Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 156 The Fleet Arrives
Zhang Ming and his fleet have already set off and are expected to arrive in the next few days.

There is no pier here, so Zhang Ming Xizhi went to arrange it. First, we need to build a simple pier, which can be loaded and unloaded temporarily.

At this time, Tao Qian was in a state of desperation.

A county magistrate was killed. If Xuzhou didn't say anything, how could Zhang Ming be stopped from selling salted fish?

Immediately, the policy could not be carried out. At this time, no one dared to seize Zhang Ming's salted fish, it would kill people.

The seven major salt merchants found Tao Qian again.

"Lord Inspector, Zhang Ming is defying the imperial court and openly rebelling."

"Lord Inspector, quickly arrest Zhang Ming."

"Lord Inspector, this matter cannot be left alone."

Tao Qian has one head and two big heads. Zhang Ming's blatant murder this time is a challenge to his authority.

If it can't be solved, there is no way to calm Zhang Ming.

"Zhang Ming was granted the title of Marquis of the Township. Without an imperial decree, the old man has nothing to do with him."

Zhang Ming dared to kill the county magistrate, but Tao Qian did not dare to kill Zhang Ming.

Of course, if he was in the city, Tao Qian would still dare to order him to be arrested.

But outside the city, things were out of control, causing both sides to kill each other, and Tao Qian couldn't control the situation at that time.

The Seven Great Salt Merchants gritted their teeth, unwilling to kill Zhang Ming.

But at this time, they have nothing to do.

For the time being, the two sides remained at a stalemate.

Around Xiapi City, salted fish gradually became unavailable for sale, especially within the city, and there were still many people outside the city.

Zhang Ming sent people to sell them outside the city and in the villages. Tao Qian and the others had backward management, so they really couldn't react so quickly.

The salted fish in the city is enough to last for a long time.

In this way, the family's salt still cannot be sold, and their salted fish cannot be sold either.

However, the energy of Tao Qian and the seven major merchants is still very large. Under their joint pressure and the cooperation of the prefects of various counties, they are united as one.

A few days later, all the salted fish in the city were blocked. Although they were not confiscated, Zhang Ming's salted fish could not be transported in either.

In this way, they can be regarded as a phased victory.

Tao Qian, they finally stabilized their position for the time being.

They began to take out some salted fish to test the waters, and after raising the price by [-]%, they could still sell them.

However, many people know that there are salted fish outside the city, so they go outside the city to buy them.

After stabilizing the ground for the time being, wait for the court's ruling.

From Xuzhou to Luoyang, if you go fast all the way, you can get there in seven or eight days.

Zhang Ming's memorial arrived first, and after it arrived, the emperor was obsessed with model albums. This matter was not particularly urgent, so he didn't deal with it right away.

However, Tao Qian's memorial also arrived soon.

Now the whole court is boiling.

"The sale of salted fish should be banned."

"Ridiculous, it is ridiculous to ban the sale of salted fish."

"Salted fish has endangered the survival of the imperial court."

"I have never heard of restricting the sale of salted fish in ancient and modern times. Isn't it to make future generations laugh."

"It can be bought and sold, but it must be heavily taxed."

When the memorial arrived in Luoyang, there was an immediate commotion.

As for whether Wentu rebelled, few people paid attention to it.

These senior officials in Luoyang began to quarrel, and even the emperor was alarmed.

Alarming the emperor, Liu Hong had no choice but to go to court, but he went to court twice, and neither side came to a conclusion.

The court quarreled for several days, but to no avail.

The emperor didn't care, and supported Zhang Ming in his heart, because Zhang Ming was doing things for him.

And for these county guards, the taxes collected by the localities seldom went into the emperor's pocket, and were basically used up, and very little tax was handed over to the court.

Although Zhang Ming's money couldn't reach the emperor's pocket, Zhang Ming often brought immortal things to the emperor.

When the emperor did not make a decision, the court had been arguing endlessly, but the matter was delayed.

The emperor ordered that the court meeting be held after five days, so the matter has been dragged on.

The court can drag it down, but the dispute between Zhang Ming and Xuzhou cannot be stopped.

After a few days, the salted fish in the city could hardly be sold, only the family was selling them.

The aristocratic family can sell it with a [-]% increase in price, but if they want to increase it further, they will not be able to sell it at all.

The reason is simple. There are still a lot of salted fish in the hands of the people, which can be smuggled outside the city.

In this way, it will definitely not work if the price is too high, and you can continue to sell it with a [-]% increase.

The seven major salt merchants have been unable to recover their costs for more than a month. These salt merchants have to support many people and still have a large amount of goods in their hands.

At this time, they can only increase the price by [-]% and sell it first.

In this way, it is very strange that these salt merchants have become middlemen, the big head Zhang Ming makes money, and the small head they also make money. Compared with the previous one or two times the huge profits, there is no way to compare.

On the beach, the simple pier has been built, Zhang Ming brought Xi Zhicai, and fifty members of the special forces team are waiting here.

At the same time, Xi Zhicai also recruited more than 2000 common people.

These people are ready to unload.

Soon, a large ship sailed by in the distance.

This time there were seven ships, most of which were salted fish, and of course liquor, paper and other things, but salted fish accounted for most of them.

The simple dock can only dock one ship at a time, and the rest of the ships can only be transported after the ship is unloaded.

This ship can transport more than 1000 tons of salted fish, and consumes very little on the road, unlike on land, which requires a large number of people to accept and eat more on the road.

Seven ships, with nearly [-] tons of salted fish, can transport so much salted fish at one time.

"My lord, the Xuzhou family is probably going to vomit blood with the salted fish you shipped over."

Xi Zhicai looked at the sea, and his heart couldn't help but feel ups and downs. Because of Zhang Ming's big movement, the whole Liaodong will develop rapidly.

Xi Zhicai couldn't help thinking that when Zhang Ming recruited him before, he was unwilling in every possible way.

"Don't worry, when these aristocratic families can't bear it and go crazy, I will still let them go."

"My lord is going to draw blood from them?"

"That's right, through the window of Xuzhou and using these families, we can make fewer enemies, make more money, and tie some families to our chariots."

Xi Zhicai probably guessed Zhang Ming's plan.

However, there is a prerequisite for this, these aristocratic families must be made desperate, and Tao Qian has no choice but to implement the plan at that time.

Xuzhou is very important to Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming traveled thousands of miles to come here. He wants to make money and other plans.

"Zhuzi, release the news. I have a lot of salted fish here, and they are directly transported from Liaodong Sea in a large ship."

Zhang Ming knew that after the news was released, the major salt merchants would definitely go crazy.

If these salted fish are sold, they don't know how much they will lose.

Sure enough, not long after the news was released, I don't know how many people came to check the news.

But Zhang Ming and the others began to unload the goods. From here, I don’t know how many places can be shipped to various places in Xuzhou. Half of the checkpoints they set up have lost their effect. When the time comes to sell them in the countryside or directly outside the city, they can’t stop them. .

　The fifth watch is over, let's get all those who have tickets~
