Chapter 644: Robbery while the fire is on

The cavalry generals were so loud that all the rice merchants and high-rollers were shocked, and they all dodged the road to let the group pass, until the smoke and dust of the cavalry and horses dissipated at the end of the street, and they came to their senses. Then there was a burst of uncontrollable chaos that spread through the trading positions and the yards.

The soap subordinates of Longtan County had already been instructed by the county commander Chen Wenzhi to come early, just waiting for the Three Guards to ruthlessly expose the rumors, those fools and eggs would make trouble, and then come forward to maintain order, and whoever dared to do illegal things would be arrested and imprisoned in public.

Chen Wenshan's early disposal is not superfluous, after the rice market is sold, the price of rice has plummeted, everyone hates to sell all the rice coupons in their hands, but there is no buyer, just one morning's work, the high price of rice from 142311 stone to 3 taels of silver and 1 stone, even so the transaction volume is still low and pitiful. The rice that had been more expensive than gold the day before had become as cheap as straw paper, and no one wanted to ask for it anymore.

In fact, even if the price of rice falls by three taels of silver and one stone, the grain that can be exchanged for huàn by the rice coupons in the hands of the high-roller rice merchants is still extremely objective and amazing, but how much is the difference between this and the cost of the previous investment more than one or two times? It is not difficult to understand the psychological feeling that the parties have disgusted and have to hold in their hands for the rice coupons that hurt them a lot.

It's just that the wolf-like soaps are not soft-hearted, as long as one person dares to make trouble, and no matter what his identity or background, he will be locked up and immediately sent to prison. But even so, it couldn't stand the madness of the bankrupts among the rice merchants and high-rollers, and I don't know who set the entire trading warehouse on fire with a fire, but fortunately, it was extinguished in time and did not cause the danger to spread. At this time, the county commander Chen Wenzhi had been waiting outside to personally take command, and when he saw that someone was acting so recklessly, he was angry and ordered all the suspects to be arrested and returned to the prison for trial, and the rest were dispersed regardless of who they were.

However, Chen Wenshan did not expect that this disposal would bring another kind of trouble to Longtan County. It turns out that most of the high-roller rice merchants in the city are outsiders, so since the beginning of the rice price turmoil, the number of people from outside the city has increased dramatically, and the inn wine shop vendors have all made a lot of money, and some people even have more gross profit in one day than in the past six months. What a temptation is this? Therefore, the unemployed people who have a heart to be active have specialized in the business of these high-roller rice merchants.

All of a sudden, on the one hand, there are a large number of people in Longtan County who are living increasingly difficult because of the high price of rice, and on the other hand, some people have made a fortune because of this. The street market in Longtan County is intertwined with this contradiction, and it is unusually prosperous, if there are people who do not know the inside story to come here, they must think that this small Longtan County, rich and prosperous, is not even inferior to Hangzhou, the capital of the river.

However, this kind of deformed development and prosperity was brought back to the prototype overnight under the hot hand of Chen Wenshan, because the county government forcibly closed down the rice market, how could the vast majority of high-roller rice merchants be willing, and gathered in the streets and alleys to protest, there is a great tendency to erupt.

This situation lasted until Shen Shi, and Chen Wenzhi could no longer sit still, for fear of provoking a popular uprising, so he took the soap Li to escort him and rushed to the military camp outside the city to ask Li Xin for help, hoping to borrow troops from the town. Suppress the troublesome high-roller rice merchants.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin reprimanded him one by one, "To be in politics, you have to be relaxed, and you only know how to blindly suppress it, isn't it in vain to read the words of the sage?" ”

Li Xin's reprimand for the donkey's lips was not the horse's mouth, and Chen Wenzhi also felt very embarrassed and ugly when he heard this martial artist teach himself a sage, in fact, he did not follow the sage's words to herd. So, he had no choice but to be respectful and grovel to admit his mistake and ask for advice.

"Please also ask the Marquis of Zhenyu to teach me."

Li Xin snorted coldly in his nose, no wonder this idiot has been a small county magistrate for more than ten years, and it is difficult to make progress in size. I almost ruined my own big thing...

"First, the ban on trading rice will be lifted and reopened. Second, reassure the people and not let them go to extremes. Third, deal with the rumor-mongers, and make the people angry..."Then Li Xin's voice was lowered, and he instructed earnestly: "You must know that cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing your parents... Is it so difficult to say a few kind words when you get a benefit? If you have to force people to a dead end, is it idle that your life is long? ”

After Li Xin's reminder, Chen Wenshan suddenly broke into a cold sweat, on the one hand, he hated these people for almost harming his family and dismissed his office, and on the other hand, because of the orthodox identity of scholars, he looked down on these unrighteous businessmen who only knew what to say. That's why there was a spicy hand disposal that was almost like falling into a well at noon. Now that I have calmed down, I do feel that the disposal is inconsiderate.

