Chapter 351: Is It a Misunderstanding?
Basically, all the actions and words of Gongsun Jian on this day were recorded by Gu Qing and passed on to the capital.
After all, the task assigned to Gu Qing by the emperor was to record all the things of Gongsun Jian, and he did not let him understand what all Gongsun Jian's expressions and movements meant.
And this is basically the basic skill of every member of the Heavenly Son Guard. After all, in addition to protecting the emperor, they also had other hidden tasks.
After all, knowing too many things is not beneficial, so everyone has developed the habit of not thinking about why, but just focusing on the task.
Of course, no matter if Gu Qingming doesn't understand, Gongsun Jian is not ready to explain anymore.
Don't look at the fact that Gongsun Jian and Gu Qing have a good relationship on the surface, but this is only the surface, he still understands Gu Qing's purpose.
Gongsun Jian didn't want to fall into it.
On the other side, with Gongsun Jian's instructions, Qin Shouye immediately contacted several wealthy businessmen who stood in the same camp and began to plan the establishment of a grain store.
Fortunately, although the others did not prepare food in advance, they were all rich people after all, and there was naturally no shortage of food at home.
As long as they can cope with today's day, they can go to the county contact overnight to bring new food.
It was precisely because of this that less than an hour after Gongsun Jian left Qin Shouye's store, the new grain store had already opened.
Although there is not even a plaque, the food placed at the door of the store, as well as the shouts of the shopkeeper and Xiao Er who were discussed by several wealthy businessmen, still let the people of Tianyuan County understand.
This is where a new grain store has opened.
To be honest, the opening of the new grain store was basically a surprise to all the people.
After all, they are all Tianyuan people, and they still know the power of the Gu family. Basically, in the past, people who opened grain stores were squeezed down by them, so that after so many years, no one thought of opening a grain store at all.
Even when the price of the Gu family's grain store increased, they just gathered around the door to make trouble, and never thought of other wealthy merchants to buy grain from other wealthy merchants in the past.
However, having said that, there is food to sell, and the price is the same as when the price has not risen, so these people naturally can't manage so much.
They crowded in front of this grain store opened by several wealthy merchants to buy the food they needed.
As for the Tianyuan grain store that has no shopkeeper, naturally no one cares about it.
The second child in the grain store is not a very conscientious thing, after all, he only came to this grain store for wages.
So I sat down very leisurely where the shopkeeper was originally sitting, and fell asleep bored.
When Gongsun Jian learned that this grain store was open, he secretly scolded Qin Shouye in his heart.
Because you don't have to think about it, Gongsun Jian knows that as long as he stands at the door of the grain store at the time of opening, he will increase his popularity without saying anything.
After all, the people are not fools, and when they saw him standing at the door of the grain store, they must have thought that it was Gongsun Jian's instructions to open the grain store.
When the time comes, although he will be embarrassed to praise Gongsun Jian, he will also be grateful in his heart.
In fact, the reason why Qin Shouye and the others didn't invite Gongsun Jian was because opening a grain store was not a big deal, and they were afraid that bothering Gongsun Jian for such a trivial matter would make him angry.
Fortunately, the grain store had just opened, Gongsun Jian put down the work in his hand and hurriedly walked towards the grain store with Gu Qing.
At this time, outside the grain store, in addition to the people who were flocking to the store, there were several wealthy merchants led by Qin Shouye in the periphery.
They all looked at the voices of the people who went to buy with a smile on their faces, and said a few good words to the people from time to time.
However, when they found that Gongsun Jian was coming from Gongsun Jian's side, they all hurriedly ran over with a flattering smile on their faces.
"Lord Gongsun, you're here."
"I'm just here to see how things are going at your grain store." Smiled and nodded, and then Gongsun Jian drove towards Qin Shouye again, and said in a joking tone: "Shopkeeper Qin, you are really not kind enough!" This grain store is open, why don't you inform me? ”
As soon as Gongsun Jian said this, cold sweat immediately broke out on Qin Shouye's forehead over there, but fortunately, he heard that Gongsun Jian was speaking in a joking tone, and he was not directly angry.
So, he hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord, I don't dare to let you deign to come to such a place." ”
Hearing Qin Shouye's words, Gongsun Jian glanced at the people not far away, pretending to be a little angry and shouted loudly: "Why can't I come to this kind of place?" Although I am a county magistrate, I am also a human being, how can you treat it differently? ”
These words made Qin Shouye not only break out in a cold sweat, but also very puzzled.
After all, Gongsun Jian was obviously not angry just now, why is he suddenly angry now?
However, when he saw the eyes of the people at the gate of the grain store looking at Gongsun Jian, he immediately understood what Gongsun Jian meant.
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead slightly, Qin Shouye hurriedly said: "The lesson of the adults is that the villain will definitely invite you next time." ”
"That's right, as an official of the Great Zhou, there is nothing special about me." Gongsun Jian nodded with satisfaction.
Then he walked towards the grain store, after all, he didn't rely on the past, and he couldn't hear the embarrassing praise of the people, how could he get popularity?
Perhaps he understood what Gongsun Jian meant, so when Gongsun Jian approached the store, the shopkeeper Qin began to talk about Gongsun Jian asking him to open a grain store.
Immediately attracted a lot of embarrassing praise from the people, but although the words sounded very embarrassing, Gongsun Jian was still very satisfied when he saw that the system showed a rising popularity value.
Although Gongsun Jian only said a few modest words and made a few nodding movements, his popularity value changed from 104 to 107 points.
To be honest, Gongsun Jian has always wanted to understand what the use of this popularity value is, but unfortunately, the escape of the system elf made Gongsun Jian not understand the use of this system at all.
