On the first day of the price reduction, the citizens of North Lane still didn't believe that the price of salt would drop to such a point. I'm afraid that all I sell is bad salt and stinky salt.

It wasn't until they observed for a few days and found that there were large bags of salt transported in front of the shop every day, that everyone let down their guard and entered the salt shop.

Eight cents and a pound of official salt, what is the difference between that and robbing.

Within a few days, the shop was sold out of several large bags of salt, along with the few bags of rice.

In the past few days, Mama He has been the busiest in the shop, moving salt and rice back and forth, selling salt and rice, and she is so busy that she doesn't have time to nag Wen Tang.

It wasn't until all the salt and rice were sold out that she had to say to Wen Tang: "Third girl, although we have sold a lot of salt these days, all of them are loss-making transactions, so we can't consume them like this." ”

Wen Tang's father, Wen Mengting, was already disgusted with her, and of course he would not take the initiative to give her the salt in the salt farm.

And all this salt was bought by herself at the original price of the old shop on West Street.

The original price of 20 wen salt is now sold for 8 wen, and He Ma is very worried.

And in addition to worrying, what is even more incomprehensible is that the shop still sells rice.

Isn't it helping those rice shops make money when they sell salt?

With a lot of questions, Mother He wanted to ask clearly, but Wen Tang just took her hand and smiled, and didn't say anything else.

Mother He had no choice but to give up and stop asking.

And the reason why Wen Tang chose to do this is also something that can't be helped.

In order to suppress Wen Changzhi's private salt, she had to give up her original fight.

For the time being, she can't publicize Wen Changzhi's sale of illicit salt, so she can't let Mama He know, so she can only reassure Mama He not to worry.

After settling the accounts, she was going to take some silver and go to the old shop to buy some goods.

As everyone knows, there is suddenly an uninvited customer in the store today.

"Second Young Master Wen, if Yaxing comes to our shop like this, don't be a weasel who doesn't have a good heart to give New Year's greetings to chickens!"

In order to prevent Wen Tang from being harassed by Wen Changzhi, Mother He immediately rolled up her sleeves and blocked the door.

Wen Changzhi pushed her away at this time, and as soon as she entered the shop, she let people smash things everywhere.

After seeing Wen Tang, he walked over again and said quietly: "Plague God, I warn you, starting tomorrow, if you dare to continue to sell salt at a low price, I will make you look good." ”

In the face of Wen Changzhi's menacing, Wen Tang was relatively calm.

She said: "Since my father gave me a shop, how to sell salt is my business." It doesn't make sense, I have to listen to you! ”

Wen Tang's words came out, and Wen Changzhi's face sank.

He angrily pushed Wen Tang and said, "What Lao Tzu asks you to do, you have to do it, do you hear?" If you don't do what I say, be careful that Lao Tzu burns down your shop! ”

Wen Changzhi thought that if he released cruel words and threatened her, this woman would be able to obediently comply.

Who would have thought, as soon as he finished threatening, it was Wen Tang's turn to demonstrate.

I saw Wen Tang glaring at a pair of eyes and said, "Okay! I'll see if you dare to put this fire. I told you that not only will I not listen to you, but that tomorrow the price of my salt will continue to decrease.

Sell eight wen today, sell seven wen tomorrow, and sell six wen the day after tomorrow.

I'll sit at the door and watch you light the torch! ”

"You!"

Wen Changzhi expected that this woman would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.

Invulnerable, not afraid of fire and water, it was the first time he had seen such a powerful woman.

In this Jiangcheng, only Wen Changzhi has always been intimidating, and he has never turned around to be scared by others.

Now how can he be willing to fall in front of this woman.

Wen Changzhi raised his hand at this time, and after a while, he only heard two "pop" sounds, and a clear palm print immediately appeared on Wen Tang's left and right faces.

"I want to see if you, the plague god, have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and go against Lao Tzu, I'm afraid you won't die!"

After that, he wanted to slap Wen Tang again, but he didn't want his hand to suddenly hold in the air and couldn't move.

turned his head, only to find that Zhou Yunli appeared at some point and was grabbing his arm at this time.

As soon as he saw Zhou Yunli, Wen Changzhi's arrogance diminished a little.

"Yuan, it turned out to be the fourth master." Wen Changzhi hurriedly took his hand back.

At this time, Zhou Yunli swept around with a look, and Wen Changzhi randomly ordered these people to stop smashing.

Seeing Zhou Yunli, Wen Changzhi was like a mouse seeing a cat, Wen Tang saw these changes in his eyes, and became curious about Zhou Yunli's identity again.

What kind of person can make Wen Changzhi afraid?

"Are you still staying here, do you want the fourth master and me to accompany you to drink tea and chat?"

Zhou Yunli stood there with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.

Wen Changzhi immediately sneered and said, "Fourth Master, I'll leave right away, I'll leave right away." ”

Wen Changzhi immediately beckoned his subordinates to prepare to leave, and before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Wen Tang viciously.

Just after Wen Changzhi left, Zhou Yunli asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

"Huh?" Wen Tang was slightly distracted.

Because I was curious about Zhou Yunli's identity just now, I forgot that I was slapped for a while.

was reminded by him like this, and he immediately felt a layer of heat on his face.

Wen Tang had to cover his face and nodded.

In fact, since Wen Changzhi came in to make trouble, Zhou Yunli had already sat in the teahouse opposite the shop, watching the people in the shop while drinking tea.

Just now, Wen Tang said cruel words to Wen Changzhi, and he heard every word.

From the bottom of his heart, he was a little more curious about this seemingly weak woman.

There are still women in the world who have such courage, and he can't help but be impressed.

Wen Tang rubbed his face and suddenly asked, "Why is the fourth master in this place?" ”

Zhou Yunli smiled faintly and said: "I have always been leisurely, walking around, passing by the neighborhood, I didn't expect to see a good show." ”

"I heard that your shop is doing good business these days." Zhou Yunli said as he looked at the short-sold salt bags on the ground.

Wen Tang nodded.

Zhou Yunli asked again: "Isn't your eight-cent salt price used to suppress smuggler salt dealers?" ”

Wen Tang nodded again.

Zhou Yunli said again: "You are obviously killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred." The grasshopper shakes the tree and hits the stone with its egg. ”

Regarding his evaluation, Wen Tang seemed very indifferent.

"So what." Then he ignored him, and went to gather up his things on the ground.

Zhou Yunli caught up and continued to ask, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?" Wen Tang asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's the salt bandits, the ones who are making trouble for you."

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Wen Tang nodded, but she turned to look at Zhou Yunli again and said, "But I can't do nothing." The existence of these salt bandits seems to provide convenience for the common people. But in fact, it is harming the interests of the people themselves. ”

"If the state has no tax money, there will be no silver to supply to the soldiers.

If you don't have supplies, how can you fight the enemy. If you can't fight, the enemy will come in, and it will not be the common people who will die in the end.

Little ants, at least the idea of regretting the tree. The most terrible thing is that everyone ends up completely for personal interests, not for the sake of the overall situation. ”

What Wen Tang said was completely what he thought in his heart.

She suppressed illegal salt, not only to make her shop survive so that she could get her father's favor, and finally go back to help Changping, she also had a sense of righteousness in her heart.

It's just that she is a weak woman after all, and that's all she can do.
