In the fourth year of Hongwu, the Ming court formulated the Chinese salt law, also known as Kaising China and France.

Depending on the distance, one to five stones of grain can be exchanged for a small amount of salt turbulence from the court.

This ratio changes with the situation and the price of rice.

The Dharma of Opening the Middle and the Law is roughly divided into three steps: Revenge, guarding the branch, and market change.

The report said that the salt merchants transported the grain to the designated frontier according to the requirements of the Ming court, and then exchanged the local garrison for salt gulf;

The guard branch is when the salt merchant exchanges the salt to the designated salt field to transfer salt to the salt;

Shiyi is a salt merchant who ships the obtained salt to a designated area for sale.

Because salt merchants consume a huge amount of food transportation from long distances, they often hire laborers to open up wastelands and grow grain in various areas, and enter warehouses on site to exchange for salt intake, so as to make more profits.

As a result, a new settlement was formed in the border areas and became a de facto military farming. Because this form of military farming was run by merchants, it was called Shangtun.

The southern foot of Guanxi has Qinghai Lake, which can dry salt by yourself. If you can not only distribute salt tracts, but also the salt farm designated by the imperial court, the salt merchants can exchange salt tracts on the spot for green salt, which is much more convenient than if they travel thousands of miles to other salt farms. Guanxi will definitely become a hot commodity in the eyes of salt merchants.

If this matter is done, the Guanxi guards can benefit from it, and there will be no problem in making concessions in the taxation. As for the countries in the Western Regions, if they give them some sweetness, they will most likely agree.

In this way, tax customs will be accomplished.

"Qingyan is actually just one of them. Once the Shazhou vertebrae field is opened, the elite iron and war horses from the Western Regions will flow into the Central Plains continuously. If Shengming Trading Company has the strength to take over all, it will be huge profits when it is replaced. The iron and horses in it are still big buyers, so why bother fighting with them on taxes?"

Zhu Youjun made another amazing statement.

However, Zhou Qinchuan became more and more pleasing to his liking. This kid had information. After this operation, the salt, iron and war horses of the Western Regions were monopolized by the Guanxi guards headed by the Ola Wei.

Of course, this is what later generations say, and it is called a monopoly at this time.

Su Yourong looked Zhu Youzhen up and down in surprise, "Okay, little prince, I can't think of you..."

"I didn't expect that I was not a buyer, nor was it, haha..."

Zhu Youren smiled self-deprecatingly, "We are all in vain, and I don't want to eat, drink and have fun like my brothers. Therefore, reading and reading all kinds of miscellaneous books are almost my only entertainment. Also, talking to my father can be considered a matter of talking about everything. As long as you think this idea is useful, it is not just a piece of paper, I will be very honored."

"Where is it, the little prince is too humble. You have helped our Guanxi guards and the court, and Shengming Trading Company must also accept your love."

Seeing that Zhu Youkou felt a little self-pitying, Zhou Qinchuan quickly interrupted and smiled and praised.

"By the way, little prince, since you are so wise, you might as well give advice to the trading company. Now that I can't escape from the capital for a while, it's a pity that tens of thousands of taels of silver are left like this. Is there any way to make money on the spot? I just discussed it with Brother Qin Chuan."

Seeing that Zhu Youjun is indeed capable, Su Yourong is asking for advice sincerely this time.

"Make money on the spot?" Zhu Youzhen lowered his head and pondered.

As a time traveler, Zhou Qinchuan had some small ideas, but he deliberately tried to get things done, so he didn't vent his anger.

At this time, half a year has passed since they entered the pass. From early spring to early autumn, the autumn wind swept over, and a half-yellow leaf fell on Zhu Yougong's shoulders.

Zhu Youqian picked up the leaves and was about to abandon them before he was abandoned. His eyes lit up, "Well, everyone, winter is coming, I see that firewood is used to burn fire in the capital to keep warm. This is the first transaction, so it is better to just..."

"Sell coal balls!"

Everyone present actually spoke in unison.

"Hey! Do you know coal balls too?" Zhu Youren was a little surprised at first, and then slapped his head and realized, "By the way, when the Olawei was in the north of the border, he absorbed a large number of Han people and built a large-scale Banshengcheng. It is not uncommon to use coal balls."

Then he smiled proudly, "How about it, my idea is not bad, right?"

"It's really not bad." Su Yourong murmured to herself, "You said that when I was in Banshengcheng, I had burned coal balls for half a year, why didn't you expect it?"

Zhou Qinchuan kept looking at Zhu Youjin. He wanted to propose the coal ball business, which was a time traveler, and he had used coal balls. If he couldn't even think of this, it would be too embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, the native person Zhu Youzhen could also think of this. It was indeed not simple.

"Little Prince, you are also coal balls used to burn fire and keep warm in the palace?" Qin Qi, who had never spoken, spoke.

"The firewood, chestnut charcoal is still used in the palace, but I occasionally sneak out to stroll around. I have seen this thing in the homes of the people. In addition to the poor appearance, the price is cheap and the firepower is strong, which is much more cost-effective than charcoal."

Qin Qi nodded after hearing this, "The little prince can understand the small things and learn from them. He is indeed capable. Do he have any interest in showing his ambitions? He will not waste what he has learned in his heart."

Zhou Qinchuan looked at him when he heard this. Qin Qi was not simple, but he actually had the idea of ​​a prince.

"That's good." Zhu Youjian jumped up excitedly, "To be honest, I've wanted to find something to do..."

At this point, he shook his head dejectedly, "No, it's useless, my identity... Although I am now staying in the capital with a sloppy face, it won't take long for my father, who is afraid that the news will lead to a huge disaster, will definitely send a confidant to take me back to the western part of Jin. With this free time, I'll just make a good move in the capital."

"If you can hide the truth and stop being the little prince, I wonder if you are willing?"

Zhou Qinchuan interrupted in time and raised his eyebrows proudly at Qin Qi. He finally had the opportunity to pretend, so let me show this popularity.

"Don't be the prince?" Zhu Youjian looked at Zhou Qinchuan in confusion, and then his eyes lit up, "Yes, why didn't I expect that there are many people in the Olawei who come to Beijing to pay tribute. I just want to replace one of them. Brother Zhou, I'll trouble you like this."

Zhou Qinchuan's face froze. He really didn't expect this method. That would not be possible. If it was so simple, wouldn't it be impossible to reflect his abilities and connections?

"Little Prince, your idea may not work. The dignified King Yongnian has become a follower of a foreign country. If you want, Prince Chen will not be able to pass the pass." Zhou Qinchuan said seriously, "And your thin skin and tender flesh don't look like someone who has been outside the pass."

"What you said is reasonable. If you want to stay with you upright, you must agree to your father. The father is best at face value. You must know that I pretend to be a follower of the Olawei, most of them will not agree."

"Also, after the Ola Wei tribute is over, I will return to Guanxi. Even if someone stays, there will be no more than one ten. At that time, this little man may be able to check it out. The little prince is a capable person. Isn't it a pity to follow us to a remote place like Guanxi?"

Qin Qi cooperated tacitly and made up for another timely blow.
