Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 84 Free Tasting
Wang Jian knew that although Liu Bai liked to cheat him on weekdays, he was still very reassuring when he spoke and acted. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't value him so much, would he?

But what could his old buddies, and their families, do?

"My son-in-law, what kind of job did you find for them?"

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

"Uncle Wang, why don't you tell us about their situation first?"

Wang Jian glanced at him, hey, this brat really pushes his feet.

"Boy, your title is inferior!"

Liu Bai thought that he would object to his intimacy, but he didn't expect that he thought he was a bad guy.

"Then I can't call you grandpa, can I? Look at your current appearance, how do you look like grandpa?"

"Screw you!"

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

"Some of their fathers and sons were killed in battle, and now only orphans and widows are left; some of them are not killed in battle, but they are missing arms and legs, and they can't do anything like farming..."

"I only help people who live near the capital, people in other places, although I have the heart, but I can't do it..."

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

To put it bluntly, if the father and son died in battle, only the family members remained.

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 is not much better if you think about it.

And those who did not die in battle also lost their ability to work and could not farm at all.

In today's agrarian age, not being able to farm means not having food.

If the Qin people are like this, the situation of the defeated six countries may be 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 be turned towards Daqin!

But this is all for later, it is important to solve the immediate matter first.

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

Wang Jian stroked his beard and said.

"Of course, the character of my old Qin people can't be said, not to mention that they came out of the army, and they have strict discipline and strict orders..."

Liu Bai listened while bowing his head in thought.

Not only the salt shop has important people, but also the perfume shop, books, tea and other shops behind it all need people.

Now that you're here, it's better to settle everything at once.

I don't know if these military men can do business.

I don't even know if people are willing to do business.

"Old general, in this way, you have a better understanding of their situation, please pick a few households with the worst situation first..."

"Now my salt shop has been opened, about two to three people are needed, it is best to choose those who can read and count, and let them be the shopkeepers.

"There are also tea shops, book shops and the like in the back, and we can arrange a few, as for the others, we can only leave them for later!
"Oh, by the way, find two more women, and Man'er's rouge shop will also need people!"

Wang Jian nodded when he heard the words, it is really not easy for this kid to think of these people!
It's just the meaning of these words, which surprised Wang Jian a little.

For these people, the imperial court did not provide compensation.

He had mentioned it to His Majesty before, but after a long discussion, he still couldn't figure out how to arrange them.

Why does it seem to be an extremely simple matter in this kid's mouth?
"I don't know how the son-in-law 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 stuffed into one factory, or develop environmental protection, and build a few roads to collect tolls... Oh, there are a lot of them anyway, but we have to take our time!"

Wang Jian listened for a long time, trying to keep up with Liu Bai's train of thought, but finally found that it was all in vain.

Is the old man getting old?

I can understand every word of this word, why is it like falling into the fog when I put it together, I can't understand anything?

But it doesn't matter, since the son-in-law has a solution, half of his heart is 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 although they are here to do business, they don't need to be registered as a merchant..."

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

Wang Jian waved his hand.

"Don't worry, the old man knows!"

"That's fine, old general, hurry up, I'll take my leave first!"

"Consort please!"

After talking for a while and deciding on the candidate, Liu Bai went to the shop with a happy face.

When he thought about it, the snow salt in the shop was almost robbed by the people.

Thinking of this, he suddenly slapped his forehead, and felt that he had forgotten something, so he turned around and folded back.

"Old general, borrow two people!"

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

Dude, what's waiting for me here?

"who?"

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

Wang Jian sighed lightly, he can still make decisions on several people.

Wang Li, who called to come back with Cao Can, followed Liu Bai with four soldiers.

As a result, after returning to the shop, I found that, except for my own people, there was no one who came to buy salt.

"what's the situation?"

Xiao He and the others raised their eyes to look at him, then continued to do what they were doing with their heads down.

Sima Chang sniffled and asked.

"My son-in-law, can you tell me what you mean by the 'Royal Salt Company' written on this plaque?"

Liu Bai glanced at him inexplicably.

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

"My son-in-law, I would like to ask you a disrespectful word. Before you became a son-in-law, would you step into a shop with the word 'royal'?"

"This……"

Liu Bai was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

Isn't it stupid to have the right to not use it?
Does it have to be an inconspicuous name, and a group of people come to look for it, to be considered good?
And he is building the credibility of the royal family...

"Master Sima, don't you look at price and quality when buying things?"

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

The son-in-law's words seem to make sense.

To be reasonable, he felt that snow salt worth three copper coins and one tael was cheap.

But people are too scared to come in, how can they know your price and quality?
Inexplicably, a few smart people fell into a strange circle.

In the end, Liu Bai came up with a solution.

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

"If someone comes forward, you can let him taste it for free, so that the people will buy it after seeing the price and taste the quality, how about it?
Xiao He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said.

"My son-in-law, this method should work!"

Cao Shen got the order and acted immediately.

Not long after, a small bucket was placed in front of the Royal Salt Shop, and the bucket was full of white salt.

There is also a notice posted next to it, introducing that this is the latest snow salt, and it only needs three copper coins or two.

All of a sudden, as Liu Bai said, the common people surrounded him one after another.

"This snow salt is the salt we eat on weekdays? It's only three copper coins or two?"

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

"Probably not, the plaque says 'Royal Salt Shop', which means it was opened by the royal family..."

"What? The royal family? Get back quickly, don't bump into the nobleman!"

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

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

……

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

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

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