Chapter 52 Make Money
Chapter 52 Make Money
"Xiao He, how much money is left in my account?"
In the evening, Ying Changsheng was in the palace and asked Xiao He who had returned from outside the city.
Xiao He's ability in coordinating finances was considerable, so after Ying Changsheng took him under his wing, he handed over all the family's finances to Xiao He.
"Reporting to the nineteenth son, there are more than 3000 yuan in the book now!"
"More than 3000 yuan is not too much!"
Ying Changsheng sighed with emotion and murmured again.
"That's right, Mr. Nineteen, more than 3000 yuan, is not a small amount of income for ordinary people, but for you, Mr. Nineteen, this amount of money is really not that much!"
Xiao He nodded and said, Ying Changsheng nodded, and then asked.
"Xiao He, I am planning to get some money to spend. What do you think?"
"What does the nineteenth son mean?"
Xiao He frowned, and asked Ying Changsheng.
"I want to make some money, and let me ask you, what is the price of salt in Daqin now?"
"The price of salt is generally stable, not expensive..."
After thinking for a while, Xiao He explained.
"However, cheap is cheap, but this kind of crude salt tastes bitter and bitter, and there are a lot of impurities in it."
"Probably, it costs ten and a half taels per catty!"
"Where do these salts come from?"
Ying Changsheng asked Xiao He, and the latter said after thinking about it.
"Most of the salt in Kanto is produced in Duoqi, while the salt in Guanzhong is mostly produced in the salt fields in the north..."
"Salt made in Qi?"
Ying Changsheng was a little surprised, and Xiao He also explained to him.
"Young Master Nineteen doesn't know that Qi State, among the six countries, was the richest man, purely because, at the beginning of Qi State's establishment, Guan Zhong made a rule of boiling sea for salt, and selling salt, which made Qi State The whole country is extremely rich..."
"Nowadays, even though I, Great Qin, rule the world, the local people are still at the seaside, cooking the sea for salt, and selling the salt to other places. When I was in Pei County, all the salt I ate at home was bought from there. of……"
"I see!"
Ying Changsheng suddenly understood, he said immediately.
"My son is also planning to sell salt now!"
"When the nineteenth son sells salt, where does he plan to buy the salt and where to sell it?"
Xiao He asked.
He also thought that Ying Changsheng planned to buy salt from the coast or near the salt fields like ordinary merchants, and then transport it to Guanzhong with a caravan for sale.
I saw that Ying Changsheng shook his head and explained to him again and again.
"I don't plan to buy salt to sell, I plan to produce salt to sell!"
Ying Changsheng explained.
Salt is a big profit.
Because, unlike other commodities, salt is a necessity of life.
If a person does not eat salt for a long time, it will lead to extreme weakness of the body, and it is easy to get sick.
A person eats at least seven or eight catties of salt every year.
And here, there are amazing profits.
After all, in the Great Qin Dynasty, with a population of more than 2000 million, everyone needs to eat salt.
Calculated in this way, the profit can be imagined.
It's no wonder that Qi State before the unification of the world would be so prosperous.
After all, selling salt can make huge profits. In China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, salt merchants were the richest merchants in the world!
At this moment, although Ying Changsheng intends to return the salt and iron to the government, so as to enrich the treasury of Daqin.
However, he also wanted to earn something for himself.
After all, if the Great Qin court nationalized salt and iron in the future, it would be impossible for them to make their own salt.
The imperial court is nothing more than selling and purchasing common salt from the people.
Immediately, Ying Changsheng planned to use the refined salt extraction technique he had obtained to extract more high-quality refined salt, and then sell it to make some money.
He is still quite short of money now.
Before, Ying Changsheng didn't think he was short of money, but now, as more and more people were recruited around him, it took a lot of financial resources to feed these people.
Under such circumstances, if he didn't have money, how could he be an ass?
Hearing Ying Changsheng said that he wanted to make his own salt and sell it, Xiao He couldn't help frowning, and he persuaded him.
"Young Master Nineteen, making salt is not an easy task. Not only technology is needed, but also salt mines are needed. A large amount of manpower is needed to successfully produce salt. Private salt mines have been in operation for many years. These things have long existed , we don't have these manpower skills..."
"If you make salt rashly, you will probably waste a lot of money..."
"Don't worry, my lord has already prepared. Now I order you to inquire in Xianyang City, collect information, see where there is a salt mine for sale, and then ask the price. My lord will buy it!"
"As for making salt?"
"This is not a difficult task. Besides, the salt I make is definitely much stronger than the salt sold in the market!"
"Then Xiao He obeyed!"
Xiao He cupped his hands and took the order.
At this time, Ying Changsheng said to Chen Ping who was on the side.
"Chen Ping, you don't have to be idle anymore. My son entrusted you with a task. In Xianyang City, set up a few restaurants. We want the restaurant business!"
"Young Master Nineteen, my Daqin prohibits alcohol..."
The face on the side showed embarrassment, and said to Ying Changsheng.
Da Qin supervises the country, the son of Da Qin broke the ban and went to sell wine. This is a matter of taking the lead in violating the laws of Da Qin.
"My Daqin is forbidden to drink alcohol?"
Ying Changsheng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Alcohol is indeed prohibited!"
Xiao He agreed.
"Of course, not all of them are forbidden!"
"It's just that the common people are prohibited from drinking. They are only allowed to drink during festivals every year. This is normal. Making wine requires a lot of waste of grain. Our Daqin advocates frugality, so how can we allow the common people to use grain to make wine? drink?"
"Of course, although the imperial court has a ban, for a person with a title, as long as he has money, he can buy wine to drink at any time. However, the price of wine is expensive, so very few people drink..."
"That's what happened!"
Ying Changsheng suddenly understood.
After thinking about it, this is indeed very reasonable.
Because in ancient times, productivity was backward and people didn't have enough to eat. Why would they use precious grains to make wine?
Isn't that nonsense!
As for allowing nobles to drink?
This is also easy to understand.
How many people with high ranks in Daqin are there in total?
How much alcohol can these people drink?
"In my opinion, it's time to let go of this ban!"
Ying Changsheng smiled at everyone.
"This, this is inappropriate, this is the national policy formulated by our ancestors in the Qin Dynasty!"
Chen Ping frowned and said.
"What's more, if the ban is lifted, the common people will drink more, and the food will not be enough..."
"I don't need food to make wine!"
Ying Changsheng smiled at Chen Ping, Xiao He and the others.
