Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

"Yes, how about selling salt to you?"

As long as there is profit, there is nothing a businessman dares to do. The benefits of salt are known all over the world. Of course Zhen Ping would be moved and said, "How much salt does your lord have?"

"As much as you want."

"If your lord really has so much salt, then it doesn't matter if Mrs. Zhen buys it. I don't know where the salt is?"

"Ninan."

"Rinan County?" Zhen Ping suddenly smiled wryly, if the person in front of him was someone else, Zhen Ping would beat him: "My lord, don't ask the villain to make such a joke."

"I'm not kidding you. You should know that I'm about to move to Rinan County. It's near the sea. You must know the sea salt. Unfortunately, I know how to make the sea salt."

If you want to build Yanlin North in the inland, you can choke, but it's the seaside.Then Lin Bei really knows how to make salt, because there is a very simple way to make salt, and that is the sun-dried salt method.

This sun-dried salt method is very simple. Build a few large salt pans, pour seawater into them, and wait for the wind to blow and the sun to dry up the seawater.Coarse salt can be formed. This kind of salt is very inferior, and it can be eaten if you are not picky about food. If you want to refine salt, you have to soak the coarse salt into brine, then filter it several times, and finally form a better refined salt.

The salt in this era is mostly boiled. This method requires a lot of firewood, so the output is not high, which is one of the reasons why the government will control the salt very tightly.Lin Bei remembered that it was not until around the Ming Dynasty that the method of sun-drying salt spread on a large scale.

"Your Excellency knows how to make salt?" Zhen Ping was extremely surprised. This is a good way to get money. Then he thought that it was Rinan County, and Zhen Ping hesitated: "Of course the villain of Haiyan knows it, but my lord, the Nanyue border is sparsely populated. , and Rinan County is located in the extreme south of the Han Dynasty. To transport salt to the Central Plains, during this time..."

Again.This is ancient times, and there is no asphalt road. If you look at the official road from Xishan Township to Hepu, you can roughly guess the roads in other places. The road in Rinan County will only be worse than this road. The old nose is getting stronger, and Zhen Ping is hesitating whether to do this business.

If you want to do this business.Well, first of all, Zhen Ping has to solve the transportation problem from Rinan County to the Central Plains. This is a rather long journey and requires a huge cost investment. Now it depends on whether Zhen Ping dares to invest this cost.

Why did Lin Bei ask Zhen's for the salt business?It's very simple, Lin Bei thinks that the Zhen family is still a good family.The cooperation several times has been very pleasant. In addition, the Zhen family is rich, not a small amount of money, but a lot of money. How rich is it?The numbers may not be very vivid. Let’s use a metaphor. The Zhen family was the largest grain merchant in the Three Kingdoms period. You can regard the Zhen family as a penguin in the Internet world in later generations. From this, you can imagine how rich the Zhen family is. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as rich and powerful.

It is easy to do things with money, this principle is universal, Rinan County is too far away from the Central Plains, there must be a way to transport the salt out, except for the Zhen family, Lin Bei can't think of any family that can have such a huge amount of money to do it. This long-distance road is comparable to the Silk Road.

If Zhen Shi is willing to invest in this road, it is impossible to rely on it, it must be profitable, so Lin Bei thought of salt, hoping to impress Zhen Shi with this lucrative business, but Lin Bei has no idea, the initial investment is too huge Now, Lin Bei doesn’t know if the Zhen family has such courage and foresight. It may not be profitable to build a road for decades, but in the long run, this road is definitely worth it. It is worth it for the Zhen family. It's worth it for China as a whole, and it's even more worth it for Lin Bei.

Why is the Silk Road so famous?Is it because the Silk Road opened up the passage between the Han Dynasty and Asian and European countries, so that countries can communicate with each other, and what the Han Dynasty did not have can be transported back from other countries, and what other countries did not have can be bought from the Han Dynasty, which is a great deal. It has promoted exchanges, and this influence and sensation have even been praised by later generations. In Chinese culture, the Great Wall symbolizes persistence, while the Silk Road symbolizes pioneering. Both are equally great.

If this road can be built, then although it is not comparable to the Silk Road, it must be a great project. If you use dim sum, you will go from the later generations of Vietnam through the dense forest, through Thailand, Myanmar, to India, Pakistan, etc. land, then it can merge with the Silk Road, and sell exotic products from the seaside and forests to European countries, which may make more money than selling silk.

Not to mention difficulties, of course it is very difficult, but the Silk Road is also difficult, but it can still be developed. The farthest place it reaches is Italy in later generations, so as long as you have the heart, these things are actually not as difficult as imagined.

