Daming: In the beginning, he mistakenly regarded Emperor Yongle as his own father

What the hell!

Good to lick!

If they hadn't hidden their identities well, Yang Shiqi and others would have thought that Lu Lin had seen through His Majesty's identity.

Flattering without any trace.

Zhu Di himself felt a little ashamed and panicked.

Don't brag, don't brag, the more you brag, the more embarrassing he will be.

"Just say what His Majesty will do."

"Stupid." Lu Lin scolded him, and said, "Why does Xu Guogong cooperate with me?"

Zhu Di didn't know what the problem was.

"Because you know how to make salt."

Isn't this the crux of the problem?

"Yes, because I can make salt. The reason why poisonous salt can be turned into fine salt is because of my technology. Without this technology, no matter how many mountains of salt Xu Guogong has, it will be useless."

"So, do you understand?"

Zhu Di suddenly slapped his forehead when he heard the words, and understood.

"I... If His Majesty directly controls the salt-making technology, then no matter how many salt mountains they have, they must rely on His Majesty's technology. Is that what you mean?"

Correct!

Lu Lin nodded in relief. Although this old man was a little slow to respond, he was not too stupid.

"Your Majesty only needs to control the salt-making technology in his hands, then sell it to them, collect high salt taxes, let them mine salt mountains, and sell salt all over the world. The court will reap the benefits of fishermen without any effort."

"No matter how big their business is, if the salt is sold to the ends of the earth, the interests of the imperial court will always be guaranteed."

"You don't have to do anything, just sit and collect money, isn't it better than the court selling salt by itself?"

"What is this called? This is called a patent."

"If you want to use my technology, you have to spend money to sell it."

"patent?"

Zhu Di was deeply shocked by Lu Lin's words.

Although I don't know what a patent means, but I feel so awesome.

With little effort, the major problem of rampant private salt and insecure state treasury was solved.

Genius, simply too genius.

Chapter 53 Farming Turns to Capital

"Then will you give your technology to the court?"

Lu Lin gave a "huh" and was very disgusted.

"Of course it can't be given in vain. The imperial court has to give me a dividend, so it must give me [-]%."

Zhu Di: ...

"Then don't you earn two shares?"

Xu Guogong, then you get another six points of profit, and the court gets another [-]% of your profit.

After all, the most beautiful thing is you.

They always say that I am a profiteer, but I think you are the most like a profiteer.

"No way, this is also my patent."

Lu Lin said happily.

From the time he prepared to make salt, Lu Lin was ready to eat two meals.

At Xu Guogong's place, if you want to make salt, you have to rely on him.

As for the imperial court, as long as the private salt is opened up, and then in the name of a patent, a government permit to sell the private salt is issued, and the tax can be justified.

That is to say, whether it is Xu Guogong's salt, Mu Wangfu's salt, or other merchant's salt, if you want to sell it, you have to spend money to buy a sales permit from the Yantie Division.

As for how much tax to pay, it depends on what His Majesty wants.

Although the tax is paid, Lu Lin will get less profit from Xu Guogong, but he can't stand the court and there are other large-scale salt mines.

Regardless of whether it is mined by the imperial court or privately mined by the people, as long as Lu Lin's mining technology is used, he has to pay him dividends.

Wow.

It's just making money while lying down.

From now on, Lu Lin no longer has to look at the face of the dog system, and can buy whatever he wants.

Just when Lu Lin was so beautiful, Zhu Di left in a hurry.

Although Lu Lin just gave a rough idea, opening up private salts is indeed a trick.

"What do you think?"

Zhu Di asked Yang Shiqi and others for their opinions.

Yao Guangxiao stroked his beard, and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that Mr. Lu's plan is very poisonous, and he pointed out the key point."

"Since poisonous salt technology has appeared, it must not be suppressed. The more it is suppressed, the more violent the rebound will be. Since it cannot be suppressed, the imperial court simply let go of private salt and let them do it."

"As long as the Imperial Salt and Iron Division has mastered the technology of making salt, the folks who want to mine salt mountains must undergo technical training from the imperial court, so that the imperial court can collect taxes in a legitimate way."

"In addition, people like Xu Guogong who have their own special salt-making technology also need to purchase a private salt sales permit."

"The license to sell depends on how much illicit salt is sold. If they get a [-] jin certificate, they will pay [-] jin and sell [-] jin of salt."

At this time Yang Shiqi also joined in.

"Yes, let's do this. If you sell too much, you will be arrested and sentenced for smuggling."

"In this way, it not only prevents the private salt from robbing the official salt business, but also increases the court's tax revenue. The revenue of the treasury has not been affected in any way, but has increased a lot compared to before."
