Being exposed to the lie in person, the people of the Great Song Dynasty would feel ashamed or annoyed, but they didn't hide the black wood and didn't have any emotions at all, he smiled faintly, "Lord Sima, do you do business!" It has to be mutually beneficial. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Really?"

Guangguang sneered, "Take the salt you have everywhere in exchange for grain, silk, porcelain, and tea in the Great Song Dynasty, what are you not satisfied with?" Is there something I gave you that is of the same inferior quality? Can there be a slight increase in prices? ”

As a student trained by Wang Ning'an, Sima Guang is still very sober, if the official trade is shoddy as in the past, and no one is stupid, if you want to earn more, it will only make smuggling more rampant, and in the end, the gains still outweigh the losses.

Therefore, whether it is trade with Daliao or Khitan, there is no problem with commodities, and if you want to make money, start from somewhere else.

This alone can be justified!

Wuzang Kuromu said calmly: "Lord Sima, you are indeed trustworthy, and it is different from the past. But I heard that the price of salt in your country has exceeded 30 wen and is still soaring, and our salt should at least be the same as the market price in your country, what do you think? ”

Guangguang looked up and down to see if he didn't hide the black wood, and suddenly laughed.

"Without a Tibetan envoy, what else do you have in your country besides green salt? In China, can a pound of green salt be sold for 5 yuan? Can you live without food and gnaw on green salt? If you can't, you have to accept the price of Da Song, there is no negotiation! ”

Wuzang was also angry, and he was also not to be outdone: "I hope that in a few days, Master Sima can still say this!" ”

……

After sending away the black wood, Sima Guang's back was covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly went to Wang Ningan to discuss countermeasures.

The situation in Western Xia is very clear, they already know about the salt crisis in the Great Song Dynasty, and they want to take the opportunity to knock on it! If they accepted, the Tanguts would only open their mouths and go on endlessly.

Moreover, when it comes to the purchase price of salt, there is no way to continue to stabilize the price of salt, let alone grasp the pricing power of salt in the northwest, let alone eradicate the huge salt merchant power in the northwest......

"It's right not to compromise with Western Xia, but don't be so intense, stay a line, and see each other in the future." Wang Ningan smiled and said: "The Cui family has played a good card again!" ”

The teacher's cloud was light and light, and the light was also vibrating, "Sir, do you mean that the line of Xixia can't be broken yet?" ”

"It's not that we can't break it, it's that we make others think that we don't dare to break it...... Do you understand? ”

"Understood, what does Sir mean to show weakness?"

"Hmm!"

Wang Ningan stood up from his seat, said with his hands behind his back: "I really can't imagine that the Cui family can actually contact Xixia, it can be seen that they have hands and eyes to the sky, and their strength is not bad!" ”

"Sir, since they colluded with Western Xia, can the imperial court send troops and wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

"It's that simple!"

Wang Ningan smiled helplessly, "I have asked people to investigate, and it turns out that except for a guy named Cui Xifeng, the core members of the Cui family, one does not know, not only does not know the residence, but also does not know the name, the Cui family is like a ghost, everywhere, and no one can find them, do you think it's strange?" ”

Guangguang gasped, "Sir, I heard that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Cui family was killed by Huang Chao very badly, and since then, they have changed their style and become extremely low-key. The dragon sees the head but does not see the end. ”

In the Han and Tang dynasties, they had a huge land, prosperous, and a good family education, if they wanted to govern a good place, they had to rely on the children of the family, gradually, they were intertwined, forming a dense net, as strong as Li Shimin, in the face of these people, it was also in vain.

Only the alien Wu Zetian dared to let go of the family, fighting back and forth, and it could only be said that both sides were defeated.

This is the way of existence of the Han and Tang families, and now the situation has changed.

The Cui family survived, escaped the chaos of five generations, and experienced a hundred years of peace, and their way of existence is different from the past.

On the bright side, Wang Ningan couldn't find the Cui family's field or the Cui family's property, of course, it was not that there was nothing, but they cleverly hid it.

Wang Ningan is also doing this kind of thing.

Now how much property the Wang family has, even Wang Ningan himself is not clear, if you want to say that you know the inside story, I am afraid that there is only one Bai family.

The Wang family is a complex shareholding cooperation, hiding from the eyes and ears of outsiders.

For example, in the original Haifeng Restaurant, Wang Ningan gave Xiang Hao half of the shares, and handed over the management rights to them, so that Xiang Hao could only be found in the government, and as for the partners, unless Xiang Hao was arrested and tortured.

The Cui family also mostly used the banner of others to disperse the family industry, relying on a firm grasp of the gold flow to maintain the huge family.

Then there will be a problem, hidden everywhere, they have no sense of existence among the people, they cannot call on the people, compared to the previous family, hundreds of thousands of tenants, thousands of families, the momentum is much worse.

And what do they rely on to protect themselves?

Not to mention the northwest land, they are all good men and women, abide by the rules, don't dare to come nonsense, there are not enough hole cards, just Wen Yanbo and Pang Ji can swallow the Cui family, and they can't wait for Wang Ningan to make a move.

"The Cui family is indeed too strange, if you don't figure out their details, it's hard to sleep!"

Hikari smiled, laughing happily.

It is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime thing to be able to see Master worried.

