Chapter 306 [Under the 'Big Pit' Dug by Bai Dong]

Lu Zhen wore a lake-green dress today, and her skin was fair, like a half-peeled shallot, seeing her walk in the door with a smile, Zhao Liang only felt that his eyes lit up, and he was in a very happy mood.

She was holding a secret letter that had just been opened in her hand, Zhao Liang glanced at it, and saw that the envelope had her and Lu Zhen's names written on it, and immediately knew why this Yue female sect master was smiling so happily. Bai Zi does have a set of means, just by allowing the Yue Numen to participate in the secret affairs, he can get rid of these reckless hearts, and it is strange that Lu Zhen is not satisfied.

Zhao Liang guessed correctly, Lu Zhen was indeed very happy. The Yue Numen said that it was to protect the Yue country, but even with Fan Li's mind, it was just a mysterious weapon that the Yue Numen was just a mysterious weapon, and the highest achievement of the ancestor of the Yue Numen was to teach fencing in the Vietnamese army, but he had no chance to participate in serious national events; This Bai Zi is more broad-minded than Gou Jian Fan Li, since the establishment of the salt field in Yueguo, he has never treated her as an outsider in everything, so trusting that even the most eccentric ape man has to stretch out his thumb and praise 'good man'!

Bai Dong and Xu Gong opened a salt factory in Yueguo, not to mention how much labor expenses they had to pay, and when they sold the salt, all the doctors of the Qing family had a take, especially the Yue Numen and Guiwei doctors who supported Wu Yuan, and now Lu Zhen remembered that he had made the right decision to 'kidnap' Bai Dong and was very proud, and he even looked at Zhao Liang with it. A famous person in the Qin Kingdom, a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes like her loves to interact with intellectuals.

"I don't know if Bai Zi is crazy or not, anyway, I can't understand what he means, can Mr. understand?" Handed over the secret letter to Zhao Liang, and Lu Zhen sat aside with his cheeks. Wait for his explanation.

"Drop the price of salt by another percent. The Qi State Salt Works have already done this. We're going to keep up with that too? In addition to the five major salt farms in Qi and our side, a large amount of sea salt secretly purchased by the Xu family trading company in the past six months must also be shipped! And it is also necessary to specify that the buyer must be the State of Wei."

Zhao Liang frowned, looked at Bai Dong's secret letter, was extremely confused at first, and when he saw the second half, his eyes suddenly widened: "With such a large amount, even if Wei Guo eats it in one bite, it will cost at least two years of taxes, is this the reason for the price reduction?" It doesn't make sense, Bai Zi seems to be worried that Wei won't buy more sea salt? Otherwise, why would the price be lowered? Wait a minute! Green Girl. I know that the Yue Numen has the longest rumored information, how is the situation in the Wei State recently? I mean the economic aspect. ”

"Asked by Mr. Yes, Yue Numen received news that Wei Ying had increased 40,000 Wei soldiers in just half a year, and also allocated a huge amount of money to secretly build salt factories everywhere, which cost a lot of money. Moreover, they received a lot of Yanqi Haiyan, which should have used a lot of money, and it is said that some merchants in Daliang have received Wei Ying's letter to the king, and this King of Wei actually went to borrow money from the merchants."

"That's it. Wei Ying has a generous appearance. In fact, he is extremely greedy, since he has tasted the benefits of salt profit. How can you let go lightly? But Wei is not a big salt producer, after all, it depends on Qi Yan to provide basic sea salt, so that he can continuously produce high-quality Wei salt, so as to earn the world's wealth. Now Wei is strong, but if it is a few decades later, will Wei still maintain its hegemony? The Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants are not far away. Therefore, Wei Ying will do his best to hoard a large amount of sea salt, even if he empties the treasury of the Wei State."

The more he analyzed, the brighter Zhao Liang's eyes became: "It is not a simple matter for him to eat the sea salt that Yan Qi and other countries have hoarded for many years, and now that the treasury is empty, if he wants to continue to spend national resources to buy sea salt, then he must sell it cheaper." No wonder, no wonder! I thought it was Bai Zi Xu Gong and they were crazy, but now it seems that it is not them who are crazy, but Wei Ying, who is blinded by money! ”

"I still don't understand"

Midori shook her head. She felt that her brain hurt, she was an expert in dancing knives and swords, but when it came to this kind of economic means of calculating a country, she couldn't do it with eight. Even Zhao Liang just figured it out, and he sighed and was surprised in his heart, as if he saw Bai Dong and Xu Chengcheng laughing, using the country as a chess piece, playing an amazing game of chess.

