If there was the Internet, people would find that the same scene appeared in every corner of Ming Dynasty.
In this man-made salt panic, many "salt merchants" found local landlords and sold large amounts of salt to them.
If someone keeps statistics, they will find that the total time spent by these salt merchants is 8 million shi.
This amount of salt was enough to feed the people of Ming Dynasty for a year.
But now there is no Internet or telephone. Even if other forces besides the imperial court want to know what is happening hundreds of miles away, it will take at least 2 days.
It was precisely because of the slow transmission of information and people's greed that Zhu Youjian's banner directly made Qiming Chamber of Commerce a profit of 70 million silver coins.
However, Zhu Youjian has no plans to stop now.
Although the price of salt is very high, Qiming Chamber of Commerce has the bottom line and the skyrocketing price of salt
Those who are tricked are those who are rich, and it has little impact on ordinary people.
According to the latest news, the salt sold by Zhu Youjian has been changed hands many times, and the current highest price of salt has reached 30 silver coins per stone.
Many people have already chosen to withdraw, but many people are still continuing to compete.
People's hearts are not enough, and huge interests have already blinded countless people's eyes.
Even though they knew that the court would not sit idly by, they still chose to jump in.
"Your Majesty, the price of salt on the market has now risen to 20 copper coins per pound. I kindly ask you to open a warehouse to release salt and stabilize the price of salt."
In the imperial study room, Shi Kefa knelt on the ground and said.
"Don't worry, with the Qiming Chamber of Commerce here, there won't be any big problems." Zhu Youjian refused.
Although making money is one of his main goals, it is not the only one.
For thousands of years, love for family has been deeply rooted in the bones of the Chinese nation. Many people would rather die than leave their hometown.
But social development cannot be separated from the movement of ordinary people.
The collision of cultures and technologies from different regions can greatly accelerate the technological development of society.
Zhu Youjian, you took a big risk and artificially started this salt panic, not just for the 70 million silver coins, but more importantly, to let the powerful people of the family take the lead in going out.
Although the Ming Dynasty was powerful, it still wanted the Ming Dynasty's dragon flag to be placed in every corner of the world. The Ming Dynasty still cannot do without the help of aristocratic families.
Pulling them into a trap, letting them take Ming Dynasty's exquisite items to Africa to buy slaves, form a slave army, and rescue the natives enslaved by the red barbarians from the abyss is Zhu Youjian's real plan.
When dealing with these indigenous people, it is not too much for the powerful landlords to take a small amount of profits.
It wouldn't be too much for the imperial court to help powerful landlords, form slave armies, and sell some obsolete equipment.
Only Zhu Youjian, the master of the Ming Dynasty, can implement such a plan that makes everyone happy and perfect.
"Do you think the Ming Dynasty is vast and rich in resources? Other places are barren lands?
To tell you the truth, the world is very big, and Ming Dynasty only occupies an insignificant corner of this world.
The trumpet of the times has sounded, and our Ming Dynasty has lagged far behind. If we still stand on our own laurels, most of the people will wait for those alien races to absorb enough power from other corners of the world. The only way for the Ming Dynasty is to perish. "
Zhu Youjian said.
"There is enough salt in the Ming Dynasty's treasury and government warehouses in various places. Not to mention that the salt transport fleet did not suffer much losses this time, even if the damage is complete, the Ming Dynasty will not be short of salt."
"But I can't do this. I can't let this salt panic end like this. The court needs some people to join in crazy and then be used by me."
Zhu Youjian said. The heights are different, and naturally the views are different.
Although Shi Kefa is capable and talented, he cannot escape the current society's insights.
Not only him, but in the eyes of at least 99% of people in Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty is the best in the world.
This understanding is not wrong. The current strength of Ming Dynasty is indeed the best in the world, but is this not necessarily a good thing for the country?
