Chiang Mansion Hall.

"It's too much to deceive, it's too much......," Jiang Hongtu scolded, throwing out the teapot and teacup on his tea table, and making a "clang" sound on the ground.

It was a shopkeeper of his family who broke his legs and teeth by Cao Yan, and when he left just now, he deliberately went to Cao Yan to give him a soft face, wanting him to let go of his own shopkeeper and give himself face, but who knows, Cao Yan sneered at him and said: "The face is lost by yourself, and the face is earned by yourself, get out." ”

How could he not be angry with this tone?

"Brother Jiang, dissipating your anger and getting angry can't solve the problem." Ji Feiang persuaded softly on the side.

"I'm at odds with him, fellow travelers, do you classmates have a good plan?" Jiang Hongtu listened to Ji Feiang, calmed down a little, and hurriedly asked.

"If you don't report to the official, he hurts people indiscriminately, and the government should always take care of it, right?" A grain merchant said.

"Humph!" Cui Juncai snorted disdainfully, "Please, have you talked for a while?" He wrote in black and white at the door of his Zhuangzi, and someone added that he said there, don't want to sell old grain, you not only sell old grain to him, but also beat his people, think about this kind of thing, even if you kill someone, the government won't care, right? What's more, the new county magistrate has an extraordinary relationship with him, do you think it is useful to report to the official? Don't make a fuss when the time comes, it will become a joke in the entire Jiangning Mansion. ”

This matter, it's really like Cui Juncai said, if you want to cheat other people's money and get caught, and dare to resist beating others, then you will really die in vain.

"What then?" Jiang Hongtu asked directly at Cui Juncai this time.

Among these people, Cui Juncai has the most ideas, and Jiang Hongtu doesn't want to listen to other people's bad attention.

Cui Juncai smiled and said, "What should I do?" Isn't it easy! ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it." When everyone heard Cui Juncai's words, they pricked up their ears.

"Hehe, I don't know if you've heard a saying?" Cui Juncai smiled faintly.

This made everyone confused, "If you have any ideas, Brother Cui, just say it directly, don't sell it." Jiang Hongtu cried with a sad face and said angrily.

"The real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think he, Cao Sanhuo, deliberately posed for those gold and silver today?" Cui Juncai asked.

"What's wrong with the gold and silver? Could it be fake? Someone asked in surprise.

"It shouldn't be fake, I took a closer look, that thing is very pure, and it is estimated that there is no such thing in the palace."

"Hey, if it's true, what's the problem?" Everyone present was thinking about the gold and silver.

Cui Juncai shook his head at the people around him, and looked down on the IQ of these people a little in his heart, "He did this to obviously show that he was rich, but this first day of grain collection showed that he was rich, what does that mean?" It means that he doesn't have much money, and he is afraid that everyone will run on it, have you ever thought about what he arranged for the person at the door to say? Let everyone take their time, why take your time, only when you don't have money, everyone will let everyone take your time, right? In this way, he can gather funds through various means, so if he wants to be spurned by the people of Jiangning Mansion, then he can't be given a chance to breathe, and use the fastest time to squeeze all his money away, so that he can't collect it anymore, so that his reputation will stink, and when the time comes, he will arouse public resentment, I am afraid that Xiang Wangfu will not be able to protect him, not to mention the small Xia County Order. ”

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was thinking about Choi Juncai's words.

After half a sound, someone spoke: "Brother Cui's words are reasonable." ”

"yes!" There was a chorus of echoes all around.

"So what now?"

"According to Brother Cui's coming, let's go and put grain together."

But at this moment, he suddenly ran into a small house from outside the hall and came to everyone breathlessly: "Whew! Call! Oh no, Xiang Wangfu, Luo family, Xiahou Mansion, Wang family, Li family...... They all began to collect grain, and it was the same as outside the city, five hundred wen and one stone, and only new grain was needed. ”

……

The news was so exciting that the people present became hesitant when they heard it.

"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Hongtu looked at the little guy who came in to report the news and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, we inquired, but all of a sudden, these people started to collect grain through their own stores, and they didn't say anything." The little guy replied.

