I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 508, Overseas Gold Mountain

Jia Xu's method is still extremely effective. The prefects and county magistrates from all over the country took the people under their rule to watch the granary that looks like a giant forest. A grain stack is 3000 shi, and each granary has hundreds of stones. Such grain stacks!
The county magistrate Zhao Gui said loudly: "This is the smallest granary in Dagan. It already has more than 500 shi of grain. And there are nearly [-] such granaries in every state and county in Dagan. They store grain. More than fifty million stones!
With so much food, you still have to worry about the devaluation of paper money!These grains alone can be sold for 1000 million yuan. With this little money in your hands, you are worried that the ruling will be corrupt! "

The local people looked at the granary and thought that the price of Daqian has not changed much in the past ten years, but this time they are dragging down the government. If they hadn't bought all kinds of goods, the price would not have skyrocketed like this. I'm a little ashamed.

Zhao Gui chased after the victory and said: "It's okay for you to buy food, even if it is thousands or hundreds of shi, you can eat it up after a few years, but if you buy a jar of sauce and hundreds of shi for salt, you want to eat it for a lifetime What! I just told you to buy an extra set of clothes and you are reluctant to part with it, and now you can’t finish eating the salt, I see what you will do!"

After being reprimanded by Zhao Gui, many people finally came to their senses.

"It's over, it's over, I've spent all my savings for the past 10 years!" A person said with a sad face.

"The bad thing is that you are still an old member, and you don't even believe in the ruling. All these years, our house, land, cattle and sheep are not given by the ruling party. Even the land was given to us. The ruling party will be greedy for our little money!"

After hearing this, everyone finally came to their senses. Not everything you have was given to you by the ruling government, so how could you be greedy for your own little money.

"Fortunately, all I bought was grain and cloth. At worst, I would stockpile food ahead of time. If I eat more for a few years, I will finish it! I will make a few more new clothes from the cloth!"

And those people who have bought salt, sauces, and even steel for hundreds of years look sad. Although these things are daily necessities, they don’t use much, especially steel. Make another blast furnace to forge iron.

Youzhou, Quanxian, Yantian Factory!
The director of the factory, Xi Zhong, led a group of people to a mountain of salt piled up more than ten feet high and said loudly: "I heard that many of you even robbed the salt. I have studied for a few years and learned a few words. How come I am still so stupid? When people casually say that our money in Hebei is worthless, you believe it. It’s okay to buy food, but there are still people robbing salt near the salt fields. .”

"Many of your family members also work in salt factories. Don't you know that our salt factory is currently unsalable. I am trying to find a way to sell salt to distant places every day. Now you are doing me a favor. After spending most of it, whoever wants to speak up now, I will give you as much as you want!"

The hill-like pile of salt dazzled everyone. These people have spent most of their lives eating high-priced salt. In their three views, salt is not much different from gold and silver to a certain extent.

To many people, this mountain of salt is a mountain of gold and silver. Of course they are dazzled by such a huge wealth.But now that Xi Zhong told the truth, everyone remembered that the price of salt had never exceeded three renminbi in the past few years, and the rise to six renminbi was caused by their own speculation.

A commoner whispered: "This is not to say that banknotes will become white paper. We are also afraid that half our life savings will become white paper. Of course, there is something to grab. We have the most salt, so we have to grab salt!"

Xi Zhong found that there were still people who refuted, and walked up to this person and said angrily: "You never thought about how you and your family will live in the future if this thing is fake? Can you eat up the hundreds of stones of salt in your family? What should I do with the money?
Salt is still as valuable as before. Now as long as the sun is shining, the salt from the salt factory will come out continuously. The salt produced by our salt factory alone is enough for the whole world to eat. In the future, even if there is a shortage of food , Salt is also impossible to be short of!Now your house is full of table salt, let me see how you can eat it all! "

Such a plain salt mountain in front of their eyes, together with the endless white salt fields not far away, finally destroyed their three views and made them realize that their wealth for half their lives was locked up by these salt.

"It's over, our family's money is gone! This is the savings I have accumulated over 10 years of frugality!"

"Director, my kid can work in the salt factory, you can't leave me alone, I want to return all the salt!"

Xi Zhong said angrily: "Do you think you are children! Because your whole Hebei is in turmoil, which even affected the ruling party's attack on the Central Plains! Now it's too late to return the goods, think about why you grabbed the salt in the first place!"

"Have we lost our heads and believed in the rumors, thinking that our banknotes in Hebei are really going to turn into blank paper like Yuzhou!" The people present were almost crying. I bought a lot of unnecessary things in my home, even food and cloth, these necessary things are enough for several years or even ten years.

"Director, please help us a little bit, we don't want our property to end like this!"

Many people were afraid after a while. Although they followed suit and bought other things, at least they didn't put all their property on it. Otherwise, the crying people in front of them would be them.

Xi Zhong said helplessly: "You can't return the goods. I have a friend in Lelang County. He is the director of the whaling factory. A Kunpeng there weighs millions of catties and needs tens of thousands of catties of salt to marinate. Lead you to transport your own salt to Lelang County, and there is a giant island not far from Lelang. There are several savage countries on it. They don’t know how to dry salt at all. The price of salt is high. Go to the islands of those savage countries, and then exchange their fur and spices for other goods, so that at least some losses can be reduced!"

The people had no choice but to listen to the loyal ones. The people of the whole county took out all the salt in their hands and set up a joint county-wide company with the salt as assets to transport their salt to Lelang County. and the island.

The table salt going to Lelang County is basically at a loss-making stage. After all, there are salt fields in Liaodong.It's just that the output is not as good as Youzhou, so the whaling factory needs to transfer salt, but the price must not be high, but Xizhong's salt price generally doubles, so this business sells much more profitably, and can only reduce some losses.

However, the gains from the giant overseas islands exceeded Xi Zhong's imagination. They thought that the salt could be exchanged for some fur or special products on the island, which could reduce some losses.

But they never expected that the special products on this island are gold and silver. The local savage tribes and countries, after seeing their snowflake salt, immediately offered a large amount of gold and silver to trade. They transported ten boats of salt and brought it back. They bought five shipments of gold and silver, and the profit from this trip alone was more than a hundred times. Not only did the people of Quan County not lose money because of the panic buying, but they made hundreds of times more money by accident, and opened up a business route.

And because their company is county-wide, it can be said that the people of the entire Quan County have benefited from a misfortune and made a lot of money!
The news of the overseas gold mountain caused a sensation in the whole of Youzhou. The gold and silver were actually loaded in ships, and five ships were loaded in a row. How much gold and silver must there be in this small overseas island.

For a while, it overwhelmed the turmoil of panic buying in Hebei, and the turmoil of panic buying in Hebei quickly subsided with the appearance of Treasure Island.

Everyone held on to the money in their hands, and ran to Youzhou one by one to inquire about the situation of Treasure Island, so as to take advantage of this wave and make a fortune.
