"Madam, something is wrong, it must be the ghost of the Ma family, and the Ma family is the first to stop selling. Zhu Dacang said with a look of resentment.

"This possibility, I think, should not be entirely the reason for the Ma family, although the Ma 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. Xujiaqiao is not a big place, and it is only a few of our big families, and it is not good for anyone to mess up. Chen shook his head, a look of thought.

"That'...... That...... Why are there rumors?" Zhu Dacang seemed to be very unkind to the Ma family.

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

"Madam, we can't take care of those wanderers, but we have to deal with this salt matter as soon as possible, and now some tenant residents are scolding us Wanjia, saying that we Wanjia are profiteers, and Wanjia's reputation has been damaged. ”

"Actually, the reputation of our Wanjia 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, people's hearts will be scattered all of a sudden, and they can't manage it if they want to. This Xujiaqiao, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and we can only rely on ourselves for everything. Chan sighed.

"So what do we do?"

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

"Yes, ma'am"

Zhu Dacang suddenly looked overjoyed and hurriedly led the way in front. Chan was very prestigious among the tenants, and if she went out in person, those tenants might listen to her.

Really.

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

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

"Is there a shortage of salt in your house?" asked Chen pleasantly to an honest tenant.

"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 do you want so many packs?" asked Chen with a frown.

"We have a large family, and we have to slaughter animals and marinate bacon in a few days, and a little salt is not enough. ”

"Slaughter an animal, and do not have fifty packets of salt. There was a hint of anger on Chen's face.

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

"Yes, madam, 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 take care of us poor people and sell some to us, it doesn't matter if the price is more expensive. ”

"yes, yes. ”

"That's it, there is a lot of salt in thousands of homes, why don't you sell it?"

"I don't want to learn from the Ma family yet, 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, Madame has something to say. Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more chaotic, Zhu Dacang hurriedly raised his throat and shouted.

The people gradually quieted down.

"I also know the difficulties of everyone, we have a lot of salt in our homes, but now everyone is crazy to buy, like your family, only three people, only eat a bag of salt a month, you want to buy fifty packs now, according to this buying method, we 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 Cannon 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, and naturally no one will rush to buy them. ”

"This method is not feasible for the time being, our Xujiaqiao is far away from the place where salt is produced, and it takes several months to go back and forth, and the far water cannot save the 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 ultimately rejected by Chen's 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 Guo Axe.

"Who?"

Everyone followed Guo Axe's fingers and looked, but it was Zhao Yuan who was stunned.

Seeing that all eyes were on him, Zhao Yuan 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.

Zhao Yuan naturally didn't know what to do, Guo Axe saw Chen's brows tightly locked, and the protector was anxious, remembering that Zhao Yuan said something that was not difficult, he couldn't help but say it, as for whether Zhao Yuan had a way, it was not something he thought about.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Chen's gaze fell on Zhao Yuan.

"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 courtyard is enough for the villagers of Xujiaqiao to eat for more than a year, so we just need to find a reasonable distribution plan, so that every household can buy salt." Zhao Yuan said stiffly.

"How can every household buy salt?" Chen smiled slightly, she also understood this truth.

"Quite simply, we distribute a year's worth of salt to each household according to the number of people in the household register. ”

"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 no household registration?" Chen said lightly.

"It's not difficult, those who don't have a household registration will also have a land contract, like a tenant in ten thousand families, they 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, asking to buy more, if everyone buys more, the salt in our warehouse will definitely not be enough. ”

Chen shook her head and sighed, she thought that Zhao Yuanzhen would come up with some way, turning it over and over, but she still changed the soup instead of 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 Wanjia sells for several days in a row, everyone has the opportunity to buy enough salt, and the rumors are self-defeating, when the time comes, those businessmen who hoard salt and sit on the ground will definitely be anxious, afraid of the salt backlog, join the sale, naturally, the pressure on Wanjia will be relieved. ”

"Good way!" Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "That's it, Cannon, you hurry up and let the major shops plan to make a plan, according to the registration of each village, so that customers can bring a good household registration or land lease contract and other certificates when buying salt, each household can limit the purchase of salt for one year, if you want to marinate meat, pick the meat to the shop site to marinate." In case they encounter those who do not have a household registration and no land lease, let them come to the Wanjia head office to buy them, and then carefully screen them. ”

"Yes, yes, the cannon will do it right away. Zhu Dacang nodded again and again, and after giving a thumbs up to Zhao Yuan, he rushed to Zhang Luo.

"Folks, let's go back first, bring your household registration certificate, or land deed, and go to the major stores of Wanjia to buy salt. Everyone go home, and by the way, help Wanjia publicize it. ”

"Mrs. Xie Luxie, let's go home. ”

"Mrs. Xie Luxie......"

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

Finally, the East Courtyard was quiet.

"Mom, what are you doing here? I can't find you anywhere, and now there are people everywhere outside, and it's so noisy that I can't sleep, and I hate it to death. Just as Chen was about to talk to Zhao Yuan, Wan Ling'er rushed in like a whirlwind.

"What are you doing here?" Chen frowned and looked at Wan Ling'er, this is the East Courtyard, they are all the lowest figures in society, and a young lady like Wan Ling'er should not appear here.

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

"It's okay, let's go. Chen snorted coldly, dragged Wan Ling'er's arm, and walked towards the small iron gate.
