Chapter five hundred and sixtieth Zhao's investment

At this time, the head of the Zhao family really wanted to agree to Zhen Yao, but he was afraid that Zhen Yao was just trying to get him to agree, so he said these things to deceive him.

After all, such exquisite table salt only costs a penny or a tael. Who would believe it?

"Brother Zhao, I know you have doubts. What if I use the entire Zhen family as security?"

"If the cost of this salt exceeds one penny, I will compensate the entire Zhen family to you." Zhen Yao said confidently.

Zhen Yao was confident in table salt. After all, Liu Xie had given him the guarantee. The salt only needed to be dried in the sun. It could be said that the cost of a penny was high.

Only when cultivating salt fields, investment is required. In the later stage, only very few manpower is needed to take care of it. In the process of producing salt, no one basically needs to participate.

Therefore, the cost of one penny or one tael is high. The selling price of one penny is about the same.

Zhen Yao now has great trust in Liu Xie, and he feels that Liu Xie has no reason to lie to him.

If you want his family property, just commit treason and you can take it all away.

He knew that what Liu Xie cared about now was the New Deal, and the reform of the salt industry was one of the sharp weapons in Liu Xie's hands. He would not use such a thing to deceive him in Hutu.

Unless Liu Xie wants the New Deal to fail. But does Liu Xie want the New Deal to fail?

Definitely not, so Zhen Yao concluded that the method Liu Xie gave him was absolutely true. He was also willing to use all his wealth to bet on it.

When the head of the Zhao family heard Zhen Yao's words, he immediately stopped hesitating.

"Okay, since Brother Zhen has said so, if Zhao doesn't support His Majesty, he would be very ignorant."

"Brother Zhen, don't worry. We, the Zhao family, fully support the New Deal!" The head of the Zhao family knew very well that Zhen Yao did this just to win him over to support the emperor's New Deal.

Therefore, he did not say any polite words and expressed his support directly. Of course, there is a premise here, that is, the method of making salt given to him by Zhen Yao, or the emperor, is true.

When Zhen Yao heard the Zhao family's words, he nodded, feeling very happy in his heart. After all, he had finally managed to win over the family after wasting so much effort.

So at that moment, he handed the paper with the method of making salt in his hand to the owner of the Zhao family.

The head of the Zhao family was quite impatient. He took the method given to him by Zhen Yao and started checking it on the spot.

The owner of the Zhao family quickly read the production method at a glance. Based on his many years of experience in making salt, although he has not yet had time to verify whether this method is real and effective. But his intuition told him that this method is definitely feasible!

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Mr. Zhao looked at the paper with the method of making salt and laughed loudly.

"Zhao has been dealing with salt for most of his life, but he never expected that there is such a simple and convenient way to make salt! Although Zhao has not yet experimented, I know that this method is definitely feasible!"

The head of the Zhao family sighed, then put down the paper in his hand and looked at Zhen Yao with a meaningful expression.

"No wonder Brother Zhen said that this method cannot be shown to me in advance. I thought it was Brother Zhen who deliberately teased me. Now I see that what Brother Zhen said is true."

"Such methods can be learned by just looking at them, and they cannot be made public to the public."

"However, Brother Zhen, if my guess is correct, the new salt manufacturers His Majesty wants to choose should all be along the coast."

"Yes, His Majesty said that, but currently the only state in His Majesty's hands that is close to the sea is Jizhou. Therefore, Brother Zhao, this is an opportunity to make Brother Zhao a first-class family." Zhen

Yao nodded.

It was impossible for him to say that Liu Xie was also planning to mine well salt in Yizhou. Although he knew that he had a way to reduce the cost of producing well salt, he would not say it foolishly.

Moreover, Yizhou is not in the hands of Liu Xie now. After all, the only place that can produce salt now is Jizhou.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters will be resolved soon.

Brother Zhen’s support will not be forgotten by Your Majesty! So, Brother Zhen, please tell Your Majesty that Zhao is willing to provide 200,000 stones of grain and grass, and another 10,000 stones of refined salt every year. I hope that Your Majesty can wipe out the rebels as soon as possible!" said the head of the Zhao family!

Said very proudly.

He knew that if he could really become one of the new manufacturers, what he had paid today would be just a drop in the bucket.

After all, how many people are there in the world and how much salt do they need every day?

Let's put it this way, as long as a person is inseparable from salt, it is a profitable business.

He will never allow others to take away this spot.

Moreover, Zhen Yao also said that Jizhou is the only place that can produce salt now, and he is the largest salt merchant in Jizhou.

However, with the method provided by Liu Xie, even a person who has never been exposed to salt production before will master this method in a short time.

Therefore, the Zhao family leader could only use some more chips to prevent Liu Xie from giving this method to others.

"Brother Zhao is interested. I will definitely report it to Your Majesty. However, Brother Zhao, if you want His Majesty to entrust this job to you, you must also pay attention to the quality of the salt."

"Hahaha, brother Zhen, don't worry, I won't destroy my own brand. I will personally supervise this new salt field after I return to Bohai County. Your Majesty is welcome to send people to check it at any time."

"If there is any salt that is not enough, please behead someone!"

"Oh, Brother Zhao is serious. Don't worry, Brother Zhao. As long as Brother Zhao does his best for His Majesty, Your Majesty will not treat Brother Zhao badly." Zhen Yao said with a smile, and then looked to the side.

The head of the Yang family.

"Brother Yang, you have a lot of iron ore at home. How many iron tools can you make every year?"

"Suppose Your Majesty can find a way to increase your production of ironware several times, and the iron produced is all fine iron, and at the same time list you as a buyer for the imperial court, and then give you the right to sell it to the government.

Do you know if Brother Yang is willing to serve His Majesty?" Zhen Yao looked at the head of the Yang family and said slowly.

When the head of the Yang family heard Zhen Yao's words, he only hesitated a little and knew that what Zhen Yao said was true.

If he could really achieve this step and allow him to sell the fine iron he produced, it would be worthy of him to seek refuge with the emperor.

Not to mention, the emperor still had a way to improve the quality of ironware.

"If you really go by what Brother Zhen said, then it is not impossible for someone to seek refuge with the emperor."

"Okay, I remember what Brother Yang said. Then take a look at this thing first." After saying that, Zhen Yao took out a new piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the head of the Yang family.

The head of the Yang family just took a look, and his expression was exactly the same as the head of the Zhao family before.

"Is this still possible? I...I really opened my eyes today!"

"Although I, like Brother Zhao, have not had time to experiment, I know that this method is absolutely feasible!"

"This new blast furnace has a sophisticated mechanism that can greatly increase the temperature inside the furnace and add carbon powder. Although I don't know what adding carbon powder means, I feel that the iron produced in such a blast furnace is definitely refined iron!
