Win the Ding 1617

Chapter 34 Harvest

() "Countless jing salt? There is also an approximate number of these countless beards?!"

"Yes. The villain also said the same thing. He only said that even if it is calculated on the basis of 400 catties per quotation, it may cost tens of thousands of quotations!"

How many citations?It is only calculated on the basis of 800 yuan, and a quotation of 800 catties is 400 million catties. The salt gang only earns 4000 yuan per catty, and after deducting various losses and expenses, there will be as much as 24 yuan, [-] yuan. Ten thousand catties is [-] million Wen!wrong!It is [-] million texts!Today's silver price is getting cheaper, one tael of silver is exchanged for one thousand copper coins, so it is [-] silver.

If it was just a figure of 24 silver, the salt merchants would not be so nervous. You must know that people's mouths are getting more and more tricky as they eat. Is it the official salt mixed with earth and sand? !

This wind cannot last forever!

Soon, the salt merchants reached an agreement, and the Salt Merchants Association would come forward to report to the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy, Huaiyang Governor, Water Transport Governor, and Household Yamen, stating that this year's salt tax could not be paid, and the reason was It is the flood of private salt, and the sale of official salt is not smooth.If the salt tax is to be paid, the imperial court must step up efforts to investigate and suppress salt smuggling.

In addition, according to the amount of each family's nest and the amount of the shore, the public expenses were shared, and 45 taels of silver were collected in an instant, preparing to open up all joints and reward the anti-smuggling officers and soldiers of the River Defense Battalion.

Here they are drinking tea and talking, chatting and laughing, the housekeeper of He Mansion and the big shopkeeper of Yanhao hurried in.

"Master! Something serious has happened!"

Last night overnight, the salt farms located in Rugao, Dafeng, Yancheng, Haimen, etc. were bombarded and looted by pirates who came from nowhere, and the salt that was piled up in the warehouse for sale was dumped into the sea.

"This amount of salt cannot be produced even in half a year!"

A salt merchant was crying and wailing loudly.

When things got to this point, it was natural that the gathering could not go on any longer, so everyone left and went to check their own losses.

Fang Xinzhong was thinking about how much he would lose in this turmoil in the sedan chair, "Fortunately! I didn't put all my money on salt. Raw silk, silk and tea can help me get through this hurdle, but , you, surnamed He, are not as lucky as I am!"

Suddenly he had a new idea, "If, like the Salt Gang, I can get that much fine salt, then, will the He family be finished soon? This Jiangnan Jiangbei Salt Industry is headed by me Already?!"

Hon Gai Port in Ha Tinh has recently built a new five berth terminal.The native laborers and prisoners of war slaves relied on gunpowder to mine the rocks from Hengshan, combined with the original soil cement, which increased the speed of berth construction by countless times.

Outside Hongji Port, a huge fleet is slowly sailing into the harbor along the waterway.The masts of this fleet were all planted with a huge square military flag. On the flag, the pattern of iron and blood eighteen stars swayed in the sea breeze.The lead ship of the fleet is simply a scissor ship.Looking around, in a fleet of two-masted ships, the scissor ship is particularly eye-catching.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." The officers and soldiers of the artillery team on duty on the port fortress pointed to the number of the fleet with their hands, "42 ships! Throw away the five that the left officer took away. In addition to the ships, a total of 37 ships were brought back!"

"Boom! Boom!" According to the fort's combat duty regulations, the artillerymen began to fire their cannons to signal that all ships were moored outside the port.Soon, a scissor-style warship in the fleet came out more and more, and the sailors on the mast raised a flag with the word Li in a hurry while waving flags to the fort.This is the banner of Li Shouhan Navy.The remaining four warships are still on alert in the fleet.

"My lord, Xiaopeng is back!" Zuo Tianpeng reported to Li Shouhan somewhat proudly.

"This time going north, you and your subordinates have worked hard!"

"Although it's a little hard work, it's also very rewarding!" Zuo Tianpeng looked a little tired, but he couldn't hide the excitement and joy in his heart.

In Li Shouhan's view, the military significance of training the navy is far greater than the economic significance of obtaining several 10 taels of silver.After all, after traveling for one or two thousand nautical miles, the sailors' understanding and mastery of the ocean and ships is far from comparable to training in the harbor.

"What's the harvest, tell me about it?"

"My lord, 16 tons of fine salt are sold to the Salt Gang. The wholesale price is 4000 Wen per catty. The payment for each ton is 64 Wen. For [-] tons, it is [-] million Wen! The equivalent market price is The combined silver is [-] taels. However, we didn’t get back that much silver.”

