History chat group: I just want to make money

"Cooperate?"

When Qiu Xiuru heard this, her heart suddenly tightened.

Damn it, what's wrong with this little kid?

He secretly said something bad, but he said respectfully: "I don't understand, please speak clearly."

Li Chengjiu touched his chin, "I'll help you with the fine salt problem, how about you help me with the business documents?"

"Get the fine salt? I don't know what the prince wants."

"I know how to refine fine salt, do you believe it?"

"What?!" Qiu Xiuru exclaimed.

Refining fine salt?

What are you talking about?

There are not many people in the Salt Department who know this craft. Even if you dig salt wells for a year, you can't bake much fine salt. You tell me that you can refine it?

Emma, ​​when the Emperor last had you, did he wear his pants inside out?

The old man has a don't fool me, I'm still young expression.

Li Chengjiu rolled his eyes. It seemed that there was no use in talking nonsense. He had to give him something practical.

"You don't believe it, do you? Okay, you find two people for me, and I will show you my skills."

Qiu Xiuru still maintained a skeptical attitude.

But when the prince spoke, he had to cooperate obediently.

Anyway, this kid is ignorant and can't do any tricks. Just let him stumble. I think you still have the nerve to mention it to me about opening a store in the future.

Of course, Li Chengjiu didn't know what this old man was thinking.

First, he ordered someone to go to the house to get the simple distiller he made, and then sent someone to the street to buy some limestone and a few kilograms of coarse salt.

Seeing that everything was ready, he rolled up his sleeves and started refining on the spot in front of Old Man Qiu.

Start by making lime milk, filtering impurities, distilling and drying it in the sun.

This process took more than an hour, and finally crystals slowly formed on the gauze, and nearly three to four taels of fine salt was refined.

Of course, it would be faster if the steps were not very skillful.

Qiu Xiuru didn't take it seriously before.

But the more he looked at it, the tighter his frown became.

Everyone was dumbfounded until the end.

"This...how is this possible?!"

The old man opened his mouth and stared at the bunch of white crystals on the gauze, unable to recover for a long time.

Suspiciously, I picked up a handful and put it on my tongue and tasted it.

It's salty and salty, without any bitterness.

"This is really fine salt!" the old man exclaimed again with eyes wide open.

When Li Chengjiu saw this, he shrugged indifferently: "Hey, my hands are still too raw, maybe I can refine them a little more.

His face was extremely angry.

But Old Man Qiu didn't hear what he said next. He just knelt down again with his trembling legs and plopped down.

"Your Majesty, this is a great cause! A great cause for the ages!"

The old man cried with joy, he knew very well what this refining method meant.

To put it mildly, it can shake up the current regime.

To be serious, that could change the fate of the entire Dayun Dynasty.

Li Chengjiu hurriedly helped him up, "Okay, okay, I can't say more than a few words before I have to kneel down. I'm so exhausted."

Qiu Xiuru wiped her tears excitedly.

Seeing that the doors and windows of the study were still open, I hurriedly ran to close them one by one.

Feeling that it was still not safe, I brought a stool and put it against the door.

Finally, he grabbed the prince's sleeve and opened his mouth, but he was so excited that he couldn't even utter a single word.

Li Chengjiu patted him on the shoulder, "How about it? Do you want to consider my suggestion?"

"No... don't think about it. I will give the prince an ultimatum immediately."

Qiu Xiuru's movements were so neat.

Three times and five times divided by two will complete a business document.

When it was handed over to the prince, there was not even a wrinkle.

Li Chengjiu smiled and then began to discuss with him how to solve the problem of fine salt.

The two discussed it for a while.

Qiu Xiuru was responsible for organizing some people to dig for sea salt in the southern sea, and then used part of the treasury silver to collect part of the coarse salt in the world.

Li Chengjiu is responsible for leading two people to learn and refine.

Then the salt refining method was recorded in a book, and Qiu Xiuru found a way to pass it on to the emperor.

Of course, those who learn to refine must find someone they can trust, at least for now.

For the first time, the two reached an agreement for the same goal.

This actually made Old Man Qiu feel strange.

But just when the two of them were still detailing some minor issues, the officer outside the door came to report that two official officers from Kyoto wanted to visit Mr. Qiu.

In the end, I had no choice but to end the topic first and implement the previous plan.

Looking at the time, it’s time for Lee Seung-kyu to go back.

After packing up all the refining tools and holding the business documents in his hands, he happily followed Qiu Xiuru out of the study.

The two of them came to the lobby together.

I saw two officers in brocade clothes standing in the hall waiting with serious expressions.

When he saw the magistrate coming out, he stepped forward and saluted:

"I'm going to pay my respects to the magistrate."

Qiu Xiuru excused the two of them from the ceremony, and then introduced: "This is His Highness the King of Xinjiang."

Both of them were shocked when they heard this. They quickly turned around and saluted again: "I pay homage to His Highness the King of Jiang."

Li Chengjiu waved his hand indifferently, "While you are chatting, I will withdraw first."

The three of them saluted again, and then the official in Jinyi took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Qiu Xiuru.

"Grand Master's handwriting?" Qiu Xiuru read out.

Although the voice was not loud, Li Chengjiu still heard it.

At this time, he had just stepped out of the government office gate, but his heart skipped a beat when he heard these words.

"Master's handwriting?"

Damn it, you’re not here to find that thing, are you?

He deliberately slowed down his steps, wanting to hear what the people behind him had to say, but they said nothing and were directly let into the inner court by Qiu Xiuru.

Nima.

This old guy is really careful.

It suddenly occurred to me that this boy from the Qin family didn't know how he was doing now. He was probably hungry to death, but it would be difficult to cry to death.

But as I thought about it, I suddenly noticed something.

"That's right! These guys definitely didn't come on foot, so their horses should still be tied up somewhere, right? Why did I ignore this?"

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am too sloppy.

If these two officials really came to see Mr. Qin, they would definitely stay in the city for a while.

As long as they discover the car of this group of people first, wouldn't he reveal his secret?

No, no, we must find their horses first.

Thinking of this, Li Chengjiu had no time to hesitate, so he quickly quickened his pace and headed straight for Nancheng.

And at the same time.

Qin Kun was lying helplessly in the bamboo cage doubting life.

Zhang Ergou is very obedient.

One is not hitting, the other is not scolding.

Good food, drinks and hospitality every day.

As long as Mr. Qin doesn't come out, any request he may make will be fulfilled on the spot.

But Qin Kun never figured out why things developed like this.

Not only was the food hard to eat, he didn't even have a duvet at night, he was covered with a thin sheet, and he was locked in a cage. His life was worse than that of a dog.

"Zheng Xiaoqian! It's all because of this stinky bitch, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation."

The more I think about it, the more I feel aggrieved, and the more I regret it.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have run away, and so did grandpa. Why haven't you come to find me now?

After thinking about it for a long time, I passed all the responsibilities to others.

Until someone flashed into my mind again.

"Damn it, Li Chengjiu! I will definitely let you die a miserable death!"
