174. Speeches
At noon, Four Seasons County, North City. At this moment, four long queues formed on the street outside the palace, and many elders were waiting for Paimi.
"Where's the deed?" In front of a long line, a soldier asked.
"I don't have a deed, only a lease, give!"
"Well, a family of seven can receive seven catties of rice, go to the side to get rice!" The soldier glanced at the lease, looked at the name on the table, and said.
"Hey, okay, good, there really is a rice pie, sir, is there a pie every day? When will it be dispatched? ”
"It's not every day, it's only during locust plagues. If the locust plague is controlled tomorrow, it will be gone, understand? The soldier said.
"Ah, yes, yes, I want to never live"
The soldier glanced at the person in front of him in disgust and said, "Okay, go and get rice, others are waiting!" ”
At noon, a large number of ordinary people came to the palace, waiting to receive rice, and the long queue became longer and longer.
"Why can't I get rice, others can, if you don't give me rice, I won't leave."
In the four long queues, in front of the queue for receiving rice in Xishi, a strong man sat in front of the table for receiving rice and shouted.
"You only signed the lease today, and we received an order to only send rice to the people who have lived in Four Seasons County for more than three years, and we will not recognize anything else. If you have a previous rental, bring it and get it again. ”
"Why not, isn't this lease a lease? The landlord who rented the house to me said that he could get rice, but no, if you don't give rice, I won't leave! The strong man said angrily.
At this moment, Bai Rongquan walked out of the palace and shouted loudly: "What is the noise, what's the matter, the queue in the West Market is so long, why don't you hurry up and send rice?" ”
The soldier sent by the "general" to Bai Rongquan and muttered a few words in his ear.
Bai Rongquan glanced at the strong man on the ground, looked at the long dragon in Xishi and said, "Folks, it's not that we don't send rice to this person, do you know where these rice came from?" ”
"Let me tell you, these rice were obtained for you by the emperor's concubine today, and I believe that everyone is not a person who can eat rice every day and knows how expensive rice is. Do you know what our Four Seasons County has paid for this? ”
"Maybe you can't read or write on the notice, but I'm here to tell you that these rice were exchanged for the land of Four Seasons County. Then you say, 'To whom is it fair to give this rice?' ”
As soon as the painting fell, a unanimous voice came from the long dragon: "Of course, we are from Four Seasons County, why do outsiders receive these rice." ”
"That's it, but we are not a single eater in Four Seasons County, so this rule is issued, and only residents who have lived for more than three years can receive rice, right? If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I don't know how many people came to our Four Seasons County for rice. ”
"No problem, no problem, support, support"
Bai Rongquan looked at the support of most of the people and continued: "Be quiet, do you know who is the person who is doing this business with the palace? I tell you, he was a great man and a profiteer. ”
"The reason why he suffered so much and made this deal with the royal mansion, endless rice pies, is because he wants to buy all the houses in the West Market and build all the new ones."
There was a fryer sound from the crowd, and he asked, "Then don't we have a place to live in Xishi?" ”
"Quiet, listen to me, that's why I said this man is a profiteer. But why is he a good man, because most of the houses he built were built for you, and of course, they were not built for you. ”
"Rather, if you meet the conditions, you only need to give one or two pieces of silver every month, and pay it for ten years, then the house will always belong to you, which is the same as paying rent every month, you say, is this person a good person? As long as you pay rent every month, the house will be yours for ten years. ”
The crowd shouted again: "Ah, really? Are you sure? If so, really a good person."
Bai Rongquan saw that the crowd listened to it, and continued: "Moreover, the house he built is not an ordinary house, it is still a very safe house, it is not built of wood and bamboo, if you want to know what the house is like, you can go to a fruit shop selling grapes in Nanshi to have a look, starting tomorrow, he will open the door widely, let you see what kind of house." ”
"Is that the fruit shop that sells very expensive fruits?" A voice was heard from the crowd.
Bai Rongquan heard the voice and said with a smile: "That's right, it's that fruit shop, people who don't know, just ask around." You see that this man is so good, others must not suffer, if he can receive rice with the deed and rent, then he will lose a lot. Everyone knows how many vacant houses there are in the West Market. ”
Therefore, for the sake of fairness and justice, the people who sent rice discussed this rule with the prince, that is, these landlords must be exempted from renting out a large number of houses because of the rule that they can receive rice by virtue of the deed and rent. If so, it will be difficult for those who send rice to buy houses. ”
"If the house is expensive, he can only raise the price, so is he a good person? For the sake of you people, send rice and find a way. Do you think it's good or not? ”
After listening to Bai Rongquan's explanation, everyone who was waiting for the rice shouted loudly: "Good people, really good people"
"Therefore, now the prince declares in the capacity of a county order, because this person is the country and the people, all the owners of the West Market are not allowed to raise the house price, and if there is a offender, he will be sentenced to the crime of betraying the country and punished by the nine clans."
