, how can he ignore his in-laws? Moreover, the court can take the opportunity to take back the salt industry. Although it won't make much money, it will still be easier.

It falls under the control of outsiders, Zhongshu ordered you to say, but this is the truth?"

"Hmm!" Xun Song was immediately speechless! He secretly wondered why this man was so angry when he spoke with a smile on his face.

But Xi Jian felt as if he had swallowed a fly and felt as if he had swallowed a fly. Yunfeng was right. The Xi family in Gaoping had the dual identity of a high-ranking nobleman and a refugee commander, and his tribe was stationed in Jingkou. Jingkou residents

Most of them were overseas Chinese from You, Ji, Qing, Xu, Bing, and Yanzhou. Xi Jian's other position was the governor of Xuzhou, a powerful court minister. Yunfeng's new fiefdom, Haimen County, belonged to Xuzhou.

Soon, Xi Jian figured out some of Yunfeng's intentions. On the one hand, he would stabilize the price of salt and improve people's livelihood. This man indeed had this intention. The more important thing was probably to resolve the relationship between Yunfeng himself and the Wu gentry.

The conflict was transferred to the gentry with the overseas surname through the salt industry, causing constant disputes in the court. This was clearly a move to divert disaster from the east!

The problem was that if trouble really happened, he still couldn't get out. Xi Jian was able to gain a foothold in Jiankang and Director Wang was indispensable. The two were a close political alliance. As for Wang Dun, Xi Jian separated Director Wang from Wang Dun.

To put it simply, Xi Jian was hostile to Wang Dun, but friendly to Director Wang.

If the situation set by Yunfeng is to be broken, Wang Xizhi must be persuaded to refuse the appointment of Haimen prefect. However, Xi Jian has almost no hope. It is simple. Guan Yunfeng's actions in Beijing are always planned and then followed.

He would never act hastily. Since he dared to recommend Wang Xizhi, he must have thought through Wang Xizhi's temperament and was fully confident.

To sum it up in one sentence, Wang Xizhi was placed at the forefront of the storm, and Wang Xizhi was used to stir up the refugees. The three forces of the Qiao gentry and the Wu family started to argue with each other, while Yunfeng himself was able to leave and calm down the north.

Return to Jiankang at the right time and reap the benefits!

Thinking of this, Xi Jian screamed loudly in his heart. Just when he was secretly shocked, "Hehehehe" burst of hearty laughter sounded out of thin air. Sima Shao praised: "Yunqing has devoted himself to the country and the people. He can be called the country of the country." I am so relieved to be so lonely!" Then his voice changed: "I just want to ask, Yun Qing, are you a loyal minister?" (To be continued...)
