Chapter 110: A Little Scam (Ask for Collection)

A comfortable morning just finished his business, and Shi Bin, who was a little tired, was ready to go back to the house to see his Xiaoling, and take advantage of this excuse to slack off for half a day to kill two birds with one stone.

On the way home, I saw many people carrying vegetables in their hands and rice on their shoulders, all of them were elated. It turns out that today is the day of monthly money, and if you can improve your food and eat a few full meals, how can these ordinary people not be happy?

However, he always felt that these people were different from what they usually saw when they paid monthly money, not only in their mental state, but also in other subtle differences, but he didn't notice it for the time being.

But now the first priority is to go home to see Jia Ling and rest, since there is nothing major, it is better to go home first.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiaoqin helping Jia Ling for a walk in the courtyard. Shi Bin, who saw this, was very happy, and the good relationship between master and servant was a blessing for the family. A faithful servant can sometimes be more effective than an army.

"Madam, the master is back." Xiaoqin said with a smile to Jia Ling.

Maybe it's the good weather, maybe it's about to become a mother, Jia Ling's temper is much better, seeing Shi Bin sneaking out of the county government again, Jia Ling, who originally wanted to educate him, didn't mention it this time, but asked: "Shi County Ling is not working today, do you miss your children or your wife?" ”

This reaction surprised Shi Bin very much, although Jia Ling's tone was still a little dissatisfied, but it was not so direct, and she still went down a step by herself.

"Of course, I think both, and besides, my wife is the most considerate husband. I'm sure you'll agree with me taking a day off once in a while, right? "Shi Bin came to a hundred steels into finger wrapping, and also played Tai Chi.

Of course, I understand the current situation, there are pregnant women at home, and there are official affairs in the county, so it can be said that Shi Bin is so busy that he can't sleep. And he didn't complain vigorously today, which made Jia Ling feel a lot more comfortable, so he didn't bother to ask him to go back to the county office on time.

In fact, Shi Bin is a person who needs to do things, and he can't stay after resting in the mansion for an hour or two, but he doesn't want to go back to the county office immediately and be locked in the official pile, so he went to the street after 'reporting' with Jia Ling.

It didn't take long to hear a few quarrels, and I thought it was a big deal, so I asked Xu Feng to go and find out a thing or two. He came back with a smile before he had a bowl of tea, and only said that it was all trivial, and he didn't need to bother with the county magistrate.

Shi Bin's temperament is a little more serious, he doesn't believe in these perfunctory words, after all, which of these cloth clothes is bigger? But such a trivial matter still needs a clear answer, otherwise it is too easy for others to take advantage of it and disturb society.

I ran over to take a look, and it was really a trivial matter: an old woman said that the owner of the grain store was short of catties and taels, but she couldn't come up with evidence, so she had to take a bag of rice that was missing catties and taels and sprinkled it there.

However, the Hu Xu Feng beside him told Shi Bin that the owner of the grain store was indeed a black-hearted businessman, and he was often short of catties and taels. It's just that some people with status or who are not so reasonable dare not be rampant, and they are definitely not honest with other honest ordinary people.

Unreasonable people? Shi Bin looked at Xu Feng meaningfully, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, may I ask who this unreasonable person is?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Feng lowered his head in shame. Since ancient times, they have been a family of soldiers and bandits, and there are few reasonable soldiers, otherwise they would not be called "military masters". But if they could really be fed and clothed, these soldiers would not be so scoundrels and domineering.

"I don't have to blame myself, but I want to know how the shopkeeper is so short of pounds, even if he plays with the scale pole, it seems that there are so many. That old woman doesn't seem to be like that, right? ”

Seeing that Shi Bin wanted to investigate so deeply, Xu Feng had no choice but to make things clear. "My lord, isn't it a monthly payment today? In fact, many families do not just eat these grains, but replace them with cheaper grains such as millet. In this way, you can ensure that you still have some food every day, and you don't have to go hungry to work. ”

It seems that it has made a fuss about this price transfer. Shi Bin immediately ordered Xu Feng to get himself a set of ordinary people's clothes, and he was going to meet the grain store owner to see how he cheated people.