Bai Rongquan saw that the time was ripe and announced loudly.
After speaking, he glanced down at the strong man on the ground, and shouted: "For these outsiders, we in Four Seasons County can only try our best to help, after all the residents of Four Seasons County have received rice, how many meters are left that day, and how many meters are sent." ”
After Bai Rongquan finished speaking, he went back to the palace.
In the palace, Ren Xiaoyao and Prince Jing talked and laughed, and even Ye Linfeng, who had a bad impression of Ren Xiaoyao at the beginning, cast an appreciative look.
"Ren Gongzi is really smart, if you hadn't notified this king in time, I'm afraid that Four Seasons County would have been attacked by your own people." Prince Jing looked at Ren Xiaoyao and smiled.
"Hehe, the prince has won the award, Xiaoyao is not a righteous person, he is just a businessman, and he is just reminded by the way to find reasonable benefits." Let it be embarrassed.
"Hahaha, a good reasonable interest, use the locust plague to exchange land with the palace, send rice to gain fame, use the mouth of the people, the authority of the palace, and get all the courtyards in the west city of Four Seasons County at the smallest price.
Ye Linfeng smiled when he heard Ren Xiaoyao's modest words.
Ren Xiaoyao heard the two of them keep praising him, and said embarrassedly:
"It's too serious, Xiaoyao is just a competent businessman, as a businessman, how to make reasonable profits, this is just an introductory knowledge."
He didn't think about it so long-term at first, just because he didn't want to suffer because of the locust plague.
"Oh, Ren Gongzi seems to have a deep understanding of businessmen, I don't know if the old man can ask for advice?" Ye Linfeng teased.
As soon as Ren Xiaoyao wanted to speak, he saw Bai Rongquan running back sweating profusely and asked, "General Bai, is the matter done?" ”
"It's done, you stinky boy, you know I'm stupid and want me to say such a lot of things, you almost scared me half to death." Bai Rongquan said breathlessly.
"Hahaha" When the three people in the room heard Bai Rongquan's words, they all laughed in unison.
"So what's going on? Whether the masses can be controlled. Compared to the other two, Prince Jing asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, this stinky boy taught me, almost all the civilians accepted it."
"That's good, if it weren't for Xiaoyao reminding me, I'm afraid I'd be in trouble this time." Prince Jing said as he looked at the scenery outside the house
"Lord Wang, now is only the first step, there is still a long way to go, there is no need to just be in mind. Tomorrow, I will also ask the prince to send more troops to garrison my house, otherwise, I am afraid that the poor will not be able to stop those poor people. Before leaving, Ren Xiaoyao reminded.
"Well, indeed. Ren Gongzi rest assured, I will ask Rong Quan to bring 500 elite soldiers tomorrow, you can rest assured! Prince Jing smiled back.
Leaving the palace, Ren Xiaoyao wore shabby linen clothes and hemp pants and walked on the road alone.
Before leaving, he had already asked Ye Guangyuan to start buying a house.
Originally, he didn't want to be so public, after all, he was still fighting alone in the other world. But when he heard the contents of the notice, he almost fainted.
With the deed and rent, he can get rice, such a big loophole, almost put him in. If this is done, then he will lose a lot of money in exchange for rice.
Originally, it was an empty glove white wolf, and it was exchanged for 150 acres of land "for free". However, the defendant caused a fire in the backyard, and the original plan to buy a house at a low price due to the locust plague will become a sky-high price.
So in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, he can only do this, tell the prince of the stakes of the notice, and edit the notice with his relatives.
And he can only passively publicize the house, while capturing the hearts of the original residents of Four Seasons County, while promoting the house.
Indirectly showed the influence of the plaintiff and used the people's will to control the price gouging of the homeowner.
But what he didn't expect was that Prince Jing helped him so much, using national law and morality to raise his hand. It is expressly stated that the owner of the house cannot increase the price. I'm afraid this is in conflict with the laws of the household department, and Ren Xiaoyao is very grateful for it
In the palace, after Ren Xiaoyao left, Prince Jing and Ye Linfeng talked about Ren Xiaoyao.
"Tiancheng, now you know what it means that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, right? This kid is not simple, do you find out if he has the details? ”
Ye Linfeng asked Prince Jing.
"I've checked it all, he is a villager in a village more than 30 miles outside the city, his father and mother are dead, there are still grandparents in the family, the second uncle's family, the third uncle's family, counting his brothers and sisters, there are twelve people in one household."
Prince Jing boasted that he had already thoroughly investigated Ren Yao's bottom line.
"Well, it's good that I'm a citizen of the sunset, if it's a spy from another country, I'm afraid I'll have to deal with it quickly." Ye Linfeng nodded and said.
