With a face full of surprise, I will say my thoughts in as much detail as possible. Huang Taiji directly showed a very approving expression on his face, and put forward his thoughts and opinions......

Soon, a huge battle plan aimed at Liaodong and inflicting heavy losses on the Liaodong Tiger and Leopard Army appeared in front of the two......

After making sure that there were no more loopholes in the whole plan, Huang Taiji directly decided: "There are still two months before the autumn harvest. So, we set the time for the sortie to be two months later. However, in these two months, we must be well prepared for the expedition...... Of course, the importance of secrecy, Ben Khan will not say much. Before setting out on the expedition, the Liaodong Tiger and Leopard Army must not be allowed to notice anything ......"

Just when Houjin exhausted his national strength and began to prepare for the expedition in two months.

A sea boat, docked directly at the Yangzhou wharf.

In the midst of the crowd of people who stepped off the ship, there were a few middle-aged people who would not take a second look after one look. As soon as he got off the boat, he was picked up by two people and disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Half an hour later, these middle-aged people appeared in an ordinary courtyard in Yangzhou City.

Seeing the comers, several middle-aged people who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time greeted them directly and shouted excitedly......

"Your Excellency...... You're finally back...... I wonder if the commander has any new tasks for us......"

The middle-aged man, who was walking in the front and had a slightly tired face, directly said affirmatively: "Of course, there is not only a task, but also a very good task...... I'm sure that as long as everyone completes this task well, each of them will receive at least ten thousand taels of silver......"

Speaking of which. You should have guessed it. These people are not ordinary people.

Truly. The people gathered here are all some backbones of the internal guards of the Haw Par Army who have entered Yangzhou City.

As a fine work, although their salary is much higher than that of the officers and men of the Haw Par Army, and even higher than that of some low-level officers of the Haw Par Army. However, after all, they live in the bustling city of Yangzhou. With the limited amount of money and rewards, there is not much left over after ensuring a carefree life...... So, when they heard the reward of ten thousand taels of silver. Everyone's eyes shot out two rays of scorching light.

Looking at the main thing standing in front of him, it was like seeing a pile of gold ingots, and his eyes lit up.

The chief who had just returned from Beijing City didn't let them wait too long, and in the face of everyone's hot gaze looking at him, he asked thoughtfully: "Everyone has been lurking in Yangzhou City for so long, I don't know if everyone knows the price of salt in Yangzhou City......"

"Of course......" As soon as the principal's voice fell, a middle-aged man opened his mouth to answer......

"In Yangzhou City, the price of ordinary sea salt in official salt is ten cents a catty...... The price of refined salt is 50 wen a catty...... Other than that. There is also a lot of private salt circulating in the Yangzhou market...... The price is 8 wen a catty and 40 wen a catty...... It's just that the amount of private salt is very small. It can be said that it can be met but not sought......"

The principal nodded, and continued to ask: "If I transport a batch of illicit salt at the purchase price of two and ten yuan, is there any way for you to sell them......

"That's for sure...... "The middle-aged man who had just spoken replied without thinking about it......

"I know a lot of smuggler salt dealers in Yangzhou City, and let them sell, at least 50,000 catties of salt can be sold every month...... The price of their smuggled salt is 5 and 30 yuan, and we can sell it to them for 4 and 20 yuan......"

The principal was obviously not very pleased with this result. Under everyone's gaze, he analyzed with a stern face: "There are 300,000 people in the entire Yangzhou...... According to the calculation of one pound of salt per month, it is 300,000 pounds of salt a month...... Only 50,000 catties of private salt were put into the market, which did not have much impact on the official salt at all......"

After saying that, the principal was directly ruthless and continued to ask: "If we sell salt to them at the price of three and fifteen yuan...... How many ...... can they digest in a month?"

"100,000 catties...... Lord in charge, smuggling smuggled salt is smuggling smuggled salt after all...... No matter how low the price is, it can only be sold in the dark...... Therefore, 100,000 catties is already the limit of these smugglers......"

Just when the principal frowned and subconsciously wrinkled. Another subordinate suddenly reminded: "My lord, if the price is really so low, I think that we can not only consider the smuggler salt dealers, but also the salt merchants in Yangzhou City......"

"The official salt in the hands of all the salt merchants in Yangzhou City was sold to them by the imperial court at the price of seven and thirty-five yuan. If we could really supply them with sea salt for three or fifteen yuan, they would buy salt from us, even if it was at the risk of beheading...... After all, the stakes are just too great. And they can become salt merchants, behind each of them, there is a very great strength hidden. As long as there are enough interests to attract them, any court, any law, will be directly ignored by the special people......"

The principal's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Then how much salt do you think these salt merchants can help us eat every month......

"At least 150,000 jin ......" The subordinate who had just spoken replied without thinking about it......

At this time, the solemn face of the principal finally revealed a heartfelt smile. Under everyone's gaze, he loudly affirmed: "Okay, that's it...... We will take the two paths of smugglers and salt merchants......"

Compared with the excitement on the face of the principal, the faces of the subordinates were still confused and confused.

Seeing this, the director hurriedly explained: "Everyone must be curious, why do I ask you these questions...... Now, I would like to tell you for sure that the task assigned to us by the commander is to sell smuggled salt, and within three months, the official salt of the imperial court will be completely unmarketable, and the imperial court will not be able to collect a tael of silver in the salt tax......"

"The commander said that from now on, the Foreign Trade Department will supply us with sea salt without restrictions, and the price is the two and ten wen I said at the beginning. As for the price at which we sell, we will set it all by ourselves, and the difference in the middle will be distributed to everyone as a reward...... However, no matter what price we set, it must be within three months, so that the official salt from all over Yangzhou will have no market at all......"

"Of course, in the process of carrying out this task, everyone's salary should be as much or as much as possible. As for the silver from the purchase of salt, it was distributed to the people in the form of a reward......"

"Each of you is in charge of at least one county...... We calculate according to 100,000 catties of sea salt per month in a county. Even if you only earn one penny per catty of sea salt, 100,000 catties of sea salt is a full hundred taels of silver, which is more than five times your salary...... People say, isn't this a good thing for you......"

There is no doubt that the words of the Lord have touched everyone's hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that the principal had not yet given an order, these people would have left Yangzhou City as soon as possible and returned to their county seat to look for salt merchants and dealers who sold illicit salt to them...... (To be continued......)
