Chapter 489 The Heavy Load of Liulizhai

On the morning dynasty on the 16th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Chongzhen, the new salt method was finally released. The salt class of tens of millions of taels and the low salt price of twenty-five cereals were the biggest highlights of this new salt method.

This new salt method is an extremely strict salt method, with extremely strict regulations on salt courses and salt prices, and it seems that the right to modify it again. Bi Ziyan of the Ministry of Revenue said confidently that if the salt course does not reach tens of millions of taels and if the salt price cannot be reduced, the salt course must be changed again.

Officials of all sizes who have a close relationship with the salt merchant were shocked in the face of this soon-to-be-born salt law. In addition to being shocked by the rigorousness of the new salt law, they also understood the emperor's back-up. Compared with the old salt law in the previous one, this new salt law is simply a life-threatening thing. What would the people in the world think? The first reaction was that the salt merchants should really cut them into pieces. The difference between this ten million taels of silver and less than one million taels of silver is enough to make everyone angry. Thinking about the anger of the people in the world, it is enough to burn the salt merchants to ashes.

Everyone fully understands that when the Southern Jinyiwei was working as a salt merchant, it seemed warm and affectionate. In fact, the emperor wanted to kill these salt merchants! The salt merchants were completely finished. As soon as this news came out, no one needed to clamor, everyone in the world would call for them to beat them. The salt merchants became completely poisonous and became the ****** to be punished by everyone. Many people even remembered letters from the south, saying that the emperor gave a way to donate money and split them with the salt merchants in Tonglu in time. Many people were not sure and asked if this road could be taken. Now it seems that the emperor really left room and left a way to survive. Otherwise, as soon as this news came out, even if the emperor did not want to work as a salt merchant, the anger of the people in the world would bring countless troubles to himself.

All the ministers returned home with numb scalp. As for how they dispersed, many people didn't feel it. When they returned home, they hurriedly wrote letters to the south, asking them to donate their wealth as soon as possible, otherwise, if they were too late, they would be too late.

The express delivery between Beijing and Nanjing was booming overnight. Officials of all sizes all required the use of 700 miles to rush. Some could use 700 miles to rush directly, while others could only pay and buy 700 miles to rush at a high cost. In short, the news must be as fast as possible to reach Jiangnan as possible.

...

After the court, Yang Jing knew that he had to do something else. Although the salt method was born, it was a very critical link. Liulizhai was not yet in the content of the new salt method. Bi Ziyan formulated the new salt method, but it was still a piece of paper. It was not the final salt method. It also needed to put the Liulizhai into the new salt method. With Liulizhai, the new salt method could be implemented smoothly, and enough salt classes could be received, and the salt price could be effectively controlled, and private salt could be effectively controlled. Without the addition of Liulizhai, many things were empty talk. You should know that even the salt method that was truly implemented in later generations did not receive 10 million salt classes, and it was still an era of rapid population growth.

Liulizhai.

Holding Sun Liniang who had just had a happy life, Yang Jing was very satisfied, and the recent pressure was also gone. The salt class matter was already a foregone conclusion. Yang Jing was not worried about this, but was worried about the huge wealth of the salt merchants. If he did not get the huge wealth of the salt merchants, Yang Jing was not willing to give up the huge wealth of the salt merchants. He did not let the salt merchants go lightly, and the salt merchants hide their wealth; if the methods were too heavy, the wealth of the salt merchants was a broken family again, which was worthless. How could he force the salt merchants into the circle they set up and get the relatively complete wealth of the salt merchants as much as possible?

This is what Yang Jing has always been worried about, so there are various layouts and designs. Fortunately, the situation has not lost control, and everything is following the established path. Now that the new salt method has been released, the money of salt merchants has finally become a foregone conclusion, so there is no need to worry anymore. According to the news from Xu Guangqi and Erxizi in the south, the wealth donated by the salt merchants in the south has reached tens of millions of taels, and this number is still growing every day, which makes Yang Jing overjoyed. The layout, the layout, the layers of sets, the layers of stripping, and the actions have finally not been in vain.

Sun Liniang also blushed and was lying in Yang Jie's arms with satisfaction. Today, the emperor said nothing and wanted to do that, which made Sun Liniang both embarrassed and happy.

He hugged Sun Liniang and talked about the serious matter for a while. Looking at the jade man in his arms, Yang Jie was ready to move again.

Sun Liniang felt the change, her face turned redder, but she made a serious joke on her face: "Young master wants it? The Duke and the others have all arrived..."

