Chapter 85 Ruining the Royal Family’s Reputation

Since Liu Bai informed Ying Zheng that the salt shop will open today.

His Majesty the First Emperor put on his casual clothes early and left the palace with Li Si.

At the corner closest to the shop, the two of them were standing there watching.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go in and take a look?"

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly and continued to stand where he was.

At this moment, Zhang Han came back.

Li Si asked hurriedly.

"How? Can it be sold?"

They had already arrived when Liu Bai came here to transport salt.

The previous crowd was sparse, so naturally they had a panoramic view of it.

Now that I saw the people gathered in a circle, I thought Liu Bai's method had worked.

Zhang Han shook his head and replied.

"The people just gathered around and talked, no one came forward to buy."

Li Si couldn't figure it out.

"Three copper coins and one tael, what's there to discuss? What's the reason why they don't buy it?"

Zhang Han looked at Ying Zheng and remained silent.

Seeing the strange look on his face, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "Say!"

"No! The prince-in-law placed the price and snow salt outside the door, and said that you can taste it for free. It won't be too late to buy it after you taste it."

"Originally, the people were already interested, but... But they were afraid that after tasting it, if the snow salt was not good, they would not be able to escape... Then they would get into trouble with the royal family and cause a lot of trouble..."

After reluctantly saying these words, Zhang Han's back was already mostly wet.

This is the first time that I have criticized the royal family in front of His Majesty.

Of course, these words were processed by him, and in the mouths of the people, the royal family was said to be as terrifying as a scourge.

Li Si said angrily after hearing this.

"It's really unreasonable. Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. He always thinks of them and works day and night for their lives. It's better for them to be ungrateful and actually say bad things to them..."

Ying Zheng coughed lightly, and Li Si immediately fell silent.

"Okay, let's watch!"

"promise!"

The three of them stood quietly on the street corner, waiting to see how Liu Bai would break the situation.

Liu Bai in the shop was staring at Sima Chang.

They didn't have Zhang Han polishing things and listening to the people's words clearly and clearly.

"Consort, what should we do now?"

Liu Bai tapped on a few tables, and after a while, he raised his voice and called Wang Li in.

"Go, let Cao Shen collect the things, and arrest two common people to come in and buy salt..."

He didn't understand. If such a good thing was put here, it would be fine if no one saw it and didn't buy it.

I've laid it all out for you, and I'm still making all kinds of noises. It's really holding me back and pushing you backwards!

Wang Li thought he heard wrongly, looked up at Liu Bai and tried.

"Consort, this is a forced sale! If your Majesty..."

Liu Bai waved his hands impatiently.

"Do as you do, and I will bear all the blame for Father's fault!"

Sima Chang on the side was dumbfounded.

Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Bai, judging from the few times he had it, he should be a gentle person.

He smiles all day long and has never lost his temper with anyone.

Why are you so tough today?

For a moment, I remembered the previous rumors.

This master was the one who killed Zhao Gao and Yan Le at the slightest disagreement.

It's ridiculous to expect him to have a good temper...

When Wang Li heard this, he gritted his teeth and went out to give orders to the four soldiers.

"Watch them, no one is allowed to run away, you, follow me inside to buy salt..."

Under the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty, even though there were only four soldiers, no one on the scene dared to run away.

Just kidding, if you are caught later, your head will be lost!

The old man who was pointed at by Wang Li immediately knelt on the ground as his legs went weak.

"Master Jun, please be noble and spare the common people! The common people only carry ten copper coins with them, and they still have to buy salt..."

Wang Li stared and said.

"Aren't we just asking you to go in and buy salt now? Stop talking and go quickly!"

The old man cried sadly.

"Master Jun, you old man can't afford salt! We are just ordinary people and can't afford your precious snow salt. Master Jun, please be merciful..."

Wang Li almost laughed out of anger.

You can't afford three copper plates of snow salt, but you can afford ten copper plates of coarse salt.

Listen to what you are saying?

"You, take him in."

"yes!"

The soldier on the side grabbed his arm and carried him directly to the store.

The old man thought to himself, it's over, I'm afraid I have to explain it here today!

He only brought ten copper coins. Now that he was caught, how could he end up doing well?

Why are you here to watch the excitement? Why didn't you know to leave earlier?

The three people in the corner had a panoramic view of everything.

At this time, Li Si simply admired Liu Bai.

Forced buying and selling, this is forced buying and selling!

Since the unification of Qin Dynasty, which businessman dares to do this?

Not only are they blatantly ignoring the law, but they are also ruining the reputation of the royal family!

Although he thought so, he did not dare to tell the truth, but only took a peek at His Majesty from time to time.

Ying Zheng was also a little angry at this time, but out of his trust in Liu Bai, he suppressed his anger.

Let’s take another look. If public opinion really develops in a bad direction, we’ll talk about it at that time.

As soon as the old man entered the shop, he was startled by the battle inside.

It’s over, it’s over, there are so many people, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out if I don’t buy something today!

"Nobles, please spare your lives! This old man really can't afford it..."

Liu Bai pinched a few grains of salt and stuffed them directly into the old man's mouth.

"Don't be afraid, husband, try it. Is it different from the salt you usually eat?"

Now that things have come to this, the old man can only chirp.

Oh, it's really different.

Salt in daily life always leaves a bitter and astringent taste in the mouth after eating it.

But this snow salt has nothing but saltiness.

The old man looked up at Liu Bai and asked stammeringly.

"My dear, your snow salt is really three coppers and one tael?"

Liu Bai nodded.

"Have you ever heard that the royal family would deceive the people?"

The old man thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

Whether it was before or after the unification, Da Qin's various political orders were never false.

No matter whether he went to the battlefield and beheaded to gain meritorious service, or he is now building the Great Wall to provide food for him, he has achieved every one of them.

Thinking of this, the old man was a little confused.

Why didn’t you believe it just now? Why didn’t you try it?

Oh, by the way, I was afraid of being bought and sold by force and offending the officials.

The old man who had just cheered up felt weak again and asked weakly.

"My lord, the old man only brought ten copper coins. Is it possible to buy less?"

Liu Bai smiled gently.

"Of course, I can buy as much as I want!"

"Well, how about I buy three copper coins first, old man?"

Liu Bai helped him up and turned around to tell Cao Shen.

"Weigh this old man a tael of snow salt."

Cao Shen agreed and weighed him a tael of salt in front of the old man.

After paying the money, the old man took the paper bag and walked out of the salt shop door in a daze.

He was not embarrassed, he really was not embarrassed!

After pinching the remaining seven copper coins, everything became real instantly.

Looking at the second citizen being pulled, the old man chuckled.

"Don't cry with a sad face. Noble people will not buy or sell by force. You can buy as much as you want! Let me tell you, I just tried it. This snow salt is much better than the rough salt we usually eat!"

After hearing what he said, the people wiped away their tears and asked him how he bought salt.

The old man talked a lot and then left.

Wang Li saw them all rushing into the store and shouted loudly.

"Don't be too crowded, snow salt is always available, come here and queue up, go in and buy one by one!"

Putting aside the chaos here, the old man happily rushed home carrying the paper bag.

I didn't want to go to the corner, but three people blocked my way!
