Ge Yong's two cloudy eyes were full of light, and he looked directly at Shen Liancheng with a look of expectation. [No pop-ups. 】

Shen Liancheng smiled, and told him generously: "Bai Yan lives in the cave all year round, and he is willing to climb out only when it snows and at night......"

"You mean you want me to wait for the snow to melt?" Ge Yong was still acute, and after listening to the words, he said anxiously: "That's not good!" When the snow melts, my snow lotus withers. ”

"Not really." Shen Liancheng still smiled, shook his head very patiently and said, "What I want to tell Doctor Ge is that it has such a habit, it likes cold and heat. Have people go up with torches to drive them back to the cave. In this way, the two snow lotuses can be picked. ”

Ge Yong was overjoyed, but soon said with a melancholy look: "The person I invited is injured...... Alas! They're good cliff climbers! It cost me thirty taels of silver to get it. ”

"Isn't there another one who isn't hurt?" Shen Liancheng glanced at the man who was safe and sound.

"How can I do it alone?" The man didn't want to.

"I have a few more here." Shen Liancheng's gaze swept over Hong Qi and several other guards, "They all have some fists and kicks, they should be able to help." Saying that, he began to arrange the duties of Hong Qi and the others, "Hong Qi, you are responsible for picking snow lotus, and the others are responsible for driving Bai Yin away with torches, and when climbing the cliff, listen to this brother's guidance." ”

"That's a few ropes left." The man said again.

"There is a farmer at the bottom of the mountain, and I will ask people to pick it up." Shen Liancheng said, and Hong Qi cleverly ordered one person to go down the mountain. She continued: "Excuse me, please teach my people what they should pay attention to when climbing the cliff, pick snow lotus, that brother Tai treats the injury on his hand, and the medicine money comes from me." ”

Shen Liancheng has said this, and that person has no reason not to agree.

The ropes were quickly ready, and everyone went about their duties, and soon climbed up the cliff.

The people brought by Shen Liancheng were all athletic, and the two people who were good at cliff climbing were also amazed when they saw it. After a short time, Hong Qi successfully picked the two white snow lotuses and came down.

Ge Yong was overjoyed when he got the snow lotus, he was simply ecstatic, and kept saying: "I finally picked it!" Finally got it! I finally picked this last herb! "Don't thank Shen Liancheng for saying a word, he will go down the mountain with his own people.

Yuhe hurriedly stopped him and said unhappily, "Why did Doctor Ge leave like this?" Don't thank my son-in-law for a word? ”

Ge Yong was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Shen Liancheng vigilantly, "How do you want me to thank you?" I don't have any silver, I've given it to those two people! Suddenly looked at the snow lotus in his hand, unconsciously hid it behind him, and continued: "If you want this, then you can't do it!" Don't even think about it! ”

"I'm going to ask you to help me look at a man who has been hit in the head and stimulated mentally, and is a little crazy and stupid." Shen Liancheng didn't go around the bush and told him bluntly.

"I'm not free these days!" Ge Yong said categorically, thought for a while, and said, "You can come to me in half a month!" ”

Half a month, a bit of time, but it may not be impossible to wait. So, Shen Liancheng agreed, "Half a month later, I will go to Gefu to invite you." ”

"I know that there is no one for nothing." Ge Yong muttered, turned around and went down the mountain.

Yuhe is dissatisfied and wants to reason with it.

"He's right." Shen Liancheng stopped Yuhe and felt that Ge Yong was very interesting. Then she instructed Hong Qi, "After returning to the city, you go to Chen Guogong's mansion and explain today's events, so that they don't be anxious and make their own decisions to disturb Doctor Ge again." ”

"Yes." Hong Qi answered honestly.

Yuhe on the side snickered.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Liancheng looked at her inexplicably.

Yuhe hurriedly shook his head, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

She didn't dare to say that she was looking forward to Shen Liancheng and Chen Xiang's friendship. Shen Liancheng helped Chen Xiang solve problems in this way, she felt that if she continued to develop like this, she would always be able to give birth to some affection.

"Don't think about it." Shen Liancheng guessed her thoughts, dropped the words sullenly, and walked down the mountain.

Back in Kyoto City, it was already dark. There were many pedestrians on the streets, even more than ever. However, they are all going in one direction. It's kind of weird.

Yuhe grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened?" Where are you all going? ”

"Go buy salt!" The man who was caught was in a hurry to leave, and spoke very quickly, "The salt merchants everywhere are out of stock, and they will soon run out of salt to eat!" With that, she broke free from Yuhe's shackles and ran away.

The salt of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was actually controlled by the government. The government appoints the salt merchants below to transport, buy and sell, and it is said that there will be no shortage of goods. After all, if you don't eat salt for a few days, people will become weak and sick, and the government has strict control over the production of salt. How can there be less salt?

Shen Liancheng felt that something had happened suddenly and strangely. Thinking back to the previous life, nothing like this happened, I couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly instructed Hong Qi: "You send a clever person to take a look." ”

"Yes."

When she returned to the Taifu Mansion, she found that the Taifu Mansion had also sent someone out to buy a large bag of salt.

The purchasers also complained: "It's too expensive, ten taels of silver a catty, it's sky-high!" ”

And it's ten taels of silver, and it's good to be able to buy these.

The people sent out by Hong Qi also reported when they came back: "The people who queued up to buy salt lined up for two streets. Some say that the price of salt will increase tomorrow, at least twice as much as today. ”

"Twenty taels?" Yuhe's eyes widened, "Can ordinary people still afford to eat salt?" ”

What went wrong? Shen Liancheng fell into deep thought.

The problem is certainly not in the production of salt. If there was a problem with the output, the imperial court should have taken measures long ago. So why is salt suddenly in short supply?

"Is this true not only in Kyoto, but everywhere?" Shen Liancheng asked again.

"Yes, son-in-law."

What never happened in the previous life! Does it have anything to do with the three of them?

Shen Liancheng suddenly thought of Shen Ruxiu, and couldn't help but ask Yuhe: "What kind of business do the two ladies and the Wang family do?" Can you do a salt business? ”

Yuhe shook her head, this question stumped her, "The slave really doesn't know...... The slave went and inquired. ”

"Go ahead! Go and inquire clearly, what business the Wang family has been doing recently. ”

"Oh." Yuhe was inexplicable, and ran out overnight in response.

Shen Liancheng only knew that since Shen Ruxiu married Wang Chongjing, the Wang family's business in various places has improved greatly. They can make money when there is a locust plague, they can make money when there is a drought or flood, and they can make money when there is bad diplomatic relations. When others dare not do it, they dare to do it, and when others rush to it, they can always be one step ahead. Isn't all this due to Shen Ruxiu's ability to predict the future?

So, will this "salt shortage" be related to Shen Ruxiu? (To be continued.) )
