Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Latest website:

As time goes by, the weather becomes colder.

But Yingtian Mansion was extremely lively, as if all the wealthy businessmen from the entire Ming Dynasty had arrived.

The merchants who got the news immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over with almost all their wealth. Even the salt merchant giants such as Wang Wenxian and Wang Fuguang were no exception.

There's no way, that's salt!

In the past, the imperial court implemented the Open China Law, and Shanxi Shanxi merchants made huge profits from it because of its unique geographical location.

Lianghuai salt merchants also made a lot of money by opening up the Chinese method, and there were many wealthy merchants such as Wang Fuguang.

But things are different now. The imperial court actually introduced a new salt law, abolished the Kaizhong Law, and implemented a new salt law!

The most shocking thing is that this new salt law stipulates that salt will be handed over to merchants to sell it, and the local government will no longer go through the process!

Merchants only need to participate in the auction and give a high enough price to obtain the qualifications to buy and sell salt in a place and become a local salt merchant protected by the imperial court!

The profits from selling salt need no introduction.

Once you become a local salt merchant, it is tantamount to getting a mountain of gold and silver!

As long as you build a good relationship with the court, you can even become a salt merchant giant inherited from generation to generation!

This is not as troublesome as opening a Chinese French store in the past. After all, merchants who wanted to get salt had to go to the salt field to exchange salt!

But getting salt is not an easy thing.

In addition to paying a lot of money, you also need to have a strong relationship, otherwise people will not love you at all.

Therefore, in the past, salt merchants suffered a lot in order to obtain salt.

When they heard the news about the new salt and the new salt law, they were simply overjoyed and immediately rushed to Liu's Port with all their wealth.

Because of this, the Lou Jiangxi Pavilion is already filled with wealthy businessmen from all over the world.

Zhou Chen looked around and got a preliminary impression of the people in the audience through the intelligence information provided by Jin Yiwei.

Most of the merchants were salt merchants who started their business by opening the Chinese method, such as Wang Wenxian, Wang Fuguang and others.

At this moment, the imperial court has introduced new salt and new salt laws, and since their personal interests are at stake, they naturally cannot sit still.

This is actually a good thing for the court.

The more merchants who came, the more conducive it was to the implementation of the new salt law.

Private room on the second floor.

Zhu Gaoxu and Xia Yuanji were chatting away, and Yang Shiqi and other important officials in the court were sitting next to them.

The salt method is the lifeblood of the imperial court, and there must be no mistakes, so a group of giants chose to come to the tasting in person.

Your Highness, King of Han, there are so many wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty?

Yang Shiqi glanced at the dense crowd of businessmen in the audience and felt a little surprised.

You must know that these merchants can only enter the market after an assessment and review, and their net worth is also reviewed.

You can't enter this auction site without millions of silver coins by your side.

Zhu Gaoxu was not surprised, and even felt that there were a little less people.

The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are only so many wealthy merchants. Is that a lot?

This tasting will last for three days, and there are many businessmen on the way. You are making too much of a fuss!

After hearing this, all the giants were surprised.

But they underestimated the heroes of the world!

There are so many wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty. This is a very bad phenomenon!

The imperial court implemented the national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business. To the imperial court, businessmen were just a group of restless elements who wandered around in pursuit of fame and fortune!

And most of them are salt merchants, who made their fortune by opening up China and France.

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: In the past, the opening up of the Chinese law could be said to have enriched officials and merchants, but suffered the people and impoverished the court. Now the fat and big-eared wealthy businessmen in your eyes are the best proof!

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the officials changed.

To put it bluntly, Kaizhongfa greatly reduced the court's income, but instead enriched these merchants and salt administration officials.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that the Kaizhong method, which the imperial court was so proud of, had such big drawbacks.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Gaoxu immediately ordered someone to send the news to Zhou Chen.

After Zhou Chen got the news, he immediately clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

This tasting involves the new salt law, which is a national policy.

It would be inappropriate for businessman Qiu Guangde to continue to preside.

Everyone, I think you all know the theme of this tasting, right?

The merchants nodded subconsciously. They had already worked hard and were waiting for the next auction.

Then, this tasting will officially begin.

Before the auction begins, please taste the new salt launched by the imperial court!

Zhou Chen smiled and clapped his hands, and soon a group of maids entered the venue and placed a small plate of new salt in front of each wealthy businessman.

Wang Wenxian took the new salt and looked at it, his eyes widened instantly.

White as snow, flawless, this is simply the best of table salt!

Compared with the coarse salt produced by the previous imperial court, this new salt looks thousands of times better!

Thinking about it, Wang Wenxian stretched out his index finger and dipped it in some new salt, then put it into his mouth.

As soon as the new salt came into his mouth, Wang Wenxian's eyes lit up and he was full of praise for the new salt.

This new salt has no strange smell at all, and is as pure as a royal tribute!

However, the production cost of such top-quality table salt is estimated to be extremely high, so its pricing will naturally not be cheap.

Someone couldn't hide their shock and shouted loudly: May I ask Mr. Zhou, could this salt be tribute salt?

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Chen smiled and shook his head.

This is not tribute salt, but a new salt that the imperial court is about to launch!

The imperial court has mastered the salt refining technology. In the future, our Ming Dynasty will no longer have coarse salt, it will all be this high-grade table salt!

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, UU Reading www. ukanshu.net Everyone was shocked beyond measure!

It’s all about this salt!

How can this be?

The imperial court is really a big deal!

All of a sudden, the merchants were talking a lot and could not hide their excitement.

Zhou Chen didn't rush when he saw this, but his face was full of pride and pride.

Let the people all over the world eat good salt. This is a great feat!

And all the credit should go to His Highness the King of Han!

People all over the world should know who developed new salt and improved the method of making table salt, so that they don’t have to be like before, unable to even eat salt, and even if they do eat it, it’s still inferior coarse salt!

The person who benefits all people in the world is none other than Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han!

Soon the wealthy businessmen all fell silent. They looked at Zhou Chen feverishly and kept urging him to start the auction.

The quality and appearance of this new salt are so good that there is no need to worry about lack of market!

That is to say, as long as you take the qualification of a local salt merchant and wait for the money to be counted!

For these profit-seeking businessmen, this is a fatal temptation that is hard to refuse!

In the private room on the second floor, Zhu Gaoxu's mouth curved.

The Kaizhong Law was abolished and the new Salt Law was implemented.

Then the Ming Dynasty would steadily receive tens of millions of taels of silver into its account every year.

Zhu Laosi, Zhu Laosi, from now on you can fight if you want to, and you don’t have to look at other people’s faces anymore!

It feels aggrieved to think about Emperor Yongle. A dignified emperor spends all his time looking at other people's faces because of money and food.

If he hadn't been giving him money, Zhu Laosi would have barely been able to put on his pants, let alone the Northern Expedition!

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a bad smile.

How about adding tens of millions of taels to the Northern Expeditionary Army and letting Zhu Laosi fight all the way to Western Europe?

I, Zhu Di, the emperor of Asia, the emperor of Western Europe!
