Chapter 14 The Salt Rebellion

Guo Ax seems to be happy to teach Zhao Yuan his "unique skills".

There are several tips for killing flies.

quick!

allow!

ruthless!

Fastness means speed, and the speed must be several times higher than the moment when the fly takes off; accuracy means eyesight, which is to spot the position of the fly; ruthlessness is the key, after you have spotted the position, you must chop it down without hesitation.

Strike with all your strength, don't hesitate, the opportunity is fleeting.

It is easy for Guo to chop flies with an axe. He is sitting on a small wooden bench with a heavy ax in his hand. As long as a fly lands on the wooden pier, the ax in his hand flashes and the fly is immediately split into two pieces. It seems that he is doing it with ease and effortlessly.

Don't be sloppy.

There is no difficulty in being fast. The speed of the ax is much faster than the speed of the fly. What is difficult for Zhao Yuan is the accuracy, because the fly is just a small black dot and it will appear at any uncertain position.

, or suddenly fly away, it is very difficult to lock.

Zhao Yuan discovered that when Guo was chopping flies with his axe, his eyes would suddenly freeze. There was no doubt that this was a locking process.

Finally, Zhao Yuan summed up a lesson: use your heart.

"I want to chop" and "carefully" have the same purpose. As long as you use your heart, it is not difficult at all to chop flies with an axe, because Zhao Yuan does not lack "fast" and "ruthless", the only thing he needs to do is to be "accurate"

.

In just fifteen days, Zhao Yuan mastered the art of chopping flies.

In the past fifteen days, Zhao Yuan helped Guo Ax chop wood in his free time. In fact, the difference between chopping wood and chopping flies is not very big. If he can control chopping wood to a comfortable level, chopping flies will not be far away.

Among them, as long as you master certain skills and become familiar with the flight trajectory and habits of flies.

Of course, it will take a long time to practice to reach the point where Guo's ax can be used freely. At present, Zhao Yuan can only chop flies when he is calm and focused, and the wrist strength in his hand is not enough. But Guo's ax has already been

He could chop as he pleased. The heavy iron ax felt light and spiritual in his hands.

Guo Ax was extremely surprised by Zhao Yuan's learning speed, because he had spent five years chopping wood first and three years practicing chopping flies, while Zhao Yuan did it in just half a month.

In fact, Guo Futou did not understand the gap between him and Zhao Yuan. He was groping in the "darkness" at first, using brute force to chop flies, and it took him three years to turn brute force into cleverness. But Zhao Yuan

It turned out that, in addition to Guo Ax's guidance, he chopped "with heart" from the beginning, so he got twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, there is another reason. Zhao Yuan learned some physics knowledge about calculation methods from Gauss. In fact, chopping flies has a close relationship with calculations. There are similarities between the two in terms of orientation, angle, and speed.

Time passed by unconsciously, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Yuan had finished helping Jia Deafzi clean up, and was concentrating on chopping wood to practice his strength, when suddenly, there was a sound of quarreling in the yard.

Arguments are extremely rare in the East Courtyard.

The East Courtyard looks disorganized, but in fact, it has a very strict management system. As long as things are done according to the system, it is difficult to have disputes. Moreover, those who trade with Wanjia are honest tenants and businessmen, most of whom have easy-going personalities.

Zhao Yuan gathered around, but it was a tenant from the Wanjia family who was clamoring to exchange the excess grain for salt. However, Zhu Dapao had already spoken. The salt stored in the East Courtyard was strictly prohibited from being purchased and exchanged. Even the shops under the Wanjia family were not allowed to exchange it for salt from the East Courtyard.

Transport salt.

In the middle of the quarrel, some tenants who paid rent came one after another. More and more people gathered, and they all clamored for salt. There was a quarrel. Zhu Dapao, who usually walked around the courtyard, didn't know where to go.

There was no one in sight, and some workers couldn't make the decision, so they were very anxious.

"Why don't you sell salt to them?" Zhao Yuan asked Sister Luo curiously.

"You don't know yet! There's a rush for salt outside. Wanjia's stores outside don't have much inventory, so the East Branch can't deliver the goods."

