One hundred and four, bloody battle to the end and shrewd Xue Pan
So it was another bloody battle, the Hou family has gone, there is one less giant, but the battle situation is no sign of easing, the rest of the little sharks also showed their sharp teeth, towards the southwest and northwest of the salt lead violently bite, the salt merchants of the two Huai, has always only been sold in Jinling, Jiangxi, Fengyang, Huguang and other places, if these places are discussed, the sales of salt have been saturated, if you want to grow your income rapidly, this is obviously not possible, then opening up the market is the best way, originally if you are a mess across the line, The rest of the places will attack it, and they will die very miserably, which is not in accordance with the rules, but now there are two places of salt in hand, starting from Jinling Province in the east, all the way to the west, all the way to the northwest, all the provinces on this road can not stop these salt merchants holding salt leads, this charm and temptation are so great that even Hou Jing has to give up his face to get a piece of the pie, and there is no need to explain why the big guy decisively abandoned Yang Belun and Hou Jing's faction after hearing the new salt introduction in the two places.
After making such a fuss, this 10,000 pieces of salt quotation has repeatedly been auctioned at a new high price, "300 pieces of salt quotation from Southwest Wudusi, 1.5 million taels!" Little Guiyuan Wu family! ”
"Northwest Lop Nur Zangbu Dan Khanate salt quotation 400 sheets, 2.31 million taels! Ximen House in Baiyi Lane! ”
Tang Yisong was taken aback, this price is simply against the sky! The Wu family and the Ximen family can only be regarded as medium-sized salt merchants, and they are still in the bottom position among the three hundred arhats, how can they have this courage, no, it is not courage, but they have such a large financial resource to support such a huge expenditure!
Tang Yisong and Ma Song both sat behind their respective heads of the family, the two of them sat side by side, Tang Yisong saw that there were people in the audience who were ecstatic, some people were disappointed and lamented, some people looked down, and some people looked calm, with a calm smile, he looked around, and whispered to Ma Song and asked, "Brother Ma, where did these people get so much silver?" You must know that you can't quote indiscriminately here. ”
Ma Song smiled slightly, "Second Master Tang still doesn't know where these people's money bags come from?" It's all Lord Xue's business. ”
"Brother Ruyue means ......"
"Lord Xue supports these little salt merchants," Ma Song said with a smile, he leaned on Tang Yisong's ear and said, "Lord Xue is not in the business of ticket numbers?" He had come out this afternoon with a lot of silver tickets, and he would provide them all if they had something to pledge. ”
"But Lord Xue's ticket number, the business in Yangzhou City is not big." Tang Yisong Hu wondered, "Did they give out so many silver tickets, so much silver?" ”
"Confused, Second Master Tang," Ma Song smiled lightly, after such a time to assist Xue Pan in handling the matter of the salt introduction and reform, Ma Song's vision was much broader, and he was very disdainful of Tang Yisong's questions, "The salt introduction and reform faction are all decided by Lord Xue, and his own silver ticket is taken and handed over, doesn't Lord Xue recognize it?" The silver ticket of the Xue family's ticket number, here in the Baihua Hall, is the most effective. ”
"In this way, who is afraid of running out of money? If you don't have any money, just ask the Xue family ticket number to borrow it," Ma Song said with a smile, "As long as the big guy pays some interest, these nine hundred and ninety-nine times are all kneeling, are you still afraid of the last trembling?" Don't hide it from Second Master Tang, my Ma family also borrowed a lot of silver tickets, and the big guys don't have so much cash, do they? This is also a way to repay Lord Xue. ”
Tang Yisong tapped Ma Song's nose with the folding fan in his hand, "Okay, you are like a brother-in-law!" You didn't even tell me about such a thing! ”
"Don't dare, the Tang family is the richest, are you afraid that you won't have so many millions of taels of silver to raise?"
"Brother Ruyue, you also said that you want to repay Lord Xue, but you don't care about such a little interest money, that's right, so much principal has been released, and I'm afraid that such a little interest won't work?" Tang Yisong and his brother, the head of the Tang family, said a few words, waved his hand to let the steward in, and handed his seal to the steward, after the steward went out, he took a package in after a while, Tang Yisong opened it and saw that there were thirty silver tickets with the Xue family's "Renfu" ticket number of 100,000 taels, a total of three million taels.
In the middle of the night, the price soared from the original 4,000 taels to 6,000 or 7,000, and the highest one was obtained by the Liu family, bidding 8,930 taels.
This bid is already comparable to the amount of taxes paid in half of Jinling Province for a year, which shows that the salt merchants are really wealthy.
The overall situation has been decided, countless silver has been received in an uproar, Xue Pan also knows that today's errand has been done, looked at the pocket watch has reached almost ten o'clock, he turned his head, was about to say something to Jia Yucun beside him, suddenly someone came outside, leaned in Xue Pan's ear and bit Xue Pan's ear, Xue Pan suddenly changed color when he heard this, and stood up suddenly.
The big guy originally saw that Xue Pan's face was wrong, and he was still arguing about something, so he suddenly stopped, and Shangguan Yunfei asked cautiously: "My lord, but is there something wrong?" ”
"How much salt is there?"
Qi Dazhuang counted and replied to Xue Pan, "There are more than 1,600 sheets." ”
"The next matters will be handled by Mr. Jia," Xue Pan said quickly, "If there is anything, just send someone to the Lin Mansion to find me." It's not right now, when the matter is over, I'll punish the host again, and ask the big guy to talk about it. ”
He quickly turned around and left, and did not return the salute to everyone, and walked straight out of the Flower Pavilion, the big guys looked at each other one after another, what else is going on, what else is there in the Lin Mansion, can it be more important than this matter of the salt introduction and reform faction?
Ma Song looked at Sang Hongyang, "Brother Sang, do you know what's going on?" ”
Sang Hongyang looked at Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun shook his head, "The student doesn't know, it's just that Master Xue has already arranged everything, let's hurry up." ”
Xue Pan didn't have time to change his clothes, hurriedly called the carriage, out of the Hundred Flowers Hall, at this time the sailor commanded the envoy of the small flag Ma Delu came to ask for peace, Xue Pan specially advised: "Today, we have received millions of silver in this garden!" If someone comes to do something wrong, but they have to lose their heads, but don't worry too much, this matter is easy to do, you tell the brothers, don't drink first, bother a little thought, this night must be properly arranged, don't have any mistakes, if this matter is done, Lord Lin will inevitably be able to break the book to protect all the meritorious people. He instructed such a paragraph, Ma Delu naturally did not deserve it, and there was no big mistake in being careful, "Especially the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, if anyone comes to make noise, don't pay attention to it, except for my handwritten letter, no one can enter the warehouse!" ”
