0769 back to Tianjin
The meaning of the famous post is that when he is in trouble in Beijing, he can take Liu Haojia's famous post to ask for help or ask for help! The two land deeds are the land deeds of two shops in Tianjin, and there is an annual income of more than 10,000 taels just by renting them out! If you can operate, you will naturally earn more!
But this is already a great help for Zhang Jingping! And he also understood Liu Haojia's intentions, and said many things that Liu Haojia and Qi Jiguang didn't know at the dinner party at the end of the handover! Many of these things are not known to outsiders! This makes Liu Haojia feel the importance of being kind to others!
If he had put on a posture of fighting Zhang Jingping at the beginning, where would there be such a smooth handover today, and he would have learned many confidential things! It seems that the ancestor is right, take a step back and open the sky!
However, Liu Haojia also noticed that in the process of their handover, no one in the civil official system of Datong City showed up! Liu Haojia knew that this represented disagreement and confrontation! It seems that Qi Jiguang has another batch of opponents after him!
The first thing Qi Jiguang did when he took office was to purchase military rations and stabilize the army's heart! He bought all the grain stored in Liansheng Grain Store, but did not pay a tael of silver, but issued a full receipt to prove that he had indeed received the grain.
His second order was still to buy grain, but this time to buy grain was to take out real money and buy grain from the grain store that used to keep the year. But Qi Jiguang didn't have any money, so he still used the silver that Liu Haojia copied from Qian Shounian's family!.
And the thing is also interesting, when Liu Haojia was arresting people all over the city, the shopkeepers in the grain store were frightened one by one, and they could only gather in the grain store to wait for the verdict of the government! But I don't want the government to just routinely interrogate them, and it's not difficult for them at all!
Moreover, when they were interrogated, they only said that there was only one owner in the entire grain bank, Qian Shounian, and no one else participated in the shares. As a result, just after Liu Haojia announced that Qian Shounian was the head of the White Lotus Sect and did not punish him in a big way, a person suddenly miraculously appeared, holding a document and announcing that he was also one of the shareholders of the grain bank, and now he was going to take over the entire grain bank!
Liu Haojia sent someone to inquire, this person is also a local in Shanxi, a small grain merchant from other places, and has some business dealings with Qian Shounian. Now it seems that he is the puppet who was pushed out again by those people behind him!
However, I don't know if this person is smart, or if he was instructed by the person behind him, in the name of thanking the government and the labor army, he directly sent the grain to the barracks, and confiscated a penny!
Liu Haojia looked at his behavior and knew that Qi Jiguang should be fine here. But he's about to be out of luck! He was sure that the people behind those grain merchants would not let their business suffer, but would only fight back with a more violent attitude!
Since ancient times, all dynasties have been agrarian societies, and food is a vital material, and there is no one! Therefore, anyone who dares to meddle in the grain market is all powerful and wealthy, even high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and even royal families and families!
They also know a truth, that is, the truth that the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an anthill, so they will definitely not let Liu Haojia, a little ant, live happily, in case he tears a bigger hole in the embankment!
Then news came from everywhere, which made Liu Haojia and Qi Jiguang completely relieved! Because Jinyiwei has just sent news from other border towns, the generals everywhere have already begun to buy grain after receiving the news from Datong! And the mode of acquisition is the same as Datong, which is to buy a batch from Liansheng Grain Bank, and then buy a batch from the grain bank that often cooperates with Xiangli! In short, the food shortage in the border town was solved at once!
At the same time, due to the intervention of Liansheng Grain Bank, the grain prices in all border towns have fallen sharply, which is more than two and a half percent lower than this time in previous years! This difference is naturally indifferent to those elites, who don't eat grain anyway and have meat, but for ordinary people, it means that they can use the same money in previous years to buy two and a half more grains! That's a great thing for them!
So all the people rejoiced and went on a big buy of grain! Maybe the difference between these two and a half is not much, but if you grit your teeth, it is enough to get through this period of green and yellow! At least they won't be selling their sons and daughters!
As soon as the matter in Datong Town was over, Liu Haojia rushed to Tianjin with people at full speed. As for whether Qi Jiguang can sit firmly in Datong Town,
That's what he's capable of! But I think it shouldn't be a big problem to have Zhang Juzheng to take care of it!
Liu Haojia rushed to Tianjin and didn't even return home, and came directly to the salt factory. Zhang Zhi heard that Liu Haojia had arrived and hurriedly greeted him, but when he came out to greet him, Liu Haojia had already rushed to Yantian.
After Liu Haojia saw him, he looked Zhang Zhi up and down, and saw that he was wearing all short clothes, except for an official boot on his feet, which made Liu Haojia very satisfied! This outfit at least shows that he does not sit in his room and drink tea every day, but goes out for a walk every day.
As for wearing official boots, it doesn't matter! The people in the palace don't often walk long distances, and their feet are naturally very tender! If Zhang Zhi learns from others to wear straw sandals, I'm afraid that my feet will be worn out at this time!
After Zhang Zhi gave the salute, Liu Haojia said directly: "Ben Hou has already inquired about the amount of salt stored just now, you are ready, someone will come to pull salt tomorrow, the target is the land of Jiubian, Shanxi and Hebei, Ben Hou wants to hit the salt price of these three places to the lowest!"
Zhang Zhi's heart trembled when he heard this! He naturally knew that Liu Haojia's words were equivalent to declaring war on the salt merchants head-on! And standing behind them are the officials of the family and even the imperial court, which is tantamount to declaring war on half of the imperial court! Rao felt that he had always been bold, but for a while, sweat was still oozing from his forehead!
But he also knows one thing clearly, since he has already boarded Liu Haojia's ship, he can't retreat! So he fixed his mind: "It's hard to say! If it is according to Hou Ye, I am afraid that the price of this salt will be very low! Once the people rush to buy it, the salt reserves may not be enough! And even transportation is a big problem!"
Liu Haojia also knew that he was a little anxious when he heard this, so he couldn't help but pat his head and sigh! In fact, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was already a relatively developed salt production technology, and the process was relatively mature. But one of the biggest factors affecting the price of salt is transportation!
In coastal areas, especially where there are salt farms, the price of salt is about four or five wen per catty of salt on average, or even lower! Because it is always easy to get salt by the sea, if the local fishermen have no salt at home, they can scoop a pot of seawater and boil it to produce salt, and the price is naturally not high!