Xu Feng was very quick in his work, and soon Shi Bin became a pitiful Shengdou citizen covered in mud.

As if he had injured his legs and feet while working, he limped up to the grain store owner and asked, "Boss, what is the price of rice today?" I want to buy some millet."

"Look at how much you buy, if you can't afford it, don't stand here and block Lao Tzu's money." The boss pushed the helper away and said impatiently.

It is estimated that he has watched a lot of TV series, and Shi Bin also learned Yang Bailao in "The White-Haired Girl", and said tremblingly: "Boss, no, I just made a monthly payment, and I am going to buy a few catties of grain and rice to go back." ”

After saying that, he pulled out a money bag from his pants pocket full of patches, which looked quite large. From the shape of the money bag, you can also guess that it contains silver. This is a good opportunity to make money for those who have left marks on the wind and plucked their feathers.

The owner of the grain store immediately changed from a bad word to a laughing greeting, saying that he would definitely sell Shi Bin good rice, and told him that now millet is one penny and five catties, and if you buy fifty catties, you will pay one penny and three catties, and if you buy one hundred catties, this is the lowest price.

The price was not wrong, but he knew that it must not be so simple, so he continued to bargain with the boss, and finally agreed to buy 200 catties of millet for one penny.

Because of this "benefit", Shi Bin was very happy, but he couldn't move so much grain and rice, so he had to store it in the cloth shop next door.

And the cloth shop owner looked at Shi Bin with pity, as if he was looking at a stray dog without food.

knew that there must be a problem, but Shi Bin didn't want to reveal his identity, so he just asked: "Boss, why do you look at me like this, is there something wrong with me?" ”

The boss didn't speak, just shook his head vigorously, it is estimated that the boss knew that "trouble comes from the mouth", but he couldn't bear it, so he "kicked Shi Bin" out of the store, not only scolded him a few words but also pointed to the bottom of his rice bag.

At this time, Xu Feng walked out from the side, called Cousin Shi Bin, and carried the rice bag away.

Of course, the two of them didn't really leave, but just dragged the bag of rice to a secluded place to check the rice inside.

To Shi Bin's surprise, the quality of this rice is very good, not some inferior millet. It was when he was puzzled that he suddenly remembered the movement of the cloth shop owner pointing to the bottom of the rice bag.

He immediately fastened his top pocket, scratched open the bottom and looked, and finally understood why the cloth shop owner shook his head. It turned out that the dozens of catties of rice at the bottom were all inferior old rice, and they were mixed with a lot of sand.

Angry, Shi Bin immediately wanted to find trouble, but found that he was missing a very important thing - a receipt. Not even a simple receipt with a fingerprint.

After thinking about it, it would definitely be shocking to ask for the crime now, so he sent Xu Feng as the employer who bought rice to buy fifty catties of rice and came back, but he had to have a receipt.

Xu Feng, who had never been pitted, saw that his adults were being pitted, and he was full of anger and was about to smash the rice shop, but Shi Bin had no choice but to obey Shi Bin's order.

coldly went to the rice store to buy fifty catties of millet, and when he left, the boss still showed a very "sincere" smile and sent Xu Feng out. But just as he was about to step out of the rice shop, Xu Feng suddenly turned around and asked the boss to write a receipt.

As soon as he heard the receipt, the boss's face became gloomy, and he just said that it was too troublesome for such a small business to issue receipts, and it was unnecessary.

But Xu Feng has been a soldier for a year or two, and he is no longer the kind of little baby who abides by the rules, he slapped the table without saying a word, saying that he would not leave without giving a receipt, and even smashed the store.

The shopkeeper could only hurriedly prepare pen and paper and graphite to write the receipt.

Although he was not educated, he still knew the basic one, two, three, 'four, wu, lu, qi, 捌, jiu, pick, bai, and qian, so he pressed his handprint and left with rice and receipts.

