Because of the dimensionality reduction blow of pearl salt, Luoyang salt is expensive after Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, such a high-priced pearl salt prevails, according to the Han Dynasty has always been the way of management, salt and ordinary commodities are almost the same, that is, tax, theoretically the more sold, the more expensive it is sold, the higher the salt tax collected by the imperial court.

However, the emperor was keenly aware of the hidden dangers and was afraid of causing turmoil, so he warned Sang Hongyang.

Sang Hongyang took this opportunity to mention the policy of "official mountains and seas" again.

Historically, the state has been advocated for the monopoly of salt industry, minerals (salt and iron monopoly), and the idea of controlling mountains, forests, rivers and rivers in various ways.

Food lake pool, official mountains and seas.

This idea was not put forward by Sang Hongyang alone, but in the past few decades, the rule of Wenjing, has not implemented the policy of official mountains and seas, after the recuperation of Wenjingzhi, the social economy has achieved great development, the history says that the people were rich at that time, the treasury was full, and the society was stable, and suddenly wanting to change would inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the people, merchants, and the power of the vassal states.

However, because Liu Che strengthened the autocratic power of the central government and his military strength was also strong, he had enough strength to compete with the Xiongnu, and Liu Che needed the support of the central government's finance, so he still thought about it.

Sang Hongyang didn't say anything big when he talked to Liu Che, but only told the emperor that the new pearl salt can completely replace the salt on the market now, as long as the output is increased and the price is reduced, the share of other salt merchants can be occupied, and even the emperor does not need to introduce a policy, as long as their Sang family's salt farm is bigger.

Moreover, Sanghong Yang means that the Sangjia salt shop and salt farm are nationalized, and the tax is directly added to the sales price, and the country's internal affairs are directly extracted to increase fiscal revenue.

It is quite a central enterprise controlled by the imperial court, and salt officials are set up to control all aspects of production and sales.

As long as ordinary people don't know that the backstage of the Sang family's salt industry is the imperial court, then it is an ordinary shopping mall competition at this stage, so as not to make trouble to the imperial court, and manipulate the market by commercial means, and it may be too late when they find out.

Liu Che admires Sang Hong Yang very much, the benefits of pearl salt are very large, and with such a high sales price, it can still be sold out of stock, but Sang Hong Yang is willing to contribute it to increase the central financial revenue, how can Liu Che be unhappy.

Liu Che thought about this matter for a while and then responded, and let Sang Hongyang secretly implement it, if it can be successful, just the salt tax will come up, and the financial revenue of the imperial court will increase a lot.

But Liu Che also understood Sang Hongyang's thoughts and purposes, and promised that this matter would be done well, and Sang Hongyang would be promoted to Da Nongcheng.

Since the first year of Emperor Jing's reign, the history of Su Nei was changed to the Great Agricultural Order, and there were two Cheng under it, called the Great Nongcheng. Zuo Ling holds the financial income and expenditure of the money valley and goods, and ranks a thousand stones.

This is a big official, Sang Hongyang turned out to be a servant, although it sounds good and can be around the emperor, but it is one of the additional officials outside the regular official position, and the big farmer is a regular official in power.

Da Nong Cheng is the Da Nong Order, and further up is Da Si Nong, who is ranked in Jiuqing, and he is also a real power figure.

This position is not a big leap, the main thing is that this thing is really big, if you do a good job, you will be promoted to get rich, if you don't do it well, if you arouse public resentment, Sang Hongyang will inevitably be pulled out to block the gun.

Risk and return always coexist, and Sang Hongyang is willing to do it.

But after all, he promised Huo Guang 30% of the net profit, once the Sang family's salt industry is nationalized, that is to say, he has to break his promise to Huo Guang's 30% pearl salt profit, and this matter has to be made clear to Huo Guang.

Huo Guang arrived at Sang's house, Sang Hongyang himself was still in Chang'an, Sang Jin took the letter he left, a little embarrassed, judging from Sang Hongyang's behavior, maybe at the beginning when Sang Hongyang and Huo Guang talked about pearl salt, they thought about taking pearl salt to the emperor and changing their official position, so he was pitted Huo Guang.

According to Sang Jin's understanding of Huo Guang, his head turned very fast, it was impossible not to think of this matter, would Huo Guang be angry in this case?

Facing Huo Guang, who was sitting not far away, Sang Jin felt uncomfortable, Huo Guang asked, "What is Ah Jin looking for me?" ”

"Ah...... Light, that ......" Sang Jin couldn't speak.

Sang Yu was more straightforward, seeing that Sang Jin was embarrassed to say it, he told Huo Guang all the things straightforwardly.

After listening to this, Huo Guang was still a little angry in his heart, but he knew very well that as long as the emperor's affairs were involved in this era, he was now soft-spoken and powerless to refute, and the matter had become a foregone conclusion.

"Ah Jin, in this way, your father designed my pearl salt." Huo Guang's face did not change, and he said without joy or sorrow.

Sang Jin was embarrassed, Sang Yu didn't know what to say, Gan Fu was on the side, watching as if watching a good show, without the intention of accosting or helping.

"We'll make it up to you, A-Guang." Sang Jin held back such a sentence.

Huo Guang patted his pants, dusted off the dust, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Okay, let's talk about how you make up for it?" ”

Seeing that Huo Guang was not angry at all, this was beyond Sang Jin's expectations.

Businessmen value fame and fortune, as long as you compensate in place, this matter can be settled like this.

"Ah Guang, we are still discussing this matter, do you have any ideas to put forward."

Huo Guang stood up: "Then I'm not welcome, this matter is the head of the Sang family who lost his words first, in business, the head of the Sang family is scheming, I admire it, but it is related to my own vital interests, and it is not that you have revealed it with a word of apology, my request is like this." ”

"Although the head of the Sang family put forward a proposal to His Majesty on the official mountains and seas and the official salt industry, this matter should not be publicized, and His Majesty will not do it with great fanfare at the beginning, so so let's do it, I don't care how the head of the Sang family and His Majesty discuss, the income from the sale of pearl salt in the Sang family, the part that belongs to the Sang family, I want 20% of it, the part that belongs to the imperial court, I don't ask a word, until the Sang family's salt industry is completely owned by the imperial court, how about it?"

Huo Guang crossed his palms and fingers, looked at Sang Jin with his eyes like falcons, and then said: "If all the profits of the Sang family's salt industry will go to the imperial court tomorrow, I will not want a share, if it will belong to the imperial court in ten years, then I will have all the profits of the past ten years. ”

Huo Guangzhi's momentum gave Sang Jin and Sang Yu a stunned moment.

"Ah...... Light, I'll discuss this with my father. ”

Huo Guang turned around and waved his hand, turned his back to the two and said: "It's not a discussion, this is my condition, as long as the Sang family finishes business in the future, if there is no share, I will lead the soldiers of the champion Hou Mansion to check the accounts." ”

still have to take out Huo Qu's illness to suppress people, who makes himself weak.

This condition quickly spread to the ears of Sang Hongyang in Chang'an, and Sang Hongyang was not angry but happy: "Good boy, he has vision, and this time as long as he is twenty percent, he also knows how to advance and retreat, but I didn't expect Huo Quai's younger brother to be a person." ”

"Come, send a message to Sang Jin, ask her to agree to Huo Guang's conditions, and let Sang Jin and Sang Yu get closer to Huo Guang, this kid is good, haha, this kid is really good."
