"That little inventory can only meet the needs of the people for three days!"

Seeing Tian Chuan's frown, the chubby salt merchant smiled indifferently and said, "Why should Mr. Tian care?"

"Three days' needs can't be left to them!"

Tian Chuan said bluntly: "We must find a way to buy up all the inventory and production of the Donghai Salt Field!"

"I'll do it now!" Fatty Salt Merchant hurriedly agreed.

Soon, the network of salt merchants in Qidi came to the officials in charge of the saltworks.

In the Qin Dynasty, the laws and regulations were strict and the officials were strict. After Ying Zigao ascended the throne, the requirements for officials became stricter.

In particular, the Supervisory Yuan was set up to supervise departments and positions such as the censor, and the supervision of officials was unprecedentedly strengthened.

Officials dare not commit illegal acts, for fear that people will catch their pigtails, lose their posts, or even be imprisoned and beheaded!
The officials of the salt field immediately reported the behavior of the big salt merchant to the superior officials.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is still in charge of the East China Sea Salt Farm, and he couldn't help being excited when he heard about this situation.

This is an opportunity.Take a chance.With a proper operation, these salt merchants will definitely go bankrupt!

If this matter is done well, the emperor will be satisfied and the emperor's favor and trust will be regained!

Thinking of this, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry called the officials in charge and said, "You just agree to their request and sell all the salt in stock!"

"My lord, don't dare to be in a humble position!"

No matter the official heard this, he couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said repeatedly: "The humble office has always kept its duty. Strictly abide by the law, no matter what is slightly overstepped!"

This time, as soon as I encountered the entrustment of these profiteers, I rushed to report to the adults!Don't dare to violate the law a little bit! "

"I know who you are, don't be nervous!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry smiled slightly: "I told you to do this, I have my own intentions! Don't worry!"

Hearing this, the official in charge felt a little relieved, but still looked nervously at Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

"Just do what I tell you boldly!" The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said seriously: "There is a minister to prove it for you, so you don't have to worry!"

"I obey!" The official in charge nodded and said.

"This time, you can sell the salt in stock at a higher price!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry then instructed: "It's better to sell a catty of salt for ten Wen!"

"Humble job understands!" The official in charge said hastily: "The humble job must hand in all the money it gets, and never keep a cent of it privately!"

"You are very law-abiding!" Minister of the Ministry of Industry nodded in satisfaction.

The official in charge got a clear instruction from the Ministry of Industry Minister, so he boldly came to the fat salt merchant.

"My lord, I'm asking you to do this, how are you thinking?" As soon as he saw the official in charge, the big salt merchant rushed to greet him, and said with a flattering smile on his face.

The official in charge frowned, and said with some hesitation: "This matter is really embarrassing!"

Hearing this, the fat salt merchant couldn't help being overjoyed.

The attitude of the officials in charge shows that there is a door to this matter!

"My lord, as long as you can do what the villain asked you to do, you can talk about anything!"

The fat salt merchant said hurriedly.As he spoke, he took out two golden ingots from his sleeve.

"Take things back!"

The officer in charge said hurriedly!

"My lord, this is the filial piety of a villain!"

The fat salt merchant hurriedly said: "After the matter is completed, the villain will have another big thank you!"

"Take it back quickly!"

The officer in charge said seriously!
When the fat businessman saw the attitude of the official in charge, he couldn't help being surprised.

The official in charge said hurriedly: "Sit down, let's talk about the salt!"

The fat businessman sat down with complicated emotions.

The official in charge refused to accept the gift at all, which made him feel uneasy.

"It's not impossible for you to buy salt in stock."

The official in charge looked at the fat businessman and said seriously: "But the price should be higher!"

"How much does it cost?" The fat businessman raised his brows and asked hurriedly.

"A catty of salt costs ten cents!" the official in charge said hastily.

"This is too expensive..." The fat businessman's heart tightened.Busily said.

The official in charge said impatiently: "That's the price, you can buy it if you want it, and if you don't, it's up to you!"

"My lord, can we discuss it?"

The fat businessman said hurriedly.

"That's the price, do you want to buy it or not?"

The official in charge was full of impatience: "If you don't buy it, please go! There are still a lot of things to do in this level!"

Talking, stood up, turned around and left.

"My lord, stop!" The fat businessman hastily grabbed the sleeve of the official in charge, and said, "Ten Wen per catty is ten Wen per catty. The villain bought it!"

Soon, the official in charge reported the incident to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and sent the copper coins to him.

"It's really worth the money!"

Looking at the copper coins, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry could not help but sneer, and then said: "I have already settled with the supervisory censor about this matter. Don't worry!"

"The humble official understands!" The official in charge was relieved and said hastily.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry continued: "You will also arrange the salt in stock for the next few days. Sell it to them at a high price!"

The official in charge hastily agreed: "I obey my orders!"

At this time, the fat salt merchant had already arrived in front of Tian Chuan.

With a painful face, he said: "Mr. Tian, ​​this time I paid a lot of money! I bought the salt in stock at a high price of ten cents per catty! Today, I spent a full one hundred thousand yuan!"

"As long as we can buy all the salt, we will be sure to win!"

Tian Chuan hurriedly said: "As long as there is a heavy rain, the salt in our hands can be sold at a high price, and the government-run salt farm can be severely hit!

As long as the government feels that the benefits of the government-run salt farms outweigh the losses, we can take back the salt business!At that time, the money spent can be earned back 10 times and a hundred times! "

"What Mr. Tian said is true." The fat salt merchant nodded, looking at the clear sky, he couldn't help frowning.

The fat salt merchant secretly became anxious: "I just don't know, will it rain in five days?"

In a blink of an eye, five days passed.

The sky is clear and there is no sign of rain!

The production of the East China Sea Salt Field is not only going smoothly, but the volume is also rising steadily.

To eat all the salt production in a row, the big salt merchants spent a lot of money.

One by one could hardly bear it anymore.

"It's been five days, why isn't it raining today?"

A big salt merchant said anxiously.

"Didn't Mr. Tian say that within five days, there must be heavy rain, and then there will be a full 15 days of cloudy and rainy weather!"

The fat salt merchant hurriedly said, "Everyone is just waiting patiently, why are you in a hurry?"
