Moreover, ever since Qin Yu occupied Haizhou, the sea fish in Haizhou have always been sold by sea, and these aristocratic families have not touched the sea fish business for a long time.
So, what to do with all that sea salt?
However, if sea salt is sold at 600 wen per catty, doesn't that mean that the price of refined salt in their hands can also be raised? At the very least, it must be sold at 1,200 wen per catty!
Tsk tsk! Although these Japanese slaves have some problems with their brains, they are indeed good. They have created a lot of profits for them!
"Haha! We have no objection to this!"
"Raising the price is great! You can put up a notice and let everyone in Haizhou know. We'll raise the price too!"
"Wa Nu, aren't you going to buy food recently? You can buy it from us. If you buy a lot, we can give you a discount!"
"Yes! The food we have is more than enough for you to consume. As long as you can afford the silver, we will sell it to you!"
The nobles all said this with a smile.
"We don't have any silver, so we can only exchange it for sea salt. If you exchange it now, we can give you a preferential price for the sea salt: 300 coins per pound!"
The Japanese said proudly.
These aristocratic families in Daliang are so short-sighted that they don’t even realize the horror of the policy they proposed!
When their salt is sold out and the people of Haizhou have no salt to eat, they will beg them to buy sea salt at a high price!
“This…never mind that!”
The aristocratic family refused directly!
They felt that these Japanese slaves must have had their brains kicked by a donkey. Who would exchange grain for sea salt for no reason, unless they were a fool!
After the Japanese announced the price increase of sea salt, they let them go back. Then they posted a notice and the people of Haizhou were shocked!
"What a joke! The price of sea salt has actually risen to 600 wen per jin!"
"If that's the case, wouldn't the price of refined salt also skyrocket? With our income, we can't even afford a pound of sea salt, let alone refined salt!"
"Quick! Go buy some refined salt!"
The people of Haizhou reacted immediately and rushed into Haicheng like crazy, looking for noble families to buy refined salt!
However, the nobles had received the news in advance, so when they arrived, the price of refined salt had already gone up!
The people could not afford such expensive refined salt and had no choice but to go back.
The nobles were not in a panic either. Salt was something they had to eat anyway, and in the end, the common people would still have to spend money to buy it!
There is also a new situation on the Japanese side!
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Japan! Something terrible has happened! A large number of our soldiers have developed diarrhea, and many have been mildly poisoned!"
A Japanese slave found Yamaguchi and barked loudly to report.
"What's going on? Our soldiers should be eating the food we brought with us. How could they be poisoned?"
Yamaguchi barked and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty! Our preliminary estimate is that our soldiers were most likely poisoned by eating sea salt!"
The Japanese slave said in a deep voice.
