"Come on, go and invite the county magistrate Fang."

As soon as the words fell, the door opened, but Fang Jue entered with a smile: "Shihua, it's better for me to come early than to be coincidental, right?" ”

"County Magistrate Fang, please take a seat. On tea..."

After there were only two people left in the room again, Wang Shihua asked with a smile: "County Magistrate Fang, you have also seen it, there are many things today, so I won't go around the bend with you." Do you have any instructions for me? ”

"I don't dare to give instructions, I just want to borrow your exterminator team to use it."

"That's it?" It seems that the locusts outside are indeed choking enough, otherwise, Li Honghui would never have guessed that Fang Jue's trip was for the purpose of the extermination team.

"Of course... Shihua, you are really powerful, less than half of the fields in our Jiangyin County have been eaten by locusts, but you alone have become a paradise. To be honest, I am ashamed of this vision and ability. ”

"County Magistrate Fang, don't put a high hat on me, let's talk about it, what the hell is going on?"

"I really just want to borrow your exterminator." Saying that, County Magistrate Fang sighed and said, "Our county has been troubled by locusts, but there are still some places that have not been plagued by locusts. Alas~... Shihua, to put it mildly, I am not fighting with the locusts for food, but with them for leaves, I just hope that the people will have a mouth for leaves to eat in the coming year...... Shihua, I beg you for the people of the county, raise your noble hand~..."

"County Magistrate Fang, what is this doing? Please start... Hurry up..."Wang Shihua hurriedly picked up the county magistrate Fang who was about to kneel, thought about it, and shouted to the outside world: "Second dog, go and invite the eldest young master of the other three families, and tell me that I have something important to discuss." ”

After a few breaths, the three evil young men came together, and it was obvious that they had been waiting not far away since they went out. And this also reflects from the side how fierce the locust plague is outside.

"You all come for the same purpose, but I'm going to agree to this one first, and I'm sorry for the others, so I'll call you together to discuss." After a few people sat down, Wang Shihua said with a straight face: "You are all here for the extermination team, but there is only one extermination team in my family. But there are too many mothers-in-law, and there is only one daughter-in-law, you can tell yourself, what should I do? ”

Several people looked at each other speechlessly, and in the end, they still asked Dingtian: "Shihua, what should you do?" ”

"Let me ask first, what are the most violent places now?"

"There are three locusts that are the most ferocious, which are entrenched at the junction of me and the Li family, the east of the county seat, and the land of the Tian family. The least of these three locusts is no less than 500, and without your extermination team, we can't kill them in one fell swoop by our own ability. ”

"Okay, let's deal with these three locusts first." As he spoke, he shouted to the outside world: "Ergouzi, take the four treasures of the study, and then find two bowls." ”

A few minutes later, Wang Shihua put three pieces of paper folded into the bowl and smiled at everyone: "You are all my friends, and I don't know who to help first, so I can only come up with such a way to decide that the extermination team will deal with the locusts first in the order written on the signature." But let's talk about it first, you have seen me all the whole time, and I didn't move any hands and feet, it depends on everyone's luck. If you agree, draw lots, if you don't agree, then don't blame me Wang Shihua for not being a friend enough. Do you have any comments? ”

Everyone expressed no opinion.

"The ugly story is in front, my extermination team is led by Uncle Tiger, and there are 1,000 people. The rent is a piece of ocean per person a day, and you have to eat and live. Moreover, regardless of whether the locusts are exterminated or not, each family will stay for a maximum of five days. Do you have any comments? ”

After thinking about it, everyone could only reluctantly accept this blackmail...... The situation is urgent, not the time to argue about rent.

"Alright, let's get started." After speaking, he covered the bowl and shook it a few times, put the bowl down, cleaned up to everyone, and said with a smile: "Who will come first?" ”

This bet is too big, draw the first, naturally happy, but draw to the last, it is estimated that when the extermination team goes to his house, there will be nothing left.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, Fang Jue smiled and said: "The master of the Wang family can agree to this matter at this time, it is very good to be a friend, and there is no way to do this, it is better than us fighting." Ladies and gentlemen, stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, so don't hesitate, let's go to the lottery together, so as not to have an excuse for the later drawer. ”

After opening it, Fang Jue, Tian Jiafu, and the three of them reached out to grab the sign they fancied...... The one on the territory of Xiang and Li has the largest number of locusts, and it is located at the junction, so the two families can only send one representative.

"Huh... Ha... Two, conceded. Xiang Dingtian laughed and showed the big 'one' word on the paper to everyone.

Fang Jue smoked the second, Tian Jiafu sat down with a gloomy face, looked at this, aimed at that, but had nothing to say, only blamed himself for being too lucky.

"Dingtian, Hong Hui, the extermination team is in Lao Sicheng, why do you want it?"

"That's it." As he spoke, Xiang Dingtian took out five silver tickets and put them on the table.

"Ergouzi, go to the telegraph room to take a telegram to Lao Sicheng, tell Uncle Hu about the matter here, ask him to get ready, and when Dingtian and Hong Hui arrive, follow them to exterminate the locusts."

