The salt scent was not burned, and Chen Xi took the entire Guangdong Salt Course Division to Lianguo. Chen Xi's temporary governor's office became the new Salt Course Division Division, responsible for selling the salt scent for the new year.

As summer is about to pass, Guangdong's summer salt has not yet been adjusted, and local salt prices have been rising all the way. Even the salt prices in Guangzhou have increased from about 40 cents per pound to 50 cents. Obviously, others are not optimistic about Chenxi's overbearing and selling salt.

The governor and the envoy were ready to cause trouble for Chen Xi.

The Yankee Session Office was pulled out by Chenxi, but the salt fields under its jurisdiction were all very good. These salt fields were backed by local governments. Although Chenxi was of high position and powerful position, he could not directly interfere in the affairs of the salt fields. The culprit Chen Huaijing and others were taken down, but they had no right to convict him and could only wait for further instructions from Yingtianfu.

"...Mr. Shen, your salt storm is probably not easy to get out. The Fanshi has already explained that this year, the salt storm would rather rot in your hands than allow anyone to buy it. Even if you buy it, you won't put salt on the salt field."

In order to facilitate the salt induced, Chen Xi invited some salt merchants in the city to come back to inquire about the situation, but the first news he got was not very good.

The local snake is powerful!

Don’t you, Chenxi, want to use the help of buying and selling salt to raise money, grain and supplies? My governor ordered the local government to warn the salt farm and prohibit them from going out of the salt farm. Even if you have salt, don’t want to raise the salt from the salt farm.

Since you say you are responsible for one shoulder, you will not be able to sell salt in the end, and it will not be able to solve the problem of local salt use, which will affect the fiscal revenue of the court and local governments. Once it is pursued, you can only bear the responsibility.

Dismissals are all light!

If you are lost, you can ask our General Administration Office to take charge of the matter of selling salt and citations. The matter can be said to have never happened. The General Administration Office will even share some benefits for you as a "meeting gift".

Chen Xi asked, "Don't put salt in the salt field, are you waiting for it to be broken?"

"Master Shen, you may not know that as long as this salt is stored well, it will not be a problem to be stored for ten or eight years. Even if it is damp, it will be sunburned again. This salt is the least afraid of insects..."

A salt merchant in his forties told the seriousness of the problem in Chenxi, "The people from the vassal department said that the salt cannot be sold this year, and the blame is not on the salt field. Lord Shen, because Lord Shen had issued a military order before, he can only find you if something happens. In addition, the vassal department and the vassal department have jointly submitted a report to the court to seal Lord Shen's salt class and report to impeach Lord Shen. Lord Shen must consider it carefully. If one is careless, he will be ruined!"

The Guangdong Provincial Administration and the Criminal Commissioner Office followed one move after another. The salt guild had just set fire to the fire but did not burn the salt guild. He immediately took advantage of the local tyrants and greeted local gentry and merchants, and did not buy salt guilds from Chenxi. At the same time, the salt field did not add salt. Even if the ignorant person came to buy salt guilds, it would be rotten in his hands.

He still couldn't give up this, and he even impeached Chen Xi to the court.

The local three departments have rarely impeached the governor. After all, the three departments are nominally subordinates of the governor's yamen. It is rare for subordinates to impeach superiors, and even if they are justified, they will make them mess up. However, Guangdong Chengxuan and the Censor's Office were furious. Anyway, they were already chaotic, so they were not afraid of making a big deal.

Chen Xi estimated that the nobles of the two capitals knew that he was "doing mischief" in Guangdong, and would definitely jointly ask the emperor for a complaint and remove his governor of the three provinces. As for whether to return to the capital to continue to be a Hanlin official, or transfer him to other places to demote him, it all depends on the emperor's mood.

From this point of view, Chen Xi's governor seemed to have come to an end.

The middle-aged salt merchant continued: "Mr. Shen, as the saying goes, take a step back and the vast sky is wide. I think you should follow the vassal department. It is better to rebuild the old ones in the Niesi. This salt can be sold easily, and your official position should be well-behaved. Even if you suppress the bandits, as long as the vassal department and the Niesi report to the top, who will question you have made contributions in the local area? In this way, everyone can live up to their face, sir..."

When Chen Xi heard this, he suddenly realized that the salt merchant was a lobbyist sent by the governor. He actually said that the name was a serious person, and he used all the coercion and inducement, so that I could compromise, right? Chen Xi pretended not to know and said in a calm tone: "I know what to do, please come back."

Tang Yin, who had been listening to these salt merchants, curled his lips and said, "I knew it would be very troublesome... Now the vassal and the magistrates do not stop easily, and there is no salt on the salt field. So what if there is only salt? Should I send troops to the salt field to grab salt?"

Chen Xi looked at Tang Yin and suddenly smiled: "Brother Bo Hu really reminded the dreamer with one word!"

Tang Yin was shocked and stared at Chen Xi with wide eyes: "Shen Zhongcheng, don't do anything randomly... If the country's financial resources are half the law of salt, the court has always had strict regulations on the salt farm. It is a serious crime to lead troops to break in private. Even if you are the governor of the three provinces, you do not have such authority. If the court knows about it, at least you will be dismissed from office and inquire about it!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Brother Bo Hu, don't worry, even if I do something randomly, I won't implicate you. Do you think I am the kind of person who is ignorant?"

Tang Yin was shocked and thought to himself: "I don't know whether others know the right position or not. I only know that you don't know the right position. In less than three months after coming to Fujian and Guangdong, you killed a right governor and a salt tutor. Maybe you want to take down the Guangdong vassal department and the Nisi yamen in the next step. Now you want to lead troops to the salt yard... You are not here to suppress bandits, but to treat officials from the three provinces as pirates!"

