Chapter 63: Hype (Ask for Recommended Collection)
Well-informed people know that Xuan Mo started in Beizhili, and most of the soldiers are northerners, and this Qianzong's style should not be fake, at this time, someone behind stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the shopkeeper Meng, and the shopkeeper Meng nodded and said with a smile:
"Mr. Li Qian, all my colleagues in Jining want to see the cargo on the ship, why don't you open the tarpaulin, let everyone take a look, and make a judgment!"
The boat was already leaning on the pier, and the sailor boat owner went ashore to tie the cable to the stone pile, and Li Qian, who was over there, was already shouting at the ship's guards to start lifting the tarpaulin.
Everyone on the dock was taken aback, on the boat was not the expected salt-wrapped straw bags, but neatly stacked porcelain jars, the weather was sunny and the light was abundant, these porcelain jars were old and abnormal, some people simply came closer to see, the mouths of those porcelain jars were sealed with wax.
Someone asked very suspiciously:
"This captain, what's in the jar?"
"X fuck, it's filled with fine salt, what is bad for those bastard thieves to traffic, it is said that it is in Shaanxi to break a few big Zhuangzi, dig the cellar and dig out these salts, damn, why not those satin, gold and silver."
Oh? The cellars of large families, Shaanxi are all eating green salt, why is it so solemnly sealed in the jar and buried in the cellar, but the thousand always scolded and said that he didn't understand, the more this is the case, the more associations there are in everyone's hearts.
Mr. Qian replied impatiently, and directly took a jar to the dock, took out a knife to scrape off the wax, and opened the lid, which was indeed refined salt like snow and fine sand.
Legend is that it is the cargo ship of the governor's yamen, the legend is that the salt goods of the thieves were seized, and the legend is that the cellar of the giant room of the big family was excavated in Shaanxi, and everything was not confirmed, but all the merchants present found the business opportunities in it, and in Jining City, the news on the canal wharf circulated the fastest.
Presumably these things have been seen by many people just now, and someone will come to understand the truth afterwards, this news is almost certainly more and more mysterious, and now the news of Qingyan concentrating and calming in Jining City, who spread it, everyone knows in their hearts.
Today, the soldier and the salt were almost sent to the door, and when the shrewd one was pondering, he heard the thousand always shouting at the top of his voice:
"Four thousand jars of salt, all of them are the best green salt, I also brought ten boats of loose salt, all of which were seized in the hands of thieves, and they all said that the old salt is good, and the new salt is poor, so I mixed the salt of this porcelain jar into the loose salt and sold it at the public price in the market, and our lord is still waiting for the money to pay the military salary!"
As soon as I heard this, everyone was anxious, the salt in the porcelain jar was different from taking it out, if it was taken out, the price would fall completely, and there was no concept of speculation.
The shopkeeper on the shore persuaded one after another, saying that the salt was in the jar, and the loose salt was loose salt, and we bought this salt jar at a high price, and the loose salt was according to the public price.
Everyone knows that the shopkeeper Meng and this military man are also familiar with each other, and the price will not be too cheap, just buy it at a slightly lower price than the fair, and it will definitely not make less money at that time.
There was also a gentleman on the ship, who was there with the military man for a while, and Li Qian shouted loudly again:
"The salt of the porcelain jar is six taels of silver, and the loose salt is six taels and one load!"
If this price is really green salt, it is really not too expensive, and the porcelain jar is something that is not clear, and the price can be high or low, but since Mr. Qian is shouting out the price, it is the boundary of bargaining for everyone.
The wharf was crowded for a long time, and there were merchants who came temporarily, and the shopkeeper Meng of Wenru Commercial Bank did not speak, everyone knew that he was avoiding suspicion, but seeing this, he couldn't help but believe it a little more.
The final price was five taels of porcelain jars, five taels of loose salt, ten ships of nearly 3,000 stones, plus four thousand jars of salt, and 35,000 taels of silver, but although the taxes of Jining City could not be collected, the merchant's silver was not ambiguous, and everyone inspected and weighed the goods on the spot.
Distributed by the Chamber of Commerce and several large merchants, according to the size of the warehouse to determine the share, each family transferred to the workers, carriages and ships began to be packed, more people and more silver, the strength is also great, the salt is carried before dark, the porcelain jars are a jar of checked weighing, it is really not ambiguous, each jar is ten catties or less, and they are all good refined salt.
The money and goods were both gone, and then what Mr. Qian did made many people really dumbfounded, he actually took out these salt to market Shandong's salt leads!
Originally, everyone thought that this was a private salt sale, but the salt administration was abolished, and these had the background of officials and magnates on the wharf, who cared, who would have thought that this salt was actually legal, and when they saw that the salt was really a real certificate issued by the Salt Transportation Envoy Transit Division, it seemed that this was really a salt cargo that funded military salaries.
Everyone believed four or five points of thought, and a little more.
Before dark on this day, some well-informed big families already knew that there was a batch of good green salt in the city, and they all looked for familiar shops to buy, and when they saw this antique jar, as well as the rumors that gradually spread on the dock, everyone was enthusiastic, and the salt that came in the morning was sold at the price of ten taels and one cans when it was dark, and many people who knew the news later came to book.
There are about 2,500 cans in this Jining city, and the rest have been bought by those merchants from other places, and everyone sighed that their business was worth it, and decided to raise the price the next day.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, the porcelain canned green salt purchased by the branch of the foreign commercial bank in Jining City has been shipped to the north and south, and along with the goods, there is a description that seems to be a market commentary, which is easy to understand, and I don't know that the merchant started, and someone hired a broken literati in Jining City to write this explanation.
There is no gorgeous rhetoric and rigorous confrontation, just to say that this green salt is the thieves excavated in the cellars of wealthy families around Xi'an Mansion, intercepted by the imperial court officials and soldiers, and then brought to Jining Mansion for sale, and the rubbings of the salt are attached, and it is said that after this green salt cellar is stored for a period of time, it not only has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, but also can detoxify and clear the heart, which is really a rare good product for health and beauty.
It's not that there are no people who doubt it, but there are more people who still believe it, it's only been three days since the arrival of the goods, and the price of each jar of green salt has risen by three taels of silver, that is to say, it was bought for five taels of silver at that time, and it was a profit of ten taels when it was sold backhanded.
