For a few days, the Yidian next to the Shexian Levy and Loss Depot was the most prosperous and lively place in the county and even in the prefecture. Because the price of grain was three cents of silver and one stone of grain higher than that of other rice stores, not only the people, but also the villagers of the other five counties, after seeking permission, all sent the grain they had worked so hard to get here, and sold it into silver that was in good condition and without any deduction.

So, Ye Qinglong couldn't wait to put his hands and feet together during the day, and at night after checking the account book, he fell asleep on the bed, and he was busy every day as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. It's no wonder that he is so excited, even if he has already pinched three hundred taels of silver in his hand before, Wang Fulin said that he can start a stove at any time, but three hundred taels of silver looks like a lot, just enough to do a small business, how can he run such a huge grain store like now? It is no exaggeration to say that he, a young man from Xiuning, is now a shopkeeper hired by a large number of Haoqiang in She County, and there are so many people coming and going these days, who doesn't call him a shopkeeper Ye?

Even Qi Liang, the former one of the Qi family's hundreds of households, was also polite to him, so that from apprentices to buddies, Ye Qinglong, who had tasted enough of being called and drunk, was warm and sweet.

But today, for the first time in his life, he realized what it meant to be a shopkeeper. Because that means you have to be at the forefront of the unexpected event! At this moment, the former young man who will turn seventeen after the New Year is now standing at the forefront, although behind him is Qi Liang and three or five old soldiers of the Qi family army to support him, he still has a feeling that he is about to be swallowed up in the wind and waves!

Fortunately, I expected that there might be a change, so I coaxed Mr. Cheng home early to accompany Mr. Cheng who was about to travel away!

"Isn't it a righteous shop? Just now, the other rice stores have risen by four cents in one go. What about us? We only sold it one day earlier, and we lost four cents of silver for every stone of grain! ”

"That's right, we make such a little hard-earned money all year round, since you claim to be benevolent and righteous, you can't watch us lose!"

"Pay us the difference. Otherwise, this righteous signboard will be taken down, and everyone will say that it is right! ”

"That's right! Those rice stores have begun to collect our food, and we don't have the only place to sell! ”

In the face of such an uproar and shouting, Ye Qinglong couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He took a deep breath and then said, "Fellow villagers, fathers. Hold quiet, since those rice stores have already raised the price of grain, of course we will increase the price accordingly......"

"If the price is raised, it will also benefit the people after that, and what about our losses!"

"Yes, we're trying to get justice right now. Make up for our losses! ”

Ye Qinglong couldn't help but have a blue tendon on his forehead, and he couldn't wait to scold these insatiable guys angrily - when you were happy to sell grain earlier, you all thought that the price was good, but now that people are rising, you will come to make up for the losses, take advantage of it and keep silent, and immediately scold the profiteers when you suffer a loss, what kind of people are these!

Unconsciously. Xiao Yezi has already completed the transformation of his identity, because he is no longer a mere guy, but a shopkeeper who is in charge alone.

And in the house. Wang Fulin and Xiaobei, who happened to slip into the Yidian from the back door, happened to meet the old Wu of Nanxi South Village, who came here to check today. In the face of the surging people outside, Wu Lao Yuanwai couldn't help frowning and said: "If it is really just the price adjustment, how can so many people flock to it in a hurry?" It is clear that those rice shops are deliberately causing trouble! ”

"That's how it should be." Wang Fulin touched his chin without being surprised, and then said with a smile to Old Man Wu, "But it's not difficult to guess the means they can use." It's just that I'm not very good at showing up at this time, since Mr. Wu happens to be outside. Could you please come forward and bring me a message? To these menacing people who think they have been wronged? ”

"Oh? Wang Xiaoguan said. ”

Xiaobei was standing on the chair with both hands holding the window to peep at the movement outside, although there were those old soldiers of the Qi family, she couldn't help but be a little worried that the situation was out of control, and these villagers rushed in, so when she heard the muttering voices of Wang Fulin and Wu Lao Yuan behind her, she couldn't help but glance back, but only to see Wang Xiaoxiucai's face showing a hint of a thief's smile, and she was confident. As for Old Man Wu, he stared at Wang Fulin with strange eyes for a long time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Treat others the way they do...... No wonder you've made a name for yourself over the past few months! ”

Seeing that Old Man Wu left this sentence outside, he left the house without looking back, and when he arrived in front of the public, Xiaobei couldn't help jumping up from the chair, ran to Wang Fulin, and asked bluntly: "Hey, what idea did you give to others?" There are at least forty or fifty of them, can you really bounce them down? ”

"Of course. Some people are bought, and some people come for profit. The former is simply making trouble, and you can't hold it down no matter how much you play it, but as long as you throw out an opportunity to make a profit, then the latter will turn against you lightly, and the former will be easy to distinguish. At that time, if they make trouble again, those people who are the head of the Zhuang class, Zhao Wuye, are not vegetarians. ”

"Make it clear, don't sell it!"

