Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

however!

As soon as Zhu Wanhua said his own words, he was stunned for an instant.

"Uh!"

Zhu Wanhua's face was full of embarrassment. He understood the emperor's intention of doing this.

Just for a moment——

Chu Xianzhang understood the benefits of doing this without Chu Xianzhang's explanation.

The emperor took control of the salt fields and had a tax inspection department dedicated to investigating smuggling.

It is really difficult for a wealthy family to evade taxes.

Of course, if the salt merchants wanted to undermine the emperor's new policy, they still had a way - they just needed to eat all the salt produced and keep it in their hands without selling it to the outside world.

Wait until the people have no salt to eat, then spread the news and stir up conflicts between the people and the emperor.

In this move, Donglin Zhuxian, the man behind the salt merchant, played the game very well!

However, this must be based on the fact that the output of the salt industry cannot be broken through in a short period of time.

This point - with cement and the emperor who promoted the drying method of salt production, at least he had no shortcomings in producing salt.

This is not to mention that the emperor’s exploration team has already found Chaka Salt Lake and Chaerhan Salt Lake in Qinghai.

The salt mines in these two places are so rich that they can be called huge!

Chaerhan Salt Lake is the second largest salt lake in the world after the Bolivian Salt Lake.

He is truly the King of Asia!

Even in future generations, the Chaerhan Salt Lake alone will be enough to feed all mankind for 2000 years!

As long as wealthy families are willing to spend money, Zhu Youjian will use pure white natural salt to build them a cross-sea bridge!

This is not bragging!

On the Qarhan Salt Lake, there is a 32-kilometer-long natural salt bridge, which is called the "Ten Thousand Zhang Salt Bridge!"

As long as the wealthy families are willing to give money, Zhu Youjian will dare to give it to them!

Even - wealthy families eat all the salt produced...

For Zhu Youjian, this is a great event!

If a wealthy family dares to eat one stone, Zhu Youjian will order the production of ten stones!

The more wealthy people eat, the happier Zhu Youjian will be!

The salt tax was already added when it came out.

The more you buy, the more taxes you pay to the emperor.

However, the rate at which people eat salt is quantitative.

The more salt Haomen Village has, the longer it will be kept in its hands, and the greater the loss will be!

With this move of the emperor, it seems that everyone can become a salt merchant and earn huge wealth in the salt industry.

In fact, the speed of sales of salt merchants is the factor that determines whether they can make money!

Under the new policy - the emperor is the biggest beneficiary!

And what about the common people?

Will the wealthy gentry who have hoarded a large amount of salt add the money they lost to salt, raise the price, and let the common people pay for their investment mistakes?

As soon as Zhu Wanhua thought of this idea, he was rejected by himself again.

Eunuch Chu said - everyone can do business and sell salt.

In other words, the original monopoly position of the salt merchants has disappeared.

The purchase price is fair.

Anyone can be a salt merchant, and whoever sells salt will have a fixed price!

In the new Ming Dynasty, the price of salt has been controlled to less than five copper coins per catty from the previous common twenty or thirty copper coins per catty.

Even in places such as Shandong and Beizhili, because they are closer to the salt fields, the price of salt is only three cents per pound.

Why did the price of salt drop so fast?

In addition to the emperor's implementation of the salt-drying method, the bigger reason was the abolition of the monopoly of salt merchants.

The ex-factory price of salt is one penny per pound, plus tax.

In other words, the ex-factory price is two copper coins and one pound of salt.

Even ordinary people can sell it if they buy hundreds or ten kilograms!

Including the expenses along the way, two to three hundred copper coins can be used to participate in the activities of salt merchants. People who have no other skills and want to make money from business all become salt merchants.

If you're close, you can just pick up a pole and sell salt.

A little further away, you can push a cart and pull back a cart of salt.

Those who were farther away, rowing boats or driving ox carts, could still pull back hundreds of kilograms of salt.

In this world, as long as authority is relaxed, there will never be a monopoly again!

Once the salt merchants raise the price, a large number of people will naturally go to the salt field to buy salt for sale.

As long as there is a profit, the common people are the most "anxious"!

The common people are the smartest people in the world!

The common people who can survive in the most difficult environment are no less wise than the wealthy families!

As the old saying goes - the talent in one county is enough to conquer the world and dominate the country!

With the current situation of national participation, how dare salt merchants raise prices?

——Whoever sells at an outrageous price will not be able to sell his salt!

In this way, the emperor and the people will ultimately benefit!

The emperor's new policy instantly weakened the possibility of salt merchants raising selling prices.

After all, money is in people's pockets. If the price is too high, they will naturally find a cheaper seller!

Everyone can be a salt merchant, which eliminates the possibility of adulteration by salt merchants!

High!

Zhu Wanhua figured it all out and couldn't help clapping his hands and praising:

"Your Majesty's move is really beneficial to the people!"

"Yes!"

Chu Xianzhang smiled and nodded:

“This is why the Handu business group is getting stronger and stronger.

The reason for the increasing prosperity under His Majesty's rule.

Because Your Majesty has removed all obstacles for the people!

Long live the Lord often says - if the people can control it, let it be done; if they cannot control it, know it!

Xiaohuazi!

Only by opening up people’s wisdom can we have a future! "

"The general will take it for granted."

Zhu Wanhua had a smile on his face.

This drunken trip to the building was not in vain.

The Ming Dynasty will surely prosper again, and he has seen hope.

As long as the country is strong and prosperous, what can he, as a minister, not let go of?

The emperor treats his family well!

At that time, his father was repeatedly attacked, but Long Live Master resisted the pressure and put his father in a position of importance.

Although I also encountered hardships in the end...

But what about it?

Even if the emperor has to retreat——

But saved their lives!

Zuo Guangxian, the boss of Donglin, put all the charges of rebellion on him!

Zhu Wanhua is not a fool.

For such a big crime, if the emperor hadn't guaranteed death, his entire family would have been raided and beheaded!

As long as the country can become stronger, his father will not complain, let alone the son of man!

Zhu Wanhua looked serious:

"Governor, the last general has only a sincere heart and a hundred pounds of flesh and blood.

Ever since that incident in Xu Du, the general's heart has long been dedicated to His Majesty!

Why not let yourself die?

The country is in so many troubles, and our people have been ravaged, but the general is willing to lead his men to protect the country and the people!

Today, the Governor's words have reached this point.

I swear to God in the end——"

Zhu Wanhua raised three fingers and pointed them at the sky.

His face was solemn:

"The Governor is His Majesty's personal entourage, and he represents His Majesty's will.

As long as the governor has an errand, the general will definitely take the lead, even if he is killed in battle, he will not hesitate! "
