Yang Jie, about forty years old, tall and long, slightly thin.

The most prominent feature of his face is his nose, which looks like an eagle's hook. makes his whole person look like a fierce feeling of eagle and wolf.

He himself is extremely scheming.

No one knew that he was actually the invisible rich man in Yang County.

Long before the Taiping Dao Uprising, before the Yellow Turban Riot, he actually had a premonition.

In fact, it is difficult to say anywhere else in the world, but in Julu, the activities of Taiping Road are not a secret. In almost every village, there will be Taiping Dao followers spreading the teachings of Taiping Dao, and in a county town, there will definitely be more Taiping Dao followers.

Yang Jie had already noticed the movements of those Taiping Daoists, and even let some family members contact the people of Taiping Dao, pretending to join Taiping Dao, so that he knew the specific situation of the Yellow Turban Riot.

This is really not surprising, even if he doesn't send people to contact Taiping Dao, the people of Taiping Dao will contact those people in the rich family.

For example, Liu Xian's Liu Mansion, Liu Mansion can be regarded as a wealthy household. Didn't these people in Liu's Mansion develop into Taiping Taoists by those Taiping Daoists? As soon as the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, they left Liu's Mansion directly and joined the Yellow Turban Army.

Yang Jie just knew about the Yellow Turban Uprising, so on that day, he asked people to mark the word Jiazi on the door of his mansion. Let those people wear yellow scarves on their heads and pretend to be the people of the Yellow Turban Army.

In this way, his Yang family did not suffer from the Yellow Turban Army's big eaters.

Later, it was basically like this, as soon as the officers and soldiers of the government came, he was an ordinary rich family, and when the officers and soldiers left, and the Yellow Turban Army came, he immediately became a military household of the Yellow Turban Army. In addition, the family members who joined the Yellow Turban Army on the face of Bright have repeatedly made him turn evil into good fortune.

It can be said that the Yellow Turban Riot really had no impact on him Yang Jie.

Even, he made a lot of money in secret. Because he knows the secret granaries of some rich people. When the Yellow Turban Army ate the big households, he killed the big family, but he didn't find those secret granaries, he quietly sent his own people to transfer the grain, and found another place to hide it, which became his food and his wealth.

At this time, he and the lord Bo Li Mao, the county lieutenant, as well as various large and small Cao Lu and officials, after the county government, became his private residence in the inner hall of drinking and discussing.

The county government is generally divided into three parts, one part is the public hall in front of the county office, and the middle part of the county government is the office of the staff and affiliated officials; The backyard of the county government, generally known as the inner hall, is the place where the county order lives.

All these officials, big and small, were all awarded official positions to them after Yang Jie was named a county order. They have only been appointed officials for three or two days now, so they have not yet adapted to their current status. Therefore, when discussing things together, as in the past, the heads of these landlords and rich families sat together and chatted with each other, and they were in a mess.

There are two things they are deliberating about.

One, most importantly, is to discuss how to use the convenience of their current position as government officials to gain more wealth.

The second is to discuss whether or not to do the work they are supposed to do according to the orders from above. They all became county officials, but two or three days passed, and they really hadn't done anything that a county official should do. For example, after the war, Yangshi County carried out a lot of work such as population statistics, governance of the people, and restoration of production, but none of them were done.

They basically don't take these things as serious things and don't care at all.

"Lord Yang Jie, now that we unify the price of grain, we will definitely not reduce the price, and see what Wen Shen can do with us."

"That is, where is there no shortage of food now? As far as we have in our hands, scarce things are expensive, so what is it to buy a little more expensive? Anyway, they don't like to buy it. ”

"But...... If we really don't do anything, we won't be able to pay the difference. The court doesn't know what to do with us? ”

"What else can the court do to us? Hmph, we officials didn't ask the court to come, they were given to us by the court itself. Big deal, we're not going to be this official. It turns out that we are as we are. ”

……

Yang Jie had a calm face, and he was really a little annoyed by some of the real brainless people below.

These were originally some landlords and tyrants. Many of them don't know a single character, and their eyes are extremely short, and they can only see the immediate benefits.

Yang Jie glared and shouted coldly: "Don't make any noise." I'm annoyed, look at you one by one, does one of you look like an official? ”

When everyone saw Yang Jie speak, they stopped talking.

"Listen to it, it's impossible to reduce the price of food. In any case, if you say it, it's still up to us. We can sell our own things however we want, that's our freedom. ”

"However, since we are officials, we can't really do nothing. At the very least, you have to make an appearance. Otherwise, if the court really wants to be more serious with us, I am afraid that we will all have a catastrophe. Therefore, the official affairs that everyone is responsible for must be done well for me. Because soon, we have to report the situation in our Yang County from above. Let's think about it, if we don't do a good job as an official, then the higher authorities will investigate and remove our current official positions, so that it will not be so convenient for us to do things. ”

"In addition, we still have a lot of food on hand. This grain, in normal times, can't afford to buy it at all. Just make a lot of money now, as long as we make enough money, it doesn't matter if we do this official in the future. Isn't that right? ”

Yang Jie said to the people below.

"Yang Jie is right, we still have to deal with what we have to deal with. The problem now is that at the current price of our rice, no one among those people can afford it. At the end of the day, I couldn't sell a few catties of grain. Let's think about how this grain can be sold at a high price. ”

"The people in our county can't afford it, so why don't we go to other counties to have a look? It is said that many counties have been robbed by yellow turban thieves, and even the rich have no food, so we can buy it for those rich families. ”

"Well, yes, there are still many counties in the north that are still in the hands of the Yellow Turban Bandits. As soon as the Yellow Turbans leave, we will transport the grain over and sell it at a high price! ”

"Hey...... I heard that the Yellow Turban thieves are also short of food, and they have robbed so much money, and now it is estimated that only they have the money to buy food from us, or ......

……

When it comes to making money with the food in hand, they are really talents, and they even thought of buying food for the Yellow Turban Army.

"No, no, it's not safe to buy it for the Yellow Turban Thief Army, what if they eat black?"

……

"Report! Lord Shentian of the county has come to ask to see you again! ”
