Supervising the yamen leaflet to sell salt leads, so that ordinary salt shop shopkeepers and ordinary people found the feeling of being big businessmen, and they could go to the salt field to extract cheap salt with salt leads, and the refined salt that was originally fifty or sixty wen yuan a catty suddenly became thirteen wen a catty, in which the government also subsidized taxes, so even those people who did not have silver in hand also ran to tell each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Many families began to raise their own funds, discussing going together to buy one or two salts back, and there may be no shortage of salt at home in the next few years.

There was a lot of buzz in the city.

Although there are officers and soldiers to maintain order, the enthusiasm of the people is too high, the door frame is about to be broken, and the gate of the official post is full of feet inside and outside.

"Get out of the way, I'm here to buy salt, I've got silver."

"You have the silver, but I don't? Go away and get in line! ”

…… Tang Yin wanted to enter through the main entrance, but he found that the gate of the temporary governor's yamen was crowded, and he couldn't squeeze in at all, so he could only go through the side door where people enter and exit on weekdays.

When they made a detour to the main hall, only Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi and others were selling salt, and there was no shadow of Shen Xi, Tang Yin turned around, and finally found Shen Xi in the back hall, at this time Shen Xi was holding a book, looking at it with interest.

Tang Yin saluted: "Shen Zhongcheng is waking up?" ”

Shen Xi glanced up at Tang Yin, continued to lower his head to read, and said casually: "It's okay to sleep at noon, I can't sleep at night if I sleep too much, it's really difficult to stay up for a long night...... Why doesn't Brother Bohu rest more? ”

Tang Yin was angry when he heard this, you have a group of wives and concubines, and you are afraid that you will not be able to sleep for a long time at night, so wouldn't my lonely old bachelor be even worse?

Tang Yin said: "I just walked through the main gate in Xia, and now it is very lively, Zhongcheng wants to sell salt to ordinary people, which is a move to benefit the people, but if the people can't get salt from the salt field, won't it harm them?" In the end, they may spread all their grudges to the governor's yamen, how will Shen Zhongcheng end? ”

Shen Xi raised his head and looked at Tang Yin, as if to say, you are compassionate. Shen Xi said: "Brother Bohu, is this going to be the master for the people?" ”

Tang Yin was actually just angry, but Shen Xi would think of such a good idea.

Let the people flock to buy salt, the plan of the political envoy and the inspection envoy will fail, ten households buy a salt, that is to say, when they go to the salt field to pick up salt, there may be a few young people who go with the salt to bring salt, then in the next two days, sell thousands of salt leads, there will be tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people who go to the salt field to pick up salt.

The closest to Guangzhou is the Xingshengchang Salt Farm in Panyu County, how can it withstand the siege of tens of thousands of people?

If Xingshengchang refuses to release salt, it is farther away from the Jingkang field, Dongguan field, Guide field, Huangtian field and other salt fields in Dongguan County and Dongguan Wei.

The current situation is that if the salt works do not release salt, the people will make trouble; If the salt is released, the salt merchants will find that the political envoys, the Yamen of the prefecture and the county and the salt works are paper tigers, and they will enthusiastically buy salt in large quantities, and the salt factories will not be able to cover the salt.

Tang Yin said angrily: "No matter what, Shen Zhongcheng can't take advantage of the common people!" ”

Shen Xi put the book down with a smile and said, "Brother Bohu seems to have forgotten one of the notices. ”

"Which one?"

Tang Yin thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was one of them that turned private salt into official salt, "I was about to say that this private salt has always been illegal, but you want to turn private salt into official salt, I'm afraid you will be impeached!" ”

Shen Xi looked up at him and asked puzzledly, "Who will impeach me, you?" Previously, a large number of official salt smuggled by the Guangdong Salt Division, but now there is a shortage of salt in the coastal salt fields of Guangdong, and this official is just taking advantage of the situation...... How can the court blame the good people? ”

Tang Yin thought about it, this trick is vicious!

The seizure of the official salt smuggled by the Guangdong Salt Section was carried out in full view of the people, and the evidence was conclusive, and even the three divisions and yamen did not refute it, and the matter has been played truthfully.

At that time, the third division found an excuse for the salt farm, which was that the salt section raised the division to print the salt quotation without permission and forced the salt factory to release salt. The salt farm is responsible, but attributing all the blame to the salt section lifting department is purely a helpless move by a strong man to break his wrist.

Shen Xi made a fuss about this matter, the salt section was arrested for selling a large number of official salt, and the salt farm refused to release salt, so I said that the salt farm was attracted by counterfeit salt to take away a large number of official salt, so there will be a "lack of salt"!

I am now turning private salt into official salt, just to solve the problem of local "salt shortage", for the benefit of the people of Liming, but also to obtain a reasonable and legal income for the imperial court.

Otherwise, if the tax revenue cannot be raised, it will not affect the government and government!

Tang Yin secretly thought: "It's interlocking, this is the conspiracy of the Nabu political envoy and the county yamen and the salt field to fight back...... Why didn't I think of that? ”

Shen Xi continued: "Since private salt can be changed into official salt, the people can cook salt by themselves when they have salt introduction. After all, it is clearly stipulated that if there is no salt to boil salt, it will be punished as private salt, but now with salt introduction, what is naturally boiled is regarded as official salt. Taking a step back, even if the people can't boil salt, aren't there a large amount of smuggled salt transported from the salt works in the warehouses outside the city? ”

Picking up the book, Shen Xi continued to read it leisurely.

Tang Yin felt that his head was not enough.

Who said there is no salt? In the salt warehouse seized by the governor Yamen before, there were bags of refined salt, and those were all transported from the salt factory.