"Brother Cui, look at what the situation is." The others asked cautiously.

Cui Juncai frowned and thought for a while.

The surroundings were quiet, quietly waiting for the conclusion of his analysis.

"Haha." Cui Juncai suddenly laughed, and the more he laughed, the louder he became.

This startled everyone around them, and even quietly moved a few steps back.

"Brother Cui?" Someone called out carefully, and at the same time looked at everyone, and prepared that something was wrong, so he told everyone to shoulder to shoulder, tied him up, and asked the doctor to see if he was happy and sad and crazy.

"Sure enough, I guessed right, he didn't have much money, so he pulled the palace into the water, you should also know some inside stories about the previous paragraph, this time they owe him a big favor, it is estimated that these people have no choice but to return the favor to him, by the way, put pressure on us, want to scare us away, it is no wonder that this time, he grabbed Brother Jiang's people, and he will put such a heavy hand, in fact, it is to scare us away" Cui Juncai sneered, looking like he saw through Cao Yan's hole cards, and said proudly.

Everyone was quiet for a while, and they savored Cui Juncai's words.

"Brother Cui is right."

"Yes."

"But wouldn't that offend those people?" Someone asked.

"Cut, what are you afraid of? We just don't sell food to those people, so they can't blame us, right? Zhang Wenrui disdained other people's timidity and ridiculed.

"yes, we don't buy it from them, and they can't blame us."

"yes. Did he collect the grain and not let us sell it? Even if we sue Jinluan Palace, we have a reason! ”

"That's right! So let's just go through this process? ”

"That's it! Haha......"

"Let's go together."

"Together."

……

……

Along the way, Xiang Yixin, who was riding in the carriage, listened to the heartfelt laughter from both sides of the road, and prepared to take the money to buy some cloth to make new clothes.

She said with deep emotion: It turns out that the people's demands are really very low as he said, and it is their wish to have a good harvest and sell grain at a good price.

It seems that I still have to learn from him.

When they arrived, at the gate of Cao Yan Zhuangzi, Xiang Yixin and the others got out of the carriage, looking at the long queue, the people with happy expressions on their faces, Xiang Yixin was also very happy.

However, at this moment, she saw something discordant.

A man was hung from the gate.

Looking at Cao Yan who greeted him, Xiang Yixin pointed to the hanging person and asked, "Mr. Cao, what is this for?" ”

Cao Yan tilted his head and glanced at the person who was hanging, and said: "Take the old grain to sell, and if it is found out, the person who dares to beat me has been taught a lesson by me." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Yixin frowned and looked at it with disgust, the person who was hanged, he didn't pay attention to it, and turned around and wanted to walk towards Zhuangzi to see what kind of scene it was.

But at this time, Luo Ming, who came with her, looked at the dress of the hanged person, rolled his eyes, and then snorted coldly and spoke: "Isn't this a shopkeeper of Jiang Hongtu's family?" No wonder I saw their four talented men and the gang on the road just now, and they transported the food back, I thought it was their conscience that discovered it, it turned out to be like this. ”

Luo Ming's voice was very loud, big enough for him, he wanted everyone who heard it to hear, he was not less yin by those grandsons before, but now he finally has revenge, he doesn't want to let go of any opportunity, after speaking, he secretly looked at the direction of Xiang Yixin and Zhang Mu'er.

Sure enough, after Xiang Yixin and Zhang Mu'er heard Luo Ming's words, they looked up again and looked carefully at the person who was hanging.

At this time, a guard behind Xiang Yixin leaned over to the two of them and whispered: "It's the shopkeeper of the Jiang family, when we went out of the city just now, a few of them, as well as the big grain merchants in the city, happened to transport the grain back again." ”

Xiang Yixin nodded slightly, and walked inside, but Zhang Mu'er seemed a little unbelievable, she always thought that those four people were also compassionate and compassionate, and they did it for the people, and in the gathering with Xiang Yixin, they also said countless suggestions for the country and the people more than once, but what they are doing now, she suddenly feels so unfamiliar?

