Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 151 Prelude to Great Changes in the World

"63 yuan! 63 yuan!" Cui Min kept pacing in the room, muttering.

Today, the Cui family’s private salt production still uses the method of boiling sea salt, not to mention the low output, and the additional cost of firewood.

Qin Guo currently sells official salt for 63 yuan. If they sell it at this price, not only will they not earn a penny, but they will have to pay back.

The idea of ​​fighting a price war was only fleeting in Cui Jing's mind. Just kidding, it's okay to bully foreign salt merchants in a price war, and the opponent is Qin.

The state of Qin has a great cause, and I am afraid that if the Cui family is wiped out, the state of Qin will not lose a hair.

"Well... I'll send someone to contact the Lu family and the Gao family to find out whether the price of official salt in our area is low, or whether it has all been lowered.

As for the current official salt, go buy it, buy as much as you sell, and try to delay the spread of the news of the official salt price reduction. "

"Qin's price is based on taxes. Selling for 63 yuan, the cost must be lower. The cost is so low that either a large salt mine has been discovered, or there is a new way to make salt." Cui Min paced around the house, forcing him to let him go. Calm down and analyze yourself.

And Qin Guo, playing hard is to specify that it won't work.

Not to mention the Cui family, even the entire Qi State's nobles with names and surnames may not be enough to fight the Qin State. They really have the ability to turn the table.

"Father, the Qin State has recently recruited corvees in Langya and Handan, and sent them to Yantian. Could it be related to the price reduction of official salt?" Cui Jing asked.

"In this way, send someone to find a way to find out and see if Qin has any new salt-making methods." Cui Min said with a frown.

The Cui family has long heard about Qin’s extensive collection of corvee in the coastal areas and it happened in Yantian. After all, the Cui family is the land tiger here. It’s just that Qin’s collection of corvee has become the norm. When did it not happen?So everyone didn't take it to heart.

But now it seems that there must be something strange.

"If it's a new salt-making method...then the foundation of the Cui family won't be broken." Cui Min sighed.

"A maidservant!" Cui Min cursed again.

"Father, don't worry, if there is only a new salt-making method, no matter how strict the Qin State is, it will take a year or so at most before we can get the news." Cui Jing comforted.

This is true, the Cui family is the top tycoon in the Qi country, there are people from all over, and the salt production cannot avoid a large number of corvees, it cannot be airtight, after all, the Cui family is the land tiger here.

"Besides, even if you lose the salt-making business, the family has accumulated a lot of wealth, and there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land..."

"Just lowering the price of official salt can't hold us back."

Although private salt has always been the main source of income for the Cui family, as a top aristocrat, how could the Cui family's source of income be so single?

After so many years of accumulation, their land property is calculated on the basis of hectares, and their shops and commodities are all over the Langya area. They have almost mastered all the commodities dumped in this generation. The combined number of people exceeds tens of thousands.

The population covered by the Cui family's fame is as high as several 10.

The Cui family is a top noble family that has existed since the establishment of the Qi State. Although the Tian family suffered heavy losses when they replaced Qi, they still stand today and cannot be underestimated.

Aristocrats related to the Cui family spread all over Qi and even the world. The Cui family's political connections even reached Jiuqing. In the Langya area, a large number of officials were from the Cui family.

Cui's family supported hundreds of dead men and followers, not to mention those who had left Cui's house.

They went down to the place, up to the government office...

Even if the private salt business is gone, they can still live well, not to mention that the state of Qin cannot prevent the Cui family from stealing secrets.

"The State of Qin belongs to Zhao Zheng, but Langya belongs to the Cui family!"

……

And the boundary of the East China Sea on the other side...

Inside Cang Haijun's mansion.

Cang Haijun and Zhang Liang sat opposite each other.

"Ovary, this is the fairy seed that is said to yield as much as a thousand catties per mu in the Qin Kingdom."

Cang Haijun smiled and took out three things.

"This is corn. It is said that the yield per mu is more than 900 catties. This is sweet potato. The yield per mu is as high as six thousand catties. This is potato, and the yield per mu is as high as two to three thousand catties." Mr. Cang Hai smiled.

"Yingzheng really had great luck. The filthy people gather overseas, and I have never seen such a strange thing. I have to help them buy food, farming tools, salt and weapons. Yingzheng just sent Xu Fu to the sea. To be able to get this immortal food..." Mr. Canghai said with emotion in his tone.

"Who would have thought that Xu Fu was stranded in Fusang, but another Zhao Si came back with the boat, and it was fine, but he brought back this kind of immortal food."

Zhang Liang nodded expressionlessly, looking at the bumpy three kinds of new food in front of him.

To be honest, except for the slightly better appearance of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes are not so good, and they have nothing to do with fairy food at all.

"How many grains Canghai Jun got?" Zhang Liang asked after putting corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in his hand to play with.

"Thirty percent...I can only get thirty percent of the grain seeds sent from the East China Sea." Cang Haijun sighed.

"After all, this is a grain seed with a yield of several thousand catties per mu. Every family is scrambling to get it, and each family has connections. It's hard to tell too much. I tried my best to buy it, and I only got more than 200 catties of seeds."

Zhang Liang nodded...

He didn't doubt that the nobles were jealous of the immortals.

Aristocrats are the masters who want to take advantage of the advantages.

