Chapter 522: Yi Xiaotian collects salt, and those who wish take the bait
The appearance of Pang Degong was quite unexpected.
The great hermit that Liu Biao had not invited at first appeared in front of him naturally. This was a big gain.
But why did Mr. Pang De appear? Yi Xiaotian got the answer from his words.
"I'm just a farmer, and I can't afford to go all over the north. I wish Cao Cao the honor of conquering the north and south, and being the owner of the village. I met you today, but I just passed by by chance. I saw this strange shop, so I wanted to take a closer look..."
"I know a little bit about the conflict between Master Yi and the aristocratic family, but this matter about the salt shop... Can Master Yi help me clear up my doubts?"
Pang Degong's words were neither humble nor arrogant. Although his appearance just now was a bit embarrassing, as he was carried out by Xu Chu, at this moment he was not timid at all, but gave everyone a feeling of spring breeze.
"It turns out that Mr. Pang stopped here because of this incident..."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter."
Yi Xiaotian definitely respects hermits like Pang Degong. People like them who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and are not interested in fame and fortune have probably had nothing to do with the world. Although compared to the likes of Zongheng and Hehe, Yi Xiaotian feels that he is not weaker than the other party, but
After all, Yi Xiaotian felt that he was definitely not as virtuous as people like Pang Degong.
Yi Xiaotian has no objection to being able to make friends with such a person. Since there is no harm in it, it doesn’t matter if he talks about it a little:
"Actually, Yi just wants to give some relief to ordinary salt merchants who are about to suffer losses——"
"I'm fighting against the Family Alliance, but I don't want to hurt innocent people... I can buy salt at such a high price and give them some compensation, so that I can live with it..."
"As for how to choose, Yi has put the power in their hands. It's up to them to decide."
"I opened the store early today just to wait for Li Yue to arrive..."
"As for that..."
Yi Xiaotian felt that he no longer needed to explain, because after Li Yue left, the impact it had had already appeared——
Pang Degong looked behind Yi Xiaotian doubtfully——
I saw a salt merchant who looked a little haggard, hesitating, and as the first person to walk uprightly towards a salt shop, he had completely opened the floodgates...
"May I ask... is what Mr. Yi says on this sign credible?"
Yi Xiaotian signaled Pang Degong to wait a moment and walked towards the businessman with a smile:
"Is it true? Even though you saw Li Yue with your own eyes, you didn't dare to do anything to my store. As for what the sign says... As long as you have salt in your hands, I will take as much as you have!"
"Xu Chu!"
"coming!"
Yi Xiaotian regretted behind him, and Xu Chu walked directly into the room...
It turns out that the store is not completely empty.
Behind the empty counter, there are two huge boxes.
Xu Chu shouldered it, walked to the door aggressively, and then opened the lock of the box in front of the businessman.
Now... it wasn't just the businessman who was hesitating to sell the salt in his hands to Yi Xiaotian.
Even Pang Degong, who was indifferent to fame and fortune and lived in seclusion in the mountains, couldn't help but rub his eyes...
"I...I saw it right!"
"Hey! Look... there... in the store on the other side, that box is full of gold!"
The bright light literally lit up the entire sky.
Even if the sun is high in the sky, it cannot cover up the overflowing golden light.
With two large boxes full of gold, Yi Xiaotian smiled and shouted to the crowd on the other side who was about to disperse:
"Until these two boxes of gold are spent, I, Yi Xiaotian, will collect as much refined salt, green smoke and coarse salt as you have!"
Wow——
What is a frying pan?
This is called a frying pan...
Yi Xiaotian's words were the final fuse, directly igniting the enthusiasm of the onlookers.
In fact, Yi Xiaotian's preparation for today has only been completed now.
Mr. Pang Degong also suddenly understood, shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"First... sir... what... is going on? Why do they suddenly come to sell salt like crazy?"
The young man was a little confused. In fact, if Yi Xiaotian hadn't explained it to Huang Yueying, Zhen Luo and others earlier, they would have definitely been dizzy.
Yes, everything today was just designed by Yi Xiaotian a long time ago.
It is not clear that the stupid Li Yue fell into the trap and made Yi Xiaotian a wedding dress. He was still on the way back home, scolding Yi Xiaotian for his shamelessness.
"If Li Yue doesn't come today, it will really give Master Yi a blow. It's a pity that he hasn't figured it out at all."
"Actually, at first, I didn't think this store could be opened normally... because as long as people from the family don't come, no one would dare to really try..."
"But Li Yue represents Ma Mansion, and basically represents the Family Alliance. He just came here to say a few harsh words, which means that they have no way to take advantage of Master Yi's salt shop."
"Didn't he indirectly promote this salt shop and strengthen the strength of this salt shop to those wavering salt merchants?"
Pang Degong shrugged and pointed to the large box of gold in the distance.
"At this time, Master Yi will take out the gold and show his financial strength, and everything will naturally fall into place..."
While Pound was speaking, some people even jumped into the river and swam to the salt shop on the other side in order to get ahead.
"Come one by one, sell first to the first one! Price? You want to ask about the price?"
"Isn't this all written on it? No more, no less, I will buy as much as you have!"
"The salt is not around? If it is not around, hurry back and bring it!"
The scene of selling salt was so hot that even the well-informed Mr. Pang De sighed repeatedly.
Xu Chu and Le Jin, one on the left and one on the right, maintained order.
Huang Yueying and Zhen Luo were busy keeping accounts. In such a lively scene, some were selling for one stone, some were selling for one tael... Slowly, some were selling for ten stones.
Some people sell refined salt...and some people sell coarse salt...
According to those salt merchants, this fool's money will not be earned in vain...
Yes, they do think Yi Xiaotian is a fool, but they don't know that Yi Xiaotian is just playing a very big game of chess.
Since noon, Yi Xiaotian has not sat down again. He has been busy until the market closes in the evening. There is a salt shop filled with all kinds of salt. Fortunately, there are two free coolies, Xu Chu and Le Jin.
Everything is so orderly.
As a result, the entire back room of the shop was filled with gold. Only half of the gold in the first box was gone. At this rate...
Pang Degong left and said hello to Yi Xiaotian briefly, saying that he would come back tomorrow.
Naturally, Yi Xiaotian didn't stay any longer. He knew he couldn't keep such a person.
But Yi Xiaotian was not as happy as he imagined:
"It seems that I still can't convince all these people."
"Sir...isn't this salt enough?"
Listening to Yi Xiaotian's feeling of dissatisfaction, Zhen Luo asked doubtfully from the side.
"Not enough... I should say far from enough... I'm afraid many people are waiting for the meaning of the Family Alliance... Xu Chu, have you done everything I asked you to do today?"
"If we go back to Xi'an, it seems that the Cai's and Ma's salt shops are not open today. I heard that after Li Yue returned, Ma's Salt Shop said that they would also buy private salt tomorrow..."
"No wonder…"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian finally showed a sly smile.
"The reaction is dissatisfaction, but... they don't seem to realize what they are going to face."
Yi Xiaotian said this in his heart, but he greeted everyone to go back home. Today's victory has been numerous, it is time to celebrate.
