Liang Chuan actually came to the most expensive shop on Guangyuan Street to ask questions.

A Yue didn't expect Liang Chuan to come and ask about the price of salt. Anyone in Guangnan doesn't know how expensive salt is? Although she is young, she becomes the leader early. Whenever Anon is not at home, she has to support herself, buy rice, meat, salt and vegetables, and can she not know how expensive salt is?

Afraid of being a stupid person?

Isn’t their Miao family the same expensive salt?

Looking at Liang Chuan's appearance, he asked in a real way, not like a joke. The shopkeeper also has a good temper. Private salt dealers are not ordinary people. They are either local snakes or big merchants. They have no ability since ancient times and cannot be a qualified private salt dealer!

In the late Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao was not awesome, but he was just a private salt dealer.

He almost destroyed the entire Tang Empire with his own strength! Later, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were also from this industry, with top scorers, and many top scorers in the private salt industry!

The important thing that Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, could win the world was that he had Guanzhong, had fields, Zigong, and Jingyan. This was the economic support that ensured his military group's continuous actions!

An important means of the Song Dynasty's management of the southern Manyue was to control various important materials.

These materials such as medicinal materials, tea, salt and various minerals. Although many of them are produced in the south, as long as one or two of them are kept in their lifelines, these ethnic minorities in the south will complain!

The best and most effective thing is to pipe salt.

Guan Zhong was the first to make Qi dominate. His methods were simple and crude, which was to cook the sea for salt. With salt and iron, Qi would be strong! However, Qi did not have the foundation of a big country. After Qin also discovered salt in Guanzhong, they would have no advantage and could only become a strong country, but could not become the strongest country.:

There are only a few ways to produce salt. The largest and most high-yield salt farms are the seaside salt fields, which are not available to these inland nations!

Today, salt is produced in several places.

One is in Shuzhong and Yunnan and Guizhou. There are well salt here, and ham near the well salt, which are all top-notch and good ingredients.

There is sea salt in Jianghuai, which is the lifeblood of the world.

There is also a salt lake above Dangxiang and Tubo, which is God's gift to them, otherwise they would have absolutely no conditions to challenge the Song Dynasty. The green salt in the hands of the Dangxiang people is also very precious. Legend has it that the Tubo people also have a kind of powder salt in their hands, but it has not appeared on the market for many years.

It is not easy to be able to sell salt in Guangnan!

The court established salt tickets.

It’s not that everyone needs to buy salt, just like using grain coupons to buy grain, and implement the rationing system. Instead, the court issues salt tickets to people selling salt, so that only if they have tickets, they can sell salt! Moreover, if the people want to buy salt, they have to go to these formal places with procedures to buy, otherwise they will be regarded as smuggling and private salt, and the same crime of buying and selling.

At the least, cut the foot, and at the worst, drop the head.

The system of managing salt is much more severe than managing people!

A country has many means to manage the people. Now, such as childbirth, and in the early stages, there was a population plan. A small village committee had the power to kill a family! Later, there were various reviews, including education, medical insurance, social security, land and building houses. Any one can be accurately grasped, and the people must listen to the court obediently.

But before that, this was not the case.

The necessary conditions for ordinary people to survive are four: food, clothing, housing and transportation.

There must be salt in your food!

The common people have no place to get except salt and iron, and they can basically be self-sufficient.

In other words, if these two things are not controlled, the people will not be able to spend half the money on the court!

Guangnan is more special than other places.

When Zhao Zhen, the official dynasty of today, the court had the most severe ration of salt in the two places!

One is the Western Xia. The Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought for years, so it is impossible to sell these strategic materials to them, but the Western Xia people have their own salt.

There is a lot of salt in the salt paste in the Qaidam Basin in the northwest. These salts do not even need to be purified, and they are a top-notch product!

Another place is Guangnan.

The reason why Guangnan is poor is that the people’s money is not used to buy rice. The rice is not expensive, but the expensive one is salt! Moreover, the imperial court refused to issue them more salt invoices, and if so, it was in several important places such as Yongzhou. You can’t go to Yongzhou again to eat salt.

Liang Chuan never looked rich from beginning to end, especially when he was limping on one leg, anyone who did business was afraid that this person was here to beg for food!

Boss Salt smiled at Liang Chuan, selling the face of the little girl Ayue behind him, and he also knew that the little girl was from the Tusi’s mansion!

Otherwise, he wouldn't even bother to treat Miao people with his nostrils.

The Miao people belong to the vulnerable groups and marginal figures among ethnic minorities in the southwest. For thousands of years, they have had extremely little voice and their status is also very low.

He didn't know why the Miao people came to Guangyuan, and he was too lazy to know, but if he had to hold on to the head of the Tusi Mansion!

"Boss, how do you say this salt sells?"

