Chapter 422: Two Little Foxes Fight Their Wits (Part II)

"Not bad!" Fang Jue drank the tea in the teacup, looked at Wang Shihua with a smile while pouring water for himself, and said, "The Baojing Regiment can indeed supply on the spot, and moreover, the supply places have been drawn for you, which is the current territory of your Wang family."

For Fang Jue: This is equivalent to eliminating the huge expense and implementing the big problem of local supply, which is indeed worth rejoicing. Moreover, he can also ask his father to help and directly secretly bring over the military salaries, weapons and ammunition that should be supplied to the Baojing Regiment, which can not only greatly alleviate the financial crisis of the county government, but also provide more equipment for the county security regiment. More important things, this kind of thing, unless Wang Shihua sent someone to the provincial government to spend a lot of money to inquire, otherwise, it is impossible to know. And how could Wang Shihua send someone to the provincial government to inquire about this matter for no reason, so he was very excited about this windfall.

As far as Wang Shihua is concerned, he has long been prepared for both the above appropriation and local supply, and now when he hears this, he can't be disappointed. Because with Wang Shihua's temperament of 'as long as my Wang family is better, the life and death of others are my business', when the time comes, if he wants to provoke a war, he can confidently go to other people's territory in the name of supplies to 'expropriate and expropriate'. For example, in order to get medicines, he could send someone to copy the county people's hospital in the name of 'wartime management and priority supply to the army'...... Although this excuse is rather nonsense and is a typical excuse for having nothing to do, this excuse is really strong at least on the surface. What's more critical is that in the end, the blame can be pushed to the government, or to the county magistrate -- you asked me to supply on the spot, and I will supply on the spot. To put it bluntly, it means that he indirectly grasps the initiative to start a war or make trouble for others and an excuse that is so powerful that it makes people vomit blood.

Therefore, this confrontation between the two can only be regarded as half a catty against eight taels - a tie!

Looking at Wang Shihua's dejected appearance, Fang Jue was very happy in his heart.

Then, I saw Wang Shihua stretch out his right hand again, and deliberately made a move to rub the money.

Fang Jue smiled confidently, but he deliberately pretended to be unclear and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Military spending!"

"I've told you everything, supply on the spot, where is the military spending?"

"Weasel, don't think that I don't know the doorway here if I haven't been a soldier, there are real soldiers below me...... Regardless of whether it is on-site supply or appropriation from above in the future, this is the first time, whether the above will give a start-up military ...... Scold! Scold! You don't need me to talk about it, do you? ”

Fang Jue thought about it, probably thinking that since Wang Shihua knew this rule, if he didn't admit it, he would be stingy, and it would be easy to really anger Wang Shihua, so he nodded generously and admitted, and said: "There is indeed this military expense, and I have already received it, but this military expenditure will have to wait until I receive the last amount of food before I can pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other." ”

It is normal for him to guard against his own deception. Wang Shihua nodded and asked the key point: "Give me the list." ”

Fang Jue smiled extremely strangely, but he smiled and said nothing. Let Wang Shihua immediately understand: I don't want to get the list at all: the list is given to you, so that you know the specific number, how can he play?

"If you don't give, you won't give." Wang Shihua smiled coldly: "But don't blame me for not reminding you, if you dare to swallow my military expenses, I promise to personally bring people to snatch the food back, not to mention, and let the people of the whole county come to your house to beg for food......"

Saying that, Wang Shihua specially reminded: "I heard clearly, it is the people of the county, not the victims of the county." If you dare to reach out and take a big ocean from the military expenses, I will send a hundred more people to your house for dinner, ten yuan I will send a thousand, if it is a hundred, hey! Hey! Weasel, you'd better hurry up and buy food with the military expenses of my Baojing regiment, otherwise, I'm afraid your wife will be swallowed alive by the hungry people. ”

This is Wang Shihua's brazenness: there is also a saying in the rivers and lakes that 'disaster does not affect the family', but he is good and directly threatens the other party's family.

How could Fang Jue be so easy to suffer? Immediately leaned over a little, sneered and said in a low voice: "Wang Papi, you also listen to me, if you don't take over the matter of rescuing the victims after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will just fight this official inappropriately, and I guarantee that a large army will come to exterminate your Wang family." When the time comes, the blood of your Wang family will be spilled into a river, and there will be no chickens and dogs left, but don't blame me for not telling the ugly words in front. ”

The two stared at each other with glittering eyes, and after standing for a moment, a smile appeared on both of their faces, and then they laughed......

"County Magistrate Fang, drink tea! Please drink tea! ”

"Master Wang, please!" After taking a sip of tea, Fang Jue also sighed: "Your tea is really good, when you leave, bring me some?" ”

"Do you still need to open your mouth for this little thing? I'll definitely bring you two pounds. ”

The two cooperated with each other to kill the tension just now, calmed down by the way, and after preparing for the next negotiation, Wang Shihua made a move. Tentatively asked: "County Magistrate Fang, according to our agreement, on January 1, the 38th year of the solar calendar, I should send someone to take over the tax revenue of the county, you won't play tricks on me, right?" Also, on the 21st of this month, I will send someone to the county seat to make preparations before taking over, and when the time comes, you won't let those tax collectors collectively ask for leave or disappear, right? ”

"I feel a spit and a nail! If I don't agree, no one can force me, but since I agree, I will definitely do it, and you can rest assured of this. After giving the assurance again, Fang Jue also fought back tentatively, saying, "But, Wang Family Master, the grain you promised me won't be cooked and then dried for me at that time, right?" ”

"If I want to regret it, can I afford to be in such trouble?" Having said that, Wang Shihua's heart moved: this hand, he really didn't expect it, now, this is not a bad way for Fang Jue, although it is relatively inferior.

