[Ran^文^Library][]. []. The problem of official salt is already a long time old, so it is not troublesome to investigate, and when Wu Zhi read the results of the investigation in detail, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. 【Ran Library (7764)】

The most fundamental reason why official salt cannot compete with the private salt industry is that the business model is different.

The private salt industry adopts the most scientific and efficient business model in this era to operate the salt industry; The official salt is different, although it is also a business, but the internal personnel structure of the official salt is still organized according to the method of the court officials, there are no real positions in the official position, there are no official positions in the position, and there are too many redundant official positions and positions, many positions are not necessary to be set up, just a department that operates the official salt, and in actual operation, more than half of the people are idle people.

But even these idle people are all officials of the imperial court, and if they want to run official salt, they can't avoid these people.

Therefore, the entire department of the government that operates the salt industry is like a labyrinth, and it only takes a simple straight road to go from one end to the other, but it is precisely because the official salt department is full of officials, and if you want to complete this short road, it will be complicated, the bookkeeper is not sold at the front desk, the person who manages the goods is not in the warehouse, but sits in the office, and the person in charge of salt affairs has no real power, and the person with real power cannot touch the instructions above...... In short, it's very messy!

However, everyone in the successive prefects knew about this malaise of official salt, but they all ignored it, not because they didn't want to ignore it, but because they really couldn't manage it, because if they wanted to change the loss of official salt, they had to start from the root, and the root was to change the government system to a commercial system.

But there is a difference between public and private, since the official salt is the government, it has to be in accordance with the system of the government, and the government of the whole Great Song Dynasty is basically this mold, if anyone dares to change it, wouldn't it be against the system of the Great Song Dynasty?

The Great Song Dynasty had already experienced several failed changes before, so even though it was such a small place as a salt business, no one dared to make any changes, so they could only let it survive.

In fact, no matter how selling salt is a profiteering industry after all, even if this industry is not well managed, it will not lose too much, as long as there is no big movement, the government will directly ignore the official salt, anyway, the private salt industry can fully supply the people with salt, and the price of salt has been very stable and reasonable, so it is enough.

This is also the reason why salt merchants like Huang Zhi can become bigger, in fact, now the salt shop of official salt is just for show, and no people have gone to the official salt shop to buy salt.

In this way, the official salt saves the layers of complicated joints, and it can make some money, but even if it makes money, it will still lose money when it is reported to the government in the end, because of that profit, many large and small officials who manage the official salt will naturally take a little from it, and in the end, if it is not enough, they will report the loss, and then the court will subsidize it......

……

"What can the virtuous brother do?" Murong Yanda looked at Wu Zhi curiously, and then he waved his hand again and said, "If you want me to do something to reform the law, then there is no need to say it, it's unrealistic!" ”

"Of course it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Wu Zhi smiled, "How could I not know that it was difficult?" I will never let my eldest brother trouble, my method is very simple! ”

Seeing that Murong Yanda finally raised his interest, Wu Zhi continued: "In the final analysis, Guanyan is not profitable, or because there is a big problem with its business system, which is indeed difficult to shake. However, if you want the official salt to make money again, and you don't change this system, it is not difficult to do it, as long as you bypass this system! ”

"Bypass?" Murong Yanda patted his head and said to Wu Zhi a little anxiously: "I said Brother Xian, don't go around the bend, just tell your eldest brother how to go around?" ”

Wu Zhi nodded, and said seriously: "Bypassing, that is, to draw a circle between the set of rules and regulations inside the official salt and the official institutions, and directly let the people we designate bypass them to buy salt, and then sell salt, you only need to take these two steps." Of course, salt still belongs to official salt, and the profits from selling salt are still handed over to the government treasury. ”

"This will not work, bypass them, they will not sit idly by." Murong Yanda shook his head and said.

"Big brother, listen to me."

Wu Zhi knew what Murong Yanda was worried about, and bypassing those people, they had no benefit, so they were naturally unwilling.

"Although we have bypassed them, but just to simplify the way of operation, we have bypassed them in terms of operation, and we still make records of some cashier's account books and so on, and hand them over to manage and report......" After a pause, Wu Zhi smiled contemptuously: "To put it bluntly, the reason why they hold on to salt one by one is not for silver?" Before we bypassed them, we promised them that we would pay them twice as much oil and water as before, and that their income would be doubled, and they would be idle, and the official position would still be the same as the official position, and besides, the official salt would definitely be on par with the people's salt at that time, and they would earn more, and they would have merit and profit, so naturally they would not obstruct ......."

“…… This trick is called borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul! ”

In the end, Wu Zhi's tone was full of confidence, once this method of borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul was applied to the redundant official salt system, then it would be equivalent to opening the Suez Canal between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, and the oil tanker would no longer have to bypass the distant Cape of Good Hope, saving too many useless and lengthy journeys.

