Chapter 98 Ye Chi’s vicious plan, every step is planned carefully!
The situation in Xianyang city soon became turbulent!
Snowflake salt workshops sprang up like mushrooms after a rain in response to the imperial court's order, and the price plummeted, almost below that of well salt, and even half of the price.

The people in the city were dumbfounded, and immediately rushed from the well salt tide to the snowflake salt shore, scrambling to buy it. The scene was spectacular!
"Oh, why is this snowflake salt so cheap nowadays?" An old man leaned on a cane, his eyes full of disbelief.

A young man beside him said with a smile: "Old man, don't you understand this? The court has ordered that this snowflake salt is now twice as cheap as well salt! This good thing is rare in a thousand years!"

The old man was so excited that he trembled all over when he heard this: "Oh my God, I never thought that such a good thing would happen in my life! Quick, help me buy snowflake salt, Naigong hasn't eaten such delicious salt for a long time!"

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter!
However, even though they were laughing, their hands did not slow down at all.

They were seen flocking to the snowflake salt workshop and queuing up in a long queue.

Some people took out their family savings just to take advantage of this opportunity to buy more good salt!

Some people cried with joy, lamenting that the low price of salt was really great news! !
However, those clans that were once high and mighty were now on pins and needles.

They never imagined that the price of snowflake salt would drop to such a low level.

However, the market is like a battlefield, and the situation is beyond our control.

Many well salt workshops could only watch their salt being discarded by the people.

……

At the same time, in a deep garden of a mansion in Xianyang City, the atmosphere was tense and murderous.

In the hall, the clan elders gathered together, everyone's faces were livid, and their anger was evident in their words! !

An elder of the clan suddenly slammed the table and stood up, his face red and his eyes bloodshot. He pointed outside the door and cursed: "How dare Ye Chi, this shameless villain, be so rude? How dare he reduce the price of such precious snowflake salt to such a low level? Is he bullying our clan?!"

When everyone heard this, they were all filled with anger and started talking about it.

Someone shouted angrily: "This Ye Chi is clearly coming for us! He wants to use the price war to make the people give up buying well salt and rush to buy snowflake salt instead. He wants our goods to rot in his hands. What a vicious plan!!"

Someone else gnashed his teeth and said, "This Ye Chi is so despicable! He knew that our well salt cost was high, but he deliberately lowered the price of snowflake salt to such a low level. This is clearly an attempt to force us into a dead end!"

In the hall, all kinds of scolding and angry voices came one after another, like thunder exploding in the air.

At this time, someone asked anxiously: "Elder, now the people are scrambling to buy snowflake salt. If this continues, we won't be able to sell any of our well salt! What should we do?!"

The clan elder took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "If he lowers the price, I don't believe he will still make a profit! This snowflake salt is refined to be so white and pure, the cost must be higher than ours!"

"Come on! Let's compete with him and see who can hold on longer!"

He turned around suddenly and shouted to the clansmen behind him: "Pass the order! Ask all the major workshops to reduce the price of our well salt by half! I want the people in Xianyang City to know that my clan's well salt is their best choice!"

Everyone was cheered up upon hearing the words and left one after another.

The battle over salt has entered a white-hot stage, with both sides trying their best to overwhelm the other.

However, it is still unknown who will win in the end!

Just one day later, there was another uproar in Xianyang city.

The clans were not willing to be outdone, and they slashed the price of well salt again. The price was so low that it swept across the city like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, which was jaw-dropping!
At this moment, the price of well salt has dropped to even cheaper than hemp shoes, which is as unbelievable as an Arabian Nights!
The clans sent people to loudly announce in front of the major workshops: "The price of well salt has dropped significantly! It's even cheaper than hemp shoes! Come and buy it now!"

The sound was so loud that it spread all over the country. Upon hearing the news, the common people flocked to the salt workshop.

Some of them brought their elderly and children, some carried salt on their shoulders or in their hands, all scrambled to buy the well salt at an unprecedented low price!
For a moment, the well salt workshop was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and it was extremely lively!

However, just as the crowd was bustling, a horseman suddenly galloped over, holding a bamboo slip and shouting loudly: "The price of snowflake salt has dropped again! It is half the price of well salt!"

This news exploded among the crowd like a bolt from the blue! !

The people were completely stunned.

They looked at each other, at a loss.

They were just feeling smug about buying low-priced well salt, but now they feel as disheartened as if they had fallen into an icy cave!
"How is this possible?" someone said in a trembling voice, "The price of snowflake salt has dropped again?!"

"Oh my God! We just bought well salt, and now the price of snowflake salt has dropped again! What should we do?" Someone was extremely anxious.

As a result, a large number of people were attracted by the price war between the two salt workshops. One moment they ran to the door of the well salt workshop and lined up to buy well salt. The next moment, they ran back to the snowflake salt workshop and scrambled to buy snowflake salt!

They were running around the city like headless flies!

The entire city of Xianyang was in chaos because of the dispute over the price of salt! !

At this moment, the city has become a huge bustling city!

There was noise and dust everywhere!
The people ran back and forth between the two salt workshops!
Their faces were filled with anxiety, confusion and helplessness.

……

Inside the clan mansion, the atmosphere was as heavy as lead, so oppressive that it made one feel breathless.

The clan elder sat in the hall, his face livid and his eyes blazing with anger, as if he wanted to burn everything to ashes.

"Ahhhhh, Ye Chi, I will kill you! I will kill you!" He roared angrily, and his voice echoed in the mansion, shocking everyone.

The clan members around were also filled with righteous indignation, and they all echoed the elder's roar.

"Ye Chi! We will never forgive you!" Someone cursed with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to pour out all the anger in his heart.

However, in this angry atmosphere, some clan members were also confused and shocked.

They looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubts and confusion.

"Elder, doesn't their snowflake salt have any cost?" Someone couldn't help but ask, "If the price drops like this, how can Ye Chi, a commoner, get so much money to pay?"

The clan elder narrowed his eyes, and a sinister look flashed in them.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "It must be the court that is backing him up! Behind Ye Chi is His Majesty!!"

As soon as these words came out, many clan members took a deep breath.

The anger in their hearts was instantly ignited, as if it was going to burn the entire mansion to ashes.
