Silver Overlord

Yan Liqiang lived in a modern society. In modern society, if one of the most important materials is to be selected, it is oil. Oil is the blood of modern economy, the source of wealth, and the foundation of industry. Without oil, the entire society will be shut down. On the earth of Yan Liqiang's previous life, the most powerful giant families and secret groups, the most powerful countries. And the fate of the economy are closely related to oil. Oil generates tremendous wealth, and it also generates countless wars and joys and sorrows. Oil is the battlefield of great powers. At that time, Kissinger, the "old friend" of the Chinese people, also said Famous Quote-Whoever controls oil controls all nations.

In the world where Yan Liqiang lives now, on the silver continent, if there is anything that can be as important as the oil of his previous life, there is no doubt that that thing is salt. Therefore, the expression of the importance related to oil can be put on salt. It is no exaggeration. The importance of salt, to some extent, even exceeds that of oil, because a person can survive without oil, but a People ca n’t live without salt. Salt is the absolute protagonist of this world trade. It is the largest trade commodity. The stories surrounding the occurrence of salt and the stories surrounding the occurrence of oil are almost the same. Countless The rise and fall of the giants, and the wars between countless countries and tribes, were almost all related to salt.

In this world, where salt can be produced, it is the same as where oil was produced in the previous life. As long as there is salt, countless wealth will swarm. In this world, just in the Han Dynasty, the wealthiest and most powerful family giants have an inseparable relationship with salt, and salt tax is the pillar of the Han Dynasty's fiscal revenue.

In a world where force is paramount, the Han Empire did not have a monopoly policy on salt industry by the government. The salt trade was open to everyone. To control the salt trade, the huge financial funds required by the Empire were obtained from the salt trade. Empire has invented a very clever way of management, and that is to issue salt tickets.

The salt ticket has three functions, one is market access, the other is the tax receipt, and the third is the nature of an invoice.

For all people who produce salt, if you have a capacity of 10,000 kilograms of salt a year, you must buy 10,000 kilograms of salt tickets from the official so that your salt can legally enter the market. From the production stage of salt, the salt tickets begin. Entering it, it bears the role of tax collection and market access vouchers. When people buy salt, such as buying a pound of salt, they can ask the salt merchant for a pound of salt, and then the people can hold the salt. The "salt ticket" went to the relevant salt administration management door of the local government to "rebate taxes". Eventually, the salt ticket returned to the court.

According to the different quality of salt, salt tickets are divided into four types: first, middle, inferior, and inferior. For different grades and qualities of salt, you need to buy different grades and qualities of salt tickets. Under normal circumstances, a pound of salt tickets The value of the salt accounts for almost 50% of the price of a pound of salt in the market, but even so, the salt industry is still a profiteering industry, because the price of salt and the cost are conservatively estimated to be 20-30 times Even if the official takes half of the profit, leaving the seller with at least ten times more profit.

If the salt merchant can't give the salt ticket when people buy salt, the salt bought is private salt. The Han Dynasty's crackdown on private salt is very firm and severe. If an ordinary people buy a pound of private salt without a salt ticket, As long as you take the salt to report the accusation, once it is verified, you will immediately "reward the gold for two thousand" and get rich instantly, and the person who sells private salt is a felony of beheading.

Under such a complete control system, although private salt exists, it is only a minority and has not spread.

Yan Liqiang hadn't focused his eyes on something like salt, because money wasn't his pursuit, but on the way back to Ganzhou, Yan Liqiang repeatedly asked himself how he could gather around him in the shortest time. When he was supporting a huge force, he saw the caravan of salt merchants on the road, who had a lot of money, and he suddenly remembered the private salt dealer Zhang Shicheng and other people he saw in his last life and Zhu Yuanzhang's history of dominating the world. The unconscious thing suddenly came to his mind and completely activated his thinking.

