Chapter 169 The shopkeeper of Xishi appears, a strong threat! Fusu's confidant was disdainful, so what if he didn't close the door?
Ye Liu looked at this eager young man with a trace of disdain on his face:
"As the shopkeeper of a salt shop, I know a lot about refining salt."
"The salt sold by those salt shops in the West Market is very poor both in terms of refining method and taste."
"Even though it is such low-quality salt, the salt shops in the West Market still sell it to the people at such a high price and make high profits."
"This young man, who is disrupting the market?"
"Even if the price of salt in the salt shops in the West Market is reduced by half, they will still make a lot of money."
"You, a young man, are making unreasonable troubles here. I know that you were sent by the Salt Shop in Xishi."
"If you want to make trouble here without reason, you are not qualified."
Ye Liu looked at the young man and spoke sharply without giving him any face.
When the young man heard Ye Liu identify him, there was a trace of panic on his face.
The pedestrians around heard a trace of anger on their faces when they heard Ye Liu's words.
No wonder this young man targeted the shopkeeper everywhere. It turned out to be a clerk sent from the West Market.
These people used to buy salt at high prices in the West Market, and they were also dissatisfied with the price.
But for the sake of salt in the dish, I had to swallow my anger.
Now with the cheap and delicious salt from Bei City, they no longer have to look at the faces of those salt shops in West City.
"It turns out that this young man was sent from the West City. He has the same kind of shopkeeper as the shopkeeper."
"This young man clearly doesn't want to let this salt shop in Bei City continue to open. He is just afraid that their West City salt shop will have no business."
"Those abominable black-hearted shopkeepers in West Market actually used such despicable methods for their own business."
Pedestrians around looked at the young man and started to criticize him.
The young man would be closer to Longfeng, if there weren't people from the government here.
At this time, it is very likely that he will be beaten by other pedestrians.
"snort!"
"Quick words and quick turns are really powerful!"
The pedestrian who was pointing at the young man suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.
Everyone looked back and saw several middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes walking over.
Seeing these people, some pedestrians walked aside for a distance.
These people in gorgeous clothes are the shopkeepers of some of the largest salt shops in the West City.
These shopkeepers relied on the business of the salt shop and had support from people behind them.
He has a certain reputation in Xianyang City, and the people do not dare to provoke these shopkeepers easily.
Ye Liu saw several West Market shopkeepers walking over, with a hint of ridicule on their faces.
It's no coincidence that these shopkeepers appear now. They have been watching this place in Bei City for a long time.
When they saw that the officials had nothing to do with his salt shop, several shopkeepers showed up.
Long Feng frowned slightly when he saw several shopkeepers from West Market coming over. He didn't have a good impression of these arrogant and domineering shopkeepers from West Market.
If he were not afraid of his Shangguan and the people behind these shopkeepers, he would not pay attention to these shopkeepers.
The young man who had been criticized by everyone saw his eyes lit up when he saw the shopkeepers in the West Market.
He quickly ran to the middle-aged fat man who was walking at the front and said, "Shopkeeper, the shopkeeper of this shop is clever and fickle."
"The villain can't defeat him."
After the guy finished speaking, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"You can't do this well, what's the use of you, get out of here!"
The middle-aged fat man looked at his man and scolded him.
My assistant was speechless by this shopkeeper. Naturally, he, as a shopkeeper, felt embarrassed.
The middle-aged fat man took several other shopkeepers from the West Market and stopped not far from Yeliu.
"You are the shopkeeper of this salt shop, and you have broken the rules of selling salt in Xianyang City."
"Give you a chance. Now that the salt shop is closed, I will spare you."
The middle-aged fat man looked at Ye Liu and said calmly.
When he said these words, he didn't care about the passers-by at all. As long as this salt shop is closed, others can only go to the West Market to buy salt.
As for why he dared to say these words so arrogantly in public, he had already told the people behind him about this two days ago.
The person behind the scenes told him that the salt shop in Bei City must be closed no matter what.
No matter how much it costs, it is worth it. The shopkeeper was not surprised at all when he heard the order from the person behind him.
The profits from selling salt are very high, and this salt shop in Bei City opened for business on one day.
The salt shops in West Market have no business, which is a disaster for them.
The middle-aged fat man told the shopkeepers of several other large salt shops in the West City about this matter.
Several other salt shop owners also told him that the person behind the scenes also issued an order to close the salt shop in Bei City.
Since the people behind everyone have given the same order, they will act together.
First, they found an official from the government who was related to them and asked him to send someone to seal the store first.
Find out who is behind this store. If there is no one behind it, seal it down immediately.
What the shopkeepers didn't expect was that the shopkeeper of this salt shop in Bei City was so eloquent.
Not only did it make it impossible for the government officials to seize the store, but it also made the waiters they sent speechless.
In this case, they could only come in person, and they had just observed it.
Several people thought that there should be no one behind this store, and even if there were people who did, they wouldn't be too powerful.
Otherwise, he would not have such a gentle attitude when talking to people in the government.
In this case, they went directly to close the salt shop.
Wait until it closes, and then use various means to snatch away the method of refining salt.
The middle-aged fat man and several other shopkeepers were very impressed by the way the shopkeeper in Beishi made salt.
If they can get this method of refining salt, they can make more profits.
When Ye Liu heard the straightforward words of the shopkeeper from Xishi, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:
"My shopkeeper's business is doing well, why should I close my shop?"
"As for your threat, I don't take it seriously."
"This is Xianyang City. Could it be that the shopkeepers still want to use force?"
Ye Liu looked at the middle-aged fat man and several other shopkeepers with a mocking tone.
Hearing Ye Liu's sarcastic tone, several West Market shopkeepers had anger on their faces.
It's been a long time since a shopkeeper dared to talk to them like this.
"Humph!"
"The salt shops in the West City pay a lot of taxes every year."
"We, the shopkeepers, have also made great contributions to Da Qin."
"This is Xianyang City, how could we use force?"
"But you can report it to the official. This shopkeeper will give you a chance. If you don't cherish it, don't blame me for being cruel."
"My lord, you must have not forgotten what your superior officer told you!"
The middle-aged fat man looked at Long Feng and said with a hint of confidence on his face.
The pedestrians around heard the middle-aged fat man's words and looked surprised on their faces.
I didn't expect these shopkeepers to use such methods.
They have also heard that these shopkeepers in the West Market have an unclear relationship with people from the government.
Today, after they heard it with their own ears, they knew that the rumor was true.
Long Feng had a gloomy look on his face when he heard the middle-aged fat man's threatening reminder.
This time he came to see the real situation, but he didn't want to complete what the superior officer told him.
But with the words of the shopkeeper of Xishi, he could only complete what Shangguan told him.
Otherwise, his official position will not be guaranteed after he returns.
Long Feng gritted his teeth and looked up at Ye Liu, with a hint of paleness on his face: "The condition of the salt sold in this salt shop is unknown."
"I now order the shopkeeper to close the shop and accept the government's review."
