In the lobby, there was a silence that could be heard when the needle dropped, and the gentry and wealthy families looked at each other, and saw the gloomy faces of the old parents of the county, and they were all worried in their hearts.

But no matter what, this donation is stopped, everyone is free from breaking money, and everyone is at ease, although everyone usually has a lot of filial piety, but it is all about coming and going, using each other.

Look at the old parents (county order) sitting on it, their faces sinking like water, just caring about serving the tea bowl that has no water up and down, the three classes of officials at all levels, and the county master book thousands of households have also become similar to wood carving clay sculptures.

It's not interesting for everyone to look at it, but it's not a way to sit like this, the pole outside the city is violent, maybe the next moment will be killed, their own small and soft will have to be dotted, and the servants and women will also settle down, and then leave the bulky objects and flee quickly, so you look at me, I look at you for a while, and finally all the eyes looked at the grain merchant king shopkeeper who usually walked around with the old parents of the county.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Wang shopkeeper has a huge amount of home, and the Ming Dynasty has implemented a whip law through Zhang Juzheng, so that the tax is collected uniformly (except for autumn grain and summer grain), but where is the money in the hands of the small people to pay taxes? At this time, the grain merchants took this opportunity to begin to suppress the price of grain, even to half of the normal price, and hoarded it for profit, and when the people had paid the taxes and had no grain in their hands, they would sell it at a high price.

Now Boss Wang has hoarded nearly 100,000 stone of grain in various places, and there are about 30,000 stones in the warehouse in this rich county alone, so calculated, when it comes to the spring of next year, or exported to Mongolia or sold locally, it will be an income of 100,000 yuan. Besides, there is no need to spend this county respect this time to pave the way for favors.

Don't you see that the poles outside the city have reached 50,000, menacing, where are the thousands of detached signers and those unbearable guards in this district and county town can resist? What's more, as I said before, there is no Yan'an rescue, and there is no rescue in Linxian County, it is inevitable that the city will be broken, as long as this city is broken, the county lord will only have two ends.

First, he was taken by a pole and cut off his head by defending the county seat, but with the current discipline of these so-called scholars, it seems that this county old parents will not do this.

That is the second article, abandon the city he left, but the end is, in the end, to the incompetence of governance, so that bandits are rampant and troubled the place, resulting in the loss of land and the loss of the city, opening a precedent for the loss of the city in the interior of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Since you're dead no matter what, there's no need to invest in you.

But the book friend said, since the Wang family has stored a lot of grain in the county, will it not be protected once the city is broken? Then there is still hope for donation, right?

In fact, this shopkeeper didn't really think of this, but since he is a businessman, especially this person who comes and goes inside and outside the customs, isn't that a sleek and shrewd person?

It is a good friend with the county and buys the number of roads, but it is also to pave the way for other people to do that shady business. Think about all the gentry and heroes here now, how can there be such a huge industry in this bitter cold land in the northwest? Isn't it trafficking in some real grain cloth, iron, copper, medicinal materials and salt that the Tartar children were strictly ordered by the imperial court not to be exported, and then exchanged for war horses, and piles of gold, silver, utensils and jewels that the Tartar children really plundered in the Central Plains, of course, the war horses will not be sold to the official family, but will be sold to poles all over the country, and the profit will be more than ten or twenty times the profit? The biggest buyers and the fastest to get rid of the big profits are those poles that have been blocked by the imperial court, and that is the biggest customer who has reached today.

Counting on those barren lands, you can't save this huge family wealth in eight lifetimes.

At the same time, those who go out here, along the way, who don't leave money and food for the various poles? At the same time, for competitors, it is inconvenient to come forward to the enemy, and it is necessary to spend some money to invite this pole to cook.

You ask the person who is sitting, is that ass clean underground? Even you, a county honor, dare to say that you confiscated the benefits of the pole? Otherwise, why are some poles always in and out of the city, but nothing happens? It's just that everyone knows it.

In fact, when he got the non-mud alliance to the world, the king's shopkeeper got a notice of non-mud, and he had to make some reciprocal returns, promising to take out 2,000 stone of grain and 2,000 taels of silver to pay homage to you, so as to protect the shops in the city and the large quantities of crude benzene goods from loss.

In fact, the pole is the most righteous, and those who promise will definitely become bigger, and they are more trustworthy than those officials. I dare to promise that after the pole has been looted, I will retreat, and I will come back to count the inventory, and deduct those that should be given, and there will definitely not be a grain and a half grain missing.

If you look at the gentry and rich people sitting here now, they all seem to be in a hurry, and they can't be said, everyone has actually already had a relationship with the rod that does not stick to the mud.