The production of three kinds of fairy grains in the Qin State caused a sensation in the world, and the court made a plan to promote the area, and the nobles of all families couldn't wait.

Where a batch of grain seeds are distributed, the first to get the fairy grain grain seeds is definitely not Qianshou.

The remaining [-]% of the seeds will be distributed to Guishou after the nobles of each family have given priority to the distribution.

Aristocrats are also people...

Who is this fairy food for and not for?
Isn't it considered a promotion if it is promoted to the nobles?Aristocrats pay taxes!

The government's performance indicators are only to promote immortal grains, and there is no clear stipulation that Qianshou must be planted. Besides, the grains allocated by the counties and counties are only a few thousand catties, which is not enough even if they are distributed.

"The price of salt has dropped." Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and then raised his head to look at Mr. Canghai.

"Now the price of salt in the East China Sea is only 86 yuan, which is lower than the price of private salt. Lord Canghai can buy more official salt and sell it to filthy people. As for these grains, let's give them away for nothing." Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said.

"These two hundred catties of grain seeds took a lot of effort..." Mr. Cang Hai was taken aback when he heard this.

His country has been destroyed. Although Lord Canghai was born as a filthy person, as he spent more and more days in the Central Plains, he was gradually accepted by the nobles of the Central Plains, and even got mixed up with the name of Lord Canghai. He regards himself as a filthy person, and regards the filthy person who migrated overseas as a tool for his own profit, and a stepping stone to integrate into the aristocratic circle of the Central Plains.

The so-called restoration of the country and the so-called great enmity are becoming more and more distant in Cang Haijun's heart, but it is political correctness in the aristocratic circle to oppose Qin and scold Qin.

To be honest, there were only more than 1 filthy people in Cang Haijun's previous country, living in poverty, and they could only live by fishing and hunting. You are also struggling to survive.

Now it is getting more and more prosperous, and has been accepted by the nobles of the Central Plains, and Lord Canghai can open up the communication channel with overseas filthy people.

The current Canghai Lord is no longer the Canghai Lord who was determined to restore the country.

"Mr. Canghai has many virtuous names among the filthy people. Lord Canghai relies on the filthy people from overseas to gain a foothold in the country. Salt, iron, grain, farming tools and sales are business, and grain seeds are the lifeblood." Zhang Liang looked deeply. He glanced at Mr. Canghai.

"Mr. Canghai, you are the leader of Lord Canghai. You used to be, and you are still now. In the past, no one wanted to bypass Mr. Canghai to trade with Mr. Canghai. The price is probably cheaper than Mr. Canghai. Why does Mr. Canghai only recognize you as Mr. Canghai?" Zhang Liang spoke seriously.

Cang Haijun heard the words, fell silent for a while and said, "Sure, I'll listen to Zifang."

Zhang Liang nodded and pondered for a moment, then continued: "Recently, try to find ways to buy more weapons and armor..."

"Weapons and armor are not easy to get, and the price is not affordable for filthy people. You know that filthy people are poor. Even if I can get a lot of weapons and armor, they still can't afford them." Cang Haijun frowned.

"Why does Zifang have such a suggestion?"

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, raised his head and said, "Let's plan ahead..."

"The price of official salt in the state of Qin suddenly fell lower than that of private salt. Three kinds of new grains with an yield of up to [-] jin per mu were distributed to the localities, but the tax did not mean to increase... I always feel that the state of Qin may have other actions."

"Qin's domestic troubles are not only due to the nobles, but also to the anger of the people. The corvee continues, the tax is twenty times that of the ancients, the laws are complicated, the misdemeanors are severely punished, the people are weak, and the people's wealth is exhausted. But now they have suddenly changed their temper... No Qianshou has been operated on..."

"But will Qin Congress put down the knife? Lord Canghai?"

"If this knife is not aimed at Qianshou, who will it be aimed at?"

Lord Canghai was shocked when he heard the words. He had always believed in Zhang Liang's judgment, and what Zhang Liang said was obvious enough.

The state of Qin suddenly changed its temper and gave the small people a chance of life. Even those with a mu yield of several thousand catties of grain did not take the opportunity to raise taxes to squeeze the heads of Guizhou.

With the temperament of the tiger and wolf Qin, if this knife falls on Qianshou, it will fall elsewhere.

Now that there is no foreign invasion in Qin State, then this knife...

"I see! During this time, I will try my best to buy more armor and weapons." Cang Haijun nodded seriously.

"If there are disputes among overseas filthy people, Lord Canghai will also bother to mediate. Now that he has new food, Lord Canghai will try his best to send as many people as possible to let them learn to farm and help them... let them learn to farm and learn etiquette instead of daily life. There are constant disputes between Japan and Japan. Now that the Qin Kingdom has destroyed the six kingdoms, and issued a new order to bring troops to the head of Guizhou, there are filth among the nobles...the only one who has the opportunity to command millions of people in the world is Lord Canghai." Zhang Liang said seriously .

Lord Canghai has been trying his best to penetrate into the circle of nobles in the Central Plains, Zhang Liang sees it clearly, and Zhang Liang is too clear about the old noble virtues of the Six Kingdoms.

But now...it's not like before!
Lord Canghai nodded seriously when he heard the words, and walked out of the room after discussing for a long time.

Only Zhang Liang was left, and he closed the bamboo slips heavily and let out a long sigh.

"The thing I was most worried about happened..."
