Having said this, after the grain merchant left the Wang family, they got together to discuss. Since the government is standing by and watching, they must save themselves.

"Why don't we open a warehouse and sell grain?"

"Yes, it was Wang Xiancheng who put pressure on us to sell grain. In this way, we can also be regarded as having an explanation to Wu Ye. ”

"We're not just going to sell, we're going to cut the price. Look at the Xia family's rice shop, the means are very powerful, under the guise of restricting purchases, not only hoarding grain, but also gaining a good reputation, even thieves do not patronize her house. ”

"Then let's also have the same price, and we are limited to 3,000 catties per day?"

"I think it's feasible, anyway, Wu Ye doesn't care if we live or die, he has no loss at all, we are miserable, if we don't open the door to do business, what should we do if we are really burned by thieves? Besides, the people are hungry and crazy, maybe they dare to rob it in broad daylight, so it is better to sell it cheaper. ”

Everyone unanimously made a decision and agreed to open a position to reduce prices and sell grain.

However, selling grain is undoubtedly to quench thirst, and the top priority at the moment is to get the looted grain back and reopen land transportation in order to calm the hidden dangers in Linxian County.

Everyone hugged together to keep warm, and jointly wrote to the county, speaking sincerely, and was willing to tide over the difficulties with the government.

When the magistrate saw the petition, he felt very tearful, and regardless of the serious injury that threatened his life, he asked the official to carry him to the yamen office.

He sat on a simple bamboo sedan chair, his face haggard, wax as white as paper, and his expression was tired. The people saw that the bandage around the waist of the magistrate had been stained with blood, and the stinging red was shocking.

What a good official, he still doesn't forget the people when he is in danger.

The grain merchant wanted to ask the magistrate for an explanation, but when he saw Lu Tingxiu seriously injured and went into battle, most of the anger in his stomach suddenly disappeared, and he silently gave way.

Zhixian is seriously injured, but his efficiency is surprisingly high.

Soon, Yizhimei's sea fishing documents, as well as the letters of persuasion to return to the grain, were posted all over the main roads in the city, with sharp and precise words and sincere attitudes.

Compared with those officials who don't do personnel, the magistrate is really turbid. He said that as long as the people return to collect grain in time, they will not be held accountable.

Although, the grain merchants did not hold out much hope. It can be seen that the county's actions and attitudes have somewhat relieved people's hearts.

What is surprising is that under the vigorous and resolute action of the magistrate, led by the first chief, the chief of the army, the chief of the security, etc., the people were dispatched, and more than 10,000 catties of grain were recovered in less than half a day and returned to the owner.

10,000 catties of grain is not much, but it gives hope to the grain merchants, who not only agree to open a warehouse to sell grain, but are more willing to be allocated by the government. How to sell, how much to sell, all listen to the government, everyone watch and help each other.

It was a situation of anxiety, but as soon as the county lord made a move, it took half a day to be in order, and the subordinate officials who took the opportunity to make trouble couldn't even lift their faces.

They are still waiting, to see the jokes of the magistrates, who knows......

Xia Qiu followed Hua Ting's style, deliberately picked out men's clothes made of high-quality silk, pasted a mustache, and bought two sets of jade wrenches, and hung a big gold chain around his neck, looking like a dog.

When he arrived at the Chenghuang Temple, Ergou was very disdainful, "Sister, haven't you been robbed all the way?" ”

"Lord Lu has good governance, and Lin County is peaceful and worry-free." At any time, don't forget to hold the adults high.

"If only you had come half an hour earlier, the guy saw that you were not there, and hurried away again. But don't worry, I'll send someone to follow you. ”

Soon, the little beggar came back and said that Niu Yong and his gang had entered the Qi Mansion.

Lu Tingxiu's information is really right, they are here to talk to Wu Tongxing about robbing grain and money.

The gang in Woniuling are already poor and crazy, and it is a good opportunity to see the stitches.

Without further ado, Xia Qiu took Ergou and went directly to the inn where Niu Yong settled and waited for others.

