Chapter 158: The Battlefield That Has Shifted a Long Time Ago!
When one or twenty of the former self-respecting gentry came to the seats leaning against the window on the third floor of the Zhuangyuan Building, and when they saw the crowd gathered below, they couldn't help but change their colors in unison. Especially the face of Duan Chaozong, the prefect of Huizhou, was almost covered with frost. At this moment, Wang Youmin, who felt that he had just gained the upper hand, suddenly turned his head and glared at Wang Fulin with a sneering face.
"Wang Xiaoxianggong, the people who summoned all the elderly gentry in the township today are you and Cheng Gongzi, but there are so many troubles now, should you also come forward to suppress and suppress it? You know, next to this is the greatest glory of She County, Tang Zhuangyuan's Zhuangyuan Fang, and this place is only a stone's throw away from the Huizhou Mansion, there is really a problem, can you afford it? ”
Wang Fulin glanced at Wang Youmin, and then said nonchalantly: "Just seeing people gathering, I think it must be Diao Min making trouble, Wang Gongzi, your vision is really shallow." Naixuan, since the two of us are today's hosts, I'll go down first, and you can help entertain the other guests. Hong Dongjia has prepared a lot of specialty dishes for today's banquet, but it is different from the original hero banquet. Among them, there is a good clear water crab, and please taste it in this good seat near the window, and I will go back. ”
Seeing that after Wang Fulin said this, Shi Shiran left after giving up his hand, Wang Youmin only felt how uncomfortable it was to punch the air with his strength. He felt that Wang Fulin was talking big, and most of the other people who didn't know this little talent thought it was just a trick, but when Master Cheng saw Cheng Naixuan greeting everyone with Hong Renwu with a smile, the worry in his heart faded a lot. When a few friends who had been close to him in the past whispered questions, he smiled and said, "When the children grow up, they should also learn to be independent." I can trust them. ”
Master Cheng could trust these three words, and Duan Chaozong not far away heard it, so even though the big crab on the table was fragrant, he didn't have the heart to eat it. He simply stood by the window and looked downstairs, but the noisy voice made it impossible for him to hear what everyone was saying. It wasn't until Wang Fulin finally appeared downstairs that he seemed to raise his hand to signal silence, and shouted two more words, and after a while, the hundreds of people quieted down. He was amazed at Xiao Xiucai's prestige. saw Wang Fulin turn around and look upstairs.
"Thank you Wang Xiaoxiang, Cheng, Xiaoxianggong saved us from fire and water!"
"I wish the two little ministers a great victory in the future science field, and the prince Wandai!"
"That righteous shop is really a charcoal in the snow, otherwise we don't know how many days we will have to sleep on Temple Street!"
With these voices, many people knelt down and kowtowed in an instant. Faced with such a scene, the eunuchs and gentry upstairs originally had the mentality of watching a play. Quite a few people were stunned. Wang Shangning, who originally raised a glass to drink tea, pinched the teacup even more, if it weren't for the old age and frailty, he might be able to make a mark on the teacup! Wang Youmin beside him was even more dumbfounded, he was young and conceited, he didn't have anyone else's city, and after coming back to his senses, he actually lost his voice and shouted: "This is impossible!" It must be that Wang Fulin looking for someone to act! ”
Wang Shangning glared at Wang Youmin with some annoyance, seeing that he was staring at the scene downstairs, he didn't notice his eyes at all, and all the praise he had for this nephew had turned into dissatisfaction. Sure enough, it is a bad bamboo that can't produce good bamboo shoots. Wang Shangxuan, such a grandfather who has achieved nothing, how can he raise a calm grandson?
Downstairs, Wang Fulin personally helped the kneeling villagers up one by one. At the same time, he also signaled that others who want to follow the trend do not have to. In the end, he retreated to his position and said loudly: "Everyone, the villagers of Nanxinan in She County smashed a rice store before, which is indeed the first time they broke the law, but those rice stores do not accept people's grain because of this. It's so deceitful! Before, there were villagers in other five counties gloating, thinking that we ignored it first. But the result? Even if the people in their five counties sell grain, the price of grain has not dropped by two cents of silver compared to before! ”
"So. The so-called righteous shop, I didn't think much about it, it was purely because I heard the news that I didn't accept people's food, I was full of righteous indignation, pulled my friend Cheng Gongzi, and thanks to Qi Baihu of the Qi family's army and other old soldiers to fight for righteousness and squander money, even the righteous store you see today was temporarily found next to the levy and loss warehouse, so that it is easy to say that it is three rooms borrowed from residents! Today, I invited all the famous eunuchs and gentry of She County here, just to hope that everyone can get together in the righteous shop, so that more people can benefit! Mr. Nanxi Nanwu was late in knowing the news, but he still felt the experience of the villagers in his village, so he donated 200 taels ......"
At this moment, everyone upstairs finally heard clearly. Dare to love Wang Fulin today is not just to invite everyone to discuss, but to cut first and then play, and directly support the stall!
Except for the old man Wu Zhongming of the Nanxi Nanwu Zhongming clan who was named, his face was pale at this time, and he thought that he had donated two hundred taels to the face of Master Cheng and Wang Daokun, but it was not in vain. Otherwise, because of the bastards in his village who can't hold back their anger, Nan Xinan will be scolded to death by those people who can't sell food!
The surrounding villagers of She County, listening to Wang Fulin's impassioned words, were not only a little moved. Half a day ago, they were still hanging on a cliff, but now they are finally down-to-earth!
