The cool morning breeze blew through the street without pedestrians, gently rolled up a puff of dust and garbage, shook the lanterns on the porch of the wealthy households, and played the courtyards of the rich families one by one, listlessly holding the poles, supporting the lanterns that had been burning all night, blowing on the mouth, blowing out the candles, and then hanging them back, and then picking up the broom, cleaning the floating garbage in front of the door, and the lazy ones, just looking left and right, and then returning to the gatehouse to continue to sleep beautifully.

The sky is bright, and according to the past practice, the county officials who have woken up from a hangover should open the door of the tax yamen and begin to accept those merchants who are eager to rush to Shaanxi to sell, or to pay taxes through the five counties of Shaanxi.

Money is something that cannot be delayed.

However, on the third pole of the day, there is no opening of the gate of the yamen for tax donations, and at the same time, there are no businessmen waiting in line in front of the yamen to pay taxes as in the past.

Yamen is dead and silent, the snack tea house opposite the yamen, which was not very prosperous, is full of friends, the glamorous merchants who were originally disdainful, but at this time they are crowded with these broken places, and they don't care about the dirty and filthy table, and they don't find fault with the little two or the boss's disrespectful attitude, the food is rough, and they come to occupy the position before dawn, if those little two or the boss think that this is delaying their business, as long as the face is slightly unhappy, a handful of copper money and meat will be good immediately, and it is definitely worth a day's income:" Serve another pot of tea, which is a tip. So, regardless of whether you were on the water or the tea, your eyes were still fixed on the dead street, because they didn't drink at all, so they craned their necks and stared at the gate of the tax yamen.

A merchant who came late, hurriedly rushed into a tea house on the street, but looked left and right, but could not insert his feet, and when he was wandering and stomping, he saw that the best seat on the street was the same as himself the night before, and he did not get the number of his companions, so he hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, and said to the brother who had only met in the past few days: "Boss Wang——"

Before he could say anything, Boss Wang had already made a gesture over, and then moved his buttocks, making way for a small place, his eyes still staring at the gate of the yamen.

The merchant thanked him again and again, and whispered, "I'll invite you this time." Then he hurriedly squeezed around Boss Wang, and also stretched his neck to look out.

The so-called I invited it was just a scene, and the guy who gave way didn't take it to heart, just stared outside, looking nervous.

"It's coming, it's coming." A sharp-eyed, whispered reminder to everyone, and his tone was full of excitement.

The tea house, which was originally silent, immediately set off a commotion, and everyone immediately looked at it according to the eyes of this sharp-eyed man, but it was not a bureaucracy, it was more than 20 ragged mothers-in-law and children who appeared on the street.

However, these ragged mother-in-law and children, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, did not have the wailing and begging of the sky, but each took his pocket, covered his arms, and rushed directly to the rice shop like thieves.

After a while, the owner of the rice shop sent the mother-in-law and children out with a courteous smile, but a few guys, each carrying bags of grain on their shoulders, followed behind those mother-in-law and children who were grateful for their kindness, and kept chanting: "Bodhisattva manifestation, Bodhisattva manifestation, thank you boss." ”

The boss bowed in return, and smiled at the old and weak who only scolded in the past: "Old sister-in-law, the Bodhisattva manifests, the Bodhisattva manifests, what is missing, come and get it tomorrow." It was as if the Bodhisattva had really appeared and driven to his home.

The people in the tea house stretched their necks longer, and it was as silent as if no one was there.

Suddenly, there was a "grunt", and a person swallowed a lot of saliva, this sound would be silent and inaudible in normal times, but at this time, it was like thunder.

With this thunderous sound, the whole room let out a sigh of relief, and the exhalation sound made people feel earth-shattering.

Later, the boss stretched his neck to look at it again and again, and then whispered to Boss Wang, who he had just met a few days ago, "What is the first wave?" ”

Boss Wang didn't retract his eyes, but he replied to the brother: "In the fifth wave, there are seventy families, and there are no young and strong people, all women and children come out. ”

"Oh-" Later, he nodded, knowing in his heart that the man didn't come out, because he was afraid of trouble, and sent his mother-in-law and children out, in fact, it was just a test, but it was just to make the grain merchant earn more ruthlessly, Tong Suo was not bullied? At this time, it's definitely.

It seems that last night's news was almost accurate, and the later boss breathed a sigh of relief, it was also last night that he was cowardly, and he didn't send his buddies here to watch the wind like those who were bold, but he lost the best opportunity.

Yesterday during the day, the chief secretary of Nayichuan stood on the square, with his hands behind his back, righteous and awe-inspiring, and issued a declaration to the tax yamen of this Ji County, which was originally the county governance of the imperial court, but this ordinary official document came out in this master book, but the momentum was absolutely different, and in that words, there was infinite confidence and generosity and justice, so that the tears of these oppressed businessmen almost fell.