"But why?" Shou Han knew that there must be some reason for this. However, looking at the dozens of two-masted ships outside the port, Shou Han was quite relieved. The experience of these sailors and gunners is worth the price of salt!

"My lord! Xiaopeng's mouth is stupid, it's hard to explain clearly at the moment, just speak slowly."

A lucky boat from the Guangdong Inspection Department is wandering in the sea. This is a No. 3 lucky boat. This lucky boat is already very dilapidated. The boards are of different colors and there are traces of repairs everywhere. , there is a Hongyi cannon at the bow, 20 heavy-duty Frang machine cannons on both sides, and about 2 small cannons. The inspector Qianhu Gao Zhenggang is lazily enjoying the cool in the cabin, while two maids are helping him Fanning the wind, there was still a cup of tea steaming on the coffee table at one side, "Master Qianhu, do you have a boat?" "Is it a fat sheep?" Gao Zhenggang said lazily, "Master Qianhu, I have never seen one before. The ship" the soldier exclaimed, "what?" Gao Zhenggang was startled, he had served as the inspector of Qianhu for many years, and his subordinates were all veterans, and he had never seen any ship.Even the red-haired ghost's warship is familiar by heart.Gao Zhenggang walked out, and when he saw it, he saw six big boats galloping towards him in the distance.

"Master Qianhu, do we want to intercept?" Li Baihu said, "Slap" he was slapped heavily by Gao Zhenggang, "You are impatient, haven't you seen their cannon?" "Let it go, let it go" he Shouted, "Master Qianhu, we are on their channel," just as the words fell, the sound of the bombardment sounded, and high waves arose not far from the blessing boat, "They fired the cannons" "Hurry up and hang the white flag, set off Sail, sail down!"

The lucky boat hoisted the white flag and lowered the sails. As expected, the opposite side stopped firing. It passed by at high speed, "I have something to do, hurry up! I hope all the officials will forgive me!" Someone on the opposite ship shouted, and then threw Put down a few wooden basins, and put hundreds of taels of silver in the basins. "They are not pirates, but sea merchants. Which company is it, with such a powerful force and sea ships?" Gao Zhenggang thought to himself.

The inspection department was just an episode on a long journey. That day, when he arrived outside Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, Li Peiting abandoned his boat and went ashore to find his old friends from the Salt Gang. Six cargo ships were moored overseas.

Sima Feng, the leader of the Salt Gang, was looking at the account books in the account book with a sad face. This year, the life of the Salt Gang has not been easy. The civil uprising in Shaanxi directly cut off the source of green salt, which directly caused a sharp decline in the work of the Salt Gang. The millions of people living in the Salt Gang depend on salt for their livelihood. Although there are sea salt from Jianghuai, Shandong and other places that can sustain them, the bitterness of sea salt is far less pure than that of green salt and white salt, and a large amount of green salt is used for washing.

"Master, someone is asking for an interview with a famous assassin," said the butler. Sima Feng's superficial identity is a wealthy businessman in Songjiang Mansion, and everyone in the gang calls him "Master." Li Peiting from my family." "What, it's him!" Sima Feng said in surprise, "Isn't he sent to a smoky wild land?"

"Master, are you seeing me or not?"

"There is absolutely no reason to see it. Back then, the second young master of the Li family also helped me with the Yan Gang."

"I came here this time to discuss a big deal with Chief Sima. I wonder if Chief Sima is interested?"

"Big business" Sima Feng looked up and down. Li Peiting was smiling, but extremely confident. Compared to a few years ago, he is more mature and mature, and he is no longer that playboy. It seems that the family has changed a lot and has affected him. very big.

"I don't know what kind of business my virtuous brother has to take care of this old man?" Li Peiting looked around, smiled and said nothing, Sima Feng waved his hand, and the servants who were waiting on him immediately withdrew. He walked up to Sima Feng with a cloth bag in his hand, and opened the cloth bag, revealing the snow-white fine salt. After a lifetime of dealings, I can tell at a glance that this bag of snow-white salt is not white salt from Shaanxi and Gansu.

"Is this the big business that my virtuous brother said?" Sima Feng tasted the fine salt, his face twitched slightly, the taste of this salt was so pure that it was not as good as green salt.

Li Peiting, however, noticed the changes on Sima Feng's face, took a sip of tea and said in an orderly manner: "Master Sima, this is just a sample, please verify it with the old leader, the goods are still at sea."

After the inspection, the Yanbang was overjoyed.Such fine salt, at a price of [-] Wen per catty, is enough for the Salt Gang to eat for several years.

