"I apologize to you on behalf of my son Zhushan!" The speaker was Zhou Zhushan's father, Zhou Lijie.
This person is wearing a sunflower-colored round collar, a silver belt, and soap boots. His appearance is sharp and as thin as a rock, but his dark eyes always have a smile.
Mrs. Zhou came to Rongcheng with Zhou Lijie this time for a very clear purpose, that is, she wanted to buy new salt from Liu Mo to solve an urgent need.
In his opinion, the conflict between Zhou Zhushan and Liu Mo would not be possible without Mrs. Zhou coming forward!
"Zhushan has known Shiqi since he was a child. He has liked this girl since he was a child, and he has mentioned to me more than once that he wants to marry her. It's a pity that he doesn't have this blessing." Zhou Lijie said.
"It's also my fault. Since he was a child, he has given him whatever he wants. As a result, he has developed such a weird temper. If he likes anything, he must get it!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Lijie paused.
"When he learned that nephew Liu Xian was going to marry Shi Qi, the child couldn't think about it for a moment, so he wanted to find someone to vent his anger on. It's just that these people under him would get it wrong and almost kill someone!"
Then, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Zhushan angrily.
"Is that so? Treason, please give me a word!"
Yes, in order to show sincerity, Zhou Lijie went with Zhou Zhushan this time.
Zhou Zhushan suppressed his blush and said reluctantly, "That's right, those idiots will get it wrong!"
Liu Mo sneered, "You guys are really capable, according to what you said. Zhou Zhushan just wanted to find someone to beat me up, scare me, and make me give up on Lin Shiqi. It was all because those killers got it wrong!"
How shameless!
At this time, Zhou Lijie strode forward and handed an exquisite brocade box to Liu Mo.
When he opened it, he saw that the brocade box contained a pair of exquisite jade pendants.
"Nephew Liu Xian, it is better to make friends than to make enemies. Zhushan also suffered in prison, and all those who assassinated you lost their lives. Do you want to accept the small gift and shake hands with my son to make peace?"
You want to send me, Liu Mo, away from such a rag? hehe!
Seeing that Liu Mo didn't respond, Zhou Lijie angrily raised his right foot and kicked Zhou Zhushan's knee, "You bastard, kneel down for nephew Liu Xian!" He scolded sternly, "If it weren't for nephew Liu Xian's great fortune, , blessed by gods and Buddhas.
According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, whoever kills will die, and you will not survive today! "
Forced by Zhou Lijie's majesty, Zhou Zhushan knelt down on the ground with a livid face, "Zhou was confused for a moment and did such a stupid thing, which almost caused Brother Liu Xian to die. Today in front of the old lady and my father, I want to express my gratitude to you." Apologize.
Your Excellency has a lot, please spare me this time! "
After saying that, Zhou Zhushan kept kowtowing.
"Dong dong dong!" The wooden floor rang loudly.
Mrs. Zhou, however, remained silent and looked at Liu Mo indifferently.
The message is clear, the decision is yours.
"Hey..." Liu Mo sighed secretly.
"You moved out Mrs. Zhou and started such a cruel trick. What can I do except choose and forgive?"
So Liu Mo quickly leaned down and helped Zhou Zhushan up: "Brother Zhou, we are all brothers. Just clear up the misunderstanding!"
"Hahaha, thank you nephew Liu Xian for putting aside the past grudges! My aunt is really lucky to have a grandson-in-law like you!" Zhou Lijie said with a smile, "It's embarrassing to say that Zhou came to Rongcheng this time with another thing. We need to discuss the matter with my nephew."
"Please say!"
Zhou Lijie subconsciously glanced at his son, who had been causing trouble for him all day long, "This sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man should just take a piss and take a picture of himself! He actually wants to get involved in the official salt industry, and he wants to eat the swan's shit!"
Now, is it causing trouble? Why don't you ask Nephew Zhou Xian to save you! "
The scolding made Zhou Zhushan blush and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"You brat, what are you doing standing there, why don't you kneel down!" Zhou Lijie raised his voice again.
"It doesn't have to be like this!" Liu Mo stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Lijie, who was about to make a move. "We are all our own people. We can discuss anything!"
You have to do enough to save your face, so that I can kill you when the time comes. Hehe, you brought it to your door yourself!
Zhou Lijie snorted heavily at Zhou Zhushan, and then smiled again, "Nephew Liu, may I ask how much new salt Xiangshan County can produce per month?"
"Haha, Uncle Zhou Shi, how much new salt do you need every month?"
Zhou Lijie touched his nose and said, "We need 700,000 jins of new salt every month!"
Good guy!
700,000 jins a month, 8.4 million jins a year, 4,200 tons of salt.
Rongcheng is not a big city, with a population of 2.78 million. This amount is equivalent to nearly 31 kilograms of salt per year for each ordinary person in Rongcheng.
If calculated on a monthly basis, each person has three kilograms of salt per month, which is far more than the amount of modern people on earth! Moreover, this still includes all heads, and does not exclude the people of Rongcheng who cannot afford salt.
Your Zhou family is so greedy and courageous that you signed orders blindly without doing any market research.
The other one, Huang Shouren, was also ruthless and forced others to a dead end.
Fortunately, I, Liu Mo, had prostituted more than a dozen new salt processing plants for nothing, otherwise even a time-traveling boss like me wouldn't be able to produce such a large amount.
"Haha, I thought how much it would cost, it's a small thing, a small thing!" Liu Mo said, patting his chest and hugging, "Leave this matter to me, Liu Mo. As for the old gang leader of the Salt Gang Palace in Rongcheng, I and this county Master He has already asked.
Purchasing salt from salt merchants who have joined the salt gang for sale is not a gang rule. "
Zhou Lijie then sighed and said, "That's very good."
However, the next second, his keenness in doing business for many years made him realize that something was wrong. "Have you already sighed? This kid has been fully prepared for a long time. He has dug a hole and is waiting for me to jump!"
Although he felt very unhappy, Zhou Lijie could only endure the bad breath.
Seeing this, Liu Mo was secretly happy, and then immediately started the next topic, "Uncle Shi, let's talk about the price now, shall we?"
The price of salt in the Daxia Dynasty was almost the same as that in the Ming Dynasty on Earth. The price of salt fluctuated with the current situation, and the price of salt varied greatly in different regions.
Taking Jiang Linfu as an example, when the price of official salt is low, it is about four or five cents per catty, and when it is expensive, it is about twenty or thirty cents per catty.
Now that the war has just ended, the price of salt has been controlled to a certain extent, about 17 to 18 cents per pound. Of course, this is the table salt that ordinary people eat. The "refined salt" consumed by wealthy households is about three times that of ordinary table salt.
Liu Mo's new salt is of better quality than "refined salt". Logically speaking, the price can be sold for about fifty cents.
However, if something is going to happen and the new salt is popularized, the price must be kept low.
Therefore, when the salt gang was asked to set the price, he set the price based on the price of ordinary table salt, which was fifteen cents per catty.
Zhou Zhushan wants to compete with Liu Mo, so the price cannot be high, so he also sets the price at fifteen cents per catty.
The Yan Gang made a comprehensive consideration and finally set the price at a floating price of 10 to 20 Wen/jin.
Zhou Lijie said naturally: "Nephew Liu Xian, what do you think of ten cents per catty?"
"You damn thing, you want to make money after asking me for help!" Liu Mo cursed secretly. "It's you who is shameless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
So he cleared his throat and said, "Uncle Shi, what I have is 'refined salt'! As far as I know, the price of each kilogram of 'refined salt' is about fifty cents per kilogram."
"My nephew..." Zhou Lijie turned pale with fright after hearing this.
