Since there is no place to learn the tricks, I'll just figure it out myself.
What made Liu Feng even more unable to stop was that the tricks Liu Yan came up with were very practical.
Either do it all at once, or do it in a weird way.
In short, it's very strange, but Liu Feng likes it because it's really too tight.
After getting up, Zhou Wanggui couldn't wait to go forward.
"Master Liu, the matter has been settled. Please follow me to the Salt and Iron Office to handle the relevant paperwork."
Liu Feng had already asked Zhou Wanggui yesterday, and the most important symbol of this identity was the official badge of the salt merchant.
Although they are not officials, they are government-businessmen, so there will be a sign and approval documents.
The reason why it went so smoothly is also related to the current situation of the Dali Dynasty.
First of all, there are not many salt-producing areas in Dali, and there are not many locations close to the sea.
Therefore, the Dali Dynasty has always encouraged salt merchants to send people to the mountains to search for salt mines.
Otherwise, salt is the lifeblood of the country, and we cannot always buy it from neighboring countries. If we rely too much on it, if one day the two countries become enemies, the supply may be easily cut off.
If there really is a war and the salt supply is cut off, the livestock will have no salt and will not have the strength to go to the battlefield, and the soldiers will have no salt and will not have the strength to fight. How can we continue the war?
The second reason why officials and businessmen did so much business in the salt business was because the tax on salt was high.
Salt tax occupies a lot of lifeline of the national economy.
Taxes paid account for 40% of the revenue and are an important source of tax revenue.
However, salt is a daily consumer product for the general public, so the state has set the most basic price standards.
Taking all factors into consideration, salt merchants actually did not make much money, but the demand for salt was high, so salt merchants were generally among the richest people in the country.
Sometimes local officials could manipulate the appointment and dismissal of salt merchants to make them their own people.