"Shhhh Wang Fulin didn't care about Xiaobei's straight jumping feet, and his eyes fell on Ye Qinglong. Although he had already taught the young man face-to-face before, since Old Man Wu had sent him to the door, it was still necessary to reduce the burden on Xiao Yezi, save the seedlings and help them grow, which made the family feel a lot of pressure.

Ye Qinglong saw that the crowd was surging, and he was about to lose it, he turned his heart sideways, and was about to throw out the response plan that Wang Fulin had drawn up in advance, when he suddenly felt that someone walked by him, and it was actually in front of him. Seeing that this was an old man with gray hair and plain satin clothes, although he didn't know much about people, he quickly shut his mouth.

"The old man Nanxi Nan Wu Zhou is also one of the proprietors of this righteous shop." First of all, leaving this sentence, Old Man Wu glanced around at everyone, and saw that although there were still people agitating and shouting, most of them stopped the noise for the time being, listening to his own words, he couldn't help but feel a little more at ease, and then said, "I just heard it inside, you heard that the price of those rice stores in Fucheng has risen, so you want to come and ask for the previous price difference compensation." There is a saying that there is no regret in buying and selling, that is, whether the price of the sold thing rises in the future, or the price of the thing bought back falls in the future, you can't regret it! ”

Seeing that there was another uproar around him, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "However, since we insisted on adding a righteous word to the small shop, then, according to the meaning of Wang Xiaoguanren, the initiator of this righteous shop, of course, we must do this two words of benevolence and righteousness to the end!" If you want to make up for the difference in the price of the grain collected by the righteous store before, you can buy the grain back at a price one cent higher than the previous price per stone, and then send it to the rice shops in Fucheng that collect the grain to earn the difference of three cents of silver! ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was silent at first, and then it boiled. Some people shouted to ask if this was true, some people shouted that the store did not accept it themselves, and some people rolled up their sleeves on the spot to redeem the grain they had sold before...... But as Old Man Wu raised his hands in the air, the crowd gradually quieted down again.

"However, the old man has something to say here. In the past, when selling grain, the Yidian was more cumbersome than the ordinary rice store, leaving a name and address, and even a drawing and a handprint. When you sell grain before redemption, you should also check these things, so that some people don't come to make trouble with malicious intentions! As for why it is one point higher than the original price, it is very simple, manpower is also cost. It's the same for you to go to other places to sell, I just said, there is no regret in buying and selling, since someone regrets it, then there is absolutely no reason to continue trading in the small store! Someone wants to ask if they accept it...... Hehe, just now someone said that those rice shops all collect people's grain, and you redeem the grain, but they don't accept it, can't you follow the example of the small shop at this moment, continue to gather together, and go to other people's places to make trouble? ”

Wu Lao Yuanwai was also a person who served two terms as a teacher in Nanzhili and Zhejiang in his early years, and he was able to convince Jiangnan students. For a while, the crowd that was about to move was completely deflated as if the bulging ball had been punctured. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Qinglong suddenly had confidence, and immediately said vividly: "Old Man Wu's words, you all heard it!" His words are the meaning of all the proprietors of this righteous shop, so whoever wants to redeem it can come up and redeem it immediately! ”

After he shouted, after a pause, he crossed his waist and said: "As for those who have never come here to sell grain at all, but they deliberately came here to make trouble, that's right, not to mention that Qi Baihu and these military masters under his command put their hard-earned money here, and they are all owners, even Zhao Bantou, a strong class in Shexian County, has already brought people to maintain it!" ”

In the room, Wang Fulin saw that Xiaobei couldn't take his eyes off it, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Hey, I've returned to my soul!" ”

Xiaobei woke up in shock, glanced at Wang Fulin and said angrily: "You are too thief!" ”

"Awards, awards." Wang Fulin didn't care at all, and spread his hands and said, "The so-called righteous shop is not really just for doing good deeds, if you encounter this kind of thing again and again, wouldn't it be troublesome?" Therefore, you have to let people know that the store is not a bully, but it is not easy to bully! ”

It was the first time Xiaobei had heard such a statement, and when she followed Wang Fulin back to the county government from the back street of the county, she was still thinking there, not paying attention to Wang Fulin sneaking around and being a thief all the way. When she flashed into the back door of the magistrate's office, she followed Wang Fulin to the door of Ye Junyao's hall, and when she was about to enter, she found that there was no one around, and when she turned her head, she saw that the person had gone out from the second gate.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I'll go to the lobby to see what's going on, and I'll leave it to you here."

That Shu Tuiguan jumped out again at this time, obviously there was a ghost!

ps: There are three more today, but there will be two more tomorrow, so let's preview it in advance, summon monthly passes and recommended tickets ^_^ (to be continued)
