Chapter 35: Good and Evil
So because of the urgency of time, even if only half a day has passed, many people have already been shaken, so when Li Xie solved the problem of food and clothing, Liu Bao was surrounded by many businessmen.
The grain that could not be levied is now rushing to sell, there is no way, and now it is sold at a suppressed price, although it does not make much money, but there is always a profit, which is better than not being able to sell it in the future.
For these small traders, if there is a batch of goods hoarded in their hands and cannot be sold, it means that the capital turnover cannot be opened, which is definitely a fatal blow.
Although they are all small households, the food they hoard is petty and cannot really solve the problem. But as the saying goes, a small amount adds up, at least the grain sent out in the morning has been collected in this short period of time.
As for the silver taels spent back and forth, this is not too important, at this critical juncture, if you can exchange money for food, the court is absolutely willing.
Because if this money is not spent, let those rebels enter Luotianfu, and these silver are just needed to nourish the enemy, even if Li Zhanji loves money like his life and is greedy for enjoyment, he can clearly distinguish the stakes.
Liu Baobian, the household attendant, was constantly spending money to buy food, and Li Xie began to distribute food again after lunch. Time unconsciously came to the second half of the afternoon, which was around three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its most poisonous.
The poor people who came to receive food didn't think much of it, but the rich merchants couldn't bear the heat anymore and began to leave here one after another.
Because anyway, everything to see has already been seen, and the things to be determined have been determined, and it is useless to stay here for a long time.
When those rich merchants left, Li Xie's food distribution was obviously a little different from that in the morning, and the biggest difference was that Li Xie didn't speak to those who came to receive food.
Frowning, spoonful by spoonful, the movements are getting heavier and heavier, and he almost writes directly on his face, Lao Tzu is annoyed by these four words. The worse and worse service attitude, the direct response is that in the morning, this place is still singing and dancing, and everyone is full of smiles.
By now, as Li Xie's attitude became worse and worse, those in line began to stop talking, and the brows of everyone who came to receive food were covered with a dark cloud.
Up to now, Li Xie has brought a feeling to those who come to the grain, a feeling that Lao Tzu is giving you alms.
People have self-esteem, and the so-called gentleman doesn't eat the food that comes to him, Li Xie's attitude makes more and more people leave after lining up halfway through.
There are thousands of people, and some people can't stand this humiliation and leave angrily, and of course some people rise up to resist. So, when the time came to more than four o'clock in the afternoon, a bird finally jumped out.
"Why are you like this? Even if we take your food, and you are willing to take it, it should not be this attitude now. What do you think of us? ”
Li Xie raised his eyebrows, but he was overjoyed in his heart, what are you doing as Li Xie? Pure displeasure in the heart? No, Li Xie is not superficial to this extent.
Li Xie was waiting for these people with strong self-esteem and courage, waiting for these people to jump out and argue with him. Because only when there was a dispute, Li Xie had no reason to stop distributing food.
"For what? Do any of you know me? I, Li Xie, it's good that you don't mess with me, but once you mess with me, it's a matter of minutes for me to stop giving out food. ”
"I'll tell you right now what I think of you. I can tell you bluntly that I treat you like parasites. A poor and pathetic worm that survives by sucking the blood of the possessed. ”
"Are you breaking your hands or your feet? The refugees in the west of our city are in exchange for food based on their daily labor. Have you contributed to the country or have you been an official? Why should the state support you unconditionally? When you come to receive food, don't you feel guilty in your hearts? ”
"Nothing, any accident has to be good for you. You are not hot in your hands when you hold this grain, and your hearts are not panicked, so why do you ask others to treat you with what kind of attitude they should do to you? ”
"Don't say it, I really won't send this food today, and I tell you that I won't send it again in the future, what I Li Xie said, a mouthful of spit and a nail, always counted."
After Li Xie finished speaking, he threw the scoop in his hand and ignored them and left. There are two sides to everything, and when it comes to argumentative ability, Li Xie can definitely throw them two streets.
Therefore, Li Xie's words, although they are crooked, make people unable to find any flaws. Everyone who said it for a while was dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to refute it, so they could only watch Li Xie keep walking away.
And it wasn't until Li Xie disappeared from the sight of the crowd that the smarter people in the crowd reacted:
"It's all crooked, it's you who wants to send it, and it's you who doesn't send it, and if you don't give it, you won't give it, and you even say that we are parasites. This son is not a son of man, he is a dog and not a man. ”
When Li Xie scolded these people, he was stealing beams and changing pillars, and said that passive acceptance was an active request. Don't look at the difference between passive and active, but the essence of this is very different.
As the man cursed, more and more people reacted, and Fen Fen cursed. In the morning before, how much Li Xie was loved by these people, and how much he was disgusted by these people at this time.
After this incident, Liu Bao, the head of the household department, collected a lot of grain as he wished, leaving only a large merchant, and the grain of the shopkeeper Sun was not collected.
Liu Bao, the household servant, also came to Li Xie that night, mainly because he felt guilty in his heart and felt that Li Xie had borne a lot of infamy because of himself.
But seeing Li Xie's stupid and happy appearance of being able to eat and sleep, Liu Bao really didn't know how to comfort him.
So if he has nothing to say, he should express his worries:
"Now the grain in the city, only the shopkeeper Sun and his family have not collected it, if he really sits on the ground and starts the price, it will be troublesome, for those who can only barely solve the problem of food and clothing every day, if the price of food is too high, isn't it equivalent to losing their lives?"
"Now it is not the government that says that the food distribution will be stopped, but I am the one who says that the food distribution will be stopped, so whether or not the food distribution will be distributed in the end is to be discussed. You can set him a price and tell him that if he exceeds it, you will immediately reply with free food. ”