Chen Xi came to the back hall, sat in front of the table, picked up a brush to write a notice, and said while writing, "Brother Bohu will post the notice later, indicating that the official will sell salt citations publicly in two days, and will be sold at the market price, with no additional price. Moreover, gentry, merchant, or households can come to buy and sell salt citations."

Tang Yin said in a difficult situation: "Shen Zhongcheng, you have not heard from those who are proficient in salt affairs that the governor and the governor has given a dead order to the salt farm below. Even if there is salt, no salt is allowed. Now the salt merchants are watching. They may buy a few portions of salt and try it. If they really can't bring out salt, they will not buy in large quantities... These businessmen are the most smart, how can they do a loss-making business?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "If you don't try it, how can Brother Bo Hu know that it won't work? In addition, I will add one. Whether it is a merchant in Guangzhou, a merchant in Fujian, Huguang, Zhejiang, or Guangxi, you can come to buy and sell salt intake. As for whether anyone buys it, it has nothing to do with Brother Bo Hu."

Tang Yin thought to himself, I am just a salary and waiting to die. If you ask me to post a notice, I will go, just don’t turn back and cause trouble for me.

After Chen Xi finished the notice, he changed into casual clothes and took people to a restaurant in the city. He wanted to find out the news in the city and see the attitude of the salt merchants.

In fact, as Tang Yin expected, salt merchants would not do business at a loss. They all knew that strong dragons could not defeat the local snake, the governor. Even if they sold official salt, they would have to wait and see before talking about it.

The biggest advantage of doing salt induction transactions with the governor’s yamen is that you don’t have to pay heavy taxes or consider bribery issues. This will reduce the cost of salt induction very low, but the disadvantages are also quite obvious. If you can’t get salt out of it after getting salt, you will smash the salt in your hand.

Salt ingestion is time-efficient. After the salt ingestion is released in winter, the salt ingestion in summer will become invalid and the capital will be lost.

After lunch in the winery, Chen Xi went to Hui Niang and Li Jin personally and told them his intentions. In fact, the governor's office actually made him feel disguised. The salt merchant refused to buy salt yin, so the salt yin was handed over to Hui Niang and Li Jinxin's newly established business, which would help the two girls open up a gap in Guangzhou and rise quickly.

Hui Niang was a little worried: "Master, this... we only have more than 2,000 taels of silver at hand. According to the market price, how can we support this big business if we buy back a thousand small salt? "

Li Jin was also curious about looking at Chen Xi. They were all businessmen. Li Jin and Hui Niang understood the principles of the business world, that is, the big hat they wear as big as their heads.

This time, the Guangdong Salt Class Testimonial Department had more than 80,000 yuan in salt intake. According to the market price, it was equivalent to a price of 300,000 to 400,000 taels of silver. Even in the heyday of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, I could not eat half of the salt intake, let alone the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce had long been destroyed.

The salt behind this 80,000-plus large amount of salt is related to the daily use of salt by tens of millions of people in Jiangnan, Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places. No merchant in the Ming Dynasty could afford such a big business.

Chen Xidao: "The salt in my hands is all in my hands. I will give it to you, but it's just turning the left hand into the right hand. How much does it cost?"

Hui Niang couldn't help but show a little shock in her eyes, and then frowned and thought. Li Jin couldn't hide his words in her heart and said directly: "Master, even if you turn your left hand and your right hand, Wu Yan's class will be handed over to the court and sigh!"

Chen Xi smiled and explained: "I thought of this. Just do as I say. I have a way to get you salt, and at the same time provide enough salt to transport to all places so that the people on the southeast coast can eat cheap salt."

Li Jin and Hui Niang looked at each other, and they all realized that Chen Xi's ambition was too great.

There are many problems that have not been solved now. Chen Xi actually wants the people in the southeast to eat affordable salt. But with their current identities, they are not qualified to question Chen Xi's decision. Hui Niang is a little blindly obedient to Chen Xi. Even if she dies in prison, she can be rescued by Chen Xi. Now, as the governor of the three provinces, Shen Xi is powerful and powerful, but it is just a problem of salt. How difficult can it be? Li Jin is completely unfavorable about this matter, but he dare not say it out.

Chen Xidao: "The money I had prepared before. Although the cost of buying salt is slightly insufficient, each small amount of salt is only 2 cents, and two thousand taels of silver is enough to buy 10,000 small amount of salt. This is your capital. You must learn to make a big difference with small amounts."

Hui Niang and Li Jin were both businessmen, and they immediately understood that they had 2,000 taels of silver on hand. Without paying the price of salt induction, they could only pay the taxed part and exchange it for 10,000 small induction, which is 2 million jin of salt.

If you can sell all these two million kilograms of salt, even if you sell them at a fair price, it will be a huge fortune. After that, you can continue to make a fortune by buying about 50,000 small jin from Shenxi. If you change hands two or three, you can digest all the salt jin on Chenxi.

But this is based on the fact that salt can be mentioned from the salt field, which at present seems very difficult.

***************

ps: The fourth update is here!

The salt administration of the Ming Dynasty was much more complicated than written in books. The information in the hands of the emperor alone was more than 300 pages thick. However, as a popular person, the emperor felt that it was not necessary to be so professional, so he tried to write it as simple as possible!

The emperor will go to the orthopedic hospital to change the dressing tomorrow, and the update may be delayed. Please understand! It is late at night, and the emperor continues to ask for subscription and monthly ticket support! Thank you! (To be continued.)8
