Soon, all the salt merchants in Xuzhou discovered such a strange phenomenon.

They both think each other is crazy.

However, they immediately mobilized their forces to investigate, and soon found out that the other party was indeed crazy.

Because this is Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is a recognized madman.

A madman is a madman, and he is crazy about doing things, and the salt they sell is half the price of them.

"Crazy, crazy, how can it be possible to produce such white, high-quality table salt and sell it at such a low price." When the salt merchants saw the salt that Zhang Yu was selling, they all shouted.

It's not that they haven't seen this kind of salt, but they eat it every day.

Because they themselves eat salt from the Mi family.

And the price of salt sold by the Mi family is ten times that of what they sell.

But they thought it was worth it, because the salt was white and free of impurities, and it was not comparable to their own salt.

Therefore, these salt merchants think that the production of millet households in a special way will not be high, and the cost will be high, so it will not have any impact on them.

The Mi family is also smart, in order not to touch the interests of these people, so the salt he sells takes the high-end route, sells to those families, and sells it to rich families.

But what is the situation now?

Zhang Yu sells this kind of what they usually buy at ten times the price.

And now it's on a large scale, and the price is half of theirs.

In this way, where will anyone buy their table salt?

Several salt merchants panicked.

"I'm going to contact a few other salt merchants to discuss."

If it was someone else, they would definitely suppress it directly, they had too many ways, but this time they were facing Zhang Yu.

Tao Qian couldn't do anything about Zhang Yu, how could they dare to do anything to Zhang Yu?

None of these salt merchants really dared to directly confront Zhang Yu, so they wanted to join forces.

Soon, the six major salt merchants in Xuzhou all gathered together.

"I believe everyone knows the situation, there were disagreements and competitions in the past, and that is all in the future, what we have to do now is to face Zhang Yu's crazy behavior." Yan Cheng said to several family heads.

These family heads directly breaded a teahouse in the teahouse in Xia Picheng, after all, they all had conflicts with each other, and it was not suitable for them to go to anyone's house.

After Yan Cheng spoke, the other five people did not object, nodded silently, and then began to think.

Liu Shan said: "I think we can use our respective strengths, unite together, suppress them, and drive them out of Xuzhou." ”

"Everyone else is just that, Zhang Yu's people dare too? I dare to guarantee that if you really do that, he will dare to lead the army to directly level your Liu family, Zhang Yu is a madman, he will dare to do this. One of the heads of the family said.

Liu Shan immediately came down, Zhang Yu had done too many crazy things, they were really scared.

Originally, Liu Shan also knew that he couldn't do this, and the family didn't dare, so he wanted to unite the six families to do it together.

Everyone was struggling to find a way, Yan Cheng looked at everyone and said: "The salt sold by Zhang Yu is close to our cost, we can observe for a few more days, how much salt he can sell, but we want to share information, and our six major salt merchants are basically responsible for a place." ”

This is also what everyone doesn't understand, Zhang Yu's salt quality is so good, even if it is the same price as theirs, or higher than theirs, it can't be sold, and why does Zhang Yu sell it directly at half price?

The crowd did not understand.

In fact, the salt sold by Zhang Yu in Xuzhou has been sold at a high price, and the price he sells in his own territory is much lower than this price.

In this era, the way to obtain salt was to boil water for salt.

The solution is simple, set up a large pot and boil seawater over a firewood fire.

Think about it and know how much it costs.

If nothing else, it takes one or two people to cook a large pot, and then a lot of firewood is consumed, and there is often not much salt to cook.

As a result, the cost of salt in this era was high.

Zhang Yu's salt, directly using the salt drying method, the cost is very low, and the amount obtained is very large.

Under Zhang Yu's rule, there are many beaches in both the north and the south, where salt can be sunburned.

Therefore, the salt sold by Zhang Yu in Xuzhou is itself a huge profit.

Suddenly, a salt merchant Xu Ming said: "It's too passive, I have a way." ”

Xu Ming spoke, and everyone looked at him.

When everyone focused their attention, Xu Ming smiled, took a sip of tea and said: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, Zhang Yu must not be able to sell salt for a long time, you can do this in the short term, and you won't lose him in the long run." So my solution is that we each take out the money and collect all Zhang Yu's salt. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, this method is good in the short term, and when Zhang Yu raises the price, they can make a lot of money with these salts.

"It's feasible, I think Zhang Yu just wants to crush us in the short term, and then monopolize it himself, so as to make huge profits, he must have other ways to follow-up, let's join forces to break Zhang Yu's first plan first, and then see what other ways he has in the future." Liu Shan said.

Everyone thought that this method was good, and they expected that Zhang Yu must have been planning for a long time, and it was impossible to sell salt like this all the time.

Several families discussed and came up with a solution, and it was much easier, so they broke up and went back to arrange.

In the short term, this kind of thing did not cause any confusion, only a few salt merchants felt the pressure, and Tao Qian didn't know at all.

At this time, Tao Qian has been grasping military politics, and has always wanted to make Xuzhou strong again against Cao Cao and Zhang Yu.

When these salt merchants returned, they had money in their hands, so they went to various places and began to buy a large amount of Zhang Yu's salt.

Two days later, Zhang Yu received the news, it will be so fast, because Yangzhou and Xuzhou are close to each other in some places, and Zhang Yu has already arranged an intelligence system, and there will be fast horses galloping day and night.

"Haha, great, we can ship a lot of money and make real money." When Zhang Yu received the news, he immediately laughed happily.

He called Zhang Zhao and informed Zhang Zhao of what happened in Xuzhou.

"My lord, my subordinates will immediately increase the supply to Xuzhou, and try to keep our salt merchants from supplying."

Zhang Zhao was the happiest and most active, which allowed him to obtain a large amount of copper coins in the short term to solve the money shortage.

Zhang Zhao understands that over the years, too much salt has been dried and too much salt has been hoarded here in Huiji County, and a lot of this salt has been accumulated in the warehouse and cannot be sold.

Zhang Yu did not control the production of salt, and he produced vigorously.

Now the sales place is limited, in addition to their own territory, that is, Jingzhou plus the grassland, although these quantities are large, but not enough to consume Zhang Yu's salt.

Therefore, Zhang Yu seems to have found a group of wronged leaders to take over the goods in the warehouse, so that Zhang Yu's salt can be realized.
