Another day, the turmoil about changing the sediments for table salt became more and more uproar, and even started talking to the salt merchants. For example, Wu Minzhi couldn’t sit still and asked for someone to buy salt. , In order to transfer this charge to others as soon as possible.
The same name has sent people to urge two or three times, but other salt merchants have already heard the news. At this time, I can’t wait for Wu Minzhi and others to fall off their horses. Naturally they refuse to help, even if they are willing to sell salt. For them, the price is ridiculously high.
Wu Minzhi hatefully threw the tea cup in his hand: "These traitorous villains, when I pass this crisis safely, I will definitely let them **** methods."
The other salt merchants sat aside silently: "Even if we are going to settle accounts, we have to wait for us to get through this crisis..." And this time, most of them couldn't make it through.
Just when everyone was almost desperate, there was another news from the person who had previously sent a letter saying that there was salt in his hand.
Looking at the letter sent by the next person, the salt merchants were very excited: "Leader Wu, take a look, is the other party willing to sell us salt?"
Wu Minzhi quickly opened the letter, and the content in the envelope was also concise: "Fifteen million taels of silver!"
"What? What does this mean?"
"The other party offered fifteen million taels of silver? This is no longer the lion's big mouth. This is to clean up our family!"
Wu Minzhi's face was gloomy, and the corners of his eyes kept beating as he looked at the content of the letter: "Don't you think this letter is weird?"
"Strange?"
"The other party only offered fifteen million taels of silver, but did not say how much salt to sell to us, and the timing of the two transmissions was too coincidental. Didn't you think of anything?"
All the salt merchants here are not stupid. Hearing Wu Minzhi's words, his face turned hard after thinking about it: "Leader Wu, you mean that the person who sent us the letter now robbed us. People in the salt boat?"
Wu Minzhi nodded: "Extremely promising!"
In the lobby, as if water droplets splashed into the hot oil pan, it suddenly exploded into a ball: "This is really the case. The person who robbed our salt boat clearly wanted to pay 50% higher than the market price. Let us buy our own things back!"
"That batch of salt originally belonged to us, but he was robbed of it by him, and he wanted us to buy the salt again at such a high price. Didn't this deliberately squeeze us?"
"Really hateful!"
"Leader Wu, do you have a way to deal with it?"
Wu Minzhi closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "Even if you and I know that this person is deliberately squeezing us, but looking at it right now, there is really no other way but to recognize the plant." The salt merchant was flushed with anger. We gradually calmed down: Yes, even if we know that the other party did this deliberately, is there a way to resist it? If you don’t buy this batch of salt, according to the current spread of rumors, it won’t take long for the royal historians to take part in this matter before the emperor.
The emperor will be furious after hearing this, and will send someone down to investigate at that time, I'm afraid they will not be able to keep their heads!
"Leader Wu, according to your opinion, we just recognized it like this?"
"What else can I do if I don't recognize it?" "The problem now is that we don't have so much silver in our hands!" Their salt merchants are rich, but there is a limit to money. The previous hole in the salt tax was too big. They filled a part first, and then the ones that could not be filled, then they used the name of buying official salt to redeem them, and then they went through up and down one after another
The joints spent a lot of money, giving the same name more than ten million taels of silver. Right now, there is not much left in the hands. Where is there to be able to make up 15 million taels? Wu Minzhi was silent for a moment, and then decided: "After the current crisis, we still have a chance to make a comeback. If we can't get through it, our lives will go in. Which one is more important, you can weigh it yourself? According to our previous discussion, we have discussed it. Yes, the Wu family, Wei family, and Cao family each account for 20%, and the rest
You guys think of ways to make up. I would like to advise you, don’t look at things outside of your body at this time, what should be sold out, and what should be discounted, let’s work together to get through the current crisis. "
The other salt merchants nodded and recognized it. Even if they did not recognize it at this time, what could be done?
When the others left, Wei Qi, the head of the Wei family, and Cao Bing, the head of the Cao family, stayed behind. Some words were inconvenient to say before. At this time, only the three of them are left without scruples.
"Leader Wu, have you already seen the problem clearly?"
Wu Minzhi clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the table: "How can I not see clearly! All this is clearly the same name, or the prince is manipulating it!" Cao Cao Bing said: " Alas, such a method is really frightening! First, we sent the same name into our salt merchants, took the opportunity to spy on the news, and then robbed our salt boats on the Xijiang River according to the news, and then deliberately used this news to intimidate us, let We didn’t think about it in a panic
Clearly, he directly agreed to his previous proposal to fill up the salt tax, and then made a noise today...This step by step is interlocking, and it is clear that we want to squeeze all the oil and water out of us! "
Wei Qi's expression is heavy: "The point is that even if we know that this is a trap set by the prince, we can only go inside in a muffled voice and have no ability to resist!"
Wu Minzhi sighed: "One step is careless, and we lose all the games. We are also to blame for being too careless. If we used silver to fill the hole in the salt tax, we wouldn’t have trouble afterwards. "Wei Qi shook her head: "Leader Wu needn't be too upset. It is said that we have a huge influence in the south of the Yangtze River, but wanting to fight against a figure like the prince is tantamount to shaking the tree! Right now I am worried about the prince general. After we squeeze it out, we will get rid of us directly, and then re-cultivation of salt
Shang, control the salt administration of Jiangnan, in this way, maybe Jiangnan will really become the big prince's bag! "
"We must not sit and wait. The eldest prince wants to eat all of us, and we must also be prepared to die!" Wu Minzhi nodded: "The two dear brothers are reasonable, and Li Yuan sent it to us. I have kept both the post and the letter I promised before. We salt merchants joined hands to write down the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and we put our fingerprints on each, and attached proofs such as each family's account book and an invitation with seals. Then I sent these things to Kyoto overnight. If the prince is merciful, it's nothing more than trying to make money. If he is cruel and wants to kill us and re-cultivation of power, then we will come to a dead fish and destroy the evidence in one fell swoop. In front of the emperor, never let him feel better!"
