After transmigrating into cannon fodder, he had sex with the villain
Chapter 305 The price of salt has fallen
Fan Juren turned around and sent someone to the Salt Transportation Department to inquire. In fact, both he and Gu Zhao knew what the result would be. Does the current situation of the salt field in the south of the Yangtze River have nothing to do with the Salt Transportation Department?No one will believe it if I tell it to anyone, but this is a process that must go through, and only after going through it can I throw a heavy punch openly.
The people sent by the government office were kicked out without even seeing Mr. Shi, declaring that this matter has nothing to do with them, everything was caused by Gu Zhao and Gu Mu, and they should be responsible After receiving such a reply, both Fan Juren and Gu Zhao were very happy. Anyway, these results were truthfully written in the notebook and sent to the capital.
Usually, a catty of salt is 35 Wen, but within a few days, the price of salt outside has been driven up to [-] Wen per catty. If this trend continues, it is very possible that it will eventually increase several times.
Master Shi asked his confidants around him: "How much is the price of salt now?"
"Today it's [-] Wen a catty, but many shops would rather stock up on salt. The common people are getting nervous about the price of salt."
"Very good, I'm here to write the envelope and pass it on. Someone deliberately disrupted the salt market." Lord Shi wanted to teach those two boys to be good this time. Do whatever you want?Without salt, even His Majesty has nothing to do.
Mr. Shi quickly wrote a copy and handed it out, and Gu Zhao and Gu Mu's work was just a matter of front and back.
Mr. Tong is in a hurry. Originally, he has been maintaining order at the private salt factory, so the population needs to be rearranged. In the past few days, in addition to providing them with delicious food and drink, he also arranged for a doctor to check everyone's health. Anyway, the health None of them are good, there are more or less problems.
At this time, he heard that the price of salt outside had risen, Master Tong came to ask Gu Mu: "Those bastards have made a move, what are you going to do?"
In fact, those salt merchants still have a lot of salt in their hands, but they just hold it in their hands to artificially create tension and push up the price of salt. As long as there is salt, these problems will naturally be solved.
Gu Mu said calmly: "Since Master Tong is here, please trouble Master Tong to make another trip to pick up the goods."
Master Tong wanted to scold when he heard it: "You boy is good at instigating me to run errands. Before that, you either ransacked your home or arrested people. This time, you became a escort? No, what kind of goods did you ask me to bring someone to pick up? Where did you come from?"
"Master Tong will know when he's gone. Master Tong's barracks also need to consume a lot of salt. Don't worry, Master Tong will not be missing."
Mr. Tong was dubious, but he still led a group of soldiers out of the city according to what Gu Mu said. When he arrived at the place Gu Mu said, he didn't wait long before he saw a long convoy, each of which was loaded with goods. When he saw Mr. Tong and the officers and soldiers, he stopped vigilantly.
One person came out and asked loudly, "Who is it?"
"Someone came to let us pick up the shipment, but you?"
"But it was sent by Master Gu Mu? The master who is next to the magistrate of Xiayao City."
As soon as he heard that it was from Yao Cheng, Master Tong came out immediately, both of them were pleasantly surprised, they recognized each other, thanks to Chao Wan's family last time, Master Fu knew this Master Tong very well, and the two sides reunited smoothly.
After merging, Mr. Tong looked curiously at the goods shipped by the convoy: "What exactly are these goods?"
Master Fu was stunned for a moment: "Didn't the lord tell Master Tong?"
"That kid is playing tricks on me. The price of salt in Jiangnan City has risen a lot, but that kid doesn't seem nervous or worried at all."
Master Fu laughed: "That's a coincidence, what we transported happened to be salt."
"What? These cars are full of salt?" Master Tong said in surprise, "Where did you get the salt? Did that kid prepare it long ago?"
Master Fu smiled and said: "It is our lord who accepted His Majesty's secret decree and built a salt field in Yaocheng for salt production. The salt produced is no worse than that of Jiangnan, and the efficiency is higher. No, the first batch of salt produced Immediately sent it to Sir Gu and Lord Gu.”
Mr. Tong swallowed his saliva with a thud. It really is His Majesty who wants to deal with these salt merchants. The guy surnamed Shi who dragged [-] to [-] yuan will be in bad luck. If so much salt is sent to the south of the Yangtze River, how can ordinary people do it? Lack of salt to eat.
He whispered to Master Fu: "Since it is His Majesty's secret decree, is it okay for you to tell me?"
"Haha, the secret decree will soon become a clear decree." The appearance of this batch of salt in the south of the Yangtze River means that everything can be made public. Mr. Tong is indeed a cautious general.
Master Tong asked his soldiers to protect the convoy. This batch of goods is indeed very important and must be delivered safely.
After Master Fu entered the city with Mr. Tong, he found that the faces of the people in the city were really worried. Mr. Tong also listened to it. In less than a day after he left, the price of salt increased from [-] yuan. It's sixty.
"Black heart, those guys are really black hearted!"
"They won't be crazy for a long time." Master Fu watched the snow-like salt produced in the salt ponds one by one, but the manpower and material resources invested in it were much lower than the old-fashioned method of boiling salt. Knowing how much impact it will have on the original salt merchants, and as long as the weather is good, there will be a steady stream of salt out of the sun.
