Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

"Misunderstand?"

A silver bell-like voice came from outside the tent, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. A beautiful girl in goose yellow clothes stepped in. It was the young girl who had been secretly observing Lin Xiao on the ridge of the field just now!
She walked up to Lin Xiao quickly, her cheeks puffed up with anger, stared at Lin Xiao, pointed at Lin Xiao angrily and cursed:

"You salty genius! Go outside and see what kind of life the people are living in today! Salt is more expensive than gold, who can afford it?! It's all thanks to your brother's workshop! Are you ashamed to say you misunderstood? Why is your face so big?!"

The girl accused Lin Xiao angrily, while roaring, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry.

Facing the accusations and insults from the crowd, Lin Xiao, who knew it well, did not panic at all. She spoke slowly and steadily:

"Please give me seven days, my lord, and I will solve the situation that salt is more expensive than gold!"

Lin Xiao knew that the current situation would not be convincing just by explaining, so she had to prove her ability first!

"Haha. Alright, after seven days, I will personally go to see how you solved the problem that salt is more expensive than gold!"

Prince Hao Lian laughed wildly three times, and then led the crowd towards the outside of the camp.

Seeing Prince Helian's back disappearing at the gate of the camp, Lin Xiao's expression darkened instantly.

Although the selling price of table salt is not uniform, it is not so ridiculously high, there must be something strange in it!
It's just... She couldn't figure out whether the sudden increase in the price of salt was Li Yuyan's idea or Yu Xilin's plan to alienate her?
"You really can finish it in seven days?"

The young girl was still a little skeptical, and asked again worriedly.

"Naturally! Since I, Lin Xiao, say what I say, I will definitely do what I say!"

Lin Xiao glanced at the young girl coldly, and saw the jade pendant hanging around the girl's neck.

This jade pendant is exactly the same as the jade pendant on Prince Hao Lian's waist, presumably the two have a close relationship, if they build a good relationship with her, it will be beneficial in the future!
Thinking of this, a bright light flashed across Lin Xiao's eyes, and he immediately withdrew his eyes, revealing a faint smile:

"You haven't asked the girl's honorable name yet?"

The young girl was wary of this handsome "boy" in front of her. She was unwilling to reveal her true identity, but she did not refuse Lin Xiao's proposal either.

"My name is Xiyue."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a yellow warbler, which made Lin Xiao, who is also a woman, couldn't help but look at her a few more times:
"Xiyue, Xiyue, what a nice name!"

"Don't be glib! I warn you, within seven days, you must give me a good result!"

The girl snorted coldly, her tone was rather unfriendly, Lin Xiao was noncommittal, but thought to herself:

This girl has a hot temper!

"By the way, what if you don't deal with this matter after seven days?"

Xiyue suddenly thought of something, she narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Xiao.

She always felt that the "boy" in front of her was not simple, and she didn't like him.

"Just wait and see. If I really haven't solved this problem after seven days, you can kill me!"

Lin Xiao said lightly, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Xiyue didn't expect Lin Xiao to say that, she was startled, and after a while, she suddenly sneered:
"You're quite arrogant! Hmph, don't beg the prince to spare you then!"

"Then wait and see!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and countered.

When Xiyue heard the words, she was choked and speechless. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said:
"Okay, just seven days, I'll wait!"

If you want to know why salt is more expensive than gold, you need to do market research yourself.

Lin Xiao disguised herself as a businessman, and with the permission of Prince Helian, asked Yu Xilin to accompany her to a market about half a day away from the camp.

It is said to be accompanied, but in fact it is guarded.

Lin Xiao didn't care about this, but she was more wary of Yu Xilin.

There are not many people setting up stalls in this market, but the things for sale are quite complete.

Jewelry, fabrics, rouge and gouache. There are even children's toys.

Lin Xiao came to a stall selling rouge and gouache. Just as he was about to chat with the stall owner, he heard a noise coming from not far away.

"What happened? Yesterday a jar of salt was sold for [-] coppers, why is it [-] coppers today?"

"Whether you like it or not, today is the price!"

"Aren't you too dark-hearted? Salt is so expensive, why don't you let people live?"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't buy it now, it won't be the same price tomorrow!"

……

Many people who eat melons surrounded the booth, and everyone dared not speak out, but could only stare angrily at the waiter of the grain and oil shop selling salt.

Five hundred coppers and a jar of salt? ? ?

Isn't this an obvious robbery!

Lin Xiao slandered secretly in his heart, couldn't help frowning, and unconsciously came to the booth where the dispute occurred.

Rows of salt jars were neatly placed aside, and the names and unique trademarks of the brother workshops were clearly engraved on the jars.

While looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Xiao pondered in his heart:

These salts are indeed produced by the brother workshops, but how could the price become so outrageous?
Just when she was wondering, the shady voice of the waiter from the grain and oil shop sounded from above her head again:

"You poor bastards, if you don't have money to buy them, leave me alone! Don't surround me here and interfere with my business!"

"Outrageous! Outrageous! Outrageous! Salt is so much more expensive than gold, isn't this bullying?!"

A burst of cursing suddenly sounded from the crowd.

Lin Xiao looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a familiar person not far away.

Xiyue!

Why is this girl here?
Xiyue gave Lin Xiao a supercilious look, walked straight to the stall of the grain and oil shop, put her hands on her hips, looked like a shrew, pointed at the waiter at the grain and oil shop and cursed loudly:
"You fat pig, you actually raised the price of salt so high, and robbery is nothing more than that!"

The clerk at the grain and oil shop became furious when he heard the words. He rolled up his sleeves, pointed at Xiyue's nose and scolded:
"Little girl, keep your mouth clean! Lao Tzu's salt is at this price! Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, you don't have to buy it!"

After finishing speaking, the clerk at the grain and oil shop turned his head to look at the crowd eating melons, his eyes were full of contempt:
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, today you can buy a jar of salt for five hundred copper coins, but not tomorrow!"

The onlookers were all silent when they heard the words, and the errand of the grain and oil shop became even more arrogant when he saw this, and he continued:

"Those who have money, hurry up and put away the salt! Those who don't have money, get out!"

"I just don't get out, why?!"

Xiyue looked at Xiao Er at the grain and oil shop with a fierce look on her face, she seemed to have put all her money into it without any fear!
"Don't get out? Heh, little girl, it seems that if you don't give you some color, you won't have a long memory!"

Hearing the words, the waiter at the grain and oil store had a look of ferocity flashing across his face, and he raised his fist, making a gesture to strike.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly stretched out his right palm to grab Xiao Er's fist, and kicked him in the stomach.

"Ow!"

Xiao Er let out a scream, and took a few steps back holding his stomach. He covered his stomach and knelt down in pain:

"You, you dare to kick me, believe it or not, I will kill you?!"

"Oh! It's up to you? Who do you think you are?" Lin Xiao pouted contemptuously, "Call out your shopkeeper, I have to ask his last name!"
