"How many stones are you going to borrow?"

"Three stones, three stones are enough. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Okay, Li Shoucai, three stones."

The account room sitting at the table wrote the words "Li Shoucai" and "Three Stones" on the account book one by one, and then shouted without raising his head, "Next, Xue Simu." ”

Before Xue Simu could sit down, the account room opened his mouth and asked.

"How many stones are you going to borrow?"

"Three...... No, four...... Hmmm......"

"Well, Xue Simu, Sishi."

Before the account room could be put into writing, Xue Simu quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to stop it.

"No, no, no, it's not four stones! Not four stones! ”

"That's five stones? Okay, five stones are five stones. ”

Saying that, the account room was about to put pen to paper again, but this time Xue Simu still stopped it.

The account room raised his head angrily and glared at Xue Simu angrily: "There is still a group of people waiting behind, how much do you want, don't be like a girl!" ”

Xue Simu was embarrassed to be said, scratched his head twistedly, and finally said in a low voice: "Four...... Well, no, fifty stones! ”

"How much!?"

The bookkeeper snapped his ears in disbelief.

"I want fifty stone of grain!"

This time, Xue Simu finally made it clear and categorical.

The bookkeeper sneered and said, "Fifty stone grain!?" There are only four people in your Xue Simu family, and you asked me for fifty stone of grain, what do you plan to eat until the next year!? Usually when you have a good year, you eat bran vegetables, but now that you have a disaster, you have a white rice!? ”

Xue Simu's anger and blood surged up when he was said, his eyes widened, he slapped the table, and said angrily: "Young Master Sun didn't say how much you can only borrow if you die, what's wrong with me borrowing more!?" Are you going to give it or not? ”

The bookkeeper looked at Huzi beside him in embarrassment, this time he was the person in charge, Huzi nodded and said, "Since Young Master Sun didn't say no, let's write it down for him first." ”

"Really...... Is it really for him? ”

"Write, hurry up and write, the grain merchant's people are still waiting, if we don't hurry up, we will have to delay them to load the grain."

"That'...... Well......" The account office was helpless, and although he was reluctant, he still wrote the words "Xue Simu" and "Five Stones" on the account book.

Xue Simu's eyes widened and he stared at the hand of the account room, he was really afraid that someone would accidentally write it wrong, and he wanted to write it for the account room. When the account room is written, I still can't be sure, and I keep looking left and right, and I see that the account room is boring.

"What the hell are you looking at!? And if you can't read, what if you look at the paper badly!? Get out, get out! Next, next! ”

……

It seems that he was encouraged by Xue Simu's success, and then several people opened their mouths to ask for dozens of stones of food, and even the most frustrated one actually opened his mouth to ask for a hundred stones! I really opened my mouth and asked for a hundred stones!

I was dumbfounded!

You must know that although the current grain price is roughly more than one stone of rice and one tael or eight yuan, if you really find the right person, it will be absolutely no problem to sell two taels! One hundred stone of rice is two hundred taels of silver!

It's a shame that these people dare to ask for it!

After everyone finished counting, Huzi hurriedly took the account book and handed it to Guan Kunyu as if he was holding a hot potato.

Guan Kunyu flipped through the account book page by page, and the more he looked at it, the more smiles on his face grew, who said that Chinese farmers were simple? It is true that many Chinese farmers are very simple in many places, which is true, but it does not mean that they are stupid! When it comes to the shrewdness of the small peasants who take advantage of the advantage, they have been outstanding in the absolute sense from ancient times to the present day!

No, it can be seen from the account book alone, they are all neighbors who have lived together for a long time, and how much food do they want to eat for a few people in each family, Guan Kunyu must have an approximate number in his heart, even if he doesn't count according to the fact that each family has no food at all, the real amount of food and borrowing is only three or four out of ten, and the rest of the people more or less ask for more or less food.

The most common thing is to ask for one or two more stones, but it is not too much, in Guan Kunyu's opinion, it is not unacceptable, some are cheating and slippery, but at least there is still a line in my heart.

But the remaining few made him admire it a lot, at least he Guan Kunyu definitely didn't have the guts to blatantly blacken his own leadership money!

Others make a little fuss about a few dollars of silver pocket money, and he Guan Kunyu can be entitled to welfare, but these guys ...... Hehe.

Guan Kunyu closed the account book and asked Huzi, "What do you think of these people?" ”

Huzi said without thinking about it: "Those who honestly borrow food can definitely be trusted, and those who ask for a little more can be understood, but these lions will definitely not be able to open their mouths!" Young Master Sun, if you want to deal with it, I'll deal with it! ”

Guan Kunyu shook his head: "Honest is not necessarily really honest, but I don't dare to start, as for those lions who open their mouths, you take someone to keep an eye on me!" Show me what they're trying to do! ”

Huzi nodded, Guan Kunyu meant very well to him, the others were nothing, if those few guys with big mouths opened their mouths directly sold the grain, and took hundreds of taels of silver to simply become a deserter and not pay it back, it would not be good! And he was sure that someone must have beaten this idea, and the temptation of hundreds of taels of silver was not something that anyone could withstand!

In the next three days, the cantonment was really lively, almost every household had people go out to sell grain, and Huzi secretly asked someone to buy some of the grain they took out to sell, which really made Guan Kunyu even more impressed by the group of military households under his hands.

The grain is greatly mixed with sand!

Guan Kunyu is very conscientious, and the food he lent to his people was a conscience that was almost not miserable, but when these people took it out and went to take it out, they directly said that it was mixed with three percent of sand! The asking price is two dollars of silver, and I love to buy it or not! It's not much better than those black-hearted grain merchants who don't want to be scolded by them every day!

It can be seen that these people are scolded not because of the black heart of the grain merchants, but because it is not them who are black-hearted!

As for the guys who asked for dozens of stones of grain in one go, Guan Kunyu deliberately ordered them not to be touched for the time being, just to see what these people thought.

As expected, a total of seven people, including Xue Simu, were arrested by Huzi and others in the process of escaping, and there was nothing to say, first hang on the stone castle wall for three days, and then send it to military law for disposal if they didn't die! Only the situation of borrowing a hundred stones of grain is a bit special, the wife and children at home and the parents are there, but they take the food and never go back!

This situation made Huzi and Guan Kunyu a little confused, in modern times, it is not unheard of to abandon his wife and run away with money, but it is very rare in the Ming Dynasty, and the reaction of his family is relatively calm, so Guan Kunyu decided to wait and say, anyway, now he is also a trench, and it is not a loss of a hundred stone of grain.
