Chapter 47: Where Profiteering Comes In?
Cui Zhi did not go to court, Miao Pin promised not to pick her identity as a tall and short student, and let her wait outside the hall obediently.
Someone shouted just now, and she heard it immediately.
What does this mean? Don't let people profit from it?!
She glared at the man, only to find that it was not only the man, but many other people who said, "...... A bucket of rice takes one penny, fifty stone rice, which is five hundred yuan, more than thirty taels of silver! Gee! And that's not all! ”
Oops?
Cui Zhi looked at a group of Xiucai in shock, just now in Song's Restaurant, she still thought that this group of people was so cute, why did she look at them all greasy and greasy, so annoying?
What is more than thirty taels, she only has food in her hands, how can she have money?! She didn't see a single copper plate!
She was about to retort, but a cold voice came from the hall.
"Although this Wei family child has never violated the law of Daxing, but he uses the law of deception to make huge profits, and the county Zun Ying has also heard the discussion of everyone outside the hall, how should this be judged?"
The one who said this was not someone else, of course it was Wang Fu.
As soon as he said this, he suddenly turned into a spokesperson for a group of people who listened to the show.
Li Fan just wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, and he couldn't.
Li Fan did not reply to Wang Fu's question about how to judge, glanced at Wei Ming in the hall, and saw that the child was still like a genius, without any anxiety on his face, and said to him: "What do you say about this matter?" ”
"The grass people thought that there was nothing to say about this matter." Wei Ming said.
As soon as these words came out, it was as if a torch had been thrown outside the hall, and it immediately burst into flames.
"Why is there nothing to say? You kid, squeeze the villagers, deceive the grain merchants, and make huge profits! Very much said! The first person to make a point shouted.
Cui Zhi couldn't help but cover his face, it would be good for Lord Wei to explain a little bit, so as not to be attacked by the crowd!
But she was outside the hall, and she couldn't persuade Master Wei inside, so she only glanced at the noisy person again, and suddenly remembered that when Gao Xiaosheng said that Cui Qiye exchanged nine coins of silver for food, it was this person who asked, why not exchange it for two coins at the original price!
It's just that at that time, this person couldn't take advantage of it, and was pressed down by Miao Pin, and now, this person seems to have pinched the "reason".
Someone patted this person, "Xing Bei, your brain is spinning fast enough!" ”
That Xing Bei snorted, looking indignant, "It's all profiteers who harm people, you can't let them suck blood!" ”
As he spoke, he shouted to the hall, "Wu Na Xiao'er, if you don't make it clear, you will spit out all the money, and you can't lose a penny!" ”
Cui Zhi was stunned!
This Xing Bei was full of anger, and there were a few people below him who followed him and shouted.
Cui Zhi was yelled at by these people, and they all doubted his life.
At the beginning, Wei Ming had proposed that she trade at the parity of eight coins, she felt that Wei Ming was too honest and honest, but now it seems that Wei Ming can't be more enlightened, she said that he was moved in two sentences, and this group of noisy people, she felt that she couldn't say anything about two cars.
What to do?
This group of people is still a showman, Wei Ming will study the imperial examination with this group of people in the future, but now it is not clear, he has a bad reputation, and he will not be discriminated against in the future?
Cui Zhi suddenly wavered a little, if she hadn't earned this difference, Master Wei, who had taken care of everything, would not have been attacked by the group......
Xing Bei and a few people shouted "spit out money", Cui Zhi hated to gag their mouths, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Wei Ming through the cracks, Wei Ming turned around, towards everyone, towards that Xing Bei.
"I don't have any money, I don't have a penny."
Xing Bei and the others were stunned for a moment, and suddenly became even more indignant, "Okay, you kid, you have the money and you will spend it in a blink of an eye!" For such profiteers, the county will be severely punished! ”
He shouted below, Li Fan was a little embarrassed, and even Miao Pin wanted to open his mouth to speak for Wei Ming, but he couldn't open his mouth under the momentum of this group of people.
You must know that Xing Bei is from a talented background, and when he goes to court, he doesn't have to kneel.
And Wang Fu, who pulled Xing Bei and others onto the field, finally felt happy in his chest.
Now no one cares about the grain chief, the chief armor, the catcher and his affairs, what everyone sees is the childish profiteer of the Wei family!