Now, it depends on Zhen Ping's choice.

Zhen Ping's face was cloudy and uncertain. Zhen Ping is the big shopkeeper of the Zhen family in the South Vietnam border. Zhen Rong told him before coming here that he can be the master of the South Vietnam border. It's beyond the scope of Zhen Ping's decision, but Zhen Rong is far away in the Central Plains, so it's impossible for Zhen Ping to ask, Zhen Ping has to come up with an explanation now.

After a long time, Zhen Ping sighed: "My lord, this villain really has no control over this matter, I must report back to the patriarch to know..."

Lin Bei also sighed in his heart.

"But my lord." Zhen Ping continued: "In my heart, I really want to do this salt business. If not, I will send Zhen Shisan to follow my lord to Rinan County, and wait until my lord makes the salt." , I will send someone to retrieve it, my lord, is this feasible?"

Lin Bei turned from sigh to joy, which showed that Zhen Ping wanted to do this business only because he didn't quite believe that Lin Bei could make salt, or rather that he didn't believe that Lin Bei could make a lot of salt. The round-trip shipping fee is not enough, but as long as Lin Bei produces enough salt to make Zhen Ping and Zhen's think that there is still a lot of money to be made after deducting the shipping fee, then Zhen's will do it.

At this moment, Lin Bei firmly believed in that sentence: businessmen seek profit.

ps: ps: Thank you Wuxing, a book friend, for your generous reward. It turns out that I have rewarded [-] twice. Thank you, thank you very much.

Chapter 164

When Zhen Ping left, both Lin Bei and he were satisfied with the result.

Zhen Ping believes that through this cooperation, even if the Lord Dragon God is far away in Rinan County, he will still have a close relationship with the Zhen family, and the friendship is maintained by the usual contacts. Zhen Ping is confident that the friendship will become more and more in the future the better.

"This Lord Dragon God doesn't seem to be opposed to moving to Rinan County, but he really has a resolute character." Zhen Ping thought.

The South Vietnam border is known as the exile place of the big Han. The environment gets worse the further south you go, and at the same time, it is far away from the political center of the Central Plains. Any ambitious hero who comes to South Vietnam will probably be devastated, but this lord did not. On the contrary, the lucrative industry of salt can be used to attract Zhen's attention. If what this lord said is true, then there will be other things when there is salt. Zhen Ping inexplicably remembered Goujian in history.

"Maybe my lord is also trying his best this time."

Lin Bei was satisfied because he found that the businessman was really cute at this moment. Others looked down on Rinan County, but the businessman didn't care about it, as long as it was profitable. Through Zhenping, Lin Bei began to treat the rest of the big man The merchants also have confidence. It doesn't matter what they are afraid of if they are remote. As long as they hold the salt in their hands, these merchants will come from thousands of miles away. This is very good. This is quite good. Through this cooperation , Lin Bei is much more confident about the prospects of Rinan County.

You must know that the wealth in the sea is inexhaustible. Even after modern times, there are still many deep sea areas that humans cannot set foot in. Countless countries in the world are coveting the wealth of the deep sea, not to mention the deep sea. The abundance of fish and various minerals are n times more than those on land. Of course, the difficulty of mining these minerals is not something that can be handled in this era.However, there is a mineral that Lin Bei just knows, and this mineral should still exist in this era, it is called combustible ice.

The first time Lin Bei heard the term combustible ice was from a colleague who had participated in a seven-day trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. When he came back, he told the Bureau what had happened, and combustible ice was mentioned among them.It is said that many people in Thailand are using combustible ice, and I am very envious of saying that life in Thailand is so good. A combustible ice belt was discovered on the edge of the Myanmar Sea and the Bengal Sea, and a large oil field was also discovered.

Because Lin Bei had never heard of this kind of thing before, so he paid attention to it and checked some information, only to realize that combustible ice is a new energy source that all countries in the world desire. The main components of combustible ice are natural gas and water. And it is compressed by the kinetic energy of the seabed.Formed a solid shape, it generally only exists in the deep sea or the polar regions of the earth, and it is rare in shallow seas.

This kind of combustible ice is composed of natural gas and water, of which natural gas accounts for the majority, so it can be burned, and its burning ability is very strong, it can be ignited when it is ignited, and there is almost no residue after burning.It can be called the king of environmental protection, so Lin Bei is the same as that colleague.I am envious of Thailand. Those guys are so lucky. Huaxia has not found much combustible ice in so many oil fields. They have it in any oil field. It is so annoying.

