Seeing this, Zhao Tai felt a little unhappy.

At this time, the accountant who took the shopkeeper's list looked at it and said: "Thirty thousand kilograms of salt, the customer only needs to pay three thousand kuan."

Zhao Tai frowned and said, "Isn't salt seventy cents per catty? Why has the price changed?"

The accountant who took over smiled slyly, "Just now it was the packaged price of grain, oil and salt. If customers buy more, it is naturally cheaper. Now customers only need 30,000 kilograms of salt, so there is no discount and they can only go at the individual customer price.

"

Zhao Tai glanced at the shopkeeper and saw that he had his head lowered, fiddling with his abacus, and had no intention of raising his head. Some shops were bullying customers, so he couldn't help but get angry, "I don't want any more salt."

The accountant still had a professional smile on his face, but that smile and tone were full of disdain and ridicule, "Haha~ The door is over here, I won't send it away."

The guards beside Zhao Tai were furious. The young Zhao Hu raised his fists and tried to strike, "Zu Niao, why are you talking to our young master!"

The accountant showed no fear on his face and sneered: "Guest, this is Yangzhou. How dare you offend our Yang family?"

Zhao Hu and others used to be hungry people and were at the bottom of society. They were still afraid of provoking the powerful and causing trouble for Zhao Tai.

After hearing what the accountant said, they didn't dare to mess around, but it would be too embarrassing to stop like this, so they looked at Zhao Tai and said, "Sir, if you just say one word, we will destroy this store."

Zhao Tai's purpose was to purchase raw materials and find businessmen he could cooperate with, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

Yang Sheng, the owner of the Dongsheng, is said to be the mother-in-law of Empress Dowager Yang. She is a relative and has great influence in Yangzhou.

Zhao Tai's cheeks twitched, "Forget it, let's go somewhere else."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Tai led his subordinates to leave. The business could not be done because it was Dongsheng's loss. Zhao Tai would find the next one.

The shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus waited until Zhao Tai left the shop, then raised his head and said contemptuously, "Humph, a few reformed people can also be regarded as big customers!"

Zhao Tai walked to the door and when he heard these words, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Master Zhao must avenge himself, so he wanted to let it go, but he didn't expect that the other party dared to discriminate against him, so he couldn't let it go.

Zhao Tai came back and asked in a cold voice: "What do you call the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect Zhao Tai to turn around. He saw that Zhao Tai looked unkind, so he probably heard what he said.

"My surname is Yang, and my first name is Fu!" The shopkeeper did not pretend to be kind, but emphasized in a cold voice, "This is Yangzhou, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Tai said coldly: "Yang Fu, right? I've written it down. Because of you, Dongsheng will make tens of thousands less every month. Wait until your employer fires you!"

Yang Fu couldn't help but laugh. This guy from Beigui had such a big mouth. He didn't have much money in his pocket, but he still dared to pretend to be an uncle.

After the humiliation of Jingkang, Zhao Gou negotiated peace with the Kingdom of Jin and betrayed the northern Han people to the Kingdom of Jin, causing the division of the Han people between the north and the south.

Because the Southern Song Dynasty was afraid of offending the Jin Kingdom, for a long time they did not dare to accept, nor were they willing to accept, the Han people who escaped from the north.

This attitude of the court caused these northern Han people to be discriminated against by the government and the public. The Southern Song Dynasty called them "reformed people" to distinguish them from the southern Han people.

In the past hundred years, the world's economy has been strong in the south and weak in the north. Politically, the southerners have controlled the political arena of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Han people who escaped from the north have not been reused, and their economic and political status is very low.

Economically, he was very poor and lived at the bottom of society in the Southern Song Dynasty. Politically, few people held high-ranking officials in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the eyes of the southern Han people, the reformed people from the north are engaged in relatively low-level jobs. Over time, a situation has formed among the people that southerners discriminate against northern Han people.

Yang Fu heard the northern accent of Zhao Tai and his party, and asked to purchase 70,000 jins of goods, but in the end they only wanted 30,000 jins of salt. He despised this Tianzhu-style purchasing method, and looked down on Zhao Tai.

The business they do on the Dongshenghao is with various salt merchants and grain merchants. Each of them purchases hundreds of thousands of kilograms at a time, and they really don't care about small orders of thirty thousand kilograms.

Yang Fu looked contemptuous, "Humph, what a big sigh, I'll wait for you."

Zhao Tai wrote down the name without getting too hung up on it.

He doesn't speak much harshly, and he likes to play dirty tricks. The opponent is just a villain. If Zhao Tai conflicts with him in the street, he will appear to be inferior. Moreover, there are other people outside the store, so he will not have an advantage.

Zhao Tai knew his name, so he led Zhao Hu and others away.

Seeing this, Yang Fu couldn't help but sneer, and he didn't take the reformers to heart and continued to make plans.

"Sir, their shop bullies customers, it's so annoying." After leaving the Dongsheng, Zhao Hu and others were still aggrieved.

Zhao Tai seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "The Yang family is very powerful in Yangzhou and is the president of several guilds. We can't conflict with them head-on now, but it won't be long before they take the initiative to apologize to me.

Apologize."

Zhao Tai has this confidence, there are many sales channels, and only he has the goods.

In addition, many materials in Zhao Tai's territory need to be purchased from the Southern Song Dynasty. As his territory expands, who would miss such a big customer like him?

Tai did not go back home because of his encounter on the Dongsheng Hao. Zhao Tai looked at several more stores along the street and found that the prices were actually about the same as those offered by the Dongsheng Hao.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, commerce was developed and all walks of life had guilds. In order to prevent vicious competition and avoid price wars among merchants, merchants within the guild sold goods at similar prices.

After visiting several stores in a row, Zhao Tai finally understood that the rise in grain and oil prices in Yangzhou was actually related to him.

The grain output of the Southern Song Dynasty did not increase significantly this year, and the harvest was the same as last year. However, this year the Southern Song Dynasty continued to transport grain to the Jin Kingdom, which caused grain prices to rise.

The price of soybean oil rose because oil was already relatively scarce, and Zhao Tai sent people to buy it aggressively in Chuzhou, which caused the oil price to rise as well.

Of course, this increase is only the result of Zhao Tai's aggressive purchasing in Huainan in recent times. When goods from Jinghu, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang arrive, the price will definitely fall back.

Now Zhao Tai's top priority, in addition to shipping, is to establish a relatively stable supply channel for raw materials. Otherwise, sudden large purchases will definitely cause prices to skyrocket.

Zhao Tai walked around and returned to Huiyuan. Jia Sidao had already sobered up, so Zhao Tai found him, hoping that he could introduce him to the owner of Huiyuan and wish him success.

Zhao Tai initially wanted to find cooperation with the top big businesses in Yangzhou City.

After all, their sales channels were wider, but after the Dongsheng ship hit a wall, Zhao Tai felt that he might not have a say in seeking cooperation with the big chamber of commerce, so he asked Jia Sidao to write to Zhu Wei, hoping to discuss cooperation with the Zhu family.

Of course, Zhao Tai did not place all his hopes on the Zhu family. In order to attract the attention of Yangzhou businessmen and people, Zhao Tai found more than a dozen wooden basins and some dirty clothes, and began to teach his subordinates to set up stalls and promote them.
