The price of salt in different periods and regions of Daming is different and fluctuates greatly.
In Zhu Rong’s fiefdom, the prices in different regions are also different.
In previous years, when the price of salt was the most expensive, one pound of salt was equivalent to about 200 yuan. When cheap, it is equivalent to about 50 yuan.
From this price, it can be seen how scarce salt was at that time, for ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to call it a luxury, even when the price is the cheapest, it is equivalent to 50 yuan a catty.
The current price is not cheap, almost 150 yuan a pound.
And at this time, the team under Zhu Rong began to take refined salt, fine salt and ordinary salt to sell to various states and counties in the fief.
Refined salt has the highest grade, followed by fine salt, which are all exchanged in the system, and salt is a common salt on the market.
The first wave was introduced with refined salt and ordinary salt.
The price of refined salt is about 1000 yuan a catty, and the price of ordinary salt follows the market price, 100 yuan a catty, how much can be sold.
Soon, the refined salt that appeared on the market attracted everyone’s attention.
Those who can afford this refined salt are the powerful and rich merchants and landlords, and ordinary people are willing to pay for such expensive refined salt.
And with the circulation of these refined salts, the news that the Seventh Prince had arrived at his place to seal it also spread completely throughout the fief.
With the active spread of salt dealers in the fiefdom, the news that His Royal Highness King Qi will plant two new crops, sweet potatoes and potatoes, this year, has also been known to many landlords.
The yield of these two new crops is extremely high, according to the salt sellers, up to 100 stone per mu.
Whether it was refined salt, or two new crops, they caused a huge sensation in the entire fiefdom.
Potatoes, which were only introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, were carefully cultivated, but because the number was too small, the expansion time was very slow, and the potatoes did not save the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not widely planted until the Qianlong period.
The sweet potato was introduced to China with corn and other crops during the Wanli and Tianqi years of the Ming Dynasty, and was widely planted in Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces.
Because of its high-yield characteristics, it is particularly popular with the people.
However, due to many external and internal reasons, sweet potatoes and corn were not widely promoted and did not save the Ming Dynasty.
This sweet potato popularized by Zhu Rong is a sweet potato. Potatoes, which are also directly exchanged by the system, are not poisonous. It can be directly planted on a large scale, and the amount of potatoes and sweet potatoes he can exchange from the system is relatively limited.
It is too wasteful to eat directly, and it is most suitable to use as seeds.
When this year in the land of the Three Jins, drought broke out, and a large number of displaced people came to Qidi, and Qidi has obtained a bumper harvest, which is enough to cope with this round of natural disasters.
Then, the news will inevitably reach the imperial court, and at that time, these two crops are bound to attract the attention of the imperial court, and no matter what kind of pressure is encountered, Zhu Yuanzhang, who comes from a peasant, will definitely spare no effort to promote it.
This is Zhu Rong’s initial plan!
And within Qidi, it really caused a huge sensation.
At first, everyone’s attention was only on the fine salt, because this thing is too fine, compared to the rough and yellowed salt, this refined salt is even more delicate than the fine salt used in the palace.
The grains are finely crushed and uniform, crystal clear, like a work of art!
Compared with conventional fine salt, its accuracy is not the same, not at all above an equal magnitude!
You know, Qi Di is also one of the important production areas of salt.
Part of the fine salt of the imperial court was paid tribute from Qidi.
The salt merchants of Qi Di had never seen such fine and beautiful salt.
And those responsible for selling are all the servants of His Royal Highness King Qi. According to them, this is ground by His Royal Highness King Qi through special means, specially supplied to dignitaries and dignitaries, and is the best salt in the world today.
The price, although 10 times more expensive than regular salt, is definitely worth the money.
And this kind of salt, indeed very popular, although expensive, but no matter in what dynasty or generation, there are always people to consume luxury.
Compared with ordinary salt, the amount of refined salt is relatively limited, so it soon caused high-ranking officials and powerful people and rich merchants and landlords to compete for procurement.
A small amount of refined salt could not hit the market price, but soon, the fine salt of His Royal Highness King Qi also began to be sold.
As soon as this fine salt came out, the salt merchants were a little unable to sit still, because the quality of this fine salt was also very high, even much better than the palace, but the price was only slightly more expensive than ordinary salt!
As soon as this fine salt came out, it immediately seized a large market share.
The price is similar, and the quality of this fine salt is obviously much better, the salt has many impurities, the grains are large, and it is far less convenient to use than fine salt.
Moreover, fine salt, which was previously a luxury that ordinary people did not dare to think of, is now about the same price as ordinary salt. Moreover, this is the business of His Royal Highness King Qi, and there is no risk in buying and selling!
Weddings and funerals, used to give away, etc., the use of this fine salt can be described as worth the money!
Although fine salt has not replaced salt, the really poor people, most of the time, still use salt, but it has a great impact on the interests of salt merchants.
They are already in unison, unable to raise prices at will and seek windfall profits.
Even in order to stabilize the market, the price of salt had to be reduced in order to distinguish it from the price of fine salt, and the price was reduced to increase sales.
No way, since this is the financial path of His Royal Highness King Qi, the salt merchants naturally can’t say anything, they can only let him plunder the original market share, in King Qi’s territory, salt merchants, no matter what background, who dares to go against His Royal Highness King Qi.
And at the same time as the fine salt spread, the caravan sent by the king of the second wave of Qi also brought the second news.
As long as they are the landlords in Qidi, they are about to purchase high-yield sweet potatoes and potato seeds from King Qi!
Moreover, in the first year of procurement, there is no need to pay silver taels, just sign a contract, and the harvest obtained, Qi Wang Mansion can get three out of ten!
This is a proper temptation, and for every landowner, it has great temptation!
You don’t need to pay silver taels to get high-yield crops, and you can make no loss. All he needs to do is to provide the land for the tenants to take care of, and then when the harvest comes, give thirty percent to His Royal Highness King Qi.
A steady profit!
Although everyone is skeptical of the rumor that mu produces hundreds of stones, the news, after all, came from His Royal Highness King Qi, what if, is it true?!
Especially His Royal Highness King Qi took out refined salt and fine salt that everyone had never seen, and even the quality of the salt paid tribute was better, and he was a little shocked by this means of King Qi.
Unfortunately, these two acres of crops that produce hundreds of stones are also true.
A famous landowner was moved one after another and reported his name and the amount of land that could be provided to His Royal Highness King Qi’s caravan.
