Zhu Yu was preparing to go home. She had already advised Lan Yu what she needed to advise and made plans.
Whether or not there would be any changes, he had no way of predicting.
As for the rest, let them be.
Now, he had been thinking about the Northern Suburbs Salt Mine. The sooner he got his hands on it, the better.
"If it doesn't work, I'll pay a visit to Huang Zicheng's residence tomorrow and sound him out.”
Zhu Yu made up his mind. He felt that he could not give up such a big piece of fat meat. He had to eat it before he could feel at ease.
Just as he reached the entrance of Lotus Flower Alley, he was stopped by an official who claimed to be from the Salt Commissioner Department.
Liu Quancai smiled and said," Zhu Langjun, I am Liu Quancai, the deputy envoy of the Salt Envoy Department. I heard that you want to buy a salt mountain?"”
"Greetings, Lord Liu."
Zhu Yu bowed and sighed in her heart. The officials of the early Ming Dynasty were too dutiful after being frightened by Emperor Hongwu. They even chased all the way to their homes to promote the salt mountain.
Zhu Yu was a little touched and shouted in her heart,"Emperor Hongwu is awesome!"
However, he had already made up his mind, so he refused apologetically,"Lord Liu, I'm really sorry. I'm really not interested in other salt mountains.”
"Oh?"
Hearing his words, Liu Quancai was delighted.
That's great. The more determined you are to buy the Northern Suburbs Salt Mountain, the happier I will be.
" Zhu Langjun, you misunderstood."
Liu Quancai cleared his throat and said slowly,"I heard from the yamen that you have your eyes on the salt mountain in the northern suburbs? Today, I came for the salt mountain in the northern suburbs.”
"What's wrong? Wasn't the salt mountain in the northern suburbs already given to Lord Huang Zicheng by the current emperor?”Zhu Yu asked in surprise.
Hearing Liu Quancai's words, it seemed like there was a turning point?
Zhu Yu could not help but perk up her ears and instantly perked up.
"That's right. Langjun's guess is right. There is indeed a turning point in this matter!”
"To tell you the truth, it's a pity that the salt mountain in the northern suburbs is abandoned, and Lord Huang doesn't have time to take care of it, so we have the intention to sell it.”
"Well, now you've entrusted me with full authority to deal with this matter."
Resell? Wasn't this what he needed!
F * ck!
Someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy?
Wonderful! That was great!
I just don't know how much money I need to pay.
"This is the contract."
As Liu Quancai spoke, he took out the contract that he had already prepared and said,"Look, there are many terms written on it. If you agree, you can sign it now.”
"Of course, you can't go back on your word after signing it. There are three copies of this contract. One for you, one for Lord Huang, and one for our Salt Envoy Office.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the small official behind him came forward with a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Zhu Yu took it and read through it. The terms were written in great detail. There were also some words that said they were cheating. However, he was confident that he could refine it, so he did not take it seriously.
When he saw the transaction price, he suddenly raised his head and said in surprise,"We need to provide Lord Huang with 100 catties of salt every month?!”
"What's wrong? Too much?"
Liu Quancai looked at him and seemed to have expected it. He smiled and said,"If you think it's too much, we can talk about it again! Lord Huang has already given me full authority over this matter.”
"Langjun, what do you think of 70 pounds?”he asked tentatively.
"What is it? Seventy Jin?"
Zhu Yu was shocked.
"70 catties is too much? Then 50 catties?"
Zhu Yu was speechless.
"Fifty kilograms for fifty one months?"
Zhu Yu was still shocked.
"Thirty pounds? What do you think?"
"F * ck, 30 pounds?"
Zhu Yu widened her eyes and finally couldn't help but curse.
Wasn't this too cheap?
According to the market price of Ming Dynasty, 30 catties of salt is only 10 taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver to buy such a large mountain of salt?
Damn it, was Lord Huang a fool?
However,
This was not the end.
At this moment, Liu Quancai saw Zhu Yu's expression and frowned."Why are you still not satisfied?"
He pondered for a moment and waved his hand.""Ten catties! I only need to provide Lord Huang with ten catties of salt a month!”
Seeing that Zhu Yu still did not speak, he gritted his teeth and said,"I can't go any lower, I can't go any lower!”
" Ten catties?!!!"
" Isn't this equivalent to giving it away for free?!"
Zhu Yu suddenly came back to her senses and grabbed Liu Quancai's hand. She said excitedly,"Good people, Lord Huang is a good person, Lord Liu is a good person!”
"If it can be mined, it will also benefit the people of my Ming Dynasty!”Liu Quancai wiped the sweat off his forehead. Zhu Yu was really ruthless.
At this moment, he deeply agreed with his brother-in-law's words. Merchants were really profit-seeking!
Too bad, too bad! He was actually playing psychological warfare with him!
Fortunately, the task that his brother-in-law had given him could be considered completed.
"This is a contract with a changed price. If there is no problem, please sign it!”
"Good!"
Zhu Yu nodded heavily. After reading it carefully, she pressed her fingerprint and signed her name.
Liu Quancai looked at the contract in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief. He could now go back and report to his brother-in-law.
......
......
"Brother-in-law, it's done! It's done!"
"He was really as you expected, brother-in-law. At first, he was hesitant, so I first lowered the salt I give you every month to ten catties.”
"Guess what? He agreed decisively and signed the contract on the spot.”
"Ten catties a month? Selling such a huge salt mountain?”
When Huang Zicheng heard the price, his heart skipped a beat and he stood up abruptly.
Perhaps he also felt that he had sold it too low. This price was no different from giving it away for free.
Liu Quancai said fiercely," Brother-in-law, you've said too much. This businessman is too greedy. He's too bad. He's very good at scheming!"”
"He kept silent and kept asking me to bid. Don't you think it's infuriating?”
"However…"
Then, he changed the topic and said,"See, the contract is here. It has been signed in three copies. If he can't mine it at that time, he won't be able to send the salt to you. Hehe! Let's kill him!"
Hearing his brother-in-law's words,
Huang Zicheng narrowed his eyes and grinned, his entire face turning into a pancake.
He picked up the contract and placed it in front of his chest as if he had obtained a treasure. He chuckled and said,"All-rounder. You're wrong about something. Can a scholar's matter be called a scam?”
"It's obvious that he needs the salt mountain. In order to benefit the people, I helped him.”
