"What on earth are we going to do for His Highness King Su?"The leading Western Region businessman asked with confusion.

Zhu Kai was not in a hurry to reveal the answer. Instead, under the puzzled eyes of all the Western Region merchants, he calmly took out the paper and began to write and draw freely.

"All I ask for is that you can collect this kind of grass extensively for me in all parts of the Western Region."

Zhu Kai said while showing the rubber sketch he had drawn in his hand.

"As far as I know, this herb is like a common weed in the Western Regions. As long as you can transport a large amount of this herb to Hanzhong Prefecture, I will exchange the same amount of salt."

"In other words, one stone of grass can be exchanged for one stone of salt. Zhu

Kai explained the terms of exchange in detail,"But one thing is that these grasses must be fresh. If they are already withered when delivered, I will never accept them.""

Rubber grass is a unique plant in the Western Regions. Its unique feature is that the grass can secrete natural rubber.

Most people may not know the use of rubber, but Zhu Xi's heart is like a mirror.

Rubber is undoubtedly an indispensable raw material for future industrial development.

What's more, Zhu Kai not only wants to build cement roads, but also plans to form a huge caravan.

If cement roads are built without rubber tires to match, the transportation efficiency will be improved. There is no way to talk about it.

After seeing the rubber sketch clearly, the merchants in the Western Regions all showed expressions of disbelief.

In their eyes, this kind of grass is just like the weeds that can be seen everywhere. They can have as much as they want.

With such grass, it is impossible to Being able to exchange for the same amount of salt is like pie in the sky.

Of course, there are some smart people who speculate that this grass may have special uses that have not yet been discovered.

After all, Su Wang Zhu Kai is willing to use such precious salt In exchange for these weeds, there must be some unknown secret in them.

Some people are quite familiar with this kind of grass and know that except that its juice is relatively viscous, there seems to be nothing special about it.

But what exactly does Zhu Kai want this kind of grass to do? What? This is undoubtedly the question on everyone’s mind

"That’s right, as long as it’s fresh and of this type of grass."

Zhu Kai reiterated with a serious face,"No matter what method you use to transport it, as long as it is still fresh as before when it is transported to Hanzhong Mansion, after removing the soil from the roots, I will give you the weight of salt based on how much the grass weighs."

"Moreover, I have enough salt production, so I will definitely manage it!"

Zhu Gai's words undoubtedly gave reassurance to the merchants in the Western Regions.

After hearing this, the merchants in the Western Regions were all ecstatic.

Naturally, they would not miss such a good thing, and they all expressed their willingness to fully cooperate with Zhu Gai's actions.

Some people even began to fantasize about collecting such weeds after returning to their hometowns.

In their eyes, these weeds everywhere have turned into refined salt everywhere.

Soon the merchants in the Western Regions left Suzhou happily. Wangfu, before leaving, he did not forget to express his gratitude to Zhu Lai.

However, Geng Qing was quite surprised by Zhu Lai's behavior for a while.

"Your Highness, are you really going to trade salt for that weed?

Geng Qing couldn't help but ask,"What's so special about that weed?" Could it be that it is some kind of fairy grass? Zhu

Gai did not directly answer Geng Qing's question, but chose to avoid talking about it:"You will naturally know about this in the future, there is no need to ask more now.""

Geng Qing had no choice but to give up and stop asking about the matter.

Then Zhu Lai asked Geng Qing about the progress of road expansion in Ganzhou Prefecture.

After learning that everything was going smoothly, Zhu Lai nodded with satisfaction and told Geng Qing had to seize the time to complete the project.

After handling these matters, another visitor came to Prince Su

's Mansion. He was obviously a regular visitor to Prince Su's Mansion, and the guard at the door immediately went in to report it when he saw him.

When Zhu Lai learned about it, he also He was immediately taken to the study to meet him

"Li Shan, a commoner, has met His Highness Prince Su!"When the fat man saw Zhu Lai, he smiled and saluted.

"No need to give gifts. Zhu

Lai waved his hand to indicate that the other party did not need to be polite,"Li Shan, how are things going at the theater?""

This Li Shan was originally a storyteller in Hanzhong Mansion, and was later taken under Zhu Lai's command. Before that,

Zhu Lai discovered a huge business opportunity - in ancient times, ordinary people's entertainment life was relatively scarce. In addition to listening to music on the hook, street entertainment Apart from juggling, listening and speaking, etc., theater was one of their few entertainment options.

However, Zhu Kai found that the operas performed in these theaters were old-fashioned and had ugly singing that could not attract the interest of a time traveler like him.

So, He then came up with an excellent idea - to use the best-selling novels of later generations to adapt into operas to attract the audience.

Dear bosses, I am shameless here and ask for some flowers, evaluation votes and monthly tickets!

Thank you! Thank you all for your support!!!!
