The price increase of some rice banks Wen Zhesang let the dog mother press it first, if the people in the good hall know, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Then she didn't rush back to the yamen, asked Gouziniang about the shop where she bought rice, and instructed Xie Yikou to invite someone.

It is said that spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, but in this warm spring day, farmers dare not sleep more. The fields in the northern suburbs are planted later than in other places, and they need to hurry up and sow the seeds in the spring, so that this autumn may have a good harvest.

In addition to busy farmers, the streets are mostly filled with shops with wide open doors. The afternoon sun was dizzy, and in Hu Ji's rice shop, the shopkeeper dozed off behind the counter. Xiao Er also stared and yawned.

Suddenly, a shadow gathered at the door of the wide open store, and Xiao Er suddenly came to his senses when he heard the footsteps, his eyes were still confused, and he already took care of it: "Welcome, welcome!" What does the guest officer want to see? We have all kinds of rice grains in our store, you see the Yuanjiang rice in Yuan County, the grains are full, boiled out, and it is very fragrant! ”

He looked at it randomly, but he didn't see anyone clearly, but saw the fast trapping suit Xie Yikou was wearing. With the idea that "officials and masters are rich", he recommended the best rice in the shop.

The shopkeeper adapted to Xiao Er's loud voice, turned sideways behind the counter, tilted his head, and was not affected at all.

"What's noisy, be quiet." Xie Yikou was so frightened by Xiao Eryi's throat that he fell asleep, and his ears were also "buzzing".

Xiao Er hurriedly smiled, "Master forgive sins, forgive sins, what does the master want to see?" ”

Xie Yikou looked into the shop, and there was not much grain on display, and the rest should be stored in the warehouse. The store is not big, and there is only one shopkeeper and a small two. The shop is cleaned up, and looking at the furnishings inside, it can be seen that the business is good.

"Someone to hire - that's your shopkeeper?" Xie Yikou raised his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man snoring behind the counter.

Xiao Er's mind was confused: "This ...... It's the shopkeeper, that's right, the official master is ......" He looked up and down at Xie Yikou's clothes, thinking that his shopkeeper had committed something, and hurriedly ran to the counter and shook the person awake.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, wake up!"

"Hey...... Got business? The shopkeeper woke up slowly, and he didn't know what was going on.

Xiao Er didn't know much either, so he asked Xie Yikou stubbornly: "Dare to ask Master Guan, why do you want to find my shopkeeper?" ”

"What? Who's looking for me? The shopkeeper blinked and came to his senses, and when he saw Xie Yikou, his face changed slightly, and he thought in his heart, he had opened a rice shop in this county for more than ten years. The neighbors came to buy rice, but they had never done a bastard thing with a shortage of catties and pounds, but this catch quickly put on a stinky face...... Could it be that something happened?

The poor shopkeeper had just woken up, his mind was not very clear, and he had preconceived ideas, and regarded Xie Yikou as one of those vicious servants when Wang De was in office.

Without waiting for Xie Yikou to speak, the shopkeeper took out a few pieces of broken silver from the counter and pushed them in front of Xie Yikou, "Official, please smile." I don't know what happened next? ”

Isn't there something wrong with this person's brain?

Xie Yikou had a rare crack on his face, "Who said you committed a crime?" The county magistrate is invited, Hu shopkeeper, please. As he spoke, he flicked the broken silver back to the shopkeeper in disgust, "Hurry up, your lord is already waiting." ”

When Shopkeeper Hu heard this, his mind became even more confused, he knew that there was a new county order in the county, and that county order had done a lot for the people. I've been cultivating the temple recently, ah, isn't there a person who works in the temple to buy rice today? Isn't it for that?

The shopkeeper was messy and thought wildly, but he really guessed a lot.

"You can't keep the county magistrate waiting." Shopkeeper Hu greeted Xiao Erdao, "Ah Le, quickly, close the shop, you go with me." ”

"Huh! Got it. Ah Le looked at Xie Yikou's expression and saw that although he was a little impatient, he had already walked outside the door and waited. It seems that this should not be a "Hongmen banquet".

Shopkeeper Hu and Ah Le quickly cleaned up and closed the shop, and the three of them went straight to Tingyu Building under the leadership of Xie Yikou, went to the private room on the second floor, and really saw Wen Zhesang.

"The grass people have seen the county magistrate."

"Grass, grass people have seen and seen the county commander!"

Shopkeeper Hu and Ah Le have only heard of Wen Zhesang's name, but they have never seen her once. Now that I see her, I didn't expect her to be such a young woman. Shopkeeper Hu is better, he has lived for most of his life, and he has seen a lot of ups and downs.

Ah Le was stunned, stumbled and asked for peace, and secretly looked at Wen Zhesang from time to time.

So young, so ...... Such a kind county order is really unimaginable.

"Please get up." Wen Zhe Sang Road.

There was a porcelain vase on the table near the window, and a freshly broken peach blossom branch was inserted in it. Ah Le helped the shopkeeper Hu to get up, and was about to take a second look, but who knew that it was dark in front of him, and it was the murderous face who brought them over to stop him.

Xiao Er in the teahouse pushed open the door, put on a pot of hot tea, and retreated lightly.

