"Snow Salt" is the last to be sold in the Sili area, especially in the Luoyang area, and the merchants responsible for selling the salt produced in the Xianyang salt place of the Jin Kingdom are the "Four Seas Trade Warehouse" with the official identity and background of the Jin Kingdom.

The "Four Seas Trade Warehouse" is a merchant alliance led by Crouching Tiger City, which was originally created to prevent Jin merchants from fighting among themselves in various parts of the world, maliciously fighting price wars or grabbing land across borders in order to make money.

After all these years of operation, the merchants have increasingly felt the convenience and superiority brought by doing business under the banner of the Jin State, not only the bandits and bandits dare not do it, but the local government everywhere they go does not dare to blatantly extort and obstruct. After all, everyone knows today that the "five tigers" of the Jin State are not easy to mess with, maybe they will not pull the flag and rebel, but sending an elite force to suddenly kill a county guard or family is just a gesture, the premise is not to let them catch the handle.

At that time, Zhang Yang, the Taishou of the Shangdang and Han Fu of Weijun, died under the broadsword of Guan Yu, one of the "Five Tigers of the Shangdang", and Yuan Yu, the Taishou of Hanoi, died under the spear of Zhao Yun, the "Jade-faced Tiger". In addition, Ding Yuan, the former assassin of Bingzhou, and Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Liangzhou, were exterminated by Zhao Xing, and now his life and death are unknown; Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army was suppressed by Zhao Xing and hid in the Taihang Mountains for many years and did not dare to show his head......

Behind this bloody case, what is shown to the world is that the Jin State has a vengeful and unscrupulous style of acting. It doesn't matter if you are a Taishou or a mountain king, if you dare to take the initiative to provoke the majesty of the Jin Kingdom, the end is basically a death. Because of this, even if it is just a relatively loose chamber of commerce like the "Four Seas Trade Warehouse", as long as it walks the world under the banner of the Jin Kingdom, no one dares to have any ideas wherever it goes.

Of course, since the "Four Seas Trade Warehouse" can achieve goods all over the world, it is not only known that they are flying high, but their business philosophy and means are even more commendable. Zhao Xing advocated that businessmen adhere to the business concept of "everyone earns money, and make the cake bigger together", do not engage in dumping in the style of fishing and fishing, and strictly prevent the occurrence of shoddy, fraudulent and coaxing and other malicious incidents that damage the reputation of the Jinguo Chamber of Commerce and violate business ethics.

It is precisely because of the idea of adhering to the simultaneous improvement of soft power and hard power, the trade warehouses of the Jin Kingdom are now open all over the world, basically each state has a general warehouse, each county sets up a sub-stack, and the business travelers below the sub-stack often move within a county to sell goods.

While enriching their own families, these merchants also secretly purchased many special materials for the Jin Kingdom, such as: saltpeter, sulfur, cherished medicinal materials, all kinds of scattered folk books, etc.;

Today, the "Sihai Trade Warehouse" has extended its tentacles westward into the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, eastward to the Korean Peninsula and the northeastern Fuyu, Rulou, Wofu, Goguryeo and other spheres of influence, and southward to Ninan County in Jiaozhou (the southern tip of the Indochina Peninsula where Vietnam is located today). As for the vast north, because of the cold weather all year round, except for the infested with wild beasts, there are not many Xianbei people who have been cleared by the Flying Tiger Army, so no one goes to do business.

It is a suitable choice for the "Four Seas Trade Warehouse" to undertake the sales task of "Snow Salt". These seemingly scattered merchants, who jointly built or rented large warehouses in various counties, specially hired local strong men who knew kung fu as guards, met regularly to exchange business information, and sold some hot-selling goods separately, far more loose and orderly than appeared on the surface.

From the beginning of June, the merchants who returned to the Jin Kingdom to deliver goods came out again with a large amount of snowflake salt, but they did not make a noise or sell it, but they just stacked wooden boxes neatly in the warehouses of the counties where the Chamber of Commerce was located. Among these wooden boxes, there are bags of snowflake salt sealed in thick kraft paper, just waiting for the order of the chief manager of Taifu Mansion Qin, it will be put on the market by merchants and start dumping.

The batch of "snowflake salt" obtained by the merchants is not only better in quality than the ones on the market, but also the price is only 40% of the price of the official salt produced in Hedong Yanchi. The guide price set by the Taifu Mansion for merchants was only 70% or 80% of the price of official salt from the imperial court, 80% of the price for those far away from the Jin Kingdom, and 70% for those who were close to the road.

At the beginning of August, merchants in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Liangguo and Youzhou, who first received the sales notice, began to vigorously promote the high-quality "snowflake salt" produced by Jinguo on the market. With the huge advertising effect brought by the just-concluded Jin State Commodity Exhibition, the people around the country heard that the Jin Kingdom's fine "snowflake salt" is not only clean and delicious, but also the price is only seventy or eighty percent of Hedong official salt, so they have rushed to buy, originally only need to buy two or three bags of small households, hold back enough to buy a dozen bags a year, and those big families are simply the whole box from the warehouse to buy.

For the people, since "snowflake salt" is delicious and inexpensive, this thing is placed in a cool and dry place, and it will not deteriorate for three or five years, so it is also a way to buy more and put it away. In case one day the imperial court does not allow the salt of the Jin Kingdom to be sold, and if you want to buy cheap and high-quality snowflake salt, you can only spend it at a high price on the black market.

Because the sales area radiates to Luoyang from all sides, Chen Qun, who is specifically in charge of Dahan's finance, found that the menacing "snowflake salt" had threatened the status of Hedong Yanchi, and the situation had become very serious.

Chen Qun hurriedly sent people to the official office in charge of the production and management of salt ponds in Hedong County to investigate, and found that since May, the Jin, Liangguo, and Youzhou countries had stopped buying salty salt from Yanchi, and now the warehouses in Hedong Yanchi were full of salty salt planned to be sold to these three prefectures.

The snowflake salt produced by the Jin State has already begun to be sold openly in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they will naturally not be stupid enough to continue to buy official salt from the imperial court from the Hedong Salt Pond at a high price. It's just that Chen Qun really can't understand when there is a salt mine in the Jin Kingdom that can be richer than the "No. 1 Salt Pond in the World" Hedong Salt Pond, and the cost of production is so low that it directly compares the official salt of the imperial court.

Chen Qun, who knew that the stakes were at stake, did not dare to hide his feelings like the officials of the corpse vegetarian meal in Yanchi, Hedong, and quickly reported the matter to Liu Bei, the court lieutenant, first.

Liu Bei, who was anxious about how to resist the continuous impact of the Jin State Commercial Exhibition, after listening to Chen Qun's report, he smashed the teacup in his hand to smash it, and he almost spewed out a mouthful of blood.

Liu Bei hurriedly discussed the matter with Gao Shen Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang, who had already prepared to go to Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Wuzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places for a joint strategy, was also taken aback when he heard about it, and bluntly said that this matter is only about the price dispute of salt, but in essence, it is a wake-up call that the Jin State intends to hollow out the Han court, and must not be careless.

After Kong Ming's analysis, Liu Bei also realized Zhao Xing's extremely sinister intentions behind the salt price war, so he urgently discussed some measures, and then hurriedly reported to the emperor, and urgently convened a court meeting to discuss the matter with the ministers of the court.

Zhao Xing just moved the "cheese" of the imperial court, and immediately wrinkled a pool of stagnant water, and he didn't know what kind of countermeasures the Han court would make this time.
