Chapter 789
However, the Northern Qi Dynasty was powerful and there were many wealthy businessmen. They needed refined salt, and a large amount of refined salt, which not only demonstrated their financial strength, but also demonstrated their unparalleled social status.
As a result, many wealthy businessmen rushed to buy. However, most people who rushed to buy for the first time had a trying mentality. They did not buy much, almost three to five kilograms.
"Huh? No! This salt actually doesn't have any bitter taste at all, it's all salty, and even has a little salt flavor! If I'm not wrong, this quality is even better than the royal salt that has been specially supplied by the royal family in the past!"
"Yes, that's right! The quality of this salt is absolutely amazing. I bought the royal special salt that came into the market before. At that time, I spent one hundred taels of silver to buy three kilograms. In comparison, the royal special salt is completely inferior. It’s rubbish, but this refined salt tastes the best!”
"It's worth it. One hundred and fifty taels a pound is really worth it. Go, hurry up and buy another fifty pounds. Oh no, I want a hundred pounds!"
"A hundred pounds is nothing? I want three hundred pounds!"
After getting the high-quality refined salt, a large number of wealthy businessmen and leaders began to compare. When they tasted the high-quality refined salt imported from Datang, their eyes lit up and they were full of praise.
In an instant, a stone stirred up thousands of waves, and countless people took action at this moment.
"Sorry, Master, all the salt supplied by the royal family has been sold out!"
"What? All sold out? All the four major stores in the west, east, south, and north of the city are sold out?"
Remember URL
"Yes, Master, second-hand dealers have appeared in the market now, and their price for a pound of salt has been set at two hundred taels!"
"Two hundred taels? Fifty taels more expensive! These profiteers! That's all. This kind of fine salt is hard to come by. Two hundred taels is just two hundred taels. Go and buy it!"
"No, Master!"
"what happened again?"
"Two hundred taels a pound of second-hand fine salt were also robbed!"
"What?"
After tasting the fine salt from Datang, the 10,000 kilograms of salt ordered by Beiqi were sold out in less than an hour.
In fact, high-quality refined salt has been constantly hyped, first to 200 taels per catty, then to 300 taels per catty, and finally to the outrageous price of 500 taels per catty.
Crazy, the fine salt imported from Datang has been sold like crazy.
As noon approached, Emperor Qi kept pacing in the palace, with a hint of worry on his face: "I don't know how the refined salt is being sold. Will the price of 150 taels per kilogram be raised? What if this group of people What should we do if the princes, nobles and wealthy families don’t buy it?”
"Your Majesty, I am so happy, so happy!"
Just as Emperor Qi was hesitating, an old eunuch ran over with excitement on his face.
"Oh? Great joy? What great joy?" Emperor Qi asked in surprise.
The old eunuch hurriedly said: "It's all sold out. Ten thousand kilograms of fine salt were sold out in less than an hour. One and a half million taels of silver per kilogram are arriving one after another!"
"What? All sold out? Are...are you sure?" Qi Huang asked, unable to calm down.
The old eunuch said again: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am sure! Not only are they sold out, they are even sold like crazy. Now it is hard to find salt in the capital, and a large number of second-hand dealers have emerged on the market. They will finally determine the price of salt." At 500 taels per kilogram, even with this ridiculous price, it is still being snatched up like crazy, and now there is no good quality salt left on the market!”
"Wow!!!"
It was determined that the fine salt imported from the Tang Dynasty was selling like crazy in Northern Qi. Emperor Qi could no longer control his emotions. He was so horrified that he suddenly cursed.
