"Everyone... Everybody... Please be quiet, please listen to me. ”

Wang Shihua is now the chief general of the four major families, and he naturally does not need to be involved in these pioneering things. Glancing at the task of the grain allocated on his paper, he shook his head with a sneer, and glanced at Li Honghui on the right.

Li Honghui, who was afraid that there would not be enough chaos and that everyone could not fish in troubled waters, immediately stood up and asked everyone to be quiet.

When everyone quieted down, Li Honghui said coldly: "County Magistrate Fang, you are really ruthless, my Li family has a total of about 20,000 people, and there are less than 5,000 households, but you want my Li family to give 300,000 catties of grain, and the average apportionment of each household is sixty or seventy catties." You and my Li family are all immortals, so you don't have to eat? ”

"Me too." Tian Jiafu waved the paper in his hand and shouted with a cold face: "My Tian family is less than 20,000 people, and there are 4,000 households, but they have to pay 200,000 catties of grain, and the same is true for each household on average. What's the matter, when my Tian family is easy to bully? ”

After this reminder, everyone immediately scrambled for paper. At first glance, he was extremely angry: this is a one-size-fits-all ah... Not to mention how much the rich have to pay, anyway, it will be sixty or seventy catties per capita.

Some people scolded Fang Jue for being vicious, and wanted to take the opportunity to loot the people's fat and ointment, fake public fat and private interests; Some people cried and threatened not to live, so that Fang Jue would shoot him now; Some directly shredded the paper, or even crumpled it into a ball and threw it back......

In this fiery uproar, Wang Shihua almost made a fuss and stood up.

What is certain that everyone is acting is: Wang Shihua stood up this time, and everyone actually shut up...... Wang Shihua is the big one, and everyone sees what he does.

"Everyone, don't make trouble, your little bit of food is counted, the average is only sixty or seventy catties." Wang Shihua raised the paper in his hand with a smile, and said to the other party: "Look at the task that the county magistrate Fang gave me to the Wang family, hey... Hey... My Wang family has about 10,000 people, 3,000 households, but they have to pay 500,000 catties of grain, and on average, each household is more than 100 catties. Compared to my family, you guys are also called a problem? ”

As he spoke, Wang Shihua directly crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it at Fang Jue, and shouted, "Do you think my Wang family deserves to starve to death?" ”

Others threw paper balls, but they all had spare strength, and they didn't dare to really throw them on the head of County Magistrate Fang, but Wang Shihua directly aimed the paper ball at Fang Jue's head. If Fang Jue hadn't seen the opportunity to hide quickly, he would definitely have been able to hit it.

And in this way, in order to prevent everyone from following the same example and making himself unable to get off the stage, Fang Jue could not be a mud bodhisattva and had to speak.

"Master Wang, your family has hoarded millions of catties of grain and taken out 500,000 catties, which is not much~..."

"Don't talk about millions of catties of grain, it is tens of millions of catties of grain, which I Wang Shihua bought with money and seriousness."

Fang Jue was also forced to be anxious, and couldn't help but reply: "Master Wang, your behavior like this belongs to 'hoarding', which is not allowed by the laws of the Republic of China. ”

I thought that such a half-threat and half-reminder could suppress Wang Shihua's arrogance, but I didn't expect it, but it caused Wang Shihua to be even more angry: "County Magistrate Fang, don't think that I haven't studied law, but I know that 'hoarding' refers to the time when a famine occurs, unscrupulous businessmen deliberately raise prices and hoard goods in demand." But I bought it before the famine, and it was my vision, my courage, my economic strength, my normal business behavior, and it was protected by government laws, and it definitely couldn't be counted in the category of 'hoarding'. ”

"That is, if people have the guts to gamble, don't they allow others to win?"

"yes... If the head of the Wang family wins the bet, you will be red-eyed, and the question is, who is he going to bet and lose? County Magistrate Fang, will you compensate him for his losses when the time comes? ”

Li Honghui and Xiang Dingtian immediately helped and questioned Fang Jue. Although everyone knows that this is a loophole in the law, who would be stupid enough to expose it? The desperate effort to force the county magistrate to change these two decrees is the first thing.

Fang Jue was speechless when asked, so he could only sit there sulking.

"Everyone, you can't blame the county magistrate for this, it's an order issued from above, and we're just carrying it out." Director Peng hurriedly relieved the siege for County Magistrate Fang, but unexpectedly, Xiang Dingtian stood up, pointed at Director Peng and said angrily: "These two decrees are not in line with the law, but also against the people's feelings. I'm sorry for such a ridiculous decree, but I will never carry it out to my family. ”

"My Li family doesn't accept it either."

"My Tian family will not execute it either."

At the moment of this noise, the gate was opened, but a sergeant was seen carrying a gun and waving a piece of paper and running to the side of the county magistrate.

County Magistrate Fang took the paper, looked at it, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Everyone, I just received the news: locusts have appeared in Rape Flower Village, and after calculation, it is a moderate locust plague. ”

Everyone's hearts sank, causing a brief silence in the room.

I don't know if it was agreed by everyone, or if it was a coincidence, in the next five minutes, there were three news connections, and there were locust plagues in two more places, and they were all medium-level.

But when the third news appeared, it caused a great controversy: there was a locust gathering in Jiutou Village on the edge of Wang's territory, but it was a small-level locust plague.

Everyone was stunned, but Wang Shihua stood up with a smile and said, "Everyone, it seems that my Wang family has been blessed by God, hey... Hey..."