"What's not to understand? If I am not mistaken, Bai Zi and Xu Gong have been calculating Wei for a long time. What a big deal! No wonder I always couldn't figure it out before, the salt from our five major salt places is already an astonishing number, why do Bai Zi and Xu Gong still buy a large amount of Yanqi salt? I bought it, but I didn't care about the price, and sold it at a low price at any cost? It turned out to be for today! Is this going to exhaust the national strength of the Wei State? Miss Luzhen, tell me quickly, what is the Wei State that used to be mainly a salt and iron official seller? ”

Lu Zhen was stunned by his question: "The smelters of the Yue Kingdom are good at smelting iron and forging swords, which is known to everyone in the world, so although the Yue Kingdom is chaotic, these blacksmiths and smelters can also go to various countries to make a living, and many of them are in the official smelting workshop of the Wei State." However, in the past six months, many blacksmiths in Wei have lost their way to make a living, and most of them have gone to other countries or returned to Yue. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Listening to Lu Zhen's words, Zhao Liang stroked his palms and laughed: "It can be seen that the Wei State has done its best to pay attention to the salt matter, and even the iron smelting industry, which has always been the pillar of the country, has also been affected. If this kind of thing happens, the Wei Kingdom will be in chaos! However, it is extremely difficult to make such high-quality Wei Yan suddenly unsellable, and I can't guess what Bai Zi is going to do."

"Wei Yan can't be sold, how is this possible? After eating high-quality Wei salt, even I don't want to change to bitter and astringent sea salt. The world is so big, Wei doesn't have to worry about it at all. ”

Lu Zhen shook her head slightly, she didn't have so many fancy intestines, so she knew that good things would definitely be sold, and Zhao Liang's statement couldn't be established at all.

"It may not be possible for Wei Yan to sell, or whether he can continue to sell at a good price, I'm afraid it depends on Baizi's means. If I'm not mistaken, Bai Zi and Xu Gongding have a backhand to wait, they are not Wei Ying's godsons, will they send money to this enemy for nothing? ”

Zhao Liang put down the secret letter with a smile, and his mood was indescribably happy. He only needs to wait now, Bai Zi ordered him to go to Qi Country first, and was sent to Yue Country to drink the sea breeze, wouldn't he just want him to be the head of the salt field? Bai Zi and Xu Gong made it clear that they wanted to Yin Wei State, and it was really his luck to be able to coincide with the meeting.

***

When Zhao Liang was full of infinite longing for his future life, Yingquliang was also laughing, and even tears almost burst out of his eyes, and he patted Bai Dong's shoulder desperately: "Good boy, good fourth brother of the widow!" According to what you said, this time not only will we have to pit Wei Ying, but also let Wei Guo do the day work for us? Wei Ying worked hard for more than half a year, and in the end, this huge profit would only fall into the hands of Lao Qin? ”

This matter is indeed a bit unbelievable, and Ying Quliang's cleverness can't figure it all out for a while, this is a historical limitation, and it has nothing to do with IQ.

"Although Wei Yan is good, if it weren't for the secret promotion of me and Xu Gong, how could he pass through the world so quickly and be welcomed by the people of the world? Xu Gong and I invested millions of dollars, on the one hand, to expand the salt farm, and on the other hand, to buy high and sell low to supply the basic sea salt of the Wei State, just to let Wei Ying taste the sweetness. The information collected by Jing Gong's subordinates is very correct, now that the treasury of Wei is empty, in order to continue to buy and hoard sea salt, Wei Ying has begun to borrow money from the merchants of Wei State, the more he borrows, the better, and the more money he owes, the more crazy he will become, and we have a chance. ”

"Fourth, let's talk about it carefully. Your head is different from ordinary people, and the third brother can't understand it."

"Actually, it's very simple, the low-priced sea salt that Xu Gong and I prepared will make Wei Ying desperately buy it, and then become a poor egg. But Wei still has to raise 400,000 Wei soldiers and Manchu Qing doctors, what should I do if I don't have money? Naturally, it is necessary to desperately produce Wei salt and then sell it. But this time it's not so easy, whether he can sell Wei Yan or not, and how much he can sell, depends on our mood."

"Fourth, are you exaggerating? The method of refining salt in Wei was given by you, and Wei salt is indeed a good thing, the thing is good, are you afraid that you won't be able to sell it? ”

"The third brother is wrong. Good things can be sold at a good price, this is generally speaking, but sometimes good things can't be sold at a good price, if the price is so low that he loses money, will Wei Ying still sell it? ”

Bai Dong smiled more and more weirdly, like a devil who has seen through the minds of the world.
