Chapter 1552 just scared me to death
"How much snowflakes and salt does Zhao Xiaojia have? I can't even pile them in my warehouse!"
Since that afternoon, those salt merchants began to buy snowflake salt from those salt sellers, and they have been doing so continuously.
In order to grab more snowflake salt, some salt merchants directly choose to cooperate with those salt merchants who have salt leads. They pick a load from the salt shop, turn a corner, and are bought by these salt merchants.
In just a few steps, these salt traders can earn hundreds of coins, so why wouldn't they do it.
However, these salt merchants found that this method was not very cost-effective, so they asked their people to go to the salt shop to apply for waiters and buy salt directly from the salt shop. It only cost eight coins, saving two coins per catty and buying more.
, and naturally you can save a lot of money.
Fortunately, the salt shop has as many people as there are applicants for the job, and the salt merchants have also arranged for many of their own people to pick up the salt.
But it turned out that the salt sellers could only carry the salt to further places to sell it.
But in one afternoon, those salt dealers also made a lot of money. After seeing that they couldn't make the difference the next day, many salt dealers had no choice but to carry the salt and walk further. They could earn hundreds of coins from selling a load, so they were still very happy.
Happy to do it.
In this way, every day, people come and go at the door of the salt shop, picking out snowflake salt and picking it out from the salt shop in a steady stream.
Slowly, those salt merchants began to realize that something was wrong. The other party's salt shop was like a bottomless pit. A steady stream of salt flowed out of the salt shop every day, and the amount was also very large. However, their snowflake salt was like selling salt.
It’s not the same, and shows no signs of drying up.
The hardest thing is for salt merchants like me, who have to sell their property and land, and spend all their savings over the years, just to buy all the snowflake salt from others.
But in the end, all the money raised by the people like myself was used up. In the warehouse, all the snowflake salt was piled up, but there was no sign of the bottom of the salt.
All the salt merchants invested all the money they had prepared. The other party's salt shop had not sold out yet. They had no choice but to get together to discuss countermeasures.
"It's not an option to continue like this. I don't have any cash on hand right now, and I can't even pay my workers' wages. Where did Zhao Xiaojia get so much snowflake salt from?
Moreover, I had people keep an eye on the common people's salt shop every day, but I didn't find that a large amount of goods were transported to his salt shop.
Then it’s a small salt shop. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be able to store much salt!”
Snowflake salt is not ordinary salt. These salt merchants concluded that even if Zhao Xiaojia could get it, the quantity would definitely not be too much.
So while they were buying snowflake salt, they would have people keep an eye on other people's salt shops to see if any new products had arrived.
But their people kept watch all day and night until dawn. During these days, they found no sign of new goods arriving at the salt shop.
It's just that since no new goods have arrived, why the salt shop continues to sell goods every day, this makes many salt merchants wonder.
"What do the two shops next to the salt shop sell?"
At this time, Boss Wang suddenly thought of something and asked immediately.
Someone who noticed immediately said: "There are two grain shops around the salt shop, but the business of those two grain shops doesn't seem to be very good. After all, the people who go to the salt shop are all hawkers, who is going to buy food!"
"No, according to reports from my people, although the business of those two grain stores is not good, there have been frequent carriages pulling goods in recently. If it is grain, why haven't I seen them selling grain?!"
Suddenly, someone else remembered the details of the surrounding grain stores.
"So, the grain shop on this side of the salt shop actually belongs to that salt shop, and the grain they sell is fake. In fact, secretly, they may be helping the salt shop to sell snowflakes and salt?"
In the box, Mrs. Yan and others were still in the small room. Hearing the discussion of these salt merchants, Zhao Xiaojia immediately smiled and secretly thought that these salt merchants had only discovered it now, maybe it was too late.
"Zhao Xiaojia has achieved the position of left prime minister at a young age. He is indeed very cunning!
But I'm very puzzled, no matter how powerful Zhao Xiaojia is, where did he get so much snowflake salt?
To tell you the truth, when I went back that day, I also inquired about various snowflake salt dealers. These salt dealers told me that the larger snowflake salt factories in the southern country have not sold salt to Jiangnan recently. Their salt is only sold to the royal family.
and various adults' mansions.
And the price is definitely not ten cents per pound.
Even in the northwest, I asked people to find out that there is no large-scale snowflake salt production in the northwest!"
It has to be said that these salt merchants are still very capable, and they can get information about the entire southern country.
"The problem now is that he, Zhao Xiaojia, does have a steady stream of snowflake salt for sale. It may be that he, Zhao Xiaojia, has a supply channel that we don't know about, and this channel is very huge.
If Zhao Xiaojia continues to sell like this, we people may really lose everything!"
After saying that, everyone had a look of deep worry on their faces.
"Everyone, is there any way to stop people from selling salt?"
Boss Wang did not explicitly say to stop Zhao Xiaojia, but said to stop Baixing Salt Shop, because if Baixing Salt Shop continues to sell like this, they really can't survive.
"Everyone, now that I have said it all, I will go all out. Since Zhao Xiaojia has made it impossible for us to survive, then don't blame us for being cruel!"
The speaker gritted his teeth and had a ruthless look on his face, as if he had made some kind of determination.
When the lady in the house heard this, she looked at Zhao Xiaojia with a worried expression. Even Lihua clenched the Qingfeng Sword in her hand a little tighter.
"Boss Song, what do you want to do? Assassinating the imperial envoy is a heinous crime. Let alone you. It is estimated that none of our group will be able to escape by then. Even the big men in Jiangnan may not be able to bear this crime.
, you should be more sensible!"
Boss Song's words shocked everyone. They all thought that Boss Song was planning to attack Zhao Xiaojia. After all, Zhao Xiaojia was also an imperial envoy, and he was also the left prime minister. If he was assassinated like this, things would really change in Jiangnan.
.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Boss Song smiled sheepishly and said, "Where are you guys thinking? I don't have the guts to assassinate the Imperial Envoy.
What I mean is that we can’t watch the common people’s salt shops continue to sell salt, otherwise we all have to drink from the northwest wind.
Can you think of a way to stop common people from selling salt in salt shops?
Or, in other words, can there be a way to block the replenishment of goods in common people's salt shops?"
Seeing that Boss Song did not attack Zhao Xiaojia directly, these salt merchants breathed a sigh of relief.
In the small room at the back, Zhao Xiaojia also breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said to himself: "I was scared to death just now..."
