"Multiple actions."
Zhu Di's heart has already been overwhelmed, and it is indeed easier and more profitable for the people to sell private salt and the court to extract profits than to monopolize the salt market by making salt and selling salt by the Yantie Division.
This kid can see through the market at a glance. He not only accurately judges the development trend of the market, but also has such a deep insight into the current environment.
This insight, this business acumen, even Zhu Di is ashamed of himself.
"That's right, it works."
This is not over yet, Yang Shiqi continued.
"And once the private salt is opened, a large number of miners will inevitably flood in. Such a large amount of fine salt will appear on the market. If there is a large amount, the price will soon drop. Once the price of private salt drops, the huge profit from selling salt will be huge. disappear."
"When smuggling salt loses huge profits, no one will take the risk of ransacking the family and exterminating the family to smuggle it, because the value is not worth smuggling at all. In this way, the imperial court will not even have to crack down on smuggling salt."
"And after the price comes down, ordinary people can afford fine salt.
"Isn't it a good deed to benefit all people?"
The more Zhu Di listened, the more excited he became.
Ordinary people can also afford fine salt? !
What a deceptive thing is this?
On the other hand, the dynasties and dynasties are as powerful as the Qin Dynasty and as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty. It is a matter of heaven and night to make every common people eat fine salt.
Now, it has actually been realized in the Ming Dynasty.
It was realized in the hands of Zhu Di, which is a great achievement that can be recorded in the annals of history and will last forever.
Zhu Di was so excited that he couldn't stop shaking.
Lu Lin, do you know that you inadvertently did a great thing to benefit the common people.
The descendants of the Zhu family, and even the people of Ming Dynasty, should be grateful for your kindness.
Thinking that from now on, all the people in the Ming Dynasty would be able to eat fine salt, the three of them were so excited that they couldn't restrain themselves.
But they never thought that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Greater benefits are yet to come.
Because a large amount of mining requires a lot of manpower and material resources, in addition to farming, the common people will gradually start another way of making money - selling labor.
When people have money, they will buy other commodities, thereby stimulating domestic demand. In this way, the economy of the entire Ming Dynasty will be stimulated.
The Ming Dynasty will gradually move from an agricultural society to a capitalist society. Only in this way can the country be truly prosperous and the people strong.
……
In a few days, the imperial court announced the opening of private salt to the world.
Xu Guogong was very angry when he heard that he had to buy a permit to sell salt, but he had the final say, and he could make a lot of money in the end.
It's much better than guarding a broken salt mine and being useless.
I didn't care about it, and I was the first to apply for the quasi-sale certificate.
And it's a thousand catties.
But the confidant felt that he had suffered a great loss.
"My lord, do we really need to apply for a license to sell?"
Xu Jingchang kicked him.
"You know what, if you don't do it now, when more and more people mine private salt in the future, the salt will be worthless."
He had to take the opportunity to make a fortune before everyone caught up.
The confidant was still not convinced, so he pointed the finger at Lu Lin.
"This Lu Xianzi is too deceitful. He clearly promised you to cooperate in the mining of salt mines, but turned around and sold the salt-making technology to the imperial court. Isn't this two families?"
"He got [-]% from the Duke on one side, and [-]% from the court on the other. He made a lot of money, but we still have to spend money to sell a permit from the court, Duke Guo Lord, we are at a loss."
Xu Jingchang didn't know that he was losing money.
Not only does he need to share [-]% of his salt mountain with Lu Lin, but he also needs to share [-]% with the imperial court. After this calculation, he only has [-]% in his hands.
He contributed money and efforts to get out of the mountain, but in the end, he earned less than half of Lu Lin's.
Looking at my leg...
Not only was he a big loser, but he was clearly played by Lu Lin.
Xu Jingchang gritted his teeth in hatred.
Lu Lin, you are waiting for my father-in-law, new and old, my father-in-law will settle with you sooner or later.
Chapter 54 Watching the Emperor's Land
With Xu Guogong taking the lead in applying for the sales permit, others followed suit.
Because they have no technology, they have to pay double the price to buy technology from the imperial court.
But after all, they can still make a lot of money, and they are naturally happy.
The policy of opening private salt has benefited everyone.
Lu Lin's name became popular again, and even the folks began to circulate about his heroic deeds.
In teahouses and restaurants, anecdotes about Lu Lin are the most favored by storytellers.
The storyteller spoke so miraculously that the common people listened with gusto.
Lu Lin seemed to be a mythical figure in Daming.
"It is said that when Lu Xianzi was born, colorful auspicious clouds enveloped the sky, and countless birds danced around his eaves. It is clearly auspicious from heaven."
"Really?"
A group of tea drinkers were discussing enthusiastically.
"Xianzi Lu is really a god descending from heaven."
"If you're not a god, how can you grow such a treasure as sweet potatoes?"
