The waiter called a relative and helped him out.

Although the official salt shop stipulates that everyone can only buy one pound, it’s okay. His relatives still have salt at home, so they are not in a hurry. If you help buy one pound today, you can earn ten pounds of salt. Why not do it?

At that time, he will go to the Guanyan Shop to buy it tomorrow.

After a while, the waiter returned to the store with the newly bought salt.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the waiter didn't even scare him. The salt in the official salt shop was really snow-white?!

Needless to say, this grade of salt is definitely of high-quality quality.

I just don't know how it tastes.

The shopkeeper pinched some with his thumb and index finger and put them in his mouth to taste it.

This taste made me even more surprised: Why doesn’t this salt have a little bitter taste?!

Not only is there no, it is also purer than ordinary salt.

I am the shopkeeper, and I am afraid I have never seen such pure salt in my life.

His heartbeats accelerating, wondering if the court had discovered some new salt mines, so...

Just as he was thinking this way, the young master Qi Rusheng walked in from outside.

"Young boss."

The shopkeeper quickly stepped forward to salute.

Qi Rusheng asked him to get up and asked him about the situation of the official salt shop.

The shopkeeper's truthful explanation.

When Qi Rusheng heard that the court might have discovered a new salt mine, he frowned slightly and asked the shopkeeper to see the salt he bought.

Although Qi Rusheng was just a concubine of the Qi family, because Qi family has great achievements and is also successful, he got this job.

He is responsible for this salt shop. If something goes wrong, he will have to roll the shop and get out of here.

As soon as Qi Rusheng tasted the snow salt, his eyebrows were tied into a knot and he was worried.

The shopkeeper's guess may be true?

He is too unlucky, right?

Others did nothing to get errands, but why did he happen to such a thing when he got to him?

His chest was a little blocked, but there was no way. Qi Rusheng packed snow salt and told the shopkeeper that they were optimistic about the shop, but he went to report to someone.

Not long after, the Qi family and other families received the "snow salt" handed over by their subordinates.

They are all veterans who make this piece. Does this salt come out of their own salt mines? You can taste it at once.

All of them were panicked at this moment.

"Old Master Qi, what should I do? This... doesn't seem to be from our salt mine?"

"Yes, the court did not really discover the new salt mine?! If that were the case, wouldn't we be in danger?"

...

The court had long wanted to deal with them, but because they hid the salt mine in the world so hard that the court could not find it out, so they could only "stand" with them.

If the imperial court now has its own salt mine, and they still work against each other, can the imperial court let them go?

Mr. Qi said coldly, "What? The shops are closed and the prices are raised. You still want to go and tell the court that you did nothing? All ninety-nine steps ahead have been released. Do you think the court will let us go?"

"Uh..." The group of people suddenly became mute.

Everyone here is not fools. Everyone knows it very well that from the time they face the court, they have no turning back.

If they really want to quit now, the price they pay will be huge.

Maybe the court will ask them to hand over everything in their hands.

How can that work?

That is the foundation left by the ancestors of the family. Why should I hand it over to the court?

If they really hand over it over, what should they do?

Aren't they sinners in their families?

How can I meet my ancestors when I get underground?

"And don't you find it strange?" Mr. Qi saw that they all gave up the idea of ​​surrendering and continued, "The salt mines in the world are held in the hands of several of our aristocratic families. We have explained to salt for generations. How is salt like? We still don't know? All of us know that the yield of fine salt is extremely low. Where did the imperial court get so much fine salt? Suddenly so much fine salt appears. Could it be that the imperial court deliberately released it for us to see?"

"What's the meaning?"

"It means... Actually, the court does not have that much salt in its hands, but in order to create the illusion that they are not short of salt, it took them many years to save so many large amounts of salt. It was suddenly launched in large quantities, just to scare us and make us think that the court has salt in its hands. Then we panic and admit defeat with the court. That is not the fish on the knife board, and let the court fail?"

"No, right?! But what if the court is not short of salt?"

Mr. Qi looked at the old man who spoke and said with some displeasure: "Didn't I say that we have been dealing with salt for so many years. Who doesn't know what the yield of fine salt is? Is it because we want to make more money, so we sell fine salt so expensive? It's because the yield of fine salt is too low and there is no way, so we can divide the salt into different levels... If the court really has the ability to popularize fine salt to the world, we will be suppressed for so many years?"

"Uh...this is."

...

If they took out all kinds of salt and pieced it together, maybe they could believe it, but the court suddenly took out so much salt, is it obvious that there is a ghost?

If the fine salt was so easy, the families of these families would have taken it out long ago, and would they wait until now?

Even if they want to make money, who can still know what the salt yield is?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Mr. Qi was right. This must have been a "confused trick" deliberately used by the court. It was to scare them and then take them down one by one.

Think beautifully!

Even if the court discovered a salt mine and stocked up a lot of refined salt?

Most of the salt mines in the world are in their hands. As long as they don’t say anything, there will be no problems in a short period of time. Over time, the court will definitely not be able to withstand it.

So, they not only closed their own salt shop, but also secretly arranged for people to go to the government to buy salt.

They want to see how long the imperial court can withstand such a large amount.

Sure enough, the Guanyan Shop started to increase its money within a few days.

Each household can only buy one bag of "affordable salt" per month. If you want to buy more, you need to get ten more copper coins.

"Seeing that, the court can't hold on anymore. We will increase the purchase efforts and must buy all the stockpiles in the court. When the court loses salt, it will be their time to beg us." Old Master Qi's face was cold.

Anyway, things like salt have been stored and have not come back for several months.

When they buy the imperial salt shops for the court, they see what other tricks the court can use.

At the same time, they also tightened their children in the clan and made them be honest one by one recently, so that they would not cause any trouble to fall into the hands of the court, and no one would be able to protect them by then.

There are still a few fools who are brainless and knowingly make mistakes. When the old man speaks, most of the people below are honest.

They also knew in their hearts that only by keeping their own family can they have their majesty.

If their home is gone, then they are nothing.

Besides, if you don’t go out to drink flower wine or tease good women, they can play at home.

Which yard does not have beautiful maids?

Just so happened that there were enough wild flowers outside, so I could just go home and try the flowers.
