Salt is something that people can't live without every day.

Therefore, don't look at salt as ordinary, but as long as there is a slight price fluctuation, it will affect the stability of society.

For example, in today's situation, as soon as I heard that the price of salt had risen, the people of Chang'an City rushed over to buy it, this is still a rich person, if there is no money, I am afraid that I will not be able to afford to eat salt in the future.

But if you don't eat salt, people's bodies will be very weak, how to improve the physique of the people of Datang?

Qin Tian didn't dare to ignore such a thing.

When he hurriedly came to the household department, Tang Jian was also about to come out in a hurry, the two of them met, Tang Jian hurriedly said, "Master Hou, I was about to look for you." ”

Qin Tiandao: "Lord Tang, but is it because of the increase in salt prices?" ”

Tang Jian nodded: "I have sent someone to investigate, this year's salt production is indeed not as high as last year, but it is not much lower, even if the price increases, it will not be too obvious, but now the price in the world has been higher than expected, at the same time, we also found that some people deliberately stocked up the goods and raised the price of salt, I was about to discuss with Hou Ye to deal with it." ”

The reduction in salt production is just an introduction, and the real reason is that some people are still stockpiling goods.

"Lord Tang, don't I have a flat market in Datang, and the price should be assessed once a month, how can the price increase happen?"

Tang Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou, it is evaluated once a month, it is not that there is no evaluation now, and everything is decided by the market, it is difficult for someone to hoard salt and not sell it, and not to increase the price." ”

In any dynasty, there are special agencies for price control, and these institutions will evaluate the prices in the market every month, and the prices that come out later are called market level.

The price in the market can be high or low, but it should not deviate too far from the market level.

There is a market level, and the price of salt should not deviate too much, but unfortunately, the market level is only released once a month, and when the city is level, those salt merchants have already taken advantage of this month's time to make all the money they should make.

Now, they are raising prices, and you can't help them.

The prices of Datang still follow the economic laws of the market.

"Master Hou, what should we do now?" Tang Jian asked, but added: "I think it is imperative to calm down the price as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to the people of Datang if it continues to rise." ”

The price of salt continues to rise, which may indeed cause instability in Chang'an, Qin Tian frowned, and after thinking about it, he said: "Lord Tang, you take people to the street to issue notices, let the people know that this year's salt production has not decreased, so that they don't have to rush to stock up on salt for the winter, and then there is, all salt merchants, talk to them, let them reduce the price." ”

As long as the salt merchant is willing to reduce the price, this matter will be much easier, after Tang Jian heard it, he hesitated, the imperial court rarely orders people to reduce the price in this form, in case someone takes this impeachment, it will be a bit bad.

"Master Hou, do you really want to negotiate with those salt merchants?"

"Yes, you come to them, Ben Hou will tell them personally."

Seeing that Qin Tian was going to do this by himself, Tang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, before dusk today, they will definitely appear at the Yamen of the Household Department." ”

"No, invite them to the Four Seas, and Benhou will invite them to dinner."

"Invite them to dinner?" Tang Jian was completely confused, it was already very good not to beat them, and he even invited them to dinner, I really didn't understand.

----It's a gorgeous dividing line---

The notice of the imperial court spread in Chang'an City, and before dusk, in a box in Sihaiju, several major salt merchants in Chang'an City had already come.

Qin Tian invited, and they didn't dare not come.

These salt merchants looked at each other, and they knew very well that Qin Tian's purpose in inviting them here was nothing more than the price of salt.

However, they didn't think that Qin Tian could change anything.

A few people sat and waited, and after about half a pillar of incense, Qin Tiancai walked in from outside.

"Master Hou!"

The group of people stood up and saluted, and Qin Tian waved his hand: "Sit down." ”

Everyone sat down, a little restrained, although all the good wine and food were served, but not a few people were happy.

"Master Hou invited us here, I don't know why?" The person who spoke was fat, but his eyes were surprisingly small, as if he were shooting out at any moment.

He was the largest salt merchant in Chang'an City, Yang Wu.

Qin Tian glanced at Yang Wu and said, "Naturally, for the sake of salt prices, the price increase of salt is very unfavorable to the stability of the imperial court, this year's salt production is not low, why do you want to deliberately increase the price?" ”

After saying this, Yang Wu and the others did not feel afraid.

"Master Hou, this year's salt production has indeed declined, and we are all just salt merchants, our salt is bought from other people, and the price they give us is not low, we can only sell it like this, otherwise we will lose money."

"Yes, Master Hou, we also have to support our families, we can't just starve to death, can we?"

"Hou Ye is also in business, you should know this law in the market, the purchase price is high, we will naturally sell high, otherwise if you don't make money, there will be no one to do business, so where do the people of Chang'an City eat salt?"

"Master Hou, we are also very helpless, if others sell us at a low price, we will naturally increase the price here......"

Everyone said everything they wanted, but they were obviously crying miserably, Qin Tian pouted when he heard it, he knew that the price of salt outside had not changed, but he was afraid that it was just a few of them who discussed it, and deliberately stockpiled the goods and raised the price of salt.

But now, they won't admit it.

"So, how many of you refuse to lower the price of salt?"

"Master Hou, there is no way to descend, we won't be able to live if we descend."

Qin Tian nodded: "Since this is the case, then Ben Hou has nothing to say to you, you can go." ”

Everyone was stunned, Qin Tian didn't threaten them, just let them go, they should have been very happy, but suddenly they all hesitated.

With their understanding of Qin Tian, he shouldn't be such a person, right?

Giving up so easily, it's not Qin Tian's style at all?

Everyone looked at each other and hesitated, but in the end they left one after another, Qin Tian did not force them to reduce the price, which was a good thing for them, if they stayed again, in case Qin Tian changed his mind, I am afraid their life would be difficult.

While the money is good now, it is only right to make money quickly.

A group of people left, and the private room of Sihaiju fell silent, Qin Tian looked at the table of food, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Originally, if these people listened to persuasion and lowered the price, Qin Tian would give them a way to live, but they didn't want this way to live, so it was no wonder that he Qin Tian.

Tomorrow morning, everything will be decided.
