Chapter 102: Mildew
A greasy middle-aged rough man, holding a small dagger looking for death and life......
The soldiers and the coachmen all looked at Lao Jin speechlessly......
Shao Beicheng's voice was like ice: "You want witnesses? Okay, I'll find it for you! ”
After the armor was arraigned, the gentry and merchants of Tongcheng came one after another.
The prefect of Ma was also surrounded by officials.
Seeing that there are more and more people, Lao Jin's heart is becoming more and more stable: with so many pairs of eyes watching, even if the Shao family is powerful, even if the Shen family is rich in the world, General Shao Xiao and Lord Yushi can't wronged him at will!
The armor prepared baskets and scales, and the scribes laid paper and polished ink.
After everyone greeted the prefect of Ma, Jia Yushi casually pointed to a bag of rice on the first grain cart.
Then a soldier lifted the sack of rice, cut it with a sword, and poured it into a bamboo basket.
Beige yellowish with green mold spots.
The unpleasant smell of mildew quickly dispersed in the hot air.
Moldy old rice was sent to make military rations......
Can you eat it?
The onlookers looked at Lao Jin with complicated eyes and whispered.
Lao Jin stammered and argued: "Everyone, you don't know that the rice in the south is not as storable as the quinoa in the north, and it is susceptible to moisture and staleness......
"This mold is gone after a few days in the sun, and it is no different from fresh rice when cooked!"
Jia Yushi clenched his hands into fists and shouted, "Shut up! ”
"Although there are few rice fields in the Northland, the people of the Northland have also seen rice!"
He was furious: "There is no difference between moldy rice and fresh rice?!" ”
"Nonsense, lose your conscience!"
Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the grain cart and instructed the soldiers: "Open one bag at a time!" Find out how many bags of moldy rice are in this batch of military rations, so as not to wronged this desperate rice seller! ”
Bag by bag ......
Lao Jin immediately understood: it must be because he refused to give the Shen family the guilt, and Lord Yushi wanted to borrow moldy rice to send him down!
If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!
It's just a little moldy, a group of rough men in armor, why can't they eat it?!
He didn't believe it, all the military rations sent by the Shen family were high-quality new rice!
According to the money that Young Master Xu agreed to pay him, if he sends new rice, he will definitely lose his money when he leaves!
Although the Shen family paid directly from the household......
But if you buy new rice, you won't be able to make a few silver dollars!
So, what did the Shen family rely on to make their fortune?
Since General Shao Xiao and Lord Yushi want to rectify him......
He dragged the Shen family into the water......
In this way, if they want to protect the Shen family, they can no longer pursue the matter of mildew......
Lao Jin turned his heart sideways, ran a few steps, knelt in front of Ma Zhifu and said: "Qingtian Lord Mingjian, the military rations are limited, and the villain not only wants to buy rice and grain, but also needs to hire people to send them all the way from Jiangnan to Tongcheng, and the losses along the way are incalculable!" ”
"Therefore, the quality of this military ration is not as good as the new rice in the shop!"
"Military rations have always been like this, if Lord Yushi wants to ask for guilt, the villain is really not convinced!"
"If the adults don't believe what the villain says, you can open a warehouse and look at the military rations sent by the Shen family in the first half of the year, and you can see it at a glance!"
The amount of military rations is limited, and military rations have always been like this, and the condition cannot be compared with the new rice in the shops......
Lao Jin's words also sound a little reasonable......
Just open a warehouse and look at the military rations sent by the Shen family in the first half of the year......
So, it is clear at a glance whether the military rations are limited and can only be filled with moldy rice, or whether the old gold is consumed by the desire for profit and indiscriminately filled.
It's just that the matter of opening a position is simple to say, but it is not......
Although this military grain warehouse is within the boundaries of Tongcheng, it is a military asset, and it should be under the control of the defending general, that is, General Shao Xiao.
If General Shao Xiao is determined to defend the Shen family today and refuses to open a position, then Governor Ma can't do anything about it......
It was the excerpt of the impeachment of General Shao Xiao written by the Governor of Ma overnight, and he was sent to Beijing as soon as possible...... So what?