Previously, although the rice grain stores in the five counties all released the news that they would not accept people to sell grain, there were still a number of people rushing to the city from the four towns and eight miles, preparing to clear the summer tax before the tax payment deadline, so as not to turn back and be sent white grain. As for the people of the other five counties, there are also people who live close to the city, who choose to sell grain here first, and then take the silver to their respective county towns to collect and transport the treasury to pay the tax. At first, when they heard that the rice store did not accept people's grain, they were still a little gloating, but when these villagers in the five counties heard the quotation of the guy or the shopkeeper, they were suddenly stunned.
After such a disturbance, the purchase price of grain in all rice banks fell instead of rising, and from barley wheat to rice and millet fell by two cents of silver!
Now, all the thoughts of watching others be lively are gone. Although it is only one stone of grain, the difference is two points, but what about ten stones and eight stones? The amount of money in hand has shrunk, and after paying taxes, how much is enough to make ends meet?
From the early morning of the She County Celebrity Conference, Zhao Wuye personally led the people to lobby one by one for those villagers who could not sell grain and stayed in the open air in the city for the night. They have found a place to sell grain. Although some people were skeptical, and some people were even more suspicious that the price would be suppressed, the people who led the way took them from Fucheng to the county town to ask the price of a rice grain store, and finally came to the side of the Shexian levy and transportation warehouse. Outside a compound marked with the word Yidian. And the grain price sign here is three points higher than the grain price of all the grain stores they just found!
Even so, there are still people who can't believe that pie in the sky has fallen from the sky. There were hundreds of people who were "kidnapped" here one after another by the Minzhuang under Zhao Wuye, most of whom came to pay the summer tax, and some villagers were because they had collected a few more buckets and stones this year. I wanted to exchange money to buy something to take home. In the midst of their chaotic inquiry, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old in a green shirt came out of it with a vivid spirit, and behind him, there was also Qi Liang, who glanced at Qi Liang but did not lose his might.
Ye Qinglong never dreamed that Wang Fulin would give him a store before. It's the current situation. Although the two big proprietors of Yidian, Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan, were on the side of the Zhuangyuan Building, and the Qi Baihu behind him made it clear that he would only be present and not care about anything else, but he was almost crazy. For the first time in his life, he can be so beautiful as a young man who is called around!
"Fellow folks!"
When Xiao Yezi said this, he completely forgot that he was from Xiuning, and he couldn't fight with Sheren. It's just that he went to Fucheng as an apprentice when he was a child, and he speaks the local dialect fluently. It's enough to smooth out this small gap. He cleared his throat, trying to make himself louder.
"Everyone should have heard that except for the two Shexian grain stores that had long been out of money and did not collect grain, the rest of the grain stores had already spread the word that they would not accept the people's grain. So. My petty official Songmingshan Wang Xiaoxianggong, together with the county seat Huangjiawu Cheng Xiaoxianggong. As well as the Qi family, the army, the hundreds of households, and the Nanxi Nanwu veterans and several other families to help. Each took out the capital and supported this righteous shop, so this is why the grain price is now three cents higher than that of other rice shops! ”
Saying this, Ye Qinglong thought in his heart - those profiteers took the opportunity to press another two cents, and after calculating it, this righteous shop was only one point higher than the original low price, but in the eyes of the villagers who had been exploited, this was a full three points increase, and Wang Xiaoxiu was really good!
Hearing Ye Qinglong's words, there was a commotion in the crowd. The Cheng family of Huangjiawu is very famous, Wang Fulin has become famous recently, and Qi Jiajun is not to mention, more than ten years earlier, it was the biggest protagonist in the entire southeast, there is no one! Hearing that it was the generals of the Qi family's army, the only son of the famous old man of She County, and the famous Wang Xiaoxiucai who pooled their money to set up a charity store, and some people in Nanxi South Village, who had caused trouble before, also stood up and took out their pockets, and fought with the black-hearted rice store to collect grain, and most people no longer doubted it. In a blink of an eye, there was a hot scene at the entrance of the store.
In the end, as soon as Ye Qinglong said that Wang Xiaoxiu was negotiating with the celebrities of She County in the Zhuangyuan Building, a bunch of villagers who had sold their grain and unloaded their burdens came!
At this moment, downstairs in the champion, Wang Fulin is explaining in detail that this righteous shop is highlighting a righteous word, so the purpose is not to grab business with other rice stores, but to prevent the grain from hurting the farmers, but not to let the grain prices soar when the spring ploughing grain is short, and more importantly, to provide convenience for the villagers who do not have money to pay their taxes.
At the same time, upstairs in the champion, Duan Chaozong, the prefect of Huizhou, was convinced that Wang Fulin had really spread out the stall without anyone knowing, and the word pedantic in the original evaluation had quietly turned into decisiveness. Those eunuchs and gentry who were generalized in the first army, heard that the old man of Nanxi Nanwu, the old man of Nanwu in Xixi, and the old man of Huangjiawu Cheng...... A total of five or six people donated money, and most of them were wondering if they would just take out one hundred and eighty taels of silver and fool the matter for the time being. As for Wang Shangning, after the last time he sent Bai Liang, he was used as a monkey on the ground in Huizhou Mansion for the second time, which made his whole body tremble with anger.
But at this time, Wang Fulin's clear voice came from downstairs. (To be continued)