Like everyone else, Xiang Yixin saw the big sign at the door, and heard the child shouting, don't be in a hurry to come in a day, when you collect it for a long time, she nodded with satisfaction. sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, it's Cao Yan, and the arrangement is safe." ”

Then she saw the gold and silver strips standing on the platform, she was first surprised, and then asked with doubts: "Mr. Cao, what does this mean?" ”

"It doesn't mean anything else, just tell those who are in a hurry to buy food, don't worry, I have money, or they all gather, we will definitely not be busy, and when they see the gold and silver I put on the table, they know that I still have a lot of money, so they are not in a hurry." Cao Yan explained.

"That's a wonderful move." Luo Ming clapped his hands.

The others also nodded hurriedly: "Why can't we think of such a good idea, sir is really amazing." ”

"It's over, you just don't need this trick, in fact, if you encounter this thing, you will definitely think of it." Cao Yan said modestly to the others.

"Sir, lift us up, but sir, isn't your gold and silver a little different?" Someone asked, staring at the gold and silver on the high platform.

"Why do you suspect that sir's stuff is fake?" Xia Haibo glared at the person who spoke and said angrily.

"How is it possible, I mean this gold and silver are too beautiful, too dazzling, this purity is not low, right?"

"Yes, it's a shame to use such beautiful gold and silver." Luo Ming was also a little reluctant to hear this.

Cao Yan smiled awkwardly, he didn't dare to say how much he wanted now.

But there must be a lot of them in the Qixia Mountain, but it really can't be done, and you can go to other places to collect, after all, you have seen the mineral distribution map of the world now.

Cao Yan looked at the second ancestors with tangled expressions, and asked, "Why do you want it?" ”

"Yes!" The others were not polite and hurriedly responded.

Cao Yan pointed to the gold and silver bars on it and said, "You can exchange the same weight of gold and silver." First of all, I only need gold and silver, why! You know. ”

"I know, but sir, how much does your one weigh?" The others don't care what Cao Yan's reason is, as long as they exchange with them.

"One hundred catties each, I have a scale here, and when the time comes, the scale will do." Cao Yan said.

Hearing Cao Yan say this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to count, wanting to see how much gold and silver they needed to exchange.

There are a total of seventy-two silver bars, five gold bars, Lin Yueru didn't take the gold bars in the end, she just wanted to know Cao Yan's attitude, seeing that he didn't stop what he wanted, he didn't have the heart to want, if he wanted it in the future, just let him dig it again, anyway, it's just a matter of a few hours, don't bother......

After that, everyone counted the number of families on their side, seven second ancestors, Luo Fatzi, and the county lord, a total of nine families.

"Eight silver bars for each family, one for the lord's family for gold bars, and half for each of our eight families." Xia Haibo arranged on the side, although Xiang Yixin did not say yes, but he still had this kind of political awareness.

"Wait, Brother Xia, did you miss someone?" Luo Ming said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Who did you miss? Mr? Sir, do you want to keep it? Xia Haibo asked Cao Yan curiously.

This made Cao Yan a little crying and laughing, and scolded with a smile: "I'm going to keep what I just said in exchange for you." ”

"Sir, don't ......" Xia Haibo spread his hands, the meaning was obvious, he didn't miss anyone.

Luo Ming pointed to Zhang Mu'er, who was also black-faced beside him, with a black face, and said, "Are you blind? ”

"She? Aren't you two? Even if it's a family, you're embarrassed to take two shares? "Everyone else is not used to Luo Ming, and they are scolding him together.

Although Zhang Mu'er didn't have a quota to carve up, it made Luo Ming listen to it intimately, and even made him a little happy, but now he definitely can't show it, Luo Ming can only look at Zhang Mu'er with a little helplessness, and said a little reluctantly: "Wait a minute, or I will share half of you." ”

"Hmph-" Zhang Mu'er snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and looked at the other gentlemen viciously, she also likes these gold and silver, it's so beautiful!