Around noon, a group of five people returned in a huff, and it seemed that things were not going well.

"Big Brother Niu." Xia Qiu, who was sitting in the front hall waiting, beckoned to Niu Yong, "I'm waiting for you." ”

Niu Yong was stunned, but when he saw the second dog on the side, he immediately realized who the fat man in front of him was. This woman, what does she want to do?

Seeing the big gold chain on his body, the jade wrench, and the eyes of the second master glowed green, "Old Five, who is he?" "Rich people, if you do one vote, it will be enough for the brothers to eat and drink.

Xia Qiu stood beside Niu Yong and said with a smile: "He is my eldest brother, and I just recognized him yesterday." ”

The second master looked at Niu Yong, "Why didn't you hear from you yesterday?" ”

Xia Qiu hurriedly explained, "I was almost robbed yesterday, but it was Brother Niu who acted bravely. ”

The second boss looked at him suspiciously. Dare to swagger through the market after being robbed, the stupid son of a rich family, right?

Niu Yong didn't know what she would say next, so he nodded and said, "It's just a trivial matter, and I don't pay attention to it." ”

At the time of the meal, there were many diners in the front hall, the smell of vegetables wafting through the nose, and the stomachs of the hungry people were purring.

"Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner, thank Brother Niu for his heroic act yesterday." Xia Qiu, who was stupid and had a lot of money, pulled Niu Yong and left, and said generously: "How about Tianbaolou?" You can order any dishes, and you can order any wine. “

Niu Yong was about to refuse, but the second master hurriedly agreed, "Okay, then we're welcome." "I have been fasting on the mountain for too long, and I have heard that there is meat and wine, and I can bear it.

Tianbaolou, but only rich families can afford to eat.

The second dog led everyone to Tianbao Tower.

Niu Yong deliberately slowed down his pace, lowered his voice and said, "How did you find it?" ”

"Isn't it easy to find you in my territory?"

"What the hell do you want to do?" Niu Yong suppressed his anger: "It's impossible for me to betray the big boss, don't be delusional." ”

"Buying and selling is not benevolent." Xia Qiu shrugged his shoulders and said softly, "I just want to make friends with you." Don't worry, I won't let you get exposed. ”

When I arrived at Tianbaolou, the table was full of good wine and meat, and everyone threw off their arms to eat, and the dishes were served round after round.

Ergou has been immersed in the beggar circle for many years, and his ability to talk about people and talk nonsense is simply not covered. poured a few jars of wine from the second master and others, and he was already called a brother and a brother.

Niu Yong didn't know the taste, and he was on guard with twelve points, for fear that Xia Qiu would suddenly say something that shouldn't be said.

The second master was drunk and his face was flushed, and he chatted and suddenly talked to Xia Qiula, "This brother, what does your family do?" "This kind of rich person, it is still good to make more friends.

"My family does everything." Xia Qiu laughed and hurriedly toasted him, "But rice grains are the most." ”

Niu Yong's face froze, and he couldn't wait to stuff her mouth.

The second master was curious: "Do you make money by making food?" ”

"It used to be very profitable, but now it's like chicken ribs." Xia Qiu shook his head, with a look of disgust, "My family is doing upside down business, and the purchase is cheap, but the freight is too expensive, just more than 20,000 taels a year, and I only earn 5,000 taels after removing the freight." ”

Thinking of this summer and autumn, I was annoyed, "Come on, come on, don't mention bad things, I toast you." ”

"Twenty thousand taels?" The second boss dropped his jaw in shock, "Why is the freight so expensive?" ”

"It's not the bandits who lie on Niu Ling, they come out to rob grain at every turn, only Wu Ye can handle them, and he will naturally say as much as he says about the freight." Xia Qiu stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and said depressedly: "Wu Ye is amazing, he can earn 200,000 taels a year just for freight......

"II...... 100,000 taels? The second master shook his hand, and his two eyes widened, "Little brother, don't be joking." ”