Although the amount of salt is not much, it may not be enough to mention it at one time in the hands of those big salt merchants, but this time Shen Xi transferred this salt to ordinary people who only bought 20 catties of salt per household on average.

Twenty catties of salt in the warehouse can be exchanged for a family to go to the salt field to make trouble.

It seems that a pound of salt is a tax to make up two coins of silver, as if the governor of the yamen has lost, but the problem is that the salt used by the governor of the yamen is simply obtained by Shen Xi's empty gloves and white wolf, and Shen Xi is equivalent to "discounting" the salt in the warehouse outside the city, and a pound of salt makes a net profit of thirteen wen.

Tang Yin smiled bitterly: "Shen Zhongcheng, what are you...... You are making the people of the local yamen and salt works have no way to live. ”

Shen Xi said: "Listen to Brother Bohu's meaning, is it to avenge their grievances?" ”

Tang Yin smiled and arched his hand: "I don't have this intention, I just think that Lord Shen's move is very clever, but there are still flaws." But he said, you sell the salt, and you always sell one less one, isn't this a small loss of two dollars in the end? ”

Shen Xi finally "looked at Tang Yin" this time, and said in his heart that you Tang Dacai actually began to calculate small accounts, which is rare.

Selling the salt stored in the warehouse outside the city, it seems that one pound will make a net profit of thirteen Wen, but the amount of salt on hand in Shen Xi is certain, and if he sells one less one, then Shen Xi will have to pay the capital.

Shen Xi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "What Brother Bohu said is not bad, but Brother Bohu ignores a problem, if the people pick up salt from the salt field, the salt will fall into the hands of the salt field, and then the salt field will issue a survey certificate, and the salt field will collect all the salt and then summarize it and hand it over to the imperial court, and the imperial court will allocate money and grain to supplement the expenses of the stove households." But if the people bring salt from the warehouses outside the city, or boil the salt themselves, the salt will only end up in the governor's yamen. ”

Tang Yin had nothing to say now.

Where the people extract the salt, they will lead the salt to whom, and then use the survey to prove the transfer place, but the salt of the people of Guangzhou is not used to sell, it is eaten by themselves, and there is no need to transport it, so those survey certificates are not used.

The salt was sold to the people, and the people took the salt to the salt field to make trouble, and the salt field did not release salt, and the people could take the salt to the warehouse outside the city to pick up the salt, or boil the salt by themselves, and the salt was led around and returned to the hands of the governor's yamen.

Shen Xi is equivalent to making two taels and six dollars for each small introduction of salt, and after the money is in hand, the salt is immediately returned to his own hands, and a salt introduction is sold many times.

It seems that the more Shen Xi sells, the more he loses, but in fact, the more Shen Xi sells, the more he earns, because the tax on each salt quote only needs to be paid once.

Tang Yin asked in astonishment: "Then when the time comes, won't the salt field take the initiative to release salt?" In order to prevent the Governor Yamen and Shen Zhongcheng, you will earn more and more? ”

Shen Xi said: "I can't say the same, the salt in the warehouse outside the city, and the people boiling the salt themselves, is always a small amount, and the most important thing is to sell the salt in large quantities and force the salt field to release salt." The loss sale is only two days, even if there is a small floating loss, it can be regarded as a solution to the current predicament. ”

Tang Yin was amazed, no wonder Shen Xi had to set a time limit, this was to prevent the more the Governor Yamen sold in the case of the salt farm, the more he would lose.

Even within these two days, it is not possible to sell the salt in large quantities to the salt merchants, otherwise it may cause chaos.

But Tang Yin still has something to think about, Shen Xi's idea in front of him looks quite good, it not only cheapens the people, but also makes the political envoy and the county yamen, as well as the salt works anxious, but back to the question itself, how can Shen Xi earn military expenses by selling salt?

Cashing in all the salt in the warehouses outside the city, and then letting the people boil salt to fill the lack of salt is just a drop in the bucket!

Shen Xi didn't say anything, and Tang Yin was embarrassed to ask again, because Tang Yin felt that it was a shame to ask again, since Shen Xi could come up with such a vicious trick to deal with the local government and the salt farm, there was definitely a way to make money.

Tang Yin asked: "Shen Zhongcheng, I don't know what I can do in the next few days?" ”

Shen Xi pointed to the front yard: "Go out and help, after selling the salt for the past two days, the official will have the money to pay Brother Bohu's salary, Brother Bohu shouldn't be too late!" ”

Tang Yin's heart was excited, and finally he had Yu Lu take it, and now he was by Shen Xi's side for two months, wouldn't there be thirty taels that time? The motivation was instantly raised.

After thinking about it a little, Tang Yin couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, Shen Xi first mentioned the matter of sending him a fortune, the purpose was to mobilize his enthusiasm. However, the thirty taels of Yu Lu had a great temptation, which made Tang Yin willing to be used.

"It's unbearable, I know that I am being used, but why don't I even have the courage to resist?"

Tang Yin went to the front hall to help Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi with a hint of sentimentality. Compared with the two rough people, he is much stronger in writing and arithmetic, and with him, the efficiency of selling salt has increased rapidly.

On the afternoon of the first day, the Governor Yamen sold more than 800 small quotations of salt, each of which was cobbled together by an average of five or six households, which means that at least 4,000 people will go to the salt factory to make trouble in the next few days.

As the news spread, Tang Yin believed that more people would come to buy salt in the next day, and how could they sell three or four thousand salt in two days, that is, more than 10,000 people went to pick up salt.

Tang Yin estimated in his heart that the political envoy and the inspection envoy must be crazy when they saw the vast army of salt lifting.

If the salt field does not release salt, it may turn into a civil uprising at any time, which is not something that the local three divisions and yamen can afford.

And Shen Xi doesn't seem to be worried about the possibility of a popular uprising.
