When Wang Chonggu saw Tang Yi, it was as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw, and old tears flowed down instantly. With trembling hands, he grabbed Tang Yi's arm and asked suspiciously, "Okay, is the food really coming?" ”

"Hmm!" Tang Yi said confidently: "The student took the adult's handwritten letter and went to Songjiang to meet the Xu family. The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River still have the court and the people in their hearts, and they are willing to help when they know the difficulties of the mansion, please rest assured, hundreds of thousands of stone grains will be transported in a few days. ”

Tang Yi's words were not only heard by Pan Bingzhong and others, but even Wang Chonggu was confused, I wrote a handwritten letter to the Xu family, but people didn't bird me at all, and they were ready to eat it to death. How did Tang Yi persuade the Xu family and get food?

Wang Chonggu was full of doubts: "Okay, is the grain really delivered?" ”

"If you don't believe it, sir, you can go to Chang Ping to see for yourself!"

"Okay, I'll go!"

Wang Chonggu's body suddenly gained strength, and regardless of Pan Bingzhong and the others, he strode with Tang Yi all the way to Chang Ping. At this time, a large number of people were carrying heavy bags of rice and walking inside. All around are soldiers with knives and guns, ready to fight.

Wang Chonggu arrived in front of a folk man, stretched out his hand and grabbed the rice bag, tore it with both hands, and there was a loud noise, and the snow-white rice grains flowed out, and in an instant, Wang Chonggu's eyes were hazy.

"What food, what food!"

Wang Chonggu sat for a long time before he remembered Tang Yi, and hurriedly grabbed his arm, his fingers digging deep into the flesh.

"Okay, what the hell is going on? How could the Xu family be willing to give food? ”

"Huh. It's not that Mr. is invincible, the Xu family understands the righteousness, and God blesses it, so that the students can get things done. ”

Wang Chonggu automatically ignored the first three nonsense sentences, pretended to be angry, and reprimanded: "Dry up." Say useful! ”

"Yes!"

Tang Yi leaned into Wang Chonggu's ear and said a few words in a low voice, Wang Chonggu's face changed wildly, and finally stood up and bowed deeply.

Don't blame him for saluting Tang Yi, it's really not easy for these grains to come......

Since the Kong family's food failed, Tang Yi returned to Suzhou, and others thought that he had given up, but in fact it was not the case at all. He ran to Zhenjiang. Zhao Yongfang took the lead, knowing very well that he had been targeted. No matter what he does, people will stop it in advance.

So Tang Yi simply played with his hands, and repaired the plank road darkly. On the surface, he gave up his efforts and studied at home to reflect, but in fact, he hid in Wang Yueying's sedan chair, and quietly left Suzhou in the name of going out of the city to incense, and rushed all the way to Xu's house in Huating.

It's easy to get out of Suzhou. But it was even more difficult to persuade the Xu family, and after two lessons from the Wang family and the Kong family. Tang Yi has already seen clearly, what these big families want is real benefits, to put it simply: silver!

It's just that Tang Yi doesn't have any silver in his hand, and even if he does, he won't spend a few million taels to buy a mere 200,000 stones of silver, even if it's a "trench", he can't be such a loser.

Don't look at the lack of silver. But Tang Yi was full of confidence, he found Xu Jie's old uncle, Xu Ge's old parents were already ancient, and the head of the family was the old man who was in charge, talking about age. He is enough older than Tang Yi to be his grandfather.

However, the old man was fooled by Tang Yi, and he was fooled very thoroughly.

Tang Yi didn't talk about food, but talked about raw silk, and asked the Xu family if they wanted to sell raw silk, which made the old Xu Tou's itch.

The Xu family has 200,000 acres of farmland, and the mulberry field is also more than 30,000 mu, and two years ago, the income brought by the mulberry field was almost equivalent to half of the farmland. But over the years, the Japanese have become more and more troublesome, the sea route has been cut off, and the raw silk that used to be more and more gold cannot be sold, so it can only be left at home to grow insects, which makes the old man feel distressed.

Tang Yi generously told Old Man Xu that he could contact the Weaving Bureau and let the Weaving Bureau buy the raw silk of the Xu family, and Tang Yi also promised a condition that the Xu family could not refuse at all, he was willing to dedicate 50,000 acres of mulberry fields to the name of the Xu family!

What is a contribution?

In short, it is a yeoman farmer or a small and medium-sized landlord, in order to avoid the heavy conscription, to sell himself to the name of a privileged nobleman and become their tenant farmer, so as to avoid the burden of conscription.

At the beginning of the country, the objects of dedication were the royal family, nobles, and meritorious heroes, and later, with the expansion of civil power, they surpassed the nobles, and the common people vied with each other to put the land in the name of the bureaucrats and gentry.

Take the Xu family's land as an example, in fact, most of them are based on the donation of "you are willing and I am willing", not a forced annexation. However, under the warmth and affection, the imperial court tax has passed significantly, and it is more than half of the acres of land that was taxed at the beginning of the country, and the total amount of taxes remains unchanged, and the extra burden falls on the people.

Tang Yixin said that if the teacher Tang Shunzhi was present, he was afraid that he would be able to beat him to death, a bad disciple.

God is pitiful, Tang Yi did not sacrifice Sangtian to the Xu family to avoid the burden of forced labor, after all, my father is also an official, and he can also be exempted from tax and military service.

