Chapter 148: Sell (2)

"Come on, I will use tea instead of wine. Let's drink this cup full of food. In the future, the economy in Hubei will get rid of you more. Please!"

Knowing that the group had just been neglected, Li Han got up and picked up the cup of tea that the waiter next to him had just filled him with, put on a hearty smile on his face, raised the teacup in his hand, and tilted his head to drink.

Of course, these people didn't dare to say anything about him. They all stood up and picked up the wine glass and shouted: "Damn it!"

It was just the sound of swallowing wine.

"Please do it well. I have found a good deal for you. I wonder if anyone is interested in this?"

After sitting down, everyone ate and drank for a while. Li Han felt that the time was almost over, so he brewed a little and stood up.

The following people thought he wanted to ask for a revolutionary donation, but many people suddenly browned and thought to themselves!

"Ahem, don't worry, the military government has been in a tight position recently? The military government, but please rest assured, although Jingshan is not a wealthy county, it is only 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in silver, but it can still be afforded!"

As soon as Li Hanhua fell, he saw the blind man taking the lead. There were more than 40 people present, and the 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver not only were there, but the opposite was also much less. It was almost only a little more than Liu Yingshi’s Jingshan branch military government before. This blind man was the old fox.

Li Han frowned, but he knew in his heart that these people would be wrong about him!

Helplessly, he had to wave his hand and said, "Everyone, you have misunderstood what I mean! Although my central Hubei military government cannot be said to be rich, it cannot be short of money or silver. You know that the only salt-producing land in Hubei is in the hands of our central Hubei military government. Now the Tatars ban the salt of Huai and Sichuan salt into Chu. Are you still worried that our military government will lack money or salary or silver?"

He was so arrogant that he could not speak out. This was of course. Although he was not like the Tongmenghui in Wuchang, he easily raised hundreds of thousands of donations from Southeast Asia and overseas, and southern provinces. However, only 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver were not in his eyes.

To be precise, Yingcheng should be the most correct thing he has done since he came to this world. Now, in less than half a month, the price of salt in the province has been rising steadily. With only a little salt production in Yingcheng, he can store nearly 130 official salt mines in his hands every day. Even if he had paid nearly 30% of the wages he had paid out, his daily net income was as much as 7,000 taels. Moreover, the plan he had just formulated the day before yesterday was that the salt production was 20 dan (about 1 ton) more than the average salt production in the previous few days. In addition, he could also get nearly 2,000 salt taxes every day from his private salt. Even so, those who bought a few or even a dozen mines from him earned nearly half of the money he invested in in just half a month. He was jealous of those who had not dared to buy salt wells from him because of various concerns.

In recent times, people have always used their relationship to see him and want to see if they can buy a salt well that is very profitable at a low price!

Li Han didn't mention salt, but when he mentioned salt, he suddenly felt a sound of swallowing saliva in the house. I don't know that since the imperial court cut off the salt in Hubei Province, the price of salt in various parts of the province has doubled day by day. In western Hubei, northern Hubei and some remote places in eastern Hubei, the price of salt soared four or five times in just half a month, and some places have grown eight or nine times. Now there are many people who are coveting Yingcheng's Feng Shui treasure land, but they have no choice but to go to Hubei.

Tens of thousands of troops of the military government have been sidelined. Through the past half month of continuous bandit suppression, at least thousands of thieves in central Hubei have bowed their heads, and there are many people who are imprisoned in prison or sent to salt wells to do hard work, which greatly shocked the surrounding heroes. One by one, they can only send caravans to Yingcheng, and then take out a load of salt at a price of more than twice as much as half a month ago, and then double the price and sell it to other places! There is no need to transport it in central Hubei at all.

There were many people who were jealous of the huge profits of the military government in the central Hubei. Liu Ying of Jingshan was one of them at that time. Unfortunately, the military government of the central Hubei revolutionary army was strong by selling salt (he thought Li Han's revolutionary army weapons were bought by practicing salt). In addition, everyone belonged to the revolutionary camp, so they could only endure it. As a result, when he was in trouble, the civilian army in Jingshan collected less than 2,000 guns, most of which followed Liu Tie to Shayang to defend against the Qing army's invasion.

Li Han smiled and said that what he wanted was this effect. He clapped his palms and focused Fangxiangju's attention on himself. He smiled faintly and said, "It's common saying that 'one friend has more life'. Li has always believed this. You are all elites in Hubei. Maybe everyone knows that I have achieved a daily income of tens of thousands of taels by relying on salt production alone. The business I want to discuss with you today is related to this salt. I wonder if there are many people interested in this topic?"

"oh?"

"hiss"

There was a sound of sucking air conditioners in the room, and the eyes of the old foxes suddenly narrowed. Although they were moved, many people still couldn't understand what he meant!

"Salt, salt, salt and people's livelihood is also the people in my country. Every year, the people need a total of 10 million dan (500,000 tons) to 11 million dan (550,000 tons), which can generate more than 15 million taels of silver every year. This is a huge industry, right?"

The smile on his face gradually became stronger, and Li Han shook his finger, "Everyone, everyone in the province knows that I accept it as a paste, but few people have explored why the paste mine can produce salt, right? Let me tell you good news, our military government has hired dozens of prospecting engineers from Citigroup and successfully explored hundreds of millions of ducts of storage rock salt underground in Yingcheng County, and it is of top quality. It is no less than the thousand-year-old salt next to it!"

'hiss'

Li Han was not surprised by a neat inhalation.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and continued, "Since the mines are hidden deep underground, the mining equipment alone costs millions of yuan. I intend to set up a huge salt mining company. I wonder if you are interested? I will leave you half a month to consider. After half a month, I will contact the foreign merchants who provide me with weapons to buy mining machines. If you are interested in it at that time, you can come to the military government to find me."

After saying that, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, frowned slightly. It turned out that an hour had passed without realizing it, and it was really delayed a lot of time.

So he said, "But I'm sorry, everyone, the Qing army is on the side, and Li, as the commander of a town, can no longer delay here for half a minute. Please forgive me, I will only be established in half a month. If you come, I will have a good time to drink it. Please give me the last cup. Let's drink this cup full, but please eat slowly, Li will take the lead."

"Dry"

Putting down the teacup, Li Han said to the shopkeeper of the Fangxiangju: "Today our military government is here to entertain heroes, but it is very disturbing to the business of the restaurant. I would like to forgive the shopkeeper Chen. After the lunch, please send the bill to the temporary garrison of the military government in the city to withdraw money. Li disturbed me!"

Hearing him speak like this, Chen Ming was hurriedly saying, "Don't bother, don't bother, this meal of Dashang is mine, you don't have to spend money."

Li Han narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Shopkeeper Chen was joking. Our military government originally adhered to a policy of never disturbing the people, but I still have to give you the money for this meal. One thing goes one by one."

After saying that, he clasped his fists and rushed to everyone present, "Everyone, Li is still in charge of military affairs, so I can't accompany you too much, please forgive me."

"You are polite, you are in military affairs, please give me some advice!"

"We are honored to see the commander-in-chief!"
