Why did the price of salt suddenly rise like this?

Aunt Chen really knows this question!

She goes out to buy groceries every day and has already become familiar with the neighbors.

In addition, her husband has a great reputation, so no matter where he goes, everyone is willing to chat with her.

So there is really nothing that she doesn’t know about in the city!

Aunt Chen can confidently say that as long as she goes to the vegetable market for a walk alone the next day to understand everything that happens in the city, she can basically understand it clearly!

Aunt Chen said mysteriously: "I have really heard of this."

"The owner of the house next door to ours is a foreigner."

"The aunt in charge of purchasing in his family told me that day that the salt that was originally going to our city was shipped to other places!"

"Hey, I don't know what these salt dealers are thinking. We don't even have to transport it here to sell it here. We have to transport it all the way to sell it!"

Liu Ruyu nodded and agreed: "It's really weird..."

Aunt Chen added: "Isn't that right? I also heard that these salts are most likely shipped to the capital!"

Liu Ruyu was surprised and said, "You know all this?"

Aunt Chen said proudly: "Isn't that right?"

"This is what I learned from chatting with the aunt who is in charge of shopping at Fu Zun's family when I went to the East Market to buy groceries."

"Also, I know who has salt in their hands!"

"At that time, if the salt at our house runs out, I can bring some money and exchange it for some purchases from other people's houses."

After Aunt Chen finished speaking, she sighed: "But my husband is very foresighted. He brought a lot of salt from his hometown, so our family doesn't have to worry about salt."

"But this is not a solution after all. If the price does not come down in a year or two, then won't we all be without salt?"

Liu Ruyu disagreed and said, "How is this possible?"

"Although your city is located in a remote place, the imperial court will not leave you alone."

"As soon as the Censor arrives, the remaining salt from the salt field will no longer be transported outside."

"We will then find out where all the salt merchants' goods go, and those salt merchants who dare to cross the line will be punished one by one!"

Liu Ruyu said with indignation. Aunt Chen next to her put down the food in her hands, clapped her hands and said, "Okay!"

"If the imperial censor is really as good as Mr. Liu said, then we don't have to be afraid of those black-hearted salt merchants!"

Liu Ruyu patted his chest and said, "That's natural."

"The censor selected by the Holy Emperor himself will naturally not disappoint the people."

"Hey, by the way, who in your city still has salt..."

Aunt Chen is talkative, and Liu Ruyu is even more talkative.

It can be said that the two of them hit it off immediately, and they chatted together in secret.

Until Zhao Ce walked up to him, neither of them reacted.

Zhao Ce coughed lightly, and Liu Ruyu raised his head: "Brother Lin."

Aunt Chen also shouted: "Master."

Then he took the dishes he chose and walked into the kitchen.

Liu Ruyu stood up from the side, patted his butt, looked at Zhao Ce's sweating profusely and said, "Brother Lin is sweating so much this early in the morning?"

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "I have been exercising for a while and I am just about to wash my face."

Liu Ruyu nodded, looked at Zhao Ce passing over him, and suddenly said: "By the way, I want to write a letter. I wonder if Brother Lin can borrow the study?"

There were no secrets in Zhao Ce's study, so he directly pointed it out to him: "You can go to the second room over there."

Liu Ruyu wanted to pull Zhao Ce to say a few more words, but Zhao Ce had already turned around and left.

He smacked his lips and muttered: "It turns out that my brother is so strong because he gets up early every day to exercise."

"But everyone should perform their duties. As the censor of the imperial court, the most important thing for me is the task assigned by the Holy One."

Liu Ruyu muttered and walked towards Zhao Ce's study, and saw Su Caier scrubbing something carefully in the main room.

Liu Ruyu arrived at Zhao Ce's study and opened the door directly.

The inside was very clean and tidy, and he walked straight to the desk without looking too much.

After adding water to the inkstone, slowly start grinding the ink.

While grinding, I thought of Zhao Ce's brave performance at the city gate that day, and couldn't help but marvel.

"Xiao Sanyuan is also a warrior. It really opened my eyes."

"I have to write a letter and tell my father about this interesting story."

After polishing the ink, Liu Ruyu picked up the white paper beside him and spread it flat on the table.

Next to the white paper, there is an uncovered book.

There are a few big characters written on it like dragons and phoenixes.

Liu Ruyu picked it up curiously: "What kind of book is this? It's so simple."

Then take a closer look at the title of the book: "Basic Mathematics"..."

"Mathematics? Could it be an arithmetic book?"

Liu Ruyu knew that it was wrong to browse other people's books casually like this. He only glanced at it briefly and put down the book in his hand.

I habitually rolled up my sleeves and started writing a letter.

After Zhao Ce washed his face, he changed into clean clothes and then walked into the study.

Liu Ruyu had already written all his letters and was about to find something to put them away.

"Brother Lin came just in time. Can you please ask the government office to send these two letters from me?"

"I know it's a little difficult in these extraordinary times, but please try your best to help."

Zhao Ce couldn't guarantee whether he could send it out, so he could only say: "I can only try my best."

Liu Ruyu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."

Zhao Ce found two envelopes for him and took out the paint.

After all the letters were finished, Liu Ruyu put aside the book beside him and asked curiously: "Brother Lin, is this book a rubbing of some unique copy?"

"Can you lend me a copy?"

Zhao Ce looked in the direction of his finger and saw the dystocia mathematics book that he had taken out while he was at home to prepare for the final review.

"Oh, this is not a rare thing. If Mr. Liu likes it, just take it and look through it."

Liu Ruyu received permission and curiously picked it up and turned it over.

As he thought, this was indeed an arithmetic book.

Just the beginning: "One one makes one, one two makes two..."

"Huh? Jiujiu Ge? Why is this backwards?"

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "I wrote this at random in my spare time while studying. It is all for the convenience of learning."

Liu Ruyu quickly flipped back a few pages: "Addition is an example, multiplication is an example..."

After flipping through the entire book, Liu Ruyu hissed.

"You wrote this yourself? How can arithmetic be written so easily and understandably?"

Zhao Ce nodded and said: "This book is probably finished. I am just looking for someone to proofread it and see if there is a bookstore that will accept it for printing."

"But I don't think anyone would be willing to help me proofread this kind of arithmetic book."

In fact, proofreading is to find an awesome person to put his or her name on the book, so that when bookstores see that an awesome person has put their name on your book, they will gladly accept it and help you print and publish it.

Liu Ruyu grabbed Zhao Ce's hand excitedly and asked him hurriedly: "Who were you originally going to find for review?"

Zhao Ce thought for a while and said, "Guo Jiaoyu from Fucheng has taught me a lot, and I'm going to ask him for help."

"Jiaoyu..."

After hearing this, Liu Ruyu murmured: "Juren..."

He shook his head and said: "No, my status is too low..."

After pacing for a few times, Liu Ruyu slapped the table.

There was a loud noise, and he said "Ouch" and blew on his hand, which was numb from the shock.