But then he was shocked again, and dealing with the rumor-mongers was not just dealing with Hu Liu? Chen Wenzhi peeked at Li Xin, although he was tired of him, but in the final analysis, he was the brother of his favorite concubine, and he was the one who arranged for him to do it in accordance with the intention of the marquis, is it not a little unkind to do this? But then he was angry, if it wasn't for his greed for money and good deeds, how could he be forced to be involved? He is just remedy, and he is to blame for his current fate... With such thoughts, Chen Wenshan's heart was much calmer.

However, if the rice market is opened again, what will happen to those people who make trouble again?

Chen Wenshan's heart was in confusion, and he snorted, not knowing whether to ask or not. Li Xin saw his virtue, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said: "After you go back, you can do it according to the regulations I said......

Hearing that Li Xin was about to say how to deal with it, Chen Wenshan's spirit suddenly burst into a burst, and he listened carefully and calmly.

"First, reopen the rice market, and no trading restrictions will be imposed on rice merchants. Second, do a good job in dealing with the aftermath in a timely manner, and those who have lost all their money can subsidize their travel expenses to return to their hometowns. The third ......" Li Xin said here and raised his voice again, "This third point is extremely important, if you implement it properly, you can make another profit..."

These words made Chen Wenshan's brain dizzy again, and now he was already in a state of turmoil among the people, how could he still make another profit in the mouth of the marquis? Take advantage of the fire? He was also right, indeed, he was robbing while the fire was burning.

"After the rice market is reopened, you, you will make an announcement in the name of supervising the yamen, and buy the rice coupons in the hands of the rice merchants, can the price be added...... 20% of the average trading price after the market closes on the day. ”

Chen Wenshan coughed dryly, "Most of the rice coupons in the hands of rice merchants are bought from the price of more than ten taels of rice, but now the price of rice has fallen below three taels of silver and one stone, even if it is added to two percent, it is a drop in the bucket for them, can they sell the rice coupons in their hands?" ”

Li Xin sneered and asked rhetorically: "If you don't sell it, do you have to pay a sum of money for the journey?" ”

Chen Wenshan suddenly realized that many of the high-rollers came from Su, Song, Chi, Ning, Hui and other state capitals. However, due to the rice turmoil in Nanjing, a lot of rice from other provinces has already been shipped, and the supply has long been oversupplied, so even if the rice coupons owed to the original owner are exchanged for this large amount of rice, they cannot be sold on the spot, and they have to hire people to transport the rice to other places for sale.

Chen Wenshan finally understood Li Xin's intentions thoroughly, and secretly slandered him, and the idea of making trouble for a long time to suppress the Hou Hou was actually the idea of damaging each family and enriching his family. Then he smacked his tongue and sighed, even if he robbed the house, there was no way to make money quickly, right? Alas, if you don't accept it, the Hou Zhen is really a murderer without seeing blood, and it is not illegal to rob money...

After leaving the barracks and returning to the city, it was already time to hold the lights. Chen Wenshan issued a notice overnight, announcing the reopening of the rice market, and introduced a set of measures for the aftermath of the resettlement. It's really incredible that the troublemakers of the high-rollers and rice merchants have really calmed down. As a result, Chen Wenshan is even more convinced of Li Xinyue, for the turbulent public opinion, it is really better to block it, such predecessors have already summed up the proverbs of I don't know how many years, how can I not remember it when I come to the end?

Early the next morning, as Li Xin said, the price of rice continued to fall after the resumption of the market, and people no longer had any desire to buy, and the full warehouse was full of sellers. On the first day, some people were already in a hurry to sell all the remaining rice coupons of little value in their hands to the fearless Inspector Yamen, and in just one day's work, Chen Wenshan received nearly 80,000 stone of grain. When the total amount of money and rice came in and out at night, even he couldn't help but be surprised, and the amount of silver that went out through his hands in one day had reached more than 200,000 taels.

For seven days in a row, Chen Wenzhi almost spent all the money he had earned in the past few days, but there were still a large number of rice coupons waiting to be purchased by the Yamen, and there were even rice merchants and high-rollers who took the path of Master and Hu Liu. He took the opportunity to scold the master for a bloody death, and distributed a whole year's worth of money, bluntly saying that it would be good to get together and disperse, and their guest of honor would end here...

The master naturally knew that he was at fault first, and he used the money behind his back without authorization, and almost implicated the proprietor in a place of no return. It was not until this moment that the master regretted the beginning, and couldn't help crying, and even knelt on the ground and asked Chen Wenzhi to give him a chance to atone for his sins, even if he didn't collect the curtain money, he couldn't ask for it.

Chen Wenshan was also quite moved, remembering that when the master was the most wolf, he didn't throw away the bag, and his heart softened.

As for his attitude towards Hu Liu, Chen Wenzhi was completely different, not only did he not see this person, but he also asked his family to pass on the original words, scolded him for being bloody, and told him not to appear in front of him in the future. After doing so, Chen Wenshan felt that it was insufficient, and he asked people to send their favorite concubines back to their parents' homes that day.

All kinds of signals have been spread, and everyone already knows that this dignified county lord wants to deal with this brother of the concubine who spreads rumors and makes trouble, Hu Liu, who is used to being a fox and a fake tiger.
