0881 in the Beijing Division
For this reason, Huang Guojun and the soldiers had to announce many times that there would be low-cost salt delivered, but it would be four days later. Although those who did not buy salt were bothered, after seeing the shining bayonets of the soldiers, and several carts full of human heads, and the four heads raised high, they did not dare to vent their dissatisfaction, but hoped that these officials would speak their minds and that salt would really be delivered in the future.
And under Huang Guojun's guidance, they also thought clearly, even if they didn't buy salt this time, it didn't matter, they could always buy it next time. And Huang Guojun also guaranteed that the salt in the future will be at the price of Shiwen! What's more, it's useless to hoard too much salt, and it's your own money that is lost when you get wet!
The most important thing is that they saw that Huang Guojun just sent the caravan away, and the camp was still here with no intention of leaving, so they could only believe their words, and finally dispersed unhappily!
Compared to Yangzhou, what happened there in Wuxi was much the same. But fortunately, it was closer to the Yangtze River, and the number of salt barons was smaller, and it was easily defeated by the soldiers. So with the help of the soldiers and errands of the local guard, the salt was successfully sold!
As for Nanjing, it is even simpler, there is the old nest of the Duke of Xu! And Xu Guogongfu and Liu Haojia have always had dealings! He wrote a letter asking Xu Guogong's government to send someone to help, and this kind of gesture was naturally willing to agree to Xu Guogong!
So he simply dispatched a large number of soldiers to control the dock and its surroundings, and the officers who led the team directly started selling salt at the dock! Therefore, when the people saw that there were forty ships carrying salt to the docks, the irrational buying mood disappeared a lot, and the order was much more stable! So when it was sold to the end, there were still eight boats left of forty boats of salt!
At the same time, the news that the Wu'an Army had won two battles spread like a whirlwind throughout Jiangnan! Everyone knows that Wu Anjun is not easy to mess with, and he can kill all his opponents with less victories, and he is still unharmed! This makes all the salt barons who still have the intention of taking the lead be honest!
Even many small salt lords have wondered whether to change to another industry? What's even more interesting is that there are quite a few little salt barons who have decided to make another profit at the end! They actually found three places to sell salt to talk about purchases, and they were ready to make a difference when the low-priced salt had not been promoted to distant places! It made Huang Guojun and others, who presided over the affairs, cry and laugh!
However, they can be sent out to take charge alone, and naturally there is some determination! After estimating how much salt was left, they decisively wholesaled the remaining salt in their hands, completely tearing up the network of salt barons! At this point, the dense private salt network controlled by the salt merchants in Jiangnan has been completely wiped out by their continuous killing and splitting!
At the same time, a large amount of salt hoarded in Shandong was continuously transported to the Yangtze River by sea boat, and then transported to various places from various waterways connecting the Yangtze River! The inland river division came forward to undertake this business, and added a lot of silver to the pockets of the three generals! It also makes low-cost salt continue to encroach on the market in the south of the Yangtze River, and now low-cost salt has begun to develop from the cities on both sides of the Yangtze River to both sides!
As for Shandong's slowdown in salt works, the construction speed has also accelerated again! Moreover, Zhang Zhi has money in hand, so he never levies forced labor, and always hires workers and pays them in full! Therefore, everywhere they went, the people were cheering, and they were even more energetic when they worked, lest they lose this livelihood!
So on the whole, the entire salt market in Daming has been completely revitalized! But there are a few most important issues that need to be addressed! That is how the original salt merchants and salt factories were disposed of. But he doesn't have to worry about this, because Liu Haojia is dealing with these things!
Just more than 20 days after the outbreak of the Great War in Yangzhou, the Wuning Houfu, which had not been used in Beijing for a long time, was finally opened! But the appearance has not changed, and it still seems that there is no one.
This mansion was given to Liu Haojia by Emperor Wanli in accordance with the rules when he became an earl, and now it is a marquis' mansion! It's just that after Liu Haojia got his hands on it, he only arranged for the sprinkler to be stationed, and basically didn't use it. He lives in Gu Ninghou's Mansion on weekdays. Today's opening of the Hou Mansion is also for other things!
Now Liu Haojia is sitting in the lobby, and there are two rows of more than a dozen people kneeling in front of him! Most of them were tailfish and some leaders, and two of the remaining people were Jinyiwei who were caught with the tailfish. There were also three people, the middle-aged scribe sent by the salt merchant to contact the tailless fish, and two retinues!
The tailless fish looked fine, and they didn't look like they were being abused. And the other five were not so much kneeling there, but lying there with force! Look at their faces and shapes, as if they have suffered a great sin! And there is a rope tied to the body, and the mouth is gagged!
But the strange thing is that although Liu Haojia kept staring at them, he never spoke, as if he was waiting for someone! After a while, there was the sound of footsteps, and then Zhang Jia walked into the main hall wearing casual clothes with a little eunuch in the same casual clothes!
He and Liu Haojia have a good relationship, which is considered a good family, and they don't even need to report when they enter the door. But as soon as he entered the door and was about to speak, he was startled by the two rows of people kneeling in the main hall! Then he showed a look of surprise.
At this time, Liu Haojia had already gotten up and said, "Zhang Banban, you still have to work to run in person, it's really hard!"
After returning the salute, Zhang Jia said, "Our family is still thinking about it, how can we ask our family to change into casual clothes and bring people here, it turns out that you have such a group of people here!" But what are you doing with them kneeling here so neatly?"
After saying that, he looked the group up and down, and said casually, "These people look like bandits! These two people are obviously from the army! As for these three people, they seem to be the master servants of scholars! These people are all over the world, how do you get them together?"
Liu Haojia laughed when he heard this, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Zhang Banban's ability is really getting higher and higher, and you can see the origin of these people at a glance, and it's really amazing!"
Then Liu Haojia took Zhang Jia to the tailless fish, pointed at them and said, "These people are all water bandits on the river, they were instructed by those salt merchants to intercept and kill the salt fleet on the river, but they failed and were captured! However, they know that their family is already mortal, so they are willing to give an account of everything, and only want to spare their family, which I think I can promise them!"
Zhang Jia said, "This is a small problem! A few ant-like figures, let it go, let it go! But I'm afraid they'll have to walk twice in the church before they can believe their confessions!"
