Chapter 131: Activated System?
After Kyle memorized everything that Lorne mentioned, he made a decision.
When he returns to the palace, he would immediately summon the ministers and convene a small group meeting.
He would tell them the whole plan and directly cut Fusang off.
First, he had to gently direct them in the direction he wanted. Then, would use economic means to firmly control the establishment of Fusang. He would take this opportunity to ensure that Fusang will be in the palm of his hands.
In the entire excavation plan, the only price that he had to pay was to send a few thousand people to Fusang and stay there for three to five years.
Moreover, the Fusang people do not need to know about the advanced technology that Lolan has. Lolan could just casually take some things and do some perfunctory teachings.
As for the methods of farming and the knack of doing business… He could have his subordinates deliberately drag out the time and talk about useless teachings every day so as to give the imperial court of the Lolan Empire more space and time to control Fusang.
‘This is absolutely wonderful.’ When Kyle thought of this, he became a little excited about the prospect. He could not wait to return to the palace to find someone to discuss it with.
However, he still forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. After he calmed down, he accompanied Lorne to eat breakfast and drink tea.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Kyle’s mind when thought of an important matter.
He hurriedly fumbled around on his body and took out an oil paper bag.
“Lorne, if I don’t remember this now, I will really forget about it later. Actually, I came to look for you today because of this.”
As he spoke, Kyle carefully placed the oil paper bag on the table and unfolded it bit by bit.
Inside was a small pile of white and fine salt.
Lorne immediately poked his head over and dipped his finger into it. After observing it for a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face.
This was not the batch of fine salt he had before. Judging from the workmanship and the degree of refinement, it was still a little rough.
In other words, the oil paper bag had the newly produced refined salt.
A strange light flashed in Lorne’s eyes, and then he asked with some joy, “Old friend, was this salt produced by them?”
Kyle nodded heavily, and his face was also full of smiles.
“You’re right. This was produced by our workers. The moment my subordinates reported to me, I took it and came to look for you.
“What do you think about it? Did this pass the test? Can it be sold at a good price?”
Lorne put the salt on his hand into his mouth and tasted it. Then, he gently patted the table.
“It doesn’t matter. It may be a little rougher than the one I made myself, but it’s definitely a high-quality product. If it’s sold now, it’ll definitely sell well!
“You can start your business soon. As long as you set a reasonable price, we can immediately sell it!”
After receiving the affirmation from the original owner, Lorne, Kyle was energized.
“With your assurance, I am relieved. You will be able to see the sale of refined salt in the eastern and western markets soon. If we make money, I will come to you immediately!”
Lorne nodded in satisfaction.
To be honest, this was the most important thing for him in the first phase of money-making. It was also the fundamental operation to obtain a large amount of wealth.
As for the fraud and cheating of the Fusang people, it was just a side trip that earned him some extra cash.
As long as the refined salt industry was on the right track, the money earned that day would probably be uncountable.
The two discussed the matter of refined salt for a while in high spirits until they agreed on some other minor details.
When they were both satisfied, only then did Kyle stand up happily and patted his clothes.
“Lorne, let’s go for it. I’ll go and settle the rest of the matters now. You just have to wait and observe the reaction of the people in the eastern and western markets!”
Lorne nodded and then sent Kyle to the door.
The two cupped their hands to each other again. Only then did Kyle quickly leave the tavern, get on the carriage at the usual place, and returned to the palace.
He was in a hurry to go back. He called all the high-ranking officials above the count in the court to the palace for a small meeting.
After Kyle left, Lorne stretched and cleaned up the leftover breakfast on the table. Then, he was ready to return to the usual days, tinker with some novel things, and study some things that he did not particularly understand.
However, just as he tidied up the table and placed the Lolan Empire’s law book on the table, a crisp sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! There are still 72 hours left before the system is activated. Host, please be prepared and wait patiently!]
After a few seconds of silence, Lorne suddenly became excited and stood up.
He instantly recognized that sound. It was the system that he had to wait for four months before it could be awakened.
It turned out that before he knew it, it was already July. The time that he had been painstakingly waiting for had passed so quickly. To be honest, Lorne had actually been used to opening the door every morning, closing the door at night, and occasionally inviting the group of businessmen.
In his spare time, he would do something else to pass the time, entertain himself, and learn some new things. He had really forgotten about the system.
Such an easy life became a staple lifestyle for him. If not for the system’s notification today, Lorne would have long forgotten about it.
However, with the system, it was still a valuable helper for him. Although he did not know what the system’s effect was, it definitely would not cheat him.
After the system was activated, Lorne might have more things to do and more goals to achieve.
In October this year, when the emperor, Kyle, resumes his official examinations, he would go and get good results.
He would use this system to start his own path to a meteoric rise. Although he had only been in the Lolan Empire for a few months, he did not have any official or power base.
At the very least, he had obtained the money and familiarized himself with the environment of the entire Lolan Empire. When the golden finger appeared, even if he did not have any connections, he would definitely be able to soar.
However, Lorne had no idea that he had already accumulated the most powerful connection in the entire Lolan Empire and was still thinking of relying on the system to solve his problem!
