Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

After everyone heard the words and thought for a while, He Yao was the first to say: "Maybe, this is actually another kind of revenge for him against the aristocratic family?"

"Isn't that enough before?!" Jiang Hongkai gritted his teeth, "Is he trying to take a layer of skin off the noble family!"

Lu Xuanji also said deeply: "...Considering the fact that a large number of salt sales channels are in our hands, then this is the revenge of King Li You of Chu is very likely!"

"But Li You, King of Chu, is still too tender after all. After all, he is just a little boy. Did he really naively think that this would hit us a lot?"

Saying that, a sneer flashed across Lu Xuanji's face.

"King Chu Li You also underestimates me and other noble families! At first glance, this method is indeed directly damaged, but when there is a shortage of salt, a necessities such as salt, there will be riots in Youzhou, and then the consequences will be self-inflicted. He is still the one who is the one, so it must be Li You, the king of Chu, who can't stand it first!"

"That's right!" He Yaoyi clapped his hands and said, "The methods of King Li You of Chu are still too superficial. Why don't we do the opposite?"

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

He Yao (Zhao Qianhao) gave an inscrutable smile and said, "First of all, we use the official salt channel to hoard a lot of salt before the policy comes down, and you also use your financial resources to do the same thing. There is a shortage of salt in Youzhou, so we will sell it when the price of salt rises!"

"Of course, we will also invest a lot of assets to operate this matter, because at that time, we will benefit greatly, and Li You, the king of Chu, has to beg us to solve the problem of salt!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, Jiang Hongkai excitedly said: "This is possible! Isn't it the most popular way to store grain in the past? It's also time for King Li You of Chu to see what the terrifying power of aristocratic families is. It's gone!"

This is the end of the second meeting against Li You, and countless orders have been sent out to all parts of Youzhou, and the whole Youzhou is secretly surging!

Chapter 222 The Killing Blow!

A few days later, various taxes on salt merchants were released as scheduled, called "trial operation regulations", which made salt merchants miserable.

However, this is good news for aristocratic family members who can rest assured that they can store salt!

Soon, the major families mobilized their full power to hoard the salt in Youzhou, and the official salt channels of Sima Tian and others also spared no effort, and invested a lot of their belongings in this matter.

After all, given the preciousness of salt, it can be described as a hard currency comparable to gold in this era, and it will not depreciate in any case. Therefore, they are extremely secure in what they collect, without any psychological pressure.

Under this unprecedented force, in the blink of an eye, the warehouses of each company were filled with bags of salt, especially when Lu Xuanji looked at the mountains of salt in his warehouse, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"I didn't expect to see so much salt in such a day!"

Lu Xuanji sighed with emotion, Fan Yang Lu is the most powerful family in Youzhou, so he has the most salt hoarding.

However, even with the financial resources of the Fan Yang Lu family, it is very difficult to collect so much salt. After all, the salt mountain in front of you is like a mountain of gold and silver, a mountain of gold, silver and jewelry that you can eat!

And because of the crazy hoarding of the tyrannical family in Quanyouzhou, the price of 397 salt has also risen in the middle, causing them to spend a lot of money.

However, it doesn't matter. When Youzhou has a salt shortage, it will be the time when all the hardships will come to an end. By that time, you will definitely be able to earn back a thousandfold!

Therefore, this is just a necessary up-front investment, and even if it is an astronomical amount of money, there is no need to make it painful.

"Wait until that time, when you, King of Chu, Li You, come to beg me humbly!"

Thinking of this, Lu Xuanji was in a good mood, and instructed his servants, "Go and invite all the patriarchs and all related acquaintances to the Lu residence."

"The previous plan can have such a complete success, I want to host a banquet for you to celebrate the upcoming victory!"

……

In Youzhou Governor's Mansion.

People who tasted refined salt that day also gathered together, and Yin Hao was responsible for reporting recent trends.

"As expected by His Highness, as expected, they began to adopt the strategy of hoarding salt frantically. Your Highness is really a clever plan!"

(bace)

At this time, Yin Hao admired Li You, who was swaying leisurely on the reclining chair. Although he looked lazy, he easily controlled the overall situation with such a lazy attitude!

"It's just an inevitable development, and whoever will do it."

Li You said casually: "And there are also fellows who are second-in-command from all over the world, which means that even the official salt channel can easily get involved, so of course they will not give up this strategy with the right time and place."

This can be said to be the hole that Li You dug for the noble family, but they jumped down with joy.

"Your Highness is really humble!"

Ma Hao also said with admiration, in his opinion, it is easier said than done to grasp the psychology of the old foxes who are in the shopping malls?What's more, at the age of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

Even so, His Royal Highness the King of Chu still showed his side of genius, and he was neither arrogant nor impetuous. With such intelligence, it was impossible to see that he was an immature young man.

Even so, His Royal Highness the King of Chu still showed his side of genius, and he was neither arrogant nor impetuous. With such intelligence, it was impossible to see that he was an immature young man.

The rest of the people heard the words and nodded in agreement, but what they didn't know was that these profound business experiences that they thought were difficult to fathom were just knowledge points that were edited into books in later universities!

Therefore, in Li You's view, there is no secret, and every move of the noble family is under control.

Rather, the more powerful the family is, the more in line with the correct knowledge points in economics, the easier it will be predicted by Li You.

It can even be said that it was precisely because they were too powerful that they were completely eaten by Li You, otherwise, if they were replaced by a stunned young man, Li You would not have guessed what kind of madness he would get.

"By the way, how did you do the things you explained to you before?"

Li You suddenly asked.

"Go back to His Royal Highness the King of Chu," Yin Hao said respectfully, "The factory that secretly convened people to make refined salt has been very effective. Using His Royal Highness's method to make salt is extremely efficient, and now it can supply the entire Youzhou people!"

"Very well, it's time to close the net and give the enemy a head-on attack!"

Li You suddenly jumped out of his chair, full of energy.

The reason why he let those noble families collect so much salt was not only to ensure the greatest blow, but also because Li You also needed time to make refined salt.