The public court is such a place, one word floats, one word sinks.
It's just that childish child, why does he still look like he is out of the world?
Where did he get this composure?
Wang Fu squinted at Wei Ming, and Wei Ming opened his mouth.
"I don't have any money at home, it's not that I spend it cleanly. Rather, I exchanged salt for rice, from which I earned only grain, and no money. ”
He explained well, but Xing Bei's brain was also very fast, "Xiao'er Hugh wants to confuse the public!" Isn't food valuable? You've earned five stone Yangzhou rice! ”
Wei Ming shook his head lightly, "I exchanged nine coins with the villagers for grain, and the villagers exchanged one pound of salt for three liters of three in three spoons and three handfuls of rice, and the Wei family directly took three liters of three in four spoons to calculate, and at present, fifty stones were exchanged for grain, and I only had four stones, four buckets and five liters." ”
That Xing Bei didn't wait for Wei Ming to finish speaking, and then snorted, "This is still your conscience, but it can't cover up your profiteering behavior!" Hurry up and spit out the money and food, maybe the county can still be punished lightly! ”
When he said this, he gave Wei Ming a step down, in this case, most people were willing to scatter their wealth and eliminate disasters, but he looked at Wei Ming, everyone looked at Wei Ming, and Wei Ming shook his head again.
Xing Bei's eyes widened, "You kid ......"
Wei Ming opened his mouth to stop his words.
"I have only four stones, four buckets, and five liters of rice, and I must first divide five buckets to the person who carries salt and grain for me. Moreover, my aunt and sister at home, because I went out to trade and no one took care of me, I could only ask the villagers, and I also had to pay for it with food, which was temporarily counted as five liters, and these days my family and the transportation of people to eat, which was counted as a bucket, and now I was wrongfully imprisoned, and no one cared about it at home, and there must be no shortage of villagers who were worried and worried, and came to ask for food. In this way, the seven buckets of grain have been eliminated, and only three stones, seven buckets and five liters remain. ”
These words left people inside and outside the hall speechless for a while.
Many farmers who have land to grow are reluctant to go out to do business. Running around hard, family members not being able to reunite, and getting into lawsuits at every turn make people shy away from making money.
What Wei Ming said, they have to admit, is indeed the case.
Only Xing Bei snorted again, "How much is the rice in Yangzhou worth in the next year with three stones and seven buckets, won't I settle the account when I wait?" ”
Wei Ming heard this, looked at him, and continued: "I and the villagers exchanged salt for grain, and every family has grain in their hands, and then there is relief from the imperial court, the price of grain will inevitably fall, and the grain in my hands will no longer be worth much, according to the previous day, it may be worth twenty taels, but according to normal years, it is only five taels." ”
Twenty taels is not too much, and five taels is in front of thousands of catties of salt, which is really a small profit.
This time, although Xing Bei was not convinced, he did not rush to speak.
Wei Ming said again: "And my own family does not have an elder to support the court, this is less than four stones of rice, and it still needs to be eaten for a few months, and there are one or two stones left in the coming year, and the price of rice is flat, and the money sold is only a little." ”
Yes, two stones of grain, according to the normal price of rice, can be sold for two taels and eight dollars of silver, which is not enough for a family to chew for a season!
There was silence inside and outside the hall, Wei Ming's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell back to Xing Bei's face, "Where is the profiteering?" ”
Where does the profiteering come from?
This question touched everyone's heart, and it was more like a hammer hitting Xing Bei's skull.
Xing Bei is the most calculated, especially after being cheated by a profiteer in his family and bankrupting his family, he always has an abacus in his head.
He heard Wei Ming calculate the accounts one by one, and he wanted to reprimand him for talking about him, but when he heard the end, he couldn't speak.
Where does the profiteering come from?
Not only did there be no huge profits, but after being busy, he only barely got some small profits for food and clothing.
Xing Bei stopped talking, and the people who followed him couldn't open their mouths. After a moment of silence, the talents began to chatter.
Cui Zhi patted his little hand lightly and thought silently: "Master Wei is really a little expert in settling accounts!" But I'm going to cry! I'm so busy that I don't have any money left...... Hey, hey! ”
There was no clamor outside the hall, and the discussion began, and the situation in the hall that originally questioned Wei Ming couldn't help but collapse.
