125 Salt merchants

(Today's second chapter is delivered, please support ahhh......h )

Since the last time the king was slaughtered, Lian Zining told several village elders to go down and let them arrange people to keep an eye on the town to see if there were strangers who were neither townspeople nor business travelers, to do this kind of thing, these villagers who were born and raised in Si were far more qualified than the army under his command.

Lian Zining frowned: "It seems that Wang Dahu has discovered something." ”

He calculated that more than a month had passed since he killed the prince, and the time when the palace should have given Wang Qianhu the usual silver had already passed, and if it was said that Wang Qianhu couldn't react, it would be a joke.

But he wasn't nervous, he told Dai Zhangpu about this, Dai Zhangpu had already taken this matter over, thinking that he would make Wang Qianhu retreat. and a high-ranking official with real power who is about to be promoted to Zuo Shilang, who is actually in charge of the military department, let alone Wang Qianhu, even if it is the vanguard of the government army, he is not a commander.

Thinking of this, Lian Zining said: "There is no need to worry about this, just let them see it!" ”

Rongyue already had a kind of blind trust in him at this time, since he said that he didn't need to worry, but naturally he didn't need to worry, so he nodded, and then said: "My lord, Ming'er should be the one who came to pick up the goods, sir, you see?" ”

Lian Zining patted his head, and he was so busy that he forgot about it.

He pondered for a moment and said: "I forgot about this matter, and thanks to your size, in this way, when those salt merchants came to Ming'er, the official did not come forward, and none of these merchants were willing to deal with the government." You invited them to a banquet in Jufulou, and said that the line of private salt had already been replaced, and then quietly revealed the relationship between Master Dai and us to them, reassuring their hearts, and then said that this time the price of all the salt mentioned was half as low as before, so that they could take advantage of it. ”

Rongyue nodded, looked at Lian Zining and said, "Then the adults will allow their subordinates to make their own decisions?" ”

Lian Zining laughed: "You do something, what else do I have to worry about?" Self-management is to look at it, we have so much salt here, and we can also set up a way to traffic illicit salt in the future, and there are as many smuggling salt dealers as dogs in Shandong, so we don't have to worry about having no way out. As long as these salt merchants take it down, it will be a way for us to make money in the future. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, according to the government's price, a pound of salt was sold for three dollars of silver, which was extremely expensive, and the common people could not afford to eat much. That's why private salt is so rampant, from Wang Kang's confession, what he sold to those salt merchants is two dollars and three cents of silver per catty, don't underestimate these seven cents of silver, tens of thousands of catties, that is a not to be underestimated. And if it is according to what Lian Zining said, it is roughly two dollars of silver per catty, which is so much cheaper at once, and those salts are obviously rushed, and the white salt in the basement of the palace is more than 100,000 catties, so it is 20,000 taels of silver.

The expenditure of the inner palace for the entire palace is only one million taels a year.

Moreover, the money was directly robbed without any profit.

The next day, a shy salt merchant followed, each with a large number of carts behind him.

These people are not going south to do business, so they don't know the establishment of the Jingnan Banknote Pass, but they are very surprised, and they think that they have come to the wrong place, Lian Zining sent people have been waiting there for a long time, and after asking clearly that they are here to carry salt, they directly took people to Jufu Building, where Rongyue has been waiting for a long time.

After the salt merchants gathered, Rong Yue explained to Lian Zining that she was born in Zhang Jing's shogunate, and she had seen many big scenes, so she was naturally easy to deal with a few salt merchants in this area. It was easy to reach an agreement with these salt merchants and sell the salt for two cents a pound of silver. And it was agreed that as long as there was no change in the future, the price of white salt would still be at this price, and then it was set to buy it once in three months.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty are all dead goods who only recognize money, and with the concession of this two cents of silver, it doesn't matter if it is a change of people, they are scrambling to buy, seventeen salt merchants, they actually snapped up 120,000 catties of salt, and even Lian Zining bought the 20,000 catties that he just grabbed back yesterday.

This is really an unexpected joy, these salt merchants have always been accustomed to cash trading, and the carts are full of boxes of cash, and they moved down directly at this time.

Transported the salt of Baihuahua, left the same silver of Baihuahua, sitting in the lobby, Lian Zining looked at the money, and was also quite happy, silver, but it was never too much.

He left 5,000 taels of silver for his usual expenses, and then asked people to load the remaining 15,000 taels of silver into the car, and personally escorted Liu Liangchen's small flag and twelve people into the city, and went straight to Dai's mansion.

Now is the time to send silver as agreed with Dai Zhangpu, and if you do the math, the amount of silver he wants to send to Dai Zhangpu is really a lot - kill Wang Dahu and take over this private salt road, and he will send a sum of silver to Dai Zhangpu, and this silver will have to be sent once every season in the future. The establishment of the Jingnan banknote customs, thanks to Dai Zhangpu's maneuvers, he had to send a sum of silver every month in the future.

He also owed the Ministry of War two sums of silver, one was the monthly standing silver after the establishment of the Jingnan Banknote Pass, and the other was after all the standard-bearers in the suburbs of Beijing were abolished, and the regular silver payable by the hundreds of standard-bearers and guards would also fall on him.

Lian Zining sighed, originally looking at the current official road Liu Zhen said to enter the gold, and his heart was still happy, but now it seems that he is also a passing god of wealth, and there is not much money left in his hands.

However, when the money is handed over, it is an official position, power, and one's own dreams and ambitions!

As Lian Zining expected, although today is the period of the great dynasty, but the secrets of the dynasty have always been unkept, a few days ago, well-informed people in the capital have already received the letter, and now there must be some status, they already know about the upcoming changes. Today's so-called Great Imperial Discussion is nothing more than making these contradictions public.

Although it has not yet been officially ascended, but Dai Zhangpu moved to the right of the military department and left the waiter, and the news of the real power in charge of the military department has been spread among the officials. At first glance, they are all official hats, shoulder to shoulder, there are hundreds of people, and I don't know how many of them are connected to their attendants.

If you don't know, you still think that this is the market now!
