After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 61 Public outrage subsides
Li Wei walked up to those people with a gentle look on his face, "We all know everyone's demands. Our boss has said that peace brings wealth, and we will never use violence."

Unexpectedly, at this time, the man who had shouted to grab the food couldn't help it, and punched Li Wei. Li Wei was knocked to the ground all of a sudden, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. As long as Li Wei counterattacked, it would soon turn into a melee.

Li Wei got up and stopped the brothers who wanted to stand up for him. "As a manager, people who buy rice grains cannot buy rice. It is indeed because of my poor management."

The man was a little cowered at first, but he was also a little stunned when he heard this. How come this development was different from what he imagined.

"Little brother, you said you can't buy rice here, can you tell me why?"

He blushed and hesitated: "Why, isn't it just that I can't buy it every time I come here?"

A boy in the shop couldn't help but argue: "The price of our rice has not increased by a penny. New rice and old rice are at the same price as before. It's just that there are more people buying rice. As long as those who come early can buy it, there is nothing they can't buy!"

Some people in the crowd also calmed down. Yes, other grain stores either had ridiculously high prices or had closed their doors long ago. Only the Dejitang family insisted on selling grain, and the prices remained unchanged.

Seeing that the public anger gradually subsided, Li Wei also felt confident. He said loudly: "Our boss said that life is difficult now, so even if we encounter many difficulties, we have been selling grain. I hope that these days will pass quickly."

The difficulty he mentioned was that he was blocked at the door by everyone trying to grab food?

Everyone was embarrassed but calmed down and listened to him.

"We have both new rice and old rice."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone sarcastically said, "Returning new rice? Is it all sent to please the dignitaries? Poor people like us, every time we come here, we can't even see any new rice."

After listening to what he said, not to mention Li Wei and the others, even those around him looked at him strangely.

"What, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Li Wei smiled and was not annoyed at all, "This little brother is right. You came late. The new rice is indeed sold out."

An aunt, carrying a basket, laughed at him: "It seems that you came late. I came earlier earlier and queued up to buy their new rice. Where is the new rice sold exclusively to the nobles?"

The waiter in the shop also joined in, "This aunt is right. We give rice to noble people because they are registered in the register and paid the waiter fee. Now the registration is also open. If you want to be treated by our waiter, Wouldn’t it be nice to go and register if you want to send rice?”

Unexpectedly, someone else jumped out to retort, "Bah! You are not ashamed, so tell me, why are all the people registered?"

"Don't be impatient." Li Wei signaled the young man to go back. He bowed and said, "Looking at the way this young man is dressed, I guess he is also a scholar."

"Yes, so what?"

"Then you should know that Mr. Wang, the master of calligraphy, is also registered. He doesn't have any official titles at all."

The scholar was speechless and could only listen to what he said.

"Our boss does prefer officials and officials when registering, but we are also considering these things for you." These words are like adding hot oil to cold water, and the resentment that had disappeared was suddenly aroused again.

Li Wei said nothing and waited quietly for their denunciations.

With the previous explanation, although everyone was still resentful, they were willing to listen to him.

"We, Deji Tang, have always hoped to tide over the difficulties together with you. We also have our own considerations in selecting officials to send new rice to." He took a deep breath and continued: "Please think about it, other rice and grain stores also have Big grain merchants with shops all over the world can no longer survive in this world. Why? Is it because they don’t have enough rice?
No, it’s because they sell grain normally, and soon there will be a large number of people squeezing in to grab it. Some families have a whole yard of rice, and some people don’t grab a grain of rice. But in our family, early There is a limit per person, so it doesn't sell out all at once. "

Some people in the crowd began to think that if this was really the case, it would not be a long-term solution. Instead, the distribution of rice and grain would be uneven and many people would starve to death.

Xie Li stepped forward with a cold face, "Everyone, please think about it, if you don't specifically send food to the officials, these rich and powerful people would have hired many people to queue up to buy rice and noodles, and they still wouldn't be able to get it. Are we ordinary people?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. Everyone knew that Zhumen's bones would freeze to death if they drank wine and meat, and they realized that if it hadn't been like this, Deji Hall would have run out of food to sell.

Li Wei spoke sincerely despite his red and swollen face and bloody mouth, "My boss mentioned it to me before, but I didn't realize that it was my fault that something like this happened. Please forgive me."

When it comes to this aspect, everyone is a little happy, and some even shed tears in private.

The former scholar was also full of apologies, "Manager Li, I haven't eaten at home for many days, and my mother is seriously ill in bed, so my words and deeds are extreme. Please forgive me. I hope Deji Hall will continue to open!"

Others also echoed, "Yes, yes, it's our fault today. We will never cause trouble in the future. Please keep driving!"

"Please keep Deji Hall open!"

The sound became louder and louder, and more and more people joined in. Even Jing Zhaoyi, who came in a hurry, expressed emotion on his face.

Dejitang is indeed a good business that considers the people.

Li Wei showed a relieved smile and bowed deeply: "Li Wei is very grateful for your understanding. This is also the blessing of Deji Hall."

The crowd was in a commotion again. They were all moved by Li Wei's words and deeds, and felt guilty for his extraordinary actions. Deji Hall almost disappeared because of them!
"Starting today, in order to ensure that more people can buy rice, we have decided to register everyone who buys rice. Anyone who has bought rice will not be allowed to buy it again within three days. We ask for your understanding."

"Real-name registration? Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Li Wei bowed again, "We are currently experiencing a shortage of food, so please understand, but our Deji Hall has a lot of potatoes in stock, so you can buy with confidence! The quantity is enough!"

He smiled and released another important piece of news: "Our boss promises that as long as there is a grain of rice left in the granary, we will never increase the price!"

Now people's last trace of reluctance is gone. As long as they have not committed any crime, they are all happy to see this decision come to fruition.

Jing Zhaoyi also came over, "I strongly agree with Deji Hall's decision. Only in this way can more people eat. I have decided to dispatch ten officers every day to cooperate with Deji Hall to register!"

"it is good!"

People cheered and queued up obediently. Some people even rushed to ask each other if they were in trouble at home. If so, they could give up the opportunity to buy food today.

Ke Yiqing sat on the carriage and persisted until now. Finally, the matter was finally resolved...

Li Wei smiled and greeted everyone. After registering to sell grain and everything was on track, he walked outside the carriage to inform her of the results. After talking for a long time but not hearing a reply, he was confused.

"lady?"

I don't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that there seemed to be some bloody smell in the carriage.

Suppressing the unpleasant feeling in his heart, he boldly lifted the curtain to take a look, only to see Ke Yiqing fainted on the couch with a yellow face and white lips, and the skirt of her lower body was already stained red with blood.
