What is the cost price of a pound of salt? It is less than ten cents at most.

Because sun salt is very cheap, there is basically no cost except labor.

One stone salt weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms. According to ten coins per kilogram, one stone salt is about one or two yuan.

Thirty-five thousand shiguan salt, the total cost is 42,000 taels of silver.

However, as a wholesaler and the main seller of private salt, Yangzhou salt merchants naturally want to make huge profits, so they often have to increase their sales by five to eight times.

Even if it's five times that, it's still two hundred and one thousand taels of silver.

But this inspection officer Chen was even more ruthless and raised the price of salt by twenty times, which cost only one or two yuan.

A total of 840,000 taels of silver.

You must know that this batch of private salt originally belonged to Liu Qingyun, but Chen Zhao intercepted it, and he had already lost 42,000 taels.

According to the calculation of the merchant's urine, that is, because he did not sell it, he lost 210,000 taels of silver.

Now I still have to spend 840,000 taels of silver to buy it back.

Even if I sell it myself, I can only sell it out at the price of eight taels or nine taels and one stone.

If the selling price is high, the retailers from all over the country, that is, the local snakes from all over the country, will not pay a penny.

There are so many salt merchants in Yangzhou, why do they only buy from your Liu family?

In other words, as long as he repurchases this batch of salt, no matter how he handles it, he will lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

This is hundreds of thousands, not tens of taels.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyun looked at Chen Zhao with eyes that were like those of a murderous wolf.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.

At this moment, Liu Qingyun wanted to cut Chen Zhao into pieces with a thousand knives.

"What's the matter? The price I offer is so fair and reasonable, the Liu family is not happy?" Chen Zhao snorted lightly, with a half-smile on his face.

"I don't dare." Liu Qingyun was so excited that he didn't dare to speak.

He was not a fool. Since he had seen with his own eyes, Chen Zhao lifted a thousand-jin stone lion with his own hands, and then smashed the door of his Liu family into pieces with a wave of his hand. How could Liu Qingyun dare to refuse such terrifying and terrifying force?

He had already heard last night that this guy named Chen Zhao rushed into the private salt team and killed countless brave people with just a swing. The heads of the private salt dealers who were used to seeing life and death were rolling in.

They were immediately frightened out of their wits.

Faced with such a murderous devil, what else can Liu Qingyun do besides staying humble and being a coward?

Forget it, isn’t it just a loss of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?

He can afford the loss.

As long as he doesn't make the old man in front of him angry and destroy his house into a mess, he will be Amitabha.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyun's waist became even lower: "Mr. Chen's sales price is too reasonable. The little old man just sighs that it is fair and reasonable. However, 840,000 taels of silver is not really a small amount. Let's wait for a few days for the little old man to extend his grace.

, how about raising some funds?"

"Are you kidding?" Chen Zhao's face darkened slightly: "They say that the Yangzhou salt merchants are as rich as the rest of the country. They only have more than 800,000 silver, which is just a drop in the bucket for you! Besides, I'll give you a few days of grace, and the people in the north and south of the Yangtze River

If we just delay eating salt for a few days, what will happen to the people if anything happens to them?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Chen said that the little old man should raise money immediately." Liu Qingyun didn't dare to do it even if he was not strong enough.

"Well, I'll be waiting at the Yamen."

After saying that, Chen Zhao waved his hand, jumped on the horse, and rode away.

Looking at his retreating back, Liu Qingyun's complexion turned red and white, sometimes he gritted his teeth, sometimes his eyes showed fear, and he remained silent for a while.

One of his sons quietly came up to him and whispered: "Dad, this Chen Zhao is so arrogant. We can't follow his wishes. Why don't we spend some money and find someone to do it for him... Oops!"

"Snapped!"

Before his son finished speaking, Liu Qingyun had already slapped him in the face, staggering his son, and shouted angrily: "Are you going to let our family be ruined early? This is an evil god, can you afford to offend him? Hurry up!

Go collect the wrong coins!"

After saying that, he walked into the door angrily.

It has to be said that Yangzhou salt merchants are as rich as the country, and that is absolutely true.

