The East Compound looks disorganized, but in fact, there is a very strict management system, and as long as things are done according to the system, it is difficult to have disputes. Moreover, the people who traded with the Shen family were all honest tenants and businessmen, and most of them had easy-going personalities.

Zhou Sen surrounded the past, but it was a tenant of the Shen family clamoring to exchange the excess grain for salt, but Zhu Guanzi had already spoken, and the salt stored in the East Compound was strictly forbidden to be purchased and exchanged, and even the shops under the Shen family were not allowed to transfer salt from the East Compound.

In the midst of the quarrel, some tenants who paid rent came one after another, and more and more people gathered, and they all clamored for salt to be changed, and the sky was turned upside down. The Zhu Guanzi, who was usually wandering around the compound, didn't know where to go, couldn't see anyone, and some workers couldn't call the shots, so they were so anxious.

"Why don't you sell salt to them?" Zhou Sen asked Sister-in-law Peng curiously.

"You don't know yet! The salt is being squeezed outside, and the Shen family's shop outside does not have much inventory, so the East Compound naturally cannot deliver the goods. ”

"Isn't there still a lot of salt in the East Compound?" Zhou Sen looked puzzled, he also saw a warehouse full of salt yesterday.

"You don't understand, Niejiaqiao is a hundred miles away, and there are hundreds of thousands of people, no matter how much salt there is in the East Compound, they can't stop them from rushing to buy it!" Sister-in-law Peng glanced at Zhou Sen.

"Why did they snap it up?"

"I don't know very well, it seems that someone said last night that they would not be able to buy salt in the future, and early this morning, many people lined up to buy it, and then it was out of control. This man can't afford not to eat salt, he has no strength if he doesn't eat salt, you say, can they not be in a hurry! ”

"They all believed?" Zhou Sen felt a little incredible, because, although salt is a necessity, it consumes very little, a pack of salt can be eaten for several months, with the inventory of the Shen family, it is enough for hundreds of thousands of people in Nie Jiaqiao to eat for more than a year, and there is no need to rush to buy it at all.

"Don't you believe it!" Sister-in-law Peng glanced at the noisy tenants, "It's even more exaggerated outside, I don't believe you can go out and have a look." ”

"Well, I'll see."

Zhou Sen ran to the door, stretched out his head to look out, and couldn't help but gasp, in front of the row of shops facing the street in the west courtyard, there was a crowd of black oppressors, occupying the entire street, I was afraid that there were thousands of people, more than the people at the time of the porridge on the fifteenth day of the first month.

"Lots of people, huh?" Sister-in-law Peng saw Zhou Sen coming back and asked.

"Much, much."

"That's just here, in Niejiaqiao, all the shops selling salt are people queuing up to buy salt, except for the Shen family, many shops have stopped selling. Think about it, if it is open for them to buy, how long will the salt in the warehouse in the East Compound last? ”

Zhou Sen shook his head, as Sister-in-law Peng said, no matter how much salt there is, it can't stand hundreds of thousands of people rushing to buy it.

Looking at the posture of those rushing to buy, it is not a pack or two packs, many people are carrying baskets, and they can't wait to buy salt that can be eaten for ten or eight years.

Things are extraordinary.

Although Zhou Sen doesn't know how to do business, some financial predators in the five star fields often do so.

There are definitely merchants speculating and creating rumors to sit on the ground. In the face of this momentum, the Shen family has only two choices, first, open a position and release salt, and suppress rumors with a numerical advantage; Second, reluctant to sell, take the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise prices, and make money with those unscrupulous merchants.

But for the Shen family, neither the first way nor the second way is the best choice. As Sister-in-law Peng said, no matter how much salt the Shen family has, it can't bear hundreds of thousands of people rushing to buy it, if it is sold out, it is estimated that it will be sold out in an hour, once the Shen family has no salt, the more rumors will be, causing panic.

There are many uncertain sequelae of reluctance to sell.

When the Shen family is reluctant to sell, those merchants who create rumors will definitely reap the profits, and the amount of salt they will not be as much as the Shen family, as long as the Shen family is reluctant to sell, they will immediately dump the goods at a high price, and in the end, the mess is still thrown to the Shen family, the Shen family may not have made much money, others have already withdrawn, but the Shen family is charged with a profiteer.

Obviously, now some merchants are looking at the Shen family with fierce eyes, waiting for an opportunity to make a move......

……

"Madame, some tenants are clamoring to see you." Zhu Guanzi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The salt thing?"

"Yes, now the Xiao family and some small shops have stopped selling, and in the entire Nie Jiaqiao, only the Shen family is still selling in limited quantities, and the inventory of each shop is running out, and it is estimated that it will be transferred from the warehouse in the East Compound for a maximum of an hour."

"How long can the goods in the East Compound last?" Zhu asked.

