Someone wants to see their jokes?

Dream on!

These stove households have been dealing with salt for several lifetimes, and the things inside are clear, and some people even simply sell illicit salt, otherwise what do they live on?

"Folks, old and young masters! The Son of Heaven has seen us, and we have also seen Wang Shaobaoli! ”

The stove household, who had been waiting for the news for a long time, boiled instantly, and many people asked, is the Son of Heaven majestic? I also heard that Wang Shaobao arrested the Tartar Khan, and he is a powerful figure.

Is it the kind of thing that said in the commentary, the waist is ten girths, and you can eat one bucket at a meal......

That's a rice bucket, not Wang Shaobao.

"Alright, the big guy still cares about business! Wang Shaobao gave us a plan, you can refer to it in detail, can you do it? ”

The crowd pricked up their ears...... These representatives of the stove households told Wang Yue's plan...... The production of salt is handed over to the stove households, and for each salt introduction, two silver taxes are charged, and then they can be sold, as for the cost of salt production, the freight on the road, and the sales expenses...... They are all responsible.

The plan is really concise and to the point, and there is nothing complicated about it.

How much salt to produce, how much tax to pay, and the rest depends on the ability of the big guys.

Based on the current price of salt, one stone of salt is almost three taels of silver, and as for the cost and freight, it is at most one tael, that is, they have almost two taels of money.

That's too much of a benefit, isn't it?

"Uncle Bai, if you want me to say, you should dispel your thoughts as soon as possible, this money is not so easy to earn."

The one who spoke was a young man, surnamed Han, the third in line, known as Han San...... This kid is also a son of the stove, but he didn't work well at that time. In recent years, he has made a lot of money by selling illicit salt. Not to mention that the family's house was renovated, and they also married a daughter-in-law, and it is said that they still have an outer room in the city.

Not only is he knowledgeable, he is doing well, and he is deeply admired by young people, but some old people don't think so, thinking that this kid is not practical.

"Uncle Bai...... When we boil salt, we use wood and iron pots the most...... Don't look at those big salt merchants bullying us and raising the price very high, but after all, we can still buy it. Now that they have withdrawn, can we buy enough iron pots just by relying on us? I'm afraid it won't work! ”

Han San saw that everyone was silent, and he smiled again: "What's more, we have produced salt, how can we transport it out?" With a horse-drawn carriage, or with a boat? Do you want to pay money through the state and county? Can people let them go? ”

"Besides, even if we transport salt to the city, how can we sell it? Will the yamen be seized? Is there a place to store it? ”

Every time he said something, the gang turned black.

In the end, Uncle Bai was even more angry and said, "According to what you say, this thing will not work?" ”

"Wrong!"

Han San said: "Uncle Bai, what I mean is that we can't just watch thieves eat meat and not watch thieves get beaten. Those big salt merchants make money, and they have great skills and hands! If we want to make money, we have to think of a good way to open up the joints in it, so that we can go smoothly and put the money in our pockets, otherwise, we won't be able to get anything, and we will lose our money! ”

Several young and virtuous people looked at each other, which can be regarded as agreeing with Han San's meaning.

"We're thinking simple, what are you going to do?"

Han San smiled, "Uncle Bai, do you know what I went out for the first few years?" ”

Isn't it selling illicit salt?

A few old people didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear.

"That's right." Han San smiled, "I went to the north and went to see what to do with other people's salt lakes!" ”

"You went to the North?" Uncle Bai was shocked, "San'er, why didn't you say it?" ”

Han San said, "What did I say? People are different from us, and when I say it, it reaches the ears of the salt merchants, and they don't want to kill me! ”

"Uncle Bai, and all the folks, if you want to make money, it's best to follow my method!"

……

The salt-making process of the Ming Dynasty has made great progress, and the method of combining drying and cooking is generally adopted.

The stove will first introduce seawater into the salt pan to concentrate the salt and remove impurities, and then boil the dried brine in a pot to make edible salt.

The quality of the salt produced in this way is still very good, the only problem is that it is a bit of a waste of fuel.

"We plan to order 100 ships of charcoal and 20,000 iron pots."

Han San led a few ragged stove households, found the Shanxi Guild Hall, and put forward his own requirements.

The person on the other side looked at him and couldn't help but smile.

"I said this friend, you can do it if you want, we don't owe credit here, let's pay the money first!"

When Uncle Bai heard this, his face became whiter than his surname, where did they get the money!

