Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"This group of businessmen dare to hoard and try to sabotage our Great Qin's New Deal on Salt and Iron. They are so audacious!"

Liu Bowen said without hesitation: "To deal with such profiteers, we must use thunderous means! All of them will be arrested and brought to justice, and they will be interrogated strictly!"

"Catch them, it's too cheap for them!"

Ying Zigao sneered and said, "If you catch them, you will also have the reputation of competing with the people for profit! It's not worth it."

Liu Bowen hurriedly asked, "Then what does His Majesty mean?"

Ying Zi said coldly, "I'm going to make them lose all their wealth this time, and make them completely pauper!"

Hearing this, Liu Bowen, Yu Huatian, and other ministers were secretly shocked.

Liu Bowen's heart tightened even more.

He deeply knows that for these big businessmen who have been doing business for generations and have a lot of money.The terrible thing is not going to jail, what really killed them was the loss of their family wealth and complete bankruptcy!
After all, if you go to jail for a crime, the business can still be taken over by the family, and the family wealth can continue to be inherited.

But once the family property is lost, the accumulation of hard work of several generations will be turned into ruins!

The emperor's move was really accurate and ruthless, directly hitting the fate of these profiteers!

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Liu Bowen asked hastily.

"I'm fully prepared!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "Your Ministry of Industry must speed up the construction of the major government-run salt farms! Especially the major government-run salt farms in the north must focus on advancing!"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly agreed: "My minister complies with the order!"

Ying Zigao then said to the Minister of the Household Department: "Your Household Department also needs to raise funds to fully support the construction of the government-run salt farm!"

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said: "I understand!"

The servant of the Ministry of Finance immediately asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to take measures to stop the actions of profiteers?"

"Don't worry about them, let them do it!" Ying Zi said loudly!

Under Ying Zigao's order, the list of the first batch of official saltworks was quickly determined.

Immediately afterwards, they hired craftsmen and peasants with great fanfare, mobilized livestock, money, food and materials, and built it at full speed!
The construction of inland salt farms has also been vigorously promoted, and the eight large salt farms that have been built have been vigorously produced.

The [-] catties of salt every day are all transported to the warehouse in Xianyang City and stored properly.

Looking at the salt bags piled up in the warehouse, Ying Zigao's heart was full of confidence!

"Your Majesty, the big salt merchants in Qidi will do their best to purchase the salt from the East China Sea Salt Field!"

The officials who monitored the merchants in Qidi soon sent a report.

Looking at the report, Yuhuatian and Liu Bowen frowned.

Yu Huatian hurriedly said, "It's been [-] days in a row, and we've bought out all the salt in the East Sea Salt Field! The East Sea Salt Field is out of stock!"

Liu Bowen also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's time to give an order to stop the salt merchants!"

Ying Zigao said indifferently, "Don't worry about them."

Liu Bowen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you don't stop them, I'm afraid these profiteers will cause trouble!"

"They are not afraid to hold on, so let them continue to eat it all!"

Ying Zigao laughed coldly: "When the time comes, I will make them spit out all their capital and profits! Let them go bankrupt!"

At this time, the big salt merchants in Qidi have already found it difficult to support them.

"The output of the Donghai Salt Field is really too big!"

A large salt merchant frowned when he saw the salt piled up in the warehouse: "The daily production is 60 jin, and a catty costs two cents, which is 600 renminbi, and after ten days, it is [-] million renminbi!

In addition to the salt produced by our own salt field and the salt on the market, after ten days, nearly 800 million yuan has been wasted just by hoarding salt! "

"There is also money for hoarding firewood!" Another salt merchant also hurriedly said: "The firewood for five hundred miles around is not a small amount! We have already spent nearly 200 million yuan!"

The chubby salt merchant settled the accounts carefully, and couldn't help but look pained: "Including the money for hoarding salt, it's 1000 million yuan!"

"Mr. Tian, ​​everyone can't hold it anymore!" The leading salt merchant hurriedly said to Tian Chuan: "Shall we slow down for a while?"

"You only spent 1000 million yuan, are you reluctant?"

Tian Chuan said with a cold smile!

"Mr. Tian, ​​we never meant that!" The leading salt merchant said hastily, "I just don't know how long it will last."

"Yes, Mr. Tian." The tall salt merchant also hurriedly said: "The output of the Donghai Salt Field is increasing day by day, and there is no sign of slowing down. If you eat all the more than 3 catties of salt every day, everyone's pressure is getting bigger!

I don't know when I will see the result! "

Hearing this, Tian Chuan couldn't help but smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, everyone, Tian has asked the great wizard. The great wizard must tell Tian that there will be heavy rain within 5 days!
And the rainy weather will last at least 15 days! "

Hearing this, the big salt merchants secretly sighed.

Last time, Tagawa said that there would be a heavy rain within 15 days.

As a result, 15 days have passed, but the sun is still shining brightly, and there is no sign of rain!

The output of the East China Sea Salt Field is increasing day by day!

The money spent on hoarding salt is increasing.

If this goes on, the loss will be huge.

"If everyone still trusts Tian, ​​just wait another five days for Tian!"

Seeing the hesitation of the big salt merchants, Tian Chuan couldn't help feeling angry, and said loudly: "If it doesn't rain within five days, everyone will stop hoarding salt!

The money everyone has paid these days has caused losses, and Tian will also compensate for it! "

Looking at Tian Chuan's confident eyes, especially his resounding words, the big salt merchants' hearts suddenly became warm.

Businessmen are bold and adventurous, allowing them to make bold decisions.

The leading salt merchant glanced at the other salt merchants inquiringly, and then said seriously: "Mr. Tian, ​​since we have decided to follow your orders, we will not change! Let's continue this business together!"

"Tian, ​​thank you for your trust!" Tian Chuan arched his hands and said, "Everyone just wait patiently for five days! Within five days, there will be heavy rain near the Donghai Salt Field! The rainy weather will last at least 15 days!"

While talking, Tian Chuan said confidently: "At that time, it's time for everyone to show their talents and sell salt at a high price to make a lot of money!"

As soon as the meeting ended, the big salt merchants took action immediately.

Don't hesitate to pay, and eat all the salt produced by the Donghai Salt Field that day!

The inventory of the East China Sea Salt Field is only enough to guarantee the people of Qidi for three days, and the rest of the salt is all sold out!
"The East China Sea Salt Field still has a stockpile, which is enough to meet the needs of the local people for three days?"

As soon as he heard the news, Tian Chuan couldn't help but his expression changed, and he frowned...
