The literati of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what they are, but the best is a reputation, and the most important thing is a face. Everyone has to boast that he is a character like Yu Shaobao, who is not afraid of broken bones, and a literati is asked by a martial artist if he has the liver and gallbladder, which is simply tolerable and unbearable for Zhang Jiayin.

He pulled out his waist, "Brother Xian, what are you talking about?" I am also a reader who reads the books of sages and knows the rites of saints, how can I not have a liver and gallbladder? Aren't they just a few big households, and I'm not afraid to fight them. It's just that the price of this grain is not so easy, and the government will at most let them give up some porridge and let them reduce the price, which is absolutely impossible. ”

"If the county magistrate orders them to reduce the price, then they can't do it, the key is that they don't listen, and we can't arrest him in prison. But if the price of grain falls, what is the use of them if they don't lower it? In the past, this method did not work because there was no food in the yamen; Second, even if there is food, if you release it, they will all eat it, so the low-price bailout has become a low-price bailout; The third is that they can always find all kinds of reasons and relationships, so that your act of saving the people is said to be destroying the market and harming the people. ”

"And they are not fighting alone, they have clans behind them, there are Austrian aid in the court, money and food in their hands, no matter whether they fight for money or strength, the government is often the weak side, so every time they fight, it is basically the government that is at a disadvantage."

Zhang Jiayin sighed and said, "What you said is not bad at all. It's a pity that these people can't see it, they only say why the imperial court doesn't give relief to the victims, why don't they open a warehouse and release rice, but they don't know that even if I release rice, the rice can't reach them. Moreover, the official warehouse of the imperial court is limited, and if you want to count on the official warehouse to starve and not die, it will not be possible to do it at all. ”

"Take your idea as an example, you want to fight against the big grain merchants, but we don't have much capital in our hands, and even if we buy some grain now, after they raise the price of grain in the future, how can we guarantee that the price of grain will be lowered? The difficulties you mentioned are the same. And this time, it's not a matter of one county, I estimate that the eight provinces of Henan will be launched together, and some big families will be involved at that time, and some of those families will be officials in the court, and even serve as officials in Beijing. ”

"Big brother, these difficulties do exist, but we also have a convenience this time, that is, righteousness." Yang Chengzu pointed to the confession, "This is our killer weapon, rebellion!" In the past, we couldn't do this because as soon as we did it, some people would come out and hinder us, saying that we were competing with the people for profit, and that we were harming the people. But this time, there is such a major event as rebellion, and everyone has to weigh it themselves, and the rebellion has always been to hoard food and incite the people to revolt. This time, we are helping the victims of the disaster and stabilizing food prices in order to ensure local tranquility and prevent chaos. If anyone dares to make a fuss about this matter, they can just check it, and he has nothing to do with this exposé and the case of rebellion against ordnance. ”

He said: "As for the big family of Henan Bafu, we can't control them so much, but it is our duty and our duty to ensure that our county does not change." If there is a change in Huaxian County, we will bear the brunt, and we will not even have a place to run. This time, we can say that we are working for the welfare of the common people and contributing to the community, but we are closing the door and saying that we are here to protect ourselves. If there is a civil uprising in Henan, which of us will have less sins? ”

Zhang Jiayin also knew that what he said was a truth, once a civil uprising really occurred in Huaxian County, he would not be able to escape from the crime of negligence. Besides, civil unrest will inevitably kill officials, and his own net worth and life cannot be saved, so he can't afford to pay attention to other things. He nodded and said: "Brother Xian is reasonable, Brother Fool is taught, this time the matter is arranged by you, and my county yamen will definitely do its best to help." ”

"With my brother's words, I'm relieved. Now you dispatch a part of the funds to hoard grain everywhere, and don't pay the taxes and grain that should be released in the county treasury first, and keep up with the Fengyamen. With grain in their hands, they don't panic, as long as our yamen has some grain in their hands, it will not be easy for them to raise the price of rice. Brother, I'll go find some food first, and we'll talk when we come back if I have anything to say. ”

He went out of the yamen and came all the way to the dock, Zhao Jiuxiong was waiting for him in the teahouse, and after the two met, Zhao Jiuxiong asked, "Tao Guang is dead?" ”

Tao Guang is the descendant who fell into the river after the fire bolt exploded yesterday, he was born in hardship, his parents died early, and he was later adopted by Zhao Jiuxiong, and he asked someone to teach him martial arts. He is shrewd, his martial arts are also strong, and his shots are ruthless enough, quite like Zhao Jiuxiong's youthful style, and many of the Cao Gang disciples here in Huazhou feel that he will definitely be able to take over the class of the ninth master in the future.

"He took my class, where are my sons going?" There were no outsiders in the room, so Zhao Jiuxiong told the truth. "This family business is my hard work, naturally it should be passed on to my son to inherit, those who think that meritocracy should be used, it is simply a bad brain, Lao Tzu's family business, why should it be given to outsiders, what does it have to do with me whether he is virtuous or not? Xiao Tao is too much like me, if he gets the Cao Gang in the future, he will definitely not let my son live a good life with money, and at the least, he will ask them to hand over the family property to the Cao Gang before leaving, so he has to die. His cronies also have Lao Yang's son. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easiest to spend a few people. But the others, I will put them back later today, and just say that the Ninth Master bought them with silver. Now, they have to suffer something. ”

Zhao Jiuxiong said: "Since you want me to accept these people, why wait for the evening to release them back, wouldn't it be better if you put them back now?" ”

"Ninth Master, what you said is wrong. Now that they are put back, they will only feel why the Ninth Master didn't send troops to rescue them last night, and why they were allowed to be locked up in prison by the Jinyi Guard and beaten all night. Some people will also think that what happened on the dock was not done by the Ninth Master and Jinyiwei, otherwise, why didn't the gang react at all, and let everyone kill people and take the goods on the ship. ”

"After they had been locked up in the guard for a day and a night, they didn't have the heart to think about it, the only thing they thought about was when they would get out of here. Believe me, Wei Li doesn't feel good at all, as long as you rescue them, you are their life-saving father, and you are the father and mother of the reborn parents. In the future, even if someone wants to question what happened on the docks, they will be the first to jump out and help you. ”

"Shengmien, Doumien?" Zhao Jiuxiong is an old Jianghu, as soon as Yang Chengzu said it, he reacted.

"That's right, it's Shengmien, fighting Mi Hatred. I won't say how much they used to bail it out, and you don't have to say it yourself, let them guess. Everyone wants to be worth a little more, so the price you spend to save them will become bigger and bigger, and in their hearts, this number will increase infinitely. I promise, it won't be long before your nickname of Yi Bo Yuntian Sai Meng Wei will definitely spread on the dock, and when Ling Lang takes this plate in the future, as long as they don't die, they will all be Ling Lang's hardcore henchmen. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jiuxiong looked at Yang Chengzu for a long time, and suddenly said: "Young Master Yang, I, Zhao Lao Jiujianghu, am old, but I don't see many young people like you who are so powerful." I am also thin and have furniture, and I also have a bit of identity in the rivers and lakes, you can consider it, marry my daughter. ”
