When I returned to Zhuangzi, the sky was already slightly bright, and some people who lived nearby had already come with rice, and in this era, cattle belonged to super luxury, and sometimes there were only a few cows in a village, so the general transportation was to rely on manpower to pick or some simple wheelbarrows and the like, to act as a means of transportation.

In the village, yesterday, Cao Yan had already arranged how to buy grain.

It is to act according to a grain collection team, a group is divided into about three to five people, first, take the grain seller to the warehouse, store the grain in the warehouse, and then be responsible for checking the new and old grain, no problem and then weigh it with a measuring device, and then take it to the place of payment to collect the money, and collect the grain in an orderly manner.

Cao Yan erected a notice board at the entrance of Zhuangzi with a few words written on it.

Note! Honjo does not accept aged rice, and I purchase rice at a stable price for many years, so please arrange your time reasonably.

And Cao Yan also arranged a few children, and every time he saw a person carrying grain, he would say this again, after all, many people in this era are illiterate.

Cao Yan is helping the people, not helping those grain merchants to take over, and he is too lazy to collect those old grains.

In order to increase the accuracy of the latter sentence, Cao Yan had people build a tall platform at the entrance of Zhuangzi, on which stood dozens of silver sticks with bright silver light and a few golden sticks.

There were also a few people standing there guarding and introducing, Zhuangzi has the economic strength to accept everyone's rice, and also told everyone not to squeeze in one day, so that the people behind may not be able to take their turns, and it also wastes everyone's time.

Cao Yan's hand is actually playing well, the gold and silver standing are shining, so that many people who have sold grain once, and are ready to go back to pick it up again, are not in a hurry to continue to come today, which also relieves Cao Yan's pressure to collect grain.

And proudly, Cao Yan adopted a lot of righteous sons and daughters some time ago, and the manpower was very sufficient, so there was nothing Cao Yan to do, so he could quietly let people move a recliner and sleep under a big tree in a conspicuous position in the Zhuangzi.

Lin Ruyi sat beside him and helped him shake the fan.

Yesterday, other people could still take a nap, but Cao Yan did not rest the whole time, manipulating mechanical mining, and although Cao Yan said last night that he would never want to go all night in the future, but this is obviously to comfort himself, if he doesn't go, where will he get so much money to buy grain?

The people who sold the grain and took the money left happily with smiles on their faces.

However, when passing by the gate of Zhuangzi, many people will bow in the direction of Cao Yan from afar, and some will even kowtow a few times.

This makes the good people in Cao Yan's system keep beating.

……

……

Over time, when the first convoy appeared in front of Zhuangzi.

Cao Yan knew that it was time to come, and finally came.

He stood up and looked towards the road that connected to Jiangning Mansion in the distance.

It was a continuous procession, Cao Yan sneered a few times, and ignored it.

He knew that these were the troops of grain merchants, and ordinary people used simple ox carts or picked them themselves, and such a huge team would have no one else but grain merchants.

……

"Young Master, that's a baby." An old shopkeeper beside Cui Juncai looked at the dazzling gold and silver sticks standing on the tall platform, quietly pointed, and said to him secretly, "Wait a minute, we will ask them to settle the bill with those gold and silver." ”

Of course, this is also said in the mouths of other discerning people.

The purity of this gold and silver is too high.

The appearance is simply blind to the eyes of a lot of people, and the ancient landlords have a fine tradition, that is, to save money, save gold and silver, as long as there is a little spare money will choose to save it and bury it in the ground, like the gold and silver that Cao Yan took out at this time, this is simply for collection, so it also makes many people present itching.

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult, before their copper coins are used up, it is estimated that this is impossible." Cui Juncai frowned and said with a little annoyance.

"But the eldest young master, our family doesn't have much food, if we start to act now, I'm afraid we won't survive that time." The old butler reminded him.

