Yangzhou shopping mall exploded!

The second announcement issued by the Qinchaxing camp blew up the whole of Yangzhou!

Exemption from the three-year salt tax for the purchase of land salt, including not only new purchases, but also previous ones.

The eyes of the entire Yangzhou salt industry firm are red!

"Lin Gong, we can't let go of this cheapness, three years of salt tax, that's tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Lin Lao, I have calculated the salt tax for three years, I Shunda, the salt tax used to be 20,000 taels per year, and 60,000 taels for three years, and according to the new salt system, the annual output can increase by 30 percent, and the salt tax will increase by 30,000 taels, and there will be 150,000 taels in three years. It was the second largest salt number in Yangzhou, and the shopkeeper of Long Yisheng sighed and said.

Lin Zhen sighed in his heart, the backstage of this Longyisheng is the Yangzhou gate valve Zhou family, the Zhou family is not in Yangzhou Lu Yu Zhang three major gate valves, but the potential is profound, but the Zhou family is well versed in low-key ways, the Zhou family is very low-key regardless of whether they are in the court or in the opposition, and the strength of the Zhou family is actually not inferior to the three major gates.

The notice issued by the Qincha Xingying shocked the various salt numbers in Yangzhou, since the Great Jin Dynasty, and even pushed up to the Great Zhou, they have never been exempted from salt tax, but today they have introduced a three-year salt tax exemption, how can this make the salt merchants not shocked.

Lin Yan looked at the surrounding salt merchants, these salt merchants are all related to various gate valve families, behind Long Yisheng is the Zhou family, behind Changmao is the shadow of the King of Huainan, and behind Shengda is the Yu family,.......

Their attitude represents the attitude of the gate valve family behind them, did they retreat in the face of huge interests?

Lin Zhen believed that if the imperial court wanted Gu Wei to raise three million taels of silver, it should also be clear that the purpose of exempting silver was to raise the price of salt fields, and the price of this auction must be beyond imagination, and the total price must be more than three million.

But the problem is that this is also a huge temptation, he has estimated that Fusheng's output can be one and a half times after three years, according to the system of ten taxes and one, after three years, the annual tax will be about 80,000, and the total tax for three years will be about 200,000.

However, according to Lu Qiao's instructions, he will not participate in this auction, he knows very well in his heart that the last auction has made the Chamber of Commerce have an extra million taels of silver, and in a few days, another three million will be paid, even if the Chamber of Commerce is rich, it must be considered.

"Old Huang, what is your opinion?" Lin Yan ignored the noisy shopkeepers, and asked the last old man in the seat, this old man's surname is Huang, and he is the old shopkeeper of the Huang Family Salt, the Huang Family Salt has been in Yangzhou for a long time, but the business has not been ranked high in the salt number, ranking last in the top ten salt numbers.

Although the Salt Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce of all the salt in Yangzhou, there may only be eleven people discussing here, and the woman sitting under Huang Lao is a woman, her name is Zhen Niang.

Huang Lao is ten years older than Lin Zhen, and he is over sixty years old this year, although there was a lot of noise in the room before, Huang Lao never spoke.

Huang Lao put down the teacup, looked up at everyone, his eyes finally fell on Lin Zhen, and said in a hoarse voice: "I think, we should still participate, if you disagree, the Chamber of Commerce can not make a decision this time, everyone volunteer." ”

"I said Huang Lao, do you Huang Jiayan participate?"

Huang Lao was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "The imperial court requires Lord Ju and Lord Gu to raise three million taels of silver, and the two Qincha must complete it, if they don't participate, they will inevitably be regarded as confrontation by the two Qincha, and now the lifeblood of Yangzhou's salt industry is in the hands of Qincha, everyone, we are not going to participate, but we must participate, not only to buy the salt field, but also to pay three million taels of silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, Lin Yan admired it in his heart, this was actually his judgment, and Long Yisheng's shopkeeper sat down dejectedly.

The hall fell silent for a while, and after a while, Lin Zhen smiled and asked, "Zhen Niang, what do you think?"

