The master is right to pickle salted fish!

But……

Cheng Chumo was even more confused.

This guy thought hard for a long time, but finally decided to give up and said directly: "There are shops selling fine salt in Chang'an City. Why do we want to go far to buy a salt mine?"

Li Yun glanced at him, smiled faintly and did not answer.

Cheng Chumo said again: "Master, we can buy salt directly. It is so convenient to buy salt. Pay the money to give it to the goods and use it whenever you catch the fish, pickle it on the spot!"

Li Yun glanced at him again, but still did not give any answer.

Cheng Chumo felt guilty and said with a thorn in his mouth: "I'll make a promise with you, I'll sell salted fish all over Chang'an in just a few days!"

"Yeah?"

Li Yun still glanced at him.

Cheng Chumo was already seen and felt a little scared. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "I will go to those bastards first, let them each buy a cart of fish first, and then go to the Duke's mansions of various countries to pay homage to the elders, and ask them to buy a cart..."

"You are not afraid that the more you sell, the more you lose. How much money will your Duke Lu Mansion spend in it?"

Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment and said in a daze: "Why are there any more money to lose?"

Li Yun slowly stretched out two fingers and explained to him carefully: "Two reasons can lead to losses. Let me ask you a question first. What price should we set for salted fish?"

Cheng Chumo thought about it without thinking, and blurted out: "Hasn't this been agreed long ago? A salted fish costs ten cents."

"Very good, you still remember!" Li Yun nodded, and then asked again: "So how much salt should be consumed to pickle a salted fish."

Cheng Chumo said with a slight pride: "You have told me that you should use half a liang of salt to pickle a salted fish."

"Very good, you remember too!"

Li Yun nodded again, suddenly glared at his eyes and asked angrily: "Then I'll ask you, how much does a pound of fine salt cost?"

ah?

How much does a pound of fine salt cost?

How can I know this?

Cheng Chumo was startled by Li Yun's glare, and then called out: "I have never done anything to buy, how much is the fine salt?"

Li Yun snorted, reached out and waved his hand not far away, and called a teacher from Chengfu and said, "Come and tell your young master how much a pound of fine salt costs."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, and said to Cheng Chumo: "Report to the young master, five hundred pounds of fine salt per pound."

Cheng Chumo was a little stupid.

This guy started to calculate based on his fingers.

One pound is equal to sixteen taels, and one pound of fine salt is five hundred folks.

So how much does one or two of refined salt cost?

At least thirty cents are required.

Where is half a liang of salt?

Fifteen articles!

He was born in the Duke's house, and this simple arithmetic is correct.

It takes half a tael of fine salt to pickle a salted fish, which means that the cost of salt costs fifteen cents. However, only one of their salted fish sells for a long time. The rules have been set for only ten cents.

If you sell a salted fish, you will lose five copper coins.

What about selling a car?

What about ten cars and hundreds of cars?

How much is the loss?

Li Yun spoke quietly and reminded him: "I seem to have taught you that there are several costs of salted fish. In addition to the salt, there are also wages for refugees, the cost of establishing workshops, and the wholesale price for vendors. These are all costs, and they have to be distributed to every salted fish..."

Cheng Chumo shivered.

This guy finally understood, no wonder the master said that Duke Lu's mansion could not afford to lose.

The servant next to him saw his young master being scolded, and couldn't help but speak, "In fact, you can pickle salted fish without fine salt. Let's buy that slightly cheaper green salt."

Li Yun glanced at him and asked with a smile: "How much does a pound of green salt cost?"

The servant thought about it and replied respectfully: "About three hundred people."

"Very good, the cost has been reduced by 200 cents!"

Li Yun nodded, but unfortunately he shook his head again and said, "But he still loses."

The clerk was stunned!

Yes, it's still a loss!

Even if you purchase green salt, you will have to spend 300 cents per pound, 16 taels per pound, and half a liang of green salt costs nine cents.

The servant pondered for a moment and made his last effort and said, "Then go buy coarse salt that has not yet been detoxified. This salt is very cheap. It only costs 150 cents per pound. Most ordinary people who can't afford salt buy it."

Li Yun smiled, still shook his head, and said, "Not to mention that eating too much coarse salt will make people swollen. It's not enough to just count the cost. A pound of coarse salt will cost 7 or 8 cents, and a salted fish will cost 7 or 8 cents. In addition to other expenses, our cost is still more than ten cents."

The Ding bowed helplessly and said in shame: "I heard what you said, the villain has no choice."

Li Yun smiled and signaled that he could go and do other things.

Cheng Chumo listened for a long time and finally understood why Li Yun was angry with him. The little overlord looked a little embarrassed and said with a look of shame: "Master, don't be angry, it's because I'm too careless. I didn't expect that salt is so expensive. I shouldn't buy this thing..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly woke up and stared at Li Yun and said, "Master, you are going to buy a stone salt mine, the purpose is to save costs."

"good!"

Li Yun nodded and smiled, "Let's buy a stone salt mine and call on refugees to mine it yourself. This way, only labor wages are required, and the cost of using salt is naturally greatly reduced."

"But can stone salt be eaten?"

Cheng Chumo hesitated and said hesitantly: "Although I am ignorant, I know that stone salt is poisonous!"

Cheng Chuxue suddenly interrupted and stared at Li Yun and snorted: "A few years ago, there was a joke in Chang'an City. The Wang family in Taiyuan once tried to extract stone salt and secretly mixed it into coarse salt for sale. The coarse salt was originally slightly poisonous, and it would swell after eating it for a long time. After being mixed with stone salt, it became even more scary. Many people almost lost their lives by vomiting and diarrhea. In order to maintain their reputation, Wang family in Taiyuan was determined to admit it, but secretly compensated the people. They lost tens of thousands of yuan..."

When the girl said this, she glared at Li Yun fiercely and said angrily: "You want to use stone salt now. Do you want to defame the reputation of my Cheng family? Although my father has bet with you, he is kind to you. Not only will he buy iron pot ropes for you, but he also reminds me not to beat you up."

Cheng Chumo also said with a sad face: "Yes, Master, you can't touch this thing Shi Yan. The Wang family in Taiyuan lost tens of thousands of yuan. My Cheng family cannot afford to lose this money."

Li Yun sighed lightly and pretended to be disappointed, "I'm really speechless. Why did Duke Lu give birth to you two stupid children? Your father is so smart, and your mother seems to be very smart. Didn't they tell you that Li Yun wants to sell salted fish just for salt? I have the method of making salt in my hands..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately frowned and murmured: "Maybe I was not suggesting clearly enough that Lingzun Lingtang could not guess it. It shouldn't be, they obviously paid!"

After talking to myself, you can hear a needle falling around you.

When I looked up again, I suddenly found that a group of people were shocked.

Cheng Chumo's mouth was wide open.

Cheng Chuxue's face was full of surprise.

Behind the two were a group of ragged refugees, including Cheng Chumo's servants and Cheng Chuxue's healthy women. Everyone stared at Li Yun with the look that seemed to swallow Li Yun in one bite.

Make salt!

He can make salt!
