Chapter 81

Especially Mi Zhu was moved, and Lin Yang became even more composed!

As he spoke, he reached into his bosom and once again pulled out the refined modern salt from before!

He poured some onto the table, and Especially Mi Zhu's expression changed instantly!

Pure white refined salt!

Every single grain was crystal clear, without a single impurity!

"This taste!"

After tasting it casually, Especially Mi Zhu was even more shocked!

Within the taste of this refined salt, there was not the slightest hint of bitterness!

You must know!

Even for the refined salt offered as tribute to the Emperor, it is very difficult to completely remove the bitter taste!

"Zi Zhong, what do you think of this salt?"

Looking at Especially Mi Zhu before him, he naturally knew the other man's shock full well!

The salt in his hand, although it cost only three yuan and five jiao per bag in the modern era!

But in ancient times, it was a weapon of the state!

Not only was iodine added to it, but the impurities and bitterness had been removed!

It was a complete dimensional strike against other coarse salts!

"It can be called an exquisite taste; I have never tasted such salt!"

The shock in Especially Mi Zhu's eyes was hard to conceal. As a wealthy man of Xuzhou, what his family consumed was refined salt!

Yet compared to this, it was far inferior!

Thinking that private salt was indeed rampant nowadays, Especially Mi Zhu's heart could not help but be moved!

"I wonder how much Magistrate Lin intends to sell this for?"

Taking a deep breath to calm his mood, Especially Mi Zhu asked the key question!

Although this salt was good!

If the price was set too high!

I fear there would not be much profit!

Nowadays, the common people have experienced war, and there are not many wealthy people!

"I wonder if Mr. Zi Zhong thinks eight hundred coins per shi is appropriate?"

Looking at Especially Mi Zhu with meaningful eyes, Lin Yang stated a price!

In an instant!

As this price was spoken, Especially Mi Zhu was stunned!

"What? Eight hundred coins per shi?" Especially Mi Zhu could not help but exclaim, looking at Lin Yang with horror, "Magistrate Lin, did you misspeak?"

It was no wonder Especially Mi Zhu was so shocked; this price was simply too low!

During the Han Dynasty, even the worst coarse salt!

At its lowest price, still required four hundred coins per shi!

When the price was at its highest, it reached a terrifying eight thousand coins per shi!

And that was only the price of coarse salt; the price of refined salt was more than three to five times higher!

This price of eight hundred coins per shi was simply too cheap!

"Hehe, Mr. Zi Zhong, please rest assured, it will be sold at this price!"

Eight hundred coins per shi—hearing that this was truly the price, Especially Mi Zhu could no longer sit still!

The current price of coarse salt is eight hundred coins per shi!

The price of refined salt is as high as two thousand five hundred coins per shi!

With the quality of refined salt like Lin Yang's, even if it were sold for three thousand coins per shi, it would definitely be snapped up!

And now it is being sold for only eight hundred?

There is a problem, there must be a problem!

"Magistrate Lin, please speak directly: what do you need me to do?"

As a wealthy merchant of Xuzhou, if Especially Mi Zhu lacked even this much wisdom, he would not be worthy of his position as the richest man in Xuzhou!

Seeing that Especially Mi Zhu could not help but be moved, Lin Yang also revealed a smile!

He had already offered so much profit!

He was not afraid that the other party would not be moved!

"Zi Zhong, I can provide you with this refined salt at eight hundred coins per shi!"

As he spoke, looking at the now-calm Especially Mi Zhu, Lin Yang stated his purpose directly!

"However, what I need you to pay me is not money, but an equivalent value in warhorses!"

Hearing the two words "warhorses," Especially Mi Zhu's expression tightened!

Hiss!

So Lin Yang was waiting for him here!

After pondering for a moment, Especially Mi Zhu's gaze turned to the Lin Yang before him!

He still had one last question!

That was, how much refined salt did Lin Yang actually have in his hands!

"I wonder, Magistrate Lin, how much refined salt can you supply me?"

If it were only a mere hundred thousand jin, Especially Mi Zhu would certainly not do it!

The profit would be too small!

"Not much; for the first batch, it is two million jin of refined salt!"

As he said this calmly, Especially Mi Zhu, sitting opposite him, was completely dumbfounded!

Two million jin of refined salt?

Hiss!