Cui Juncai glanced at the old housekeeper, and then at the stick-shaped metal bars on the high platform, "I also know, but now that it has been shipped out, it is impossible not to sell it, and transport it back, in that case, everyone will learn to do this, and when the time comes, no one will want to empty his family, so he can only sell the grain this time, you hurry up and go to the surrounding area to collect grain, and then arrange people to guard here, as soon as he uses these gold and silver to collect grain, he will hurry over and make a move." ”

"Got it, it's still the eldest young master who is smart." The old housekeeper patted Cui Juncai's ass a little.

"Don't leak the news."

But what Cui Juncai didn't know was that the two of them were not smart among these people.

Many people, after seeing the gold and silver on the high platform, have this kind of intention.

……

"Your grain is stale." A little girl who collected grain said after checking a sack that she was the girl who was unwilling to burn her clothes last time, and Cao Yan helped her choose a name, called Cao Xiaoxuan.

"Smack!" When the man heard this, he slapped him in the face, "Stinky girl, what are you talking about?" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you? "This person is a shopkeeper of Jiang Hongtu's family, and he usually bullies these poor people, and he forgets where he is for a while, and continues to play tricks.

Covering half of her red and swollen face, Cao Xiaoxuan did not flinch, and continued: "But your rice is old grain. "Cao Yan is her father-in-law and her benefactor, and she will never allow anyone to take advantage of Cao Yan.

"I think you really want to die." The man raised his hand and was about to fight, but his hand was pinched and he couldn't move.

"Who grabbed Lao Tzu's hand," the man scolded and turned his head away.

It was a person from Lin Jiazhai, staring at him with anger.

……

"Father-in-law, Xiaoxuan was beaten." When Cao Xiaoxuan was beaten, a child hurried over to report the news.

"Damn, who is so awesome that he ran to Lao Tzu's territory to beat me?" Cao Yan scolded, quickly stood up and rushed to the place where there was trouble.

As soon as I came over, someone from the crowd shouted, "Auntie (father-in-law), here." The crowd got out of the way in an instant.

Cao Yan walked in and saw Cao Xiaoxuan, who had a slap mark on half of her face, glanced around and asked, "What's the matter?" Cao Yan's tone was cold and cold, his daughter was beaten, and she was still in her own Zhuangzi, which was simply trying to die and not look at the day.

As soon as the girl saw Cao Yan, her previous resolute expression instantly collapsed, her eyes turned red, and she said with a whimper: "Father-in-law, his rice is mixed with aged millet, and if I say it, he will beat me." ”

Cao Yan looked at the shopkeeper who was obviously a little frightened, and didn't care about his flattering smile, and said angrily: "I'll fuck your mother, who is it, break his hands and feet, add half of his teeth, and then hang him to the door of Zhuangzi, put him down tomorrow morning, and throw it into the mass grave if he dies." ”

Cao Yan is not the kind of person who can tolerate it, especially for his family, he has a special emotion in it, you bully him, maybe he will put up with it, but his own family, hehe, can't bear even a little grievance.

Sure enough, it was as fast as ever, and Cao Yan's words just fell.

I heard two broken bones on the man's body, and then there was a "snap", the sound of the slap, and the man flew out with a mouthful of blood and half of his teeth.

Immediately afterwards, a person from Lin Jiazhai, like a chicken, grabbed the pain and wailed and rolled on the ground, and he walked towards the door of Zhuangzi.

"Wait, if this happens, you don't need me to teach you how to do it, right?" Cao Yan asked the surroundings, and then said to those who sold grain, "Those who have old grain will be dragged away by themselves now, I won't accept it, and the next time I find out about this, the grain seller will be dealt with directly like this person." ”

"Got it." Cao Yan's order made them very relieved, and the people around Lin Jiazhai agreed very happily.

And Cao Yan's words also made many people's eyes roll, and then someone turned the horse's head without saying a word and rushed back to the city.

Including, it's all Cui Juncai of the new rice.
