Wearing a secret agent with many tricks, the cold and proud prince flirts easily

Lin Yunxi glanced at the salt shop, a little confused.

"Husband, who can open this salt shop?"

"The imperial court will distribute salt citations to powerful merchant families in each state and county, and the local magistrate will report to the court after strict review. Generally, only one salt citation will be issued to each state or county. This will make it easier for the court to understand the sales situation of the salt industry in each state and county. ." Murong Hao gave a general introduction to Dongsheng Kingdom's salt management system.

"Then is our sea salt distributed to states and counties according to quotas?" Lin Yunxi asked, thinking about something.

"Yes, the officials who manage the salt field in Jinwei City will receive the salt consumption table of each state and county approved by me every quarter, and then distribute the sea salt to salt merchants in various places. The amount is based on the population of each state and county. According to the calculation, the people in Beijing can eat cheap and high-quality sea salt, and the quantity is no problem.

Logically speaking, the salt in Lingyang City was calculated according to the same method, so there should be no problem. The problem should lie with the salt merchants. "

The salt industry is a major event for the country. Every quarter, Murong Hao will calculate the amount of salt allocated with the Minister of Household Affairs based on the growth of the national population. He is sure that he will not make a mistake in his calculation.

"Xi'er understands, I'll ask again." Lin Yunxi said, pulling Murong Hao into the salt shop again.

Just now, the waiter saw that the two couples were discussing outside the door for a long time to buy some salt, so he ignored them and went to receive other customers.

Seeing that the waiter ignored her, Lin Yunxi was not anxious. She held Murong Hao's hand and observed the people buying salt in the salt shop.

She found that most of the people who came to buy salt were stewards of wealthy families or purchasers in some restaurants. Of course, there were also businessmen doing small businesses like kebab stalls. There were very few ordinary people who came to buy salt.

After observing around, a waiter was free, so Lin Yunxi stepped forward to inquire.

"Brother, how much sea salt can you sell in a month? This sea salt is so expensive, so there should be very few people buying it." Lin Yunxi asked with a smile.

"Madam, you don't know. Our sea salt is actually the best-selling salt. You see, sea salt is white and fine. Rich families now only buy sea salt, not the coarse well salt. Otherwise, they don't buy the coarse well salt." Madam, buy two taels and try it, there is absolutely no bitterness." The waiter said politely.

"I see, will the best-selling sea salt be out of stock?" Lin Yunxi continued to inquire.

"Madam, salt is not like rice. A family can basically supply it for a month. We won't run out of stock. In the future, if you get used to it, we can deliver it to your home. We have all kinds of sea salt. Our boss is Lingyang The only salt merchant in the city has plenty of goods." The waiter saw that Lin Yunxi had her face covered, but her eyes were watery, and she could tell that she was a beautiful lady, so he was willing to talk to her more.

"Thank you, waiter. I'll think about it again. The price is too high." Lin Yunxi pulled Murong Hao and ran away.

The waiter shook his head. This lady came to the shop twice, and it was obvious that she was interested in sea salt. She probably didn’t buy it because of the high price, but it’s also true that ordinary people can’t afford sea salt.

"Husband, why don't we go to their warehouse and have a look. I just saw them moving a lot of bags of salt out from the back. The warehouse should be behind the shop." Lin Yunxi came to the door and said to Murong Hao, who had never spoken.

"it is good."

The two walked for a while, found a deserted street corner, and entered the technology library.

The couple came to the salt shop again and saw that the waiters went to the back of the shop after selling salt. It seemed that Lin Yunxi's guess was right. The warehouse of the salt shop was behind the salt shop.

The two followed a waiter to the gate of the salt warehouse. The waiter had a key in his hand. The couple were shocked when they saw him open the two-layer thick iron door.

The entrance of this salt warehouse may not look big, but the inside of the salt warehouse is very big.

Lin Yunxi visually estimated that it was as big as two modern basketball courts, and it was filled with shelves filled with salt bags.

"Husband, the salt merchants in Lingyang City are hoarding salt. So much sea salt must be allocated to them by the imperial court." Lin Yunxi sighed and looked at Murong Hao. The country is so big that there are indeed many places that need to be managed. If you are negligent, someone will take advantage of the loopholes.

When Murong Hao saw such a huge amount of sea salt piled in the salt warehouse, he naturally understood what Xi'er meant. This salt merchant did not sell salt according to the price set by the court. Instead, he secretly hoarded salt and sold it to rich people at a high price. From this, The high profits made the people unable to afford salt.

"It seems that these cities in the south are all in the same situation." Murong Hao analyzed.

Several cities in the south are very close to each other. If the price of salt in one state or county is high and the price of salt in another state or county is low, the people will definitely know about it.

"Husband, it seems that there are quite a lot of problems in the south." Lin Yunxi said with emotion.

"Well, let's go. Let's go shopping with Xi'er first. Today I mainly go shopping with Xi'er." Murong Hao did not forget the purpose of going out today and couldn't let these bad things ruin Xi'er's good mood of going out to relax.

"Okay, let's go shopping and go straight to Wanguang City." Lin Yunxi's purpose today is to find out what is lacking in the southern market. In addition to the projects in the Dongxia Chamber of Commerce, her industry may have other new business opportunities.

The two of them left the technology library again and went shopping seriously on the street.

Lin Yunxi first visited the jewelry shops in Lingyang City. She found that the styles of jewelry in the south were older than those in the north, and the craftsmanship was not as exquisite as the gold jewelry in her Xiyue Jewelry. It seemed that Xiyue Jewelry could try to open a store here. shop.

The two visited the ready-made clothing store again. The fabrics of the ready-made clothing in the ready-made clothing store are naturally not as high-quality as those in the capital, and the styles are certainly not as novel and colorful as those in the capital. The ready-made clothing can also be shipped directly from there for sale.

Lin Yunxi walked around and found that there were some things in the southern market that were not available in the north. Naturally, there were things in the north that were not available here. It seemed that he could slowly transfer some of his industries to the south.

The two of them walked around for an hour. Murong Hao was a little worried that she was tired and reminded her.

"Xier, why don't we take a break? You must be tired after walking for so long with your belly full."

"Okay, it's almost time to visit Lingyang City today. Let's go to Wanguang City. That should be the focus of our inspection today." Lin Yunxi wanted to rest for a while. The south was different from the north. Although it was already the beginning of autumn, the weather was still special. hot.

The couple once again found a street corner and entered the technology library.

"Xier, please rest for a while. My husband will write a letter." Murong Hao poured a glass of water for Xi'er and asked her to rest on the sofa. He went to the study on the second floor.

Not long after, he went downstairs with the written letter. When he saw the sleeping person leaning on the sofa, Murong Hao shook his head helplessly.

He went upstairs again and brought down the thin blanket, covering her up.

"You're so tired and still so capable. Is there really no one else but you?" Murong Hao gently helped her lie down, sat next to her, and flew towards Wanguang City with his mind's technology library.