Except for being able to give a final answer when the case happens, it is useless at all other times.
Even, if the main character does not appear, the system does not even give a hint.
Just like the ancient shopkeeper he caught at noon today, the system didn't even give a hint.
Obviously, in the judgment given by the system, the capture of the ancient shopkeeper will not bring him political performance points.
So much so that now Gongsun Jian is still a pitiful 4 points, and there are still 6 points away from Gongsun Jian leaving Tianyuan County.
After shaking from the shop for a while, Gongsun Jian went back to the yamen.
After all, he can't just stay there with nothing to do, he still has the work of the county order to do.
Two days later, Gu Fugui, who realized it later, finally realized that something was wrong.
Because the shopkeeper of the grain store has not come to him to report the progress of the business in the past few days, at the beginning he thought that the ancient shopkeeper had something to do, but he didn't have time.
But when he asked, he knew the real situation under the puzzled eyes of his subordinates.
The ancient shopkeeper was arrested by Gongsun Jian.
At this time, Gu Fugui was a little panicked. Because he knew that the Gu family's grain store business would definitely be over.
Especially when he heard that Qin Shouye and several people had joined forces to open a grain store, he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart.
Since Qin Shouye and the others have taken refuge in Gongsun Jian's side, Gongsun Jian will definitely support a few people to open a grain store in order to win them over.
Not to mention, because of the sudden price increase a few days ago, the reputation of the Gu family's grain store was greatly damaged.
Thinking that the grain store business was in vain, Gu Fugui directly asked his subordinates to call Gu Changshun over.
Without superfluous words, Gu Fugui directly asked him to kneel on the ground, and then used the leather whip that had been prepared to slam Gu Changshun's body fiercely, venting the anger in his heart.
Although the business of the grain store does not account for a large proportion of all the industries of the Gu family, as long as he starts, he knows that the majesty that the Gu family has built up for more than ten years is over.
After all, many wealthy businessmen who took refuge in the Gu family did not rely on the Gu family with iron heart, and many of them were afraid of the majesty of the Gu family.
But now, the business of the Gujia grain store is over, which gives these wall grasses a terrible signal.
The Gu family is not invincible, he can also be defeated!
After all, there is only one family in the Gu family, although it looks very powerful. But in the face of so many wealthy businessmen, it simply can't stop it.
"Dad, why did you hit me, and I didn't do anything wrong?" Although he knelt on the ground and was whipped with a leather whip by Gu Fugui, Gu Changshun was still very unconvinced.
"Why are you pumped?" Gu Fugui laughed angrily.
He really didn't expect his son to be so stupid, and he still didn't know the root of the problem.
"There's no reason, I just want to smoke you, okay?"
The cold tone came out of Gu Fugui's mouth, and the movements in his hands did not stop.
Listening to Gu Fugui's words and feeling the tearing pain on his body, Gu Changshun, who was kneeling on the ground, was unhappy.
If there's nothing wrong with me, why are you pumping me?
Therefore, Gu Changshun hurriedly got up and turned around and ran. He thought about going to Yang Cuilan and asking him to help him.
"Stop!"
Seeing that he ran away directly, Gu Fugui was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"I'm not stupid, why do I keep letting you smoke?" Although he was running, Gu Changshun did not forget to answer Gu Fugui's words.
Hearing these stupid words, Gu Fugui, who was angry and attacking over there, directly turned black in his eyes and fell straight down.
He was directly stunned by Gu Changshun.
There's no way, it's impossible not to get sick without being angry with such a bastard son.
Gu Changshun over there saw that his father fainted directly, and he didn't know what to think, so he didn't even go over to take a look, but still ran to his wife with his head bored.
Fortunately, there were still subordinates around, so Gu Fugui was not allowed to lie in the backyard for half a day.
When Gu Fugui woke up, he just opened his eyes wide, staring at the roof and not knowing what he was thinking, and his face was completely devoid of the anger he had before he fainted.
I don't know how long later, he suddenly sighed and muttered an inexplicable word.
"Fortunately, I didn't let him know, otherwise my Gu Fugui would really be finished."
On the other side, Gongsun Jian naturally didn't know that Gu Fugui here almost died.
If he knew, he would definitely be worried about Gu Fugui.
If Gu Fugui hangs up like this, then his idea of getting political performance points from the Gu family will be in vain.
Because after such a long period of observation, Gongsun Jian found that the Gu family seemed to be a little unsimple.
Of course, Gongsun Jian's so-called is not simple, because the affairs of the ancient family are not just as simple as oppressing the people on the surface.
There must be something unknown in the Gu family.
It's just that although there are suspicions, but because there is no evidence, Gongsun Jian is really not good to do it directly.
If there is evidence, Gongsun Jian doesn't have to play any conspiracy with the Gu family at all, and directly takes down the Gu family, then the Gu family will be finished directly.
It's a pity that he didn't find out, and the system didn't give an answer, and Gongsun Jian could only continue to suppress the forces of the Gu family step by step according to the plan.
Of course, although you can't catch Gu Fugui, you can still catch Gu Changshun. After all, with the evidence of the ancient shopkeeper of the grain store, Gongsun Jian directly let Gu Changshun, who had just been whipped several times, be arrested and put in prison.
In the Great Week, raising grain prices without permission is a big jail. Although Gu Changshun didn't cause much loss, and Gongsun Jian couldn't directly lock him up for a few years, it was still feasible to lock him up for a month.
In this way, Gu Changshun, who had just come out of prison, was imprisoned again before he could enjoy his life outside.