"..." When Sun Liniang mentioned the Duke of China, Yang Jing went to most of the interest. When she first came, Yang Jing asked someone to invite the major shareholders of Liulizhai to discuss the matter in the name of Liulizhai. The Duke of England was one of them. When the salt law matters, he could not be greedy. Yang Jing warned himself and immediately got up from the bed.

Looking at the emperor who had been rushing to get up, Sun Liniang smiled again and got up to wash herself.

It was after another erotic moment that Yang Jingwei led Sun Liniang out of the boudoir to do the important business.

Liulizhai is now a large business with a huge area. This Glass Street is the largest view of the capital, and it is not in vain. In this Liulizhai, the houses are arranged in a scattered manner, and all kinds of functions are also available.

When I arrived at a house, Yang Jie said, "Li Niang, it depends on you this time. It's not convenient for me to show up, so I can only support you from here."

"Don't worry, young master, Li Niang won't let the young master down." Sun Li Niang said confidently. She knew about Liu Li Zhai's involvement in the salt industry. As for how to do it, she also knew that today's link was to communicate with the major shareholders of Liu Li Zhai and prepare to take over the salt industry.

"Well, that's good. Let's go now. Remember, I'll support you after you." Yang Jie instructed again. Yang Jie thought about this kind of business matter for a long time and felt that it would be better not to show up in person. It would be enough to have Sun Liniang.

Sun Liniang entered a big house, while Yang Jie himself entered a small house next door, preparing to "listen next door".

The windows of the big house where Sun Liniang entered were all made of glass worth a thousand gold, so the house did not feel dark at all, it was very bright. In addition, the heating stove inside made the house warm, making it feel that it was the north of the cold winter. When Sun Liniang arrived in this big house, the people inside immediately stopped talking and stood up.

"I have met Duke of England, Duke Cheng, Duke Cheng, Duke Zhou..." Sun Liniang gave a first greeting to everyone here. Among them were Duke of England, Duke Cheng and other nobles, including the queen's younger brother Zhou Wenyao, and Queen Yi'an's father Zhang Guoji. Of course, Sun Liniang was only slightly blessed. Even if she bowed, she is used to the scene now. Even if she is a noble like a Duke, she is just like this.

Everyone responded with a smile. Looking at the incomparable Liulizhai shopkeeper, they did not dare to have a trace of blasphemy. When Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Chunchen, saw Sun Liniang, his eyes lit up, and his eyes flashed rapidly, and finally responded with a smile. His thoughts on Sun Liniang were completely absolute. This woman is the current emperor's woman. Thinking about the current emperor's methods of dealing with the salt merchants, Zhu Chunchen felt chilling. The emperor wanted to cause trouble for himself, and he was afraid that he would go as far as he could without having to speak.

"Please sit down..." After seeing this, Sun Liniang said generously.

Everyone sat down again. In this room, the seat arrangement was very different from the conference room of later generations. Rights and class were well reflected in this conference room. Several dukes sat on the left and right, and even Zhang Guoji sat in the back, not to mention the young Zhou Wenyao, who could only stay in the last seat, not to mention the businessman who first intervened in Liulizhai. There was no place for him in the front row, and there was a small chair to sit in the corner. However, he was very happy that he could come here to attend this meeting, although this seat was not good.

"Haha, Miss Sun, I don't know what if I invite you to come today?" British Duke Zhang Weixian asked with a smile. He didn't dare to be arrogant about Sun Liniang, the woman who controls tens of millions of property for the emperor. He looked like he caring for his juniors and smiled.

Everyone here looked at Sun Liniang seriously and knew that Sun Liniang would not let everyone come here for nothing.

"Haha, the Duke of the State has asked him knowingly. The Duke of the State has heard about what happened in the court today." Sun Liniang said with a smile immediately.

When it comes to the matter in the court, the few people sitting there are obviously a high eye. Today's affairs in the court have been circulating, and everyone in the capital knows it. It seems that the emperor said that the matter of letting Liulizhai take over the salt course will finally be completed.

