Chapter 65 - A Single Thought from the People (2/2)

Cui Heng had brought a total of 20 carts of food and five carts of salt

This food was naturally not enough to sell to these thousands of commoners, so it was first come, first served

Then, he promised that there would be istrate’s office

They would also do their best to lower the prices of food, salt, and other commodities

In this way, the commoners would naturally disperse

Even if there was sos, it would not have much effect in front of real food and salt

“Have you recorded all the infor asked Hui shi+

“Sir, I’ve noted it down” Hui shi+ nodded and said angrily, “A total of thirteen grain merchants and six salt merchants have all increased the price by seven tihtly

“Sir, although you sold them food at half the price, there are still people who feel that this is a way to bribe people,” Hui shi+ said worriedly “They still feel that you’re in cahoots with thosewaved his hand and did not say anything else He returned to the carriage “Let’s enter the city!”

…

After dealing with the incident at the city gate, Cui Heng successfully becaovernor of Lu County

Sun Panshi+ and the others aiting for this new county governor to make a move

But three days had passed

There was no news from the County Governor’s Mansion

He only knew that Cui Heng was arranging for the people around him to hold various positions

There didn’t seeht

Moreover, food and salt had been continuously transported over from Juhe County over the past three days

It was still sold to the people at half the price!

It was as if the food and salt there were endless

This ry that they almost cursed They could not even use the commoners to cause trouble at the County Governor’sin his heart, hoping that he would run out of food and salt soon

More than ten days later, there was still an endless supply of food and salt

It did not look like it was going to be cut off

There were even songs praising the new county governor in Lu County

Sun Panshi+ and the others could still endure it, but the rain merchants and salt er

There was no income for more than half a month Any businessan to buy food from the people at twice the price and sold it at three tiinal price

Grain and salt were indeed iral part of the human heart

It was inevitable that some people could not help but sell off some of their food and salt

This caused the overall price of food and salt to reh despite the constant existence of half-price food and salt

The citizens quickly began to spontaneously investigate the families who sold food and salt to the rain merchants and salt merchants to quickly increase the purchase price to three times

As a result, even more people secretly sold their food and salt

The price quickly increased to five times

It was almost near the previous seven times price

At this moment, the food and salt shi+pments froistrate’s office also issued a notice There was really no more food and salt to be transported

The price of food and salt instantly soared to 15 tiinal price!

Sun Panshi+ and the others cheered

The merchants held a banquet to celebrate

The citizens were furious, but there was nothing they could do

The entire Lu County City had al to explode at the slightest trigger

Finally, a large number of citizens could not take it anyistrate’s office to coovernor could punish these illegalEveryone did it spontaneously, and they only went to ask the governor for help

Instead of questioning hiovernor fighting against all the grain merchants and salt merchants in the city had been established in the hearts of the people

No one would believe that Cui Heng was in cahoots with those istrate’s office

Cui Heng held a list and said to Hui shi+, as on standby, “13 grain merchants, six salt merchants, nine ated all of these, right?”

“Yes, My Lord Everything has been investigated,” Hui shi+ said respectfully

“What’s the attitude of the people?” Cui Heng asked again

“My Lord’s plan is brilliant The entire city’s citizens sincerely ad’s actions to the extreather the hearts of the people

If he had raided these merchants’ houses when he first entered the city, he would definitely not have such a united people behind hiht even have been labeled as anodded and soal

Hence, he immediately slapped the name list on the table and said in a low voice, “Hui shi+, listen up! All the merchants above, search their houses and choose a day for a public trial! If anyone stops you, kill therown fat

It was tihter!