The combustible ice in the Bangladesh Sea is not yet in the rocky layer of the seabed, but on the bare/exposed ground of the seabed.There are not a lot of them. With the ability at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, shipbuilding is definitely possible. The difficulty is how to go down to the sea to pick up the combustible ice.But Lin Bei is sure it can, so Lin Bei is going to take the ready-made combustible ice and use it. This thing is more cost-effective than methane gas. Since it has already formed a solid, it can be easily transported out. You can bring one or two pieces with you. Combustible ice, you don't have to worry about running out of hot water to cook meals when you are on the road.

There is too much wealth in the sea, Lin Bei only plans to do these two things for the time being, one is salt and the other is combustible ice. After Mrs. Zhen transports the salt away, Lin Bei will probably be able to get sea fish. Once there is salt, sea fish can be kept by nitrating. It's not bad for a long time, and if it is transported to the Central Plains through the Zhen family, wouldn't the wealth be endless?

"Perhaps for me, arriving in Rinan County is really like entering the sea." Lin Bei thought to himself.

Lin Bei's current body is too large. Although there is no problem on land, it is obvious that the sea is wider and his actions are bigger. If Lin Bei has the heart, he can still cross the sea to reach various countries in the world at this time. If it is inland, Lin Bei will never have this opportunity.

.....

This night, the people of Xishan Township once again held a grand bonfire party. This was a carnival before leaving. They slaughtered cattle and sheep, and had a good meal to gather strength for tomorrow's departure.

On the second day, people in Xishan village got up early, and Lin Bei also got up early.

First fed the little green snake, and then pulled the red dragonfly out of the taro field. The red dragonfly did not grow in size after hibernation, and it remained the same. After all, even evolution would take a long time, and this time may take several It has been calculated for a hundred years, so it is quite normal that the appearance has not changed in one winter.

Moreover, Lin Bei also prepared a large water bag for the red jiao. When traveling, the red jiao will be packed in the water bag. With Lin Bei suppressing it, the red jiao will not run out and cause trouble.

"My lord, you can start your journey." Bian Ji came out of the house, and said with some reluctance.

Lin Bei nodded, his eyes swept across the Longtan, remembering every plant and tree in his heart. Finally, Lin Bei's eyes fell on the banyan tree above the Longtan, because the bird's nest was originally on the vine, but the grapevine Lin Bei To get rid of it, the bird's nest was placed on the tree again. Lin Bei asked the carpenter to make a small house and put it on the bird's nest. Even if it rains in the future, it will not be able to drench the nest below. Lin Bei hopes that they will come back in the future. If Lin Bei has any regrets, it must be Diudiu and Qiqi. These two little guys are like children who run away from home. Never see them again.

"Let's go." A little sad, Lin Bei put the little green snake on his head, let Chi Jiao follow behind, and said to Bian Ji.

Arriving at the Xishan village, the villagers have already set off, and more than a hundred rangers have already set off. They will be distributed on the passing roads to check for bandits or official troops, and Cui Lan led the township regiment of two thousand The sergeants walked at the forefront, escorting the common people in the village, and other sergeants accompanied them.

Livestock neighing, people shouting, the team was quite long, strong men walking, almost all the old and the weak rode in the car, although the villagers were slightly worried about the future.But the face is more happy.

"My lord, my lord is here too." The appearance of Lin Bei caused many villagers to shout, and after that, their faces settled down, and they were no longer worried.My lord is a dragon god, why worry about following your lord?

Bian Ji, An Zhongzhi, Cui Lan and others had already designed the itinerary of the road, and he had already figured out how to get there. Jiaozhi is located in the north of Hepu County. Big, if you walk in the wilderness before, you may be most afraid of snakes and insects.But now that Lin Bei is here, his breath has already driven away the snakes and insects, so there is no problem in this regard.

The common people moved very slowly. They only drove more than ten miles in one morning. Except for one person who was walking and turned his toe, the rest of the people were fine. This is a good start.

Eat, rest.Then on the road again, An Zhongzhi asked the sergeants to adjust their speed.You have to travel at least forty miles a day. This speed is quite suitable, and there are no arrogant people in Xishan Village.

When resting and camping at night, An Zhong came straight to report that two people were sick, but it was not a serious illness.These two people are not young, usually nothing, but after rushing, they have enough.

"Let everyone drink hot water, boil the water, and soak their feet in warm water before going to bed. In addition, let the sergeants work harder and take turns to be on duty at night, so that the common people can sleep with a sense of security." Lin Bei instructed. .

An Zhong nodded and went out, Lin Bei said to Bian Ji: "Master, how do you feel? Can you still hold on?"

Bian Ji took a bullock cart along the way, there must be some bumps, but he wasn't too tired.
