Chapter 2938 Grab the Quota
Not only the big merchants in the capital, but also merchants from all over the country rushed to the capital with enough money to inquire about this Yanyin and how to get it.
Although many people were excited, everyone came to the capital to watch and inquire around.
It is because these big merchants came to the capital and spent money to inquire about the news, so that those who had just bled out received a lot of respect.
It turned out that those noble ministers who wanted to give Bai Yixiu, Jia He, and Jia Zhengzha the villains all day, because they received a lot of filial piety, they finally didn't hate them so much.
The lively and bustling capital in the capital has had a greater impact than the previous Jah Jiazheng asking for accounts.
Naturally, Emperor Zhou An also learned about the situation in the capital, and specifically called Bai Yixiu over to ask, "Lin Aiqing, the capital is turbulent and there is a lot of discussion. When will you start here?"
Bai Yixiu replied with a smile: "Go back to Your Majesty, salt is a very important thing and a necessity for people's livelihood, so you have to be more careful in handling it. Although you can come to auction as long as you have money, we also need to make sure that these salt merchants buy salt in the You can only sell it locally. Therefore, the time and place will be specified by the salt introduction.
In this way, it can also guarantee the income of those who auction these salts! Therefore, in addition to selling salt, it is necessary to select four places in each prefecture. Only by paying a certain amount of silver can you be eligible to buy salt. "
Zhou Andi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Is it understandable that before Yan Yin has been sold, I will be able to receive a large amount of gold and silver through the qualification to sell?"
Bai Yixiu nodded, "It can be understood like this! This qualification is permanent. These people do not drive up prices and do not commit crimes. They have always had this qualification and can pass the family down, so this qualification can be sold for a lot of money!"
Zhou Andi thought about it carefully, it is indeed a very good way.
Bai Yixiu presented another copy with a very detailed copy. After researching it by Emperor Zhou An and his courtiers, he felt that it was indeed very good.
So Emperor Zhou An authorized Bai Yixiu to do it again.
After being authorized by Emperor Zhou Andi, Bai Yixiu wrote a new notice.
Merchants who want to buy Yanyin can go to Shunxing Tea House to sign up. When signing up, they need to verify their capital. If they are less than 100,000 taels of silver, they are not eligible to participate.
First come, first served, a total of 140 places.
Just three days after it was posted, many people came to sign up.
Among them are some medium-strength salt merchants, and some are major merchants in porcelain, silk, tea and other aspects.
On the contrary, those strong salt merchants did not appear in the capital because of the group boycott.
Those who raised the price of salt in the south of the Yangtze River resisted the court's new salt import system.
They were selling salt at a high price, and Bai Yixiu's backhand played a role at this time.
Stores controlled by the official family opened a warehouse to sell salt, and the salt price was still at the previous price.
Because Bai Yixiu had already hoarded a lot of salt, he was not afraid of these people hoarding goods and selling them at high prices.
In addition, he also used the army to escort salt to remote county towns.
Although it was a bit chaotic for two or three days at first, the price of salt continued to stabilize afterwards.
Those salt merchants didn't find a big storm, so they panicked and rushed to the capital in a hurry.
They saw this way of registration. Some people were lucky and finally signed up before the deadline; some people traveled farther and came later, so they missed the final registration deadline.
Of the 140 places, only 120 can be auctioned to sell salt.
