NOVEL WEB Chapter 34
Two days later, he brought a white-bearded old man who looked to be about fifty years old to see Qin Xuan!
This old man is still holding the Lushan Waterfall Viewing Map sent by Qin Xuan before!
It seems to be Tian Feng!
"Tian Feng greets the lord!".
"Yuan Hao, please hurry up, are you still satisfied with this painting?"
As soon as he talked about this painting, Tian Feng's whole person was in good spirits
"Lord, this painting is really a master's work!".
"I actually saw a depressed and depressed atmosphere in this painting, which is very consistent with my previous state of mind!"
"In the end, the painting expresses freedom and indifference!"
"I can say that this painting is in my heart!"
Qin Xuan laughed
"Haha, it's good if Yuan Hao likes it!".
Tian Feng continued,
"But I think it's a waste of this painting for me!"
"I think this painting should also be kept in the library for people to look at and learn!"
"I heard that the lord has established a library in Jizhou and put all the palace books in Luoyang in it!".
"Here, Tian Feng first thanked the lord for leaving these treasures for the world's scholars!".
"If it weren't for the protection of the lord at that time, these books might have been ruined!"
Qin Xuan accepted Tian Feng's gift with peace of mind, after all, he did have a protective mind at that time!
Tian Feng respectfully returned the waterfall view map of Lushan Mountain to Qin Xuan!
"Tian Feng has one more thing to report!".
"Recently, the price of salt in Yecheng, Jizhou has been rising, and the people are almost unable to afford salt!"
"And when I was chatting with Gongda, Gongda also noticed that other towns in Jizhou had the same situation!".
"If this continues, sooner or later, something will go wrong!"
Qin Xuan couldn't help but ponder, this person would be weak if he didn't eat salt!
Not to mention fighting, it's hard to cultivate land!
So this problem must be solved!
Jizhou has been no problem before!
Now that I occupy Jizhou, there is a problem of soaring salt prices, and it is estimated that those families are doing something!
Qin Xuan asked tentatively
"Yuan?".
Tian Feng replied
"The Lord is wise!".
"All the salt merchants related to the Yuan family raised their prices, and other families also followed up to raise prices when they saw that they were profitable!".
"The reason is that there are yellow turban thieves everywhere now, and they are very risky to transport salt!"
"And they released the news that Yuan's army was all thieves, and there was no spare strength to escort salt to Jizhou!".
"So in the next few months, the price of salt in Jizhou will continue to rise!".
Qin Xuan sneered
"These big families don't want to make a profit for the people, but make a lot of money!"
"What a bunch of vampires, don't stop if you don't suck the blood of the people dry!".
"This Yuan clan is going to give me a horse!"
"Do you really think I can't help it?".
Take out a map and point to the three counties of Bohai, Zhangwu and Leling!
"Look at what these three counties have in common!"
"Three counties near the sea!".
"Gongda is right, we are going to use these places to make a fuss!"
Tian Feng and frustrated were shocked
"The lord wants to make salt from seawater?"
"Absolutely not, there were people who used seawater to make salt before!"
"But the salt it makes not only tastes bad, but also spoils many people's bodies!"
"Some of them are serious and even die directly!".
"If the sea salt flows into Jizhou, not only will it not help things, but it will also cause greater turmoil!"
"The lord must not do such a short-sighted thing because of the short time!".
Qin Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the word short-sightedness, no wonder this Tian Feng was not treated by Yuan Shao!
He really can't speak sometimes!
Obviously, the meaning that can be expressed very tactfully has to be expressed in such a straight way to the heart!
"Gongda, Yuan Hao, don't worry!".
"The salt made from seawater tastes wrong and is poisonous, just because there are too many impurities!".
"But I have a way to get rid of these impurities, and the sea salt will be able to use it naturally!"
Frustrated, Tian Feng was shocked
"Is what the lord said true?"
"If you can really use seawater to make salt, then seawater is inexhaustible, not to mention that it will only be supplied to Jizhou!"
"Even if it is supplied to other states and counties, it is possible!"
"I don't know when the salt-making method mentioned by the lord will be produced!".
Qin Xuan thought about the official sunny season now, and after the salt pond is ready, salt can generally be produced within five days!
Counting transportation and production, it will be able to supply Jizhou normally after a month!
"One month, it can meet the salt requirements of the whole Jizhou!".
Tian Feng groaned for a moment
"So how to solve the problem of salt this month?".
Qin Xuan said,
"I can supply unlimited salt for this month!".
Just kidding, it's just salt, just exchange it in the system, and the two brothers Yuan Shao still want to use salt to give themselves a boost!
Tian Feng was overjoyed
"Then I'll rest assured, I can't be idle this month!".
"Oh, Yuan Hao has a plan?".
"Yes, yes, but it may damage the prestige of the lord a little!"
After speaking, he explained the method, and when Qin Xuan heard that this strategy was indeed feasible, it was a little disgusting in the early stage!
As Tian Feng said, it was a big blow to Qin Xuan's prestige in the early stage!
But there is also a benefit, that is, to pit these profiteers to the bottom!
Let them no longer dare to manipulate the prices in Jizhou!
Waved his hand weakly
"I agree, Yuan Hao will go down and implement it!".
At this time, the big salt merchant sent by the Yuan family to be the shopkeeper here was still discussing the price increase in Jizhou with the big love watches of the major families!
Someone asked
"Big shopkeeper, did Yuan Gong say how much salt can be paid out for a stone?"
"Now it's two thousand dollars a stone, I think it's very high, I don't know what the big shopkeeper thinks?"
The shopkeeper snorted disdainfully
"It's only 2,000 yuan, you can figure it out, don't come out if it doesn't rise to 10,000 yuan!".
"Ten thousand yuan? The lowest price of salt is only 400 yuan, and when it rises to 10,000 yuan, it is not more than 20 times!"
"What is the price of this salt?"
"Is this salt a matter of whether to eat it or not? This salt is a question of having to eat, so I think the big shopkeeper is right!"
The Zhao family really heard this and walked away, jokingly, against Lord Qin, none of them have a good end at present!
Only a fool would be in the same boat as they are!