Zhen Niang smiled, like a peony in full bloom, everyone couldn't help but be distracted, Zhen Niang sighed: "I agree with Huang Lao's opinion." ”

Lin Zhen was still waiting for Zhen Niang to continue, but Zhen Niang kept silent, and the shopkeeper of Shun Changyuan, who was on the left hand of Huang Lao, said bitterly: "Three million, let us give three million, Lin Gong, Huang Lao, last time we have already given out millions, this time it is three million, I will tell you the truth, we Shun Changyuan can take out a maximum of 160,000 silver this time, otherwise it will be difficult to operate." ”

"Yes, we're pretty much the same," a middle-aged man in his forties opposite the shopkeeper of Shun Changyuan also sighed.

Everyone complained, Lin Yan sighed deeply, and Zhen Niang spoke again at this time: "Lin Gong, the concubine thinks, it's better to talk to the two Qincha, our salt industry will give these three million taels of silver, and the more than 1,000 acres of salt fields, let's distribute them according to the shares." ”

"What about the salt tax?" Lin Qi asked rhetorically, "Won't the entire Yangzhou salt tax be exempted?"

Zhen Niang smiled, Lin Yan hurriedly looked away, Zhen Niang said: "Of course not, our eleven families will only exempt our eleven families from giving silver, but the concubine thinks that Qin Cha may not agree to three million taels of silver." ”

"Then how much do you estimate?" Lin Zhen asked.

Zhen Niang shook her head elegantly: "I don't know about this concubine, I need Lin Gong to talk to Qin Cha." ”

Lin Yan looked at everyone and sighed softly: "Then let's talk about it, the first item, whether you want to participate in this auction." ”

"Participate!"

"Even if it's tax free, you have to participate!"

"Huang Lao said it well, let's hold it in Gu Wei's hands now, if we clash with him head-on, the consequences are unpredictable, let's participate!"

"Okay, let's vote, raise your hand in favor of participating!" Lin Zhen said and raised his hand, Huang Lao Zhen Niang also raised his hand, and soon everyone raised their hands.

"Okay, pass. Lin Zhen nodded and said: "The second item below, are we going to participate as a group, or are we going to participate separately? ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhen looked at everyone, Zhen Niang raised her hand, Huang Lao hesitated and did not raise her hand, and the others looked at each other and did not raise their hands.

"Raise your hand in favor of our group. Lin Yan said again.

Zhen Niang raised her hand again, Huang Lao also raised her hand, and the rest of the people raised their hands after a little hesitation.

Lin Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, and Huang Lao opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it again and did not speak.

"Lin Gong, I think it is better for you to go to the Qincha camp to discuss with Lord Gu, we will take all the 1,500 mu, let Lord Gu say the number, and then exempt us from the salt tax for three years," Zhen Niang looked at everyone one by one, and her lips spit lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have exempted this salt tax, and within three years, we can defeat all the other salt numbers, and you shopkeepers, the salt in Yangzhou is not in our hands." ”

A word woke everyone up, and even the folds on Huang Lao's face were scattered, and the shopkeeper of Long Yisheng jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Yes! Yes! Zhen Niang is really a heroine among women! Three years later, the salt of Yangzhou is our world!"

"It's good, but does it matter if the court speaks?"

Someone asked, and Lin Yan smiled bitterly: "I don't know if I don't know." ”

"I'm afraid this question is for Lord Chincha. Zhen Niang also said.

Everyone was silent, and Huang Lao sighed faintly: "If you don't talk to them, how can you know." ”**********

"It's over! We're gone. ”

In the Defu Building, Liu Han took the notice distributed by the Qin Mission, and said to Gu Heng in frustration.

"Brother Zhigang, what does this mean!" Jin Liang was very surprised, and Gu Heng was obviously very shocked.