After the two dogs ran out, Xiang Dingtian and Li Honghui stood up without hesitation, hugged the three of them, and turned away.

comforted Fang Jue and Tian Jiafu again, and when the two left, Wang Shihua thought about it in the room, and called out: "Go and find Uncle Jiang and Shoucheng, and then invite Mayor Xue and Wang Sanye." ”

When the president of the Freemasons was elected last month, Mayor Xue helped Wang Shihua because before that, the two sides reached an intention: Shendao Town will control the circulation of grain, in exchange for the Wang family not blocking the road to Shendao Town.

Since Wang Guigui's incident came out, Wang Shihua immediately ordered to set up many checkpoints for Shendao Town by land, and the appearance of these tax cards has greatly dealt a blow to the economic prosperity and circulation of goods in Shendao Town. What's more, there is also the storage of the Flying Shark Village, and they are bitter about the robbery on the waterway, but there is nothing they can do about the Flying Shark Village. Among them, the hardest hit was the Wang family of Shendao Town. These days, whether by water or land, their business has almost completely stopped, and even those who do business with them dare not contact them, because once the Wang family finds out, the goods are not collected, and the people are seized. What's more, many people's anger did not dare to spread their anger on Wang Shihua, but they dared to come out to them, at least, they dared to provide news to Wang Shihua's tax soldiers in front of the Wang family of Shendao Town, making the Wang family of Shendao Town almost the target of public criticism. And Wang Ximing, the most important backer of the Wang family in Shendao Town, was unexpectedly hung up, under the blow of this triple pressure, the Wang family of Shendao Town couldn't bow their heads if they didn't want to, so they had to take the initiative to come to the door to tell the soft.

Fortunately, everyone knows that Wang Shihua now attaches great importance to food, and Shendao Town, as a large-scale transfer station for land and water transportation, naturally has a unique advantage in terms of food. Today, they are here to talk to Wang Shihua about the details and finalization...... Originally, it was going to be discussed after the meeting on May 19, but it was only the assassination of Wang Shihua that night that the matter dragged on until now.

Roughly told Uncle Jiang and his son about the matter, and just when they were thinking about how to talk about it later, Xue Chengye and Wang Sanye came.

After talking for more than two hours, the content is unknown, but the next day, Wang Shihua had ten more shops in Shendao Town, and there was no need to pay taxes when using the two wharves in Shendao Town, and from this moment on, the grain merchants in Shendao Town were given a stern warning: in order to agree to allocate grain to cope with the year of famine, all grains exceeding 100 catties at a time were allowed to be approved by the mayor, otherwise, they would be confiscated and fined according to the crime of hoarding...... This confiscation and fine, the executor outside the town is Wang Shihua's person. To put it bluntly, you can sell grain, but there is only one legal buyer, Wang Shihua. And the fleet of the Wang family in Shendao Town will do its best to transport grain to Wang Shihua......

In exchange, Wang Shihua canceled the extra tax cards set up outside Shendao Town, and was not allowed to pursue Wang Guigui's affairs, of course, the most important one is: Wang Shihua promised not to send troops into Shendao Town. It is this article that gives Mayor Xue and Wang Sanye the strength and confidence to implement, and it is precisely this article that Wang Shihua does not pay attention to, because from the very beginning, he has never forgotten the prosperity of Shendao Town, how can it really be implemented? It's just that the time has not come.

After these general talks were completed, there were some small details left, and Wang Shihua didn't want to participate, so he handed them over to the four of them to continue the in-depth and detailed discussions. On the grounds that he wanted to enter the cave room, he took his leave.

But as soon as he went out, other things came to his door: the expansion of the school had been negotiated, and Huang Yaping came to urge the procurement of materials and the recruitment of craftsmen; The people sent by the Xiao family represented all the grain merchants who could not meet Wang Shihua because of their status and asked if they could form an alliance in order to make a fortune together; People from Sichuan and Zhaojiazhai came to ask: Is it possible to exchange tung oil for grain next time......

Busy until late at night, sending away the last group of people who came to 'congratulate', Wang Shihua stretched his waist, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Being an official is not free, freedom is not an official... I know this very well. Alas~..."

"The head of the family, the third lady asked me to bring you sour plum soup to sober up. I deliberately added some extra ice and sugar, and you can drink it while it's cold. ”

Seeing Wu's mother put down the bowl with a smile, Wang Shihua sighed in his heart: Gotta ... This is again urging to enter the cave room early.

"Mother Wu, have you chosen the personal maid arranged for the third lady?" After drinking the sour plum soup, Wang Shihua asked with a smile.

Mother Wu waved outward, pointed to a maid, and said with a smile: "It's chosen, it's her, Xiaojing." ”

"Slave Xiaojing pays a visit to the master and greets the master."

"Xiaojing, well... Good name. In the future, I will serve the third lady well, I ......"

At this moment, he saw the second dog come in, and handed the prayer post and a letter to Wang Shihua and said, "The head of the family, someone sent a worship post." ”

When Wang Shihua took the post and opened it, Ergouzi specially added: "They sent a congratulatory gift of a thousand oceans and a letter from Zhaojiazhai." The head of the house, I think they look like characters in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh~... Please come in. As soon as he heard that it was a character in the rivers and lakes, Wang Shihua smiled......
