    When Zhang Tu arrived home, the people at the door had already dispersed, leaving Sun De alone, standing there dumbfounded, as if he were a clay or wooden sculpture.

    "Master Taifu, look there"

    As soon as he got off the car and was about to enter the house, a young eunuch pointed at Sun Deyi and said.

    "It's a blessing for you to take this little guy home and tell him that he will live or die wherever he goes. It's not a shame for a grown man!"

    Zhang Tu originally wanted to go over and see him, but feeling the cold wind blowing on his buttocks, he had no intention of talking nonsense with him, so he had better go back and change clothes.

    After taking a short rest, he had to go to Lieutenant Li Ji to discuss the deployment of troops.

    After all, although these five thousand people do not need to be elite, they must be safe and reliable. For a long time in the future, these people will not be prepared to withdraw from there.

    The Kingdom of Dai is different from the Kingdom of Wu. The territory of Dai needs to guard against the invasion of the Huns all year round, so troops need to be stationed everywhere.

    He has already transferred a thousand people before. Now, if he transfers five thousand people again, it will be even more difficult for the country's already stretched military strength.

    But now Zhang Tu can't live so much. After all, the matter over Yanchi is the top priority. Originally, this matter was not so urgent, but now that little beast Liu Xian is making such a fuss, if he doesn't hurry up  If time passes, I'm afraid there will really be a big mess.

    Zhang Tu worked hard all night. He took a shower and changed his clothes. While yawning, he went to Lieutenant Li Ji's house to discuss the deployment of troops.

    Liu Xian was not idle. After the businessmen came out of Wang's house, they began to send their men to spread the news overnight.

    Along the way, when these people delivered the news, they deliberately chose crowded places. This was also part of Liu Xian's plan.

    Only by arousing public panic can this matter be carried out more thoroughly. Originally, the salt merchants in the country did not have much inventory in their hands, and if people were looting frantically, Liu Deng would probably have to do it in less than ten days.  Release all the salt in your hands.

    "Otherwise, I'm afraid the salt shortage in Dai Country will get out of hand."

    But as long as he goes out to buy salt, Liu Xian and others have a lot of copper coins in their hands, and they will naturally be able to empty out all the salt reserves in the country.

    By that time, Liu Xian would naturally have the capital to slowly spend time with Liu Deng.

    After this night of fermentation, the news spread like wildfire that big businessmen began to rush to hoard salt. Before dawn the next day, long queues were already forming at the entrances of major shops in Jinyang City.

    Ma Ji Trading Company, one of the few large trading houses in Dai Kingdom, is also one of the main sales channels for coarse salt in Dai Kingdom.

    There are also more than 20,000 stones of coarse salt stored in the warehouse. Originally, these products did not sell well because they were so bitter.

    But today, this thing suddenly became a bestseller. From the shopkeeper to the waiter, no one realized what was going on.

    In less than one morning, nearly a thousand stones were sold, which made the shopkeeper Du happy.

    "Shopkeeper, I wonder how much salt you still have here?"

    At noon, an old man came to the lobby of Malaysia.

    "What's your surname, guest officer?"

    The shopkeeper looked him up and down. The old man was very unfamiliar, but his tone was unusually loud. For a moment, he didn't dare to offend him.

    "You don't need to worry about my name or my name. We pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. I wonder how much salt you still have in your hands?"

    The old man smiled slightly and asked disapprovingly.

    "Although the trumpet is not big, I still have more than 18,000 stones left in my hand. From what you say, are you prepared to take them all?"

    The shopkeeper looked at the old man in disbelief.

    "That's right, the shopkeeper, please give me a price, I want all these things!"

    This time the shopkeeper is in trouble. If it were normal times, he would be happy to have such a big customer.

    But now, with the price of salt rising three times a day, he is really undecided!

    "Can you please wait a moment? For such a big deal, I have to ask my boss for permission!"

    The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and then said.

    "Please!"

    The old man was very polite and sat directly on the chair next to him.I picked up a handful of melon seeds on the table and ate them leisurely.

    ¡°Serve this old gentleman tea, the best tea!¡±

    The shopkeeper gave an order, bowed to the old man, and then hurried straight to the backyard.

    "Young Master, a big customer is here. He wants to round all our salt, and he also asks us to set a price. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

    "Is there such a thing?"

    As the eldest son of the Ma family, Ma Junjie has taken over the business for many years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a big customer.

    "At this time, apart from the big salt merchants, the only people who can buy coarse salt in such a large amount are officials. Does that person have official habits?"

    Ma Junjie asked hesitantly.

    "There is no trace of officialdom, and his accent is not that of Dai. It seems that he should be from Chu!"

    The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then recalled it.

    "Chu people? Let's do this. Don't ask about his origins. Go and tell him that if he wants to make a round, the current market price will be increased by 30%. Moreover, I want all of it in silver, not private money made by Chu State!"

    Ma Junjie thought for a moment and then said.

    "The young master has thought carefully, I will go back to him right now!"

    Of course the shopkeeper understands that after this crisis has passed, no matter which side wins or loses, the people of Dai will still have to eat salt in the end. The salt produced in Dai is bitter and unbearable, so it can only be purchased from Chu or Wu.

    "If you offend those people, I'm afraid you won't have to do any business in the future. At this time, you don't even ask about the purpose of business. Even if the court chases you down, it won't have much to do with them."

    "I have kept you waiting for a long time. You should also know that the current price of salt is rising three times a day. If you want to cover everything, the price will be higher"

    The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

    "No problem, even if the shopkeeper makes an offer, I won't counter-offer!"

    The old man was very confident, and his confidence made the shopkeeper feel a little uneasy.

    "Then add 30% to the current market price, what do you think?"

    The shopkeeper asked tentatively.

    "No problem! I pay all in cash, and I don't need you to deliver the goods. Now you can put up the sold out sign!"

    To the shopkeeper¡¯s surprise, the old man had no intention of counter-offering.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