In his last life, Yan Liqiang was curious about the fact that several people who sell private salt can also control history, and he can compete with the troubled world like Zhu Yuanzhang, so he also bought a few related books to see and read those books. Yan Liqiang was suddenly surprised It turned out that salt had such a great role in ancient times. According to legend, the war between Huangdi and Yandi broke out because the two sides competed for the solution pond, which was the place where salt was produced, because Huangdi eventually controlled the salt in the pond. Become the overlord of various tribes at that time, and before Zhang Shicheng, nearly destroyed the Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi of the Tang Dynasty, were also private salt dealers, and the mixed-world demon king such as Cheng Biaojin was also a private salt dealer. And influenced the historical trends of several important dynasties in ancient China.

Ganzhou also produces salt. Soil salt is a kind of brine salt. Limited to this era, the level of brine processing technology is generally not high. The quality of soil salt produced in Ganzhou is generally not high, and it can not be sold at high prices. Compared to the quality of green salt, pond salt is inferior.

Fortunately, in the books Yan Liqiang read in his last life, there is an introduction to the processing technology of the salt industry. With the knowledge in his head, Yan Liqiang spent only one night in his own room in the Manufacturing Bureau. I prepared a few simple tool materials and utensils, and it was easy for the low-quality earth salt produced by Ganzhou to make a gorgeous turn and turn into white fine salt.

The salt industry is too profitable and involves too much. With this, the four-wheeled carriage is just a small business that can make money. To get involved in the salt industry, Yan Liqiang still lacks a little strength and local influence. If time permits, several After the year, he may be able to step into the period completely with his own ability, without fear of anyone, but time does not wait for others. What Yan Liqiang needs most now is time, so it is a good idea to find a strong partner and backer in Ganzhou. Shortcuts, and naturally no one in Ganzhou is more suitable than Rieston.

Lei Sitong is not only the history of Ganzhou assassination, but Sun Bingchen also had a very high evaluation of him. Whether it is ability or character, Yan Liqiang can find the most suitable person now. Yan Liqiang naturally wants to draw Lei Sitong to his own. Chariot.

In the matter of making big money, the two sides hit it off.

The production of soil salt in Ganzhou is very loose and not on a large scale. The forces that control those salt fields include local tyrants and forces outside Ganzhou. The situation is a bit complicated. It is in Yuntao County, Pingxi County. There are several small-scale brine brine mines, but those brine brine mines all have owners. Yan Liqiang and Riesi initially discussed the cooperation intention.

The first step of this cooperation is that Riesz will be responsible for fixing the salt mines in Yuntao County, whether they are existing or newly discovered, and then Yan Liqiang will take over the production with manpower funds and equipment. The sales of Yanchang provided some convenience and help. Yan Liqiang was responsible for the sales. In the end, the profits were divided equally between the two parties ...

Solving the salt mines in Yuntao County can't be achieved in three or two days. There are many joints behind UU reading book www.uukanshu.com. Even Raisong ca n’t really carry them like bandits. Bing Ma snatched the salt fields in Yuntao County and handed them over to Yan Liqiang. As a state of thorns, there are rules to do things. You ca n’t mess around. Even if it takes the first half of the year and one year to complete the preparations, it is normal for both parties to agree on their preliminary cooperation intentions. After seeing the night is over, Yan Liqiang will leave, and Lei Sitong will work in Pingxi County. With the attention of officials and squires, Yan Liqiang was enthusiastically delivered to the gate of the garden ...

"Uncle Lei, please stay away, no need to send ..." After some discussion, Yan Liqiang also called Uncle Lei even more pleasantly.

"Li Qiang will have something in the future, and it will be the same to directly find Jianbei and Yucheng. Whoever dares to bother you is the trouble of finding me Riztong, and who wants to make you unhappy, which is to make me unhappy. Riesong ’s trowel is prepared for these people ... ”Riesong pointed at the new county guard and warlord in Pingxi County with a smile, and said the words of domineering in the same way as usual, and then The content in it made countless people around the heart beat faster.

"Okay, I know. I'm afraid I will bother Uncle Lei and the two adults ..."