"Alright, stop gloating, you!" Wang Ningan said loudly: "Immediately go to the rest of the way to collect salt, and spare no expense to stabilize the price of salt!" ”

"Yes!"

Guangguang hurriedly agreed, he already had a plan in his heart,

There is a shortage of salt in the northwest. In addition to getting salt from Xixia, there are only two ways left, inside and outside, which is to ask for help from Hebei 2nd Road, Chuanxia 4th Road, Gyeonggi Road, Shandong Road and other places.

There is no problem with the two roads in Hebei, that is Wang Ning'an's base camp, there is no need to arrange it with Guangguang, Wang Deyong, Sima Guang and others have mobilized a large amount of salt and transported it to the northwest, but the road is far away, and it is not urgent.

Then there is the Sichuan Gorge Fourth Road, that is, Sichuan and other places, which produce well salt, and the quantity is also a lot, but now the transfer envoy of Chengdu Fu Road is called Wang Su, who was made out of the capital by Wang Ning'an.

After many years, the two of them can be regarded as enemies, and it is difficult to say whether he can help.

Guangguang remembered that his father and Wang Su had some friendship, and then there was the current imperial history of Zhang Fangping in Bashu for many years, and there were many protégés and former officials, so asking him to help might solve some problems.

Just casting a wide net can catch fish.

In addition, in fact, the northwest is not without salt, in the jurisdiction of Yongxing Military Road, there is a Yuncheng, also called Yunsi City, the land of China, Yuncheng is the only one that is set up because of the salt transportation.

Yuncheng has a famous salt pond, the local salt production method is similar to the seawater salt, the water of the salt pond is blue-green, the people dig a good ridge next to the salt pond, and introduce the salt pond water to evaporate.

If you catch the windy weather, after the night, the whole place will be full of white pool salt.

Guangguang's hometown is in Yuncheng, and his father's name is Sima Chi, maybe it's still a pool taken from the pond salt!

He has been familiar with the situation in Yuncheng since he was a child, and if he wants to solve the dilemma of salt shortage in the northwest, he has to start from the salt pond.

Guangguang immediately ordered to mobilize 3,000 men and horses to go to Yuncheng, and within half a month, escort 300,000 Shichi salt to all parts of the northwest.

In order to ensure the rapid completion of the task, Guangguang asked Bao Zheng to order the ban on the salt pond to be opened, and ordinary people were allowed to go to the pond to dry salt.

Lao Bao readily agreed, and he also sent elite soldiers and strong generals to cooperate with Guangguang to speed up the production and transportation of salt.

……

"Sure enough, there are some doorways!"

Cui Xifeng was still very calm, he had left the pond salt untouched before, introduced green salt from Western Xia, and suppressed the price of salt, Cui Xifeng felt that this was a conspiracy, or that it was deliberately sold flawed.

If you think that if you settle the Western Xia, you will be able to raise the price of salt, and you will definitely suffer a big loss.

But Wang Ning'an, you miscalculated, you underestimated the power of our Cui family too much, Xixia is just a bun of dirt buns who see money, and if you give them a little benefit, you can buy them out.

And what the Xixia people want, Wang Ningan, you can't give it, only we can give it, they will obediently obey our mercy!

As for the pool salt, you will regret it for the rest of your life!

We'll see!

Cui Xifeng is full of confidence.

……

Just after the interruption of green salt in Western Xia, the salt price in the northwest could no longer be suppressed, and it soared directly to 40 Wen, and the momentum of the crazy rise was just around the corner, breaking through 50 Wen and 60 Wen.

Some people even say that it will reach a sky-high price of 100 Wen.

The price of salt continues to rise, Guangguang and Bao Zheng are still trying to maintain it, and there are cheap salt for sale in various places, which can be exchanged for grain, but the amount has decreased.

At first, one family could exchange 3 catties, but now it has dropped to 8 taels per family, and it will take 10 days to change it again.

But even so, the salt exchange points in various places are often crowded, and the crazy people will even storm and grab the salt. Taking advantage of the civil turmoil, Liu Ji, Xi Ruyan and others seemed to have been given a booster, and they jumped out one after another to be impeached. They also learned to be smart, and even attacked Western Xia with a brush.

It is said that the Western Xia people are capricious and ambitious, and the ambition of the wolf is not credible at all, and they imported green salt to the Great Song Dynasty in order to disturb the Great Song Dynasty, with ill intentions.

Now that the Tu Poor Dagger saw that the Tangut people had torn up the covenant, they just took the opportunity to abolish the covenant, and everything was restored to the old system, and the northwest was naturally peaceful......

Having said so much, I'm afraid that the last sentence is their true words.

Wang Ningan doesn't care about some superficial rumors, today's Zhao Zhen is not so easy to fool, the real key is whether the salt of the solution pool can be in place as scheduled?

"My lord, I'm afraid it won't work."

Standing in front of Wang Ning'an, there was a tall and rugged northwest man, his name was Chong Diao, and his elder brother was the head of the Zhuang Army.

"Lord Wang, all the people in Yuncheng are from the Cui family, including the soldiers sent to Yuncheng, many of them are also from the Cui family, they will try their best to destroy it, and never let a grain of salt come out of Yuncheng."

Wang Ningan was very surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Third General, how do you know so clearly?" ”

He took a deep breath and then whispered, "Because...... We are also members of the Cui family!! ”
