In the courtyard by the Qinhuai River.
Zhu Huai made another thousand pounds of fine salt and continued to pull the ox cart to the salt transportation company.
Now that he had the remaining silver in his hands, he naturally would not personally make salt.
After selling the salt today, he planned to go to the market to buy some lowly refugees to help with the production.
These refugees had no household registration and could only rely on their owners. However, once they joined their owners, their lives could be dealt with at will by their owners.
This was also the reason why Zhu Huai was unwilling to submit to the Dong Family Head.
No one was more reliable than these refugees, so Zhu Huai was not afraid of his technology being leaked.
Zhu Huai came out of the transport company with nearly four hundred taels of silver in his hands.
However, he had just left.
An official dressed in crimson found the transport officer and whispered a few words into his ear. The transport officer's eyes widened and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Huai's back.
To actually be personally named by the Emperor to do business, this kid was really lucky!
He didn't dare to delay and hurriedly chased after Zhu Huai.
……
Zhu Huai came to the vicinity of Scholarflower Alley. This was a refugee market, and many refugees had gathered there.
He was about to ask about the identity of the refugees when he met Huang Zicheng, who had just finished his lecture.
"Greetings, Lord Huang." Zhu Huai bowed respectfully.”
Huang Zicheng snorted and pretended not to see it, preparing to leave.
He was a scholar-bureaucrat, the 18th year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yunwen's teacher. When Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he would be the emperor's teacher!
Naturally, he was ashamed to associate himself with this lowly merchant.
Zhu Huai smiled, looking for trouble.
It was also at this moment that the people from the transport commissioner rushed over and stopped in front of Zhu Huai.
Corey couldn't help but feel curious.
Why did the transport commissioner's people look for this cheap merchant?
He stayed and watched from afar.
"Hello, Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Huai was still polite. After transmigrating to this world, he was unwilling to provoke anyone. As long as the other party did not cross his bottom line, he would not become enemies with anyone.
"Hello, Lord Zhang." Zhu Huai returned the greeting." What's the matter?"
The Transport Division's General Zhang Youbing did not stand on ceremony and went straight to the point."Mr. Zhu, our transport company wants to buy your salt mountain.”
Since it was the government, they had their own hands and eyes. They had long investigated the method Zhu Huai used to make salt.
Corey was stunned.
He widened his eyes in disbelief. Had the people from the transport company gone crazy? What was there to buy in that barren mountain?
Official Zhang was constantly paying attention to Zhu Huai's expression.
He was an official of the Ming Dynasty, so his heart was naturally clear.
Seeing Zhu Huai's indifferent expression, Zhang Du Shi said,"Young Langjun, I am a little straightforward. If you have something to say, just say it. 50,000 taels of silver, we want to buy Zhu Langjun's salt mountain.”
Of course, 50,000 taels of silver was not only for the mountain, but also for the craft of smelting salt. If the other party did not say it, Zhu Huai would not point it out.
Fifty thousand taels of silver?
Huang Zicheng's expression instantly froze. The smile on his face that he had been prepared to see a joke was now fading bit by bit. He felt a little dazed.
What was going on? What was going on? Did he hear wrongly? Or were the people from the transport company crazy?
In that instant, Huang Zicheng felt as if a heavy hammer had smashed into his heart.
Didn't he sell the salt mountain to this guy for eighty taels?
Zhu Huai smiled politely and shook his head."Not for sale."
This mountain of salt was a mountain of gold. 50,000 taels of silver might seem like a lot, but Zhu Huai knew that how could this mountain of salt be worth so little money?
He needed money, but he was not greedy for short-term profits.
Minister Zhang frowned. It was said that merchants drove profits. Now he finally knew why the emperor did not like these merchants.
"Seventy thousand!" Zhang Dushi said after taking a deep breath.”
Although the country was short of money, Zhu Yuanzhang was very generous about this matter because it was a matter of benefiting the people. He was willing to spend this bit of money!
70,000…70,000…
So much money?
Just to buy that piece of land in Salt Mountain?
Huang Zicheng's legs went limp. He wanted to say something to the transport company, but he realized that his throat was blocked and he couldn't make a sound. His face turned red.
This was an illusion. It had to be an illusion.
The people from the transport company were not fools! He was definitely not a fool!
Zhu Huai shook his head again.”
Not for sale!
Huang Zicheng, who was standing in the distance, felt like he was going to pee. He suddenly remembered that this salt mountain seemed to belong to him. Wasn't this a gift from Old Master Zhu?
Did he spend eighty taels to sell it to this kid?
At that time, he even felt that he had made a killing!
But now…his heart ached!
70,000 taels was the bottom line of the transport company. Although the old man said that he would buy anything, the officials of the transport company were not fools. They had no right to continue raising the price. Since the other party was not selling, they could not force them to buy or sell.
This was the Ying Tian Prefecture. It was impossible for officials to bully the people!
Hence, the people from the transport company smiled embarrassedly."Let's talk again when we have time."
Obviously, they did not give up, so they turned around and left.
Zhu Huai shook his head helplessly.
Just as she turned around, she saw a dazed Huang Zicheng standing not far away and staring at her. He was as lifeless as a fossil.
"Lord Huang, I'll take my leave first." Zhu Huai cupped his hands.”
Huang Zicheng's face twitched, and his mouth twitched slightly. His expression was a little ugly." Oh."”
"Yes."
Zhu Huai nodded and left.
Hot tears rolled down from the corners of Huang Zicheng's eyes and fell on the summer ground. They were quickly melted by the scorching sun. Then, these tears could not be held back and fell like broken beads.
He was a scholar and a great scholar, but…he was also short of money!
He also wanted her to live a better life!
He was a scholar of the Imperial Academy, a clean and honest person. He could not be corrupted. He only had a little over twenty taels of silver a year, and his house in the Ying Tian Manor was rented!
In order to match his status, he deliberately gritted his teeth and rented a house in Huaihua Lane, where the nobles gathered!
He suddenly felt like he had been tricked. He suddenly felt like an idiot.
He still remembered that before this kid even opened his mouth to offer a price, he had already said 80 taels to this kid.
And now, the people from the transport company had actually offered nearly a thousand times the price to buy back the salt mountain…
Pa!
Corey gave himself a tight slap." Corey, you're such an idiot!”
