These people must have been prepared, in addition to eggs, they also threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten turnips at him......

In addition, the citizens who bought salt before couldn't stand the instigation, and they also began to protest, and some even began to say that if the price of salt was not reduced, they would smash the shop.

The scene was a little out of control for a while.

At this time, Wen Tang, who was standing upstairs, immediately turned around to put on his clothes and hurriedly ran to the first floor after watching Zhou Yunli being smashed.

Because He Xiangsheng appeared to help stop the troublesome citizens, Zhou Yunli had to turn around and clean up the rotten eggs on his face.

He also laughed self-deprecatingly, not thinking that he would have today.

After shaking off the egg mucus in his hand, he inadvertently raised his head, but saw Wen Tang standing not far away looking at himself who was slightly embarrassed.

Wen Tang had just woken up, and Zhou Yunli was afraid that something would happen to her, so he walked over and said in a relaxed tone: "You hurry back to the room to rest, I am here, I can handle it." ”

"Fourth master, those people should come prepared, you can't handle it." Wen Tang just didn't want him to be in a predicament anymore and be smashed by those people like a target.

But Zhou Yunli somehow heard this at this time, and immediately patted his chest and said: "If I can't even handle this little wind and waves, how can I still be the commander of the private sector." ”

"Go, go, you hurry back to the room and rest, I'll take care of it all here."

Zhou Yunli said as he pushed He Ma Wentang to the second floor, and then turned around to deal with the people.

"This aunt, listen to me explain to you......"

"Uncle, things are not as ...... as you think"

Zhou Yunli blocked the citizens who were about to rush into the store to make trouble, and at the same time bitterly explained the disadvantages of buying and selling illicit salt.

It's just that he overestimated the long-term vision of these Shengdou small people.

Everyone is dragging their families and mouths, who has time to listen to him talk about the empty big-headed theories of the world, the country, and the people.

"Only immediate interests are interests, and if you don't lower the price of salt today, we won't let you do business."

The troublemakers led everyone to rush to the shop, if it weren't for Zhou Yunli and He Xiangsheng desperately blocking the door of the shop, the gang would probably be able to rush in soon.

At that time, it will not be as simple as just making noise about reducing the price, beating, smashing, and robbing, these people can do it.

Wen Tang walked to the crowd at this time and said, "Everyone listen to me, it's actually ......."

Unexpectedly, her words were quickly drowned out in the cacophony.

There was no way, in order to make the group quiet, Wen Tang immediately walked to the side and picked up two empty salt jars.

But after hearing only the explosion of "pop", the crowd on the opposite side began to be a little quieter, but there were still people shouting loudly behind them.

No, she had to slam the other salt shaker in her hand down again.

At this time, everyone was completely quiet.

Wen Tang walked to the crowd at this time, looked at the people who were blocked by Zhou Yunli and said, "Listen, everyone, the price of ten yuan of salt is as of today, until it is sold out."

By tomorrow, the price of salt will rise to 15 wen a catty. ”

"What! Fifteen Wen? Are you mistaken? ”

Everyone thought that after making such a fuss, the price of salt would drop somewhat.

Who knew that instead of reducing the price, the price of this shop increased.

Everyone felt that they were embarrassed to be played by monkeys, and then they were annoyed and angry: "You colluded with the officers and soldiers to suppress the illegal salt, and now you are raising the price of salt, which is obviously bullying us poor people and not wanting us to live." ”

"Since you don't want us to live, then we'll fight with you to the death!"

Everyone said that they were going to continue to rush in, and just when Zhou Yunli felt that he was about to be overwhelmed, he only heard Wen Tang behind him calmly raise his voice and say: "In the future, as long as I am still in the day, the price of salt in this shop will always be fifteen wen."

It will never go down, it will never go up.

If you like to eat private salt, you can. Then prepare for a big prison beforehand.

Nowadays, the war at the border is becoming more and more intense, and in the near future, our emperor will definitely issue a decree to prohibit smuggling and banditry.

At that time, in addition to arresting those salt bandits, the second thing that the people who want to arrest them is you people who are looking forward to eating illegal salt all day long. ”

After Wen Tang's intimidation, everyone began to look at each other, and the anger in their hearts turned into fear.

But some people said dissatisfiedly: "We ordinary people just want a benefit, if you don't have a high price of salt, we won't buy private salt."

The salt is coarse and dirty, and there's a lot of sand in it, and you think we're happy with it.

But as long as we can afford that money, how can we not know the quality of official salt. ”

"Yes, yes. We, the common people, also have to live. ”

Everyone's mood at this time slowly changed from fear to complaining.

Wen Tang is not unaware of the suffering of the common people, so even if she increases the price, it will only rise to 15 Wen, and it is not like the salt price on the market that has reached 20 Wen or 25 Wen.

Seeing that everyone was no longer excited, Wen Tang also walked over at this time to comfort: "I understand everyone's suffering. But I would like to tell you that although the price of salt has been raised, the price of rice in our shop will be lowered to 20 wen from tomorrow.

Like salt, as long as I stay in this shop for a day, the price will never increase. ”

"You, you're telling you the truth?"

Everyone was afraid that they had heard it wrong, so they couldn't help but ask.

After seeing Wen Tang nodding earnestly, everyone immediately cheered happily.

The group of people who were still aggressive just now seemed to have changed their faces, and they became a lot more gentle and respectful to Wen Tang.

We all know that this rice is an indispensable thing for the common people like salt, and this salt may only be used when stir-frying, and a pound of salt can be eaten for a while.

But this rice is different, a few people in a family will eat a pound of white rice within two or three days, the cost is so great that the poor people can only use rice to cook porridge, or put sweet potatoes and the like in it, and they can barely fill their stomachs with soup and water.

The price of rice in Jiangcheng can be sold for 35 wen a catty nowadays, but what is sold in this salt shop is Huizhou rice with white flowers, and it is at least 40 wen in other shops.

It sells 20 wen here, which is really benefiting the people.

The people thanked Wen Tang for a while, and then they couldn't wait to buy salt and rice, and no one wanted to make trouble again.

Wen Tang saw that the people's anger had been calmed down, and he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Who knew that Zhou Yunli suddenly rushed towards her and shouted, "Be careful!" ”

Wen Tang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

Zhou Yunli stood in front of her at this time, accompanied by a muffled snort, and after seeing the bright red blood stains on his head, Wen Tang knew that he was almost attacked.

Looking at a small stone on the ground, when the few people who left in a hurry outside the door before, Wen Tang began to react: it must be Wen Changzhi's bastard who wanted to take revenge on her, so he found someone to make trouble, and injured her.

Wen Tang originally wanted He Xiangsheng to catch up and stop them, but they ran too fast and soon disappeared, so she gave up.

At this time, Zhou Yunli stood in front of him, and his two eyebrows were almost twisted together.

Wen Tang saw the blood on his forehead pouring out, and his heart suddenly hung up. Then he asked Mama He to help him go to the back hall to sit down, while he ran out of the door and hurried to call the doctor.