When I was thinking about this, I saw that everyone was looking at themselves, and they were sitting under their buttocks as if they were sitting in a brazier, and it seemed that they had to come forward with their own heads.

So he stood up carefully, and said to Ai Ai's kneel: "Old parents, since we have the understanding of our old parents, we are grateful, and now if the old parents have no instructions, then we will have to run for the livelihood of today and tomorrow, and we will no longer disturb the old parents to discuss military affairs with the adults, and I will leave." ”

Seeing that they had taken the lead, the merchants and gentry also stepped forward and knelt down, saying that there were sick people in their homes or they needed to borrow rice and grain for the night, and even those who were in a hurry said that there was a fire in their homes, so they were waiting for themselves to help, in a word, they were looking forward to the county honoring themselves to leave, and then quickly leave this land of tigers and wolves.

Zhang Xianling put down the tea bowl at this time, and said solemnly: "Fellow squires and elders, I also understand your difficulties. ”

There was a burst of sycophancy below, and it was said that the old parents still loved and understood the people, and the people were truly blessed.

"But." The county order suddenly raised his tone, and the following immediately became silent, waiting for the county lord to follow.

"At this point, when the pole thieves are attacking, the county has the responsibility of guarding the land and protecting the city for the emperor, and it is absolutely not to be slack, but in order to defend the county seat, and to protect the gentry and rich merchants from the poison of the war, we and the county will work together to repay the country with death and repay the emperor's grace."

The following is another piece of praise for the county's high wind and bright festival, loyal to the country, is an example for everyone to learn, but saying this, everyone looked out of the door with their eyes, hoping that Zhang Xianling would quickly finish talking nonsense, and everyone would go their separate ways.

"At present, the foreign enemy must first solve the internal worries, and the outside must be at ease, find out the collusion with the pole, usually resell materials and poles for fornication, and now want to steal and sell the county in exchange for wealth, so as to concentrate on protecting the safety of the county."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the hall and others heard the sound outside the strings, and their faces turned pale one by one.

Usually everyone is doing it, and the officials of the government are also doing a little bit of profit, everyone closes their eyes and makes a fortune together, regardless of his darkness and the destruction of his country? Even you, Zhang Guang, have taken everyone's contributions, otherwise how could you buy a lot of land in Jiangnan, such as a cloud's wife and concubine?

Usually hello, I'm hello, everyone, but if this is really investigated, isn't that a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the family?

Now that this matter is suddenly raised, what is the reason for the county honor?

Before everyone could react, the county order slapped the startled wood, and the lobby that immediately shook was a piece of dust, which actually gave people the feeling of covering the entrance of the hall.

"Come on, quickly take down the outlaw who hooked the pole for me."

Suddenly, dozens of wolf-like officials broke in, and they couldn't help but overturn the chair behind Boss Wang, and held Boss Wang tied up with all kinds of flowers.

Boss Wang was slightly stunned, he had been tied up with a rope, and at this time he immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly opened his throat and shouted; "The county respects the old parents, why is this? I am a good and law-abiding businessman, and I usually do not lack your filial piety, how can this be? ”

The county magistrate was even more furious, slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted hysterically: "Bold profiteers, at this time, they will still bite their bosses, and their mouths will spew blood, come, give me a palm." ”

The famous master hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and his mouth for a while, until the fat face of the shopkeeper Wang's already obsessed fat was even more inhuman, and dozens of big teeth spurted out with blood, where did he still say half a sentence?

The famous master of the punishment only then Shi Shiran said; "I'm sorry Boss Wang, it's not that my brothers don't take care of me, but Boss Wang's matter has been revealed, and I have to follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"Master Li, I don't know which law to break, I'm a good law-abiding citizen." Boss Wang cried for a while, and fell to his knees and begged vaguely.

"Hehe, Boss Wang, you're a big sin, let's go and talk about it." shouted at the end of the day; "Come on, put the criminals in chains, and the three shifts will quickly lead people to take down the criminals' families and put them on death row, and seize all the criminals' fields and materials and enter the government."

"Yes," all the servants said loudly.

Copying the house is the most willing thing for everyone, especially if you don't have such a big rich businessman, you can make a windfall of money.

When Boss Wang heard this, it was like the sky was falling, where was the slightest strength to struggle? It took a while to raise his head in the trembling eyes of his fellow gentry, and pleaded: "The little people don't know what the crime is, and I ask the eldest lord to make it clear, and also ask the eldest lord to see that the small people have been benevolent in their conscientious service in the past." ”

The county order was ignored at all, just with his mouth, the famous master saw it, Shi Shiran stepped forward, took out a stack of prickets in his sleeve, and read it aloud, Boss Wang was paralyzed on the ground when he heard it.
