This old man is so old, why is he still so grumpy?
Liu Deng quickly stopped him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. To deal with such profiteers, as long as they kill their heads, I don't believe any of them dare to hoard them!"
Zhang Shou said angrily.
Liu Deng still couldn't adapt to Zhang Tu's way of thinking. After all, he came from a later life.
It's really hard to do this thing of cutting off people's heads at every turn.
"You go down first, I have something to say to the Tutor!"
After driving the clerk out, Liu Deng quickly motioned for Zhang Tu to sit down.
"On behalf of the king, you must not be lenient when dealing with such profiteers!"
Zhang Tu still looked murderous.
"Why are you so angry, Master Taifu? Now that we have this wonderful method of making salt, the salt we make is simply the best green salt, right?"
Liu Deng asked confidently.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Zhang Tu still didn't understand what Liu Deng meant. What on earth is the king doing?
"Those people are so hoarding that they will definitely swallow up all the goods on the market. If this happens, the price of salt will definitely rise sharply!"
With a smile on his face, Liu Deng analyzed Zhang Tu bit by bit.
"But so what? Aren't they taking all the people's money?"
Zhang Tu was still a little angry.
"From now on, the salt we make will be high-quality green salt. Then who will sell the coarse salt we made before?"
Seeing Zhang Tu's anxious look, Liu Deng's understatement hit the point.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that?"
At this moment, Zhang Tu suddenly understood.
There are not only 30,000 stones of refined salt in this official warehouse, but also hundreds of thousands of stones of coarse salt accumulated over the years.
From now on, all the home-made green salt will be high-quality green salt. Who will you sell this coarse salt to?
"What does the king mean?"
Zhang Tu asked thoughtfully.
"Let them make trouble. When they are done making trouble and the price of salt goes up, we will start selling the salt in the official warehouse. When they have bought up all the salt and start selling it, we will Our newly made green salt is sold at an affordable price!”
There was a wicked smile on Liu Deng's lips.
If you want to play evil tricks, is it possible that you can still play better than me, a person who has traveled from the next life?
Let you see what it means to use strength to fight, and what it means to move a thousand pounds with four ounces.
"Old minister, I understand. Then I will order you to go ahead and transfer 5,000 people from the military camp outside the city. From now on, all the prisoners on death row in the country will be sent to the Salt Lake to do hard labor!"
Zhang Tu's eyes immediately lit up. It was summer now, so he would first transfer some people from the military camp to set up the racks. After the prisoners arrived, they could start working directly.
This is simply a business without a basis!
"What the Master Taifu said is right. The salt our country needs in a year is only about 150,000 stone. In just one month, the Master Taifu can produce 50,000 stone salt. This time, they will definitely be able to produce it." All your money is lost!"
Unlike Wu State, the salt produced by Liu Deng was not only of high quality, but also did not require firewood, greatly reducing the cost.
All inferior goods will be taken away by those profiteers. Once Liu Deng's salt is put on the market, how will they be able to sell those goods. Then everything will fall into their hands.
"Your Majesty, this plan is very clever! If this happens, they will probably suffer the consequences!"
"They have come to my country to plunder the people's wealth for so many years. They should be allowed to spit out some of it!"
Liu Deng said with a sinister smile on the side.
"But if this happens, I'm afraid the people will suffer!"
Zhang Tu was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, how much salt can a poor family eat in a year? As for the rich and powerful families, the money is just a drop in the bucket. What's the big deal? After our green salt is put on the market, according to the household registration, each person can buy it at a flat price every year. Once a kilogram of green salt has been prepared, it will be regarded as a benefit to the people of Daiguo."
This thing came with no cost, and Liu Deng certainly didn't feel bad about spending it. Zhang Tu originally wanted to say nothing, but considering the terrifying speed of salt production, it really was nothing.
After all, there is actually a lot of salt that the people can eat. Dai State was originally a small country and the people were weak. The imperial court and Wu Chu and other countries were the big consumers of salt.
"Your Majesty, from the perspective of my veteran, I am afraid that from now on our country will have a few big salt merchants. I wonder how much the king of Dai thinks we can sell this high-quality green salt?"
Indeed, now is the time to think about the future. After all, with this hen that lays golden eggs around, it’s time to consider the sales of these salts.
"Master Taifu, do you know the cost of the sea salt sold in Wu State?"
Liu Deng did not answer his question, but asked instead.
"Of course this veteran knows that the ordinary sea salt they sell costs fifty cents per catty for firewood. If labor, transportation and miscellaneous expenses are added together, it is about one hundred cents, and the cost is one hundred and fifty cents! Of course! If it’s green salt, the cost will double or triple!”
Zhang Tu was very familiar with these things. After all, it was really no secret, because although the salt produced by Daiguo was not very good, the procedures for making salt were similar after all.
"If that's the case, then let me order you. From now on, the green salt sold from my country will be priced at 150 Wen!"
Liu Deng had a wicked smile on his face.
"But Your Majesty, if this happens, our profits will be greatly reduced!"
Zhang Tu immediately objected. After all, the current market price is 800 wen per catty. The gap is really huge!
"So what? It's just a small amount of money. Have you ever thought about what would happen to Wu and Chu if we shipped a large amount of goods to Wu Chu?"
Liu Deng asked in a persuasive manner.
"If this happens, what will happen to the states of Wu and Chu?"
Zhang Tu really hasn't thought about this problem, but it's not too late to think about it now. According to Liu Deng's logic, the price of high-quality green salt is cheaper than the cost of coarse salt!
Then they even made a ball of salt!
"If this happens, Wu Chu's salt production industry will be completely eliminated, hiss..."
Zhang Tu started to have a toothache. Liu Deng's hand was really too cruel. This was really a blow to others!
For the cost of coarse salt, you can buy high-quality refined salt. If they want to compete with Liu Deng, then they need a lower price!
But in this case, it would be equivalent to losing money for every kilogram of salt they sell!
But if they refuse to lose money, from now on, Wu Chu's market will be flooded with refined salt from Dai Kingdom!
"Your Majesty, if you do this, you will have a life-or-death feud with King Wu..."
"So what? He is in the first grade of junior high school, and I am in the fifteenth grade! Either don't do it, or do it!"
