Chapter 091 Opening the warehouse and releasing grain
Feng Jingchu has lived for most of his life, and he is old and refined, of course he refuses to give in easily, but he is really scared in his heart, and his mouth is only vague, but he can start to talk to Zhuo Shijie. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhuo Shijie was annoyed in his heart, and threw out another trick.
He also gossiped with Feng Jingchu in a homely tone, and pulled out that he had a drink with the governor a few days ago and talked about national affairs.
Feng Jingchu was shocked when she heard it, what? Lord Governor!
This person has a noble appearance all over his body, and he really has a great background!
Lord Governor, what kind of character is that, this person only needs to mention it casually to Lord Governor, wouldn't he Feng Jingchu finish playing with the whole family?
Feng Jingchu was scared out of sweat by Zhuo Shijie just now, and at this time, he moved out of the governor's house, and he suddenly panicked, where did he dare to verify the authenticity.
"Mr. Zhuo was able to get acquainted with the governor, he is really young and promising, and his future is limitless!" Feng Jingchu hurriedly patted his ass.
Zhuo Shijie said with a smile: "Master Feng doesn't know, in fact, Governor Wu is not a cousin, so he often goes to the mansion to disturb him. ”
Feng Jingchu heard this, his knees were weak, Wu Zhiping has been the governor of FJ for more than ten years, and there are naturally many relatives and friends, but he never imagined that this person in front of him is actually the cousin of the governor!
"Mr. Zhuo, I'm really sorry for you, Feng has no eyes, a lot of neglect, and I still hope to forgive my sins, and I hope to forgive my sins!"
Feng Jingchu was already in chaos at this time, he didn't know what to think in his mind, and he even suspected that this person was a high-ranking official sent by the governor to pay a private visit.
"As soon as this person came, he said that he wanted to help the victims, and I think the governor specially sent him to inspect the situation of the disaster victims in the state capitals!"
Zhuo Shijie looked at Feng Jingchu's unyielding appearance coldly, knowing that he had completely broken through his heart defense.
"In that case, then Master Feng, what do you think of this grain purchase?"
Feng Jingchu hurriedly said: "It's all up to Mr. Zhuo!" It's all up to Mr. Feng! Feng, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, is a matter of duty to contribute to the victims, and he dares to refuse! ”
Zhuo Shijie laughed and said: "Master Feng is worried about the country and the people, Zhuo will definitely report what Master Feng did to the governor!" ”
Feng Jingchu was flattered, and almost knelt down to thank him.
As for the price of rice and grain, where did Feng Jingchu dare to ask for the price, and in the end, Zhuo Shijie gave him the price of one or two silver and one stone of rice.
Feng Jingchu was almost distressed to death, this price was ninety percent less than the original price he set! It's all lost.
What made him even more distressed was that this Mr. Zhuo had a huge appetite, and he took out seventy or eighty percent of the rice he had hoarded at once!
But he could only endure the pain, and he didn't dare to say half a "no", and he had to pretend to be willing.
"Later, I will have people send the grain money to the house, and Master Feng will only open a warehouse for the victims to release the grain when he arrives."
Zhuo Shijie was not afraid that Feng Jingchu would manipulate the amount of food, he had already been frightened, and he would definitely not ask for trouble.
When leaving the Feng Mansion, Zhuo Shijie accidentally saw the little girl ring he saw when he entered the door, hiding behind a pillar and secretly looking at him.
Zhuo Shijie was a little puzzled, he had been doing the business of robbing houses at sea all these years, as if it was impossible to have an old man at such a young age.
"It's funny, how could I be upset by a little girl!"
He shook his head, walked out of Feng's mansion, and went straight to the next target.
To deal with these big families who are just rich but have no foundation in the officialdom, the three-plate axe in Zhuo Shijie's hand is really effective.
The first is to create a relaxed conversation environment, take advantage of their unpreparedness, catch the other party's slip of the tongue, and intimidate.
The second axe pretends to be a relative of a high-ranking official to create pressure on the other party and confuse his mind. (This trick seems to be brainless, but it is extremely effective, a peasant in later generations can pretend to be relatives of high-ranking officials, and bluff those grassroots officials, let alone the Ming Dynasty at this time.) )
Third, if someone doubts the identity of his high-ranking officials' relatives, he will use the court law to suppress the other party, hoard grain, sell it at a price, and make a fortune, which is a capital crime.
With these three axes in hand, things went very smoothly, and several large grain hoarders raised their hands to surrender and obediently surrendered under these three axes.
However, there is one of them that is a bit of a special situation.
There is a big family surnamed Chen, and before Zhuo Shijie showed his axe, he immediately said that he could sell rice and grain at a low price.
This Chen Yuanwai said to Zhuo Shijie: "I have long had this intention, but I am afraid of offending others, saying that I have lowered the price of rice, so that they cannot make money, so I dare not easily release grain, so as not to suffer disasters for my family." ”
Zhuo Shijie saw that he said it sincerely, not like hypocrisy, and he was secretly ashamed in his heart.
The rich are not all bad, and the poor are not all good, so why can't he even figure this out until now?
His one-size-fits-all approach this time is really a bit inappropriate.
Isn't it the wrong behavior of him to fight local tyrants and shoddy gentry that has been criticized by countless people in later generations?
Of course, good people must have good rewards, after Zhuo Shijie returned to the inn, he immediately arranged for Wu Tianming to ask him to rob Chen Yuanwai's belongings the night before yesterday and find an opportunity to send him back.
When arranging to send grain to several large households, in order not to reveal the stuffing, he deliberately sent the gold and silver of the east family to the west family, and the ingots of the Zhang family to the Wang family.
Even so, the paper could not contain the fire, and it would not be long before the big families would find out that the food money they received was actually just their looted family property.
At that point, I don't know what kind of expression they will have on their faces.
However, when the matter was revealed, Zhuo Shijie had already gone away.
When leaving Zhangzhou Mansion, Zhuo Shijie also had to see the situation when these big households opened warehouses and released grain.
"You go out separately and go around these granaries to see if there is not enough grain when they open the warehouse."
The heads of these large grain hoarders have long been dizzy by Zhuo Shijie's ecstasy soup, and they are far from waking up at this time, and they are working very hard to open the warehouse and release grain.
The streets were full of people carrying sacks of grain, and they were so hungry that some of them even grabbed raw rice and swallowed it in their mouths on the street.
Of course, in addition to the victims, there are locals in Zhangzhou, who also fish in the water, pretending to be victims to get food, and Zhuo Shijie does not want to pursue this. The amount of grain released from the warehouse this time is very large, and even if it is a little damaged, it is enough to support the victims for a long time.
When a person does a good deed, he is always in a good mood, and Zhuo Shijie is very satisfied when he looks at the happy appearance of the victims on the street.
"The matter of Zhangzhou Mansion is over, and we should also get back on the road."
On the same day, Zhuo Shijie and the others found two carriages, re-got on the road, and headed north.
