Liu Feng nodded, he could understand this.
After all, the situation in Yanzhou is rather special.
It is completely understandable that the court would exercise stricter control.
This is what the emperor considered as the issue of taxation.
If it were him, he would just limit the supply.
Cut off your channel for Tiandihui to get salt.
"For example, one of the pickles that everyone loves, Eight Treasure Pickles, is difficult to make because it's high-end, and you have to use good white salt."
"But because of the salt problem, our signs are only unusable for a short period of time each year."
Liu Feng understood.
Obviously, the salt incident has greatly affected the business of Wangyue Tower.
Seeing Zhang Baodong's sad face, Liu Feng suddenly spoke.
"What if I have salt? A lot of salt that's finer than white salt."
Zhang Baodong grinned.
"Brother Liu, please stop joking with me."
"It's hard to even get white salt, let alone salt that's better than white salt."
Looking at Liu Feng's serious expression, Zhang Baodong was puzzled at first, then stunned, and then he stood up.
"Boss Liu, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Do you really have such a good thing?"
Liu Feng nodded slightly.
Then, Zhang Baodong knelt down unconsciously, as if he had seen his reborn parents.
"Boss Liu, are you short of a son?"
"How about this, you take me in and I'll be your adopted son."
"You've been so kind to me, even better than my father. First you gave me so much cloth and let me buy it on credit, and now you're giving me salt. This is the kind of treatment you only give to your own son."
"Just shut up."
Liu Feng was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore.
Not long after, Liu Feng took Zhang Baodong away from Xiuyuan Pavilion and went directly to Wenhuang County.
Originally, Zhang Baodong took the initiative to get to know him, and only after learning that he was from Yanzhou did he interact with him. His purpose was to learn about the business and travel situation in Yanzhou.
Now, there is no need to ask at all, everything seems to be arranged.
Zhang Baodong was even more delighted when he learned that Liu Feng also had a local escort agency in Youzhou, and the two hit it off immediately.
Liu Ye took Zhang Baodong straight to the escort agency. The distance was not short, and Zhang Baodong was riding a donkey, so his speed was too slow.
It took three days to reach the escort agency, but I arrived at the perfect time. Not only was my father-in-law Wu Santong there, but my legal advisor was also there.
Then we started talking business.
Liu Ye did not hesitate to ask someone to bring out the samples of edible salt that had been produced previously.
"This is the fine salt we produce. You can take a look."
"We don't have much inventory right now, but it's enough to last for a while."
"Production in Zhengde County hasn't stopped either, so we can still supply them."
"If you like, I'll let you take it all this time. It's not much, about eight stones."
Since Zhang Baodong is already here, Liu Ye is willing to give him everything. Not to mention anything else, Zhang Baodong's family is naturally not short of money as they can open a restaurant like Wangyue Tower.
After all, Zhang Baodong called Wangyue Tower a small semicolon.
It is conceivable what a huge behemoth Huilong Trading Company is.
This means that one stone of edible salt is available every quarter.
According to the scale of use of Wangyue Tower, this salt is enough for them to use for two years.
This is a great thing for their restaurant.
Moreover, Zhang Baodong knew very well that this amount was only Liu Ye's output in one month or even less.
As for high-quality salt, the output of several salt fields in Youzhou is not low, but the usage in Youzhou is not that large.
In fact, this is also due to the special nature of Yanzhou. There is a huge demand for pickled dishes in this place.
Another point is that in addition to the great demand for pickled vegetables in Yanzhou, they also sell pickled vegetables to Liaodong and even to the other side of the Baishan Mountains.
Therefore, the demand for salt, especially high-quality salt, is extremely huge.
The most famous restaurant in Yanzhou is Huajian Pavilion, which also supplies salt specifically to the wealthy families in Yanzhou.
So every year when we go to their Moon Watching Tower, the salt is cobbled together.
"The color of this salt looks very pure, cleaner than the best salt I have ever seen. If such salt were in Yanzhou, it would be extraordinary."
"Let me try to see if there's any bitterness."
After all, he is the third in command of Huilong Trading Company. Although he looks young and cynical, his ability is unquestionable. One can tell the extraordinary quality of this salt just by looking at it.
Taking out the sample handed to him by Master Ji, Zhang Baodong took out some with a tiny spoon, observed it carefully first, and then began to put a little bit into his mouth.
In an instant, Zhang Baodong's eyes lit up, opened very wide, and then he seemed to have epilepsy.
As the ultimate taste of salt without any peculiar smell melted between Zhang Baodong's lips and teeth, Zhang Baodong's expression became more and more ecstatic.
Wow, if you don’t know, you would think you were eating something delicious.
Liu Feng touched his forehead and shook his head.
"My God, this quality."
"This taste is really good. It's of the quality that can be offered as an offering."
He moved his mouth a few more times, and Zhang Baodong was even more surprised.
"No, even tribute salt will have some impurities, but this one has no impurities at all. This is of higher quality than tribute salt."
