Chapter 343: Buying Fields
The cold wind blew in the alley, the burning torch flame swayed, and the group of ragged refugees huddled in the corner also surrounded at some point, although their faces were dirty, but their eyes were bright staring at Shao Huaien and his party.
Shao Huaien couldn't help but shudder, looking at Yu Jiao's bright and indifferent little face under the lights, he was a little frightened for a while.
Their Shao family has been domineering for a long time in the territory of Qingzhou business, as long as they don't provoke the Mu family and the Yang family, the others are not worth mentioning.
Who would have thought that today I touched the tiger's buttocks, a little girl from the countryside, and there was Gu Xiaohou as a backer!
Shao Huaien's eyes blinked, his mind turned a few times, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, how could he still have a rampant appearance.
"Gu ...... How could the little marquis come to Qingzhou to sell grain? Shao Huaien swallowed the saliva secreted by nervousness, and said, "You are a country girl in Changkui, how can you recognize a character like Gu Xiaohouye, if you deceive Gu Xiaohou Ye, do you know what will happen?" Even if Gu Xiaohou doesn't make a move, our Shao family also has to teach you a good lesson for Xiao Houye. ”
Yu Jiao clasped her hands around her chest and chuckled, "It's time to teach a good lesson." ”
She looked at a few guys, her expression turned cold, "Go copy the guys, this group of dogs who don't have long eyes bullied Gu Xiaohouye, if you don't teach you a good lesson, you will really be embarrassed by Xiaohouye!" ”
Steward Zhou already understood why Yu Jiao did this, the more he acted without scruples, the Shao family couldn't find out the truth, he took a few guys back to the yard quickly, and after a while, he came out with a stick in his hand, and rushed towards Shao Huaien and his party with a stick.
The refugees also rushed up, and they received the gift of food from Yu's grain shop, and at this time they reciprocated and helped drive away Shao Huaien's group.
"Steward Shao, what should we do?" The person who came with Shao Huaien asked nervously.
Seeing that the stick in someone's hand smashed on his back, Shao Huaien hurriedly said while hiding, "Go first, go first!" ”
Shao Huaien and his party fled in confusion, and the guy with the stick and the group of refugees chased him straight to the end of the alley, driving the person away.
"Miss Yu, after all, Master Gu is not in Qingzhou, let's act like this, and the Liang Zi of the Shao family is considered to be a big one, and the Shao family is afraid that they will wait for an opportunity to retaliate." Steward Zhou saw the guys coming back laughing, and said worriedly.
Yu Jiao smiled, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and if people offend me, I won't tolerate it." ”
She looked at Steward Zhou and said slowly, "Gu Yun is in Danzhou, your grain is transported to Danzhou, as long as the Shao family inquires a little, they will not be stupid, rest assured, if the Shao family really dares not to know whether they live or die, there is Gu Xiaohou to bear it!" ”
Steward Zhou listened to her brisk tone, and his mood relaxed a little, but he couldn't help but say a few more words, "The businessman is the most treacherous, I'm not afraid that they Shao Jiaming will come, I'm afraid that they are thinking of some tricks behind their backs, the girl should be careful." ”
Yu Jiao bowed, "Seeing the move, Manager Zhou doesn't have to worry about me, you go to Danzhou to see Gu Xiaohou and mention the affairs of the Shao family to Gu Yun." ”
Steward Zhou nodded, "Okay, Zhou will definitely bring the words." Although he didn't recognize Gu Xiaohou, the owner was in Danzhou, and through the owner, it was not difficult to see Gu Xiaohou.
Steward Zhou took people and drove the grain cart away again.
Yu Jiao thanked the refugees on the corner and went back to the inner courtyard with Yu Fuling.
After a good night's sleep, the next day, Yu Jiao called the refugees into the courtyard and inquired about their situation.
Most of these refugees had to come out to beg after the floods, when their houses and fields were destroyed, and the elderly and children in their families were waiting to be fed and had no food.
Yu Jiao planned to buy the field in their hands, because the field was all flooded, the sown wheat rotten roots did not sprout, and the field could not recover for a long time, and because the terrain was next to the canal, it was very likely to be flooded in the future, and it could not be sold at a good price at the moment.
These refugees also had the intention of selling their fields, but they had not been able to find suitable buyers, but there were large families who were willing to buy the fields, but the rich man had to buy the original 1221 acres of land.
The farmer who has served the farmer all his life treats the field as if it were a child, and where he is willing to sell it so cheaply, the rich man is not in a hurry, he is in such a hurry, and he will still come back to him to sell the field when these people can't survive.
The refugees knew the rich man's intentions, but they couldn't do anything, and several people had gone to the rich man to sell the land in the past few days.
Yu Jiao heard what the refugees said, thought for a while, and said loudly, "I will buy the land in your hands at the price of four taels and one mu of land, are you willing?" ”
When the refugees in the courtyard heard this, they couldn't hide their excitement, lowered their heads and whispered, they are all from the villages near the Lanshu Canal, most of them know each other, Yu Jiao's price for this field is already extremely high, I am afraid that no one will be willing to pay this price.
The crowd scrambled to say, "I'm willing to sell!" ”
"I'm willing to sell too!"
A woman asked with a stern expression, "Good girl, I ...... I want to ask something. ”
Yu Jiao looked at her and said, "You say." ”
