Chapter 326

"Is Daqin firm really still selling salt?"

"It's true, and the four firms are selling. Although each person is limited to one kilogram, there is no limit on the number of people."

"This... How is this possible? Are other salt merchants secretly selling salt to them regardless of the rules? "

"It shouldn't be, you see..."

The salt merchant steward with a mustache shook his head, then took out a bottle from his arms and put it on the table.

"This... This is not Huai salt, nor well salt!"

The other two quickly opened the lid, looked at the yellow salt inside, tasted a little, and suddenly looked surprised.

"Look at these two..." the steward of the eight character beard took out two bottles again with a dignified face.

"This is green salt. No, green salt doesn't taste like this."

"Hiss, there... Is such white salt?"

When they opened the last lid and looked at the white salt inside, their faces changed greatly.

Almost all understand that this gang of anti thieves may have a new salt road, and both the quality and taste are better than Huai salt and well salt.

Finally, the oldest steward took a deep breath and asked, "what are the prices of these three kinds of salt?"

"This yellowing salt is 50 Wen per kilogram, and the green salt in the middle is 125 yuan per kilogram. As for the snowflake salt, it is sold at a price of 12 kg."

"It's over."

After the manager of the eight character beard finished, they both sat down in the chair directly, because they had no advantage at this price.

Inferior salt is 40 Wen a kilo in Jiangnan, and it needs to be doubled when it is transported to Xiangyang. But now these anti thieves only sell 50 Wen a kilo, and the quality and taste are several times better.

They still didn't give up. They went to Daqin commercial firm to have a look. They saw that the yellow salt had to buy with the certificate issued by the government. They were completely dead, and even the road of hoarding was broken.

So I had to contact other businessmen to put pressure together, but other businessmen began to postpone it.

Because the large gentry families in Nanyang have begun to buy their goods in large quantities. Everyone knows that the price is twice as expensive as before. If they raise the price or don't sell it again, once they annoy each other and break the jar, it will not pay the loss.

After all, other commodities, unlike salt, are not necessities, so they all plan to raise their prices in a while, bit by bit.

The three were helpless and waited for another two days. They saw that Daqin firms around the country were still selling salt. Finally, they had to choose to return to Jiangnan and report the matter to the owner.

The female shopkeepers of Daqin commercial firms in various counties are busy looking for agents in various towns.

Qin Huan didn't have the idea of opening branches to various towns, because it would require too many people, so he planned to find agents in various towns to sell salt, iron and grain.

There are two kinds of agents. One is to hang the plaque of Daqin firm. You can take the goods first and then pay, but you can only sell the goods of the firm.

The second is not to hang a plaque, pay money and deliver goods. Shops can sell other goods.

Both banks can make a loan.

Of course, in either case, the purchase price and the selling price are unified, and must be sold at the price set by the firm. Once the price rises privately, it will not only be fined, but also be disqualified.

Moreover, each town has to find two agents. There is no way. If only one agent is found, the service attitude can be imagined. Maybe there will be two less catties.

But not too much. Once anyone can buy goods from commercial firms in the county and city, they will inevitably be exploited.

After all, the prices of salt, grain and iron ware in the state of Daqin are not expensive. If they are transported to other places, they will definitely make a lot of money. Therefore, it is most appropriate to choose two agents in each town.

It's easy to control and let the two compete. The key is that everyone in the village knows that once a stranger buys or who buys repeatedly, it will be revealed.

Iron ware was ok, but food and salt must be strictly controlled. Qin Huan planned to buy them with the tickets unless the food and salt tickets were too troublesome.

With the advent of new year's Eve, the crazy shopping scene is finally over.

There are firecrackers everywhere in Xiangyang, Nanyang and Yunyang. In previous years, people couldn't even eat enough and burned two sections of bamboo at most. But this year, almost every family bought a hanging of firecrackers and a few pieces of red paper.

In the past, only large families were able to set off firecrackers, paste Spring Festival couplets and wear new clothes. Ordinary people were not qualified for the new year.

Of course, the busiest place is Xiangyang City. Before it was completely dark, glass lamps on both sides of the street were lit. Looking around, the whole city was illuminated like day.

In order to publicize his glazed lanterns, Qin Huan took out the 10000 horse lanterns that had just been produced. One was hung every ten meters in the street, and the city upstairs at the entrance of restaurants, shops and houses was also full.

Sure enough, the shock of bright lights was huge. Almost all restaurants and shops decided to buy the glazed lamps hanging at the door of their own house.

Those Southern businessmen who still stayed in the city had bright eyes and saw business opportunities, because this kind of glass lamp was much more convenient than lanterns.

The palace was also brightly lit. There were colored glass lamps everywhere. Hundreds of tables were placed in the square in front of the hall, extending all the way to the hall.

All the ladies, maids, handmaids and female guards gathered here. There were more than 4000 people. Almost all of them were women except King Qin.

Qin Huan and his concubines sat in the middle of the hall, followed by the wives of various bureaus, departments, places and departments.

It was almost three years since he came to the end of the Ming Dynasty. This was the busiest year for Qin Huan. Looking at the ladies beside him and the delicacies on the table, he felt comfortable.

Compared with the happy new year in Daqin, other areas are still in deep water.

The Central Plains is full of devastation. Niu Er attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold in Kaifeng mansion. He has been forced to Kaifeng mansion. The army has also crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi. Everywhere he goes is like a locust crossing the border.

But Hong Chengchou was still trying his best to get to Taiyuan. He even spent the night in a carriage.

The South was also not calm. The eighth king, who was called the queen in Changsha, began to sweep south, with a great potential to sweep the whole of Hunan.

Zuo Liangyu recruited soldiers and horses in Jiangxi in order to restore strength as soon as possible. He was also crazy to burn, kill and loot.

In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng, who was in Wuchang, not only turned a blind eye, but also breathed a sigh of relief. He was crazy about recruiting and training troops while building weapons, armor, fire gun and artillery.

Because of Qin Huan's land policy in Xiangyang and Nanyang, the gentry in Wuchang, Jingzhou and other state capitals became generous for the first time, so that Lu Xiangsheng was not short of money, grain, iron ware and craftsmen.

Obviously, the gentry in Hubei and Guangzhou have begun to vigorously support Lu Xiangsheng in order to resist the Chinese army.
