Chapter 14 The Salt Rebellion

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

There are several tips for cutting flies.

fast!

quasi!

ruthless!

Fast is the speed, and the speed must be several times faster than the moment the fly flies; accuracy is the eyesight, which is to spot the position of the fly; Take a full blow, don't hesitate, the opportunity is fleeting.

It is easy for Guo to chop flies with an axe. He sits on a small wooden bench with a heavy ax in his hand. Whenever a fly lands on the wooden pier, the ax in his hand flashes and the fly is split into two pieces. Don't sloppy.

There is no difficulty in being fast, the speed at which the ax cuts down far exceeds the speed at which the flies fly, and it is difficult for Zhao Yuan to be accurate, because a fly is just such a small black spot, and it will appear in any uncertain position , or suddenly fly away, it is very difficult to lock.

Zhao Yuan discovered that when Guo Ax chopped flies, his eyes would freeze suddenly.There is no doubt that this is a locking process.

In the end, Zhao Yuan came up with a conclusion: use your heart.

"I want to chop" and "intent" have the same effect. As long as you put your heart into it, 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 "accurate". .

In just fifteen days, Zhao Yuan mastered the essentials of cutting flies.

During these fifteen days, Zhao Yuan helped Guo Ax chop firewood in his spare time. In fact, there is not much difference between chopping firewood and flies. Among them, as long as you master certain skills and be 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 Futou can swing freely. At present, Zhao Yuan can only hit the fly when he is calm and concentrated, and his wrist strength is not enough.As for Guo Futou, he had already done whatever he wanted, he could chop whatever he wanted, and the heavy iron ax was light in his hand, as if it had a spirituality.

Guo Futou was very surprised at Zhao Yuan's learning speed, because he cut the flies, but he first chopped the wood for five years, and then spent three full years practicing cutting the flies, while Zhao Yuan did it in just half a month.

In fact, Guo Futou didn't understand the gap between him and Zhao Yuan. At the beginning, he groped in the "darkness" and chopped flies with brute force. It took three years to turn brute force into skillful strength.As for Zhao Yuan, in addition to being guided by Guo Futou, he chopped with "heart" from the beginning, so naturally he got twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, there is another reason. Zhao Yuan learned some calculation methods and physics knowledge from Gauss, and cutting flies actually has a great relationship with calculation. There are similarities in direction, angle, and speed between the two.

Time passed unknowingly, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Yuan helped Jia Deafzi clean up, and was concentrating on chopping wood and practicing strength, when suddenly, there was a sound of quarreling in the yard.

In the East Court, quarrels are extremely rare.

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

Zhao Yuan surrounded him, but there was a tenant from the Wan family clamoring to exchange the excess grain for salt, but Zhu Dapao had already spoken, and the salt stored in the East Yard was strictly prohibited from being bought and exchanged, even the shops under the Wanjia were not allowed to buy from the East Yard. Transport the salt.

During the quarrel, some rent-paying tenants came one after another. The more and more people gathered, they all clamored to change the salt, and the sky turned upside down.Zhu Dapao, who was usually strolling around the compound, went somewhere, and there was no one to be seen, and some workers couldn't make decisions, so they were very anxious.

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

"You don't know yet! The salt market is running out, and Wanjia's store outside has not much stock, so the East Court naturally can't deliver the goods."

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

"You don't understand now. Xujiaqiao has a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are hundreds of thousands of people here. No matter how much salt there is in the east courtyard, they can't keep them from rushing to buy it!" Sister Luo gave Zhao Yuan a white look.

"Why are they snapping up?"

"I'm not very clear. It seems that someone said last night that you will no longer be able to buy salt. Early this morning, many people lined up to buy it, and then got out of hand. This person must eat salt, no If you eat salt, you will lose strength, tell me, can they not be in a hurry!"

"They all believe it?" Zhao Yuan felt a little unbelievable, because although salt is a necessity, it is consumed very little. A pack of salt can be eaten for several months. With the inventory of Wanjia, it is enough to feed 10 people in Xujiaqiao for more than a year. , there is no need to rush to buy.

"Don't you believe it!" Mrs. Luo glanced at the noisy tenants, "It's even more exaggerated outside. If you don't believe me, go out and have a look."

"Well, let me see."

Zhao Yuan ran to the door, stretched his head to look outside, he couldn't help gasping, in front of the row of shops facing the street in the west courtyard, there was a dark crowd, occupying the entire street, probably thousands of people, There are more people than when the porridge was given out on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

"Is there a lot of people?" Mrs. Luo asked when Zhao Yuan came back.

"A lot."

"That's just here. In Xujiaqiao, all the shops that sell salt are lined up to sell salt. Except for Wanjia, many shops have stopped selling. Think about it, if they are opened to buy, the salt in the East Court warehouse will How long can it last?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head, just as Mrs. Luo said, no amount of salt can hold up to 10 people rushing to buy it.

Looking at the panic buying, it is not a pack of two packs. Many people are carrying baskets, wishing that the salt they bought can last for ten or eight years.

Something is out of the ordinary.

Zhao Yuan is too aware of this hyped business model.

There are definitely merchants speculating and making rumors to raise prices.Faced with this momentum, Wanjia has only two choices. First, open a warehouse to release salt and suppress rumors with a quantitative advantage;

But for Wanjia, neither the first method nor the second method is the best choice.As Mrs. Luo said, no matter how much Wanjia salt there is, it will not be able to hold 10 people rushing to buy it. If it is sold out, it will be sold out in an hour.

There are many uncertain sequelae that are reluctant to sell.

When Wanjia is reluctant to sell, those merchants who create rumors will definitely take advantage of it. It is impossible for them to have as much salt as Wanjia. As long as Wanjia is reluctant to sell, they will immediately dump the goods at a high price. Wanjia, Wanjia may not have earned much money, and others have already withdrawn, but Wanjia has been charged as a profiteer.

Obviously, some merchants are now eyeing Wanjia, waiting for an opportunity to make a move...

……

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

"What about the salt?"

"Yes, now Xiaojia and some small shops have stopped selling. In the entire Xujiaqiao, only Wanjia is still selling in limited quantities. The stocks of each shop are running out. It is estimated that they can last for an hour at most and they will have to transfer goods from the East Court warehouse. .”

"How long can the East Court's goods last?" asked.

"There are a lot of goods in the warehouse of the East Courtyard, but now it's time to pickle the bacon, and the salt consumption of each household has already increased. In addition, the tenants and residents are rushing to buy it. If the purchase is really released, it is estimated that it will not be able to last a day."

"Isn't there a limit?"

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

"It's really a headache." Chen rubbed the center of his brows, with a tired look on his face.