The reason why he gave Sangtian to the Xu family, Tang Yi had two considerations, first, after the food crisis, the transportation bank would definitely jump to the leading force in the southeast finance, and the profits brought by the full operation of financial industry and commerce were 100 times that of the land, and he didn't want to be a turtle that was shaving in the soil; Second, the great leap forward in transportation, there must be someone to escort him, especially in the imperial court, there must be people who speak and support, and choose to choose, that is, Xu Ge Lao is the most suitable, so he is a gentleman, give him Sangtian, and don't worry about Lao Xu's contribution.

Tang Yi's stomach was full of twists and turns, how did Old Man Xu know, he was extremely excited, and invited all the men of the Xu family, including Xu Jie's three sons, to push the cup and change the lamp, and have a good drink.

In the end, Tang Yi shyly put forward his request, hoping that the Xu family could give him 200,000 stone of grain.

If there is something that the Xu family likes more than silver, it is undoubtedly land, there are 50,000 acres of mulberry fields as the base, and the Xu family obediently gave the grain to Tang Yi. When Lao Xu Tou was leaving, he also told Tang Yi that he should have sent it to Suzhou in person, but they didn't want to hurt the face of Zhao Xu and the others too much, so they could only let Tang Yi deliver it himself.

Tang Yi was not polite, he had already found a helper when he came, that was Peng Yinan, the leader of the wolf soldiers. Peng Yinan was sent by Zhang Jing to Songjiang to defend against the Japanese invaders, in order to save Wang Chen, Tang Yi gave the wolf soldiers real money, and Peng Yinan was very affectionate to Tang Yi.

Hearing that he needed people to transport food, without saying a word, Peng Yinan sent five hundred soldiers and asked his younger brother to follow Tang Yi.

Thanks to the wolf soldiers, Zhao Xu had already contacted the surrounding prefectures and counties, telling them that they were not allowed to transport grain to Suzhou, and grain merchants in the territory were not allowed to sell grain in Suzhou.

The local officials were afraid of the power of Zhao Xu and others, and restrained the grain merchants very well, but they did not dare to do anything to the wolf soldiers.

Even after seeing it, he avoided it from a distance, and he didn't even have the courage to ask, so in this way, Tang Yi swaggered 200,000 stone of grain and sent it to Suzhou.

After listening to Tang Yi's narration, Wang Chonggu was simply stupid, he couldn't figure out whether Tang Yi, this kid, was sick in the brain, and actually gave 50,000 acres of mulberry land to the Xu family. You must know that there is no market for land and property, and almost every big family will go crazy to hoard land when they have the opportunity, especially the Jin merchants are the best among them.

Their creed is to die on the land! Even if he was forced to a dead end, Wang Chonggu never thought about exchanging land for food.

Tang Yi not only changed, but also changed it with confidence, in Wang Chonggu's opinion, most of the young people don't know the severity, and then they will have a strong sense of justice, and their heads will be burned to the point that they will do this kind of stupid thing.

In any case, Tang Yi has done him a great favor, and he deserves Wang Chonggu's salute and thanks.

"With the help of the deeds, the old man finally came back to life!"

Wang Chonggu regained his spirits, and Pan Bingzhong came over with a few generals to check, and he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the grain in his eyes. They knew that Tang Yi had helped get it, but they had no way to embarrass Wang Chonggu, and they would be sneered at by Wang Chonggu instead.

"Some people can't come out of the mouse hole when they encounter something, and they can pretend to be grandchildren, but they can't be cheated, and they have to pretend to be minions and lackeys! wanted to act for the tiger, but he forgot that there is a saying in this world, that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself! ”

Pan Bingzhong was scolded so that his face was blue and his breath was short.

"Governor Wang, this official is a Fengxian, supervising the lawlessness of hundreds of officials, what have you done, you know in your heart, you can get away with it once, you may not be able to escape the second time, the third time!"

"Hahaha!" Wang Chonggu laughed wildly, pointed at Pan Bingzhong with his finger and roared: "What a court style, are you doing things for the court, or are you doing things for some people?" No matter what happens to the old man, you can't see it, Master Pan, you wait! ”

Only Wang Chonggu dares to lead soldiers and has an amazing background who doesn't care about officials.

Among the officials, there has long been a saying that it is better to offend King Zhu than to provoke the wolf of Shanxi!

The Jin Party will not hit the board and will not kill the head, but they will make you ruined, and life is worse than death. In just a moment, Pan Bingzhong seemed to be ten years old, he smacked his mouth twice, stomped his feet hard, and turned to leave.

He was patrolling the imperial history, and Wang Chonggu didn't stop him, but walked in front of those generals, and the big slap was round, crackling, and the corners of their mouths were bloody.

If Wang Chonggu doesn't even bother to fight, it will be a dead end, and eating inside and outside will never end well!

Tang Yi hugged his shoulders and watched happily, a little girl secretly ran behind Tang Yi, stretched out her chubby little hand, grabbed Tang Yi's robe, climbed on her back deftly, picked the wilted flowers on his ears, and changed them into new ones. Grandma told her that the doll with flowers was beautiful, and she was going to dress up her big brother beautifully.

Wang Chonggu was also startled when he looked back and saw this scene.

"Okay, who is she?"

Tang Yi spread his hands helplessly, "It's Peng Touren's sister, if it weren't for her brother, the grain wouldn't have been able to come in!" ”

"I see, it's really hateful." Wang Chonggu gritted his teeth and sneered: "It's time to settle the general account!" (To be continued.) )
