Zhao Hao smiled slightly, but asked calmly: "Then may I ask, clan leader, who will take over Zhao Ling's leadership?"
Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but ask, "There's no definite candidate yet."
"Hao'er, do you have a good candidate to recommend?"
"Hao'er, you can say whatever you want!"
Zhao Hao waved his hands quickly: "The clan leader misunderstood. I don't have any suitable candidates. I was just asking casually."
Zhao Sheng nodded slightly: "Then Hao'er, when do you think we can move the spirit tablet back to the family?"
"I will definitely gather my clansmen and hold a grand ceremony."
Zhao Hao said softly: "Let me discuss it with my father, and we'll talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Zhao Sheng immediately said, "Okay, then I will wait for your news. When the time comes, I will just send someone back to the family to inform them."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, just as the sun rose, the summons from the palace suddenly came again.
Although Zhao Hao was in a bad mood when he woke up, he smiled with satisfaction when he heard the servant coming to deliver the message.
Last night, after giving the poem to Jiang Wan'er, he deliberately didn't say much and left the palace directly.
On the contrary, the method of making flake salt was not mentioned.
This is the day we have been waiting for. After Jiang Wan'er realizes what is happening, she will definitely summon him again.
You can see me again and get another chance.
It has to be said that Zhao Hao put a lot of effort into conquering that royal sister.
Don't miss any opportunity.
He quickly washed and changed into clean clothes. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast before he followed the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict into the palace again.
In the Pepper Room, when Zhao Hao stepped in, Jiang Wan'er, wearing a light yellow plain skirt, was sitting behind a desk reading a book.
Seeing Zhao Hao come in, she gently put down the book in her hand and looked at Zhao Hao with her beautiful eyes.
Thinking of the poem last night, her eyes became complicated for a moment.
Taking a deep breath secretly, Jiang Wan'er asked softly: "Zhao Hao, did you forget something last night?"
Zhao Hao pretended to be puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, the snowflake salt has been taken out. You should not have forgotten anything."
Jiang Wan'er snorted, "You haven't told me the method of making snowflake salt yet. Can it really be produced on a large scale?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao slapped his forehead fiercely: "Oh, I hope your majesty will forgive me, I really forgot about this matter."
Seeing his expression of sudden enlightenment, Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but frown secretly.
Boy, do you really think I can't see what's going on in your mind?
It was obviously intentional!
This guy really put a lot of effort into getting into the palace to see me more often!
However, although she knew what was going on, she did not reveal it, but continued: "Then you should write down the method of preparing snowflake salt for me."
"Of course, if it is completed, the court may make a lot of profit, and it will not take this benefit for nothing."
"Just like dry wine, I'll give you some dividends every year, but don't write them out in the open."
"Just convert it and give it to you from the treasury."
Zhao Hao's mind worked very quickly and he understood as soon as he heard it. This was Jiang Wan'er's way of protecting herself.
As for Ganjiu, he got shares. Although a considerable portion of it was distributed as profits later, the annual income was definitely not small.
This is enough to make people jealous.
As for the snowflake salt, once it is made, the annual profit will definitely be more than that of dry wine.
If the share is written openly, it will definitely arouse jealousy and lead many people to make secret moves.
As the old saying goes, the protruding rafters rot first, the bird that sticks out gets shot first, and we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it.
If the dividends were allocated to him directly from the treasury, no one would notice it.
It will reduce a lot of trouble.
Zhao Hao immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but the impact of this snowflake salt is significant."
"If Your Majesty really wants to promote it, you must be fully prepared. If you act rashly, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Waner's brows flickered.
I didn't expect that Zhao Hao could say such words.
However, she immediately asked calmly: "It's not the influence you mentioned, what exactly do you mean?"
Zhao Hao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the salt business I am engaged in now is basically a privately made and government-sold salt business."
"So, once the method of making snowflake salt is introduced, should we continue to operate in this way?"
“If we continue with the current business model, not only will the preparation method be spread, but the court’s profit-making method will not change much.”
"Compared to now, the income from that will not increase much."
“Also, it won’t make much of a difference in expanding marketing.”
Private production and official sale means the court would not care too much about the production of salt, but would purchase the salt produced and then resell it.
This is to control the salt industry, stabilize prices and stabilize the market.
At the same time, a large amount of tax revenue can be obtained.
However, if the same method is used for flake salt, it will not achieve the effect of being a rare commodity.
Moreover, once the preparation method is spread, the neighboring countries will surely be able to obtain it soon.
If we do this well, it will be difficult to promote it on a large scale.
Jiang Wan'er looked straight at Zhao Hao with deep eyes and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao Hao said, "It's very simple. We can reverse the current model. The imperial court will only focus on production, and as for sales, we will adopt a combination of official and private sales."
Jiang Wan'er frowned upon hearing this and said, "If private sales are allowed, the imperial court will lose a large portion of its tax revenue!"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, it's actually not that serious, because the source of the preparation is in the hands of the court."
"The addition of private sales will allow people in remote areas to have salt to eat."
“If all salt is sold by the government like it is now, people in remote areas will still have difficulty getting salt.”
“Official sales, after all, can only be concentrated in the most densely populated areas of the country.”
“Not enough energy.”
"After all, official sales are definitely not private sales."
"If we include private sales in the mix, the imperial court will be able to control the source of production, and sales will surely rise."
"Moreover, the imperial court can collect appropriate taxes on private sales, and the official sales can still help stabilize the price of salt."
"In this way, private sales can be taxed. When sales increase, tax revenue will increase significantly. Official sales can stabilize prices, so the salt market will not plummet or soar, which would be manipulated by salt merchants."
“Kill many birds with one stone.”
"In addition, we can ensure that the preparation method is not obtained by other neighboring countries, and greatly increase our salt industry tax revenue."
After hearing what Zhao Hao said, Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes became crystal clear and bright.
