Chapter 8 Salt Policy

The government's salt policy is about to come down, I thought it was a very good joy for the people, but I didn't expect the people who heard the salt policy to be very depressed, and some people thought that this time the salt policy would get better, but it still disappointed the people.

"Hey, this year's Yance is still worse than before, and I was very happy when I released this news. Now after listening to it, I feel that it is better not to know, so I get such a little salt, how to live, and the days are getting harder and harder day by day. A plainly dressed ordinary person said, looking very bitter in his heart.

Look at the other people, one is sadder than the other, some shed tears, and said bitterness in their mouths. But the salt policy of the imperial court has come down, and no one can change it, even if the people feel that they are suffering, they can only hold it in their hearts, they have no choice, and the court has no choice. In order to maintain the present life, this can only be done.

"Have you heard, salt is very short now, just like this salt policy, we are short of the common people, and the court is also short of it. So I think the imperial court is good enough, I heard that in some places, the imperial court does not distribute salt at all. "There was an intellectual, who was on the sidelines and said to the people. When the common people heard the intellectual's words, their eyes widened, and they could only nod their heads and continue to listen to the intellectual.

Some of the people went home sparsely and brought the news to their relatives and friends. Some ordinary people were chatting outside, but all they talked about was salt from beginning to end.

This time, it didn't seem so sad. After all, there was no private salt in the imperial court, and the salt was distributed to the common people, so that there is a shortage of salt in the imperial court now.

The imperial court knew that many people would be dissatisfied with this salt policy, so in order to make the people feel satisfied, they thought about it for a long time, and finally formulated a series of salt policies for the people to stabilize the people's hearts.

"Miss, Miss, I've inquired and I've come back." I saw a girl hurriedly enter Nalan Jin's room, it turned out that Nalan Jin asked her own slave to inquire about the salt ce that was just released today. Unexpectedly, the slave's efficiency was quite high, so she came back in such a while.

"Tell me, what's the salt strategy like this year?" Nalan Jin said softly.

"I heard that although there is a shortage of salt this year, the salt policy formulated by the imperial court is very popular with the people. The imperial court was also short of salt, and so were the common people. That's all there is to it, and I'll ask you all about it, miss. The slave said with a fluttering eyebrow.

After Nalan Jin heard about it, she praised the slave and maid a few words, and asked the slave to call her own grandfather Nalan Zhen.

The slave nodded, and went out of the room. came to Nalan Zhen's room, knocked on the door, and then said politely: "Grandfather, our young lady has something to tell you, and the young lady said that you should come to her room quickly to discuss matters." Nalan Zhen agreed, and the slave left first.

After a while, Nalan Zhen came out of his own room, thinking to himself: What is the matter with this Nalan Jin looking for me, let me go in such a hurry, could it be that there is something important? Nalan Zhen didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly came to Nalan Jin's room.

Nalan Zhen entered Nalan Jin's room, looked at the slave next to him, and then asked, "What important things do you want to say about coming to me?" ”

Nalan Jin asked the slave maid to take a chair and let Nalan Zhen sit down.

"Have you heard about this year's salt policy, I heard that the court and the common people are very short of salt. And that's all we have in our house. Nalan Jin said.

Without waiting for Nalan Jin to finish speaking, Nalan Zhen understood Nalan Jin's thoughts, but he was not sure. I thought to myself: What is this girl thinking? She doesn't want to give our family's salt to the court and the people, it must be so, otherwise she would have something to do with me. Nalan Zhen glanced at Nalan Jin, and Nalan Jin smiled.

"I think my grandfather should also know what I mean, so I said straight to the point, I want you to take out the salt in our house and distribute it all to the people and the court, after all, we have so much salt, don't worry. But those ordinary people were scared. Dividing out the salt is also good for us. If the emperor knows about this, he will definitely get the title of the emperor. Nalan Jin said with a smile.

After Nalan Zhen heard this, he was very curious, and he didn't understand why he could get the title of emperor by sharing the salt. What Nalan Zhen was afraid of was that he didn't get a reward for the salt in the end, so he hesitated. Nalan Jin was next to persuade Nalan Zhen, Nalan Zhen thought about Nalan Jin's various behaviors before, and decided that it would be better to do it, if it really succeeded, wouldn't it be a great thing for himself and his family.

"Grandfather, when the emperor gives you a title, you don't have to be afraid of others." Nalan Jin said.

Nalan Zhen smiled and thought to himself: I have such a granddaughter who is filial to me, and she has always thought about me and thought about me when she has good things, she is really a good granddaughter of mine.

Nalan Zhen grabbed Nalan Jin's hand tightly, and then looked at her own granddaughter with very doting eyes.

"By the way, how did you come up with this, it seems that grandfather is not as smart as you." Nalan Zhen said curiously.

"Grandfather, think about it, now is the time when the imperial court is short of salt, and they want to give salt to the common people, but they don't. And our family happens to have salt, at this time we send charcoal in the snow, the emperor will definitely be grateful to us, and we helped him with such a big thing, he can only give us a reward. Nalan Jin said reasonably.

After listening to this, Nalan Zhen nodded, he had to admire his own daughter's talent, she must be a smart person in the future. Nalan Zhen doesn't have to worry about Nalan Jin, with Nalan Jin's talent, he can make Nalan Jin a cut above others.

Nalan Zhen secretly wanted to leave a box of family property to Nalan Jin, and thought to himself: My granddaughter thinks so much about her, and it just so happens that I don't know who to leave a box of family property in the family, now think about it, let's leave it to Nalan Jin, after all, she is a person worthy of trust.

"Do you know about a box of property?" Nalan Zhen looked at Nalan Jin and said.

Nalan Jin shook her head, she didn't know about it, she had never heard anyone mention it. And Nalan Zhen also asked Nalan Jin if he knew, and didn't say anything else.

Nalan Jin was full of doubts and wanted to ask Nalan Zhen again, but seeing that Nalan Zhen didn't mean to say anything more, he shut up and chatted with Nalan Zhen about other things.

But they didn't know that Nalan Zhen's question about Nalan Jin's family property happened to be heard clearly by Pei Shi, who was passing by and stopped to eavesdrop.
