Yesterday's Jinling City, there were two things that people talked about.

The first thing is that the night before in the "Yunling family", a northern son named "Ni Daye" defeated Mao Buyi and Hou Junting, two "four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River", through the "Flying Flower Order".

What's even more amazing is that Ni Daye actually wrote ten poems in a row in a fit of anger, according to the onlookers present, the quality of those ten poems is excellent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has never seen it in his life.

It's a pity that because yesterday's competition was short, and everyone didn't have any preparations, Ni Daye just read the sentence out and didn't leave any ink treasures, which is really a pity.

Because Ni Daye went out of the city to relieve the siege of Wang Ba, everyone took it for granted that he must be staying in the palace, and someone who had good deeds went to verify it, but was told that there was no such person as Ni Daye in the house.

That's a little weird

Obviously, the poetry is superb, and now there is another opportunity to make a name for himself, if it was someone else, he would have been busy running out to show up, right? But he was gone, which is incomprehensible

Some people even compare this Ni Daye with Zhang Xianbo, who is far away in Jingzhou and has only heard of it, because these two people have the following things in common.

He is quite poetic, and his works are praised, but he has only heard about it, and there are very few people who can see the true face

Since ancient times, there have been talented and beautiful people, and there is no doubt that Ni Daye must be a talent, so after the girls in Jinling City who have not left the pavilion heard that even Mao Buyi and Hou Junting could easily defeat Ni Daye, their hearts rippled and they inquired everywhere about Ni Daye's whereabouts.

The second thing is that it's also very sensational.

Wang Chengen posted an announcement in the city, saying that it was natural and inevitable for the Zhao family grain village to reduce the price, and in a few days, all the grain villages would reduce the price! When food prices have stabilized, there is no longer any need to fear the tide of displaced people.

Therefore, Wang Chengen ordered that from today onwards, the city gates should be opened, because he had already negotiated with the leader of the exile tide, and the exile tide would rest in Jinling City for a few days before leaving.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

In addition to shock, the people's reaction was more joy, if according to Wang Chengen, the price of this grain will soon all fall, and those people who have not grabbed the low-priced grain of the Zhao family in the past two days have finally stabilized.

And many grain owners led by Zhao Baiyu are very disdainful of this, all grain farms have reduced their prices, who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?

They have all learned about Zhao Baiyu's hardship of being forced to reduce prices, and they have also discussed that as soon as Zhao Qingfeng comes back, the price of grain will rise immediately!

And when the time comes, all of them will close the door, and no one will knock on it!

Grain?

No!

Do you let the tide of homeless people into the city?

Let's go in!

See how you end up then!

On this day, Jinling City was rarely lively.

Early in the morning, naturally they still came to the shop of the Zhao family grain village and waited to grab the grain, this time the Zhao family's descendants learned to be smart, and only brought a thousand catties of grain over, even if they wanted to rob it, it was gone.

According to their master, today is the last day to sell grain like this, hey, pity those who can't get food!

And the people who didn't grab the grain today are not so depressed, they still believe in Wang Chengen to some extent, and although the Zhao family sells little grain, if it is like this every day, they don't believe that they will never be able to grab it!

Therefore, after the grain was sold, everyone came to the gate of the city, and found that the gate was really wide open, poked their heads out, and waited eagerly.

And the Zhao family in Jinling City, Zhao Baiyu and Mrs. Zhao were pacing back and forth in the house, in an impatient mood

Zhang Twelve didn't know what was going on in the city.

Because he had made up for a day's sleep yesterday, he got up early today, and when he got up, he found that the homeless people had gotten up earlier than them.

can enter Jinling, and there is silver to take, but they are excited, where is the mood to sleep lazy?

As for Zhao Qingfeng, who was being held by Lu San and Du Lang, his expression was also a little excited, his eyes secretly glanced at Zhang Twelve, with a cheap smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking

The happiest person is Lu Sanpi, who has been in Jinling for more than 20 years, and finally wants to mix up with an official identity, which is unimaginable at the beginning, right?

This time, I can finally go back to the village to worship my ancestors openly

Because of their thoughts, everyone's feet are a lot faster, where is it like a homeless person?

Facing the rising sun in March, the majestic and elegant Jinling city wall appeared in front of everyone's eyes from afar, and then went forward, and sure enough, I saw the open city gate, and the mood can be imagined.

