Chapter 13 That's it

"I ...... Protecting the Dharma, his subordinates rushed into the Ningling County Prison with two good hands that day, killed Huang Huaicai's dog Zhixian, and killed those unsightly jailers and two Jinyi guards guarding Huang Huaicai by the way. "Ma Wu's face is innocent, and he hasn't done anything wrong, and he is not like Serangjun who will spoil a few big girls every time he goes out to do something, and he will come back directly after finishing his errands.

"That's right." Cai Wenyuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his head and asked, "You also killed two Jinyi guards?" ”

"Yes, those Jinyi Guard's killers were the enemies who killed Hall Master Xiao and the two brothers, and their subordinates taught them a hard lesson, and they took their lives after they were tortured enough." Ma Wubald said with a relieved face, he had a good night's sleep after coming back that night.

"You ......" Cai Wenyuan's eyes widened, pointing at Ma Wubald, who was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Hmph, stupid pig!" Selangjun snorted coldly, turned his head and looked at Ma Wubald again. "Serang-kun, if you have the guts, you ...... again" "Enough!" Ma Wu's bald eyes widened, and he was about to teach him a good lesson when he got up, but Cai Wenyuan slapped the table and stopped him.

"You...... What a rice bucket! Cai Wenyuan hated that iron could not become steel, and threw down a sentence, and got up and walked out angrily. I'm not afraid of an enemy like a wolf, but I'm afraid of a teammate like a pig, how can I put such a good thing on the table, it's really a mistake.

"I'm ......" The monk of the vultures was at a loss, and looked at Na Roy, who had never spoken, anxiously, hoping that she could give him an answer.

"Second Brother Ma, if you treat Jinyiwei like that, as long as you are not a fool, you can see at a glance that you have an enmity with them. Shen Chongming is such a smart person, how could he not think that we did this. Roy looked at the horse with a helpless expression. Ma Wu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and his expression immediately became unnatural.

Selangjun on the side smiled disdainfully, "Alas, some people think that others are stupid pigs like him." ”

Hearing this, although Ma Wubald was still a little angry, he did something wrong, where did he still have the face to refute, so he could only keep his head down and not speak.

"Okay, Second Brother Ma, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Even if Shen Chongming didn't find out about us this time, there was no chance that things would succeed, and food prices would return to normal, who would be willing to take risks with us. After all, it was his own person, and Roy could only comfort him when he looked at Ma Wu's bald appearance.

Kaifeng Province.

"Everyone, let's not do this, the most important thing now is to think of a way out, otherwise the food will be smashed in your hands, and this family business will be finished." A grain merchant said helplessly.

As soon as Hu Yingjia had an accident, they got together and began to discuss countermeasures, but after discussing and discussing, they were stunned that there was no way. Thinking about it, at the beginning, even Hu Yingjia didn't have a way, how could a few businessmen come up with a way.

However, seeing that the grain market in Henan is becoming more and more saturated, if the grain hoarded on hand can no longer be sold, I can't even think about the end.

"Ugh." Another grain merchant sighed, "Don't hide it from you, a friend in Yamen yesterday told my younger brother that this time Jiangxi grain merchants suddenly poured into our Henan, and it was the current Qincha Shen Chongming who was behind his back. We are not opponents of such people. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one was speechless for a while. After a long time, someone cautiously reminded: "Everyone, why don't we go and pay a visit to Lord Shen?" ”

"Does it work to go now? Things have come to such a point that the government clearly does not give us a way to live. regret that he shouldn't have listened to Hu Yingjia's instigation to do this, but it can be regarded as completely offending the government. One shook his head and sighed, it's over, it's all over.

"Not necessarily, although Henan has too much food. But this is only temporary, you must know that the hundreds of thousands of victims will not have a harvest until next summer, during which the Yellow River embankment will be built, and the food for the workers is not a small amount. A man said insightfully.

"Huh, next year? By next year, the tens of thousands of taels of silver borrowed will be turned over to more than 100,000 taels, and even if the grain is sold, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay off this debt. The other smiled wryly, it was all this time, and he was still thinking of some good things.

"Hehe, misunderstanding. Since food is still useful, as long as we ask to come to the door and say some good things, and then lower the price of food, do you think Lord Shen will turn us away? The man said with a smug face, there are so many people, and he is still the smartest.

Everyone was stunned, "This ...... So how much do you say is appropriate? Now the price of grain is 500 Wen, and if it is lower, we will lose too much. Someone said worriedly.

"Even if you lose money, you have to sell, and you have to pay back the borrowed money first. The rest of the grain is saved in the hands for a year or two, and it will not be spoiled, and there will always be a day when the clouds will open and see the sky. The man who made the suggestion glanced at the big guy with disdain, he had been doing business for so many years, didn't he understand the truth of a strong man's broken wrist?

Everyone made eye contact for a while, and they all nodded helplessly.

"My lord, the Henan grain merchant outside the door asks to see you." Brother Erdan directly pushed the door in and said, immediately interrupting Lord Shen's thoughts, who were immersed in thinking about building the embankment.

