Wang Hao sighed, "There are rumors that Jianghuai's private salt is controlled by Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun's army is selling private salt to raise military expenses. It is said that the emperor acquiesced."
"So Zhang Jun's private salt not only occupied Jianghuai, but also Jinghu North Road, and then extended its tentacles to Jinghu South Road?"
Wang Hao nodded, "Exactly, several states along the river sell their salt. Although the territory is not large, the population is dense, so they suddenly occupied 40% of the salt share. In the end, the official salt was only one
The elements that became successful were also because the Sichuan Road was strictly inspected and they could not get in, otherwise the Sichuan Road would also have fallen."
Only now does Chen Qing know why the financial gap is so big? The Jinghu South Road salt tax plan originally planned to make up for the gap cannot be implemented at all. Zhang Jun, the bastard, has overstepped his bounds.
"What's their salt price?" Chen Qing asked again.
"Reporting to Your Highness, it's about fifty cents per catty."
It’s only fifty cents per catty. Of course, it’s hard to sell the salt that costs seventy cents. I’m planning to raise the price to one hundred cents!
Chen Qing immediately said: "Start from Jinghu South Road, first attack the salt lord Zhang Tai, and then Jianghuai Salt!"
"Your Highness, I want Zhong Huan to take charge of this humble position, is that okay?"
"Do you think he is good?" Chen Qingxiao asked.
Wang Hao nodded, and Chen Qing immediately smiled and said: "You decide for yourself. I will allocate a thousand elite scouts and thirty thousand-stone warships to you. You can send the remaining men yourself. You must regain the salt share of Jinghu South Road before the end of the year.
!”
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Wang Hao bowed and left in a hurry.
There are so many things! Chen Qing pinched his temples and stretched out his hand to pull the bell rope.
After a moment, an attendant on duty appeared at the door, "Please give me your orders, Your Highness!"
"Go to the military headquarters and find Lu Wei for me!"
Soon, Lu Wei hurried over. He had been here once in the morning, but King Yong had gone out and was not in the official room. He had to wait until tomorrow. Unexpectedly, King Yong took the initiative to look for him.
"Your Majesty, please see me for your humble position!"
Chen Qing nodded, "Wang Hao just talked about you. Does the other party want Iron Fire Thunder again?"
"Exactly! This time they offered 30,000 yuan and wanted to buy another Iron Fire Thunder."
"How do you answer him?"
"The humble position naturally refused. I said that the number of iron fire mines is very rare now. Due to the lack of gunpowder, small iron fire mines have been discontinued for a year. Moreover, all armies are not allowed to equip iron fire mines. If you want to use iron fire mines, you must
King Yong approved it and it was implemented by a special firearms camp."
"How did they respond?" Chen Qing asked again.
"They were very frustrated at first and stopped mentioning it. But the day before yesterday they found me again and asked me to help them get one. The price is negotiable."
"I said I would inquire again and let them know if there is any news."
"Did they ask Wan Yanchang for instructions?"
"Probably, after seven or eight days, Wan Yanchang will probably reprimand them."
Chen Qing paced back and forth in the official room with his hands behind his hands, lowering his head and thinking silently. The key was that he didn't know how far the Jin State's Iron Fire Thunder test had gone. Sometimes there were too many fake tests, and the other party would also find out the clues. He had to take some measures.
Extraordinary means to block the opponent's firearms test.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing said to Lu Wei: "Ask them to give you a month, and you can slowly think of a way. This time, the price will be 100,000 yuan."
Chen Qing returned to his house. He went to his long-awaited study and sat back comfortably on a chair. His wife Lu Xiu came in with a cup of tea.
"My husband must be very busy today!"
Chen Qing picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "I have been busy all day today and had a quarrel with several counselors over the land price and rent. Now that I think about it, I regret it. I shouldn't have said those harsh words. It seems very rude."
"They won't blame you. My husband just came back and found many problems, so he will definitely become anxious. In fact, I also know that the rent has increased very much."
"How do you know, Madam?" Chen Qing asked with a curious smile.
"Read the newspaper!"
Lu Xiu picked up the newspaper on the table and handed it to her husband, "There is an advertisement inside. Husband will know after you read it."
Chen Qing found the advertising paper from the newspaper. This method was taught to the "Beijing News" by himself. He saw that it was densely packed with advertisements for tofu blocks, which were divided into three categories: catering, farm and house, and other categories. The most were catering advertisements, occupying the largest area.