More than 800,000 taels of silver may not be available to the princes and ministers in the capital at once.

However, the Liu family had been salt merchants in Yangzhou for many years, and the money they had accumulated was a treasure trove of gold and silver. In the afternoon, they managed to scrape together more than 800,000 taels of silver.

A huge number of horse-drawn carriages, nearly over 200 in number, blocked the main street of the Salt Patrol Yamen.

Truckloads and boxes of silver were sent to the yamen treasury, and the white flowers dazzled everyone's eyes.

Even Lin Ruhai, the censor doctor, put down his posture and came to watch in person. Seeing this scene, he twirled his beard for a long time without saying a word, sighed and turned around to leave.

Not only was the Salt Patrol Censor's Yamen a sensation, but the entire city of Yangzhou was also a sensation.

Throughout the afternoon, countless people blocked the street, pointing and saying anything.

That night, in a deep house two streets away from the Yushi Yamen, a group of Yangzhou salt merchants were sitting in a lobby, all speechless.

The decoration in the lobby is extravagant, splendid, and the carved beams and paintings are just ordinary.

It is painted with gold and silver, and is carefully carved with water.

They all show their skills in the corners that are not noticed.

Perhaps it's just like this that people can discover the amazing things inadvertently.

And with such luxury, without decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation and management, I am afraid that this cannot be achieved.

But now everyone in the hall seems to have no intention to pay attention to this, or they have become accustomed to it.

Because this group of people are the real owners of Yangzhou City.

They are the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou.

The prosperity of Yangzhou City stems from the salt industry.

From paving roads and building bridges to providing support for the lonely elderly, salt merchants are almost always involved.

These salt merchants in Yangzhou City have won the hearts of the citizens by doing good deeds in the city, and they can indeed be called good people.

But compared to the people all over the world, they raise the price of mixing sand, gravel and mud into table salt and sell private salt. However, this harms the interests of the people all over the world.

This is the fact. I dare not tell the whole world, but at least the people in Yangzhou City know that the big salt merchants in the Salt Merchant Guild are all the top private salt dealers in private.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the eyes of people in Yangzhou City, this Salt Industry Guild is the sky of Yangzhou City.

Meeting here today are the top ten salt merchants.

At this time, the representatives of the top ten salt merchants were all unhappy.

But in fact, most people are actually pretending, and the only one who is really unhappy is the Liu family who ranks at the bottom, that is Liu Qingyun.

Even Zhao Haonan's father, Zhao Shanhe, the head of the salt merchants, who had contact with Chen Zhao, seemed unhappy, but in fact it didn't matter at all.

I only heard Liu Qingyun say: "My little brother has killed a big guy this time. The strong men under him are frightened and are unable to fight back. So I want to discuss with everyone here how to deal with such a situation."

It was Liu Qingyun who spoke.

This big salt merchant, who acted decisively in front of his own family and humbled himself in front of Chen Zhao, could only sit at the bottom of the pile in front of this group of salt merchants.

"Everyone, the so-called cold lips and teeth are cold. The Yangzhou Yushi Yamen will use me as a target today, and tomorrow it will raise its sword at you. If we don't work together and find a way to get through this situation, I'm afraid we won't end up well!"

Liu Qingyun continued.

The others remained silent.

Nonsense, over the years, the market prices of Yangzhou salt merchants have waxed and waned. Will there be some salt merchants who bet on the wrong thing and fall into trouble?

After all, the profits of salt merchants are too great, and there are too many people watching. If you do anything wrong, you will be surrounded by people from all directions.

Who knows if you, Liu Qingyun, offended that big shot and were targeted by Lin Ruhai?

Maybe they will kill your family and then support another family?

In this case, why should we help you?

What if we offend the boss behind us and get us involved too?

Just when Liu Qingyun was speechless, Zhao Shanhe spoke:

"Everyone, Qingyun is right, the so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold! The Liu family suffered such a heavy loss this time, and the whole Yangzhou city was shocked. If the Liu family fell, Lin Ruhai and Chen Zhao's eyes would be staring at who. We can't
