Boss Xu is a small salt merchant in the land of Guanlong. On weekdays, he must not only endure the exploitation of the big salt merchant, but also curry favor with the big salt merchant. Otherwise, once the big salt merchant is unhappy and directly cut off the salt, boss Xu's family can only drink the West and north wind.
When he heard the news about the big green salt in the ink magazine, he immediately drove the carriage to the county to taste the big green salt. After tasting the big green salt, he immediately took out most of his savings and bought the salt ticket of the big green salt.
The quality of Daqing salt itself is superior. In addition to the purification technology of Mohist school, it not only tastes good, but also sells well. At first glance, it is known that it is superior table salt and does not worry about sales,
For some small salt merchants like boss Xu, if they hoard salt, the risk is too great. Just storage is a huge expense. Now they have salt tickets in hand and take salt at any time to minimize their risk. In order to open the market of Daqing salt, Merton has retained enough profits for salt merchants and can not make small and medium-sized salt merchants excited.
This is the advantage of doing business with mojiazi. It is not only profitable, but also extremely convenient.
With the sign of Mohist school, small salt merchants like boss Xu have moved one after another to abandon other salt merchants and monopolize Daqing salt.
With the listing of carts of Daqing salt, Daqing salt with high quality and low price and convenient delivery quickly seized the market. Lanzhou, Tianshui, Chencang and Daqing salt fell one after another along the brick road, and other table salt retreated one after another.
Especially when the finest fine salt of Daqing salt was transported to Chang'an City, the salt price in Chang'an city immediately fell by 30%.
"Mojiazi!"
Many big salt merchants gnash their teeth.
I'm afraid these big salt merchants have suffered the most heavy losses this time. Before, they hoarded a large amount of salt and their position is as stable as Mount Tai. However, once Daqing salt appears in the market, it is not only better than them, but also cheaper than them. It is convenient to pick up the goods. Many salt merchants directly hit their hands.
Among the salt merchants, the Taiyuan Wang family suffered the most heavy losses, and almost half of the market in Guanlong land was lost. However, the Taiyuan Wang family was not angry but happy, because although Daqing salt caused them heavy losses, it exposed a flaw in Merton, that is, the method of salt making.
The Mohists made snow salt with coarse salt, directly seizing half of the fine salt market in Chang'an City, which made the Wang family jealous. Unfortunately, the Mohist village hid the salt making method very tightly, and the Wang family couldn't get it easily.
However, in the Daqing salt workshop in Lanzhou City, many salt merchants naturally have opportunities. From the moment when Daqing salt is made, the method of making salt by mojiazi has appeared on the desks of various salt merchants, and the Wang family is no exception.
Daqing salt is backed by Chaka Salt Lake, and his Wang family also controls Yuncheng Salt Lake. If the Mohist salt making method is obtained, the Wang family's salt production will increase sharply. What is the loss in front of you?
Beside Yuncheng Salt Lake! Wang Zhe, who was recalled from the family, looked happy. He had a big fall because of the Mohist snow salt at the beginning. Now his Taiyuan Wang family has obtained the Mohist salt making method and must be ashamed before the snow.
"Wang Dong! How's the new salt made?" Wang Zhe asked impatiently.
Wang Dongnai is the shopkeeper of the salt store in Chang'an city. This time, he made a special trip back to Yuncheng to supervise the manufacture of new salt for the sake of the salt making method of Mohism.
Wang Dong bowed and said, "master Hui, the craftsmen have just come into contact with Mohist crafts and are still familiar with them. I believe they will be well soon."
Although Wang Zhe was anxious, he could only bear his temper secretly when he heard Wang Dong say so.
"Shopkeeper, crystal!" suddenly an old craftsman with gray hair said in surprise.
Wang Zhe and Wang Dong rushed to the craftsman when they heard the speech. They saw crystal clear salt grains at the bottom of a burning boiler.
In order to succeed as soon as possible, Wang Zhe uses the fastest method of boiling salt. With a wave of his hand, Wang Zhe withdraws the firewood under the boiler. Wang Zhe can't wait for the temperature to drop. He can't wait to knock down a piece of salt from the boiler, cool it and put it in his mouth.
"Ah, bah!"
Wang Zhe's face suddenly twisted and bitter.
"How could it be so bitter! Could it be the wrong secret recipe!" Wang Zhe roared. This time, they used the salt making method of Mohism. The new salt is still hard to swallow, and the unique bitterness of Yuncheng Salt Lake still lingers.
Wang Dong couldn't believe it. He tasted it and spit out the dry salt in his mouth.
"Impossible! The villain has done this set of craft many times in Lanzhou, and it is impossible to make mistakes." the old craftsman said firmly.
Wang Dong shook his head and said, "young master, from a small point of view, there is nothing wrong with this set of technology. You see, these salt grains are very pure."
Wang Zhen calmed down and muttered to himself, "how can the big green salt be so mellow, but my Yuncheng Salt Lake is so different."
"From a small point of view, I'm afraid the biggest reason is the lake salt. It must be the good quality of Chaka Salt Lake, and our Yuncheng Salt Lake has always been called bitter salt. This method is a method specially tailored by mojiazi for the lake salt of Chaka Salt Lake, which is not necessarily suitable for Yuncheng Salt Lake." Wang Dong said bitterly.
Although Wang Dong's remark is a guess, he guessed that Chaka Salt Lake is a natural and superior edible salt. Yuncheng Salt Lake is one of the three largest sodium sulfate salt lakes in the world. Its composition is complex, and it is difficult to separate out other components with the original filtration method, so that even the local edible salt in Yuncheng will be transported from other provinces in future generations.
"So we've been busy for nothing?" Wang Zhe said angrily.
Wang Dong shook his head and said, "don't worry, young master. Although we couldn't make green salt, we found a way to make snow salt."
Wang Zhen's eyes lit up and suddenly realized that the snow salt produced in Mojia village was made of Yuncheng crude salt. They must be able to produce a large amount of snow salt by using this recipe.
"Use this method to make Yuncheng fine salt immediately. I want the snow salt in Mojia village to disappear completely in Chang'an city." Wang Zhe said with a smile.
The same thing happens in various salt producing areas. Although the method of manufacturing Daqing salt is not suitable for other salt producing areas, it brings a method of purifying fine salt to other salt producing areas.
Thinking of the profiteering fine salt, many salt producing areas began to make a large number of fine salt.
A big green salt directly stirred the salt administration of Guanlong land. Not only the folk wind and clouds surged, but also the chaotang was quite concerned. The whole chaotang was relieved until the salt price in Guanzhong land was stable at 80% of the normal price.
"The Mohist family is really a catfish, and can toss up such big waves everywhere." many courtiers sighed.
The great storm that Merton tossed around in Tuyuhun had already spread to the whole Chang'an City for the first time. However, as batches of money were pulled into the vassal treasury of the Ministry of the people, the important officials of the Manchu Dynasty had to hold their nose to recognize it for the sake of money
