Chapter 295: News of the Anti-Japanese War Arrives
A county magistrate actually dared to ask for a ticket for the position of vice governor for a town mayor, although everyone knew that this was just a name, but from Fang Jue's confident words, Fang Jue's family background could be seen, and it could also be seen that Fang Jue was dedicated to the people.
It's just that...... Ay~... If this bargaining chip is laid out before Uncle Jiang appears, Wang Shihua may still be interested, and at least he will fight for it implicitly: "Am I in charge?" But now, Wang Shihua's heart is full of the tax power of the county, not to mention the nominal vice governor, that is, the nominal governor, in his opinion, there is no real tax power of the county. Unless he is directly made a governor with real power, but is that possible?
Wang Shihua smiled, smiling very happily; Fang Jue also smiled, but the smile was a little shy, his eyes were unpredictable, but his heart began to sink into the abyss in Wang Shihua's smile.
"County Magistrate Fang, Uncle Jiang has worked hard for my Wang family all his life, and now he is an honorary member of my Wang family."
Fang Jue was very strange why Wang Shihua suddenly said this, but he could only look at Wang Shihua, and then look at Uncle Jiang who hugged Wang Shihua and expressed his gratitude.
"I dare to assure you with my head that the content of today's conversation here will never be passed out, and everyone is better to get straight to the point."
Only then did Fang Jue understand that Wang Shihua's next sentence must be the key.
Nodding, expecting, and even praying that it would not be what I guessed.
Unfortunately, the gods did not hear his prayers, and Wang Shihua's next words confirmed his suspicions.
"It's a great thing that you want to get food to help the victims, and although I want to do the same, as the head of the Wang family, I must think about the Wang family. I believe you can understand this. ”
Seeing that the county magistrate nodded, Wang Shihua said with a straight face: "If you want me to take out the grain, you have to buy it with money, or mortgage it with something." But the government has no money, but there is something to pledge. I said bluntly: The tax rights of Shendao Town or the county seat for three years, in exchange for 300,000 catties of grain, you can choose one. ”
Seeing that Fang Jue's eyes instantly deepened, Wang Shihua sat up straight with great momentum, looked at him with bright eyes, and said solemnly: "If you feel embarrassed, I won't embarrass you." If you don't buy and sell, you are still friends. ”
As soon as the words fell, Fang Jue raised his head suddenly, looked at Wang Shihua with sharp eyes, and saw that Wang Shihua did not shy away, he stood up and walked out.
Just when Wang Shihua felt that things were going to be yellow, Fang Jue, who had already crossed the threshold with one foot, stopped, turned around and said lukewarmly: "Let me think about it." ”
Wang Shihua is overjoyed...
"Give you three days, and after three days, you won't talk about it."
"Five days..."
"Okay..."
Fang Jue didn't say anything and left directly.
Wang Shihua didn't be polite to him, he didn't even send it, but joked with a smile: "This county magistrate Fang is really small-minded, it's all at this time, and he still wants to bargain with me, thinking that I can't see that he came to the door to let me change my words, so as to take the opportunity to bargain." ”
Uncle Jiang naturally patted his ass very well: "Heh... Scold... The head of the house, Shengming. However, looking at the posture and tone of the county magistrate just now, the head of the family, these five days are a critical period, and we must take precautions to avoid falling short. ”
"It's nature. But now I have another urgent matter to deal with, and we'll talk about it when that's done. After speaking, he shouted to the outside world: "Two dogs." ”
"In..."
"You go and invite Huang Yaping in person, hurry up."
"Yes..."
"Wait a minute." Seeing the second dog turn around, Wang Shihua said with a straight face: "Just like usual, don't arouse the suspicion of others." After a pause, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's just say that I got a copy of the "Guanghan Anthology", and ask Mr. Huang to come over and help confirm the authenticity." ”
"The little one knows what to do."
After the two dogs went out, Wang Shihua picked up the teacup and saluted Uncle Jiang, and after taking a sip of tea, he saw that Uncle Jiang had seen it, but he didn't open his mouth, Wang Shihua sighed in his heart: In the end, he is an old man, not only easy to use but also calm, knowing that there is a difference between respect and inferiority...... Obviously curious, but he couldn't help but ask. If you were younger, I'm afraid you would have spoken a long time ago.
As the former chief housekeeper and the current military advisor, Uncle Jiang naturally knows Huang Yaping's true identity.
Wang Shihua unreservedly talked about the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the unanimous resistance to Japan, and after pondering for a while, Uncle Jiang asked, "Master of the family, what are you going to do?" ”
"I also just got the news, and I haven't come up with a clue for a while. No, bring Huang Yaping here, listen to what he has to say, and then take a step at a time. ”
Uncle Jiang nodded, and looked around after the year.
Wang Shihua smiled bitterly, got up and took out the "Guanghan Anthology" from the bookshelf, and handed it to Uncle Jiang.
If Uncle Jiang got a treasure, he immediately flipped through it, and shook his head and chanted softly from time to time.
More than half an hour later, Huang Yaping, who was dressed in a cyan robe, ran in, and when he saw Wang Shihua, he hurriedly said: "Where is the Wanli version of the "Guanghan Anthology"? Let me see. ”
As soon as Wang Shihua pointed at Uncle Jiang, Huang Yaping immediately rushed over, and Uncle Jiang hurriedly hid the book behind him. Huang Yaping, who was in a hurry, stomped his feet and shouted, "Let me take a look, just a look." ”
"I think it's beautiful..."Uncle Jiang looked at Huang Yaping with a stingy face, and scolded: "Just like you sweating profusely, how can you get my baby wet?" ”
"Your darling?"
