"Lord Liu of Qianzhou Prefecture turned the county port into a cargo transfer station, where all the government's salt and iron would pass through.
My father believes this task is quite important, so he set up a separate department to manage it! Your elder brother is the steward in charge here," Zheng Zhi said.
The steward at the port?
Mu Shuangshuang knew that in ancient times, salt and iron were exclusively managed by the government.
And the prices were set by the government.
Ordinary merchants wanting to get involved and take a cut was impossible.
Unless there was collusion between officials and merchants.
Private salt and iron, under the protection of officials, were brought into a place. Either sold privately or branded with the government's label.
Regardless of which, the profits involved were significant without needing Mu Shuangshuang to elaborate.
The benefits for the steward were too substantial to describe.
However, would Mu Dade do something like this?