The Western Liao is eyeing the ......
At such a time, how could the emperor easily blame General Shao Xiao?
Lao Jin looked at Ma Zhifu with begging eyes.
The onlookers all looked at Lao Jin sympathetically.
If Governor Ma is a good official who is willing to speak for the people and has integrity, he may compete with General Shao Xiao......
Kema Prefect ......
Governor Ma gave Shao Beicheng a look, then lowered his face and scolded Lao Jin: "You profiteer! ”
"Dare to use moldy rice to fill military rations, but still do not repent after being discovered, what military rations have always been like this, and accuse the Shen family for no reason!"
"Everyone in the world knows that the Shen family has sent military rations for decades, and there has never been a mistake, how can you make false accusations at will?!"
"Still talking about opening a position......"
"The military food warehouse of the Great Zhou, how can you open it if you say it?!"
Lao Jin's face turned pale and he sat down on the ground in despair.
At court one hand will wash the other......
How could the prefect offend General Shao Xiao for him?
He shouldn't have had extravagant hopes......
At this time, he only regretted not being at the beginning......
He shouldn't have taken this business!
Young Master Xu drank flower wine comfortably and listened to small songs in Jiangnan, and he made a lot of profits......
He worked hard to make a small profit, but now he is facing prison, and it is very likely that his life will be lost!
What kind of world is this?!
After his disaster, the family must have had a hard time making a living, and in the end he could probably only sell himself into slavery......
Lao Jin couldn't help crying.
Governor Ma looked at Lao Jin with disdain.
This rice dealer has such a bad brain, and he dares to learn how to do business......
This time, the military rations were the responsibility of the Xu family......
What is the situation in the harem and the previous dynasty?
King Ying and King Chen won the pearl, like fire and water.
If it weren't for Shao Beicheng's difficulty in provoking, he would have intended to find an opportunity to make a fuss about this batch of military rations......
God bless the king, God bless the Ma family......
As long as he submits this case, even if the Xu family does not fall, it will be greatly damaged......
And after he made this great achievement, he didn't have to be the cheap prefect in this small town anymore......
Ma Zhifu looked at Shao Beicheng again.
Shao Beicheng and King Chen are very good, and they have been very cold to him for most of the past six months......
Unexpectedly, this time I gave him a big gift directly!
Perhaps, the Shao family is going to bet......
Ma Zhifu became more and more agitated.
If he can help King Ying recruit Shao Beicheng into his command......
In the future, when the new lord ascends the throne and rewards his deeds, what kind of creation should he have!
Shao Beicheng glanced at Governor Ma's mansion and instructed Bingjia: "Open a position!" ”
Open a position?!
Everyone looked at Shao Beicheng in surprise.
Lao Jin stopped his tears and looked wooden.
Governor Ma refused to administer justice for him, but General Shao Xiao took the initiative to open a warehouse and make the military rations sent by the Shen family public?
It's just too weird......
What is General Shao's idea tonight?
After Bingjia opened the warehouse, according to Shao Beicheng's instructions, he carried more than ten bags of rice and grain out.
The saber cuts through the sack, and the rice is white in color and gives off a mellow rice fragrance......
People are staggered: this rice has been in the warehouse for half a year, but it is not inferior to the new rice in the rice store......
It is conceivable how good the military rations sent by the Shen family were at the beginning......
Shao Beicheng bent down and grabbed a handful of white rice, walked in front of Lao Jin, squatted down, and spread out the rice in his hand to show him: "This is the military ration sent by the Shen family!" ”
"You say you can eat mildew in the sun...... So, would you give it to your parents, wife and children? ”
Shao Beicheng's tone grew angry: "The soldiers are far away from their homeland, risking their lives, guarding the Great Zhou, guarding people like you...... Is it also an extravagant hope that we want to eat food that does not get moldy?! ”
"If the Shen family is like you, they only know the small profits, but they don't know the righteousness of the family and the country......"
"Then, there is no need for the Liao people to come in, the armor of the Great Zhou has long been poisoned by you profiteers!"
