Chapter 610 Salt Dumping
"With such quality and such a low price, can our Pingzhou government still make money?" Someone couldn't help wondering.
Hearing this, Lu Desheng thought calmly that they got these salts from the Longcheng Lake Salt, which was basically a no-cost business.
Every spring, salt crystals will precipitate from the salt lake. On the lakeshore, there are layers of thick white salt flowers, sometimes mixed with the remaining snow. According to my daughter, the annual output of the Longcheng Salt Lake is about 10 million kilograms.
"And why does Pingzhou do this?" Someone was puzzled. Is it really as Ji Wuyin said, to pity the people of Dali?
The person who spoke was pulled by his companion. They don't care whether the government makes money or not, and why do they care about Pingzhou? Since the governor intends to do this, he must have his own considerations.
"Ji Daxiu, we want to do this business, what are your requirements?"
Ji Wuyin: "I just said that the price sold in Pingzhou is 80 wen per catty, no matter how you operate in the middle. We only have one requirement, that is, the price sold to the people of Dali should not be higher than 150 wen per catty. You can decide the degree in the middle."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and couldn't help whispering.
"Big deal, our Pingzhou is really big deal!"
"Damn, I think the governor is really going to do something to Dali's lifeblood."
One hundred and fifty wen can buy this quality of official salt, which is really going to kill the Dali court.
Tea, horse, salt and iron are almost the most important sources of tax revenue for the court in all dynasties.
This wave, the court's salt will definitely be hit.
Even if it is Pingzhou, with such quality and such a low price, Pingzhou itself will lose a lot of silver.
Ji Wuyin finally said, "Everyone present, if you think you are capable of this task, you can go to the first floor of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building later to pay the deposit and order the amount of salt you need. After you pay the money, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will give you a note, and you can take the note to Shanggu County in Youzhou to pick up the goods."
The people present were all smart people. They understood Ji Wuyin's subtext. It's time to mobilize your connections.
The opportunity is rare, everyone competes fairly, and how big a piece of meat you can get depends on your ability.
A military district in Pingzhou
"Assemble! Hurry up!"
"There is a mission!"
"General, what mission?"
"Go to Longcheng to escort a batch of goods to Shanggu County!"
"Great!"
"All of you, cheer up. This mission was chosen by drawing lots, so don't mess it up. Do you hear me?!"
"I heard you!"
Due to the salt lake, Longcheng has become a military defense stronghold, and the original pharmacy has long been moved. Because this is the old site of Longcheng Pharmacy, it is still called that.
That night, under the cover of night, countless lake salts were transported out of Longcheng Pharmacy by the army soldiers.
Qingzhou
Wu Ren received another letter from his master.
The victory of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force in the East China Sea was due to the food and grass they prepared in advance.
After the East China Sea War, his master sent a letter, praising them severely and saying that they would be credited with a merit.
This was the second letter since the end of the East China Sea War. He opened it and read it carefully.
In the letter, Lu Songli mainly said two things. One was to let him cooperate with Pingzhou's upcoming salt dumping plan against Dali, and the other was to inform him of the complex plan to be implemented in Zhuozhou, and by the way, let him personally implement the long-term counter-trading link.
So it can be done this way?
Wu Ren read the letter over and over again, eagerly learning and absorbing new knowledge.
Until Master Ji and Tao Xun came together.
After sitting down, Master Ji asked directly, "Did the governor write to you?" Don't ask him why he asked this, because his father also wrote to him.
Wu Ren: "Yes, I was just about to ask someone to invite you."
Young Master Ji smiled and said, "My father also wrote to me, so I brought Lao Tao here."
"The governor wrote to us, asking us to cooperate with Pingzhou's upcoming salt dumping plan against Dali. I guess Uncle Ji also told you in the letter, right?"
Tao Xun looked at this and that. These two guys bullied him and there was no one in Pingzhou? "What is the salt dumping plan?"
"The salt dumping plan is..."
Tao Xun was excited when he heard it. It's a wonderful thing to make money and benefit the people. Let's do it!
Wu Ren and Young Master Ji had read the letter and were excited, but now they were still in a state of restlessness.
"Old Wu, when are we going back to Pingzhou?" When Tao Xun mentioned Pingzhou, he looked yearning. He really wanted to go to Pingzhou to have a look.
Wu Ren was helpless, "Let's work first?"
"This job is not difficult. Let's act separately." As long as the profit is big enough, I don't believe that the sharks will not be tempted!
The salt is easy to sell, and the profit is enough for them to take risks.
…
With Pingzhou's actions, a large amount of salt entered the market, and the Dali coastline and Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places were like a drop of water dropped into an oil pan.
Undercurrents surged everywhere.
"Such a low price? Is the salt okay?"
"No problem, you can check!"
The buyer checked it, well, this quality of salt is better than the top official salt.
"This quality of salt can be sold for 300 wen per catty without any problem. You give me 110 wen per catty, did I hear it wrong, or are you crazy?"
"You heard it right, but we have only one condition, your selling price must not exceed 150 wen per catty."
"Are you Bodhisattvas sent from heaven to save people from suffering?" This quality of salt is sold at 130 wen per pound, which is a good deed. The rich and powerful people will rush to buy it!
"Don't worry about what we are, just say whether we will do it or not?"
"We will do it!"
The buyer thought that those who don't do it are fools. The other party should be from Pingzhou. Pingzhou has set the selling price. Although the selling price is only half of the price of salt in the Dali court, the quantity is large and it is enough to satisfy your hunger.
This is to make them rich!