"But I have conditions." Li Peiting's words calmed down several bosses of the Salt Gang.

"Mr. Li, please tell me."

"First, I want you to pay the price in one lump sum, first-hand money, first-hand goods."

"Naturally, let's do business! Naturally, the brothers will settle accounts clearly." Several bosses hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Second, arrange the manpower to ship simultaneously in Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and along the canal. In this way, your profits can be maximized!"

"Naturally! The Salt Gang eats this bowl of rice!"

However, when they learned that Li Peiting brought such an astronomical amount of salt, the bosses were immediately dumbfounded.

"800 million catties? 800 million catties?! 800 million catties!!"

Such a huge quantity requires a lot of money and goods, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.Although the assets of the Salt Gang are not more than one million, it would indeed be embarrassing for them to take out such a large amount of cash all at once.

What's more, it has to be shipped simultaneously in Nanzhili, Shandong Henan, Zhejiang and other places.

Seeing a huge piece of delicious fat in front of your eyes, the whole group of young and old are waiting eagerly, but you can't eat it, how can this be reconciled?

It is necessary to have a nice discussion with Mr. Li.

However, Mr. Li's words are even more itchy.

"This order is completed. From now on, I can supply you with 150 stones of fine salt every month. By the way, one stone is [-] catties!"

Thirty thousand stones! ? ! 150 catties per stone?That is 450 million catties!According to the court's salt quotation system, it is also 18 quotations!And every month!Converted into annual terms, it is [-] citations!

The bosses of the Salt Gang seemed to see mountains of gold falling towards them.

"Also, this time I went north, I brought [-] Juehu Dao and [-] funeral gun heads and barrels. I gave them to the brothers of the Salt Gang."

Extinct knife? !Death gun? !The bosses of the Salt Gang have all seen the weapons in the hands of sailors. The four-foot-long seedling knife known as the Juehu Dao can cut through nails, and the one-foot-long pure steel spear head can break through heavy armor.The sharpness of the knives and guns made of fine steel is far from the rags in the hands of the officers and soldiers.With such a guy in your hands, brothers, what are you afraid of?

"But, Second Young Master, you can't hide the matter of the Salt Gang from you. The brothers have searched all over the place, but they can't come up with such a lot of money! Also, the simultaneous release of goods in Jiangnan and Jiangbei that you said is of course for the sake of salt. Hello fellow brothers, I want to earn more copper coins for the bitter haha, but the salt has to be transported by the brothers, so where can the brothers find such a large amount of transport capacity? And store salt goods warehouse?"

"You don't have it, but someone has it!" Second Young Master Li had a smirk on his face.

"Who? Not those salt merchants?!"

"Cao Gang!"

Second Young Master Li awakened the dreamer with a word.wow!The main business of the Salt Gang is smuggling salt, but the Cao Gang also took advantage of the opportunity of the water boats passing through the north and south to entrain private goods wantonly.

Therefore, based on the common plan to make a fortune, the three parties sat together and had friendly, open and honest talks.

The result of the talks was naturally happy for everyone. The Salt Gang and the Cao Gang jointly ate the fine salt brought by Li Peiting, and Li Peiting guaranteed to supply [-] shi Jing salt to the Yancao Gang every month in the future.The Cao Gang uses the tank boats and warehouses in its hands to transport and store fine salt, and the Salt Gang uses its sales network to sell the fine salt, and the two gangs share the profits together.

As a result, the sales of fine salt appeared almost simultaneously in Nanzhili, Shandong, Zhejiang and other provinces mentioned above.

The two gang leaders of the Yancao gang also gritted their teeth and accepted Li Peiting's big axe. However, since the two can lead countless heroes in the world, they are naturally not easy to get along with. The two murmured in the corner and proposed corresponding requirements.

"In order to ensure the sales of our salt, we also ask the big son's gunboats to harass the salt fields in Yancheng, Rugao, Dafeng and other places by the sea, disrupting the supply of salt merchants, so that we have enough time to occupy the market!"

Got it!

Led by the guides of the Yancao gang, Zuo Tianpeng's navy cameo for a while as a pirate, and overnight the artillery bombarded the salt embankment by the sea, and the soldiers who followed the navy rushed into the salt field, destroyed the warehouse, and Coarse salt accumulated in warehouses was dumped back into the sea.

Then, loaded with raw silk, silk, porcelain from extortion, and of course, more than one hundred thousand taels of silver, the mighty fleet headed south.

"What about the 37 ships?"

"The fleet went south to the Guangdong Ocean, but was intercepted by pirates."
