Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"With this weather, can it rain?" A middle-aged salt merchant pointed to the clear sky and said hastily, "There is no cloud at all! Can it rain?"

"Mr. Tian said it, it was the Great Wizard who said it!"

Fat Salt Merchant hurriedly said: "The Great Wizard is the famous man in front of King Qi. He is very accurate in measuring luck, fortune, and weather!"

"Then why didn't he predict the demise of the Qi Congress?"

The middle-aged salt merchant said unconvinced!

While talking, suddenly a gust of wind blew up!

Immediately afterwards, patches of dark clouds floated in the clear sky.

In a blink of an eye, the entire sky darkened.

Gusts of wind blew up, and the sky was already covered with clouds!
The big salt merchant couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that the clouds were already covering in the blink of an eye.

The middle-aged salt merchant couldn't help but widen his eyes.

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky!
Immediately afterwards, there was another dull thunder.

Another flash of lightning followed by thunder.

It started pouring rain!
"Great, God has eyes, it's finally raining!"

The middle-aged salt merchant couldn't help but ran to the yard, opened his arms, and shouted loudly against the pouring rain!

"Master, it's finally raining heavily!"

In Tian Chuan's study, Tian Chuan's personal servant couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Although Tian Chuan was very excited in his heart, he still smiled lightly: "It's expected, what's there to be excited about?"

While talking, he dropped the letter, stood up and walked to the bedroom!
After a while, the bedroom was already snoring loudly.

At this time, in the East China Sea Salt Field, seeing the sudden heavy rain, the officials in charge, the officials, and the craftsmen and craftsmen all looked sad.

"My lord, due to the sudden heavy rain, our salt factory has to stop production!"

The official in charge looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and said anxiously.

"It's raining, let everyone rest for a few days!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked at the pouring rain and said indifferently: "Tell everyone, especially the craftsmen and peasants, that you can't produce on rainy days, and the wages will be paid!"

"My lord, that's not what I'm worried about!"

The official in charge said hastily: "We don't have any salt in stock in the storeroom! Once the next few days are cloudy and rainy, all the salt in Qidi will be controlled by those profiteers!
Once these profiteers come to hoard and sell at high prices, it will be a big blow to our saltworks! "

"You don't have to worry about this, the court has already made full preparations!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said seriously: "Don't they want to hoard? This time let them lose their fortune!"

Sure enough, in the next ten days, the entire Jiaodong Peninsula will be rainy!

The salt in stock in the Donghai Salt Field was bought up by salt merchants at high prices, and all the government-run salt shops in the entire Qidi market were out of stock.

"Mr. Tian, ​​we have all found out!"

The fat salt merchant ran up to Tian Chuan excitedly, and said excitedly, "The inventory of the Donghai Salt Farm has already been emptied, and all the government-run salt shops in the entire Qidi market are out of stock!"

"Great!"

Tian Chuan stood up excitedly, and hurriedly said: "Tell everyone quickly that we will sell the salt in our hands at a price of [-] Wen a catty tomorrow morning!
I also want to tell everyone.The supply is limited, and one person can only buy half a catty at most! "

"Understood!" The fat salt merchant hurriedly agreed.

As soon as the order was given, the salt merchants immediately took action.

At this moment, the salt convoy sent by Ying Zigao arrived at Qidi together with the convoy transporting new steel weapons.

They were all stored in the barracks that night.

In the early morning of the next day, all the salt stores of the big salt merchant put up their signs and began to sell table salt at a high price!
"What's the matter? Twenty Wen for a catty of salt!"

"The usual price of salt is only 1 Wen per catty, and the price of salt in government-run salt farms is even 5 Wen per catty!"

"Why do you sell such a high price!"

As soon as they saw the price, the common people immediately shouted indignantly!
"No reason, just rely on the fact that our master has salt in his hand!"

The clerk at the salt store said proudly: "The price of the government-run salt farm is low, you go buy it! See if they have salt for you?"

"That's right, our master has salt in his hand now!"

The other also said with his nostrils upturned: "You can buy it if you want it, or leave if you don't! I also tell you that even if we take out the money, one person can only buy half a catty at most!"

"You are too bullying!"

A middle-aged man roared!
"If you think it's expensive, don't buy it!" The salt shop worker sneered, "If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't, don't get in the way!"

Hearing this, the common people turned their heads and looked at the government-run salt shop across the street.

But to their disappointment, the government-run salt shop is still not open for business.

"Don't look, they don't have salt in their hands!"

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the people, the clerk at the salt store couldn't help but feel complacent, and said, "If you want to buy, buy it quickly, if you don't buy it, get out of the way, don't block others from buying it!"

The people sighed helplessly, so they had no choice but to swallow their anger and buy salt at a high price.

The middle-aged man suppressed his anger, took out copper coins from his pocket, and said, "I'll buy it!"

The clerk at the salt store smiled triumphantly, and was about to reach out to take the money, when someone suddenly shouted excitedly: "The government-run salt store is open!"

"The sign is up, but it's still worth a penny!"

Hearing this, the people became excited one by one.

The middle-aged man even took back the copper coins.

"Where did they get the salt?" The guys saw the government-run salt shop.The door has been opened for official business, can't help but be surprised!
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of carriages in the distance!
When the people looked up, they saw donkey carts driving over with bags full of them!

The donkey cart came to the entrance of the official salt store, and as soon as it stopped, the staff of the official salt store hurriedly unloaded the bag, opened the bag, and poured the snow-white refined salt into the container!
"It's all high-quality refined salt!" The middle-aged man shouted excitedly: "Folks, go buy some salt!"

Immediately, the common people rushed towards the government-run salt shop with bags of salt in their hands!

In the blink of an eye, the salt shop that was overcrowded just now became empty!
Seeing the common people bought a large amount of cheap high-quality table salt one by one, carrying the bulging salt bags, they left with laughter.

The salt merchants looked helpless!

"What did you say? All the government-run salt shops are open today?"

Upon hearing the news, Tian Chuan couldn't help but tense up!
