Chapter 63: Bargging
Speaking of which, it's nothing that these salt dealers are so frightened, although these people here are still a figure on the salt road, but after all, it is a private business, and it can't be brought to the table.
Wang Zheng pinched the salt road, holding those fierce salt dices in his hands, or the third-in-command of Wendeng Ying, Zhentai Wu Weizhong was facing him, the salt poles present were not qualified enough, and they did not have the courage to deserve Wang Zheng's salute.
Seeing that Wang Zheng didn't mean to be angry with himself, Qian Jingui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since Wang Zheng had arrived, there should be a result for this, and he immediately urged the guys to serve wine and food.
Jiaodong is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the guys naturally have a lot of seafood on it, and everyone looks at the delicious delicacies on the table and feels that their stomachs are rumbling, but at this time, no one moves the chopsticks, and they all look at Wang Zheng worriedly.
For the vast majority of people, Wang Zheng's name is very famous, but this is indeed the first time to really see Wang Zheng, the new inspection methods have been tasted by everyone in recent months, who knows what Wang Zheng has in mind this time.
The salt poles present had already made the worst thoughts in their hearts, no matter what Wang Zheng said, they had to listen, because they really couldn't afford to be guilty, not to mention how hard Wang Zheng's fists were, only to say that the people standing behind them, the salt dealers also felt that there was really no way.
Today, Wang Zheng's involvement in this kind of entry and exit is also really calming the salt poles present, and many people just remembered.
Wang Zheng is not only thoughtful, he is a hard fist that does not leak, and even everyone's money bags are tightly clutched by him, whether they are bulging or deflated is also a matter of Wang Zheng's words.
Wang Zheng put his hand in the air and pressed it down, glanced at Liu Bei, who was speechless, and raised his glass twice, both of which were clean.
"Sit down, there are a lot of distinguished guests today, talk about something slowly, don't worry about the salt and the officers and soldiers outside, since my Wang Zheng is already here, no one will come to check."
According to the rules of the banquet, the Lord must first toast two glasses, Wang Zheng made this kind of move at this time has an anti-guest meaning, and many salt sellers dare not say more.
One is that I don't dare, in other words, since Liu Bei didn't speak for everyone, then we don't need to quarrel with Wang, let's take one step at a time.
Since Wang Zhengdu has spoken, there is no need for the salt dealers to hide it, they all raise their wine glasses and report to their homes as usual.
"I've seen Lord Wang, the little one is from Laiyang, and I'm here to ask about Chishan Salt."
"In the lower mountains!"
"I'm from Jinghai!"
"We're from Hai Duong, and we're doing some small business."
Someone kept raising their glasses and getting up, and they began to gossip, some of them were from the county seat, and some were from the small place under the guard, and when everyone finished speaking, they all looked at the other side as if they were watching a play, Liu Bei and the big shopkeeper of Chishan Town had not yet spoken.
The big shopkeeper of Chishan Town was already thinking about how to get out after hearing that Yan Ding came in, Yan Ding is not terrible, but once the arrogant and unreasonable Yan Ding is supported by someone, it will be difficult to do.
It seemed that there was some goodwill, and the big shopkeeper of Chishan Town couldn't help but get up and said with a smile:
"Lord Wang, don't come unharmed, this gold is our Chishan every time... I hope to take care of it in the future. ”
"This is natural, for the poles who cooperate, my inspection department is also regarded as their own brothers, and the shopkeeper is seated."
Liu Bei also got up, rarely did not please Wang Zheng with others, arched his hand, and said expressionlessly:
"Liu still has important matters to deal with on Yangma Island, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will leave."
After speaking, he walked downstairs without looking back, and the two Yanding on the first floor immediately stopped at the door when they saw this, and looked at Liu Bei coldly.
Seeing the salt on the first floor and the officers and soldiers outside, Liu Bei was secretly surprised in his heart, and he also knew that he couldn't break in, so he looked upstairs.
Wang Zheng smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Since the Liu Dong family has a big deal to deal with, this little Ninghai naturally can't be kept, Shao Yong, let him go." ”
Shao Yong was a little incomprehensible when he heard this, but he still said yes respectfully, followed by glaring at Liu Bei, and waved his hand:
"Let go!"
Liu Bei went out without saying a word, and even glanced upstairs proudly, Wang Zheng's hand holding the wine glass tightened, and it didn't take long for him to become calm again, and said with a smile:
"Since Liu Dongjia has already expressed his position, everyone can also choose where to go in the future."
As soon as he said this, the second floor immediately quieted down again, and it didn't take long for him to suddenly make a fuss, but no matter how noisy it was, no one followed Liu Bei downstairs, and the big shopkeeper of Chishan Town shook his head with a wry smile.
"Okay, since that's the case, then everyone is their own salt pole, let's talk about one thing first, from today onwards, the officialdom of my inspection department will issue Chishan salt, the price, it will be set to one or two or eight dollars of silver, how about it?"
After speaking, Wang Zheng's sharp eyes suddenly looked at the big shopkeeper of Chishan Town.
"What Lord Wang said is..."
What else can I do, I can only follow the king's struggle, and the big shopkeeper of Chishan Town doesn't dare to do anything no matter how difficult it is.
But the rest of the salt poles are different, and they are all talking about it on the side.
At present, Chishan salt has reached one or two or five dollars, and the sale of private salt is also risky, in addition to these three dollars, there are also risk losses and transportation costs, which come and go, and the silver earned is too little, and in some remote places, the cost of manpower and animal transportation is large, and even the loss of money.
Although this is the case, no one dares to speak up when they think of arguing with the king.
Wang Zheng just sat at the head and looked around with a smile, and sure enough, a salt seller suddenly slapped the table and got up, but when he got up, his face turned pale and he couldn't say a word.
The salt dealer who got up called the torture beard has always been a big grinning man.
When Fang Xing Hu got up to report to his home, Wang Zheng smiled politely at him, and Xing Hu was a little fluttery at that time, feeling that he was close to Wang Zheng, and at this time he was slightly excited by a few people on his side, and his brain stood up as soon as his brain was hot.
When he got up, all the salt dealers around him looked at him, and suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat, full of regret, and wanted to sit back immediately, but Wang Zheng's eyes had already come, so he could only bite the bullet.
The torture beard first pretended to give a salute, and then said tremblingly:
"The adults also know that I am from Jinshanzuo, and our land is too far away from the salt farms of adults, whether it is using people or mules and horses, the transportation is too difficult, and at most it will be sold for one or two or seven dollars of silver, this is not my family is selling, Liu Dong's side is also bargaining, he has a salt farm, you see, can you..."
