That's right, what Li Min is taking now is to limit the supply to a limited number of people.
There is no way, now there is a general lack of salt in Yizhou.
And with their current production scale, they simply cannot meet the needs of so many people in a short period of time.
What's more, he sold it at such a low price.
Li Min believed that if there was no control, it would be impossible for the salt to be sold to the people.
Those people from aristocratic families will definitely be intercepted and transported outside to be sold.
In order to solve this problem, Li Min could only temporarily hand over the salt to the county magistrates in various places and sell it according to the population.
In the next time, when the crisis of salt shortage in Yizhou City is temporarily over, and when their production can be increased, they will not be afraid of such operations.
Li Min also warned Wang Siqiu in stern words that if he found out that the salt was not sold to the people in sufficient quantity, then the punishment waiting for him would be the loss of his head.
Wang Siqiu quickly promised that he would not be perfunctory and would definitely do what the Governor ordered.
In the next few days, county magistrates from various counties in Yizhou rushed to Yizhou City one after another.
One after another, they took away the same number of kilograms of salt according to the population of each county.
The amount per kilogram per person is enough for them to eat for several months. This salt is enough to solve the current problem of salt deficiency.
Of course, Li Min believed that it was impossible for every county magistrate to obey his orders.
There must be someone here secretly enriching themselves.
There may even be officials from some aristocratic families who may be obstructing it from within.
Li Min has already given all the instructions that need to be given.
If someone really dared to commit a crime against the trend, then Li Min would naturally not be merciful to them.
At present, Li Min's control over Yizhou is really poor.
He could only hear the news from various places from the reports of officials at all levels.
And I'm afraid, the news that Li Min heard could only be what they wanted Li Min to hear.
In order to solve this problem, Li Min had to ask Xue Rengui to send out a hundred escort troops.
Disguised as ordinary people, sneaked into various counties to inquire about the distribution of salt.
…
At this time, in the Zhao Mansion, Cui Zhiji was negotiating with Zhao Youde, the head of the Zhao family, in a secret room.
At this time, on the Zhenguan table in the secret room, there was a bag of fine salt sold by the Governor.
Cui Zhiji stretched out his hand and pinched a small cluster of fine salt into his mouth. After tasting it carefully, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Really, the taste of this fine salt is too pure.
He could hardly taste anything other than salty.
You know, even the finest salt used by their family will still have a slight bitter taste and cannot achieve this.
The salt produced by this Grand Governor is better than the best salt produced by his family.
And the price is only one-third of theirs.
Even the price of coarse salt sold by the family has reached more than 50 yuan per catty.
The price of salt sold by this governor was only thirty cents.
As one of the aristocratic families, Cui Zhiji knows exactly what this means.
This means that once the salt produced by this King of Shu can be mass-produced, it will completely change the situation in which aristocratic families control the salt industry.
The profits from salt are really amazing.
Their cost price is just over two cents per catty, but even at wholesale price, they sell it for more than forty cents.
And table salt is a consumable product, so the profits therein are absolutely shocking.
Of course, this salt is actually made by the Wang family in Taiyuan.
If the Cui family of Qinghe could master the salt-making technology in their hands...
Thinking of this, Cui Zhiji's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
The profits here are really amazing!
If the Cui family can get it, then the Cui family of Qinghe will definitely be able to move to a higher level.
The Cui family will definitely become the largest family in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the method of making salt must be in the hands of the Cui family.
Of course, at this point, although Zhao Youde is a local leader, it is difficult to help him.
If you want to know how to make salt, you probably have to go to the governor Lin Jue.
…
At this time, Li Min was taking Xue Rengui and a dozen other members of the escort, dressed in disguise, and quietly appeared on the streets of Yizhou City.
This time, Li Min decided to go to Zhe Chong Mansion to have a look.
Li Min didn't want to continue his ink-writing in Yizhou.
He decided to quickly capture Lin Jie and give the disobedient family a painful beating.
Only in this way can he quickly control Yizhou.
If we can't even control it, then how can we develop Yizhou?
And if you want to take down Lin Jie and the disobedient family, you must seize their leverage.
Li Min decided to knock on the mountain to shock the tiger and lure the snake out of its cave.
As long as they move, Li Min can quickly capture them.
And if we want to capture them, the thousand escorts brought by Li Min alone are still a little weak, and it feels like they are stretched thin.
If the 1,500 soldiers from Zhechong Mansion could be mobilized, it would be more than enough.
Of course, only the Emperor's Tiger Talisman can be mobilized in Zhe Chong Mansion.
Without the other half of the Tiger Talisman, it would be impossible to mobilize the officers and soldiers of Zhe Chong Mansion.
But Li Min believed that it was due to the tacit understanding between him and Li Shimin.
After he reported the situation in Yizhou back, he believed that Li Shimin would send the tiger talisman to him as soon as possible.
Before Hufu arrived, Li Min decided to meet Xi Junmai first.
Xi Jun bought this man, who is very skilled in martial arts and very courageous. He is a fierce general.
But strong men, too, are usually extremely conceited.
Li Min had to verify Xi Junmai's attitude towards him first.
If Xi Junmai is extremely arrogant and disdainful of himself, then Li Min must find a way to win over Xi Junmai as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if he wants to take action against Lin Jie and the Aristocratic Family, and Xi Junmai doesn't cooperate with him, then something big will happen.
…
Not long after, Li Min and a group of guards arrived outside Zhechong Mansion.
"Stop anyone who comes here! This is Zhe Chong Mansion. There are no badges. Anyone who trespasses will die."
There are farms in Zhechong Prefecture. They are soldiers during war and farmers during peacetime.
In other words, they still have to farm in normal times.
In general, military discipline in Zhechong Mansion is extremely lax.
And here, what Li Min saw was the strict military discipline of Zhe Chong Mansion.
Li Min was extremely satisfied with this.
"I am the Grand Governor of Yizhou. I would like to see you Captain Xi, so I would like to trouble you to inform you."
When they heard that the visitor was actually the Governor of Yizhou, the soldiers on duty did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went inside to report it.
Not long after, Xi Junmai came out with a dozen personal guards to greet him.
