Chapter 226: Hoarding

"After the discussion and decision of the seven major families, the price of salt in Chang'an City will be greatly increased, and then the delivery will be stopped, the Dou family will make a decision now, whether to stand on the side of the imperial court or follow the seven families!"

Just when the three members of the Dou family were stunned, the man said something that made them even more confused.

"What does that mean?"

Dou Xing bowed his head and asked with a humble attitude.

The man said a bunch of brainless words when he entered the door, and a few people still didn't understand what was going on.

"If you stand on the side of the court, don't think about being a salt merchant in the future!"

The man glanced at the three of them contemptuously, and turned impatiently to leave!

"My Dou family has always been in the same breath as the Seven Great Families, how can I stand on the side of the imperial court?"

Dou Xing, who reacted, suddenly smiled all over his face, and quickly stood up and said his position!

The Seven Great Families are not only powerful, but also have a high prestige among the people, so their Dou family can't afford to mess with them at all!

Moreover, the green salt business run by their family has always been supplied by the seven major families, and if they offend them and cut off the salt road, the loss will be great.

Therefore, without thinking about it, he chose the Seven Great Families.

"Since that's the case, then we still have ...... to talk about!"

Seeing that the Dou family was more acquainted, the man's face finally looked better.

"Even if the virtuous nephew doesn't come today, the old man plans to send someone to the Lu Mansion to apologize......!"

After the old lady of the Dou family sighed deeply, he said apologetically: "It's really wrong for Feng Xian to let the Seven Great Families suffer losses, but the culprit is that Zhao Yin, if it weren't for his demagogy and threats, Feng Xian wouldn't have done it!" ”

"Today, there is news from the Ministry of Officials, saying that there is a large vacancy among the officials in the DPRK and China, and Feng Xian and I may be promoted this time, and when the time comes, my Dou family will definitely serve the Seven Great Families!"

Dou Xing bowed slightly, and hurriedly added.

"Good! I also know what you mean, and when I return home, I will convey this matter to the patriarch!" ”

The man who had been cold-faced finally smiled at this time.

The Lu family's current power in the court has been almost eliminated by Zhao Yin's kid, and now is the time when talents are needed, if the two of them can really fill the vacancies of officials above the fifth grade, the Lu family will have a say in the court!

Therefore, his attitude has eased a lot now.

"It's hard to ......!"

Dou Xing apologized, and then asked with a puzzled face, "I don't know what happened to the seven major families cutting off the supply of green salt this time?" ”

"Since you are in the same breath as the Seven Great Families, then I don't have to hide it from you, the reason why the family made this decision was completely forced by the horses, so they decided to fight back, let the emperor think about it, is it more important to protect the horses, or is it more important to protect the country?"

The man's face was solemn, and he said with a light sigh.

"Humph! It's all caused by Zhao Yin's kid! ”

Old lady Dou snorted coldly, and said resentfully: "This kid is doing nonsense all day long, not only harming the courtiers, but also taking the princess to visit the Qinglou, which is simply a bad deed, but the emperor still doesn't care about it, and acts arbitrarily, it's just confused!" ”

"This is not just as simple as being confused, this is clearly to use the hands of the kid to remove our seven major families from ......!"

The man twisted his eyebrows and continued through gritted teeth: "This kid designed to rob the grain business, and now he has a monopoly on paper and books, without these two items, the income of the seven major families will be reduced by half every year!" ”

"If the emperor can punish the horse and stop him acting recklessly, the seven major families will not stop supplying salt this time!"

"By the way, dare to ask, if the supply of salt is stopped, then what can we salt merchants do?"

Dou Xing asked tentatively.

"You can rest assured, as long as you are on our side, you will never suffer losses, on the contrary, you can also take this opportunity to make a lot of money!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"To tell the truth, the family's plan this time is divided into two steps, first of all, the price of salt will be increased tenfold, which is intended to warn the emperor that if the emperor still connives, then the family will stop supplying salt one after another!"

"When the time comes, won't the price of this salt be ......?"

Dou Xing's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a good way to make money, and then bowed his waist and asked with a smile on his face, "I don't know, can my Dou family prepare a batch of green salt first?" ”

"Since they are all my own people, I can ask the patriarch to let the Dou family prepare the next batch in advance, but the price of this salt will definitely be slightly higher than before!"

The man said bluntly.

"It doesn't matter the price, as long as it allows us to stock up on some goods!"

Seeing that the man agreed, Dou Xing happily closed his mouth.

Datang's existing salt farms have been completely monopolized by the Seven Great Families, and if he wants to get the goods, he can only go to the Seven Great Families, so he plans to put up a batch first.

When the green salt is really out of stock, if it doesn't work, the price may increase by a hundred times!

Even if the purchase price is five times higher than usual, there is a profit.

"Don't worry, I'll report to the patriarch when I go back!"

After the man groaned for a while, he said lightly: "There are not many dried green salts now, so the Seven Great Families are already starting to stock up, but since the Dou family is ready to stand on the same front as the Seven Great Families, the family can also give the Dou family a small amount of salt goods!" ”

"Dou has thanked ...... here!"

Dou Xing's eyes were shining, and he hurriedly thanked him.

The price of green salt is about to rise, and when the time comes, even if you only have a small amount of spot in your hand, you can make a lot of money!

If it is really out of stock in the future, then you will make more money.

When the time comes, it will not only be as simple as a few times, but it will also be a hundred times greater!

......

"Where's the money? What about Lao Tzu's silver? ”

After leaving the palace, Zhao Yin was stunned for a moment, and his large boxes of silver were gone.

Are you kidding?

In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, in this well-guarded palace, his own silver was actually lost?

Just after coming out of the imperial study, he met Changle, and then went to see the queen mother to discuss the wedding with him.

But with half a cup of tea, why did Lao Tzu's silver be lost? As he kept looking around, he couldn't believe that he couldn't find any clues.

"Master Horse, your silver has been taken away by the people of the household, I heard that it seems to be the emperor's decree!"

After seeing Zhao Yin's sharp eyes, the nearest Qianniu Wei was about to cry, others didn't understand the means of the horse master, but as a guard in the palace, how could he not know, he didn't dare to hide anything at the moment, and hurriedly reported what had just happened.

"What? Let the emperor take it? ”

Zhao Yin stumbled under his feet and almost didn't bite his tongue.

The emperor has grown a lot recently, and he has learned to get something for nothing!

Although the money is not much, but it also costs a lot of his own thoughts, and now he is giving half of the goods to this old man in vain, he is still not satisfied, and he secretly snatched his own, and did not even leave a penny for himself.