"I don't understand this yet," Liu Han shook his head and sighed: "Those big salt numbers of the Salt Industry Chamber of Commerce will definitely make a move to win the salt fields in this auction, the two brothers, with these three years of tax exemption, they can lower the price of salt, we are already small, and the cost is naturally higher, and then after their pressure, can we still operate! ”

Jin Liang and Gu Heng were splashed with a basin of cold water, their faces were pale, and they were speechless, and after a long time, Jin Liang said weakly: "They haven't moved now, maybe they didn't expect this." ”

Jin Liang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded again and again: "It's possible, it's completely possible." ”

"Brother Zhigang," Gu Heng suddenly shouted, his voice was a little loud, and he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Let's take pictures of Yantian, and we can also be tax-free." ”

"But our production is not as high as others. Liu Han was not polite at all, and said very directly: "The salt pans in this auction are all barren salt pans, and the yield is naturally not high, and there are quality problems, can our salt pans produce refined salt?"

Gu Heng's expression suddenly became cold, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply, the three of them drank the wine with a gloomy expression, Liu Han didn't have anything in his heart, this salt number would not be opened if it was not opened, it was no big deal.

In the past few days, he has been openly active in Yangzhou City, trying to lure the guy who seems to be the manager out, but after a few days, the guy didn't show up at all.

Seeing the announcement of the Qin Mission's camp, Liu Han hurried to Defu Building, but he didn't expect that Jin Liang and Gu Heng were already waiting for him in Defu Building.

After meeting, Jin Liang complained again and again, they have been looking for him for the past few days, but according to the inn he said, the guy told them that Liu Han had not come back for a few days, but the luggage was still there.

Liu Han had to fool a few words, saying that he had been in Jiankang for a few days, and he didn't have time to inform them, so he hurried over when he saw the notice.

There was silence again, and after a while, Jin Liang put the wine glass on the table heavily, and said angrily: "Damn, these gate valves, they can reach out for everything, but the Yangzhou salt industry is in their hands, so the court is not worried!"

"Of course, this is to quench your thirst," Liu Han sighed: "But Gu Wei wants to get three million silver now, he doesn't use his brains on salt, where he can get it?" ”

"What's wrong with the imperial court?three million taels of silver...."Gu Heng sighed, his heart suddenly moved, although he was not the head of the internal guard, he was still an internal guard, and he could still report to the top, and he could completely report the benefits of this matter to the palace.

"Alas, Gu Wei can't do this?" Gu Heng said tentatively.

Liu Han glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "That's not the case, the man in white is famous all over the world, but after all, he is not a businessman, and the harm to the imperial court is so great that it is not inferior to the Hu clan outside the country." ”

"It's so serious!" Jin Liang didn't believe it and looked at him suspiciously.

Liu Han nodded solemnly: "Of course, this move of the imperial court is also very absurd, three million taels of silver is very heavy for Gu Wei, and the time is too tight, if it is limited to one month, it can be completed." ”

"Why do you say that it is to drink to quench your thirst, two, Jiangnan is the three major wealth of the imperial court, today, the wealth of the imperial court mainly depends on Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and the third is Shuzhou, among the three states, Yangzhou is the first.

Yangzhou's salt, silk, and grain are the world's best, and the salt tax is an important income of the imperial court; if Yangzhou's salt is controlled in the hands of a few clansmen, how much can the imperial court collect from the salt tax? The common people will also suffer greatly, and they can control the price of salt at will, even if it is just a copper plate, they can obtain huge benefits, and the imperial court may not receive a penny.

If I were Gu Wei, I would first ask the imperial court to extend the time to one month;

Secondly, I want power, the right to check the treasury of Yangzhou, thoroughly investigate the accounts of the treasury of Yangzhou, and at the same time check the account books of various silk workshops, and in the name of tax inspection, carry out anti-corruption and confiscate the property of corrupt officials.

I estimate that I can get at least five million taels of silver. ”

Gu Heng and Jin Liang's eyes lit up, and Jin Liang couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, yes, these corrupt officials in Yangzhou have long been full, and they will catch one by one." ”

Gu Heng nodded first, and then smiled bitterly, in this way, Yangzhou officialdom and shopping malls will have to jump, and the entire Yangzhou will probably collapse.
