Chapter 574: Greedy
The Shipping Department is the most profitable department of the entire Bay Bay.
In September, there were more than 80,000 silver. In October, it must have more than 200,000. His expectations for the Bohai Bay, the lowest one year of 3 million silver taxes a year.
In addition, next to the Shipping Department is the Yanzheng Department, which is the second -money department of Bohai Bay.
For more than three months, Qin Mo took out 2,400 stones of sea salt. What is the concept?
Last year, the entire big dry, produced 14,000 stone salt, and Qin Mo's three months of 3,400 stones. If you continue to expand the salt site, 20,000 stones a year will not be a problem.
In this way, you can get the salt price, and the extra salt can be exported to increase the income.
Like Nanfan, Shi Dan, Ji Yan, and even the island country (although it is surrounded by the sea, it is not suitable for salt, not to mention in ancient times) is missing salt. food.
Of course, in Digan, salt and iron are all specialty, smuggling salt, that is criminal!
Qin Mo came to the salt factory after the return of the shipping department.
"Big Director!" Four treasures quickly greeted.
"Can't you adapt here?"
"Okay, just patrol every day to prevent them from taking the sea salt away." Sibao laughed.
Qin Mo patted his shoulder and entered the salt water factory. I have to say that the emergence of salt solves the problem of lack of salt. Even if the number of people in the future is ten times, the Bohai Bay can be carried here.
Qin Mo looked at it for a while, and was still reclaiming the new salt water factory over there.
At this moment, the captain of the guardian sun exposure factory ran over, "I have seen a big supervisor."
The captain is Chen Qi Niu, the old man of the Thunder, Qin Mo promoted it.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a need for a humble job!"
"explain!"
"Recently, many people have spy on the salt field. Last night, a group of villagers came together. If we were not vigilant, I was afraid they would be rushed in."
"What villagers, that's all the dogs of the family!" Qin Mo Cold said.
What villagers are so brave and dare to approach this piece, let alone a group.
"Five hundred -meter -out walls at the salt water factory, who approached without authorization, warned, warned three times, kill on the spot!"
"Yes, the big manager!" Chen Qi Niu said: "Also, there is one thing, I don't know if I am not talking about it!"
"explain!"
Chen Qiu said: "Three days ago, General Zhang came over in person and took away a batch of sea salt, with one hundred and fifty stones!"
Qin Mo's face changed and said, "Why do you say now!"
Chen Qi Niu said: "At first, he said that he was sent to the pier, but our people followed. It was indeed a dock and a boat, but he went to the shore at 50 miles!"
"Evidence?"
Qin Modao: "Isn't a batch of salt be registered for every batch of salt, and then send it to the warehouse?"
"There is no evidence, but it is indeed seen by our people. I dare not talk nonsense, and I am afraid of guessing wrong!"
Chen Qi Niu said with a bitter face: "I don't know, I checked the account, it is indeed a lot!"
Qin Mo narrowed his eyes and immediately understood. It seems that there is a ghost in the salt water factory!
"Then why did you say again now?"
"General Zhang sent someone in the morning and said that he would send someone to send salt in the afternoon!"
"Okay, I know!" Qin Mo nodded, "In the future, in addition to those who work in the salt factory, there are me, and the rest are not allowed to enter the inside.
"Yes, I understand!" Chen Qiniu knew that if he didn't tell Qin Mo, Qin Mo would find out one day, and then he would be finished.
Qin Mo did not leave the salt drying factory and told Chen Qiniu not to stop those people from delivering salt.
After explaining, we drank tea in the newly built bungalow next to it.
Fang Xuan frowned, "He first took the waterway and then went ashore. Wouldn't that mean he was enriching himself?"
"yes!"
Qin Mo nodded, "It seems that I underestimated Lao Zhang, and also underestimated the people behind him!"
Think about it, two thousand stones of fine sea salt in three months is much better than the coarse salt from the salt well.
The coarse salt that ordinary people eat is bitter and contains many impurities.
Salt is not cheap either. People in poor areas can only use vinegar cloth. In addition to the small output of salt, it is also related to the high price of salt.
A dou of salt in Da Gan is equivalent to one hundred Da Gan Tongbao, ten dou is equivalent to one stone, and one stone of salt is equivalent to one tael of silver.
More than a hundred stone salt may not seem like much, but the price of this fine fine salt is at least three to five times that of coarse salt. If it is smuggled out of the country, the price will be twenty times as much, or even higher.
"These people are so greedy!" Fang Chun held the hilt of his sword in his hand, "It is because of these corrupt officials that hundreds of people will live in poverty."
"That's not the case. In fact, private salt is not only more expensive than official salt, but also of higher quality. If you eat too much salt with many impurities, you will get sick." Qin Mo said: "That's why I opened a salt drying factory here. I just want all the people to eat sea salt with low price and high quality!
If the price of official salt is lower than that of private salt and the quality is good, do you think there will still be a market for private salt?"
Fang Chun said: "People are not stupid!"
Qin Mo smiled and looked outside, "Here he comes!"
Fang Shun turned around and saw a group of people coming from outside, and even the escort vehicle was ready.
The two of them watched as they carried the salt away.
Qin Mo didn't waste any time and said directly to Chen Qiniu: "Seal down the salt drying factory. No one who came in today is allowed to leave. Take the roster and roll your name. If there is one missing, I'll take it from you!"
"Yes, Chief Steward!"
Qin Mo left with a cold face, and immediately asked the people from the Six Gates to follow that group of people, and then transferred 300 people from the Thunder Army in the name of training.
These people were quite smart. They boarded the official ship directly and didn't send them off immediately.
I waited until it was almost dark before leaving.
In the middle of the night, the ship stopped forty miles away from the pier at the mouth of the sea.
It's not a dock there, and there's not even a road there. There are quite a few people on the shore, and they're deftly taking small boats to pull goods there.
One hundred stones of sea salt is only a matter of two or three trips.
"There are one hundred and twenty rock salts here. Tell him, he has taken too much in the past few days. If there is more, something will happen. Wait for a while!" said the man at the head of the boat.
"No, there is a lot of demand over there, and we must collect a thousand rock salt within this month!" The man on the boat said helplessly: "Please be considerate, I am also ordered to tell you!"
The man cursed angrily: "Do you know how much a thousand stones is? If this continues, I will be killed by you sooner or later. If it is exposed, we will all die!"
The man on the boat said: "Hey, I brought the message. I'm going back first. Pay attention to safety!"
