Chapter 76: Liu Bang sells salt
After walking around the academy.
Ying Changsheng walked towards the salt well in the distance.
When he arrived, Liu Bang, who was in charge of here, hurriedly came out to greet Ying Changsheng.
"Nineteen sons, minister Liu Bang knocks to see nineteen sons!"
"Let's get flat!"
Ying Changsheng said to Liu Bang.
Immediately, he asked.
"Liu Bang, this son asked you, how much salt has been produced in the past few days?"
"Returning to the nineteenth son, there have always been ten cars, a total of more than 7,000 catties......"
"Oh, quite a few!"
Ying Changsheng muttered.
The cost of mineral salt is very low.
It stands to reason that this kind of daily necessities for ordinary people should not be set at a higher price.
The problem, however, is this.
At the moment, Ying Changsheng urgently needs a sum of silver, thinking of this, Ying Changsheng couldn't help but ask Liu Bang.
"Liu Bang, have you researched the market recently?"
"Have you ever known what the price of salt is? What do you think should be sold at such a high price for such a quality of salt that we produce? ”
"Nineteen sons, the minister thinks that we should sell it, and we can only get it right for a consistent price per catty, we are so refined salt, you know, on the market, it is not as good as the salt we produce, and the price is at least, it is always a catty!"
"Oh?"
When Ying Changsheng heard this, after thinking for a while, he immediately said to Liu Bang in front of him.
"Then you will go to Xianyang City immediately, and start selling salt, the price is not too high, the price per catty of salt is set at 800 yuan, which is lower than the market......
"Nineteen sons, who are you?"
Liu Bang was a little confused, but Win Changsheng asked with a smile.
"Let me ask you, what is the salt yield of our well?"
"Very high!"
Liu Bang said without thinking.
And Win Changsheng nodded, and then asked.
"Since it's so high, then, this thing is not a scarce thing, it can't be sold at a high price, and now everyone doesn't know that we can produce this kind of salt so easily, and sell it at a higher price, but in the future, how can it be like this? Therefore, according to the opinion of this son, we should take advantage of the fact that everyone has not yet reacted, sell at a low price, and let those individuals think that they have taken advantage of it and buy it wantonly, so that we can make a lot of money in it......"
Hearing this, Liu Bang's eyes lit up in an instant.
He realized that this was a better way to make money, and all he heard was his compliment to Win Changsheng.
"The nineteenth prince is wise, Liu Bang understands, Liu Bang will order people to go to Xianyang to open a shop, and then sell salt!"
"Good!"
Ying Changsheng nodded at Liu Bang, and then, thinking of something, asked Liu Bang.
"By the way, when will Lu Zhi arrive in Xianyang?"
"The nineteenth prince said that he was cheap? The minister has already sent someone to pick it up, presumably, it won't be long before he will be taken to Xianyang......"
Liu Bang said with a smile.
Ying Changsheng nodded, very satisfied, and then left in a hurry.
At the same time, Liu Bang ordered people to pull the produced salt into Xianyang City.
Liu Bang is a smart man.
He is not incapable, as the ancestor of the Han Dynasty in history!
At this moment, I only saw Liu Bang, and after entering Xianyang, he wantonly ordered his subordinates to shout in the market.
"Salt, good salt, good salt, the same salt as the tribute salt eaten by the emperor, only 800 yuan a catty, not much, first come, first served......"
Liu Bang's voice sounded.
Suddenly, it attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone gathered around, intending to watch the excitement.
Immediately, when he looked at the salt that was as white as snow.
For a moment, everyone's eyes widened.
Although Xianyang is at the foot of the Son of Heaven.
However, in this day and age.
The people of Xianyang have not yet been able to see such white salt, so it is inevitable that they will be shocked.
Liu Bang, on the other hand, glanced at the crowd of onlookers around him.
A look of contempt on his face.
Well, these people are all clothed, and, by looking at the hairstyles on their heads, you can see that these people do not have titles, so it is unlikely that there will be money to buy this refined salt to eat.
I only heard Liu Bangdao.
"Don't just look at it, is anyone buying? 800 yuan a catty, the price is not expensive! ”
Liu Bang said.
Hearing this number, the onlookers on the side were suddenly a little gloomy.
Yes, 800 dollars, not a small amount.
Where are they, willing to spend so much money, just to eat some salt?
And they were reluctant, but Xianyang City, as the capital of the Great Qin Empire.
But there are people who are willing to spend this money to buy this white salt to eat.
After all, in any era, there are rich people.
At this moment, when Liu Bang shouted, as the scattered crowd spread the news all over Xianyang.
When they saw the white salt, the merchants couldn't help but exclaim.
"This, this salt, is it tribute salt?"
"Yes, yes, it's exactly the same as tribute salt!"
Liu Bang may be for publicity, and hurriedly said.
And the merchant, while his face changed slightly, hurriedly said.
"How many, I'll buy them all!"
"There are thousands of pounds, are you sure you can buy them?"
Liu Bang looked at the businessman in front of him playfully and said with a smile.
"Uh......"
The merchant's face changed slightly.
If it is a few thousand catties, it will take thousands of pounds to buy it all.
He doesn't have so much even if he has all his net worth combined.
Thinking of this, the merchant retreated.
"Give me a hundred pounds, but I have something to ask, who are you? Where did you get such delicate table salt? ”
"Well, you don't know that, do you? Do you know who I am? ”
Liu Bang suddenly blew up.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, your honorable name?"
The businessman looked surprised and asked Liu Bang, he thought Liu Bang was a big man, and Liu Bang was a hooligan himself, he liked to brag, at this moment, after getting the opportunity, when he stood up and bragged to the people around him.
"We don't change our name, we don't change our surname, our surname is Liu Mingbang, we are from Pei County, and now, under the command of the Nineteen Princes, these salts are all brought by the Nineteen Sons and sold by us, do you know who the Nineteen Sons are? That's the prince of today, these salts, if it weren't for the benevolence of the nineteenth prince, it would not be your turn to wait for these people to eat ......"
"Now, you only need 800 yuan to buy a pound to go home, what are you waiting for? Come and buy it! ”
"It turned out to be the Nineteenth Prince's person!"
The businessman's face was straight and he arched his hand towards Liu Bang.
At the same time, in the distance, a carriage passed by.
The people in the carriage were obviously also alarmed by Liu Bang's voice, and he hurriedly said to the coachman outside.
"Stop!"
