Subverted This is the Emperor Chat Group

The city is full of golden armour:

"Stupid, you've said so much, it's obviously nonsense."

"A merchant who sells salt is unclean?"

"The merchant who sells salt is colluding with the Shatuo people?"

"Is there something wrong with your mind?"

"Salt merchants are serious merchants."

853.The Price of Salt Soared 50 Times in the Late Tang Dynasty (4300 words for subscription)

Are salt merchants not serious merchants?

Should salt merchants be punished by the population?

Huang Chao was filled with righteous indignation at this moment, and he must expose Chen Tong's shamelessness.

The city is full of golden armour:

"Don't let Chen Tong be fooled."

"During the Tang Dynasty, people were allowed to sell salt!"

"Huang Chao, that's a serious businessman, what's wrong with selling salt?"

"Is it heinous to sell salt?"

this?

Zhu Di was stunned at the time. He originally thought that a guy like Huang Chao would be so beaten up by Chen Tong that he would be powerless to fight back.

But he found out that he was wrong, this guy is just as capable as Zhu Wen.

He actually discovered Chen Tong's mistake directly.

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"is this real?"

"In my impression, isn't salt and iron always a franchise?"

"Why did the Tang Dynasty open up the business of selling salt?"

At this moment Li Yuan had no choice but to speak.

The unremarkable Li family leader in troubled times, the heroic leader:

"This is because of your inertial thinking, because you always feel that in ancient times it was a salt and iron franchise."

"But have you forgotten?"

"When Emperor Sui carried out economic reforms, he abolished the liquor franchise in order to benefit the people,"

"At that time, the monopoly of the salt industry was also cancelled."

"That is to say, since the Sui Dynasty, things like selling salt can be done by private merchants themselves."

"The state just collects a certain salt tax."

"The Tang Dynasty inherited the system of the Sui Dynasty, and there is no change in this point."

I go!

Zhu Di patted his forehead, and then he remembered that Chen Tong seemed to have mentioned it before.

At this moment, Chongzhen opened his mouth wide, because this salt and iron franchise was the biggest profit in ancient times.

The previous dynasties gave up the liquor franchise, but the Sui and Tang Dynasties even abolished the salt and iron franchise.

This benefit the people is really too great.

But now he was concerned with another issue.

Self-hanging southeast branch:

"If the Tang Dynasty allowed the people to sell salt."

"Then Chen Tong's inference is problematic."

"Just because Huang Chao sells salt, Huang Chao can't be guilty!"

Huang Chao laughed loudly at this moment.

The city is full of golden armour:

"Listen! There are still people who understand this."

"As long as everyone understands the system of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao will never be wronged."

"What happened to the salt seller?"

"Salt selling is also an aboveboard business!"

"Chen Tong, you've been slapped in the face this time!"

Li Shimin was stunned at this moment, Chen Tong really lost!

Although he didn't win against Huang Chao, which made him very upset, he was still very happy to see Chen Tong being slapped in the face.

Eternal Li Erming Lord Sinner:

"I didn't expect Chen Tong to make such a mistake!"

"Or, does Chen Tong often do the same thing?"

"He always talks about practical analysis of practical problems, but he often uses inertial thinking to interfere with other people's judgments."

At this moment, Wu Zetian snorted, you really have a grudge against Chen Tong!

Now you don't even care about Huang Chao, your great enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and turned around to attack Chen Tong.

The emperor is really real.

The Heart of the Illusory Sea, the Eternal Emperor, the Overlord of the World:

"Chen Tong, slap them in the face!"

"I believe in you, I will not talk nonsense."

At this moment Li Yuan also shook his head, his son is good at everything, but he is too competitive.

He felt that Li Shimin must be unlucky this time.

Sure enough, the next moment Chen Tong slapped him in the face!

Chen Tong:

"Some people are just self-righteous!

The early Tang Dynasty adopted the system of the Sui Dynasty, which indeed allowed folks to sell salt.

Is it true that in the late Tang Dynasty, folks must also be allowed to sell salt?

This is taken for granted.

After the Tang Dynasty passed through the Anshi Rebellion, all industries were depressed!

The fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty plummeted, and his economy was on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't even afford the high military expenditure.

At this time, Yan Zhenqing, a famous calligrapher, gave up the loose economic policy since the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Directly let the imperial court start the salt industry monopoly, and the imperial court will purchase and sell all the salt.

From then on, the main fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty came from selling salt!

Do you know how much the price of salt in the Tang Dynasty increased because of this policy?

It directly increased by 10 times!

In the Huangchao period, because the Tang Dynasty enjoyed the huge benefits of the salt industry franchise, they increased their exploitation of the people.

Do you know how much the price of salt increased at that time?

On the basis of the Anshi Rebellion, he has skyrocketed by 5 times!

In other words, the salt price during the Huangchao period was already 50 times that of the early Tang Dynasty!

Tell me now, where did the serious salt merchants come from at the end of the Tang Dynasty?

Just like the Tang Dynasty, they just lie on the people's bodies to suck blood and drink flesh.

But they not only suck the blood of the people, they also need the blood of the Tang Dynasty!

If you don't understand, don't be silly!

Let's talk about it after we figure it out, okay? "

Yang Guang felt too relieved, so he should just hate them like this.

The infrastructure madman, the eternal ruthless king:

"Li Er, are you going to force me this time?"

"Do you really think Chen Tong is as duplicity as you?"

"Look at how many bad things your old Li family has done?"

"The price of salt has been raised to 50 times!"

"How does this make the people live?"

Zhu Wen was also stunned. The salt and iron franchise belongs to the salt and iron franchise, but you can't make profits from the franchise and at the same time speculate on the salt price yourself!

This td is sick.

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"I finally understand why Chen Tong can't see Li Longji so much."

"This guy is really disgusting."

"That's not how money is made!"