How to sell salt? The boss was stunned. Could you come to enjoy me? The price of salt is very "transparent". Even the little girl A Yue also knows that you don't have to buy salt in normal times, and you don't know the price!

Boss Salt looked at Liang Chuan a few times. The kid was covered in muscles, with many scars exposed on his body, and one of his legs was broken. It was obvious that he was a tough guy who fought and killed. This person's height was also terrifying. Maybe there was no second person stronger than him in Guangyuanzhou. If such a body fights, there may be few people who are his opponents, even if he breaks one leg!

Liang Chuan's very unreasonable inquiry, coupled with his wicked smile, the boss seemed to suddenly understand something, OK, it turned out that he was not confused, but because he was confused, he wanted to make a fortune!

He thought Liang Chuan wanted to blackmail, but it depends on whether the boss was on the road. If the price quoted was high, the matter would come. If the price quoted was low, then he would suffer a loss!

After all, he can't afford to offend the Tusi Mansion!

However, the boss of this dealer is an old world after all. He sells private salt. He lives a life of licking blood from a knife. He doesn't know when his head will be lost. Moreover, he knows that his relationship with the Tusi Mansion is not bad. Logically speaking, the Tusi Mansion will not come to make things difficult for him!

He also smiled and pretended to be confused, and said to Liang Chuan: "This person is really good at joking. The salt we sell here is clearly marked. We have never deceived for decades, so why do you ask about the price?"

At this time, A Yue interrupted and said, "This man broke his head. I told him that salt is more expensive than meat and he didn't believe it. He insisted on asking me to bring him to see it, hum!"

Ha, and these idiots?

Boss Salt was happy when he saw it. He was relieved if he was not here to ruin his business!

When he saw that Liang Chuan was like this, he felt a little like he was falling, so he patiently explained to Liang Chuan.

"Brother, let's see which kind of salt is expensive?"

Liang Chuan glanced at it and said, "Of course this is the case!"

He refers to the green salt of Xixia.

The salt looks evenly granules, and the salt color is the most beautiful, so the price will definitely not be low.

The salt boss gave Liang Chuan a thumbs up and said, "That's right, I really have the eyesight. This is the green salt imported from Xixia. I only have twenty kilograms of kilograms, three hundred cents a kilogram!"

Three hundred texts!

The price of rice is only a few dollars per pound, but this hanging thing costs 300 cents per pound!

Liangchuan, Qingyan, has heard that Jia Baoyu, a prodigal boy, used this green salt to brush his teeth in Dream of Red Mansions. This salt is extracted from the salt lake in Qinghai. It contains many trace elements and can also be used as a medicine to kill bacteria and reduce swelling, and hemorrhage can be cured, so the price will naturally be high!

Why did Xixia dare to fight against the Song Dynasty? They were not impulsive, but they also had their own reliance!

The Jiangnan in the subway guarantees their food, the Hetao Plain guarantees their horses, and the salt lake guarantees their salt. Apart from tea, they already have the ability to be self-sufficient, so what else can they be afraid of!

The rich people of the Song Dynasty needed this salt. They secretly smuggled this salt from Xixia to brush their teeth and eat it. It was precisely because of the people of the Song Dynasty that the prices were raised!

This salt is in western summer

The cost of smuggling is only five cents, and it only increases ten times when smuggling it to the Song Dynasty! But when it comes to Guangnan, the price goes to the sky! Not many people in Guangnan can afford it, so the number of smuggling by these salt bosses will not be large!

"What about these salts!"

"This is Jing Yan, from Shuzhong, and the price is 100 cents per kilogram!"

Liang Chuan was shocked, why is the price difference so much?

The salt boss looked at A Yue's little face and patiently introduced each type of salt to this fool, explaining their efficacy and what is more expensive!

Anyway, I am idle and I don’t waste any money on him!

Liang Chuan looked incredible when he heard this. The price of salt can be so high!

What kind of shit is that green salt costs 300 cents per pound, well salt is 100 cents a person, and sea salt on the beach, which costs dozens of cents a lot. Who can afford this?

But the boss said that everyone eats sea salt transported from Qinzhou. There is no way, the quality of the salt is not good, it has a strong astringent taste, but the price is already the lowest, and it costs more than 60 cents per pound. A pound of salt is enough for a family to eat for several months. After calculation, life can still be lived!

It turns out that salt is more expensive than meat, so everyone has no objection?

It seems that there are more people in this world!

Liang Chuan finally stared at a pile of black salt and said to the salt boss: "Then what price is this salt?"

The salt boss smiled and said, "Oh, these are for animals. Horses and donkeys also need to eat salt. They come in from Xixia. This salt is cheap!"

"How cheap!"

"A pound costs five cents!"

When Liang Chuan saw that it was not salt, it was clearly earthy powder, and it was not so dark that it was just a beast. It was just a beast to eat this thing, but it even sold five cents per catty. It was so damn bad!
Chapter completed!
