I Don’t Want To Fight Anymore After Wearing An Outer Room

  Chapter 382 Affordable Salt

  Although salt is expensive, people have to eat salt. If they don’t eat salt, they will lose all strength, so how can they work? Therefore, the big salt merchants in the Daqing Dynasty were all rich, and some people took risks to sell illegal salt, but if the illegal salt dealers were caught, they would be beheaded.

  If you want to sell salt openly, you must get permission from the government and have a salt guide in hand.

  The share of Yanyin in Shanyun County has always been divided by Zhang Yan, Ma Song and the four families. When the salt was first released, Wen Jiuxiao said in advance that this year's Yanyin would not be released.

   This hit the four families by surprise. Salt is so expensive, half of the family's annual income is from selling salt. They will not be so honest, official salt is mixed with private salt, making more money!

   Now that the government doesn’t release salt to the outside, it can’t sell salt. What does the county magistrate mean? Is it just that the salt will not be released this year, or will there be no salt in the future? Is it the county magistrate who wants to do the salt business?

  These four families speculated privately that the Zhang family was fine, since they were determined to get on the county magistrate's boat, and even the road was repaired, they could only go to the dark one way. Salt, if you can’t sell it, don’t sell it. No matter how painful it is, the members of the family are suppressed. Don’t shout or make trouble.

  The Song family is also fine. Song Yi'an entered the county government, so naturally he can't tear down the county magistrate. One more thing, the Song family still has a scholar who doesn't know how expensive Chai Migui is. Song Lixian has long been displeased with the business at home, polluting the fragrance of books. Except for Patriarch Song who sighed and sighed for several days, the Song family didn't see any splashes.

  Yan’s family and Ma’s family blew up, “Don’t put salt in it? This is trying to force us to death!”

"Isn't it? I figured it out. This guy really has the means to cut the meat with a soft knife. First the quarry, and then the population census. Now even the salt is not allowed to be sold. I don't know what moths will come out tomorrow." Well, there is no way for people to survive this one.”

   "Brother, what do you mean by him?"

"What do you mean? Let's make money! I said why I was so kind to send rice and meat to Mudzuzi before, and I didn't feel bad at all when I scattered the carts and carts. The co-author had planned it? Now the fox's tail is exposed? The abacus is really good."

   "You mean that the surname Wen has salt in his hand? No way, he has only been here for a few days, and he has figured out the truth here?"

   "It's hard to tell. Brother, what do you think? If the salt is also left out, the family will not be able to uncover the pot." It is not true that the pot cannot be uncovered, but it is true that the money has shrunk.

"Who says it's not? Brother, you only have two sons, and you can still live if you are tight. I have five sons. I have so many mouths to eat. Without the income of salt, I really have to beg for food. Brother, I'm really not reconciled, or the four of us..."

"Don't think about it, brother, haven't you seen it yet? How can there be four other families? The Zhang family, the Song family, have already become the pugs of the county magistrate. Especially the Zhang family, look at the strength of the one who is going up, If the surname Wen said that the **** is fragrant, he can go up and take a couple of bites." That is a look of contempt!

   "Huh, I still don't believe that the surname Wen really has salt in his hand. What's wrong if there is no salt? I have salt, but am I worried that no one will buy it?" Just sell it in private, and it's not like I haven't done this before.

   "That's true."

   The two of them looked at each other, and they both understood what the other meant. They wanted to go together. You have policies, and I have countermeasures, and there are many loopholes that can be exploited.

  But soon the Yan family and the Ma family realized something was wrong. They had salt in their hands, but no one really bought it.

  Because the county government posted a notice again, the notice said that the people in Fanshanyun County will be able to buy salt at a reasonable price in the future, and the price of salt has dropped by half compared to before. what does that mean? It means that the common people in Shanyun County can afford salt.

  Of course, in order to prevent people from reselling salt in large quantities at low prices, the county government has also issued a series of policies. For example, "salt books" are distributed to every household. To buy salt, use the "salt book". For the number of people in your family, how much is the amount per month? As for your saying that you want to pickle fish and vegetables with salt, it’s fine, but it will be recorded in the “Salt Book”, and your family can’t pickle vegetables every now and then, right?

  The idea of ​​this "salt book" naturally came from Yu Zhi, and it's not her idea, it was borrowed from her, the "grain and oil book".

  It is not practical for all the people to go to the city to buy salt, so we set up sales agencies in towns and large villages with large populations to ensure that people can buy salt conveniently.

  As soon as the news came out, the common people were overjoyed. Especially in the neighboring villages of the two counties, they can buy salt at a reasonable price, while the next door village has to eat high-priced salt. As people from Shanyun County, they are proud! See, it's all because our parents are good officials!

  There is another item on the notice, which is aimed at the mountain people. Those mountain people who are willing to live down the mountain enjoy the same treatment as the people down the mountain, which means that they can also buy salt at a low price.

   As for whether it can attract mountain people down the mountain, it will definitely not be effective for a while. Wen Jiuxiao is not in a hurry, he hasn't sorted out the people at the bottom of the mountain yet, so the mountain people will just wait and see.

  The official salt sold by the government is white in color, has no peculiar smell, and the price is cheap. The common people are not stupid, so how could they still buy private salt from the Yan family and the Ma family? Didn't you hear the message from the messenger who went to the countryside? In Shanyun County, only salt sold by the government is authentic, and the rest are private salt and cannot be bought.

  The Zhang family and the Song family were very fortunate to watch the jokes of the Yan family and the Ma family in secret, hmph, and wanted to secretly sell salt to fight the county magistrate, can't the salt be sold? Are you dumbfounded? Stupid!

   While selling salt at a low price, Wen Jiuxiao also secretly asked people to sell salt outside. A horse is not fat without night grass, and a man is not rich without windfall. What makes the most money? Of course it was smuggled.

  Wen Jiuxiao is not such a law-abiding person, otherwise he would not shoot an arrow at Princess Anle. He has his own set of principles in mind, as long as the result is good, so what if the method and process are not fair? What's more, he sells salt for the development of Shanyun County, not for his own pocket.

  Salt can really make money, cartloads of salt are taken away, and cartloads of silver are brought back. At this time, Yu Zhi is the happiest. She likes counting silver the most, opening the boxes and looking at each box. This color, this luster, tsk tsk, is the most beautiful scenery.

  This is not the only thing that makes Yu Zhi happy. Didn’t she bring nearly a hundred bandits from Shachi County? Another dozen or so were picked from the prison, and they made up a hundred, and they were all driven to open up wasteland.

Looking at the condition of the wasteland, one person can cultivate half an acre a day if it is difficult to cultivate, and one acre can be cultivated by one person a day if there are not many weeds. After a full month of dry work, thousands of acres of land will come out. Fertile land. If all the wasteland in Shanyun County is reclaimed, do you still have to worry about taxes?

  The reason why these bandits dare not be demons is purely because of sticks and carrots. The stick is self-evident, the carrot varies from person to person. Yu Zhi doesn't treat them harshly in terms of food, such heavy physical labor can't be done without enough food.

  Women who were robbed up the mountain also gave birth to the bandits, some were forced, but some lived a good life afterwards. Like the latter, Yu Zhi said, if they behaved well, rehabilitated, and redeemed their sins, they were allowed to become the people under the rule of the county, and they could reunite with their wives and children and live a good life.

   Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, no human life is on his back.

   Today’s chapter, tomorrow the child will start school! Ahhh!
