The Shipbuilding Department is the most profitable department in the entire Bohai Bay.

The balance in September exceeded 80,000 taels of silver, and in October it will definitely exceed 200,000 taels. His expectations for the Bohai Bay are as low as 3 million in a year.

In addition, next to the Shipbuilding Department is the Salt Administration Department, which is the second profitable department in the Bohai Bay.

In more than three months, Qin Mo exposed 2,400 stones of sea salt. What does this mean?

Last year, the whole of Dakan produced 14,000 stones of salt, while Qin Mo continued to expand the salt drying site, 2,400 stones a year would not be a problem.

In this way, the salt price can be reduced, and the extra salt can be exported to increase revenue.

Like Nanfan, Shidan, Jilin, and even the Wadao Kingdom (although it is surrounded by the sea, it is not suitable for salt drying, not to mention in ancient times) they are all salt-deficient. The excess can be exported in large quantities, earning silver or replacing grain.

Of course, when it comes to big work, salt and iron are all specialized in it. Smuggling salt is illegal!

After Qin Mo settled the accounts from the Shipbuilding Department, he came to the salt drying factory.

"Master General!" Sibao hurriedly came up.

“Are you still adapting here?”

"It's okay, just patrol every day to prevent them from taking sea salt away." Sibao smiled silly.

Qin Mo patted his shoulder and entered the salt drying factory. It has to be said that the occurrence of salt drying solves the problem of salt deficiency. Even if the number of people who work hard in the future will be ten times more than they can be carried by the Bohai Bay.

Qin Mo looked at it for a while and was still developing a new salt drying plant there.

At this moment, the captain guarding the salt factory ran over quickly, "I have met the chief supervisor."

The captain was named Chen Qiniu, an old man from Thunder Army, and was promoted by Qin Mo.

"What's wrong?"

"I have important things to report to you!"

"explain!"

"Recently, many people have spyed on the salt drying ground. Last night, a group of villagers came together. If we hadn't been alert, they would have rushed in." Chen Qiniu said: "I beg for more people to send!"

"What kind of villagers are all dogs from aristocratic families!" Qin Mo said coldly.

What kind of villagers are so brave that they dare to get close to this area, let alone come together in groups.

"Build a wall five hundred meters away from the salt drying plant. Those who approached without authorization were warned, three warnings, and kill them on the spot!"

"Yes, the chief executive!" Chen Qiniu said: "And there is another thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"

"explain!"

Chen Qiniu said: "Three days ago, General Zhang came here in person and took away a batch of sea salt, which was enough for 150 stones!"

Qin Mo's face changed and he said in a voice: "Then why are you talking now!"

Chen Qiniu said: "At first, he said he was sent to the dock, but our people followed him and did get on the dock and board the boat, but he got on the shore again at fifty miles from the dock!"

“The evidence is conclusive?”

Qin Mo said: "Doesn't each batch of salt be registered and then sent to the warehouse?"

"There is no evidence, but it is indeed what our people have seen with their own eyes. Bei Zhi dares not say anything, and he is afraid that he will guess wrong!"

Chen Qiniu said with a bitter face: "I don't know either. After checking the accounts, there are indeed many!"

Qin Mo narrowed his eyes and immediately understood. It seemed that there was an insider in the salt factory!

"Then why did you say it again now?"

"General Zhang sent someone over in the morning and said he would send someone over to deliver salt in the afternoon!" Chen Qiniu said.

"Okay, I understand!" Qin Mo nodded, "In the future, except for the people working in the salt factory, and I, the rest of them are not allowed to enter. Those who do not listen to advice will shoot and kill them directly. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!" Chen Qiniu knew that if he didn't say it, Qin Mo would find out one day, and he would be finished by then.

Qin Mo did not leave the salt drying factory either, and explained to Chen Qiniu that he should not stop those people from coming in to deliver salt.

After the explanation, I drank tea in the newly built bungalow next to me.

Fang Yu frowned, "He first walked on the water and then went ashore. Wouldn't that be enough for his personal pocket?"

"yes!"

Qin Mo nodded, "It seems that I underestimate Lao Zhang and the people behind him!"

Think about it, more than 2,000 stone fine sea salt in three months is much better than the coarse salt produced in the salt well.

The coarse salt eaten by ordinary people tastes bitter and has many impurities.

Salt is not cheap either. People in poor areas can only use vinegar cloth. In addition to the small salt output, it is also related to the high salt.

A dou of salt from a big kan is a hundred big kan Tongbao, ten dou is a stone, and a stone of salt is about one tael of silver.

More than one hundred stone salt does not seem to be much, but the price of this high-quality fine salt is at least three to five times that of coarse salt. If you go abroad through smuggling, it is not a problem to increase it by twenty times, or even higher.

"These people are insatiable!" Fang Yu held the hilt of the sword in his hand. "It is because of these corrupt officials that the people will be in trouble."

"That's not to mention that private salt is not only more expensive than official salt, but also has higher quality. Eating more salt with more impurities will make you sick." Qin Mo said: "That's why I opened a salt factory here, just to make all the people eat low-priced and high-quality sea salt!

If the price of official salt is lower than that of private salt and the quality is better, do you think there will be a market for private salt?”

Fang Yu said: "The people are not stupid!"

Qin Mo smiled and looked outside, "Here you come!"

Fang Yu turned around and looked, a group of people came from outside, and even the escort truck was ready.

The two watched them take the salt away.

Qin Mo said to Chen Qiniu without saying nonsense, "Closing the salt drying factory, no one who comes in today is allowed to leave. He takes the roster and calls me. I'll ask you if you don't have one!"

"Yes, the chief executive!"

Qin Mo left with a cold face, and then asked the people from the Six Gate to follow the group of people, then transferred 300 people from the Thunder Army and left in the name of training.

These people were also quite smart. They got on the official ship and were not sent away immediately.

I waited until it was almost dark before leaving.

In the second half of the night, the ship stopped forty miles from the seaport pier.

There is no pier there, and there are not even roads. There are still many people on the shore, and they are nimble on a small boat to pick up goods.

Hundred stones of sea salt are only two or three trips.

"There are 120 stones of salt here. Let me tell him, I have taken too much these days. If something happens, I will wait for a while before I talk about it!" said the man who was leading the boat.

"No, I want more than that. I must collect a thousand stones of salt this month!" The man on the boat said helplessly: "I understand, I am also ordered to tell me!"

The man cursed angrily: "Do you know how much is Yi Qianshi? If this continues, you will be killed sooner or later. If it is exposed, we will all die!"

The man on the boat said, "Hey, I'll bring you the words, let's go back first, be careful!"
