Mrs. Zhao Sun nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, high official, I will definitely tell you everything!"
Then she touched the oil paper bag in her hand, confirmed that the salt was still in her hand, turned back three times step by step, and said goodbye to the shopkeeper with a huge thank you. Moreover, she walked a few steps on crutches before shouting loudly: "Folks! The official salt from Liansheng Salt Store only sells for 60 cents per pound, go and buy it!"
Her voice didn't sound very loud in the noisy street. And no one paid attention to what an old woman was shouting! There are many people like this who are driven crazy by life, who cares! So Zhao Sun even turned the corner and no one paid attention! But she still kept shouting with the loudest voice!
Finally, when someone heard that the price of a pound of salt for a superior official was sixty cents, some people became uneasy! When someone grabbed Zhao Sunshi and asked her if this was true, Zhao Sunshi immediately swore that what she said was all true! And he also showed others the salt in his hand.
Those who see the salt may not believe it, but there is still time to rush to see if it is real. Oh my God, because there are a large number of troops stationed in this place, it is naturally a big user of salt, so the price of salt is always higher than other places!
In ordinary years, a pound of salt costs more than 120 Wen, but when it is expensive, it costs 150 Wen per pound, which is nothing! And even the private salt is not less than 80 cents per pound! But now there is a salt store that sells official salt for 60 cents per pound. This is really an eye-opener for God!
But I guess the government wouldn't be so kind to sell cheap salt. Maybe this old woman is cheating. But it’s only a few steps away anyway, so if you’re deceived, you’ll be deceived! But if it’s true, wouldn’t it be a profit? So under Zhao Sun's constant shouting, more and more people rushed to Yanhang to have a look.
When Zhao Sun passed through the city gate shouting all the way, almost half of the people in Datong City were alarmed and rushed to the Liansheng Salt Store. Because someone has already reported back at this time that what the old woman said is true, it is really sixty cents per pound of salt!
Not only that, people who had bought genuine and cheap salt spontaneously joined the publicity campaign when they rushed home, calling more people to buy salt, so that an endless stream of people filled the whole street. It was blocked, and the government had to dispatch servants and helpers to maintain order!
The local gentry and wealthy families naturally don't care about the small amount of money they spend to buy salt, but for ordinary people, this is a big deal! After all, there are so many ordinary people in this world, and they all want to buy as much salt as possible with the mentality of picking up bargains. God knows if there will be any cheap salt for sale after today? What if the cheap salt is sold out and I can’t buy it?
With this mentality, more and more people naturally gathered! By the time the sun goes down, almost everyone in Datong City has been there! The shopkeeper and the waiter in the store were so tired that their tongues actually stuck out! All of them looked pale and their voices were hoarse! Even their clothes showed signs of being torn, but fortunately they all survived intact!
After seeing off the last group of people, the shopkeeper picked up a few empty salt bags from the ground and threw them on the edge of the door. He sat down on them and never got up again! Seeing the shopkeeper sitting down, several waiters also sat down. But they don't have to worry about much, some even lie down directly on the ground!
It’s no wonder that all of them behaved evilly. After having breakfast, they were busy until the evening, constantly carrying bags of salt, weighing them, collecting money, and shouting at people who bought salt, They have been completely defeated!
At this time, the shopkeeper said lazily: "Da Zhuang, Er Niu, you two go to the restaurant opposite to order some dishes and come back."
He was answered by a groaning sound, and everyone would rather lie on the ground and starve than get up. The shopkeeper looked at them and cursed loudly: "A bunch of bastards!" You can’t do anything, and you can’t eat anything without any leftovers! "
But the waiters seemed to know him very well, and they actually retorted: "If you're not an asshole, then go ahead and order! You're the shopkeeper!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he became even more furious and cursed: "Damn it, you know that I am the shopkeeper and how dare you disobey me? If you are still in the military camp, ask the military judge to lock you up in the dark room immediately!"
It can be heard from their conversation that these people themselves are people arranged by Wu Anjun. Because Guan Xiaoheiwu is the only one in the entire Ming army
punishment measures! And judging from the way they spoke, maybe these people were originally from the same team.
Everyone was noisy until the end, and the shopkeeper got up and went to the restaurant opposite to order some food. As a result, when the food was delivered, several waiters immediately jumped up and down, stuffing food into their mouths desperately! And the shopkeeper's food is a little better than theirs, not that he is elegant, but that he has already got some food in the restaurant to fill his stomach when ordering!
After finishing the meal, a few people sat lazily around the table chatting. A waiter said, "Boss, do you know how much salt you sold today?"
The shopkeeper looked at the other clerk and said, "You are in charge of the warehouse. How many bags of salt were shipped out today?"
The man in charge of the warehouse shook his head and said, "I don't know at all! Jin Ting is carrying out bags one by one. How can he count them? We will know when we count them again at dawn tomorrow!"
Another waiter said longingly: "Shopkeeper, I think it's better to close the business tomorrow, or just leave one or two people on duty! Almost everyone in Datong City came to buy salt today, and I'm afraid they won't be able to do it for half a month." There’s business!”
His words were echoed by everyone, and they even started discussing which unlucky guy would be on duty? But just when they were discussing in full swing, they heard the shopkeeper's sneer!
The clerk in charge of the warehouse said strangely: "Shopkeeper, why are you sneering like that? You're laughing so scary!"
The shopkeeper said disdainfully: "Damn it, now I finally know why the higher ups made me the shopkeeper and you became the assistants, because you are all... What did the commander-in-chief say? Yes, pig heads! "
After hearing this, several of the guys were unhappy! Everyone was shouting and estimating how much salt they had sold today, and according to their calculations, more than 80% of the population in Datong City had come to buy salt, and the remaining 20% were soldiers in the military camp and would not come out at all. Buy salt!
After they finished their estimation, they all looked at the shopkeeper angrily. The shopkeeper smiled strangely and said, "I saw that many of the people who came to buy salt today were from the surrounding villages. Do you think they would tell the villagers that there is cheap salt in Datong when they go back? And, after all, Are there more people in Datong city, or are there more people in all the villages outside the city combined?"
