According to common sense, Caiyi feeds Li Xin a cup first, and Caishang feeds the next cup, and then gathers three cups. In fact, no one of the two girls refuses to feed Li Xin wine. A tea picker like them has long been destined to be given away, and the tea tea can only be given away with the lips.

Relatively speaking, Li Xin was young and tall, with a handsome face, and captured Yangzhou again, and was at its peak. It was better to give it to him than to an old man. Moreover, when Li Xin was accompanied by the two beauties, he did not laugh or make unclean small moves. He was a person of duty. No woman in the world liked erotic embryos. Cai Shang was still secretly calling the Bodhisattva to appear, but Li Xin's intention of refusing was undoubtedly revealed, and his pretty face immediately became dim.

"Uh-huh!"

Caiyi coughed lightly and reminded her. Caishang came to her senses, took the wine glass, and said with a forced smile: "I thanked the commander, please!"

Cai Shang covered her face with her sleeves and drank it all in one sip. The sweet rice wine actually brought some bitter taste. Her heart couldn't help but feel sour, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes.

Li Xin also drank the third cup.

This result was beyond the expectations of the salt merchant and began to talk in a low voice, and Liang Chengdao and others looked at each other.

They did have the idea of ​​packing colorful clothes, colorful clothes and lips tea to Li Xin. These two girls have been trained since childhood and asked someone to teach music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and musical singing. If they were placed in brothels in Nanjing, neither of them would be inferior to Bian Yujing and Li Xiangjun. With Li Xin's age, it was when the heroes were in full swing. They were sure that Li Xin would accept these two beauties, but from the moment, it was very bad, and they also felt that Li Xin was difficult.

"Play~~"

Li Xin suddenly turned his body and faced dozens of salt merchants. He blew his palms and shouted loudly: "Everyone, thank you for the banquet today. I am a man with a shallow drink. After drinking a few glasses of wine, I can't hold back my words. I know what you care about. I believe that the news of the establishment of Lianghuai Salt Industry Corporation and the abolition of the salt system have already reached you. This is related to the interests of everyone here. So, I will introduce Lianghuai Salt Industry Corporation first and then answer your questions."

"The organizational form of the company comes from the Netherlands. I know that someone must have contacted the Dutch East India Company. I won't say much. The current Lianghuai Salt Industry Corporation is rebuilt on the basis of Lianghuai Salt Industry Field, and the principle of separation of production and accounts is implemented. The accounts are made by the Finance Corporation, and the production is carried out by the Salt Industry Company. Wang Bingquan, the former Chongming Salt Industry Field Ambassador, serves as the general manager, responsible for all matters in production and sales... "

Everyone in the banquet listened with tilted ears. Even Gao Yigong, Zhang Nai and Shuangxi listened very carefully. They wanted to understand Li Xin's strategy of governing the country.

After a while, after Li Xin finished speaking, the salt merchants looked at me and I looked at you. Liang Chengdao coughed lightly and asked: "Commander, please forgive me for saying frankly. What's the use of abolishing the salt induction system?"

Li Xin nodded and said, "The Ming Dynasty implemented a salt monopoly system. Whether it is salt production or salt consumption, it was managed by the court. Eating salt not only limited to special supply channels, but also required designated pricing and sales, so that the people either had money but had nowhere to buy salt or were too expensive to afford it.

I have learned that in recent years, the average price of selling salt to salt merchants per kilogram is 50% and 60% to the people. In Huguang and Jiangxi, each kilogram of salt is 10% and 5% per kilogram of salt, and Nanjing is 10% and 20% even if the transportation costs, the cost of intermediate resale and reasonable profits are included, and the result is that private salt is flooded. Although there are severe punishments, it has not only been banned, but has become increasingly serious. The root cause is that ordinary people cannot afford official salt. I believe you have a headache about private salt, right?"

The salt merchants were perfunctory to accompany him.

Zhang Nai whispered: "Mr. Li has made full preparations. It seems that these salt merchants will not have a good life in the future."

"snort!"

Shuangxi snorted coldly: "The salt merchant is not kind to the rich, but this false benevolence and righteousness of the surname Li. If I want to change me, I will definitely copy the salt merchant's family. I will definitely copy it with a thousand taels of silver. I don't believe that the Li surname is not jealous."

Gao Yigong snorted and swallowed violently. Yes, he directly searched the house Duolixo. He didn't believe that Li Xin was not moved by the wealth of the salt merchant, and he didn't understand what Li Xin sold in the gourd.

Li Xin also said: "The salt industry is both the pillar of the country and the foundation of people's livelihood. However, judging from the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, due to the adoption of the salt monopoly subcontracting system, the supply of salt is extremely unbalanced in terms of regional and price, and there is a trend of collapse. How to maintain a balance between the two has become an urgent problem to be solved.

I mentioned earlier that the Netherlands is a fully market-oriented country. What is market-oriented is that the supply and demand price is decided by the buyer and seller of the market, rather than the official intervention. Therefore, I relaxed the sales of salt and abolished the salt system to promote the marketization of the salt industry. However, the quality of salt must be controlled from the source. If the quality of salt is not up to standard, it will kill people. Therefore, I reorganized Lianghuai Salt Field to Lianghuai Salt Industry Corporation."

As he said that, Li Xin glanced coldly and most of the salt merchants looked heavy.

“Haha~~”

Li Xin smiled again and said, "You don't have to worry too much. If you want to say that the impact is definitely there, but it will definitely not be as big as you imagined. After all, you have financial advantages and channel advantages. Non-commercials can't compete with you. Let's take a step back and say that the cost of transporting salt is very high. Who would have nothing to do with the money to buy salt from the salt company? Right?

So, under normal competitive environment, your advantages are very obvious, and salt is sold openly, so you no longer have to lead salt to various government offices. I am talking about the ugly things ahead. Everyone who is sitting here, please don’t take extra money to get salt from the Salt Industry Corporation. Now the Ming Dynasty is in charge of accepting bribes. When the time is ripe, I will also have to formulate a crime of bribery."

“Hahahaha~~”

There was a burst of laughter below. Listening to Li Xin's joking, the salt merchants thought it was the same. If you want to sell salt, no matter how much money an outsider brings, he would have to lose money. Besides, there is not a small amount of money he can make every year. Officials at all levels of the Salt Transportation Office, prefects and local yamen, should not handle any of them? After a year, you can take out at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Although the salt merchants are rich, their money does not fall from the sky, and the road to becoming rich is full of hardships.

The salt merchants in the hall all recognized the abolition of salt induction. Only a few people including Liang Chengdao, Wu Shimin, Shen Taiming, Huang Qiqian were still sober and did not believe that Li Xin would be so kind. After all, the salt merchants had their own situation and had huge wealth, which was not a glorious method. In the eyes of the court, it was actually similar to fat meat. After being fattened, it was also an important reason why the salt merchants needed to manage the government.

Of course, Liang Chengdao and others were just secretly planning, and it was impossible to question Li Xin in person.

"Everyone, everyone, Yangzhou is prosperous because of the salt industry. It is a prosperous city. I only have one requirement for everyone. Pay taxes as usual. As long as you pay taxes, the Revolutionary Army will protect all your legitimate rights and interests. Now, I would like to ask everyone, what is your impression of Yangzhou?"

Li Xin asked loudly again.
