Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 138 Has reached a desperate situation
Sure enough, even though Li Shimin had read the letter and knew the production of Yantian, he still said it face to face and it was exciting!
A gleam flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

Seeing that Li Shimin had come to his senses, Li Xiao asked Fang Xuanling about the specific situation, after all, the letters were all about important things.

"What else can we do to stabilize the price of salt?"

Fang Xuanling thought that Li Xiao was just chatting, and then said it in detail.

"At the beginning, the Zheng family raised the price of salt very high, creating panic!

The people in Chang'an City began to rush for it, and people who needed or didn't need salt were hoarding salt.

After I took back the salt from Luoyang and other places, I thought about selling it at a low price like opening a warehouse to release grain in a famine year.

However, the common people seemed to be crazy, they kept buying, and even stipulated that they would only sell one catty at a time, and the queues were long.

In a few days, the salt shop of Xinyi Commercial Bank ran out of salt to sell.

Even if Niuzhuang produces non-stop day and night, it is useless. Our sales price is set high, and the common people go directly to Zheng’s Salt Store to buy it. Only a few big households want good salt for themselves, and some traders flock to Xinyi Commercial Bank to buy Snowflake Salt. , but it is useless against Zheng.

They are mainly sold to the common people.

If I didn't last for a few days, I was sold out!

When the salt from Shu was brought back, the price was slightly raised, which was a few cents lower than Zheng's, but the good times didn't last long, and the persistence lasted a little longer than the first time! "

Li Xiao stared at Fang Xuanling eagerly, expecting him to continue talking.

"What are you looking at me for? It's gone."

"It's gone?" Li Xiao had a look of disbelief, "So, just like this, there is no wave?"

"Master praise!" Li Shimin scolded Li Xiao.

What is called a wave did not set off a wave. Fang Xuanling was also exhausted during this period of time. There was no credit but hard work. Before he said anything, Li Xiao came to a conclusion?
If the subjects are at odds, can the court still be stable?
Li Shimin can still figure it out.

Li Xiao hurried forward, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, "Uncle Fang, I didn't mean that, I just said that there was no harm to Zheng's business!"

"Forget it, I also know that you said it unintentionally. By the way, where is the salt team now?"

Li Xiao estimated the time, "It should be entering the boundary of Wannian County!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, with the Xinyi Trading Company's workshops spread all over the place, the population of people in Chang'an City has increased. Although nearly 50 salt has been brought back, it goes without saying that it is only 50 catties of salt. You can only buy half a catty, and there are many rich people in Chang'an City. If there is good salt, it may be sold out immediately!
Li Shimin was also embarrassed to speak again, and bowed his head to the Zheng family in Xingyang in disguise. In a few days, another batch of salt was shipped.

If you can repel Zheng's, it's called shame and courage!
If after three or five days it is sold out again, and there is no salt to sell, that would be self-inflicted humiliation!
Li Shimin's face became more and more complicated, he wanted to wait for Cheng Yaojin to transport salt back to Chang'an again, and fight a good turnaround.

But I couldn't wait any longer, thinking about saving some face first.

Li Xiao looked at Li Shimin's tangled face after the book case, stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, you can't make a decision on a whim!"

"I suggest that the salt we bring back be piled up in Niuzhuang, and then dyed with a little sulfur and mixed with some sand. Anyway, it is to make our salt look poor!
Let Mrs. Zheng take it lightly, so that we can make a decision before we move! "

A little sulfur dyeing has little effect on health, and it is not a long-term consumption, so it is not a big problem.Make up your mind before moving?
Fang Xuanling got up and said, "Your Majesty, there is another piece of news that I haven't had time to report to you!"

In fact, it wasn't that there was no time, but that Fang Xuanling didn't dare to irritate Li Shimin with bad news!

But now, might that turn into good news?

"Oh? Any other good news?"

Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard the good news, he immediately regained his spirits, changed his slump, and leaned forward to ask.

Fang Xuanling still kept a hand for himself, and didn't say enough, "I don't know if it's good news, but this news is very important!"

"Some time ago, when Xinyi Commercial Bank sold salt at a low price, didn't some merchants buy some?"

"Among the vendors, there are old customers of Xinyi Commercial Bank. I got some news. Recently, the Zheng family in Xingyang is buying salt in Jiashi Zandu! I don't know what they are holding back!"

Li Shimin frowned and muttered to himself, "In Chang'an City, the Zheng family in Xingyang has won the game, and he continues to hoard salt? Is this going to change places and continue to kill all the small salt dealers in the ten states of the world?"

Li Xiao listened to Li Shimin's murmurs, and combined with the practice of the water bandit who was a flower in the Yellow River, it was really possible that the Zheng family in Xingyang still wanted to expand the results of the war and eat the salt business of several states?
Does he have such great ability and appetite?
"Your Majesty, although I'm not sure whether the Zheng family will continue to invade the salt industry of other state capitals, we must guard against it!"

Li Shimin asked, "Where do you think the next place will be?"

Fang Xuanling replied without hesitation, "Luoyang! There are 49 salt ponds in Tang Dynasty, and there are [-] of them in total. It is controlled by the Zheng family, so the possibility here is extremely high!"

"Master Zan, what do you think?"

Li Xiao organized a lot of words, not only to express his thoughts, but also to take into account the face of Fang Xiang.

"Your Majesty, it's too early to say these things. They're just hoarding them now, and they haven't started shipping them yet. It's just fun to speculate at this time."

Fang Xuanling also understood the meaning, it was because he disagreed with his own opinion, and he was too embarrassed to say it, "It's okay, let's just say it, don't tell me the old man can't listen to other people's opinions?"

"I think the possibility of Jiangnan is higher. Jiangnan is rich, has a large population, and there are fewer salt ponds around. If you really want to do something, it's pretty good there!

After Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling listened, their eyes lit up, and they all estimated the possibility of Jiangnan!
Seeing that Li Shimin and Li Shimin's discussions were in full swing, Li Xiao found an excuse to slip out.

Go straight to Princess Changle's mansion!

When the guard at the gate of the mansion saw Lord Li, he quickly stepped forward to lead the horse and fall.

"Where is the princess?"

"Report to my lord, the princess is in the back house!"

Li Xiao rolled his eyes and asked Dangbai, but that's right, the doorman in the front yard couldn't possibly know where the princess was.

"Don't worry, you don't need to report, I will go in by myself!"

The boy hesitated a little, but he still didn't stop him. Although it was unreasonable, the princess also ordered that there is no need to report Lord Li's arrival.