Then, everyone felt that the wind was favorable, and when the master turned around and Shi Shiran walked to the dock, everyone dispersed in a hurry, not to run away, but to go home and watch, hoping that it was really as the master book said, today, everyone can enjoy the same four-hundredth treatment as Yichuan opposite, what will it be? That will be more than two layers of profit for everyone.

But go back, go back, but, the businessmen and bosses are not idle, one by one sent their most clever guys, quietly lurking in front of the yamen, they can't sleep at all, they are all in the inn, the inn is anxiously pacing, waiting for any new notice from the tax yamen.

The result was a big surprise.

The county magistrate of Naji County didn't take the announcement of the Yichuan master book as a matter at all, and he didn't even mean to send a government official to the county seat to ask for instructions from the county.

This made everyone completely disappointed, so some people sighed and fell asleep, hoping to get up early tomorrow and continue to line up in front of the yamen to catch the first wave of ferries to cross the river.

However, often some of the most unexpected things occur when people are disappointed, in the middle of the night, those clever guys suddenly ran back like crazy, although they tried to suppress their excitement, but the heavy gasps and heavy footsteps of each guy who ran back revealed their irrepressible panic, in fact, it should be said that it was more excited.

Carried out the people, this is the news that all the guys brought back, the tax yamen, just now, suddenly there was a scream and screaming, and then, after a while, the door opened, and a group of troupes did not want to take off their heads, and they didn't care about unloading their clothes, so they held their heads, shouted and rushed out of the yamen, and ran back to the county seat directly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a group of original servants who hurriedly carried a person out, and everyone could see on the delicate boots that it was the original tax county minister, but seeing the servant's panicked look and the blood donation like flowing water, everyone knew that this county was finished.

With the appearance of this corpse, it was followed by the already frightened and nervous master. Everyone knows that master, in this county, who are afraid of the fox and the tiger? At this time, he shouted all the way: "Kill, kill—" and stumbled into the darkness.

Killed, not only killed people, but the one who was killed has been determined, and it is the county man who doesn't take the Yichuan Declaration seriously.

Very happy, absolutely happy, this time, on the side of Jixian Ferry, there are excited and irrepressible people walking around behind every window.

In a moment, the doors of those inns, snacks, and restaurants were all knocked, and all that came were bursts of suppressed excited voices: "Boss, please Zhang Luo order some wine and food, we want to drink some guests, money is not a problem, hurry up." ”

So, in the midst of this black light, the town actually started a carnival all night.

Carnival can be carnival, the news is not too accurate, the accuracy here refers to the fact that in this dark night, they probed each other in series, and there were nearly 100 versions of the news, and even the two of them were clever guys, and the results they saw together were transmitted back to the owner, and they were already different.

If you want to see the accurate results, there is only one way, dawn, as long as the yamen does not open at dawn, it is accurate.

So, the businessman, who hadn't slept all night, occupied all the tea houses in front of the yamen for the first time, waiting to see the results of the next step.

The yamen was not opened, but the first thing that stood out was that the poor people in the town had groups of mothers-in-law and children, covering their tattered clothes, and appeared in the town's grain and rice stores, and then, they quietly carried bags of grain and ran home quickly—they were poor sticks who couldn't open the pots.

Although in their speech, they all repeatedly said that it was the Bodhisattva who came down to the earth to provide relief, but everyone worshipped the Bodhisattva in the direction of not the sea in the east, but in the west.

So, all the people knew one reason, the Bodhisattva was in Hexi.

So, all the businessmen began to rejoice, and Yichuan proposed that there was a backstage, because this Ji County ignored the backstage, so he could only spill blood in the lobby.

Do you need to ask for the rest?

"Boss Wang, why don't you go quickly and grab the ferry?" The later boss couldn't wait, but he didn't forget to greet and remind his brother who gave up his seat to be kind.

That Boss Wang turned around, still a little inexplicable, but seeing that the benevolent brother had already flashed out of the door, his face suddenly turned pale, at this time, he was still sitting here and couldn't get along with his own money, so why not take advantage of this time to call the ferry to cross the river? If Ji County responds, won't he lose a lot?

So, he grabbed a handful of copper coins in his arms, and without looking at much, threw them on the table, and then rushed to the docks.

In fact, as soon as he got out of the tea house, he shouted regret, because, in all the tea houses, there were countless heads, and no one greeted anyone, and all of them rushed to the dock frantically.

Seize this opportunity, being able to cross a boat is a boat, and crossing a boat is an additional 20% of the dividends.

Ji County will never give up, this is everyone's consensus.
