Chapter 63 Hype
Anyone with a good knowledge knows that Xuan Mo started his business in Northern Zhili, and most of his personal soldiers were northerners. The grand style of Qian Zong should not be fake. At this time, someone came up behind him and whispered in the ear of Manager Meng. Manager Meng nodded and said with a smile:
"Mr. Li Qian, all the colleagues in Jining want to see the goods on the ship. Why not open the tarp and let everyone see it and make a judgment!"
The ship was already leaning on the dock, and the sailor went ashore to tie the cable to the stone pile. Mr. Li Qian was already shouting the guards on the ship to start lifting the tarpaulin.
Everyone on the dock was surprised. On the boat, it was not the expected salt-bags and straw bags, but the neatly packed porcelain jars. The weather was clear and the light was abundant. These porcelain jars were abnormally old. Some people simply took a closer look. The jars of those porcelain jars were sealed with wax.
Someone asked in confusion:
"What is the jar in this captain?"
"X, it's fine, it's not good for those traitors to traffic in. It's said that they broke several big burglars in Shaanxi and dug out the cellars. Why aren't they silk, gold and silver?"
Oh? The cellars of wealthy families are stored in the cellars. Shaanxi is full of green salt. Why are they sealed in jars so seriously and buried in the cellar? But the Qiangs scolded and couldn't explain them clearly. The more this happens, the more people feel, the more they have many associations.
Mr. Qian was impatient with the answer, so he took the jar to the dock, pulled out the knife to scrape the wax, and opened the lid. It was indeed the fine salt like white snow and fine sand.
It is said to be a cargo ship from the Governor's Office, it is said to be a salt cargo from the thief, it is said to be a cellar where a large house was excavated in Shaanxi, and nothing was confirmed. However, all the merchants present discovered the business opportunities. In Jining City, the news on this canal dock was circulating the fastest.
I guess these things have been seen by many people just now, and someone will come to know the truth afterwards. This news is almost certainly becoming more and more mysterious. Everyone knows who spread the news that Qing Yan is concentrating and calming in Jining City.
Today, the military man and the salt were almost delivered to the door. While the smart man was thinking, he heard the Qian shouting at the top of his throat:
"Four thousand cans of salt are all the best green salt. I also brought ten ships of loose salt, all of which were seized from the thieves. They all said that the old salt is good, but the new salt is bad. I just mixed the salt from the porcelain jar into the loose salt and sold it at the public price on the market. Our master is still waiting for the money to pay military pay!"
When everyone heard this, they were anxious. It was different from taking out salt in a porcelain jar. If they were taken out, the price would drop completely, and there was no concept of speculation.
The shopkeeper on the shore exhorted him, saying that the salt in the jar was in the jar, and the loose salt was loose salt. We bought the salt jar at a high price, and the loose salt was at the public price.
Everyone knows that Manager Meng is familiar with this military man, and the price will not be too cheap. He just wants to buy it at a slightly lower price than the fair price. He will definitely not make less money at that time. At this dock, the military man has made a lot of gimmicks. As soon as everyone shouts, the price will be raised.
There was also a man who settled the accounts on the boat. After a while, Mr. Li Qian shouted again:
"The porcelain jar has six taels of salt and silver, and the loose salt is six taels of salt and one tumbler!"
If the price is really green salt, it is not too expensive. The porcelain jar is something that cannot be explained clearly, and the price can be high or low. However, since Mr. Qian shouted out the price, it was the limit of bargaining for everyone.
There were bustling on the dock for a long time, and there were merchants coming temporarily. Manager Meng from Wenru Trading Company did not speak. Everyone knew that he was avoiding suspicion, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but believe it again.
The final price was 5 taels per pot of porcelain jars, 5 taels per tan, 10 ships of salt, nearly 3,000 shi, plus 4,000 cans of salt, and even 35,000 taels of silver were sold. However, although the taxes in Jining City could not be collected, the merchant's silver was not vague, and everyone inspected the goods and weighed them on the spot.
The Chamber of Commerce and several large merchants allocated the shares according to the size of the warehouse. Each company transferred workers to the carriages and ships to divide the carriages and ships. There were more people and more money and the power was also great. The salt was transported before dark. The porcelain jars were inspected and weighed in one can. It was really unambiguous. Each jar was about ten kilograms, and they were all good fine salt.
The silver goods were paid off, and then what Mr. Qian did made many people stunned. He actually took out these salts to sell Shandong salt indices!
Originally, everyone thought it was private salt sales, but the salt administration was abolished. There were backgrounds of officials and powerful people on the wharf. Who cares? Who would have thought that the salt was actually legal? When you saw that the salt gust was actually a real certificate issued by the Salt Transportation Department. It seemed that this was really a salt product that funded military pay.
Everyone believed in four or five points, and believed in a little more.
Before it was dark, some well-informed families had already known that a batch of good green salt had been found in the city, and they all went to familiar stores to buy it. When they saw the antique cans and rumors gradually spread on the docks, everyone was even more enthusiastic. As a result, when the salt in the morning closed, it actually sold more than 1,000 cans at a price of 10,000 cans, and many people who knew the news late came to book.
There are only about 2,500 cans in Jining City, and the rest are bought by other places. While sighing that their business is worthwhile, everyone decided to raise the price the next day.
On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the porcelain canned green salt purchased by the branch of the foreign merchants in Jining City had been shipped to the north and south. Moreover, there was a piece of the goods that seemed to be a market storytelling, which was easy to understand. I don’t know which merchant started, and someone hired a devastating literati in Jining City to write this explanation.
There is no gorgeous rhetoric or rigorous confrontation. It is just that this green salt was discovered by the rioters in the cellar of wealthy families around Xi'an Prefecture. It was intercepted by the imperial army and then taken to Jining Prefecture for sale. There are also rubbings of salt-induced salt. It is said that after the green salt cellar has been stored for a period of time, it not only has the effect of concentrating the mind and calming the mind, but also can eliminate poison and clear the heart. It is really a rare product for health care and skin care.