"There are a lot of goods in the warehouse of the East Compound, but now that it's time to marinate bacon, the salt consumption of each household has increased, and the tenant residents are rushing to buy it, if you really let go of the purchase, it is estimated that you will not be able to hold on for a day."

"Isn't it okay to have a limited amount?"

"Cured bacon for the winter is a folk custom, many people slaughter livestock at home and store the cured bacon until the next year, if the total amount is completely limited, it will cause panic, many tenants are afraid, saying that they want to go to relatives, and if this continues, it will inevitably affect next year's spring ploughing."

"It's a real headache." Zhu rubbed his eyebrows, looking tired.

"Madam, something is wrong, it must be the Zhao family's ghost, the Zhao family is the first to stop selling." Zhu Guanzi said with a look of resentment.

"This possibility, I think, should not be entirely the reason for the Zhao family, although the Zhao family forgets their righteousness, but they will not cause chaos for this small profit, it is estimated that they will take the opportunity to make money. Niejiaqiao is not a big place, and it is only our big family, and it is not good for anyone to mess up. Zhu shook his head, a look of thought.

"That'...... That...... So why are there rumors? "Zhu Guanzi seems to be very unkind to the Zhao family.

"When rumors are formed, there must be a cause. I found that there were more and more wanderers when I was fifteen soup kitchens, and the last time I counted them, the wanderers in Niejiaqiao had exceeded one hundred, which was extremely rare, I remember, the highest record in previous years was only sixty, and now the weather has just turned cold, and the wanderers have passed a hundred, and some dilapidated temples have been overcrowded, which is not a good sign......"

"Madam, we can't control those wanderers, but we have to deal with this salt matter as soon as possible, now some tenant residents are scolding our Shen family, saying that our Shen family is a profiteer, and the reputation of the Shen family has been damaged."

"Actually, the reputation of our Shen family is nothing, stability is more important, if this salt matter is not handled well, it will be followed by rumors such as food shortage and plague, and at that time, the people's hearts will be scattered all of a sudden, and they can't manage it if they want to. This Nie family bridge, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and we can only rely on ourselves for everything. Zhu sighed.

"So what do we do?"

"Let's go to the East Compound and have a look."

"Yes, ma'am"

Zhu Guanzi suddenly looked overjoyed, and hurriedly led the way in front. The Zhu family has a very high prestige among the tenants, and if she goes out in person, those tenants may listen to her.

Really.

When the Zhu family arrived at the East Compound, someone shouted that Mrs. was coming, and immediately, the entire East Compound became quiet, and people looked at the Zhu family with a look of respect, making way for the Zhu family.

Seeing Zhu coming over, a group of tenants had a look of anxiety on their faces.

"Are you short of salt in your house?" Zhu asked an honest tenant with a pleasant face.

"Yes." The tenant looked nervous and rubbed his hands in reply.

"How much is missing?"

“…… Thirty packs...... No, at least fifty packs. The tenant hesitated, and hesitated.

"Why so many packs?" Zhu asked with a frown.

"Our family has a large population, and in a few days, we will have to slaughter animals and marinate bacon, and a little salt is not enough."

"Slaughter an animal, and don't take fifty packets of salt." There was a hint of anger on Zhu's face.

"Madame...... They all say that the salt is gone...... I want to buy more and put it at home for ......"

"Yes, ma'am, there is no salt everywhere now, we don't eat salt, we don't have the strength to work, and we are in a hurry! You are the reincarnation of a bodhisattva, so you take care of us poor people and sell some to us, it doesn't matter if the price is higher. ”

"yes, yes."

"That's it, the Shen family has a lot of salt, why don't you sell it?"

"It's not that you want to learn from the Zhao family, sit on the ground and start the price, hum!"

"The world is as black as a crow......"

“……”

……

Some people began to make a commotion, and the scene began to be chaotic again, and the tenants began to quarrel.

"Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet, Mrs. has something to say." Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more chaotic, Zhu Guanzi hurriedly raised his throat and shouted loudly.

The people gradually quieted down.

"I also know everyone's difficulties, our Shen family has a lot of salt, but now everyone is crazy to buy it, like your family, only three people, only eat one pack of salt a month, you have to buy fifty packs now, according to this buying method, our Shen family can't support it, when the time comes, there will still be many people who can't buy salt, now, I ask for everyone's opinions, see if there is any solution."

"Madam, it's better to increase the price, sell it more expensively, people can't afford it, so they will naturally buy less." Zhu Guanzi hurriedly said.

"No, if it is more expensive to sell, the rich will hoard a lot, and when the time comes, the poor will still not be able to eat salt."

"That's that, the villain didn't think it through."

"Madam, I see, hurry up and buy the goods, there are more goods, naturally no one will rush to buy them."

"This method is not feasible for the time being, our Niejiaqiao is far away from the place where salt is produced, and it will take months to go back and forth, and the distant water cannot save the near fire."

