Xu Ping was sitting and Wang Gongchen having tea, discussing the expected harvest of the land that was reclaimed for this year's land camp, Liu Huan hurriedly came over and said to Xu Ping: "Master, the leader of the Ding clan just came to find the mansion and said that he saw us selling fine salt at Sansi Shop, and the price was very low. At such a price, no one bought the salt from the salt pond in their clan."

"Why, can he still ask Qinzhou to help him defend himself against the people?" Xu Ping signaled Liu Huan to sit down. "Since this dynasty has banned all the courts along the border, Yuan Hao's most important source of wealth was to sell blue and white salt to this dynasty. Selling fine salt along the border was to cut off Dangxiang's income. Other routes have already begun, and our Qinzhou is the latest."

Liu Huan said: "The truth is this, but how can the foreigners pay so much attention to it? They only know that from now on, they will buy salt from the court, and their own salt cannot be sold. Without this source of wealth, their clan will inevitably be resentful and may cause chaos."

Xu Ping nodded: "That's true. For the surrounding foreign tribes, as long as they do not attach to the Party, we should focus on comforting and comforting. Let's think of a way together to see if we can have the best of both worlds. Let's talk about it first, low-priced fine salt cannot be stopped!"

Liu Huan was the judge of the General Secretary and the Qinlong Road to recruit An Fanluo envoy. The original intention of the court was that he was the only one who had been to Qingtang and gave him this official position to win over the sages, so the official position was led by Qinlong Road, which did not exist, rather than Qinfeng Road. However, Xu Ping's policy on Qinfeng Road was no longer to control the barbarians, but to focus on me, turning barbarians into Xia, and the matter he was in charge of changed. The things under Qinzhou were now in charge of the things that were combined into villages and setting up villages and forts.

Wang Gongchen said: "In fact, in terms of officials, this dynasty did not allow the places under the imperial court to use private salt to use private salt. In the past, it was just to pacify the Fan tribe, and he turned a blind eye to ignore them. After transporting here, the salt removal tasted light and there was a lot of mud and sand, so the people liked the green and white salt of the Fan tribe. Now, the imperial court has eliminated these shortcomings, and there are the best fine white salt. Who would still eat private salt of the Fan tribe? Since it was originally not allowed, why bother with the Fan tribe? "

"That's true, but if the Fan tribe lacks the income from Yanchi, they will inevitably feel resentful to the court. The Fan Qiang loves money, and if we ignore it, there may be chaos. The court gives them a way out. If they don't follow, we will rebel and pacify us, which is famous for our army. Otherwise, we will not do anything effectively. If we do not teach, we will be punished by abuse. This dynasty governs the world with benevolence and righteousness, and we cannot do that."

Xu Ping said, while thinking about it. He knew the big strategy in his mind, but when it comes to the Shangding clan, he still had to carefully consider how to arrange it in detail. Benevolence and righteousness are just a big slogan, and he sets this principle. If you think so seriously in everything, it would be a circumspect. Xu Ping has not reached that level yet. After all, the affairs of the Fan tribe must be equally valued. But how to do it can be to show kindness to them and give them enough deterrence, so you must carefully grasp it.

The border areas like to buy blue and white salt, not because the quality of salt removal is poor, but it is not good after transporting it here. In the past, public officials and soldiers were asked to transport salt, because there was loss on the road, and they secretly deducted it. In order to make up enough quantity, they mixed mud and sand inside. The further away from Jiezhou, the more mud and sand were mixed in the salt. When they arrived in Qinzhou, it became salty mud and sand. Xu Ping changed to mail the salt to transport salt, and used wooden boxes to seal it, cutting off the salt stealing. During the transportation process, reasonable losses were set and no longer passed on the reasonable losses to the Xiangjun who transported salt, and the quality of salt was raised. Now the fine salt sold by Sansi Shop is good and cheap, and no matter how it is done, it is impossible to obtain the previous benefits. Moreover, their salt making technology was relatively backward, and the Song Dynasty did not use salt to collect the capita tax, so they naturally could not compare.

This is an economic war against Dangxiang, and those who are affected can only admit that they are unlucky.

Liu Huan understood what Xu Ping meant and tried to ask: "Or what if the salt from Fanluo is bought by Qinzhou, how about setting a certain amount?"

"Okay, we collected their salt and then made it into fine salt for sale, the same is true." Xu Ping nodded, "But the government could not pay the price of salt they sold before. Either they would offer the salt pond and put it in Qinzhou to place the salt prison there, and take some money out every year to give it to them, or pay it to buy it in one lump sum."

Liu Huan also felt that this was the only feasible method and asked: "If the government bribed it, how much is the amount per year? How much is a pound of one pound? After collecting their salt, there will be fewer people who can remove the salt and transport it here. I wonder if the three officials are willing to do so."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Why would Sansi not want to? Do you think that ten cents of fine salt can be earned now? The price of the salt sold here is nearly a thousand miles away. Even if the shipping price of the salt is good, maybe Sansi will have to pay for it. As for the annual amount, you can calculate the number of households in Qinfeng Road and several states, and it is not a must to collect their salt. However, the amount cannot be set too high to prevent the foreigners from greed for money and mixing the green and white salt of Dangxiang into it and selling it to us. The best way is to offer the salt pond and establish a salt supervision in the imperial court. As compensation, you can pay them in one lump sum."

Wang Gongchen said: "This is possible. The Qian Qiang loves money. As long as they give it real money and silver, they may not be unwilling to do so."

Liu Huan said: "Okay, that's it! Several ways are put into place and let them choose by themselves! By the way, their leader is still waiting for me now, so it's better to set a price and let them go back and make a total of it."

"The price is not easy to be determined randomly. The government will buy it uniformly and determine the price to death. In the future, there will inevitably be mud and sand added to the salt transported. This is the case. If they are willing, the Sansi Shop will come forward to see how much fine salt can be made per pound. Use this as a standard, divide it into several levels, and set the price. The general principle is that the Sansi Shop will not make any profit or lose money, but will only help them make fine salt and sell it. This is clear to them that the major policies of the court will not change, and they must learn to adapt."

After Xu Ping finished speaking, Wang Gongchen said: "In the past, the green and white salt sold around the country was sold at fifteen cents per pound. When these tyrants were sold to salt traders, they were only seven or eight cents. How high could they be? The Sansi Shop remade fine salt, plus the people who sold the tyrants, it was probably almost the same as five or six cents. After all, it was not much worse than before. However, the tyrants were bought by the court without any risk, and it was no longer illegal or prohibited. As long as they had normal minds, they should not refuse!"

Xu Ping shook his head: "June, if you just take care of these scattered people, you can do whatever you want. But don't forget that we set such a salt price to ban Dangxiang's green and white salt. Even if the scattered people with salt ponds agree, how can they be willing to sell Dangxiang's salt? What I am worried about now is not these scattered people causing trouble, but Dangxiang, and the tribes that used to make profits from scattered green and white salt. The salt will not grow. How did the scattered people sell that much green and white salt to this dynasty every year? Many of the tribes near Huizhou are involved in trafficking in private salt, and they are the most likely to cause trouble."

Liu Huan hurriedly said: "The strategy said very well. Most of the northern part of the Wei River are full of livestock, so they are uneasy. This time they cut off their financial resources for trafficking in private salt. I am afraid that something will happen!"