"Isn't there still a lot of salt in stock in the east courtyard?" Zhao Yuan looked puzzled. He saw a warehouse full of salt yesterday.

"You don't understand. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Xujiaqiao's radius of a hundred miles. No matter how much salt there is in the east courtyard, they can't stop them from rushing to buy it!" Sister-in-law Luo rolled her eyes at Zhao Yuan.

"Why are they panic buying?"

"I'm not very sure. It seems like someone said last night that we won't be able to buy salt anymore. Early this morning, many people lined up to buy it, and then they got out of hand. This person can't help but eat salt, no.

If you eat salt, you will have no strength. Do you think they can stop being anxious?"

"Do they all believe it?" Zhao Yuan felt a little incredible, because although salt is a necessity, it is consumed very little. A pack of salt can last for several months. The inventory of Wanjia is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people in Xujiaqiao for more than a year.

, there is no need to rush to buy.

"Don't you believe this?" Mrs. Luo glanced at the noisy tenants, "It's even more exaggerated outside. If you don't believe it, just go out and take a look and you will know."

"Well, let me take a look."

Zhao Yuan ran to the door, stretched his head and looked outside, and couldn't help but gasped. In front of the row of shops facing the street in the west courtyard, there was a dark crowd, occupying the entire street. There were probably thousands of them.

There were more people than there were when we gave out porridge on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

"Are there many people?" Sister-in-law Luo asked when she saw Zhao Yuan coming back.

"A lot."

"That's just here. In Xujiaqiao, all the salt shops are filled with people queuing up to sell salt. Except for Wanjia, many shops have stopped selling salt. Think about it, if we open it up for them to buy, the salt in the east courtyard warehouse will

How long can it last?”

Zhao Yuan shook his head. Just as Sister-in-law Luo said, no matter how much salt you have, you can't stop hundreds of thousands of people from rushing to buy it.

Look at the rush-buying behavior. It’s not just one or two packs. Many people are carrying baskets, hoping that the salt they buy can last ten or eight years.

Things are extraordinary.

Zhao Yuan is very clear about this hyped business model.

There are definitely merchants who are speculating and creating rumors and raising prices. Faced with this momentum, Wanjia has only two options. First, open a position to put some salt in it and suppress the rumors with the advantage of quantity; second, be reluctant to sell, take the opportunity to raise prices, and

Those bad businesses make money together.

But for Wanjia, neither the first nor the second method is the best choice. As Sister-in-law Luo said, no matter how much Wanjia salt is, it cannot withstand hundreds of thousands of people rushing to buy it. If we let go

For sale, it is estimated that they will be sold out within an hour. Once thousands of households run out of salt, the rumors will get worse and cause panic.

There are many uncertain consequences of being reluctant to sell.

When Wanjia is reluctant to sell, those merchants who create rumors will definitely reap the benefits. They cannot have as much salt as Wanjia. As long as Wanjia is reluctant to sell, they will immediately sell the goods at a high price. In the end, the mess will still be dumped to Wanjia.

Wan's family may not have made much money yet, and others have already left, but Wan's family has been accused of being a profiteer.

Obviously, some businesses are now watching Wanjia eagerly, waiting for an opportunity to take action...



"Madam, some tenants are clamoring to see you." Zhu Dapao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What's the matter with salt?"

"Yes, now the Xiao family and some small shops have stopped selling. In the entire Xujiaqiao, only Wanjia is still selling limited quantities. The stocks in each store are running out. It is estimated that they can last for an hour at most before they need to transfer goods from the east courtyard warehouse.

.”

"How long can the goods from the east hospital last?" he asked.

"There are a lot of goods in the east courtyard warehouse, but now that it's time to pickle bacon, the salt consumption of each household has increased. Coupled with the panic buying by tenant farmers, if the purchase is really liberalized, it is estimated that they will not be able to last for a day."

"Can't there be a limit?"

"It is a folk custom to pickle bacon for the winter. Many people slaughter their animals and store the salted bacon for the next year. If the quantity is completely limited, it will cause panic. Many tenants are afraid and say they will go to their relatives. If this continues, it will inevitably affect next spring's plowing.

"

"It's such a headache." Mrs. Chen rubbed the center of her brows with a tired look on her face.
