Chapter 1096: Destruction of table salt
Zhang Yu began to pay attention to the price of salt in Changsha City, which was not useless.
Salt is very important, but it is not valued.
In life, as long as there is salt, then everyone will not pay much attention to it, but the princes attach great importance to it, because the salt tax has always been an important source of finance and taxation for the princes.
However, although it is important, in life, these princes did not pay much attention to the situation of table salt.
Salt, if you don't eat it for a while, you can't die.
As long as the people have food, as for salt, there are few people who are concerned.
Zhang Yu began to arrange.
"I'll give you ten days to find out if there are any other warehouses where salt is placed, whether it's Sun Ce's or other families."
Zhang Yu arranged it, and these intelligence officers would naturally carry it out faithfully.
After these people left, Zhang Yu called a group of intelligence officers.
"There's a salt warehouse here, you have to find a way to destroy it, get ready, wait for orders, and a granary not far away, too." Mu Han said.
These intelligence officers did not understand Zhang Yu's intentions, but they did not prevent them from carrying out them faithfully.
Several generals beside Zhang Yu, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and Huang Xu were very incomprehensible.
"My lord, what's the use of burning a salt warehouse." Dian Wei muttered.
Although Dian Wei was muttering, he was not questioning Zhang Yu's decision.
Several other generals did not speak, apparently they did not understand Zhang Yu's decision either.
Zhang Yu smiled, this is not easy to explain, can it tell them that people who have not eaten salt for a long time will have all kinds of diseases, and even feel weak.
"You also have work to do, starting today, inspect the surroundings, control all the cities within thirty miles, regardless of the personnel, and the goods are only allowed to go out and not enter."
"Especially for table salt, we must focus on seizing it, and once it is found, you are welcome, you can go directly to your home."
Zhang Yu wants to cut off their salt and make salt in Changsha City a scarce thing.
In fact, salt in Changsha City has long become a scarce item, but no one has paid attention to it.
Zhang Yu has long been cut off from the salt trade of the major princes, and after the price increase, he only traded with some families.
The price has risen, and everyone has saved a little, so these families do not buy a lot of goods, at least they dare not hoard a lot.
A few days later, information came from the city again.
Indeed, there is a Maison's warehouse with some table salt in it.
"You can't set fire to this salt, you can buy it, coerce and induce, and then dispose of it secretly." Zhang Yu ordered.
If two salt warehouses were burned, and one salt was not very much, then Sun Ce and the others would definitely be able to think of Zhang Yu's purpose immediately.
When the time comes, they may collect salt from all over the city and supply it to the army.
Intelligence officers quickly went to deal with it.
In the beginning, they paid a high price and bought some table salt.
Then it was secretly melted and then poured into some land, seeping into the ground and disappearing without a trace.
But the family still has some table salt in their hands.
This family, seeing that there is a profit, refuses to sell.
These intelligence agencies had no choice but to secretly control their family, take away the salt, and then destroy it.
"Sell it honestly and get a lot of money, why do you have to do it." An intelligence officer said to the head of the family surnamed Li.
The family surnamed Li was under control.
The whole person of the family surnamed Li was trembling, and suddenly, dozens of people in the family were controlled by more than a dozen people with knives, and it was impossible not to panic.
"Salt, money, you all take it, take it all, please don't kill people."
"It would be nice if we did this earlier, we will take all the salt, and there will be no left."
"Okay, okay, you all take it, and then let us go, let us go." The head of the family surnamed Li was pleading.
The intelligence officer shook his head, and then said: "Don't worry, we won't kill anyone, but during this period of time, none of you can leave, there are outsiders coming, you have to deal with it, if something goes wrong, your whole family's life will be gone." ”
The head of the family surnamed Li is threatened, where dare not cooperate.
At this time, Zhang Yu had already begun to plan to destroy another salt warehouse.
This warehouse is military, and the salt inside is terrifying in the tens of thousands of stones.
A few days later, the intelligence officers were ready.
At night, the streets are patrolled, especially in the heavy warehouses.
However, the intelligence officers operated during the day, and they hid a few people in during the day, some of whom were soldiers or officers in the army, and they were not of high rank, but no one suspected that they had entered.
It took a few days to figure out the situation inside, and I also brought some things into the fire.
Zhang Yu infiltrated Sun Ce's side very early, and now there are his own people in some key places, and the role is very great at this time.
It took a few days for Zhang Yu's intelligence officers to infiltrate the two warehouses.
In the early hours of one morning, one of his own men was on duty, and he secretly opened many of the spirits hidden inside, poured them everywhere, and then lit a fire at the appointed time.
Once the fire burned, it could not be extinguished, and the salt of tens of thousands of stones turned to ashes.
And the storehouse of grain is simpler, because grain can start a fire in the first place.
Two warehouses caught fire, which shook the city of Changsha.
Sun Ce handled it personally, and led the army to patrol and search in the city.
When they were searching, they also searched the place of the family, but the people inside were all replaced, and the family surnamed Li was not suspected.
"Search, keep searching, you must search them out."
After looking for a night and not finding anything useful, Sun Ce was furious.
Two warehouses, the loss is not big, because they have a lot of warehouses, and the grain and grass are not put together, but this affects the morale of the army too much.
"Starting tonight, double the inspection at night, whoever has another accident will be dealt with by military law." Sun Ce ordered.
Sun Ce didn't know that this fire had already been planned a lot, and the impact would be great.
