Chapter 56: Turning a Blind Eye
Two million salt, even if it is the Yang family, I am afraid it will be very difficult!
But Xiao Liuzi represents the Yang family, and His Majesty wants to reduce the price of salt, but if people send money to buy high-priced salt, it will be too uninteresting not to collect it!
At present, Wang Chaogui said that the price of salt will fluctuate after a while, so he is advised not to buy so much, in case he loses money, it will not be good.
But at this time, Xiao Liuzi was begged every day, holding more than one million salt in his hands, and the feeling of not daring to sell it when he saw the price increase had already carried him away.
And Wang Chaogui said that the price of salt has changed, but he remembered what the master said, if the salt output is to be reduced, the price will increase.
If that were the case, he would have made 20 percent of the profits.
So do a vote?
"Lord Wang, it is normal for the price of salt to fluctuate, you don't have to worry about making money, and you don't have to worry about losing money, I just want to ask Lord Wang to open up the net, can you give me a special approval for a little salt, my lord knows that he must be grateful......"
Xiao Liuzi relied on the backstage of the Yang family, wanting to exchange favors for salt, and even mentioned Yang Fu, the head of the household.
That's the Yang family.
"Okay, the salt can be given to you, but this time you have to sign a contract for me, you can't blame me for the price increase or fall of salt, because I am about to issue a notice here, and I will not exchange salt for the time being, because the price of salt will be lowered by ......"
Wang Chaogui looked at Xiao Liuzi with a smile, but he took it as a joke.
"Hahaha, Wang Shilang said with a smile, the price of salt has risen in the rainy season for decades, and after buying one or two million salt from you and our house, can the price of this salt still fall?"
The salt production of the salt well is fixed, and the lord has asked the people of Qin Tianjian that this is the rainy season next.
Usually the Yang family buys 500,000 taels of silver salt, and the salt everywhere will be nervous and will rise in price, in the same situation, the Yang family bought 1.5 million silver of salt, and all the big salt merchants can't get the salt, will the price of this salt fall?
This is to coax children!
So Xiao Liuzi was determined to buy 500,000 yuan of salt, and Wang Chaogui simply agreed, asking him to prepare silver and sign the contract.
This time, Xiao Liuzi was greedy, calculating that he actually had more than 100,000 taels of silver in his hands, and the salt merchants who begged him to buy cash outside all sent the money to him.
This makes Xiao Liuzi not worry at all, what salt price will be reduced, because their master, when will it be wrong?
After returning to the inn, Xiao Liuzi let out a rumor, he had salt to sell here, and suddenly those big salt merchants who couldn't find a way out and had been anxiously waiting for the salt to come out were all moved, wondering if they should buy high-priced salt from Xiao Liuzi?
At this time, a notice was issued from Yanjing, that is, there was no salt to sell for the time being for three to ten days, which was to adjust the price of salt in the future.
As soon as the news came out, the salt merchants waiting near the salt well were in an uproar.
If it weren't for the big red official seal stamped on it, everyone would think that this was a joke.
But even so, not many people believe it, because they have waited so long and have not bought salt, and they see that the production of salt is about to enter a low period.
According to the experience of more than ten years, the next thing should be the price of salt, how can the price fall?
The most important thing is that now in addition to the salt well, no, there is no salt to sell on the salt well, and only the Yang family has a large amount of salt for the time being, because all the salt produced on the salt well some time ago was sold to the Yang family.
Who is the Yang family?
To say a disrespectful word, the emperors all take turns to sit, but the Yang family has not fallen for hundreds or even thousands of years, this is the largest gate valve in the Great Sui Dynasty, and the family is rich enough to rival the country.
Will such people suffer?
Will you hoard a lot of salt when the salt industry is plummeting?
No one believed this, so the government's announcement that the price of salt would be reduced in ten days was directly ignored, and even ridiculed as a joke.
So Xiao Liuzi let out the rumors, he had fresh salt in his hand to sell, but after he had to add two to three percent of the price, many big salt merchants hated the itchy roots, but in the end they had to give in.
I thought it would be good to get some fresh salt from Xiao Liuzi's side.
It's just that there isn't much salt over there, and if you want to order salt, you have to queue up, queue up to pay the money, and the family can't get 50,000 taels of silver at a time, which is really discouraging.
But there are still many people who believe in the Yang family, and they go to Xiao Liuzi to line up to buy cash salt.
At this time, on the side of the salt well, the equipment for boiling salt has been rolled out, and the salt workers who originally worked hard to carry salt water to the bottom of the well have become even busier, almost changing shifts day and night.
Yanjing began to recruit a large number of salt workers, and many people came to hear the news, this salt worker is a fat man.
Although it's hard, but it's not hard, the key is to give money and money to talk about it, and you can still have extra income, that is, if you are under the salt well, you will get yourself wet.
When I came back in the evening, I managed to get the brine out of this garment and dry it, which was comparable to the salt of gold, and much more than the salary I got in the salt well!
So every day outside the salt well is lined up with people who want to go to work as salt workers.
The salt merchants outside actually heard the news, and so did Xiao Liuzi.
Recruiting salt workers shows that there are not enough workers in the salt well, according to the previous practice, the more salt workers, the output of the salt industry will be more, but looking at this gray sky, it has not been sunny.
Xiao Liuzi is not worried at all, there is no sun, Yanjing is to recruit 10,000 salt workers, the output of salt will not be high, how can the price of salt fall if the output of salt is not high?
At the same time, there was another announcement from Yanjing, which means that there will be a large amount of salt in the future, and the price of salt will be determined by His Majesty.
The meaning is very clear, that is, to tell everyone that the price of salt is going to be reduced!
This will make some salt merchants a little suspicious, the government made a mistake in one notice, how can there be a second wrong notice?
Is it really said that the price of salt is going to fall?
It's impossible, it's impossible at all, but this notice involves Your Majesty, there shouldn't be that official who dares to use Your Majesty to brush it, that's a big deal to lose your head!
But the people of the Yang family have entered so much salt, and they are still continuing to set salt, they can't be so stupid!
Therefore, whether to believe that the government believes in His Majesty or believes in the Yang family is a difficult problem.
In Daxing Palace, Yang Guang had already received a secret fold from Wang Chaogui, and knew that everything was ready, and the rest should be done by himself!
In the early morning of the next day, after Yang Guang asked those eunuchs and palace maids to dress themselves, they were directly sent to the Jinluan Palace in a luan sedan chair, and the ministers lined up in two rows and kowtowed to him in unison!
Emperor Yang of Sui looked down and was majestic, today he was going to do something big enough to change the fortune of the Great Sui Dynasty!
