I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

No matter how the two of them calculated, the money they could earn from the salt would be an astronomical figure.

And this also depends on what Lin Fan plans to do. If Lin Fan wants to make money from rich families, then relying on this salt will be enough to make a fortune every day.

If you want to sell this salt all over the world, you can't just make a fortune every day. By then, you can really become rich enough to rival a country.

Especially now, commercial taxes in all countries in the world are generally not high. If we really sell it, the profits will be unimaginable.

"My lord, this... this salt-making method, do we really have to hand it over to the Shen family?" Chun Fang asked doubtfully, already somewhat reluctant to hand over this salt-making method.

When Chu Hu heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and quickly advised:

"Ah? Lord, you are really going to give this excellent salt-making method to the Shen family? Wouldn't that make all the money for the Shen family?"

Although Qin Shian didn't understand the details, he knew from what the two of them said that this salt-making method was probably a very important thing. He held Lin Fan's arm with one hand and said, "Brother, why don't we give this salt-making method to that damn Shen family? If they dare to snatch it, I will twist their heads off!"

At this moment, someone outside yawned and said, "What are you guys arguing about, in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Guangzhi walked in dozing off, his eyes still full of sleepiness, and it seemed that he had just been woken up from his sleep.

Seeing Zhang Guangzhi walk in, Chu Hu hurried to Zhang Guangzhi's side. Not sure if he wanted to wake Zhang Guangzhi up as soon as possible, but he put his two big hands on Zhang Guangzhi's shoulders like iron clamps and began to shake Zhang Guangzhi.

"Master Zhang, please come and persuade them. The Marquis wants to hand over the salt-making method to the Shen family. We can't persuade him!"

Zhang Guangzhi seemed a little confused. He stared at Chu Hu for a long time before asking a question that confused Chu Hu: "Didn't you say that the lord would treat you to hot pot? I came here on purpose."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Guangzhi seemed to feel that he had said something wrong. He stole a glance at Lin Fan and found that Lin Fan's face was a little dark. He felt that something was wrong. How could he have said this in his sleep? He quickly explained to Lin Fan:

"My Lord, I don't think so. I'm old. Ahem, my Lord, do you understand?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes. No wonder Zhang Guangzhi didn't come over immediately. Lin Fan was still a little puzzled, but because there were enough people, he didn't consider calling Zhang Guangzhi anymore.

"Okay, you two are really a pair of funny people." Lin Fan said, rubbing his eyebrows.

"okay."

Zhang Guangzhi and Chu Hu looked at each other and stopped talking at the same time, as if they had discussed it in advance.

Lin Fan was speechless after seeing this. What kind of people are his subordinates? Why are they all foodies?

However, Lin Fan also knew that Chun Fang could not have failed to tell Zhang Guangzhi what he was going to do, so Zhang Guangzhi did not explain why, essentially to avoid suspicion.

Zhang Guangzhi's expression became more serious, as if nothing had happened just now. He looked at Lin Fan with doubtful eyes and asked, "My Lord, Chu Hu said that you are going to hand over the salt-making method to the Shen family. Did you invent a new method of making salt?"

Zhang Guangzhi was very smart. Just from a few words, he could guess that Lin Fan had developed a new method of making salt. Moreover, Zhang Guangzhi had already thought that the salt-making method developed by Lin Fan had extremely low cost, so he used it as a bargaining chip to recruit the Shen family.

However, handing over the salt-making method to the Shen family cannot completely tie the Shen family and Lin Fan together, and it is even possible that the Shen family will run away with the salt-making method and completely trick Lin Fan.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guangzhi stroked his goatee and said to Lin Fan, "My Lord, this is not an option. No matter what, this technique must be mastered by me."

Zhang Guangzhi walked forward a few steps, saw the salt in the pot, dipped a little, tasted it and asked, "Could this be the salt made by the lord?"

Lin Fan looked at Zhang Guangzhi and asked with a smile, "How is it? Is it pleasing to your eyes?"

Zhang Guangzhi did not speak, but picked up a handful of salt and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Guangzhi asked: "My lord, is this really the salt you made yourself?"

Chu Hu said quickly: "Hey, Taoist Zhang, is this true? I have been helping you all the time, how could I not know? Please try to persuade them, this good idea cannot be given to the Shen family."

Zhang Guangzhi looked at Lin Fan and found that Lin Fan had a smiling face. He knew that Lin Fan did not want to sell this new salt-making method to the Shen family as Chu Hu said, but had his own plans, so he asked:

"My Lord, do you have any plans of your own?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Why don't you guess again?"

Zhang Guangzhi thought about it and immediately understood Lin Fan's idea. He said, "My Lord, do you want us to make salt, then give it to the Shen family to sell, and then share the profits?"

Lin Fan clapped his hands to show his recognition of Zhang Guangzhi's intelligence, and said, "It's just Guangzhi, he is really resourceful. You thought of it before I even said anything. Yes, I plan to build a factory by ourselves, make the salt, and then let the Shen family sell it. In this way, they will naturally not be able to escape."

"In that case, my lord, do you plan to promote it nationwide, or just sell it to the government?" Zhang Guangzhi asked again.

"Alas, I wish I had thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor people in the world. I cannot do that for the moment, but I can still benefit the people." Lin Fan sighed and said.

Zhang Guangzhi was stunned, bowed deeply to Lin Fan, and said: "My lord, your heart is concerned about the world. Guangzhi admires you and is willing to follow you to achieve great things."

Lin Fan laughed, helped Zhang Guangzhi up, and said, "It's like having Guangzhi in my life. In this case, how about having Mr. Guangzhi come forward to talk to the Shen family tomorrow?"

Zhang Guangzhi nodded and had no objection.

Zhang Guangzhi completely returned to his original intention. He started out working for Lin Fan, and then changed to helping Lin Fan realize his revenge. It seemed exactly the same, but there was a big difference in it.

In the former case, Zhang Guangzhi can work without putting in any effort, just like he did just now, deliberately creating a certain distance, while in the latter case, he regards himself as Lin Fan's confidant, so he will naturally work harder.

"I've been listening for a long time, but why am I still confused?" Chu Hu scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look.

Lin Fan happily patted Chu Hu's shoulder and said, "Fatty, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Tomorrow you will follow Mr. Guangzhi and make sure to ensure Mr. Guangzhi's safety. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will never leave."

Chu Hu patted his chest and assured him, then he walked behind Zhang Guangzhi and followed him closely like a shadow.
