Chapter 1096: Destruction of Salt

()...,

Zhang Yu began to pay attention to the price of salt in Changsha City, which is not useless.

Salt, very important, but not taken seriously.

In life, as long as there is table salt, people will not pay much attention to it, but the princes attach great importance to it, because salt tax has always been an important source of taxation for the princes.

However, although it is important, in life, these princes did not pay much attention to the situation of salt.

Salt, if you don't eat it for a period of time, you can't die.

As long as the people have food, as for salt, few people pay attention.

Zhang Yu began to arrange.

"I'll give you ten days to find out if there are any other salt warehouses, whether it's Sun Ce's or another family's."

Zhang Yu's arrangement, these intelligence personnel will naturally carry out faithfully.

After these people left, Zhang Yu called in another group of intelligence personnel.

"There is a salt warehouse here. You should find a way to destroy it. Be prepared and wait for orders. There is also a granary not far away, and we will also destroy it together," Mu Han said.

These intelligence personnel did not understand Zhang Yu's intentions, but this did not prevent them from faithfully implementing it.

The generals beside Zhang Yu, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, and Huang Xu didn't understand very much.

"My lord, what's the use of burning a salt warehouse," Dian Wei muttered.

Although Dian Wei was muttering, he didn't question Zhang Yu's decision.

The other generals didn't speak, obviously they didn't understand Zhang Yu's decision either.

Zhang Yu smiled, this is hard to explain, could you tell them that people will suffer from various diseases if they do not eat salt for a long time, and even feel weak all over.

"You also have work to do. From today onwards, patrol around and control everything within 30 miles of the city. No matter what the personnel are, the goods are only allowed to go out and not allowed to enter."

"Especially table salt, we must focus on checking and detaining it. Once found, you are welcome to find the family directly."

Zhang Yu wants to cut off their salt,

Let the salt in Changsha City become a scarce thing.

In fact, the salt in Changsha City has long been a scarce item, but no one has paid attention to it.

Zhang Yu has long since cut off the salt trade of the major vassals. After the price increase, he only trades with some aristocratic families.

The price has risen, so everyone saves a little, so these aristocratic families don't purchase very much, at least they don't dare to hoard a large amount.

A few days later, intelligence came again from the city.

Indeed, there is still some salt in the warehouse of a family.

"These table salt can't be set on fire. Find a way to buy it, even by coercion and lure, and then secretly dispose of it." Zhang Yu ordered.

If the two salt warehouses were burned, and the salt in one was not too much, then Sun Ce and the others would definitely be able to think of Zhang Yu's purpose immediately.

At that time, they may collect salt from the whole city and supply it to the army.

Intelligence personnel quickly dealt with it.

At the beginning, they bought some table salt at a high price.

Then it melted secretly, and then poured into some land, seeping into the ground, without a trace.

But this aristocratic family still has some salt in their hands.

This aristocratic family saw that it was beneficial, so they refused to sell it.

These intelligence agencies had no choice but to secretly control their family, take away the salt, and then destroy it.

"Sell it honestly and get a lot of money, why are you bothering?" An intelligence officer said to the head of the family surnamed Li.

The whole family surnamed Li was brought under control.

The head of the family surnamed Li was trembling. Suddenly, dozens of people in the family were controlled by more than a dozen people with knives. It was impossible not to panic.

"Salt, money, you take them all, take them all, please don't kill people."

"It would have been better if it had been like this earlier, we will take all the salt away, and there will be nothing left."

"Okay, okay, take them all away, and then let us go, let us go." The Patriarch surnamed Li begged.

The intelligence officer shook his head, and then said: "Don't worry, we won't kill people, but during this period of time, none of you can leave. If outsiders come, you have to deal with them. If something goes wrong, the lives of your whole family will be at stake." Gone."

The head of the family surnamed Li was threatened, so how dare he not cooperate.

At this time, Zhang Yu had already started planning to destroy another salt warehouse.

This warehouse is for military use, and there are tens of thousands of salt in it.

After a few days, intelligence personnel were ready.

At night, there are people patrolling the streets, especially the warehouses.

However, intelligence personnel acted during the day, and they hid a few people in during the day. Some of these people were soldiers or officials in the army, and their rank was not high, but no one suspected them when they went in.

It took a few days to find out the situation inside, and brought some things that could ignite into it.

Zhang Yu had infiltrated Sun Ce's side very early, and now he has his own people in some key places, which is very effective at this time.

In a few days, Zhang Yu's intelligence personnel infiltrated the two warehouses.

In the early hours of the morning, one of his own people was on duty. He secretly opened a lot of spirits hidden inside, poured them all over the place, and then lit the fire within the appointed time.

Once the fire started, it could not be extinguished, and the tens of thousands of stones of salt were reduced to ashes.

And the grain warehouse is simpler, because the grain can catch fire.

Two warehouses caught fire, shaking the city of Changsha.

Sun Ce handled it himself, and led the army to patrol and search the city.

During the search, they also found the place of the family, but the people inside were replaced, and the family surnamed Li was not suspected.

"Search, continue to search, we must find them."

After searching all night, but did not find anything useful, Sun Ce was furious.

The loss of the two warehouses is not big, because they have a lot of warehouses and the grain and grass are not put together, but this affects the morale of the army too much.

"Starting tonight, we will redouble our inspections at night. Anyone who has an accident will be dealt with by military law." Sun Ce ordered.

Sun Ce didn't know about this fire. In fact, he had already planned a lot, and the impact would be huge.
