Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Zhao Weimin wore green and the horse wore green, and the two of them entered the back hall one after another!

The official uniform system of Daye consists of eighth and ninth grades of blue, six or seven grades of green, four or five grades of red, and above three grades of purple, with imperial dragon robes and robes; the hierarchy is strict and the size of the position can be distinguished at a glance!

"Join the county magistrate, Master Bo!"

A group of people knelt down and saluted!

Although merchants were rich, they had the lowest status and had to kneel down when they saw the county magistrate.

Guo Cang also knelt on the ground, his mind racing.

Not to mention such high-ranking officials as senior officials, village chiefs, household heads and minor officials, he had all knelt down before!

The young master once said that except parents, saints, heaven and earth, no one is worthy of kneeling.

This morning, the young master called the four of them and asked who would be willing to take the salt notes for him.

He and Erhu stood up at the same time, and the young master gave him this job!

Remember https://m in one second.

"No gift!"

Zhao Weimin sat down on the right side.

The horse owner sat down on his left side.

In Guocang, more than a dozen merchants were standing, including Zhou Changfu from the Zhou family and Hu Mengying from the Hu family!

Zhao Weimin got straight to the point: "The Liu family colluded with bandits to ransack their homes and get 600,000 catties of salt banknotes for next year. Now the bidding starts at five cents per catty. The highest bidder will win. Let's start!"

"Five and a half!"

"Six articles!"

"Six and a half!"

...

"Nine articles!"

More than a dozen merchants made bids one after another.

After Jiu Wen was called, no one dared to add more. They all looked at Zhou Changfu and Hu Mengying!

The two looked at each other, and Zhou Changfu spoke first: "Shiwen!"

Hu Mengying did not answer, but glanced to the side.

Guo Cang was very excited. He, a little thief, actually bid for salt notes with a powerful roommate.

However, the young master said that the people in front of him were all cannon fodder, so he should calm down and finally take action!

The horse owner Bo said, "Is there anyone else bidding? There are no salt notes to go to the Zhou family!"

Seeing that Guo Cang didn't move, Hu Mengying said: "Fourteen articles!"

Wow!

The whole audience was shocked. No one expected that the Hu family would increase the price by four cents at a time.

Simply looking at four coins is a small amount, but a total of 600,000 jins, plus one coin, is 600 taels, and four coins is 2,400 taels, which is by no means a small amount.

Ma Qian's eyes lit up.

The more salt banknotes are sold, the more money the county government has and the more sufficient office funds it has.

Zhao Weimin frowned. If the price of salt money is too high, the people will suffer in the end!

But he couldn't stop it.

Shopkeeper Zhou’s eyes darkened: “Eighteen articles!”

More than a dozen merchants were shocked!

At this price, even if the Zhou family gets the salt banknotes, they will not make any money!

Hu Mengying chuckled: "Uncle Zhou, I will add two more cents. If you want more, I will give it to you!"

"Twenty cents!"

The whole place was in an uproar!

At this price, if you transport salt from Jiushan County, you will lose two cents if you don't make any money.

You will lose at least one thousand taels of silver a year.

Hu Mengying's eyes are clear and she knows clearly about losing money.

But as long as you get the salt banknotes, you will earn them back sooner or later, and your family will have another way out.
