Chapter 798
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Have you never paid attention to what the full name of the Marquis' navy is? It's the 'Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty'! The Marquis' navy is under the double supervision of His Majesty and the Ministry of War, but strictly speaking, it is only supervised by the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is entrusted, and the real right of ownership is His Majesty! No matter how powerful the political affairs hall is, can it still manage His Majesty's private army?"
No wonder Xiao Ban, Xiao Ming and others were puzzled. Strictly speaking, there has never been an army in the true sense that was completely controlled by the emperor and had nothing to do with the Ministry of War and other departments in the true sense. The Yuan Cong Imperial Army, and even His Majesty Li Er's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, are not the real royal army.
Xiao Ming's eyes suddenly lit up!
If the Royal Navy is really not under the control of the Ministry of War, the Zhengshitang will naturally have no jurisdiction, which is completely outside their scope of authority!
A long history of the Royal Navy...
Even if he is not the number two figure in the navy, at least he has great power in his hands, and he can fully satisfy his political desire!What's more, this is the emperor's private army. Now it is controlled by a powerful person like Fang Jun, and it will be the main force of the Eastern Expedition in the future. The development prospects are bound to be broad!
Instead of staying at home to be moldy and have nothing to love about life, why not go to the Navy for a break, maybe in the eyes of His Majesty, you can make some achievements?
Xiao Ming's heart beat suddenly, as if there was a kind of joy and longing for rebirth, he turned to look at Xiao Ban.He naturally knew that if he joined the navy, it would mean that the Xiao family would unreservedly stand by Fang Jun's side, at least the outside world would think so...
That is to stand on the opposite side with the entire Jiangnan gentry!
Such a move will definitely cause an uproar in the south of the Yangtze River, and the consequences will be unpredictable.And Fang Jun's real intention of this move is not difficult to guess, which is to divide and disintegrate the alliance between the Xiao family and the Jiangnan gentry!
But Xiao Ming really didn't want to spend his whole life regretting that he had nothing to pursue and nothing to love...
Xiao Ban frowned tightly.
Fang Jun's move, no matter whether it was planned for a long time or on a temporary basis, it can be regarded as a huge problem for the Xiao family!From the standpoint of the family, it should be rejected, but from an emotional point of view, Xiao Ban couldn't say no to it.
The eyes Xiao Ming looked at him were full of longing and pleading, it was a kind of desire to be brought back to life after dying...
Xiao Ban shook his head and smiled wryly, looked at Fang Jun and said, "Chief Manager, you are making this old man difficult..."
Fang Jun said calmly: "It is difficult to have both things in the world, you can't have both fish and bear's paws."
After all, he gave Xiao Ban enough time to consider the trade-offs, turned his attention to the Zhu brothers, and said straight to the point: "This Marquis intends to build several salt farms in Huating Town, but he has neither manpower nor energy. Interested in participating?"
Zhu Jian was stunned and said, "What is a salt field?"
"Guanzi" contains: "At the beginning of late spring, the people of Beihai boiled the sea into salt."Boiling sea for salt is to boil seawater in a container, evaporate the water and crystallize into salt. As long as there is fuel, salt can be boiled everywhere on the seashore, so there is no "salt field theory".Seawater boiled salt has existed since ancient times, but seawater dried salt did not appear until very late, at least before the Tang Dynasty, so Zhu Jian did not know what a "salt farm" was.
Fang Jun said: "Benhou has mastered a brand-new method of salt production, which does not require fuel to be boiled, but requires a lot of space and manpower. I have received the grace of the Holy Lord, and the affairs are complicated. I need to build a military port, a shipyard, and prepare to build The Shibo Division, therefore, does not have enough energy to manage the affairs of the saltworks, if Xian Kunzhong is interested, he can join in, and the profits will naturally not be small."
Zhu Jian and Zhu Qu looked at each other, silent in thought.
The two have absolutely no doubts about how much profit this so-called "salt farm" can make.Fang Jun's name as "God of Wealth" is not just a vain name, it is created by a series of classic methods that can be passed down to future generations.If we only talk about the art of earning money, it can be said that people in the world are unmatched.
But just like the Xiao family's concerns, Fang Jun wanted to use huge profits to win over the Zhu family and divide the alliance of the Jiangnan gentry...
The surnames of overseas Chinese in the south of the Yangtze River are headed by "Wang Xie Yuan Xiao". Among them, the Wang family of Langya has declined and has now switched to Fang Jun's camp. The temptation of Xie's family is not difficult to guess.And the Yuan family has always been neutral, not getting too involved with other families, and flaunting aloofness.