"Madam, let's ration, you can only buy one pound at a time."

"We are now buying in quantities, but the effect is not obvious, many people queue up repeatedly, and some people have to marinate meat, and a bag of salt is not enough."

“……”

Everyone's suggestion was finally rejected by the Zhu family one by one.

"He has a way."

Just when everyone was looking at each other at a loss, the sound of an urn sounded, and it was the taciturn Lu Axe.

"Who?"

Everyone looked at Lu Axe's fingers, but Zhou Sen was stunned.

Seeing that all eyes were on him, Zhou Sen suddenly secretly complained, just now when he was just chatting with the axe, he said that it was not difficult to solve it, but he didn't expect the axe to push him out in front of so many people.

Zhou Sen naturally didn't know, Lu Axe saw that Zhu's brows were tightly locked, and the protector was anxious, remembering that Zhou Sen said something that was not difficult, he couldn't help but say it, as for whether Zhou Sen had a way, it was not his brain's consideration.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Zhu's gaze fell on Zhou Sen.

"Now rumors are spreading, if you want to curb the rumors, the best way is to let every ordinary person have salt to eat, now, the salt in the East Compound is enough for the villagers of Niejiaqiao to eat for more than a year, so we just need to find a reasonable distribution plan, so that every household can buy salt." Zhou Sen said stiffly.

"How do you get salt for every household?" Zhu smiled slightly, she also understood this truth.

"It's very simple, we distribute a year's worth of salt to each household according to the number of people in the household registration."

"However, we have a remote area here, and there are many tenant families, but there is no household registration, such as you, don't you have a household registration?" Zhu said lightly.

"It's not difficult, those who don't have a household registration will also have a land contract, like the tenants of the Shen family, they all have a contract in hand, as long as the tenants rely on the contract, they can buy enough salt to eat for a year."

"This method is very good, but now in early winter, it is the time to slaughter livestock and poultry to marinate bacon, some people will use cured bacon as an excuse to hoard and ask to buy more, if everyone buys more, the salt in our Shen family's warehouse will definitely not be enough."

Zhu Shi shook her head and sighed, she thought that Zhou Sen would really come up with some way, turning it over and over, but she still changed the soup without changing the medicine.

"Madam, this is simple, let them pick the meat that needs to be marinated to the shop site to marinate, so that no one can cheat, the meat, can't be marinated repeatedly. In addition, if the Shen family sells for a few days in a row, everyone has the opportunity to buy enough salt, and the rumors are self-defeating, and when the time comes, those businessmen who hoard salt and sit on the ground will definitely be anxious, afraid of the backlog of salt, and join the sale, naturally, the pressure on the Shen family will be relieved. ”

"Good way!" Zhu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "That's it, big tube, you hurry up and let the major shops plan it, according to the village zoning registration and make a register, so that customers can buy salt with household registration or land lease contract and other certificates, each household can buy salt for one year, if you want to marinate meat, pick the meat to the shop site to pickle." In case they encounter someone who has no household registration and no land contract, let them come to the Shen family's head office to buy it, and then carefully screen it. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away." Zhu Guanzi nodded again and again, and after giving a thumbs up to Zhou Sen, he rushed to Zhang Luo.

"Folks, let's go back first, bring your household registration certificate, or land deed, to the Shen family's major stores to buy salt, if there is a need to marinate meat, you can only trouble, pick the meat that needs to be marinated to the Shen family's shop, and marinate it on the spot. When you go home, you can also help the Shen family promote it by the way. ”

"Thank you, ma'am, and we'll go home."

"Thank you, ma'am......"

After a group of tenants thanked them happily, they hurried home, for fear of falling behind.

Finally, the East Compound was quiet.

"Mom, what are you doing here? I can't find you anywhere, and now it's full of people outside, and it's so noisy that I can't sleep, and I hate it to death. Just as Zhu was about to talk to Zhou Sen, Shen Huimin rushed in like a whirlwind.

"What are you doing here?" Zhu frowned and looked at Shen Huimin, this is the East Compound, they are all the lowest figures in society, and a daughter like Shen Huimin should not appear here.

"It's all noisy outside, and Hui Min is scared. Looking for my father, my father is not here, I heard that you arrived in the East Compound, so I had to come to the East Compound to look for you. Hui Min said with a look of grievance.

"It's reasonable, let's go." Zhu snorted coldly, dragged Shen Huimin's arm, and walked towards the small iron gate.

"Let's go, what's the big deal."

Shen Huimin pouted, followed behind the Zhu family, and looked around curiously as she walked, although she grew up in the Shen family compound since she was a child, she rarely came to the East Compound, for her, the Shen family compound was full of mystery.

"It's you!"

Shen Huimin suddenly shouted, as if she had caught a thief.
