"What? One hundred and twenty coins per catty! Why do I remember that the price of grain in Daliang was thirty coins per catty!"
Yamaguchi barked in shock.
According to the news sent back by Yamaguchi Xiaoquan, the price of grain in Daliang has remained at 30 wen per catty. In some places where grain is not produced, the price of grain may rise to 35 wen per catty!
In any case, it is impossible for the price to be as high as one hundred and twenty coins per catty. This is four times the price!
Moreover, the Japanese occupied Haicheng, which made them the masters of this place. Theoretically, shouldn't all the resources of Haicheng belong to them?
For the Japanese, whenever they captured a city, they would massacre all the inhabitants. The fact that they did not massacre the people of Haizhou was already a great mercy!
These untouchables in Haizhou are simply shameless!
Not only did they refuse to hand over the grain, they even dared to raise the price!
"Emperor of Japan! This... I'm not sure why the price is so high, but if you don't pay, I can only rob you. I'm worried that it will cause panic among the people of Haicheng!"
The Japanese slave said in a deep voice.
Yamaguchi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Don't we have sea salt? We can dig it out and sell it. The noble families in Haicheng also sell salt. Let them buy it!"
"Besides, if Haicheng is occupied by us, the prince of Daliang will never sell salt to them. Even if he does, we can blockade it and force them to buy our salt!"
"Let's increase the price of salt twenty-fold to six hundred coins per pound!"
Hearing what Yamaguchi said, the Japanese slaves' faces instantly showed joy. That's right! They occupied Haicheng, a treasure land of salt production, so how could they be short of money?
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Wa is right. We have occupied Haicheng, so how can we be short of money? I will do it right away!"
Afterwards, the Japanese slaves retreated and ordered their men to dig salt, which they then sold to the noble families of Haicheng in exchange for silver!
The Japanese were born short, which made them particularly suitable for mining sea salt. In just one afternoon, they dug out more than 100,000 kilograms of sea salt!
Then, the Japanese minister gathered all the noble families in Haicheng and talked to them about selling sea salt!
"Haha! These Japanese slaves gathered us together, probably to give us some benefits again!"
"I have to say, these Japanese slaves are really good. They have given us so many benefits over the past period of time. They even don't collect taxes from us!"
"Compared to the Japanese slaves, the Crown Prince of Daliang is nothing. After he came to kill us, the first thing he did was to collect taxes from us. He is simply despicable!"
"Haha! Let's see later. The Japanese might come to us to buy food. At 120 coins per pound, we're going to make a killing!"
......
The nobles all sneered and said.
In order to earn money from the Japanese, they deliberately reduced the amount of grain sold to the people of Haizhou during this period. Of course, the amount of grain sold to the people of Haizhou was only doubled, and the price was sixty coins per catty!
As for why he did this, it was of course because Qin Yu once bought grain at a high price in Nanli City. When the price was the highest, it was far more than one hundred and twenty coins!
They sold it to the Japanese at 120 wen per pound, which was already a fair price. I believe the Japanese must be very grateful to them now!
"Today, our great Emperor of Wa has summoned you! To tell you something: from now on, the price of salt you buy will go up!"
"All the salt fields in Haizhou are under the control of our Japanese slaves. The price of salt has increased to 600 coins per catty! Do you understand? None of you are allowed to buy from Qin Yu!"
The Japanese slave said coldly.
Forehead......
The nobles were speechless. They thought these Japanese slaves must be okay with their brains. The sea salt from Haizhou cannot be eaten directly and can only be used to pickle sea fish!
