Su Yang sighed.
You still have to buy it.
If his guess is correct,
Next, Beiping Prefecture will fall into a shortage of supplies!
Even if it’s a little more expensive now, it’s still better than having no salt in the future!
"Shopkeeper, can the price be lower?"
“My fellow villagers, it’s not easy for everyone!”
With little money, Su Yang could only smile.
When Zhang Laosan, the shopkeeper of the salt shop, heard this, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Yang contemptuously. He saw that his clothes were washed to a pulp, and he looked like a poor man.
Seeing that many people were watching the excitement, the salt shop owner opened his mouth and cursed.
"Who are you scolding, kid?"
"Who the hell is talking to you, a fellow countryman from a shabby village?"
"If you don't have money to buy any salt, go away and don't delay my business!"
Su Yang: "???"
Am I crazy?
So arrogant?
What about the promised simplicity of Ming Dynasty folk customs?
You stupid profiteer!
Seeing that Su Yang was still stunned, the shopkeeper of the salt shop picked his teeth and sneered.
"What? Is it too expensive to sell this salt to you for a hundred cents?"
"Why should we eat salt if we can't afford it? Do you think I opened a salt shop to do charity?"
"Tsk, tsk, if you don't have money, you can buy mineral salt. Mineral salt is cheap, only ten cents a pound!"
Mineral salt?
When the people around him heard this, their expressions changed.
That mineral salt is poisonous salt, it will kill you if you eat it!
"This old man is really nothing!"
"That mineral salt is poisonous salt, it will kill people, and he even asked people to buy it!"
"Profiteer! A real profiteer!"
"There is no way, who made his uncle the master bookkeeper!"
Su Yang listened quietly to everyone's discussion, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Mineral salt?
poisonous?
Wouldn't it be nice to refine it a bit?
Su Yang suddenly had an idea and said with a smile.
"May I ask the shopkeeper, do you have mineral salt for sale here?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him like a fool.
Zhang Laosan glanced at Su Yang with pity in his eyes.
"No, it's right there, ten cents per catty, no negotiation!"
Su Yang took a closer look and was immediately confused.
In his memory, edible salt is generally snow-white, in the form of tiny particles, and crystal clear.
However, the salt in this earthen jar is white with a hint of yellow and forms clumps. It looks similar to the shape of rock sugar, except that it is not as white as rock sugar and has a hint of black.
What the hell is this damn thing, is it really edible?
Zhang Laosan is really not a thing. If he sells this damn thing to the common people, is he really not afraid of eating dead people?
Su Yang sighed secretly and counted his coins, no more, no less, exactly one hundred coins.
"Shopkeeper, give me ten pounds."
"Hey, okay, okay!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, he actually bought it!
Even Zhang Laosan lost his temper and immediately asked the clerk to pack the mineral salt for Su Yang with a smile.
If you put this mineral salt here, you can't sell it at all. Fortunately, I met a fool today!
"Ten pounds of mineral salt, I'll charge you a hundred cents, the money will be paid in full, please keep it!"
Zhang Laosan handed the mineral salt to Su Yang, and immediately took Su Yang's money bag and started counting it, for fear that he would regret it.
People around me have reminded me that mineral salt is poisonous and will kill people if I eat it. This kid still wants to buy it. What can I do?
Such fools are really rare!
If only we could meet each other every day!
Seeing Su Yang really buying mineral salt, some of the people watching suddenly became anxious.
"Young man, you can't eat that mineral salt, it will kill you!"
"That's right, young man, it's okay if you don't eat salt, but you just don't have the strength. You can survive if you just endure it!"
"This old man is really a murderer. He raises the price of salt and sells poisonous salt. He will die a good death!"
"Hush! You can't say this! His uncle is the master bookkeeper..."
Some old people tried to persuade him kindly, but they also cursed the salt shop owner.
Zhang Laosan didn't care at all and sneered: "He is stupid enough to seek death. What does it have to do with me?"
"You unscrupulous people, do you want to buy salt? If you don't buy it, get out of here. Don't affect my business!"
Damn, you have an uncle who is the bookkeeper, so he is so crazy?
Su Yang looked at the scene in front of him speechlessly.
There was an uncle who was the chief bookkeeper, and he dared to openly raise the price of salt to make huge profits, and even sold poisonous salt to the people!
For such a profiteer, when Zhu Yuanzhang was still there, Zhang Laosan and his uncle, the chief bookkeeper, would definitely be skinned and cramped!
It's a pity that the current emperor is Zhu Yunwen, the scholarly emperor who was stupid at reading!
On the surface, he promoted benevolent government and good deeds, but in fact they all became a means of corruption and money-making for officials. However, he, Zhu Yunwen, was still complacent about this and was immersed in the praise of him as a benevolent king and sage from both the government and the public.
The people living at the bottom really have no way to survive!
What kind of peaceful age is this?
Su Yang sighed, turned around and left without paying any attention to everyone's comments.
Mineral salt is poisonous. Take it home and refine it before you can eat it.
If there are too many, you can take the opportunity to sell them to earn some money, purchase a batch of supplies, and run away with your little wife!
It’s impossible not to run away!
I can’t stay in Beiping Mansion any longer!
That bastard King Zhu Di of Yan is hoarding food and supplies like crazy, without caring about the lives of the people!
The bastard Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen was even more ruthless. He directly cut off the supply of grain and grass to Beiping Mansion and completely ignored the tens of millions of people in Beiping Mansion!
From the beginning, they never thought about how the tens of millions of people in Beiping Prefecture would survive the coming cold winter without food and supplies!
They only care about how to deal with resistance and how to kill each other!
In the eyes of Huang Guizhou these days, there is only throne and power, and there is no room for anything else.
A wise king?
Benevolent Lord?
One emperor through the ages?
It's all fucking bullshit!
This shitty world doesn't even give the people any way to survive!
Su Yang carried the grain and mineral salt and hurried home.
Although he is now a gangster and cannot open a way to lead to other state capitals, Fangshan is full of mountains and forests. He takes his young wife and hides in the deep mountains and old forests. With Su Yang's ability to survive in the wild, he will not be hungry until Jingnan comes. It's not too late to come out after the service is over.
By then, due to the spread of the war, there will definitely be a lot of refugees, and the court will naturally arrange for them to return to their hometowns to farm.
Su Yang can also get the yellow list of household registration and get rid of his status as a black household!
This is a last resort!
Su Yang was very disappointed with this Ming Dynasty after truly seeing the fighting methods between Yan King Zhu Di and the new king Zhu Yunzhen.
Those in power don't care at all about the life and death of the people at the bottom, and the so-called peaceful age is just a joke.
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, and the Emperor of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen, are both bastards who only know how to fight for power and gain!
The people at the bottom are worthless in their eyes, and they won’t even care if they die!
If Su Yang wants to survive in the Ming Dynasty with his wife, he can only rely on himself.
The world is tough and life is not easy!
Running away is imperative!