After the batch of salt was delivered, Gu Zhao and Gu Mu didn't talk too much about the old days with Master Fu, and directly released a notice stating that the government has salt, and there is a large amount of salt. Retailers can come to the government to wholesale salt and go back, but this batch of salt Price is limited.
The wholesale price is ten Wen per catty, and the selling price should not exceed eighteen Wen. At the same time, batches of salt are also placed in official stores, and the retail price is directly set at fifteen Wen per catty.
At first, the common people couldn’t believe their ears: “It’s really only 35 renminbi? Before the price increase, it cost [-] renminbi a catty. This is more than half the price. It can’t be fake salt.”
In the private salt market, there are indeed people who sell fake salt to the common people, defrauding the common people of their money.
"It can't be fake salt. It's the salt sold by the government. If Mr. Gu released it, Mr. Gu is a good official. How can he deceive the common people." He went to the official shop to buy a few catties of salt and kept it. The price of salt had risen so much that it made him feel distressed.
"I'll go too, and you'll know the truth if you taste it there."
Those shops that sell salt are also very confused. Is there really salt in the government, or is it a large amount of salt?
"Didn't the officers and soldiers escort the convoy into the city just now, maybe what they sent was salt. Mr. Gu and the others had already prepared for it, knowing that those salt merchants would fight the government to increase the price of salt, so they had already prepared the salt. "
"Ten cents a catty, it's too cheap, no, I have to go and see for myself, if the salt is really all right, I'll buy more, even if it sells for fifteen cents, it can make a lot of money. "
Those salt merchants doubted their ears. How could the two boys surnamed Gu have magical powers to conjure so much salt?
"Impossible! Even if they transfer from other places, it is impossible to give them so much salt. Most of the goods delivered by the convoy must be used to confuse our sight. Maybe the bag is full of sand. Wait , Let's see how long they can sell!"
When Mr. Shi heard the news, he felt that the heads of the two boys surnamed Gu were broken, so he turned around and sent another note to the capital to file a complaint.
Ten cents a catty?Then even the cost can't be recovered. The two bastards surnamed Gu are deliberately disrupting the Jiangnan salt industry market.
But one day, two days, three days passed, people continued to go to the government office to get salt, but there was still salt delivered in the government office, and there was a long queue in front of the official shop, and the people behind were afraid that they would not be able to buy this cheap salt. But no matter how long the queue was, they could still buy it, and the white salt was better than the salt they bought before.
As the days go by, first the salt merchants will not be able to sit still. Based on their estimates and Gu Zhao’s sales method, they will not be able to persist for a day or two. You must know that they have no purchase restrictions, and they will not be able to continue after a few days. I don't know how many catties of salt have been sprinkled, and if we continue to sell it like this, it is estimated that the people in the south of the Yangtze River will not be short of salt to eat in a year or two, so wouldn't the salt they hoarded be thrown into their own hands?
Salt can only be turned into silver if it is sold. If it cannot be sold, it is a pile of waste.
A few people rushed to find Mr. Shi, and told Mr. Shi to think of a way. Seeing that Gu Zhao and Gu Mu were not nervous at all, they suspected that those cars were filled with salt before, and none of the bags were fake. , are all their own imaginations.
Lord Shi was also so worried that he lost a lot of hair. Although the booklet was sent to Beijing, he didn't know if Gu Zhao and Gu Mu did it with confidence.
"Now they have to figure out where they get their salt, and if it's so cheap, they're selling it at a loss."
"My people saw Master Fu from Yaocheng beside Dai Zhifu. He went back to Yaocheng before, and now he came with the convoy again, indicating that the salt was obtained from Yaocheng, but Yaocheng Where did you get so much salt?"
Who doesn't know the relationship between the prefect of Yaocheng and Gu Zhao, that is his second uncle, who obviously sided with Gu Zhao to help him, but even if he is the prefect of Yaocheng, he has the power and ability to mobilize such a large amount of salt?How long will it take to accumulate, and how many salt workers will need to work day and night to produce it?
"Hurry up and find someone to go to Yaocheng to inquire about the situation."
"Yes, the problem lies in Yaocheng, and the problem can be solved by finding out the situation in Yaocheng."
At this time, there was a lot of movement in the court hall of the capital because of the booklets sent by Mr. Shi. Those two guys went to the south of the Yangtze River. What should the Yan Division do? Many officials felt that they had caught evidence of Gu Zhao and Gu Mu's crimes, and they had severely charged the two at the court meeting. They should be escorted back to the capital for interrogation immediately.
These two guys have left the capital, and they still have the ability to disturb the capital, so there is no time for peace.
"The price of salt in the capital is not that low. What do they think? How will the Salt Transportation Department collect the salt tax? What about the treasury? They are trying to pry the court into the wall."
It seems that Gu Zhao and Gu Mu have become the court's thousand-year-old sinners. If they are not escorted to Beijing, the Great Zhou Dynasty will soon collapse.
The people sent by the government office were kicked out without even seeing Mr. Shi, declaring that this matter has nothing to do with them, everything was caused by Gu Zhao and Gu Mu, and they should be responsible After receiving such a reply, both Fan Juren and Gu Zhao were very happy.
