Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 60
"Li Ze? Are you from the Li family?" When the other four families heard Li Ze's name, their eyes were burning with anger, and they all turned to the thin Li Ji.

"Bah! Don't talk nonsense, if my Li family has a way to make refined salt, can I still be with you today?" Li Ji spit at the door angrily, then turned his head and said:

"I sent someone to check the kid's life experience. It is rumored that he is a lonely boy who lived in Du Village. Later, he acquired medical skills inexplicably and opened a medical clinic in Du Village. It has nothing to do with me, Mrs. Li."

"Besides, even if there is, I won't let my own people cut off their own money, will I?"

Although Li Ji was weak, his gaze was not weak at all, and he scanned the other four families sharply.

Soon, Li Ze's name was deeply imprinted in the minds of these people.

"Li Ze! What a boy!" Lu Junyan clenched his fists, trembling with anger: "Don't let me find any chance, or he will definitely make him pay a terrible price!"

Cui Yang sneered, knocked on the table and said: "Don't talk big here, the most urgent thing now is how to find a market for the tens of thousands of stones of coarse salt we have on hand, we can't really let us Eat this thing?"

"It's more than 5 shi. I'm afraid our five families may not be able to eat it all when it comes to our grandchildren!"

As soon as Cui Yang's words fell, the whole room suddenly fell into dead silence again.

Looking for a outlet?
If they could be found, the five families would not be gathered in this room today.

"That's all! Find some people to keep an eye on the market. If someone wants to collect this batch of coarse salt, I will discuss it later!" Zheng Yan turned around and stood up, leading his servants to leave.

"Hey! Just leave? The table hasn't moved yet!" The host Wang Xiao got up to stop him, but Zheng Yan waved his hand and said:

"That's all! I'm not in the mood to eat, so leave!"

Chang'an City, Imperial Study Room.

In Li's second-hand hand, he was holding a piece of wooden tablet, on which were densely packed statistics on the quantity and income of refined salt sold in the eastern and western cities, other workshops, and the surrounding areas of Chang'an City in the past three days.

The total income is more than 55 taels, and more than [-] shi of corn.

Many people who have no money choose to use grain as an exchange. The price of [-] cash per bucket is not unacceptable to most people. After all, it is the price of a bucket, not the price of a joint.

Most of the large purchases are officials or businessmen from various places.

"Not bad! Not bad! This salt industry is really huge profits!" Li Er held the wooden tablet in his hand, his hands trembling as if he had found a treasure.

Changsun Wuji and others were also overjoyed to see Li Erlong Yan Dayue.

Fang Xuanling cupped her hands towards Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, the informant placed in the black market by Wei Chen recently received news that a young man came to inquire about the price of coarse salt. According to the informant, the young man offered three hundred yuan. After one bucket, the salt seller finally gave up a price of 350 Wen, but the young master didn't seem to want to accept it, and left without looking back."

"Weichen thinks that it might be a guest of Pei Ji's family or... one of his sons. In Weichen's opinion, it should be time for us to take back the coarse salt they have hoarded."

The rest of the ministers also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the time when the Royal Salt Store's sales are at its best. Most people can't focus on coarse salt for a while, and things may change over time!"

Li Eryan put the wooden tablet aside with a smile, looked up at the ministers and said, "What do you think is the most appropriate price for accepting their coarse salt?"

"Hiss—this..." Everyone rubbed their chins and stroked their beards, looking around with embarrassment on their faces.

"Why don't we take back all the coarse salt on the market according to the price given by that young master, three hundred coins a bucket." Changsun Wuji stood up first.

Since the informant said that there is still room for maneuver, it is natural that it is most appropriate to go to the bottom at a price of [-] Wen a dou. Not surprisingly, the coarse salt should be recovered at a price of [-] Wen a dou.

"No, no, no... In my opinion, if the peddler can get back to 350 renminbi, he must be able to continue to make concessions. For so many days, those salt peddlers must have rarely come to inquire about the price. If we give 250 renminbi a piece The low price of the bucket, the salt dealer will inevitably continue to make concessions, and may be able to get it back at a price of [-] yuan a bucket." Fang Xuanling also sat up straight quickly, and cupped his hands at Li Er.

The ministers talked a lot, but they basically put the reserve price at around [-] Wen, without making too many concessions.

"Okay, then at the price of two hundred coins a bucket, Fang Shangshu, I will leave this matter to you." Li Er smiled and waved his sleeves.

Just when he was about to stand up, Wei Zheng suddenly smiled and stood up first: "Sure enough, as His Royal Highness expected, you really can't think of a lower price."

"Everyone, now my royal fine salt is like a scourge, and it has already spread all over Chang'an City. It is already a great favor for those salt dealers to have someone collect coarse salt. Why do we need to take it back at a price of two hundred coins a bucket? "

"Master Li once told the veterans that after the establishment of the Royal Salt Store, coarse salt will inevitably be in an embarrassing situation where ordinary people don't want to buy it and rich people don't like it. At this time, as long as someone accepts it, it will be a good thing for those salt dealers. One thing, as long as we come forward as officials of the DPRK and Central Committee, and take back all the coarse salt in their hands at the price of [-] yuan per bucket in the name of rectifying private salt, these people will have to take action."

"At the same time, the market price has been slightly lowered to [-] Wen a bucket. Seeing that the price of refined salt continues to fall, they will only sell the coarse salt in their hands more urgently, regardless of the price!"

As soon as Wei Zheng's price was announced, everyone in the room stared at Wei Zheng with big eyes like bulls and exclaimed, "What? Fifty cents a bucket? That's too low!"

In Li Er's ears, he only heard Wei Zheng's words: "Said Doctor Li."

Then he looked at Wei Zheng with surprise on his face: "What Minister Wei said is serious? Ze'er really said that?"

If Wei Zheng said this sentence, he probably wouldn't believe it.

But if it was Li Ze who gave him the idea, then Li Er would definitely believe it, and would not have any other ideas except surprise.

My eldest son has given him too many surprises recently, which made him feel a little elated.

"Of course it is true. If His Majesty does not believe it, the old minister is willing to come forward and take back all the coarse salt at the price of fifty renminbi per bucket. But before that, the price of refined salt needs to be lowered a little." Wei Zheng looked up confidently, Besides Li Er, the guy who trusts Li Ze the most is Wei Zheng.

Moreover, Wei Zheng's acting style is also very suitable for doing things with sticks and candies.

Threatening and persuading at the same time, the probability of doing this will become very high.

Li Er hurriedly stood up, patted Wei Zheng's shoulder with a happy face and said, "Okay! Good! Good! Since Wei Xiangmao recommended himself, I will entrust you with this great task. Don't say fifty words. Anything within a hundred words is fine!"
