"Today's benefit is actually salt. When it appeared last time, it was just a rare blind box. This time it is actually a high-quality snowflake salt, and a kind of salt production will appear randomly in each box. The number of products is 600,000 boxes. This It’s completely the era of salt production in Wan Dynasty.”
Salt?
And drawings?
Dynasties exploded!
There is something that from beginning to end, from top to bottom, whether officials, nobles, or merchants want to fight for it, it must be salt.
Salt is a thing that has been an indispensable thing on people's dining tables from ancient times to the present. It can even be said that those who get salt will win the world!
It is said that during the uprising, Zhu Yuanzhang received the first amount of funds from a private salt dealer, which enabled him to reserve grain and recruit troops. Zhu Yuanzhang's opponents Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and others even made their fortunes by selling private salt and quickly gained traction. A team formed.
The saying that those who win salt win the world is really not just talk!
Not only in ancient times, but also in modern times, there are terrible profits!
Throughout the dynasties, no matter whether they were emperors or nobles, they would never want to give up their control over salt. This thing was the best weapon for them to maintain their rule. This thing was the best weapon for them to protect their rights. .
Li Shimin sat up straight. He had just ascended the throne. Due to the Xuanwu Gate Incident, his status was unstable. In addition, the few aristocratic families controlled the government. This salt came at the right time. Apart from other things, Cui Shi could prepare it. Overturned.
“Who was the most profitable person in ancient times?”
“In ancient times, which tax produced the most revenue for the state treasury?”
"I think it's undoubtedly the salt merchants! Salt tax!"
"The first person to propose a monopoly on salt and iron was Guan Zhong. Guan Zhong's policy of "Guan Shan Hai" made Qi develop rapidly at that time and amass huge wealth. The reason why Duke Huan of Qi became the first of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period was because of his reliance on salt and iron , which laid the financial foundation for Qi State."
"Then the Han Dynasty set up a salt tax, and even set up salt officials specifically for salt. In the Tang Dynasty, although the salt tax was abolished, another major measure in the history of salt administration took place - monopolizing sales on the spot and establishing registration for those who made salt. , Chengshiohu."
"It sounds like a good thing. It is organized and scaled. But the key point is that private salt households make salt and then turn it all over to the government. They are not allowed to keep any of it. What is left is private salt."
"Furthermore, the salt tax has long been included in the price of salt."
"To be more precise, it is passed on to the people. The salt they make must be sold at a low price. They cannot keep it private at all. If they need salt, they have to buy it back at a high price."
"Under this inhumane exploitation of the people, the Tang Dynasty's salt tax revenue accounted for two-fifths of the overall revenue."
"And in the Song Dynasty, it became even more serious.
The salt tax during the Song Dynasty supported almost three-quarters of the entire country's tax revenue, so a new tool for making money was born - salt tax. "
"As the name suggests, Yanyin is just like Luyin. Only with Yanyin can you sell salt. Yanyin has become a new round of exploitation."
"Because salt is a consumable product that the human body must absorb, the government will also crack down severely on salt sellers from all over the country."
“Despite the blow, because the profits are so huge, there are still many desperate people who take risks.
And there are even more private salt dealers. "
"It is such a small thing, but it has been stuck in the throats of the common people from ancient times to the present. It has become the reason why those in power squeeze the common people in order to fight for power and gain luxury."
“What should the country do if it has no money? Add a salt tax!
What should local princes do if they have no funds? Tax on salt! What should I do if I don’t have money to compensate aliens? Transfer the salt tax! "
"So, just such a small grain of salt truly divides the class hierarchy between civilians and nobles. The control of salt will always be in the hands of the imperial nobles, while the common people will always be the one being squeezed. .”
Throughout history, why so many people were forced to rebel by the government, and one of them was excessive salt tax. It is not until today's modern times that the freedom of salt use by all people has been truly realized. The price of salt under the control of the state has truly made salt a staple food for every household. Edible condiments.
So when the product sold in Zhang Yanxi's live broadcast room is salt, you can imagine how much commotion it will cause. What's more, the salt box will also come with a random salt production method. So many dynasties, on The two salt-making recipes last time were not enough, but this time there were 600,000. Some dynasties could even collect all the salt-making recipes.
With the formula in place, the price of salt will be stabilized, and the proliferation of illegal salt and salt merchants' malicious price increases will be prevented. As long as the court regulates it, salt will surely become a condiment that every common person can afford.
The people are happy!
The emperors were excited!
The aristocratic families were panicking!
The salt merchants are angry!
"Everyone, I believe you know the importance of salt even if I don't tell you. It is not just a condiment on the table, it is an indispensable material component of our human body and plays an extremely important role in our health."
"It can regulate the balanced distribution of water in the human body, promote digestion and absorption, and enhance human immunity. If there is a lack of salt, people will suffer from muscle weakness, dizziness, headaches and other symptoms."
"But its role is not only to regulate human physical and mental health, but also has many wonderful effects in other aspects."
"For example, drinking a cup of light salt water in the morning can keep the intestines unobstructed. For example, adding a spoonful of salt to the shampoo can reduce hair loss. For example, taking a sip of light salt water can effectively relieve sore throat. If a woman catches a cold in the abdomen, it can be Stir-fry it with coarse salt, put it in a cloth bag, and apply heat to the lower abdomen to dispel cold and relieve pain, etc."
"In short, salt is a substance that can penetrate into all aspects of our lives, and the salt produced by our flower growers is snow salt developed through multiple processes. It has clear particles, white and delicate, just like snowflakes in winter, clean and pure!"
As Zhang Yanxi spoke, he took out the physical objects that appeared during the system lottery, cut open the whole box with scissors, took out one of the packages of snowflake salt, cut open the package, and poured it into a small light blue bowl. "
The fine white salt grains are crystal clear, making everyone watching the live broadcast red-eyed. The salt from this later generation of flower growers actually has no impurities at all, and it has not turned green or black. This is the real top-grade salt. .
"We have a total of 600,000 boxes of snowflake salt, each box contains thirty bags of salt. Let me reiterate, among these 600,000 boxes of salt boxes, the salt production methods of flower growers will randomly appear. Some salt production methods The method may not be suitable for that dynasty or a certain place.”
"1! 2! 3! Get in the car!"
Six hundred thousand boxes were sold out in seconds.
"Come here! Find out how many people got the salt immediately!"
