Such things continue to appear in various large and small business houses in Jinyang City.
It was only the first day, and the big salt merchants from various vassal states had already purchased nearly 200,000 shi of coarse salt!
"Your Highness, according to the news from Shopkeeper Zhao, no trading firm in Jinyang City still has inventory!"
At Wang Shengzhi's house, Yang Sheng came to tell Liu Xian the good news with a smile on his face.
"Very well, how are the people sent elsewhere?"
Liu Xian was in a good mood. He had already begun to look forward to it. When Liu Deng knelt in front of him and begged him, how should he humiliate him?
Jinyang City is where the major merchants of Dai Kingdom are located. It only took him one day to clear them all out. This news should spread to other places soon.
In ten days at most, apart from the salt Liu Deng had in stock, I am afraid there will be no more salt on the market.
The coarse salt produced in Dai's country could not be sold at all originally, but now, all of it has been purchased by Liu Xian at a high price.
"Basically all the salt reserves around Jinyang have been purchased by us. There is no news from other places yet, but we don't have much copper coins on hand now..."
Yang Sheng said with some embarrassment.
"Go ahead and send someone back to Guangling immediately, and seize the time to escort the gold and silver to Daiguo!"
Liu Xian gave the order without even thinking about it.
If such a large transaction were all settled in copper coins, just transporting the coins would be enough to make him miserable.
It would be much more convenient to change it to gold and silver, but Liu Xian didn't expect that this would be a big hole dug for him by Liu Deng.
When it was dark, Jinyang ordered Chen Shunzhi to rush outside the palace to see Liu Deng.
"What's wrong? It's late at night!"
Liu Deng, who had just finished drawing and was eating, asked displeasedly.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. Several big merchants from the vassal states are buying up salt near Jinyang. Now there is no salt left to sell around Jinyang. Even the worst coarse salt has been bought up by them. The price of salt has been rising all the time, and now they sell coarse salt for 550 yuan!"
"Only five hundred and fifty cents?"
Liu Deng asked in a cooing voice.
Chen Shunzhi almost jumped up. Does this king know how much ordinary coarse salt costs per pound?
It’s already 550 yuan, and the price is already several times higher than the original selling price. Why isn’t this fucking king in a hurry?
"You go down first and wait until they copy 800 words!"
Liu Deng said nonchalantly.
"Your Majesty, if this happens, I'm afraid it will cause civil unrest. If we don't care about them, I'm afraid we won't be able to quell it by then!"
Chen Shun was so anxious that he almost jumped up, but Liu Deng remained unhurried while eating and waving for him to go down.
"Your Majesty, I request your Majesty to send troops immediately to capture them all for the crime of hoarding!"
Chen Shunzhi gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily and said.
"Do you know who the leader is?"
Liu Deng finally put down the rice bowl in his hand and asked while chewing.
"I know that the leader is Liu Xian, the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom. But this is the territory of Dai Kingdom after all. They are so wanton and reckless. If King Dai does not punish them, I am afraid that the country of Dai will soon be devastated!"
As Chen Shunzhi spoke, tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes.
Liu Deng was completely confused now. He still couldn't understand why these people could cry so easily.
This emotion was really too rich, but people were crying, and he was embarrassed to say such harsh words.
"You should go back first. I have my own thoughts on this matter. They will repay me when they get 800 yuan!"
Liu Deng stood up directly and walked towards his dormitory.
You've been busy all day, and it's time to take a look at the seedlings you planted. These things are your future capital.
Seeing that the king left without caring, Chen Shunzhi wailed a few times, but there was still no response, so he had no choice but to go home.
"God, are you trying to destroy my country?"
From all this distance, Liu Deng could hear Chen Shunzhi's wailing.
"What's the big deal? How come the country is being destroyed every day? Isn't it just a little salt? What a big deal!"
Liu Deng muttered as he walked.
"Your Majesty, this is not a bit of salt. If all the salt is taken away by them, how much will the salt on the market cost? But it is all up to them! Don't take it lightly!"
Du Ziteng hurriedly chatted from the side.
"You fool me, how dare you interfere in anything? Build your house properly and look at your flowers!"
Liu Deng rolled his eyes, kicked him angrily and said.
Du Ziteng immediately knelt down to apologize. He had just said it smoothly, but he immediately regretted it after he said it. In this important matter of the imperial court, he, a little guard, could not talk too much.
"Stop being a kowtower here. Let me ask you, how is the wall you were asked to build?"
Liu Deng asked, touching his nose.
"We are still in the preparation stage. All detections have just been completed. According to the king's original design, it is fifty miles long and three feet high, so the thickness must be at least five feet. If such a high wall is completed within two months, I am afraid it will be at least It requires 30,000 civilians. If you dare to ask your Majesty, although I don’t know what your Majesty is planning to do, can you build a smaller one first and then continue to expand it after it is completed?"
Du Ziteng asked cautiously.
"30,000 people?"
Liu Deng was also stunned. He originally wanted to build a place similar to the industrial park of later generations, but he forgot that this was not the later generations. Such a big project would really waste people and money at this time. .
"Then change it. Give me a fifty-acre piece of land along the river bend, and just wrap the river bend for me!"
Liu Deng thought for a while, and now he can only do this.
As a great king, he is now very poor. It would be great if it could be built in one go, but it takes two months to work for 30,000 people. How much copper does this guy get?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Ziteng was also beating the drum in his heart. Last time, he only made an estimate based on experience. However, after actual survey, the total cost of the project soared from the original 50,000 guan to 400,000 guan. Such a huge difference almost cost him Scared to death.
"Okay, okay, less flattering and more work, hurry up and build this wall for me!"
Liu Deng didn't even bother to look at him. He picked up a small shovel next to him and carefully loosened the soil for the seedlings. His movements were so gentle, with a lewd smile on his face, which looked very disgusting.
On the edge of the salt lake,
"Master Taifu, according to our current progress, I am afraid that in five days, we will be able to produce three thousand tons per day!"
Looking at the busy construction site in front of him, Tian Chong felt for the first time that making money was so easy!