"Miss Sun is the test for us? Haha, the matter in the court is nothing more than salt classes. Today, Bi Shangshu's new salt method is called *** Eye-opening. The annual salt class of 10 million taels is compared with the previous one, but it is sentenced to death by those salt merchants!... This salt merchant is indeed damn. He earns so much money every year, swallows so much salt classes in the court, and drinks so much blood from the people, but he is a person who does not give up a penny to benefit the world. Comparing the new and old salt methods, they are also embarrassed to death..." British Duke Zhang Weixian immediately smiled. This news was really explosive. As soon as the court dispersed, the news immediately spread throughout the capital. The news of 10 million salt classes is enough to be called the ** barrel that frys the salt merchants to pieces.

Before the Duke of England could finish his words, the other few people were eager to try, and were so happy that they thought of such a huge wealth that it was impossible not to be moved, and they all agreed.

"The Duke of the State is right. Those salt merchants should really die. They eat the country's official offerings, eat the people's ointment and blood, secretly join the Eastern Captains, and want to trap the people in the world as slaves. If they don't die, we are loyal and kind-hearted people who die! We should be irreconcilable with them..."

"Yes, those salt merchants should be killed and arrested immediately. If they are not dead, they are not enough to correct the law of the country, not enough to show wiseness, not enough to show justice..."

Everyone scolded the salt merchants, and the atmosphere in the house became lively again.

"Haha, what the dukes said is, but this is a major national event and cannot be discussed by a young woman..." After the heavyweights finished speaking, Sun Liniang smiled and said.

Everyone stopped talking, waiting for the shopkeeper Sun to speak, waiting for her to announce the good news.

"...Salt course is related to state affairs, and Liulizhai should not be involved. As a woman, she should not be involved. However, Liulizhai, as a businessman under the feet of the emperor, should share the worries for the king; as His Majesty's people, he should be brave enough to share the worries for His Majesty. I wonder if you think the little girl is right?" Sun Liniang said with a smile.

"Miss Sun said it well. Merchants should take salt merchants as a warning and must not do selfish things that harm the country. They should always be your Majesty, consider the court, and share the worries of the court at all times. This is a good business." He immediately supported him again.

Everyone nodded one after another.

"Hahaha..." Sun Liniang smiled for a while, and had already said polite words, and began to talk about the serious business, saying, "You are all people that Your Majesty can trust, so the little woman will not say polite words. Now the salt merchant has collapsed, and the salt law needs to be rectified urgently. Your Majesty wants Liulizhai to take over the salt industry."

As soon as this expected thing was said, everyone was surprised, and the fruit finally came.

"I wonder how Your Majesty plans to take over? What do we need to do?" I immediately asked again. The nobles fought with the emperor and the Donglin Party and other civil officials. This time, they won the best of their gratitude. After all, they could be considered proud. The civil officials have suppressed the nobles so much.

"I believe you all know about Master Bi's new salt method. In addition to having extremely strict requirements on salt courses and salt prices, in fact, the production, transportation and sales of salt have been divided. Our Liulizhai will take over all the production part, and the transportation part will also participate in part, but not much, and the sales are the same. We also participate in part. The main thing is in this aspect. Your Majesty intends to let Liulizhai take over the production of the world's salt industry. The new salt method will fix the salt production areas into several places, and change the boiling of salt to drying salt. Our Liulizhai will join these salt fields and be responsible for the production of salt..." Sun Liniang began to explain carefully and meticulously.

Everyone listened carefully to see how to operate it.

"...We Liulizhai produce salt. According to Lord Bi's new salt method, the salt produced should not be higher than five cents. Add ten cents of salt to other salt merchants in the world who transport and sell salt. The salt merchants in charge of transportation and sales will not exceed fifteen cents. The salt merchants in charge of transportation and sales will add ten cents and sell them to the world at a price of about twenty-five cents. This is the core of the new salt method, which is to ensure that the court has enough salt, and to ensure that the people in the world can eat cheap salt. As for the new salt method, it is called the ticket salt method. It does not restrict the people in the world to market these. In fact, it is just a cover. Our Liulizhai will shoulder the heavy responsibility of paying full taxes for the court; shoulder the heavy responsibility of ensuring that the people in the world can eat cheap salt; shoulder the heavy responsibility of cracking down on private salt..." Sun Liniang said this, she was really heroic and her female power rose sharply, which made the nobles and relatives difficult to breathe.

The nobles only heard that they wanted to take over the salt industry and only knew that salt would make money, but they never thought that these burdens would be carried on their shoulders. Seeing Sun Liniang talking about this matter so powerfully, she was scared to death. It turned out that this matter was still so troublesome.