I thought there should be nothing wrong this time, but I didn't expect to be cheated by the boss. It turned out that the owner of the rice shop was surnamed Jia, but he deliberately wrote the word bei below one horizontally, so that people had nowhere to start when looking for trouble, and they couldn't win the lawsuit.

Back at the county office, Shi Bin took the receipt in his hand and looked at it carefully, originally thinking that it was not a big deal not to be able to write, and it was the same for pressing a handprint. Now it seems that it was a big mistake.

The shamelessness of the grain store owner made Shi Bin realize that he must immediately popularize education, and he can't just know a few numbers. If this is the case, it is true that you can only be bullied for the rest of your life.

But now there is no compulsory education, although it is said that it is poor and rich in martial arts, but the first condition of this "poverty" is not to starve to death, and they are about to starve to death, who will learn what culture?

If you don't study, you can't do it, so do you want to go to a private school? Want to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone? There are no people to teach, there are not enough funds that can be allocated, and there are too few people who are willing to learn culture. Thinking about it, Shi Bin felt that there was no way out.

It's not appropriate to ask Wang San about this kind of thing, if he, the person in charge of the accounts, knew that he wanted to do this loss-making business again, he would definitely be the first to jump out and oppose it.

Maybe Jia Ling can help herself find a way to get the best of both worlds.

Gently walked to their bedroom, saw Jia Ling resting on the bed, and didn't bother, just sat on the edge of the bed and drank tea. Perhaps it was the sound of tea that woke her up, and she was a little upset at first.

But when she saw that it was Shi Bin, she smiled and said, "You're coming to see your wife and son again?" ”

Today he was embarrassed to be glammy again, but he just said that he would ask her clever lady to do him a favor.

After asking the reason, Jia Ling also had a sad face, where is there a place where you don't spend money to study? It's just how much it costs.

The county's funds are already tight, and now they only have some surplus by using "hiding troops from the people." If we continue to develop education, the surplus money will be immediately exhausted.

But Shi Bin's words are very reasonable, such a simple deception has tricked him a lot, not to mention those honest ordinary people?

"Xiaoling, do you think we can use other methods to encourage everyone to learn culture without giving money from the county?"

"If you want the entire county to be like this, I don't think it's possible, after all, they just eat the Shengdou Xiaomin who has no tomorrow today, and they won't have time to talk to you about the hundred schools of thought, the four books and the five classics." Jia Ling sighed.

However, Jia Ling said that he could let Shi Bin's own soldiers try to learn first, which was considered an attempt, because they were not those who had no food and clothing.

Shi Bin also thinks it's good to try this group, but it's not profitable, and no one will do it if there is no benefit, even himself.

"You say we can let Shi Bin allocate a few more stones of grain and rice as encouragement?" Shi Bin tried to ask.

These words made Jia Ling hide her face and laugh, and only said that if she wanted Wang San to find him desperately, she would go to Wang San.

"I have to think of a way, what to do, it's really troublesome." Of course, I knew that this was impossible, so I had to keep my head down and talk to myself.

"If the adults are willing to listen, the little girl has a way, if she doesn't listen, then she doesn't have to listen." Jia Ling said with a smile.

He had no way out on this issue, so he had to say that he would definitely do it after listening to it.

"Reward and punish the bad" are the four words that popped out of Jia Ling's mouth.

Everyone knows this, do you need her to remind you?

"Lord Prefectural, have you never thought of punishing those who don't study actively?"

Indeed, he had only thought of rewarding those who were making positive progress, and had not thought of punishing those who were slacking off and regressing.

And what he issued was a military order, if you do it well, you should be punished, and if you don't do it well, you will be punished, it seems that Jia Ling means to reward those who are actively studying with the benefits of the punishment.

This is indeed a good way to get the best of both worlds, and Shi Bin, who was suddenly open, praised Jia Ling sweetly, and the two of them enjoyed this feeling。。。。。。