"yes... The head of the family just rewarded me with the "Guanghan Anthology". ”
Huang Yaping directly rubbed his hands with his sleeves and said urgently: "How much does it cost?" You make an offer..."
At this time, Uncle Jiang and Huang Yaping have become nerds, for the treasure in their eyes, like two roosters looking at each other, their eyes are sharp and shining, and they are desperate if they don't agree with each other.
"Phew... A few stinky dung just want to exchange my treasure, look at your beauty. Sue you, selling sons and daughters is not selling treasures..."
"Okay, okay, Uncle Jiang, Mr. Huang, as the old saying goes, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy... Since both of you are book lovers, why not study this book together, and discuss and exchange their experiences with this book, so that wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.
Wang Shihua personally poured a cup of tea for Huang Yaping, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, please sit down, take a sip of tea first." ”
Huang Yaping took the tea, thanked him, drank a few sips, took the initiative to add water, and said with a smile: "I was excited as soon as I heard that it was "Guanghan Anthology", and I ran in a hurry, which made the two of you laugh...... By the way, master, is there something wrong with you being in such a hurry to find me? ”
"There's good news. Do you know that on July 7, your Communist Party and the Kuomintang joined forces in order to unite with the outside world and unite against Japan? ”
"What's the matter? Is there such a thing? Huang Yaping stood up in surprise, looked at Wang Shihua in astonishment, then looked at Uncle Jiang, and asked with some uncertainty: "Family master, such a big thing is never a joke." Where did you get this from? ”
Wang Shihua naturally told him the news revealed by Fang Jue.
As soon as he heard that the government would put up a notice, Huang Yaping concluded that it was true. Immediately fell into a huge mixture of joy and sorrow, rubbed his hands, and wandered in the study.
Think about it: The life of the guerrillas in Jiangyin County has been really difficult in the past few years, and although they have had the covert support of the Wang family for more than two years, their lives have been much better, but they are still worried and hard. Some of the guerrillas knew that their relatives were at the bottom of the mountain, but they could not go down the mountain, and they had not seen each other for several years. Now that I can do the fair and honest activities, I don't have to go back to the old days, and my heart is naturally full of joy; But when I think about the comrades who died at the hands of the Kuomintang in the past, I feel sad again: How can we explain to those comrades who died at the hands of the Kuomintang? At this time, due to the extreme closure of the news, they did not know the wolf ambition and ferocious energy of the Japanese devils, and it was even more impossible for them to predict what a profound disaster they would cause to the land of China, so they did not understand this idea.
Huang Yaping lingered for a long time, suddenly stopped, hugged his fist at Wang Shihua and said: "Family master, this news is too shocking, I know what you want to ask, but I am very confused in my heart now, the six gods have no master, and I can't answer at all." In this way, I will go up to the mountain, and when I come down, I am sure that I will answer all your questions. ”
Seeing Wang Shihua nodding, Huang Yaping nodded to Uncle Jiang again, turned around and walked away quickly, even forgetting to ask about the "Guanghan Anthology", which shows that his heart is really chaotic.
Wang Shihua began to discuss with Uncle Jiang the details of how to prepare for the past five days and how to force Fang Jue to agree.
The specific situation is unknown, but in the afternoon of the same day, two very attractive news circulated among the displaced people in Longtang Town: first, in order to relieve more people, the head of the Wang family was compassionate and would open a warehouse in the county to sell grain at a low price; Second, some people say that some wealthy families in the county town, driven by the head of the Wang family, will set up porridge sheds in the county seat to relieve the people and let everyone go to the county seat to beg for food.
The first piece of news made the people active, but the grain merchants began to complain. As the largest grain merchant this time, the attitude of the Wang family will determine the level of grain prices. Although this news was not personally acknowledged by Wang Shihua, this news alone reduced the price of grain that day from nine cents to eight cents...... If Wang Shihua admits it personally, the price will drop sharply, and when the Wang family really starts selling grain, I'm afraid the grain merchants will have to jump off the building. So, from this day on, the grain merchants not only asked people to inquire about the specific situation with the Wang family, but also had to be prepared to deal with it, so that the people of the Wang family made a small fortune. That is, from the moment this news came out, the grain price war in Jiangyin County was launched. To be precise, Wang Shihua really manipulated the time when grain prices in Jiangyin County and its surrounding counties were ...... It's here. There are no rivals, some are just self-supremacy in terms of food prices.
And when Fang Jue received these two pieces of news, he didn't understand that this was Wang Shihua's secret persecution, but he only had a bitter smile left. Every time he sees the miserable appearance of the victims in the county every day, and then looks at the Wang family, whether it is selling grain or setting up porridge to relieve the victims, it is only two hours a day, and every time he looks at it, his blood pressure will increase by one point.
In the face of this miserable situation, Fang Jue's deep heart to protect the people without hesitating to do anything was easily hooked.
It can be said that Wang Shihua's use of grain as a weapon not only in the economy, but also in the layout of the entire Jiangyin County, began to make waves. Fang Jue, who had been led by Wang Shihua's nose, inevitably made a move......
