Changlu Salt Farm is also the largest salt producing area in China in later generations, and is one of the three major salt farms, accounting for a quarter of the country's annual salt production. The status of this era is self-evident, and there is no doubt that everyone wants the salt field of Changlu Salt Field, so when I heard that I was going to shoot Changlu Salt Field, all my spirit was concentrated.

The starting price of 30,000 yuan still did not scare these people, and soon someone made a bid, and the price soared rapidly.

Zhu Houzhao swept his eyes over and found that this time he shouted the most hated businessmen in the north, including businessmen in Shandong, and Zhu Houzhao even suspected that there was the support of some big Shandong households. You must know that this place in Shandong, not to mention anything else, is just a Confucian family, this is amazing, the wealth accumulated by their family, taking it out can scare many people.

They who are closest to the Changlu Salt Farm naturally want to envelop the Changlu Salt Farm in their own hands, and there are people everywhere who compete with them.

Jin merchants and Zhejiang merchants also participated in the war, and even Fujian merchants and Hui merchants also participated in the war, and the prices went all the way up, but Zhu Houzhao was thinking about transportation. You must know that Changlu is located in the Bohai Bay, which is a natural transportation port in later generations, and if the salt there is transported by sea, it will be much more convenient to transport, but this idea can only be an idea for the time being.

Because Zhu Houzhao has no money to build ships for the time being, and he has no money to play the navy, it is too expensive, Zhu Houzhao is afraid that he will burn down, and the navy will not be built.

When Qian Guangdou dropped the hammer, the atmosphere of the scene was suddenly relaxed, and Zhu Houzhao was also relieved in his heart, this piece of salt field with a monthly output of six stones of salt was finally auctioned at a price of 57,000 taels, which was beyond the expectations of many people. You must know that the No. 1 salt farm in Guangdong Salt Farm produces four stones of salt per month, and the auction price is only 32,000 yuan, according to the normal situation, this piece of Jiazi No. 1 salt field in Changlu should be sold within 45,000 taels.

As a result, the price soared to 57,000 taels at once, which caused the salt merchants to be surprised, and at the same time, there was a trace of gunpowder on the scene for the first time.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes swept over the salt merchants present, obviously someone here made a move, it was those smugglers, Zhu Houzhao even saw a few smugglers on the side of the Fujian merchants holding up their cards.

Although the No. 1 salt field of the Changlu Salt Farm was still photographed by a person in Shandong, the atmosphere at the scene was obviously wrong. At this time, the second salt field of Changlu Salt Farm also began to be filmed, and soon someone held up a sign, and Zhu Houzhao was sitting in place and lively, he believed that everyone would be surprised by this place today.

Sure enough, the Changlu Salt Farm did not disappoint Zhu Houzhao, and the bidding behind it has become more and more intense, with an average price of more than 60,000 taels for twenty-three salt farms.

The entire Changlu Salt Farm sold a total of nearly 1.5 million taels, plus the previous Guangdong Salt Farm, which completely broke 2 million this time, which is a surprising number. In the case that the two Huai salt fields have not been filmed, this has been shot for more than two million taels, and at halftime, Zhu Houzhao slipped outside again.

It's not because the atmosphere in the room is too depressing, but Zhu Houzhao really can't stand it, and he is afraid that he will jump up excitedly.

"Your Highness, the emperor is here!" Liu Jin saw Zhu Houzhao coming out of it, and hurriedly came up quietly, and whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear.

Listening to Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, Daddy is here? Don't dare to have the slightest delay, Zhu Houzhao, under the guidance of Liu Jin, walked quickly to the front, and saw that his father was dressed as a rich man, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand, and he really looked like a middle-aged handsome uncle, followed by Yang Peng with a serious face behind him.

Obviously, the factory owner of the East Factory is here to protect his father's safety, of course, because it is the first relationship, this one is also a little nervous.

"Why did my father come out?" Zhu Houzhao said with concern in his tone: "There are mixed fish and dragons here, and the slightest carelessness will affect the safety of my father, and my father is really not suitable to come to this kind of place, so my son asks my father to return to the palace." ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at his son, his face suddenly showed a helpless expression, he raised his hand and knocked Zhu Houzhao with the folding fan in his hand: "Zhuzi, you can come out, I, cough cough, why can't I come out?" I heard that there was a lot of excitement here, so I came over to check it out! He waved his hand and said, "It seems to be very lively inside, let's talk about it, what kind of lively method it is." ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at his father helplessly, and opened his mouth to explain the entire auction process, of course, focusing on how much money was auctioned.

Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief for a while: "This is more than two million taels?" ”

In Zhu Houzhao's view, the more than 2 million taels is just like that, but in Zhu Youzhang's opinion, this is not the case at all, after all, the salt class of the imperial court is more than 3 million taels a year, and it is more than 2 million taels after shooting two salt farms, how rich do these businessmen have to be? When Zhu Youzhu heard more than two million taels, how could he not be excited.

"Father, this is five years." Zhu Houzhao said helplessly, Dad, the emperor, is really too aggrieved, but two million taels, look at Daddy's pleasure.

Zhu Youzhu glared at his son, and didn't know how to refute his son, so he had to scold: "Call me Dad!" After speaking, he closed the folding fan in his hand with a brush: "Okay, take me in to have a look, I want to see how much I can shoot." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and directly asked Liu Jin and them to arrange it, this is naturally no problem, and he didn't say that Zhu Youzhu was here, only that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming.

The father and son soon came to the room arranged by the Salt and Iron Division, outside was the auction hall, Qi You of the Salt and Iron Division also came at this time, originally thought that only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, but when he came to see Zhu Youzhang, Qi Youle almost didn't jump up, what is this? This is your chance! This auction is a concentrated display of his political achievements.

What is the way to show merit compared with what the emperor saw with his own eyes, Qi You was very sure in his heart, since he sat in the seat of the Salt and Iron Division, Qi You's eyes had already been aimed at the position of the secretary of the household department, this time about extending the auction, Qi You had put a lot of effort into it. Not to mention anything else, Tong Zhong is so old, how many years can he work?

When he went down, Qi You felt that with the merits of the Salt and Iron Division, it was very likely that he would be able to take the position of the head of the household department.

Now that the emperor is here, his display of his merits this time is really too appropriate, how can Qi You not be happy and excited? The whole person is full of life.