The Wu surnames in Jiangdong are headed by "Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang". The Gu family is a firm "Fangfang faction" and will never have an affair with Fang Jun.The Lu family was ruined, but Lu Xiaoyu and Fang Jun turned their fighting into friendship and helped Fang Jun harm Zhu, Xiao, the eldest grandson and other families. Their position has become clear. It is said that there is a big business that Fang Jun will join hands with.The Zhang family is similar to the Yuan family. Although they are not obsessed with official careers, they do not move too much with other families. They are very strict with the children in the family, and they are arrogant. It is quite similar to Zhang Han in the Western Jin Dynasty. , water shield soup, sea bass gratin"? The legacy of abandoning his official position and returning to Wu...
The so-called "Jiangnan gentry" is headed by these eight surnames.
But Zhu Jian suddenly discovered that the Jiangnan gentry alliance, which was originally monolithic, gradually disintegrated without knowing it, and it was about to become a mess...
Zhu Jian had to think carefully about the future of the Zhu family, whether to stick to the Jiangnan gentry, a seemingly huge but increasingly dispersed ship, or switch to Fang Jun, a rising upstart holding a heavenly constitution...
But Zhu Qu suddenly asked: "I don't know how much salt can be produced annually with this new salt-making method from the chief executive?"
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Zhu Jian almost raised his hand to cover his face...
I know you love money, but brother, it’s not about how much salt you produce and how much you sell it for, okay?This is a question of position, a question of standing in line. Even if Fang Jun gives a golden mountain, if you can’t stand over it, you can’t;
How did this idiot love money more and more as he got older?
Zhu Qu was also a little embarrassed by everyone's staring eyes, but he still looked closely at Fang Jun, waiting for Fang Jun's answer.In his opinion, it is nothing more than a question of choosing one or the other. Whoever gives more benefits will follow whoever is there. What is there to be entangled with?
Are you talking about feelings?There are a lot of dirty things among the aristocratic families, and they all live on this one-third of an acre of land, so it is inevitable that there will be no bumps and bumps.When the Lu family was unlucky, everyone pushed the wall down, but I didn't see anyone to help out their feelings...
Fang Jun chuckled, and said in his heart that he likes you!
He raised his thumb and praised: "Brother Zhu speaks bluntly and without any affectation. You are indeed a sincere gentleman! The Marquis has planned [-] salt fields in Huating Town, and each salt field can produce no less than ten sea salts a year." Wanhu, if there is any shortage, I will make up for it for you!"
Thirty jin is jun, four jun is stone, stone is the same as dendrobium, one dendrobium is 120 jin, what is the output?
According to the questionable tax of the two salt fields in Puzhou at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the annual tax was 80 guan. The salt price at that time was about 47 yuan per catty, and the output was roughly 50 shi. The output of the two salt fields in Puzhou over the years was 10,000. to [-] shi.Puzhou and Anyi, the main salt producing areas of the Tang Dynasty, only produced [-]+ dendrobium of salt a year. It can be seen how amazing the output of [-] dendrobium in a salt farm is!
During the Zhenguan period, the price of salt was around [-] Wen per bucket. In conversion, what kind of wealth would this be?
The most important thing is that this is a deal that lasts forever. If the sea is not exhausted, it will be inexhaustible!
The output of four or five salt farms is more than that of a major salt producing area. How can it not be astonishing?
Zhu Qu's eyes were red, and he looked at Zhu Jian anxiously, the greed and urgency in his eyes gleamed nakedly...
Zhu Jian looked at his brother and smiled helplessly.
Most of the Jiangdong aristocratic families have sea salt business, but the largest one is undoubtedly the Gu family.The Gu family occupies a large number of reed marshes along the coast. If Fang Jun wants to build a "salt farm", he must have a direct showdown with the Gu family, because this has already touched the bottom line of the Gu family.
Zhu gradually understood that Fang Jun was the big enemy of the Gu family uniting with other families to put him to death in Niuzhuji before retaliating!
But can the Zhu family stand by Fang Jun's side and directly conflict with the Gu family?
Xiao Ban hesitated to speak.
He had heard that the "salt farm" had such astonishing profits, so he also wanted to participate. After all, if Xiao Ming became the long history of the Navy, he would be standing on Fang Jun's side, so why not reap some benefits?
However, directly conflicting with the Gu family was not in line with Xiao's usual style of doing things, so he dismissed the idea.
Fang Jun is drawing his salary from the bottom of the pot!
Competing with the Gu family for the reed marsh, how can the Gu family give up?
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, let alone the pillar industry that a family depends on?
Song Yingxing, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, wrote "Heavenly Creation. Zuoxian Fifth": "In Haifeng, there are people who lead seawater directly into the pond to dry it. It is very different from not borrowing the south wind.” In the first year of Jiajing Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty (1522), Haifengchang took the lead in frying and drying. It has been using the traditional salt-making process for more than 2000 years, and was invented by Shandong Wudi people. instead of...
Anyway, I can't find any information about sun-dried salt, so let's assume that sun-dried salt began in the Ming Dynasty.However, even if there was a method of drying salt before, it will definitely not be earlier than the Tang Dynasty.
