The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 212 Prince Abacus
Can Yan Yin still be used for auction?

Li Shimin was originally skeptical about this, but thinking about Li Xiang's Zhi Da Bao, anything can be auctioned there, why can't Yan Yin?The original price was extremely fixed. Now if there is competition among all parties, the final price may not be easy to say. On the one hand, it can increase the income of the court, and on the other hand, it can also break the original sales pattern. For the court, Although it is said to have a hundred benefits and no harm, of course, for the major families involved in selling salt, this may be a devastating disaster.

"The Prime Minister is really smart. Why haven't you thought of this method? If we implement it, we will definitely be able to increase the income of the court. The most important thing is that we will not be controlled by others. There is also a big force in society now. They are interested in the five Qiwang is very dissatisfied, but they lack a channel for confrontation, or they dare not fight alone. If we bring Yanyin to the auction and let everyone compete fairly, it may be different."

Master Tang's words also made the other two people nod. After so many years of development in the Tang Dynasty, including the new nobles within the imperial court, they could only make money in some marginal industries. The truly profitable industries have always been dominated by several big companies. The family is in control, which has already caused their dissatisfaction. If there is such an opportunity, everyone can gradually participate.

Although the economic strength of the New Nobles is not strong enough to capture the sales of salt on a large scale, we can slowly penetrate it and only get a part of it at the beginning. As long as we can make profits from it, we will be able to win in the future. Are you still afraid that these people won’t invest?

"This is indeed a good way. If we can get salt at the same price, then whoever's salt has better quality will be able to achieve greater success, and this brat can get ahead of others."

Li Shimin instantly thought of Li Xiang's salt, which was still lying nearby. He had never seen this kind of salt before. When it was just taken out, Li Shimin was also surprised. He even took some of it and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, It's completely different from the salt I've eaten before.

"His Highness's exquisite salt is definitely the best. According to what His Highness just said, if it costs five hundred cents per catty, then His Highness will definitely occupy the high-end market. Once all the high-end markets everywhere are in the hands of His Highness, the rest will People can also make profits, but the auction of the salt has already cost a huge amount of money, so their profits are not that much."

Fang Xuanling also thought about Li Xiang's business. In the past, most of the profits from salt sales were in the hands of salt sellers, and the court could only receive a small part of it. Although in the early years of this dynasty, it felt that the price It's okay, but at this time, because of the increase in population, we are already a little dissatisfied.

"You are responsible for this reform. If anything happens, go to that brat to discuss it. If he is unwilling to contribute, you can give him ten citations in each government as I said."

Li Shimin also knows Li Xiang's character. Nowadays, a salt guide can sell three hundred catties of salt. If he can be given ten of them among all the governments in the world, then Li Xiang basically does not need to buy them. After all, all he sells are It's refined salt.

"This matter should wait for a while and must be carried out after the grassland auction. If it is carried out before the grassland auction, many people may return. Once they return with a large amount of money, our grassland strategy will be …”

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin nodded repeatedly. Mr. Tang was beside him and was confused. He didn't know what was going on on the grassland. He also sent some businessmen from his family to buy as much land as possible on the grassland. .

But Mr. Tang has nothing to worry about. He also knows that Li Shimin must be trying to deal with the major families. For their upstarts in the court, Li Shimin has been supporting them over the years, but the major families are too powerful, so There is no day to come forward at all, but after these two heavy blows, the major families will definitely suffer heavy losses. By then, the day for the new nobles to come forward will come. It depends on whether you can seize the opportunity.East Palace.

"You are so brave, you dare to touch the profits of salt merchants. Do you know who are the best merchants in the world? They are those salt merchants."

After Li Xiang came back, he told Li Chengqian his plan. Li Chengqian walked around helplessly. Although there was no salt gang in this era, salt merchants had already formed an organization. If their profits were affected, I still don’t know what trouble these people are going to cause.

"What did father say? I just gave a suggestion. It is my grandfather who really does the work. Even if someone is looking for him, he should look for someone tall. I am just following my grandfather to make a fortune. It can’t reach our heads.”

Li Xiang had already set his position from the beginning, that is, he only made high-end refined salt, which sold for [-] cents per catty, and ordinary people simply couldn't afford it.

"Although you say that, there is no airtight wall. Sooner or later, this news will spread. If everyone knows your idea, then more people will hate you, not to mention that the Wang family in Taiyuan is like this The biggest aristocratic family in there, they don’t do things as gently as the Cui family.”

Li Chengqian said worriedly.

"So what if I'm not gentle? The worst I can do is find someone to assassinate me. The eldest prince of Tuyuhun is still there. No matter how powerful the Taiyuan Wang family is, can it be more difficult than a country?"

After Li Xiang finished speaking, Li Chengqian also nodded. Everyone in the world knows that Li Xiang is a ruthless person. If you really send someone to assassinate him, even if you are a prince from another country, this guy will come to kill you. The Taiyuan Wang family should learn this lesson. Although they have inherited it for more than a hundred years, in terms of political power, they are still incomparable to Zatulke.

"So how much money can we make in this?"

Li Chengqian became interested again at this time. After learning that his son was not in much danger, this guy immediately took out his abacus. Now he almost never leaves his abacus. Someone outside has already given him a nickname. , that is Prince Abacus. Li Chengqian was not happy with it at first, but later he actually thought this nickname was very good...
