Chapter 289: Breaking Muscles and Bones
After coming out of the palace, Li Xiang can be regarded as light, as long as he doesn't think about the struggle with Li Shimin, Li Xiang doesn't care about other things, if it is a struggle with Li Shimin, Li Xiang is really a little uneasy, after all, this person is the first emperor in history.
The entire Datang experienced more than half a month of calm, and after more than half a month, Zhidaobao suddenly put a large amount of salt on the shelves, and there was still official salt introduced by salt, the number was ten times more than before, if the previous method was adopted, the major families could not afford it at all, because they no longer had so much money.
What made matters worse for them was that Zhidaobao suddenly announced that he would not handle the loan business within half a month, because from the opening to the present, there are too many overlapping businesses, so the loan business will be temporarily closed, and the internal accounts must be audited, but the deposit business can be continued, and the interest has been increased by one percent.
Li Xiang also did this for a reason, he was really afraid that they would raise capital from the people, so he closed the biggest channel first, and was also able to absorb some of the deposits, so that the surplus capital in the society became less and their path narrower.
Li Xiang's salt is the best salt, but the price is still the same as before, all of which are 1,500 yuan a catty.
The major families have fried the second-class salt to five yuan a catty, and suddenly Li Xiang has such a cheap and better quality here, and many people feel that they have been fooled.
However, this did not delay them from continuing to buy a batch, some rich people are buying dozens of catties or hundreds of catties, the money does not matter to them, after buying this salt, it is enough for them to eat for a while, under their leadership, people from all walks of life began to grab salt.
The salt market looks very large, but it is not consumed so quickly, if you buy a bunch of them here in Li Xiang, it is very likely that they will be able to eat for two or three years, so if the major families do not reduce the price, then their salt may not be sold in the next two or three years.
At the beginning, several major families were ready to repeat the old trick and want to buy all the salt in Li Xiang's hand, but they found that there was less liquidity in the society, and Zhizhibao contracted the silver root.
The second is Cui Sanye's side, the five surnames and seven wangs have held several meetings, Cui Sanye either withdrew in the middle, or said that he would not continue to increase investment in the salt market, and the economic strength of the Cui family is also the strongest, if they don't come in, the liquidity in the hands of other major families will immediately be reduced by one-third.
Among these seven big families, the Cui family has always been second to none, whether it is news or scale, the Cui family is in front of the major families, no matter how the Cui family decides, there are some followers behind, when Cui Sanye announced that he was going to withdraw, there were immediately two other major families who were also going to withdraw, and all of a sudden there were three major families missing, and there were still four big families left, but they were also stormy.
Li Shimin looked at his subordinates' reports in the Jinluan Palace, and his heart was about to float with joy, among the remaining four big families, the Taiyuan Wang family accounted for almost half of the share, and this time he was the most injured, but at this moment, even if it was sold at a reduced price, not many people in the society bought it.
A lot of collateral has expired, but the four major families don't have enough money to redeem it, including a lot of high-quality assets, and Zhizhibao has made a lot of money from it, which also makes Li Shimin a little jealous, but thinking of the four major families who have suffered heavy losses, Li Shimin's psychology is not in a hurry.
Also in second place is the Longxi Li family.
Li Shimin originally wanted to lean on the past, but the Li family and Li Shimin in Longxi drew a clear line, now you can bear the bitter fruit yourself, there is so much salt in your hands, and suddenly it is worthless, not to mention earning back the money from buying salt, I am afraid there is still a big distance from your capital.
"This stinky boy makes more money out of it than I do, doesn't he?"
Li Shimin said to the man in black in front of him.
"If you go back to the emperor, His Royal Highness's layout is deeper than ours, and because of the institution that holds the treasure, he also has more channels than us, for example, in terms of collateral, he has earned more than the amount of salt in the auction."
The man in black also wanted to find out how much Li Xiang had earned, but unfortunately they couldn't get in at all, even if they arranged the most powerful spy, they were stopped at the closest place to the core, and those people's heads were gone at present.
"Where the hell did these people come from? Haven't you found out yet? ”
This group of black-clothed people is the most loyal under Li Shimin, no matter what kind of thing they send them to do, and these people have never missed, the only place where they miss may be on Li Xiang's body, no matter how powerful the people they send, when they get to Li Xiang's side, they are all sunk in the sea, and there is no return.
"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the emperor."
The two men in black knelt on the ground at the same time, they were also wondering about this, they had encountered many hostile forces before, but we were able to attack within two months, but now no matter which aspect they attacked, when they were about to approach the core intelligence, all the people involved were killed, although they knew that it was Li Xiang's subordinates, but you couldn't get evidence.
"Let your people come back for the time being, I'm not the kind of person who looks for trouble at will, I will send someone to pay attention to it in the future, and if there is any unfavorable situation, I will come and report it immediately."
Just made a big victory, according to their estimates, the loss of the Taiyuan Wang family will be about sixty percent, and two years later, the Taiyuan Wang family will fade out and become a third-rate family, and the loss at that time will be nine.
The losses of the other three major families are not small, but they can still support it, and the man in black has also estimated them, in the past few years, they may not be able to call the wind and rain.
Coupled with Li Shimin's actions in the court, he can even kick out all the people they arranged, which is what Li Shimin needs most, of course, there is a variable in this, that is, the Cui family who cooperated with Li Xiang.
The Cui family is also bitter now, if Li Xiang doesn't force them, how can they betray the five surnames and seven wangs, now in the eyes of other major families, the Cui family is the biggest traitor, without you we wouldn't be like this, you are more hateful than the Li Tang Dynasty.
