"Come on, come on, everyone line up."
"Pay the fine and you can take the sea salt away."
"Don't worry, fill out the form first."
Tie Niu wore a sword at his waist and patrolled back and forth.
The county magistrate is in charge of the government office.
After verification, the seal will be affixed.
Salt merchants could then take the form to the rear to collect salt.
Tian Zhongxun looked at all this with indifference.
Only after they shipped out the truckloads of sea salt did he nod.
"Your Majesty, are we just going to endure this?"
"Hold on!" Tian Zhongxun snorted coldly, looking at the salt merchants and saying, "However much you pay in extra costs, you'll raise the price for me. The Linzi Salt Works is already abandoned, and the sea salt they produce is small and poor quality, it can't compare to ours. Even if you raise the price, they'll have to pay it with tears. Ning Que thinks he can make a fortune, but this money comes from the people of Linzi. I wonder how he can manage the people's livelihood?!"
"Okay, we got it."
The salt merchants all laughed strangely.
They have actually figured it out.
But I must ask Tian Zhongxun about this kind of thing first.
Don't just ignore them after they get into trouble.
"Let's go, I'll go now."
"I'm very familiar with Lao Zhang."
The leading salt merchant walked in front.
Behind him were many slaves pushing wheelbarrows.
It marched majestically through Linzi City, transforming into a long dragon.
Tian Zhongxun followed behind and also wanted to see what was going on.
After all, Linzi City is the main consumer market.
As soon as they arrived at the salt shop, they were stunned.
There was also a long and mighty dragon on the opposite side.
The leader is the owner of Linzi Salt Field, Wu Xian!
"Grass?!"
"What...what's going on?"
The salt merchant walked forward quickly.
"Lao Zhang, what are these?!"
"Sea salt."
"Huh?" The salt merchant was stunned. "What's going on? Where did you get all this sea salt from?"
"Of course it's from the Linzi Salt Works."
"No... Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." Wu Xian said calmly, "After the prince's improvements, the Linzi Salt Field has been completely transformed. On average, the daily sea salt produced is enough for the daily needs of everyone in Linzi. Moreover, the quality of our sea salt far exceeds yours, even comparable to pond salt!"
“???”
"What?"
Tian Zhongxun was dumbfounded at this moment.
He looked at Gu Yuan in surprise.
The latter also had a face full of question marks.
What is going on?
There is no such news!
He actually didn't pay much attention to the salt fields.
Because there is not much going on at the salt field itself.
He is mainly responsible for training the boat division.
He stepped forward trembling.
Inside the wooden barrel is sea salt as fine as snow.
He licked it gently.
The taste is slightly bitter.
In terms of taste, it is definitely better than Jiaodong.
"This...is this sea salt produced in Linzi?"
"Yes." Wu Xian smiled. "Because the journey is shorter, the cost is lower. We paid the salt merchants eight cents per catty, but after the prince's price adjustment, we can sell it for twelve cents per catty."
"Twelve coins?!"
"Grass!!!"
Tian Zhongxun's defense was broken immediately.
Obviously, they were cheated again!
"Where's Ning Que?"
"The King wants to see him!"
"How dare you, you bastard, play tricks on me?!"
Gu Yuan's face flushed.
Now everyone understood.
The so-called fine is deliberately meant to cheat them.
And it was expected that they would choose to raise prices.
Ningque first improved the salt fields.
Deliberately concealing the news of increased sea salt production.
Just sit back and watch them continue to dump sea salt.
Then news was released that there was an urgent need for sea salt.
After they are transported to Linzi on a large scale.
They used the excuse that sea salt was highly toxic to cause trouble for them.
Tian Zhongxun had no choice but to seek peace talks with Ning Que.
Ning Que pretended to agree and collected the fine first.
They were so eager to just pay the bill that they could raise the price of salt and not only make back their money but even make a killing. In the end, it would just make the people suffer, so what did it have to do with them?
Ning Que let go of the sea salt at this time.
Let them come in an endless stream.
The price of sea salt was successfully brought down.
Regardless of quality, the quantity is more than sufficient. The key is the low transportation cost. From the salt fields to Linzi City, it's only a few dozen miles. If you hurry, it'll arrive in half an hour.
But what about them?
It had to be transported from Liaodong with great difficulty!
So their costs will just be higher!
There is no way we can compete with Linzi Salt Field on price!
In other words, even if they finally redeem the sea salt, they will not be able to sell it due to the high cost. It will either rot in their hands or be sold at a loss!
"Ning Que? Where are you?!"
"How dare you play tricks on me?"
"Hey, what do you mean, King Qi?" Ning Que walked out slowly, hands spread out, and said, "Why, you're the only ones allowed to sell sea salt, and Linzi Salt Works isn't? The Linzi market is a free economy, emphasizing fair competition. I came to Linzi for only three reasons: fairness, fairness, and fairness!"
"If you can't sell your Jiaodong sea salt, then think more about your own problems. Have you worked hard to make salt over the years? Have you used your brain to improve sea salt? How can you say that it's my fault that you can't compete with the Linzi Salt Field now?"
"Fuck off!"
Tian Zhongxun's defense was completely broken.
This amount of money is actually nothing.
But he really couldn't bear this anger!
He has already given in and given the money.
But Ning Que tricked them again!