The two looked at each other and laughed and drank tea.

"Wang Papi, you are too stingy, do you want the guest to remind you that it is time to invite the guest to breakfast?"

"I told you why you come to make me doze off every time before dawn, because it was to mix a meal? I'm talking about weasels, you're too picky, aren't you? Having said that, Wang Shihua immediately ordered someone to get a table of wine.

After saying this, the atmosphere of-for-tat just now changed to nothing, and the atmosphere came alive again - even the other party's nickname was called, and it was obvious that both of them intended to liven up the atmosphere.

Soon, a sumptuous banquet was served.

"Wang Papi, you have a really good life. The disaster is in full swing outside, and the victims are hungry, but you have a big fish and meat here, tsk! Tut! No wonder everyone calls you Wang Papi...... I think you should be called Wang Sanchi - Jiangyin County has your existence, and the sky is three feet high! This is very ironic, but the problem is that when Fang Jue said this vaguely, he held a chicken leg in each hand, started work left and right, and ate happily.

"Weasel, can you change your nature? Don't drool at the sight of an old hen. ”

Fang Jue glared at him angrily, busy gnawing on chicken legs, and couldn't take care of him for the time being. Wang Shihua didn't fight back, and ate gently.

As far as the appearance of the two is concerned, it is really the difference between heaven and earth, but the more Wang Shihua looks at it, the more it is not a taste - the head of a county doesn't even want face, and he actually holds a roast chicken at the banquet and gnaws it, which has to be a fierce starving ghost reincarnation to do.

Wang Shihua's admiration for the other county magistrate rose again.

"County Magistrate Fang, slow down, no one will rob you." As he spoke, the other county magistrate raised his glass.

Fang Jue put down the roast chicken, picked up the handkerchief on the dining table and wiped it, raised the wine glass and touched it with Wang Shihua, and drank it all.

"Uh~!" After a long burp, Fang Jue touched his chest, then stood up and untied his coat, put it away, and while sitting down, he unbuttoned his collar, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the half-gnawed roast chicken, and smiled at Wang Shihua: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, except for a few meals of meat mixed with you, I haven't known the taste of meat for more than a month." ”

Wang Shihua nodded solemnly, looked at him respectfully, and wanted to ask: Even if you don't accept gifts, why don't you buy some yourself? But come to think of it, does this need to be answered? For the sake of the victims, the county magistrate Fang even took out his wife's dowry, not to mention the salary.

"You also know that I don't have a good relationship with the other families, so every time I want to eat meat, I have to run to you to fight the autumn breeze."

"Then why don't you bring your sister-in-law with you?"

Fang Jue was stunned, chewed a few times, and swallowed his mouth full of chicken, if Wang Shihua hadn't happened to pour him a glass of wine, otherwise, he would have choked.

"You don't say I almost forgot." Fang Jue poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "The locust plague has passed, and your Wang family can't raise so many chickens and ducks, and you can't finish eating them for a while, how about giving me some?" ”

After speaking, Wang Shihua shook his head, and Fang Jue said hurriedly: "Wang Shihua, putting aside our respective identities, in private, our relationship is not bad, right?" It's rare for me to ask you for a favor, and you're embarrassed to refuse? ”

"Do you owe me less?" Wang Shihua glanced at him, took a sip of wine, and said, "If my sister-in-law wants to eat, I can pay out of my pocket." But the problem is, once you open your golden mouth, you need at least a thousand chickens, right? How can I raise chickens at home, I can only ask the people, but those chickens and ducks are raised by the people, even if you can't eat them, you can keep them to lay eggs...... You and I are like you, can you eat and drink for nothing? ”

Not to mention that Fang Jue really pretended to be the people in his heart, as soon as he heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "You are right, just now I was in a hurry, I didn't choose what to say, and forgive my sins." ”

As he spoke, he took out a box from his arms, put it on the table, handed it to Wang Shihua, smiled a little proudly, and said, "Fortunately, I was quick last time, and these two jade bracelets were not snatched away by you." Now, I'm going to trade it, right? ”

Wang Shihua was shocked: the ancients said that the blue sky was the master of the people, and today, he finally saw the living.

Instead of taking the box, he asked in a straight way, "How much do you need?" ”

"I don't know how much I can change, but the more the better." Perhaps because he was afraid that Wang Shihua would refuse, or in order to get more, Fang Jue said sensationally: "To tell you the truth, the people drink gruel mixed with a lot of wild vegetables every day, and they are only hungry with skin and bones, and there is no oil and water in their stomachs, and they are panting when they walk...... Shihua, I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, I want to exchange two bracelets with you for two batches of chickens, ducks or fat pigs. The first batch is that I want the victims who have not eaten meat for more than half a year to remember the taste of meat, and the second group wants to let the victims have a bite to eat during the Chinese New Year, which is considered the New Year, and also expresses my shame on them...... It is our incompetence that we have watched the people suffer but are powerless. Ay~! ”

Don't be fooled, don't be soft-hearted by his performance, you are the head of the family, you have to think about the family, and you have to be hard-hearted when you should be ruthless...... There was a voice in his head warning Wang Shihua, but another voice was persuading......