"This...Miss Sun, I want to ask something..." British Duke Zhang Weixian was indeed scared by Sun Liniang, and also shocked Sun Liniang's words. The new salt method was formulated for Liulizhai. The ticket salt method is just a cover. It is not surprising that this statement comes from a woman or a woman who is engaged in business. Because this woman is the emperor's woman, business, and the emperor's business, but what is scary is the subsequent heavy responsibilities, paying full taxes. They understand that the emperor only took advantage of the salt class and took action against the salt merchants. Otherwise, they will never try salt in their entire lives and ensure that the people of the world can eat cheap salt. This is a bit..., how can they say it? It is not allowed to sell high-priced salt. Isn't this profit limited? How can they guarantee that others will not sell high-priced salt? According to the ticket salt method, it is indeed difficult to be responsible for this, and they must also be responsible for the crackdown on private salt. This responsibility is really too heavy.

"Haha, the Duke of the State just asks, and the little girl will speak out." Sun Liniang asked with a smile with a burst of confidence.

"Miss Sun, the price of salt is so low, and I have taken out a ten-cent salt course. We are mainly responsible for producing salt. We do not care about the transportation and sales of salt in the world. So how can we ensure that Liulizhai will not lose money? What's more, we must ensure that the people in the world can eat cheap salt and crack down on private salt. These are not easy to deal with!" British Duke Zhang Weixian asked in embarrassment. Not to mention, the problem of private salt has been plagued by thousands of years. There is no dynasty that can be solved. It's just that there are differences. The problem of private salt has never been eradicated, let alone, we have to control the price of salt eating in the world, and we do not care about the transportation and sales of salt in the world. How to control this? Zhang Weixian's forehead is so big. Of course, he also knows that the emperor will not be aimless and will not let them make money.

"Haha, the Duke of the Kingdom has come up with the point. The little woman will answer the Duke of the Kingdom. This is all within the consideration of the prince, so you don't have to worry." Sun Liniang said with great force and a thriller.

"... The new salt method sets the price of salt production in the salt farm at five cents. In fact, a lot of the profits we wait for come from here. You may not know that there is a huge difference between boiling salt and drying salt. Nowadays, every salt is used to bring salt to the stove owner for only one stone of grain. After all, it is not profitable. However, drying salt can greatly reduce the cost and can directly reduce the price to one or two cents, or even lower. In the past, the government and salt merchants made profits by oppressing the stove owners, and suppressed the salt in the hands of the stove owners as much as possible. Now, we waited for improvement in salt making technology and lower the cost of salt making, rather than over-pressing the stove owners. The young master said first, all the people of the Ming Dynasty and needed to be treated properly and not over-pressed..." Sun Liniang explained.

When everyone heard this, they understood. They originally thought that what they had to do was to participate in the sales of salt through the new salt method that was not limited to the world, so as to make a profit. However, they heard Sun Liniang say that she only participated in the transportation and sales of part of the salt. Unexpectedly, the big profit of Liulizhai was still here, and they all started to think about it.

"Miss Sun, that is to say, through new salt-making methods, the cost of salt production is reduced to one or two cents, or even lower, and then sold at a price of five cents? But that's the case?" A nobleman had a relatively flexible mind and immediately figured out the tricks.

"Yes, based on the annual output of one billion jin of salt, our Liulizhai is responsible for producing salt. We earn two or three cents per kilogram, and at least two or three million taels per year. If we engage in some salt transportation and sales, it is no problem to earn three or four million taels per year... Haha, in fact, these two jins are not the limit. According to what the young master said, gather the world's salt farms into several, and this scale suddenly increases. Relying on the scale effect, the price of salt can be reduced, or even lower than one jin. In this way, our Liulizhai can easily earn a small jin of taels by producing salt every year..." Sun Liniang was a powerful explanation.

After hearing this explanation, everyone immediately changed their faces. Sure enough, the emperor thought about it very carefully for everyone. This salt is indeed a good deal, and he collects a small amount of 4 million taels of silver every year!

"...so, cracking down on private salt is our unshirkable responsibility, and private salt is our mortal enemy of Liulizhai..." Sun Liniang continued to show her power.

"Yes, private salt harms the country and the people, we Liulizhai should take on this important task."

"It is unavoidable to crack down on private salt. Those who steal taxes from the court should die."

Several people immediately agreed with Sun Liniang's proposal and listed the dealing with private salt as the top priority in Liulizhai. This is certain and necessary. The amount of salt eaten by people in the world is limited, and every pound of private salt is cut from them.
Chapter completed!
