The struggle of the reborn prince

The update is super fast! At the same time that Zhao Tong was developing weapons, Huang Jingchen was making a fortune in the capital. After he exchanged the old banknotes he bought in the early stage into banknotes, he immediately arranged for someone to sell them. Even if he sold them at a par price, his profits doubled. Four or five times, just like in the current stock market, a few yuan a share of junk stocks in the bear market has caught up with the policy market, and immediately turned into a phoenix, with continuous daily limit, becoming a dark horse stock

There is still half of the salt bills exchanged for the backlog of supplies in the Zuo Zang warehouse. Huang Jingchen's earlier investment has taken effect immediately. These people also know which side of the kang is hot. It became old, and the old became tattered. As a result, 20 salt notes were exchanged for [-] things, and these things were good things like silk, spices, ivory, and gems. A lot, but they are all worth a lot. If these things are sold, it will be conservatively doubled

According to Zhao Tun's instructions, Huang Jingchen asked for hard currency when selling, gold and silver were the best, and copper coins were also acceptable, but he couldn't ask for banknotes. Looking at the gold and silver treasures in the room, the old man was once again overwhelmed by the prince's foresight. Yes, just when he sold the salt banknotes in his hand at the fastest speed and moved the things back, the left storehouse of the imperial court did not have so many utensils for the salt merchants to exchange. If you exchange it, you can only be Lei Feng. As soon as the news comes out, the value of the salt money will immediately depreciate, and no one cares about it.

Monopoly will always be popular, and government-business collusion will always make a fortune. Those salt merchants who took the first train received the salt money from the goods, and quickly completed the formalities. Regional sales, grabbing the first opportunity Salt merchants are welcomed by parents and officials in various states and counties. In some areas in the north, even livestock are counted

The annual production of salt is limited. When issuing banknotes and exchanging old banknotes, several years of salt banknotes are remitted together. The pioneers have already started to spend a lot of money. Those unlucky ones who took the last stick Looking at the hundreds of thousands of salt banknotes I bought, I feel like crying without tears. I have to wait a few years to raise the salt. Even if the policy remains the same, I have to add more money when I change the banknotes; At that time, the warehouse was cleaner than the rice bowl licked by the dog; if you want to sell it again, no fool will want it

These people were rich and powerful a few days ago, and in a blink of an eye there were only a few butt wipes left. They went to petition, and a large piece of paper was pasted on it to discuss the goods, and they went bankrupt in a short time. Salt merchants walk all over the street. If you are mentally healthy, you can still beg for food and go home with a stick. If you are poor, you can jump into the river and hang yourself.

Some people are happy and some are sad, and the officials in the places where salt is produced are very angry. Most of their office expenses were supported by salt tax, which was one of the main sources of local finance, but now it is lost by the salt banknote law. Choke off their necks, so what to do?Fortunately, there are rules to follow, what to do in the past few years, what to do now, just like implementing the Young Crop Law and Baojia Law to pass on the crisis, just peel the salt merchants again, you can’t take the salt away with the capital’s salt banknotes , you have to buy it again or add some taxes. In short, you have to shed some blood, and let us pluck a few hairs

The salt merchants were unwilling to suffer, and immediately raised the price of salt. A bag of salt was 3 catties, which increased from 4000 renminbi to more than [-] renminbi. The local government helped to sell the goods, and the result was that the common people suffered untold misery, but Wei Bochu presided over the business of goods in the capital, and at this time merchants gathered, and the income of salt bills skyrocketed, with the highest annual income reaching [-] million yuan. Double the total annual income of Emperor Taizong, which is equivalent to two-thirds of the total annual income of Emperor Shenzong Yuanfeng of Song Dynasty.

"Okay, drinking at night, you underestimate me." On the roof of the house in the outer courtyard, with his feet hooked on the eaves, he peeked at the movement in the house in the posture of hanging upside down, humming softly.

"Yangtou, I'm going out to pee." A nursing home greeted Yang Feng, pushed the door and came out, just as he unbuttoned his pants, he saw a black shadow flashing away, "Who? Stop" he shouted loudly while holding his pants

"What's the matter?" Hearing the shout, several other people in the room rushed out with knives in hand

"A black shadow, hanging on our window, saw me run away into the room." The nurse who was peeing was frightened, urinated and held back, pulled up his pants and said

"Search, you can't let him run away. The mansion is not peaceful these days. Yesterday, the storehouse was stolen again. I lost Zhang Shengshang's imperial brush painting. I even had the big manager scold me. What did you say today that you can't let him run away?" "Yang Feng ordered the guards to beat the gong immediately, and he led people to start searching. The whole outer courtyard immediately became lively, the lanterns were lit everywhere, and the guards who were watching the night searched around with torches.

Maybe it's because the trees attract the wind. Since the end of the year, the guards in the mansion sometimes found dark shadows appearing on the roofs and corners. The speed was very fast, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye. Some nursing homes said they saw someone and sounded the alarm, but after searching, they never found anything, and after checking the mansion, nothing was lost.

After a few troubles, everyone thought it was dizziness, and no one took it seriously, but in recent days, there have been repeated thefts in the mansion, first in the steward's room, and later in the warehouse, but no one has seen the thief. The warehouse has also been rectified, and there is no strange thing about the thief throwing things. All we can do is to strengthen the guard and increase the number of manpower. more and more expensive

Later, the thief was discovered twice, but this guy was very skilled, he jumped through the house like walking on the ground, his speed was astonishing, and when they moved the ladder to the house, he was gone. After chasing them, they were all thrown off by him. Even Meng Tao who had been in the rivers and lakes, Yang Feng couldn't keep up.

"The thief is running to the backyard, hurry up!" The lookout post on the night watch on the turret spotted it first, shouted and waved the lantern to guide the direction, and the guards and Zhuang Ding scattered all over immediately gathered to guard the passages at each intersection, forming a a big circle

"He's on the tree..." a guard in the courtyard found the thief and shouted loudly. Meng Tao bent his bow and shot an arrow. Everyone knew that his arrow skills were amazing, and they thought that the thief could not escape the arrow, but in the end People were surprised, the thief twisted his body, turned to the branch of the tree, stretched out his hand and hit the arrow shaft, and knocked the arrow to the ground

"Huh..." Meng Tao was very surprised, and drew out the second arrow to shoot again, but the thief grabbed the branch with both hands and swung it violently, jumped onto the courtyard wall, flew a few steps on the wall less than half a foot wide, He fled, grabbed the eaves of the roof, turned over to the roof, and hid behind the ridge of the roof. Seeing that the target disappeared, Meng Tao threw away his bow and arrow angrily, ran a few steps, grabbed the rafters with his toes, and climbed onto the roof. A guard with good kung fu also jumped up with the help of his companions, but just as they showed their heads, they were smashed down by two flying tiles

"Thief, let's see where you are going!" Meng Tao shattered the thrown tiles and shouted loudly. He also saw clearly that the thief was short in stature, wearing a black and gray night clothes, with only two eyes showing through his mask. don't see anything

The thief didn't seem to be afraid, and jumped up and down on the roof. Meng Tao couldn't catch him for a while. After a few rounds, the thief accelerated and ran along the roof

Meng Tao looked at him with a sneer, and then chased after him. This is a group of houses in Dongkuayuan. Hearing the movement, the people living in it all came out to check the movement. The guards also surrounded the place. He will bump into people while running. If he doesn't go down, he will be behind, so he can only jump to the roof of another row. He has practiced for so many years across a passage that is more than one foot wide, and he dare not say that he can jump over it. , this little thief can really be said to be unable to escape...

There are too many things today, I can only write so much now, please bear with me
