Zhao Zhijing smiled coldly: "Family master, of course you can't let him go like this, it's just that now is not the best time to make a move, didn't Emperor Qianwu also make a move against the Wang family?" Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”

Zhao Tianquan said: "You are right, the Wang family controls the official salt of the Great Qian, and a little moth is enough for Emperor Qianwu to drink a pot, and when he is embarrassed by the Wang family, we can step on it again, so that he can know how powerful my Zhao family is!" ”

……

Huozhou, Datong City.

Wang Laohan was an authentic farmer who lived in a small town thirty miles outside the city, because there was no salt shop in the town that sold official salt. So every time he didn't have salt at home, he had to walk 30 miles to Datong City to buy salt.

On this day, after a long journey of more than half a day, Wang Laohan finally came to Datong City and went to the Wangjia salt shop where he often bought salt.

When he came to the salt shop, he found that the salt shop was different from ordinary times, densely packed with people, which made him feel very puzzled.

Wang Laohan grabbed a young man who was running towards the salt shop with a cloth bag and asked, "This little brother, why are there so many people in the Wang family's salt shop?" What's going on? ”

The young man glanced at Wang Laohan and said patiently, "The old man is from outside the city, right?" ”

"That's right."

"Then it's normal that you don't know, the Wang family said that because of the lack of salt mine production recently, the daily sales of official salt are limited!"

"Huh?!" Wang Laohan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How much is the daily limit?" ”

"Ichto!"

"There are so many people in Datong City and the surrounding counties and towns, how can this bit of salt be?!"

"So, I'm rushing to buy it." As he spoke, the young man shook off Wang Laohan's arm and said anxiously, "I'll go first, and if I can't grab a good spot when it's late, I'll have to continue to eat white water and cook rice!" ”

After speaking, the girl ran towards the Wang's salt shop.

Wang Laohan also panicked and hurriedly followed.

When he ran to Wang's salt shop, there were more people around the door, hundreds of people, all desperately squeezing forward, accusing each other and scolding each other.

"Squeeze what? Hurry up to reincarnate! ”

"Bastard, you stepped on my foot!"

"There's got to be a first-come, first-served first, right? Why do you want to crowd in front of me? ”

“……”

The old man Wang, who was old and frail, also tried to squeeze inside, but was squeezed out again and again, and even fell.

"Iniquity!"

Wang Laohan let out a sad cry, quickly got up and continued to squeeze in desperately.

It's okay not to eat salt for a day or two, but there will be problems after a long time, and there are three-year-old children at home, so you have to get official salt anyway.

People like Wang Laohan were everywhere, frantically crowding at the door of Wang's salt shop, and even rioted and fought.

The shopkeeper inside the shop looked at the scene outside through the crack in the door with an indifferent face, and had no intention of opening the door at all.

The guy on the side was a little unbearable, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, don't we have a lot of official salt in the treasury?" Why don't you sell it? These people don't have salt to eat, and there will be problems after a long time! ”

If you don't eat salt, the weakness of the limbs is mild, and in severe cases, it will lead to edema of the whole body, and even life-threatening.

Young strong men can carry it for a while longer, and if the elderly and children don't have salt, they won't be able to carry it for long.

The guy was a little unbearable.

But the shopkeeper's expression was still indifferent: "What can go wrong?" It's a big deal to just kill a few people, what's the big deal? This is the order of the head of the house, and you can do it! ”

The man hesitated, pondered his words, and asked cautiously, "Shopkeeper, why did the head of the family do this?" Isn't that a mess with money? ”

"This bit of silver is a fart for the Wang family?" The shopkeeper sneered, then lowered his voice and whispered: "It's okay to tell you, didn't Your Majesty raid a lot of the Wang family's salt shops in the capital a few days ago?" The head of the family is furious, this is to give His Majesty a little color! ”

The guy was surprised: "This ...... How dare the head of the house? ”

"Humph! What's not to dare to do here? In the eyes of the Eight Great Families, the emperor is a fart! The Wang family controls ninety percent of the official salt in the world, and they still don't control the court to death? You just wait to see the play! ”

"Got it!"

The guy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and while marveling at how bold the Wang family was, he was also a little angry.

The Wang family actually took official salt, which is an important material related to the national economy and people's livelihood, regardless of the life and death of the people, to fight with Emperor Qianwu?

It's shameless!

But as an ordinary guy, he also dared to be angry.

The shopkeeper deliberately postponed the originally scheduled opening time, and only when it was crowded outside was almost crowded with people, did he slowly open the door of the salt shop.

"Be quiet! Be quiet! ”

The shopkeeper shouted, and when everyone was quiet, he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, because the output of the salt mine has dropped sharply, only half a bucket of official salt is sold in our store today, and the people in the back will come back tomorrow!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a commotion.

"Half a bucket of official salt? How can it be sold for so little! ”

"yes, we've waited so long, it's more selling!"

"My family hasn't eaten salt for three days, and if it goes on like this, there will be problems!"

"My family hasn't eaten salt for nine days!"

“……”

The shopkeeper turned a deaf ear and said coldly: "There is still half a bucket of salt to sell today, and I am still uncertain if there will be tomorrow, so hurry up and sell it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole scene suddenly fell into madness, everyone squeezed forward frantically, and the sound of angry scolding and mutual accusations was endless.

The shopkeeper looked at all this indifferently, deliberately slowing down the sale of refined salt, until he showed a cold smile after the people fought because they were crowded with each other.

This is the result that the head of the Wang family wants.

Let the common people fight and make trouble because of official salt.

This is just the beginning, and he believes that as more people run out of salt, the situation will get worse until the government can't do anything about it.

This situation in Datong City is not an isolated case, under the deliberate arrangement of the Wang family, the entire Daqian is like this everywhere, and many places even cause people to die because of the snatching of official salt.

The whole Daqian has been in turmoil because of official salt.

Even in the capital, because the Wang family stopped selling official salt, there were many vicious incidents, which caused a lot of complaints.

This is not over, the Wang family even directly stopped providing official salt to the army, resulting in many troops who did not have much stock to eat without salt, and the morale of the army was a little unstable.

The head of the Wang family sneered again and again after learning about the situation in various places through the official salt sales channel.

"Emperor Qianwu, Emperor Qianwu, I see what you should do now! Now you know how powerful my Wang family is, right? If you don't apologize to my Wang family this time and don't hand over the things in the secret camp, you will wait for the world to be in chaos! ”
