Han Jiang asked Han Si to take the post to Yu Duanli.

Han Si also smiled, but he stood still and didn't move: "Shaojun, I'm afraid that Yu Zhuan will not be able to sleep well tonight." ”

Han Jiang shook his head, raised his feet and walked towards the temple.

Sorami was instantly stupid.

Dare to call the name of the Huainan East Road transfer envoy, is there one in Yangzhou City?

Yes.

His Royal Highness King Jia estimated that he would dare.

Another!

Kong Jian Botong knelt down immediately: "Uncle, be merciful." Our brothers eat here. ”

Han Jiang stretched out two fingers: "The first thing is to list it on the black market, and the last salt will lead me to receive it at a 20% discount at the original price." The second thing is to take Uncle Ben to the Scripture Pavilion. ”

"Yes, yes." Sora saw that there was a little opposition.

Why did Han Jiang enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, first, to see if there were any special books. The second is to feel the atmosphere of this pavilion.

The sweeping monk is a legend.

Standing in the Scripture Pavilion, Han Si went to look through any valuable books.

Han Jiang asked: "Back then, why did the monks here escape in one night?" ”

Qian Kuan replied: "Back then, 500 people of the Jin army were killed, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses in front of the emperor did not dare to fight, so they all fled south. The frightened official family is no longer a man. Even the 100,000 people in front of the emperor fled, and the official family didn't even wear clothes, so they fled directly to the south. It's okay for bald donkeys to collect money, and that's how their backbone is. ”

Han Jiang only saw the Jin army going south in the history books, but he never expected that there were only 500 people.

Han Jiang asked, "Really, only five hundred?" ”

Qian Kuan nodded: "The Jin army is 10,000, but only 500 pioneers can be killed under Yangzhou City. But after that battle, Yangzhou slowly recovered after decades. ”

"Pathetic." Han Jiang only said these two words.

Han Si came over to report the good news: "Shaojun, there are a lot of precious orphans here, I'll look for them." ”

"Yes." Han Jiang was not in the mood to stay here, and motioned for Qian to walk to a resting place. On the way, Han Jiang asked Qian Kuan: "What happened to the monk?" ”

Qian Kuan replied: "He used to be a smuggler of salt, once the government tracked him down and hid here, originally a group of bandits gathered here, he killed the bandits and became a monk, but he is not a wicked person, and he is also fair." It's just that the little one doesn't understand, what does the young gentleman want to do here. ”

Han Jiang replied: "What I want is this black market, and this place is not far or close to Yangzhou City, and some business will be done here in the future." It's not impossible to choose another place, but it's not as good as this one. So, I said to buy it. But if Kongjian doesn't want to sell it, forget it, since he is not a wicked person, let's not force him to buy. ”

"Yes, everything is according to the young king's orders."

Let's talk about the Hirayama Hall.

Han Jiang's eight-fold purchase of the last salt banknote caused some shocks.

There were not only Song merchants who traded salt banknotes in the imperial court here, but also gold merchants, Japanese merchants, Goryeo merchants, Western Xia merchants, and even two blue hat merchants.

Why do the Japanese merchants still need salt?

Despite the fact that Wajima is surrounded by the sea on all sides, due to its climate and topography, their salt production is far from enough.

In the official trade list of the Song Dynasty, the column of agricultural and sideline products includes: tea, sugar, wine, rice, salt, medicinal herbs, etc.

In the salt industry in Goryeo, seawater was transported to the workshop, and the salt was extracted by frying the salt.

For Goryeo, this required a lot of wood consumption, and it was far less cost-effective than finding a way to buy salt from the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these people bought salt here, but they smuggled it to Goryeo, Wa, and Jinguo. At least two of the Blue Hat Traders had this idea, except that they were responsible for buying and reselling to other smugglers.

Da Song's side is to give salt when he sees it, no matter who it is.

Seeing that someone was hanging a 20% discount to buy the last salt banknote, the businessmen present all smiled, and no one took it to heart.

Right now, there is no such price.

The current price is the original price plus 20%.

The merchants of Western Xia have increased the price to 30%, because the war on the grassland is continuous, and a large amount of salt is needed, so the price of salt banknotes will definitely rise.

At this time, someone suddenly discovered that the listing was 80% off, and someone sold it.

Who sold it, can't find out.

No one knows who bought it.

Since it is a black market transaction, it means that customers will not meet face-to-face.

Someone said at this time: "In the past two days, there has been a rumor that it is said that Cheng Tian Li, the water supervisor of Jinguodu, handed over a notebook, saying that he wanted to dig up the big river to prevent the disaster in Zhongdu. ”

A Jin merchant turned his head sharply.

Someone asked, "Why, you know?" ”

"It seems to be true, there is indeed this script."

Someone came over to inquire about it right away.

The merchants of the Jin Kingdom did not know the details, but they explained the situation at that time very clearly. Because this happened only two days before he left Jinzhongdu, the market had already spread the word.

Some people don't understand, so they ask: "What will happen if the river is dug up?" ”

"What will happen?"

At that moment, some people were anxious: "Don't you know that when Du Chong, the traitor, dug up the river, do you know how many people were homeless and how many people were eaten." ”

The person who spoke gave a salute to the merchant of the Jin Kingdom: "This brother, do you know where you are going to dig it up?" ”

"Well, I heard that this is two villages on the south bank, just a few dozen miles north of Sizhou, and a friend of mine was preparing to transfer the shop in Sizhou at that time."

It's true.

How terrible it is for the Yellow River to burst.

Flooding is a huge shadow in everyone's heart.

At this point, another deal was successful.

It's no longer a two-fold deal.

The 10,000 salt bill was pressed to a seven-fold sale.

At this time, someone put out the price of the salt banknote at a six-and-a-half discount.

No, it's going to pay badly.

Most businessmen are unwilling to sell the salt banknotes in their hands at such a low price, only a small number of businessmen have begun to follow suit, and Han Jiang is also constantly lowering the price, six off four, six off three, and even six off two hundred and fifty with a decimal point.

Heling, who was dressed in men's clothes, found Han Jiang.

"Little official, how much are you going to smash the price of salt bills in the end?"

Han Jiang thought for a moment: "First smashed to about four eight, the ideal price in my heart is four to one." Then there will definitely be people who will check the news first, and I believe that in half a month at most, they will know that the water supervisor's proposal has been completely rejected. Then I will release a second message, and then find a way to double the salt bill, or even higher. ”

Heling asked, "And then?" ”

"Then, all the salt bills in our hands will be thrown away, and not a single one will be left."

Heling was puzzled: "Little official, Lizhou Road needs salt, and it can also be trafficked to Western Xia." I need salt. ”

Han Jiang asked, "How much?" ”

"At least 300,000 quintals."

"I'll give you 500,000 quintals, and I've got salt, and a huge amount of salt. Besides, there is an unlimited amount of grain, and this summer the river will burst its embankment, and tens of millions of people will be affected by the disaster. I can't stop this, but I can take in countless refugees. If there is no place to store the grain, give it to me, and I will store it for you, and I have a warehouse. ”
