Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 856
As the first branch of the Ningrong Second Mansion, the pillar in the officialdom, Lin Ruhai said that nothing would happen easily.

Now Jia Rong would never agree to use him as a raft to meet her own financial needs.

Qin Keqing's words of comfort to Jia Min were not empty words.

Some things can be compromised, but some things must not be easily compromised, otherwise the end will definitely not be so good.

Is the thunder of Yanzheng so easy to touch?
As far as Jia Rong knew, the existence related to Lianghuai Salt Affairs included the prince who had just grown up, relatives of the emperor, cabinet bosses, and local officials. If Lin Ruhai was completely offended by this lineup, Jia Rong would just I can hehe.

Not counting the many local tycoons related to salt affairs, it is really an overwhelming terrifying net.

It is actually very simple to dispel some of today's thoughts.

As long as the news is revealed a little bit, it is enough for the interest groups related to the salt administration to make the most violent reaction.

In fact, he did as well.

Isn't it just rumors? It's not like he didn't let go of it before, and he's been familiar with it for a long time.
Anyway, there are rumors about the salt affairs outside, and there are a lot of rumors, plus a few rumors that make some people terrified and shocked, it's nothing.

Soon, there were a few more rumors in the turbulent city wells of the capital.

The beginning is a shock: Today, it is intended to produce a large amount of edible sea salt through the method of drying salt!

As for the method of drying sea salt, it is also briefly explained in the rumors.

The method of drying sea salt is not a secret technology.

It is mentioned in many ancient books, obviously this technology is not complicated.

In fact, the literal meaning is almost the same, that is, sea salt is made by drying in the sun.

To prove it is very simple, take a plate and pour salt water, put it in the sun, wait for the water to evaporate, and what is left is pure table salt.

In fact, it is similar to boiling salt, but it does not need firewood to cook.

The key point is that those who have powerful forces along the coast, especially the interest groups involved in the sale of private salt, must have mastered the method of drying sea salt.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the amount of illegal salt in Dagan is much more than the boiled salt produced by regular salt farms.

The government-controlled saltworks, because of boiling salt, even if the output is concealed, it will not be too exaggerated.

After all, it takes enough fuel to cook salt!

But the fact is that the private salt that circulates in Dagan territory every year is at least dozens of times the amount of regular table salt controlled by the government, which is too exaggerated.

As soon as this rumor came out, it immediately alarmed many interested people.

They did a simple experiment according to the method described in the rumors, and they were indeed able to turn salt water into table salt!
This time, it's really amazing.

All the rentiers related to the salt administration were furious and roared again and again.

On the one hand, they moved quickly to seize control of the coastal land; on the other hand, they were angry at the audacity of some private salt dealers.

Illegal salt is one of their pockets and one of their main sources of income. How could they tolerate other people's meddling?

I didn't notice it before, mainly because the private salt dealers on the southeast coast were very cautious, and the territory of Dagan was too vast.

It's no wonder that in the southeast coastal areas, there is basically no distribution of Lianghuai private salt!
All the rentiers who knew something about the private salt business couldn't help showing a look of pain as long as they calculated carefully.

The amount of money they lost, if calculated from the time when they shared the profit of the private salt, was definitely calculated in units of tens of millions of taels of silver, so one can imagine the magnitude of the loss.

Damn, the local tyrants in the southeast coastal area dared to snatch so many benefits in private, they definitely can't let it go.

Hearing that, even after knowing the relevant information today, he couldn't help but change his face.

It is estimated that only the local forces in the southeast coast, and the court officials representing them, are now in a daze, and somehow they have become the first birds?

The matter of drying sea salt is also a secret thing on the southeast coast, and only the core members of the southeast power circle know about it.

Right now, it has suddenly become a gossip in the capital's urban wells. How can it be possible to say that there is no panic?

And the official representatives launched by the gentry forces in the southeast have a unified name: Donglin Party!
The second rumor is equally explosive: Today, he wants to send important officials to use the Jinmen Salt Farm as the base to make sea salt in a big way, and dominate the entire northern salt market!
The official salt price is high and the quality is not easy to sell, right?
Then sell the sun-dried sea salt at the price of private salt!

Anyway, the cost of sun-dried sea salt is low and the output is huge. It is entirely possible to make huge profits through small profits but quick turnover.

Such rumors would not have caused much disturbance.

After all, the saying of turning official salt into private salt is really unreliable.

If you really want to do this, the imperial court and the present will lose face.

It's just that if you really make up your mind now, that's not sure.

After all, the price of private salt is indeed cheap, but it can also be profitable. Who can say that if the price of sea salt with low cost and huge output is as low as that of private salt, the treasury’s financial resources cannot skyrocket?

Among other things, just taking the share of the private salt in the north would be a huge profit close to or even exceeding tens of millions of taels.

It's hard to guarantee that he won't be tempted now, so Lin Ruhai who is quite familiar with the salt administration comes to mind.It turns out that today I want to reuse this guy, not humiliate him.

Others and forces hadn't reacted much, but the Rongfu side suddenly realized, and then the old lady personally came forward and invited Jia Min to the mansion for a heart-to-heart talk, putting on a very enthusiastic posture, which really made people laugh and cry.

But such a thing, the vast majority of officials in the court cannot accept it.

In other words, it conflicted with the interests of many officials.

It would not be a good thing for the court if it really loses money today.

In addition, it is absolutely unacceptable to try and promote the method of drying sea salt in the Jinmen Salt Field.

As mentioned earlier, the rentiers who cling to the salt government and take advantage of them are all the top dignitaries of the Daqian Dynasty.

How could it be possible to let them obediently give up huge benefits and expand the resources at hand?

It also integrates the salt market in the entire north, which is beautiful!

As for Lin Ruhai, didn't he do a good job in Jin Province, so let's continue to work, and don't carelessly participate in this unreliable business.

These words really reached Jia Rong's ears through certain channels, and someone wanted him to pass them directly to Lin Ruhai.

Apparently, even though it was just a rumor circulating in the city wells of the capital, some people couldn't sit still, and put on a posture of wanting to kill some possibility in the cradle, which is quite exaggerated...