"Master Wang, could it be that the news is wrong? Or is it a special case? ”

"County Magistrate Fang, this ......"

At this time, the gate was opened again, and the fourth news appeared, or there was a locust gathering in the territory of the Wang family, which was also a small-level locust plague.

Wang Shihua looked up to the sky and laughed: "Ha... Ha... God bless my royal family..."

Everyone immediately discussed: some said that the Wang family might have really been blessed by God, and some said that it must have been Wang Shihua's tricks and feet to deliver false news to deceive everyone, in order to know the panic and obtain greater profits.

"Shihua, it's time for this, don't hide it. Tell me, what's going on? ”

Hearing Xiang Dingtian's question, Wang Shihua glanced at the audience and said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, my Wang family has more than 100,000 chickens and ducks, and they eat locust eggs back and forth all over the mountains. ”

Everyone was relieved and depressed. But the question is, this is also Wang Shihua's personal vision, in addition to sighing at yourself, do you still have the face to accuse others of not reminding you?

"Shihua, ...... you" Li Honghui's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something, but he was touched by Wang Shihua's leg, and seeing Wang Shihua sweeping his eyes, Li Honghui didn't know that this was a reminder to transfer firepower. Immediately swallowed what he wanted to ask, his voice changed, and he said with a smile: "Shihua, your vision and ability, brother, I have nothing to say except for my sincere admiration." ”

Then the other county magistrate said: "County magistrate Fang, the outside is urgent, and we don't need to talk about it anymore." Just one thing: I wonder if you'll change your mind? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood: yes... It's useless to say anything, the key is that those two decrees are fatal, and they must be changed...... To put it bluntly, the life and death of the people outside is my business, the key is whether my family can be good?

After all, because of the bumper harvest for three consecutive years, the people still have some surplus grain, and there is still no problem to support it for a few months or even early next year, and the most nervous is the spring and summer of next year. Therefore, Wang Shihua does not plan to be too persecutive.

Seeing that everyone was making a lot of noise, Wang Shihua became more and more upset the more he looked at it, and got up and shouted, "Everyone, there is no need to argue. ”

Seeing that everyone was quickly quiet, Wang Shihua said to Fang Juezhengse: "County Magistrate Fang, the main issues today are two points, let's talk about the first point first: whether this notice is announced by the county government or by the townships and counties. On this issue, I support the latter. ”

This is of course: if the people are not persecuted by these people, how can they be willing to be displaced, and how can they be willing to come to the king's house? If they don't leave their hometowns, where will the people of the Wang family go to find them? On the other hand, this must be a temptation by Fang Jue, who led everyone to oppose and blocked his move, not only winning benefits for everyone, but also winning everyone's favor and actual benefits for himself.

"If you insist, then I have to suspect that you are faking public affairs. I had to join everyone and write a joint letter on behalf of more than 200,000 people in the county. ”

"Yes... The same attitude is true for the three of us. ”

As soon as everyone saw that the four major families were persecuted at the same time, they also expressed their support.

Fang Jue stood up helplessly in front of everyone, and said: "The will of the people cannot be violated, since everyone insists on it, okay, you can first sort out a list and report it to me, and then I will fight for it from above." ”

As soon as the words fell, he immediately received the largest and longest applause since the meeting: although he knew that Fang Jue's words were more than enough to advance and retreat, it might make him take a step back, which was already everyone's success.

"The second point is the question of food." Wang Shihua looked at everyone, and said to Fang Jue: "Although everyone here has surplus food at home, it is not much, but you can't watch the people starve to death. Since I want to pay food to help the people, then I will first express my attitude: My Wang family has purchased some food this time, which looks like a lot, but it will not be much if it is distributed to each Wang family. Therefore, my Wang family is willing to take out 30,000 catties of grain for relief to the victims. ”

Fang Jue heard a toothache, but thinking about Wang Shihua's promise to donate 200,000 catties of grain to him personally in exchange for 50,000 household registration, he couldn't say it in public.

You donate 30,000 catties of millions of catties of grain? The shocked crowd rejoiced for a while: The Wang family, as the largest grain household this time, is only willing to donate so much, doesn't it mean that Lao Tzu can donate less? But for Wang Shihua: Why does Lao Tzu want me to donate the most of the grain he bought with money? Unless everyone becomes my royal family.

Everyone didn't come back to their senses, and stood up to Dingtian to say: "I don't want to see the people suffer, but I have more than enough heart and strength, so I can only donate 30,000 catties of grain to express my gratitude, and ask the county magistrate to apologize to the people on my behalf." ”

With these two statements, everyone naturally knows what to do, your family pledged a few thousand catties, and my family pledged a thousand catties. In the end, one person actually only donated 200 catties, and was ridiculed by everyone for a while, so he reluctantly pledged 1,000 catties.

Fang Jue was commanded by Wang Shihua, and he didn't even have time to speak against it. In fact, it was up to him whether he objected or not, so he just glanced at Wang Shihua quickly, and when he saw Wang Shihua nodding slightly with a smile, he also had a number in his heart, after all, Wang Shihua wanted the 50,000 household registration, and he had to discuss with him. Everyone has time to play slowly.

The four evildoers smiled, but they sneered again and again, because they all knew that the pledge was only the first wave now, and when the critical moment came, those tax soldiers would never be just decorations, and they would definitely be worthy of their notoriety of 'collecting taxes like tigers and wolves'...... And the most important thing in this is that the little strength of the county magistrate Fang has no way to deal with them, but with the ruthlessness of the county magistrate, it is more than enough to deal with most of the people here.
