Chapter 84 Free Tasting

Wang Jian knew that although Liu Bai liked to trick him on weekdays, he was still very reassuring in his words and actions. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't value him so much, right?

But what can his old buddies and their families do?

"Consort, I wonder what job you have given them?"

Liu Bai sat by himself by the table, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and asked.

"Uncle Wang, why don't you tell me how they are doing?"

Wang Jian glanced at him, hey, this brat is really pushing his limits.

"Boy, that's a bad name for you!"

Liu Bai thought he would object to her closeness, but unexpectedly he thought he was being called a bad guy.

"Then I can't call you grandpa, right? Look at your face now, how do you look like grandpa?"

"screw you!"

After laughing and scolding, Wang Jian began to introduce the situation of those people.

"Some of them had their fathers and sons killed in the war, and now only orphans and widows are left; others, although they were not killed in the war, are missing arms and legs and cannot do anything like farming..."

"I only help people who live near the capital. Although I have the heart to help people from other places, I am powerless..."

After listening to Wang Jian's words, Liu Bai completely understood.

To put it bluntly, if father and son died in battle, only their family members would be left.

There is no man in the family, even if the land is exchanged for the head, how can the remaining orphans and widows survive?

The current situation, even if you think about it, is not much better.

Those who did not die in the battle also lost their ability to work and were unable to farm at all.

In today's agriculture-based era, the inability to farm means no food.

If the Qin people are like this, then the situation of the defeated six countries is probably even worse!

Now that it has been unified, people from all countries must be treated equally in all aspects.

Only in this way can their hearts turn towards Da Qin!

But that’s all for later, it’s important to resolve the immediate matters first.

"Uncle Wang...well, Grandpa Wang...forget it, old general, what is the character of these people and their families?"

Wang Jian stroked his beard and said.

"The character of my old Qin people is of course impeccable, not to mention that they are from the military, and they are very disciplined and follow orders and prohibitions..."

Liu Bai lowered his head and pondered while listening.

Not only the salt shop needs people, but also the perfume shop, book shop, tea shop and other shops behind it need people.

Now that we're here, it's better to settle it all at once.

I don't know if these people in the military can do business.

I don’t even know if they are willing to do business.

"Old General, in this way, you have a better understanding of their situation. Please select a few households with the worst situation first..."

"Now that my salt shop has opened, it needs about two to three people. It is best to choose people who are literate and can count and let them be the shopkeepers.

"There are also tea shops, bookstores and the like in the back, and we can also arrange a few. As for the others, we can only leave it to the future!

"Oh, by the way, if we find two more women, Man'er's rouge shop will also need people by then!"

Wang Jian nodded when he heard this. It's not easy for this boy to think of these people!

But the meaning behind these words made Wang Jian a little surprised.

For these people, the court did not provide compensation.

He had mentioned it to His Majesty before, but the court had been debating for a long time and could not figure out how to arrange them.

Why does it seem to be an extremely simple thing in this kid's mouth?

"I wonder how the consort plans to arrange them in the future?"

Liu Bai thought to himself, why is this so difficult?

"Build a few factories, and one or two hundred people can be packed into each factory, or develop environmental protection, build a few roads and collect tolls... Oh, it's a lot anyway, but you have to take your time!"

Wang Jian listened for a long time and tried to follow Liu Bai's thoughts, but finally found that it was in vain.

Is I getting old?

I can understand every word of this word, but why do I feel like I am confused when I put them together, and I can’t understand anything at all?

But it doesn't matter, since the prince-in-law has a solution, he is half relieved.

Take your time, there is finally something to look forward to!

"By the way, if they don't want to come, don't force them... tell them that even though they are here to do business, they don't need to be registered as merchants..."

In today's Great Qin, merchants are at the lowest level, and the people are extremely repulsive to doing business.

Wang Jian waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I know!"

"Okay, old general, please hurry up. I'll take my leave first!"

"Prince-in-law please!"

After a conversation, the candidates were agreed upon, and Liu Bai went to the shop with a happy face.

When he thought about it, the people were probably robbing all the snow salt in the shop now.

Thinking of this, I suddenly slapped my forehead, feeling that I had forgotten something, so I turned around and came back.

"Old general, please lend me two people!"

As soon as the words came out, Wang Jian was instantly alert.

Good guy, are you waiting for me here?

"who?"

"Just borrow a few soldiers. My salt shop opened today. If there are too many people, it will be difficult to manage. I will borrow a few people to maintain order."

Wang Jian sighed, he could still make the decision over a few people.

Wang Li, who was called back with Cao Shen, followed Liu Bai with four soldiers.

When I returned to the shop, I found that no one came to buy salt except myself.

"what's the situation?"

Xiao He and others looked up at him and continued to do what they were doing.

Sima Chang sniffed and asked.

"Consort, could you please tell me what the 'Royal Salt Company' written on your plaque means?"

Liu Bai glanced at him inexplicably.

"That's the name of our salt shop!"

"My consort, I would like to ask you to make a disrespectful statement. Before you became my consort, would you ever step into a store with the word 'royal' on it?"

"this……"

Liu Bai was dumbfounded for a moment.

Isn’t it stupid to have the right to not use it?

Does it have to be an inconspicuous name so that a group of people can make trouble for it?

And he is building the credibility of the royal family...

"Lord Sima, don't you look at price and quality when buying something?"

This time it was Sima Chang's turn to be stunned.

What the consort said seems to make sense.

To be honest, he thought the snow salt was sold cheaply for three copper coins and one tael.

But people are too scared to come in, so how can they know your price and quality?

Inexplicably, a few smart people fell into a strange circle.

Finally, Liu Bai came up with a solution.

"Cao Shen, take a small bucket of our snow salt and put it outside the door, and then write a sign, three copper coins per tael of snow salt..."

"If someone comes forward, let him taste it for free. In this way, people will see the price and taste the quality, and they will naturally buy it. How about it?

Xiao He lowered his head and thought for a while and said.

"My consort, this method should be feasible!"

Cao Shen received the order and took action immediately.

Not long after, a small bucket was placed in front of the Royal Salt Store, filled with white salt.

There was also a notice posted next to it, introducing the newly developed snow salt, which only cost three copper plates and one tael.

For a moment, just as Liu Bai said, the people gathered around him one after another.

"This snow salt is the salt we eat on daily basis? It only costs three copper coins per tael?"

"It's sold so cheaply, isn't it a lie?"

"Probably not. The plaque says 'Royal Salt Shop', which means it is owned by the royal family..."

"What? Royal? Back away quickly, don't hit the noble!"

"Hey, we just want to buy some salt. Since it's so cheap, why don't you buy it and try it?"

"Are you stupid? Have you ever seen any salt in the world sold so cheaply? Expensive ones may not necessarily be good, but cheap ones must have problems!"

…

Seeing that they were gathering around and just whispering but not coming forward, Cao Shen was a little anxious.

"Everyone, this is your Majesty's newly developed snow salt. Our boss has said that if you have any doubts, you can come forward and taste it for free. After you taste it, you can buy it. How about it?"

After listening to his words, the voices of discussion in the crowd became much quieter, and the people seemed to be a little moved.