After a while, he said: "If Guangyuan has his cleverness, I can leave with peace of mind." ”
When Prince Jing heard this, he frowned, and said:
However, this person seems to have a relationship with someone in the martial arts. From his information, he originally didn't know martial arts, but he played with a good flying knife, and he also said that he had a master, and there was also a sect near the mountain range of the village where he was located. ”
"Huh? Don't worry, the reason why those idle clouds and wild crane hermits built a mountain in the deep mountains is also dedicated to studying martial arts, and they will not oppose the court. Besides, you should know why the royal family has been able to rule for so long. Ye Linfeng analyzed.
Prince Jing also nodded his head when he heard this, but he didn't speak
When Ren Xiaoyao returned home, the door was closed so that the news would not spread too quickly and someone would come to watch. Even Ren Shiting, who sold fruits, was called home by him and closed the fruit shop.
"Brother, why don't you let me sell fruit?"
After the fruit shop was closed by Ren Xiaoyao, Ren Shiting kept chasing Ren Xiaoyao to ask this question.
Yesterday, because of the panic caused by the locust plague, Ren Shiting earned a lot of silver, in addition to the 100 bunches of grapes that day, other fruits also earned dozens of taels.
"I said, little sister, can't you stop for a while? I'm here for your safety. ”
Ren Xiaoyao really couldn't stand Ren Shiting's entanglement, and said.
"What is the safety consideration, what is the danger of selling fruit, do you regret giving me the money from the fruit store?" Ren Shiting exhaled.
forehead
Ren Xiaoyao was speechless at Ren Shiting's logic, and said: "Why do you think so, mine is not yours, yours is not mine, I really think about your safety." ”
"No, you just regret it, and my silver is mine, it's not yours, and your silver is mine. The fruit shop has more than 100 taels of silver a day, and you just regret it. ”
Ren Shiting pouted and said. I don't believe Ren Xiaoyao's words at all.
Ren Xiaoyao was speechless, so she had to tell Ren Shiting the truth of the matter, she didn't want her to worry, but now she had to tell the truth.
"Huh? Brother, do you have so much silver? Why don't you tell me, I haven't seen any. No, you go to the big fat man and get it back, I want to see it, it's all my silver. ”
After listening to Ren Xiaoyao's words, Ren Shiting did not complain about Ren Xiaoyao's worries, but complained about Ren Xiaoyao.
"No, little sister, aren't you worried about your grandparents? Second uncle, they? What if they don't have anything to eat? Ren Xiaoyao asked curiously.
Ren Shiting's answer made Ren Xiaoyao speechless.
"Isn't it you? You are older than me, these things should be what you are worried about, I am still young, don't worry about these, don't you say that you will go back to Renjia Village when the time comes? ”
Under Ren Xiaoyao's repeated persuasion, Ren Shiting finally stopped mentioning the matter of opening a fruit shop and the matter of silver, and went to play with Bailijie.
But Ren Xiaoyao returned to the room and flashed into the space.
In the space, Ren Xiaoyao looked at a small patch of green leaves and powdered rice, and said to himself:
"What kind of variety is this, it's really strange, it's ripe when it's husked, and you can eat it, and I don't grow this kind of rice."
These pink rice husks, Ren Xiaoyao studied them all night last night and found that these pink rice husks were almost the same except that the husks were different from other rice.
However, this flour shell rice is very magical, as long as the flour shell is removed, after three minutes, it will become hot rice, instead of rice, and it can be eaten directly. Let him study it for one night.
And this variety can't be grown, as if it grows randomly. The rice grown from flour husk rice is just ordinary rice, which only grows on the mother plant, that is, the rice that grows it.
550 acres of rice fields, Ren Xiaoyao only harvested 550 such rice plants, rice is not like other rice grass, after growing rice, but continue to grow, this is the result of he wasted a small half bowl of spring water last night.
He searched all the knowledge left in the space, but he couldn't find what kind of rice it was. It's a pity that it's not recorded in the knowledge.
However, he is ready to keep these rice harvests, and wait until there must be a certain amount to see if he can sell them for a good name.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't know how many martial arts people would be chased after him by this idea in the future. Of course, that's another story.
Coming back to his senses, Ren Xiaoyao sent a message to the space, asking him to use the most ordinary spring water and dilute it to grow rice.
Now 500 acres of rice harvest, it takes ten days to harvest, in order to avoid the phenomenon of supply interruption, the use of endless spring water, Ren Xiaoyao is not distressed at all.
Although ordinary spring water only has the effect of exempting the growth period for 5 years, which is much worse than the effect of spring water essence for 15 years, it is more than enough for rice grass grown in one year.
If he was allowed to use the essence of spring water on this rice harvest, he would be reluctant.
In a moment when Ren was distracted, the space harvested 40,000 catties of rice, and the rice needed tomorrow was ready.
Glancing at sacks of rice on the ground, Ren Xiaoyao received the ring with a wave of his right hand and left the space. However, the production of rice has not stopped.
