Six thousand dollars with one stone! Today's ordinary families, after a year of hard work, don't eat or drink for 3,000 yuan, where can ordinary people eat such salt.

But Huo Guang didn't plan to sell it to ordinary people, while this thing was still a rare product, he would make a wave of rich people's money first, and then wait until the technology of filtration and purification and saturated solution washing was discovered, and the price of fine salt naturally dropped.

After all, Ah Guang can't be alone all the time to practice salt, I crossed over to enjoy happiness, and I came to follow the idol Huo Quai's illness to become famous and the king's hegemony, we can't bear this hardship in this life.

The price of more than ten times that of ordinary salt also surprised Sang Jin and Sang Tianliang.

"Ah Guang, will this price be too high?"

"It's only low or not, let me ask you, what is the value of the tribute salt to Your Majesty?"

Sang Jin also happened to know about this: "The price of carefully selected salt is indeed high. ”

"How does the quality compare to my salt?"

Sang Jin thought for a moment and said, "Your quality is higher." ”

"Then my price is more expensive, you can disperse these salts to the surrounding counties, I will not sell it to other commercial houses, only a few dozen catties of salt a day, even if it is all given to you, it is not enough for a few high-ranking families."

Sang Tianliang still feels that the price is too high, and I don't know if anyone will accept it.

But Sang Jin agreed: "Then Ah Guang is like this, let's cooperate once and try it first, you give us these salts, and we will calculate the price of three thousand yuan a stone." ”

Then he said to the maid: "Go to the concierge and get 3,000 yuan to give to Huo Gongzi." ”

"These three thousand dollars should be regarded as a deposit, I want to buy a stone of salt first, according to Ah Guang, how can it take a few days, divide some of your own share of the sale and give me the rest, let's try to see the sales first."

"Yes, deal, you can't sell it in this county."

"Nature."

Although Sang Jin is a woman, she is very decisive in business, without any drag, and the conditions are immediately implemented, and she said to Sang Tianliang as soon as she got the salt: "Brother, you can divide this salt and sell it to the salt shops in the other three counties in the county first, and the price is set to one tael of salt and five yuan." ”

Sang Tianliang was even more stunned when he heard this, one tael and five yuan, one catty and sixteen taels is eighty yuan, and one stone is nine thousand six hundred yuan, which is much higher than the price that Ah Guang ordered before.

Sang Tianliang's face was embarrassed: "Son-in-law, I'm afraid this is too high." ”

"If ordinary people try it and buy a little bit, it doesn't take a few dollars, and the long-term customers of high-ranking families must come back to negotiate discounts, and they have to reserve some space, so as not to break the price set by Huo Gongzi."

Sang Jin is more thoughtful, mainly because he has many customers.

It sounds like a lot of 6,000 yuan for one stone, but it looks like three dollars when you get one tael, ordinary salt is sold by one catty, and this pearl salt is bought according to two, and it is not impossible to try it.

Even if the way of business is settled, Huo Guang feels that it is better to cooperate with the Sang family than with the salt gang like the Stick Gang.

The Sang family is already a big salt merchant, and the ready-made salt shop is used as a sales channel, and it is a high-ranking family, and there are many rich people among customers.

The Salt Gang just transports the salt out, and there are still many things to do when they don't know how to sell it.

Huo Zhongru Huo Guang and his son walked out of the Sang Mansion with a smile on their faces, Sang Jin sent it to the door, and the maid held the little girl in her hand and watched the two leave.

"Ah Guang, Sang Jin definitely takes a fancy to you."

"Why? Just two faces? ”

"It's not enough, the girls in the ordinary boudoir can't see each other, don't say that they can't see each other."

Huo Guang suddenly realized that in this era, except for the women of peasant families and workers' families who have to help with the work, the average boudoir women rarely go out, of course, there are many fewer rules in small places like them, and they are not so strict.

"That's not right, Father, why do you think people have taken a fancy to me."

"Father's eyes have seen too much, Sang Jin looks at you differently than others."

Huo Guang said nonchalantly: "The big family of the family can see what I am." ”

"Our family is not bad now, although the money can't be compared, but what kind of character is your eldest brother, you will also be an official in the future, it is normal for girls to look down on you."

"If you look down on me because of this, I'm not unusual."

Huo Zhongru squinted at Huo Guang, didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and patted Huo Guang's shoulder: "It's a bit of a man." ”

accompanied Huo Zhongru back to the Shaofu Courtyard, and after stamping Zhang Aguang, he also got an errand as a county official.

"Your county official is temporary, and under normal circumstances, you will only recruit when there is a shortage of manpower, and you will not be recorded."

Huo Guang was shocked: "Huh? How can my father arrange a temporary one for me, temporary workers are all used to carry the pot. ”

"What nonsense, you are going to enter Beijing as an official in the future, and your resume as a small county official is ugly, and your colleagues know that you are going to be looked down upon, so you will be given a position that is not recorded, and the effect is the same."

Huo Guang didn't expect Huo Zhongru to think so long-term, although his father sometimes didn't have a score, but once it came to himself, he always planned as well as possible.

Huo Zhongru took out a stack of bamboo slips at this time, his face full of distress.

"What is Father's sorrow?"

"Settle your taxes today, so you don't have a headache."

Huo Guang took a closer look, the dense accounts made people's heads hurt, and the taxes of the Han Dynasty were really much.

Oral endowment: "From the age of seven to fourteen, the people are twenty-three." Twenty coins to feed the Son of Heaven, and those who have three coins will add money to make up for the chariot and ride a horse. ”

Children between the ages of 7 and 14 have to pay 23 yuan a year, of which 3 yuan is military expenses.

Calculation of endowment: "The money from fifteen to fifty-six in the year of the people is to buy soldiers, chariots and horses." ”

Men and women from fifteen to fifty-six have to pay a poll tax, which is 120 yuan a year.

Even during the period of Emperor Hui, a woman who did not get married at the age of 15 had to pay 5 times, 600 yuan a year.

Then there's the property tax and the like.

Why should these taxes be targeted at individuals? Because it is difficult to monitor the commercial activities of the people in this era, there is no way to know the income of a family, and it is most convenient and simple to follow the head, and a few people can pay as much tax as they meet a few conditions, and the land property is easy to calculate.

If you really run into the deep mountains and old forests to open up the wasteland, no one will care about you.

The difficult thing is the commercial tax, of which the salt tax is the big one.

If Huo Zhongru really wanted to study it carefully, he wouldn't have to do anything else in the future.

"How do you think you can check this? No wonder I was confused before, and I just fooled around. Huo Zhongru looked at it twice, and then beat the drum.

Huo Guang took a look at the salt merchants recorded in the county, and the total amount of salt sold in a year was 300 stones, and the taxes were also paid by these 300 stones.

"Okay! You don't have to calculate how much you have to escape. ”

Huo Zhongru looked at Huo Guang suspiciously: "You know that you have escaped at a glance?" ”