In order to show his attention, Wang Chengen also came to the city gate early in the morning, this kind of sincerity, as the highest military general of Jinling City, Sui Wuyuan also attended.

But there was a little episode yesterday, in order to fight his son's grievances, Sui Wuyuan led his troops to Wang's house, saying that he wanted to arrest his son's murderer, hoping that Wang Chengen would hand over the people, but in the end he hit a wall, unhappy and resentful.

So Sui Wuyuan lied today that he was ill and it was inconvenient to come forward, in fact, he didn't believe that Wang Chengen could easily put down the menacing tide of displaced people before, and hide behind to secretly watch the joke!

Because Zhang Twelve had explained in advance, Lu Sanpi walked in the front, and had a cordial and friendly conversation with the prefect Wang Chengen as a representative of the displaced people, and then Lu Sanpi signaled everyone to be quiet and listened to Wang Chengen start to speak.

After saying that, he sent someone to carry a big iron box over, and then began to divide the money!

This is the picture that everyone is looking forward to, and when the money arrives, they finally believe that this prefect is not bad, and they call it good.

This matter is over, Wang Chengen means that it is not easy for everyone to wade through mountains and rivers to Jinling, and the hard work of five taels of silver is to talk about it, and everyone goes into the city to rest and play, and then make plans.

Only then did the army of displaced people officially enter the city and disperse

On the way, Wang Chengen once again thanked Lu Sanpi for his support and help this time, which flattered him.

When he heard that Wang Chengen had arranged for him to be an official officer, Lu Sanpi simply cried with joy.

In fact, speaking of which, the official position of this official is really not high.

According to the official structure of this era, in addition to the official servants, the remaining officials and officials in the composition of the entire imperial court all have official status, that is, what is often referred to as "regular workers", which is similar to the current "civil servants".

The rest of the "servants" have no official status, and it is difficult to say that they are regular workers, that is, temporary workers, which are often referred to nowadays.

The government service is also divided into "three classes", that is to say, the government is divided into "three classes".

The first is the soap class, which is mainly used as a guard of honor for the prefect or to scare and punish people on both sides when the case is being tried.

The second is the fast class, which is the kind of people we often call "catching fast", catching fast is not a profession, it is a collective name, and catching fast is all about catching criminals, solving cases, and collecting rent and taxes.

The third is the Zhuang class, which is a temporary gathering of migrant workers, who can assist in defending the city in case of emergency, etc.

But Lu Sanpi, the servant, Wang Chengen gave him a new form.

Because this time is equivalent to repaying the favor, so Lu Sanpi doesn't have to do the above, and he will follow Wang Chengen in the future, and be a bear-legged messenger in the prefect, brisk and not tired, and he can follow the prefect Wang Chengen every day, even if he has no official status, he is definitely a fat poor!

No wonder Lu Sanpi is so happy, now he is grateful to Wang Chengen, I'm afraid that no matter what Wang Chengen asks him to do, he will be in a mess

As for Zhang Twelve, he sneaked away after entering the city.

escorted Zhao Qingfeng into the carriage prepared by Wang Chengen in advance, and Du Lang and Lu San drove in the direction of Zhao's Grain Village.

Sitting in the carriage and closing his eyes, Zhang Twelve was not worried that Zhao Qingfeng would sneak away, but Zhao Qingfeng kept staring at him, very worried that he would let Zhang Twelve run away if he was not careful.

His idea is very simple, as long as he returns to the Zhao family, then Jinling will be his world, he has to watch these people who bully him, and let them know why the flowers are so red when the time comes!

The carriage soon came to the door of the Zhao family's grain farm, and the doorman saw two ugly men driving over, with many doubts on his face, and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Before the two of them could speak, Zhao Qingfeng couldn't wait to get out of the carriage.

"Young Master?"

"It's the young master! The young master is back! ”

Although Zhao Qingfeng is now embarrassed, his clothes are shabby and messy, his face is full of mud, and it is not enough to describe it as unkempt, if it weren't for the doorman's deep enough knowledge of Zhao Qingfeng, he might not be able to recognize him.

With the shouting of the doorman, the subordinates of the Zhao family also poured out of the mansion one after another, and shouted with the same joy after confirming that their young master had finally returned after a long absence.

Zhang Twelve also got out of the car, and naturally no one cared about the three of them.

Zhao Qingfeng was afraid that they would run away, so he hurriedly came to their side and urged them to enter the mansion.