"I don't know why the adults are looking for the grass people?" Shopkeeper Hu boasts of reading countless people, but he can't be asked to guess what a person he just met is thinking out of thin air, right? The county ordered the adults not to speak, so they could only let him ask by himself.

Shopkeeper Hu has no bottom in his heart, and he looks like he has hung more than a dozen buckets.

Wen Zhesang: "It's a big matter, shopkeeper Hu, this little brother, why don't we sit down and talk?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu and Ah Le glanced at each other, and slowly moved to the table and sat down.

Seeing that the two of them were so nervous, Wen Zhisang smiled: "It happened suddenly, and I didn't let the two of you be mentally prepared, it was me who was abrupt." ”

Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." If you have anything to do, please tell me, but the grass people are just merchants, and they are soft-spoken, so they may not be able to help the adults. ”

"No, you have to have the help of Shopkeeper Hu in this matter." Wen Zhesang explained, "Shopkeeper Hu should know that the county is repairing the good hall recently, and there are already many people living in it. Food and clothing are not a small expense. I went to Shantang today to see it, and I heard Liang Xu say that she went to Hu Shopkeeper's shop today to buy rice. ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Hu was busy defending himself, "It's right to have this matter, but my lord knows that the grass people didn't give her a shortage of catties." ”

Wen Zhesang's face did not change, and he only chuckled: "I haven't finished talking yet, Shopkeeper Hu can make a decision after listening." Liang Xu also told me that the shopkeepers of the rice shops she went to first, which were controlled by wealthy families, had raised the price for her. Thinking about it this way, it should be those rich people who benefit from it. I am also grateful to the shopkeeper Hu for not falling into the well and taking advantage of the fire to rob. So I have a big business here, and I want to ask the meaning of the shopkeeper. ”

"Adult, my lord wants to ......" Shopkeeper Hu thought of something, and he couldn't believe it, "But the grass people only have one shop, and the rich families in the county have a big business, so they can't look down on this star." ”

"Since it's big business, how can there be only this little thing? The rich people were probably dissatisfied with me, so they took the opportunity to suppress Shantang. If the charity hall wants to continue, food, clothing, housing and transportation must be the same, at least, there are many things that need to be purchased. That's why I want the good church to abandon the shops controlled by the wealthy and buy food supplies from private households such as Hu Zhang. Moreover, if the yamen takes the lead in supporting private businesses, the people will support me even if they look at my face. Won't private businesses be able to compete with the rich? Qingfeng County, in the final analysis, is still the people in charge. ”

Shopkeeper Hu looked at Wen Zhesang, and I have to say that this plan is very exciting. It is not difficult for a small merchant like him to gain a foothold in Qingfeng County, but it is really ...... if he wants to get ahead Let's just say that his rice shop has been open for more than ten years, isn't there only that small façade? Sometimes I can't make ends meet.

Besides, when Wang De was in office, the yamen was really hated, but on the contrary, as soon as the Wen county commander came, he took drastic measures to keep the yamen in order. She has done everything for the benefit of the people, and her status in the eyes of the people is probably very high. If the people were grateful, they would support her choice.

In the flash of light, Shopkeeper Hu thought of everything. He clasped one hand on the table, picked up the tea in front of him and drank it down. "Adults can give the grass people this opportunity, and the grass people are unforgettable. Please give the grass people three days, and after three days, the grass people will definitely convince the private merchants in the county to let them know the good intentions of the adults. ”

Shopkeeper Hu is over 100 and a half years old, and he thought that this life would be spent in such a mess, but he didn't expect that just one transaction would give him such a good opportunity. If you don't catch it, you will really live for decades in vain!

Wen Zhesang just likes to talk to such a smart person who knows the current affairs, in fact, this plan is still risky, she believes that the shopkeeper Hu has been in business for more than ten years, and he should be able to understand it. "It's best that Shopkeeper Hu can think like this. But what I want is an honest businessman, those who are cheating and cheating, and who are short of catties and pounds, don't need to be informed by the shopkeeper. ”

The shopkeeper Hu seems to have removed a shackle, and it is like an old tree, which suddenly came to life due to a timely rain.

"Adults just rest assured, Lao Hu has been in business for more than ten years, not to mention anything else, which one is good and which one is bad in the peers, it is clear." In addition to the excitement, there is no difference in identity.

Far away from Tingyu Tower, Ah Le couldn't help but look over there. Shopkeeper Hu had calmed down, and seeing him raise his hand like this was a slap on the back of his head. "Look at what to see, walk well!"

Ah Le touched the back of his head and frowned, "Second uncle, why don't I understand what you just said to the county magistrate?" But...... Hey, hey, the county magistrate looks so good, and he speaks well, and he won't give us a face. ”

"You know what?" Shopkeeper Hu recalled Wen Zhesang's unfazed appearance, and his heart was slowly a little shocked, and he was silent for a moment, he said, "This Wen County Order is not simple. ”

"Huh? I think it's quite simple, didn't you also say it, second uncle, Lord Wen is wholeheartedly for the country and the people, she is really a good official. ”

Shopkeeper Hu glanced at Ah Le with pity, what a good child, why is he a little lacking in heart!