Glaring at him fiercely, Shen Chongming waved his hand and said, "Let them wait outside, even if the official is entangled in some things, I will see them later." Remember, the watch seat pours tea, and you must be attentive. ”

This wait is an hour, the tea alone has been changed six times, and the grain merchants are full of uneasiness, this Lord Shen should not be waiting for the big guy to leave on his own.

But this is the last straw, if you can't hold on to it, you can only go home and wait for the creditor to come to the door. Those rich people in the countryside are not easy to deal with, these people eat people without spitting out bones, and they will definitely raise interest rates sharply while taking advantage of this matter, until they finally eat their family business cleanly!

"Hehe, I've been waiting for you for a long time." At this moment, Shen Chongming walked in with a smile on his face.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that this is Lord Shen, look at this age.

Shen Chongming was also stunned, what kind of expression is this? "Cough, this official Shen Chongming, I don't know what you are doing here?"

Admiration, admiration, envy, jealousy, all kinds of feelings poured into everyone's hearts for a while, and people were more popular than people.

"Lord Shen, I came here this time to ask you for something." The grain merchant who came up with the idea was the first to react.

Shen Chongming smiled slightly, with an unfathomable expression, "Oh, but please speak up." ”

Laughing dryly, the grain merchant said: "Here's the thing, some time ago, we hoarded grain, which caused the price of grain in Henan to soar, and the people were miserable, and they were full of resentment against us. But don't hide it from Lord Shen, we are also forced to do such a thing that humiliates our ancestors, all this is instructed by Hu Yingjia, we are just some businessmen, where dare to offend him, and ask Lord Shen to investigate and forgive me for my mistakes. ”

"Hehehe, rest assured, this official also knows, that Hu Yingjia has been arrested for embezzlement of ink, and will be escorted to Beijing for interrogation by Dali Temple in the near future. In this way, you don't have to worry about him anymore, you can sell it at a lower price, and I believe that the people of Henan will understand you. Shen Chongming said hahaha, the people don't forgive and don't know, but at present, the food in his hand will definitely not be sold.

The grain merchant was stunned for a moment, and smiled very embarrassedly, if this can solve the problem, everyone will not come to you so ashamed to intercede.

But now, no matter how Shen Chongming squeezes, he can only take it head-on. "Hehe, Lord Shen is high, I'm waiting to be taught. However, we people are really ashamed of this matter, so we want to do something to apologize, and hope that Lord Shen can give us a chance to mend our ways. ”

"Hehe, everyone, it's love. The authority of this official is limited, even if he has this heart, he doesn't have this power. In fact, you should go to the Yamen of the Political Secretary to ask about this matter. "The more they are like this, Shen Chongming is also calm, four hundred dollars and one stone, this official will eat you today!

As soon as he heard this, the grain merchant's eyes lit up, and he didn't say anything, but he still had a chance. "Oops, Lord Shen misunderstood. We've discussed it, and the only thing we can do right now is to do something for the people affected by the disaster, and it's your responsibility, so we came to the door and asked what you need us to do, hehe. ”

When the rest of the people saw this guy climb up the pole, they couldn't help but cast admiring glances, and at the same time they all nodded, looking at Shen Chongming pitifully, hoping that he would give everyone a chance to sell the food in their hands.

"That's right." Shen Chongming nodded, pretending to ponder. It took a long time to raise his head, "Since you have this intention, then the official will mention that the people affected by the disaster should be lowered." To tell you the truth, this official is worried about next year's disaster relief food. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the leader flattered: "Lord Shen, don't worry, this food matter is with our people, you don't have to worry." With your words, our food will be delivered to where it is needed in no time. ”

"Hehe, thank you so much. Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder how much you are going to donate for disaster relief? Shen Chongming's words immediately made a group of grain merchants stupid there, donate?

"This ...... Lord Shen, we are willing to donate food from the bottom of our hearts, but you also know that everyone has to support their families, and I am afraid that we will not be able to donate much. Otherwise, how about we lower the price of grain and sell it to the imperial court? The grain merchant said cautiously, for fear that something wrong would annoy Shen Chongming, in that case, this time it would really be no way to enter the heavens and the earth.

Shen Chongming is also a businessman, the donation just now was just a deliberate increase in price, and it is only a royal way to have contacts and contacts, and you can't be said to be bullying behind your back afterwards.

smiled and nodded, "Well, that's right, it's the rule of the court not to compete with the people, so you can make a price, and the official will see if it's suitable." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shen, thank you, Lord Shen." The grain merchant's face was full of gratitude, good man. After being excited, he said cautiously: "My lord, what do you think of four hundred and sixty wen per stone?" ”

"Erdan, have a few grain merchants from Jiangxi come?" Shen Chongming ignored it and shouted directly outside the door. Brother Erdan is not a vegetarian either, "My lord, this is the point of appointment, it should be almost there." ”

The grain merchant was taken aback, and hurriedly changed his words: "My lord, four hundred and thirty wen!" ”