So, Zhang Twelve, along with Zhao Qingfeng, were surrounded by many subordinates and entered the Zhao Mansion

Zhao Baiyu and Mrs. Zhao both heard the noise outside, and probably guessed something, Mrs. Zhao excitedly wanted to go out to greet her, but was stopped by Zhao Baiyu.

Therefore, when Zhao Qingfeng entered the door, he saw his parents sitting there at first sight.

"Daddy!"

After experiencing so many dangerous scenes, and even losing his life for a time, he finally returned to Zhao's house, and when he saw his parents, Zhao Qingfeng's feelings collapsed for a while, and he cried after shouting.

"My miserable son, but I have suffered a great sin!"

Mrs. Zhao couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran directly to paralyze Qingfeng, crying, and her voice of grief was moving.

Zhao Baiyu's eyes were also a little red, and he waved his hand to signal the people to help the mother and son down, Zhao Qingfeng also looked at Zhang Twelve and them a few times when he came out of the front hall, and stopped talking to Zhao Baiyu.

And Zhao Baiyu had already guessed his thoughts, nodded to him and said, "Qingfeng will accompany your mother down, Dad will make the decision for you!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingfeng slowly left, and before going out, he didn't forget to glance at Zhang Twelve viciously.

Under Zhao Baiyu's instructions, the subordinates also retreated, and only Zhao Baiyu and Zhang Twelve were left in the front hall.

"Boss Zhao, you are talking and sending Zhao Gongzi back, do you also use your words to reduce the price of all food?"

Zhang Twelve got straight to the point.

"Huh"

Zhao Baiyu first sneered, and then said with a cold look in his eyes: "Zhang Gongzi, the old man has always been good at talking, if you ask the old man to lower the price of grain, won't the old man lower it immediately?" ”

Zhang Twelve frowned, and said: "But you only sold a thousand catties a day before, for tens of thousands of ordinary people in Jinling and even in the south, it is like a drop in the bucket after Zhao Gongzi has been sent back, and I also ask Boss Zhao to keep his promise and lower the price of all food!" ”

Zhao Baiyu looked at Zhang Twelve like a fool, and said with a smile: "Zhang Gongzi, you must know that our Zhao Family Grain Village has not much grain in stock, b has sold thousands of catties at a low price in a few days, and the grain in stock is even smaller, so——"

"So you're going to raise the price of food back?"

Zhang Twelve asked with a sneer.

"Zhang Gongzi is really smart!"

Zhao Baiyu also had a smile on his face, but it was just ridicule.

"Boss Zhao, you've thought about it, are you sure you want to do this?"

Zhang Twelve squinted his eyes and said expressionlessly.

Zhao Baiyu was also not stunned, and nodded firmly.

"Are you really sure?"

Zhang Twelve smiled and repeated it again.

I can't say why, Zhao Baiyu always felt that the smile of the ugly man opposite was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and he was obviously smiling, but why did he feel a little scared?

But he still nodded again: "Of course the old man is sure!" ”

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Zhang Twelve got the answer, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he hugged his fists and said: "Since this is the case, then Boss Zhao should do it himself!" ”

After speaking, he didn't pause, turned around and left.

This made Zhao Baiyu a little stunned, he also thought that if he reversed his word, this man surnamed Zhang was afraid that he would be angry and thunderous, so he thought he would just leave

It's just that his last sentence "so self-sufficient" sounds a little crazy

Coming out of the Zhao family's grain village, the angry expression deliberately put on in the front hall of the Zhao family just now flashed away, and Sadai's was smiling.

Lu San and Du Lang were even more puzzled when they saw it.

The two of them also learned more or less through the words of Zhang Twelve and Zhao Qingfeng last night that Zhang Twelve took Zhao Qingfeng as a hostage and wanted to blackmail Zhao Baiyu to lower the price of grain.

Now Zhao Qingfeng was sent back, but Zhao Baiyu immediately broke the contract, the price of food rose again, and even the two of them were angry, why did the young master laugh?

So Du Lang asked puzzledly: "Young master, aren't you angry?" ”

"Angry? Why get angry? ”

Zhang Twelve replied with a smile.

"The young master obviously talked to the man surnamed Zhao about reducing the price of grain, and we sent Zhao Qingfeng back, but he went back on his word. Those displaced people have finally been appeased, and now that the price of food has risen again, they will definitely not be satisfied! ”

Listening to Lu San's words, Zhang Twelve laughed louder: "Hehe, that's what you want!" ”