As long as the operating efficiency of official salt is improved, then it will soon be on par with Huang Zhi's price of private salt, or even lower, and when the salt is sold more, the profit will naturally be high. Wu Zhi had roughly calculated with Jiang Jing before, as long as the official salt could occupy one-third of the market share, then after giving some profits to the moths, it would also be a considerable income, and the official salt made money, not only the moths had merit, but it was also a credit for Murong Yanda that could improve his political performance.

The system is still the same system, it hasn't changed, but the money has also been made, so why don't everyone do it? Wu Zhi's original intention was to flow all the money earned by the official salt into Murong Yanda's pocket, and it would be up to Murong Yanda to see if Murong Yanda dared to swallow it when the time came.

"Good! What a resurrection of a corpse! High! It's really high! ”

After Murong Yanda listened to Wu Zhi's words, he thought about it for a while, and then applauded Wu Zhi, this move is indeed clever, and there will basically be no resistance to implementation, let alone any trouble.

"It's just...... The gang of people in Guanyan are 'corpses', who are the 'souls'? This kind of work for the government in vain, and it is also a matter of making wedding dresses for others...... Who would want to do it? Wu Zhi, you don't want to do it, do you? There's nothing to be made here, and your family's big business shouldn't look down on this little profit, right? ”

Murong Yanda's worries are not unreasonable, it is not difficult to send people to bypass the gang of official salt, the key is who to send. If a businessman like Wu Zhi is allowed to do it, there is no benefit, because the income of the official salt is handed over to the government treasury, and the original gang of people are already very greedy, and they are in charge of the accounts, and the people who help the official salt business are even difficult to guarantee the basic salary, in this case, I am afraid that no businessman is willing to contribute manpower to help the official salt business.

After all, in this era, people who know how to operate are all hot talents, and who has nothing to do in this troubled water.

"I'm out!" Wu Zhi said without hesitation, "Since I came up with this idea for my eldest brother, then I am naturally willing to send someone to help my eldest brother run the official salt!" After speaking, Wu Zhi also patted Murong Yanda's shoulder and sneered: "Who made you my eldest brother!" ”

After Murong Yanda heard Wu Zhi's words, he immediately blushed with emotion, but when he looked at the cunning look in Wu Zhi's eyes again, Murong Yanda suddenly came to his senses.

"Okay, you're a martial artist! I'm afraid you're not helping your eldest brother and me, but preparing for dealing with Huang Zhi, right? ”

Wu Zhi didn't intend to hide it from Murong Yanda at all, he took a sip of tea lightly and said, "It's to help the eldest brother build his political achievements, and it's also to deal with Huang Zhi!" ”

Yes, the reason why Wu Zhi is so active in making wedding dresses for others is mainly to deal with Huang Zhi.

The newspaper is currently in full swing tracking Huang Zhi's usury, once Wu Zhi finally releases evidence to expose Huang Zhi, then Huang Zhi will have a bad reputation at most, even if the people boycott him, but the Qingzhou salt number is their family, and the people can't help but eat salt, right?

The amount of official salt is small and the price is high, so the people will not buy it.

In this way, what is the use of Wu Zhifei fanning the flames so vigorously to arouse the hatred of the people?

Therefore, after learning about Huang Zhi's black spot of usury, Wu Zhi was already thinking about how to use this to deal a heavy blow to Huang Zhi.

If you want to hit Huang Zhi's bones, then you have to let his salt industry be impacted, but salt is a necessity, and it is monopolized by Huang Zhi, how to make his salt industry impacted? That is naturally to vigorously support the official salt that has declined!

Although Qingzhou official salt is half dead, it is a government agency after all, not only Qingzhou City, but also the boundaries under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, including Jingdong East Road, have branches of official salt. As long as the official salt is supported, then the blow to Huang Zhi will be immediate, and the official salt will seize one percent of the market share, then Huang Zhi's industry will shrink by one percent, seize three percent of the market share, and Huang Zhi's industry will shrink by three percent, seize half of the market share, and Huang Zhi's industry will shrink by half!

This is how the monopoly industry comes and goes quickly.

Originally, even if Guanyan had perfect business methods, it would be even more difficult to seize the market share that Huang Zhi had already occupied, but Wu Zhi now has a newspaper and has used usury to slowly dig a deep pit for Huang Zhi......

After a while, Wu Zhi sent capable people to take over the official salt, and after running in and getting acquainted with it, it was when the newspaper instigated to expose Huang Zhicai as the mastermind behind the loan shark!

Once Huang Zhi loses the hearts of the people, it is when the official salt rises rapidly, the quality and price of the official salt are the same as Huang Zhi's, and it will be easy to snatch half of the market share at that time.

cut off half of Huang Zhi's wealth in one fell swoop, this blow is not big, it can't be said to be ruthless!
