Chapter 31 The prospect of legal smuggling and monopoly!
The inspector, also known as the inspector's office, the inspector's officer is the inspector's officer, and the provincial name is the inspector's officer.
It began with Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang in the later Five Dynasties, and also established a patrol department along the border, along the river and along the coast. It was in charge of training armored soldiers and patrolling prefectures and towns. It had little power but was under heavy control. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all key areas of towns and passes were set up as the inspector of the ninth rank of the chief officials and was under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.
See "Wenxian Tongkao·Thirteenth Officials", "Rizhilu·Legal Affairs of Xiangting" by Gu Yanwu of the Qing Dynasty.
In the modern 21st century, it is the director of the inspection bureau or the director of the urban management office.
But in the late Ming Dynasty, it became a small rank, but it was quite a small position and had real power.
Zhu Zilong just made up his mind to take this position, so he naturally went back to prepare for some work.
When Zhang Jingzheng heard that Zhu Zilong wanted to be the inspector, he was very puzzled. He thought it was not difficult for Zhu Zilong to be the magistrate of a county magistrate, but why did he want this small inspector position?
The Financial Supervision Inspection is a strange official position that is half civil and half military. If it is not a pure military officer, it may not be subject to civil servants.
But during this period, people still felt better and more respectful as civil servants.
Zhu Zilong explained with a smile that this is to facilitate his business, and although this position is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, the officials here all know that they have a good relationship with Shangguan and are highly valued by the eunuchs in the garrison, so the county magistrate really can't take care of him.
I just say that I am afraid that the official position is too small, if I have other ideas in the future, I can naturally donate it again, so there is no need to worry.
When Zhang Jingzheng heard Zhu Zilong say this, his face looked a little better.
Soon, the appointment from the higher authorities came down.
Because of the heavy gifts before, Zhu Zilong also had the title of a miracle doctor, and he didn't even go out at home, so the official uniforms and notices asked the official officer to come to his door.
What is written in the official document? Zhu Zilong is both virtuous and talented. It is always popular in the Wei District. The major plan for salt law is the foundation of the country. He was specially appointed as the inspector of the Shandong Salt Administration Department in Yantai and took office today.
This official position is only a ninth rank, and for most people, they don’t care at all.
But for the people living nearby, such as the Lingshan Guard's military households, it was a big shock. Especially the military households who participated in killing the gangster Yan Ding with Zhu Zilong a few days ago!
A few days ago, I was a little afraid of these people. Now not only is their boss dead, but the position of the boss has also been changed to someone who lives and dies together.
This world is so wonderful!
When Zhu Zilong came to Lingshan Guard in his new official uniform, the military households and family members looked at him in a glance.
When Zhu Zilong saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing and said loudly:
"Don't be afraid, I am easy to talk to. I know what life we live in this year. I am rich and will not make things difficult for you. As long as everyone is obedient and cooperates, they will definitely live a good life."
Everyone immediately smiled awkwardly, hesitating and not speaking. The military households who had had a murder experience with Zhu Zilong were more courageous and spoke first, and they said anxiously:
"Master Zhu, oh no, Lord Zhu, the land here is not good. We rely on private salt to live, can we make some convenience? But it is okay to pay personal income tax."
The people around me interrupted and catered to each other, which was noisy, but they all mean the same thing.
To sum up, the general meaning is, Lord Zhu, please take everyone to sell private salt and make money. The gangster boss used to do the same thing, but the food was too ugly and we had no way to live.
Zhu Zilong smiled knowingly and said loudly: "There is only a precedent, and we all want to live a good life. Everything is easy to say, it is easy to say."
Seeing that Zhu Zilong seemed easy to talk, the atmosphere immediately became a little relaxed, and everyone laughed haha.
The inspector's position is not very high, only the ninth rank, but the ground under the jurisdiction is not small. And there is only the Shangguan, the Salt Transporter, on it!
The last guy who made Ma Xiaosan stab to death was gathered hundreds of scoundrels, set up a checkpoint to check for anti-smuggling salt, and then sold it on a large scale, having money and power, and running rampant.
It's just that I've done it too much, otherwise the people wouldn't hate him so much.
Since Zhu Zilong has made a decision to everyone, he will do it just by saying that.
Half of these thousand and hundreds of households in the north of Lingshan Vacation Station are from the sea, and most of them cook the sea and salt to supplement their household expenses. Their salt is usually sold to Lingshan Salt Field, but there is only three cents of silver per pound, and they have to flatter the people who receive salt and have to endure the arrears and deductions.
Now Zhu Zilong allows them to exchange places for sale by themselves while paying protection fees. Or sell them directly to Zhu Zilong and then sell them.
It’s like paying urban management fees to modern vendors, and then you won’t have to worry about someone arresting you.
Zhu Zilong, who was interested in making money by replacing his hands, also said that he could be a second-hand dealer.
This means that you are afraid of being tired, and the urban management is also responsible for helping you purchase your goods. Where can I find such a good thing?
For a time, whenever the nearby military households and people who had difficulty living in life could only rely on this method to improve their lives, they were extremely happy.
(Of course, you can change places to sell yourself. But the so-called new official has three hot spots, and no one wants to be the first to be a leader. They usually have their own ideas. As long as the new adult is not too bad, just let him be a second-hand dealer, what's the harm in making money?)
Zhu Zilong is really not unintentional. In the following days, he used unspoken rules to inform people who were interested in selling.
The purchase price is nine cents and two silvers per tumbler of low-quality sea salt, provided that sand and other debris cannot be mixed in it.
This purchase price immediately shocked everyone.
Originally, everyone thought that it would be too bad to give it a price, such as four cents and five cents to fully cooperate. Who knew that the new official had three fires burned on it?
Nine cents of silver per load, about one tael of silver.
It has increased by about three times faster than before, and it is simply not that life is too beautiful.
No risk, it’s too tiring to be escorted, no one will catch yourself, and the price has tripled. Could it be that the Bodhisattva has come to become an official?
Soon, Zhu Zilong received tons of damage, oh no, he said it was wrong. He received tons of tons of private salt, sweat!
Zhu Zilong has also put in a long time to deal with these low-quality sea salt.
For example, it is sold to towns and private salt dealers outside the city and transported to other cities.
One hundred and twenty kilograms of salt per tumbled, and the purchase price of private salt dealers is one tael of five cents of silver per tumbled.
A purchase of nine cents, one or five cents are sold, and a taxi makes six cents. Well, the profit is 40-45% and it is not as good as the huge profits of going back and forth. However, it can take the low-end route, with a large volume and a large profit.
You can make a lot of money by traveling through time, but the cooling time of the copycat Moonlight Treasure Box is 49 days, which is too restrictive. Moreover, in order to make a lot of money, you can usually only take the high-end rich route. Now you are doing it at the same time, and you don’t have to worry about the problem!
Moreover, Zhu Zilong, who comes from the modern era of the 21st century, knows the simplest truth that makes the most money.
That is the word monopoly!
Once you become the inspector (the director of the urban management department and the director of the quality inspection department), you can legally sell private salt and make money, and you can also crack down on others' forcing the market. In the end, you will gradually monopolize this kind of business in your region!
At that time, haha, I won’t say much, you understand!
Chapter completed!