Half, followed by advertisements for properties, houses and shops for sale and rent, and land for sale. In other categories, there are also various advertisements, notices, statements, etc., and even a divorce announcement.
A piece of advertising paper is a whole world.
Chen Qing's eyes fell on the advertisement for the farmhouse, "A popular shop for rent, next to the old locust tree on Xiuren Road, Xiuren Square, just ask and you will know."
Chen Qing suddenly thought that he should give each house a house number, otherwise it would be difficult to find it.
"Two acres of compound for sale, 2500 yuan, Liu's residence, Zhaozhuangyuan Lane, Renshoufang."
Chen Qing was very interested in this advertisement. The location of Renshoufang is good. It is close to Dawazi in Xicheng City. It is considered an above-average location. It only costs 2,500 yuan. If you negotiate for 2,230 yuan, you can get it.
The price is just over one thousand guan, so it seems that the land price is not expensive!
Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Husband, do you think this two-acre courtyard in Zhao Zhuangyuan Lane is not expensive?"
"Yes! Renshoufang is a very good location. It only costs a little over one thousand guan per acre, which is not expensive! Is there any reason?"
Lu Xiu shook his head and said: "This courtyard has been advertised several times. It was originally priced at 8,000 guan, then it was reduced to 5,000 guan, and now it is discounted in half. My master also thought it was very cheap, so he went to see it, but she came back and said,
It was a haunted house. Three consecutive owners died in the house. The first one was killed by a burglar in the bedroom, the second one slipped and fell into a well and drowned. The third one was deceived and hanged himself. The yard is the third owner.
My son is selling it.”
"No wonder it's so cheap. What's the normal price at Renshoufang?"
Lu Xiuqing cleared her throat and said with a smile: "The price of a house in Renshoufang depends on the area and the newness of the house. For example, it is considered to be 70% new! The price per acre of less than one acre is about 2,000 yuan, and the area of two and a half houses with a small courtyard is
The three-cent land type is the cheapest and can be purchased for three to four hundred guan.
Once you reach a fifth of land and can build six houses, it will cost 1,000 guan. For one acre or more, including three acres, the price per acre is 5,000 guan. For more than three acres, the price per acre is 8,000 guan. That is a house. Houses are the most expensive.
It is rare to buy a house with more than five acres in Jingzhao."
"ah!"
Chen Qing exclaimed: "I didn't expect that my wife is also an expert in houses!"
"That is!"
Lu Xiu said proudly: "We study every day. It's difficult to become an expert. It's not just me, but also your women. The real expert is my master. She has bought five houses, and there is another house in Xinnancheng.
There is a three-acre piece of prosperous land. She said that houses in slums cannot be bought and there is no profit. If she buys a three-acre small house next to the official road outside the city, it will double next year. She has three small houses outside the east city, one of which is
Five acres of house.”
Chen Qing was a little speechless, Li Qingzhao actually became a real estate speculator.
After a long while, Chen Qing said: "Where did your master get so much money?"
"We made money from selling houses! After we came to Jingzhao, we opened two Yi'an teahouses. Master and I each owned half of the teahouses. Later, I gave her all the teahouses on Dongda Street. I sold her teahouse last year and owned three acres of land.
After selling 30,000 guan, she used the 30,000 guan as capital and invested all of it in real estate."
Chen Qing nodded and smiled: "If I guessed correctly, the three acres of shop land in New South City was sold to her by my wife, right?"
Lu Xiu sighed and said: "I originally offered to give it to her, but she refused and then sold it at a price of 3,000 guan per mu. The market price at that time was 5,000 guan, which was slightly cheaper, but now it has risen to 10,000 guan per mu!
"
Lu Xiu was afraid that her husband would be angry, so she quickly said: "My master has no children. She said that after a hundred years, all her property will be divided into two. Half will be left to me and Qiaoyun, and the other half will be given to the maid who has been with her for many years."
Chen Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, there is no need to explain. Of course I will not be angry with your master. I just think that all her energy is spent on buying and selling houses. How can she have time to write poems and lyrics?"
"This is also her pleasure! She is afraid of poverty."
That's it. Chen Qing nodded, "Okay! Just go and study real estate. I guess you have invested a lot with Master. You don't need to tell me. I'm too lazy to ask."
Lu Xiu was overjoyed, turned around and left, "I'll tell them, my husband won't interfere with us buying a house!"
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Qing called Lu Xiu and asked, "How much money did you invest in buying a house?"
Lu Xiu pointed out two fingers and smiled, "Two hundred thousand guan!"