"That...... Can you be accommodating, we are in the salt business, and when we make money, we will naturally pay it back. ”

"Making money? What if you lose money? Walk! Don't look for a bargain here! ”

Han San hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Although we are in tatters, it is really not impossible, if you are not willing to help, I will go to Jizhen Iron Factory and go to the Guo family to borrow money, if you are not willing to do it, it is your loss!" ”

When the steward heard it, this guy actually knew about Jizhen Iron and Steel Plant, and he also knew about the Guo family, isn't it simple?

Just as he hesitated, Yang Bo walked in quickly from outside, and the steward said a few words to him, and Yang Bo immediately greeted him with a smile.

He looked at Han San and smiled happily: "Very good, very careful heart, like a person who can do things." I will give you as many iron pots and as many coals as you want. And I can also sign an offtake agreement with you and lease it to your shop, how about it? ”

Han San was stunned, "This adult, you didn't lie?" ”

"Of course not, this matter is a piece of cake for me, the strength of the Yang family, you don't have to doubt it!"

Han San groaned slightly, and blurted out, "Then don't we still have to be subject to the big family?" ”

"Hahaha!"

Yang Bo laughed, "Well said! As a businessman, I want to make money, and I am not ashamed to be subject to others, and I am not ashamed to be subject to others and I can't make money, so it is a shame! I can make a relatively fair deal with you. If one day, you have the strength, you can form your own transportation team, you can buy your own shops, or you can get rid of me. Of course, I will also choose to cooperate with other stove households, all in all, this is business, you and I will, don't you say? ”

Han San thought carefully for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I will hand over at most eighty percent of the production capacity to you, and we will sell the remaining two percent!" Also, you have to lend us 30,000 taels of silver as start-up capital! The interest rate cannot be higher than that of the bank, and it must be given to us as soon as possible, otherwise I will go to the bank to borrow money. ”

Yang Bo snorted angrily: "You threaten me? ”

Han San pursed his lips and didn't speak.

After a minute, Yang Bo suddenly nodded and laughed loudly, "Okay, that's what you want, I'm Yang Bo voting for you!" ”

Yang Bo is not a joke, his ability to mobilize funds is second only to Wang Yue.

It's not just strong, it's so strong that it screams.

This product inherited Wang Yue's mantle, where I still don't understand, as in the past, relying on the control of the salt farm, relying on the nest given by the imperial court, specializing in salt, and enjoying the salt profit alone, this era has passed.

I have already talked about the disadvantages of the Daming salt method, but in the final analysis, the biggest problem is that the process is too complicated and there are too many rentiers.

For example, after the abolition of the Kaizhong Law, silver was exchanged for salt...... Let's ask, who paid for it, and did the imperial court and household department give salt introduction?

Obviously impossible, it must be powerful, it has been recognized by the Yandao Yamen, and it has been recognized by the household department, and its hands and eyes are all over the sky.

And after getting the salt lead, it is natural to give benefits to others.

The salt merchants' main efforts are focused on managing these relationships...... As for the more important salt production technology, logistics, sales...... These things that really have technical content and can promote the progress of the times have been put on the back burner.

If you can make money lying comfortably, why stand up!

Yang Bo knew very well that the master hated the most was these people who did not work hard.

Therefore, Yang Bo has transformed.

Why do you have to make money from salt!

Isn't it fragrant to sell tools, sell shops, and provide logistics?

In the past, Jin merchants have never been able to break through three percent in salt, since this is the case, then change the way of thinking and start from other angles.

I'm Wang Yue's apprentice, don't I even have this bit of eyesight!

Yang Bo made a move, and those stove households couldn't wait to take action.

"This is a hundred salts, twelve taels of silver in taxes, you are all optimistic!"

Han San and a few other villagers nodded vigorously, their eyes staring at each other, and when the red seal symbolizing the official salt was stamped, everyone sighed.

They took the salt, along with the official documents for the payment of the tax, and handed them over to the buyers.

"One hundred leads, according to the purchase price we agreed, is eighty taels, but the above means that the price will rise by two percent, that is, ninety-six taels...... However, there is a precondition for accepting new silver dollars...... If you want eighty taels of silver or ninety-six silver dollars, choose for yourselves. ”

Uncle Bai was puzzled, and said in his heart that it was all silver taels, what kind of silver dollars do you want!

Han San smiled and said, "It's still a silver dollar, and a silver dollar is convenient." It would be even better if it could be deposited directly into the bank account! ”

The steward was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Young man, even if you are so clever, you can't lose, I wish you a lot of money in advance!" ”

Han San clenched his fists, deducted the tax silver, and then deducted the cost, and earned a full fifty yuan!

"Uncle Bai, go buy two fat sheep, let's eat meat together in the whole village tonight!"
