Chapter 614: Rising Food Prices
"What do I mean? Could it be that you really think that the news that is about to be announced is good news for us, dream! Chen said coldly.
"You ......" The villagers beside her were very angry when they heard this.
But before they could speak, Xu Yi's figure appeared in front of everyone, and under the eyes of the villagers, the village chief stepped forward step by step on the high platform.
"Chen Hui, the answer will be announced in a while, don't be too complacent!" Aunt Fan didn't know when she came behind Chen Hui.
Obviously, Aunt Fan listened to what she said just now, and she still remembered the things that were used by Chen Hui before, and finally the two stood in opposite places again.
"It's you?" Chen turned around and saw Aunt Fan and a few familiar women beside her.
Chen Hui's eyes narrowed slightly: "Hmph, then we'll see." ”
On the other side, Ji Yuwei followed Xu Yi to the side of the high platform, and the condescending Yuwei soon saw Chen's movement in the crowd.
Her heart moved, and immediately Jiujun flew there with a tacit understanding.
Soon, Ji Yuwei got the news from Chen Hui's side.
Jiujun: "Master, the Chen family is betting on the quality of this news." ”
"It seems that she decided that this announcement was only a disadvantage for them, right?"
Without waiting for the little guy to say the following words, Yu Wei had already guessed Chen Hui's thoughts.
Seeing that Jiujun didn't make a sound, Yu Wei knew that she had guessed correctly, and in the next second, her gaze fell on Chen Hui through the crowd. "Then look at the embarrassment of her when she learned the truth!"
Glancing, Yu Wei quickly retracted her gaze.
Chen squeezed in the middle of the crowd, and vaguely noticed a gaze, so she kept staring at her, but by the time she noticed that she was looking around, those eyes had already moved away.
Subconsciously fell on Ji Yuwei on the high platform, but now Yuwei was busy greeting other villager representatives.
Could it be her delusion? Chen asked secretly in his heart.
Just when everyone looked at the high platform with curiosity, the village chief Xu Yi finally spoke: "Villagers, let everyone wait for a long time, and now I will announce the latest news in the county." ”
When Xu Yi's words fell, everyone present was silent.
The atmosphere around suddenly fell silent.
Xu Yi opened the letter he received and read it out in front of everyone: "Starting this year, in order to reduce the burden of taxation, the price of grain will rise by 40 ......percent."
"Forty percent, I heard you right!"
"That is to say, what was purchased in the past for five taels is now going to be sold for seven taels of silver? So after we pay our taxes, we will have more money than before. ”
"This is definitely great news for us."
The quiet crowd, after Xu Yi announced the news, the crowd on the field joined the discussion again.
After announcing the news, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the joyful smiles on the faces of the villagers in the audience.
Ji Yuwei maintained a faint smile and moved her gaze to Chen Hui again.
"Haha, such good news is really timely, how about Chen Hui, now see what else you have to say!" While being happy, Aunt Fan and her sisters did not forget their business.
As soon as the news came out, she asked Chen.
At this moment, Chen Hui's face was dark, Xu Yi's news was indeed excellent for them, but now that she was besieged and questioned by the people around her, she felt bad all over. "Pastoral pampering: husband, too powerful!" The latest chapters of "Paw Book House" are free to read for the first time.
