Chen Dashan was puzzled and said: "If you sell grain, you sell grain, you sell your family's grain, and you don't steal or rob it, why do you have to report it to the government?" ”

"We don't know this, it's all an order from the government.

Usually you buy less food, and you don't know about it.

I'll have to tell the owner about it this time.

I don't dare to sell it to you secretly, I can't afford the responsibility, the owner said, if you don't get it right, you will go to jail. ”

Chen Dashan said: "Then you can just say it, just send me the food directly." ”

Deng Shun immediately agreed.

As soon as Chen Dashan left with his front foot, Deng Shun hurried to find their owner with his back foot.

Their owner's surname is Qu, his name is Quyi, the word is Xinde, he is a local big landowner, and all of this thousands of acres of fertile land belong to his family.

Deng Shun told him about Chen Dashan asking for so much food.

Qu Xinde was also a little surprised, he sent a lot of food to Chen Dashan's family last time, did he use it all up?

He's here to buy food again?

And also buy so much at once?

This matter must be reported to the security chief of Qingniu Town immediately.

He hurriedly went to find the chief Niu Chengchun, and he didn't delay for a moment.

Niu Cheng Chunyi heard that someone bought thousands of catties of grain at one time, so did he still have it?

He immediately said to Qu Xinde, the young proprietor of Yongxing Grain Shop: "You have to stabilize them first, don't startle the snake." ”

Qu Xinde: ???

What not to startle the snake?

Didn't the chief tell them to report it first, and then decide whether to sell it or not?

If it's really a bandit or something, you should be aware of it now?

The grass has been beaten, and the snake is frightened.

If you really don't want to startle the snakes, shouldn't you let them sell grain first, and then send someone to inform the government?

However, he did not dare to say these words.

Although this chief Niu is not in the court, he doesn't even have a rank.

But it has real power.

is even more powerful than Li Zheng, who is just in charge of a village, but the chief is in charge of a town.

He is the county lord's right-hand man, managing all the affairs of this side.

He is not a big official, but he is very majestic, and no one dares to provoke him.

So, he pretended not to understand anything, and asked, "My lord, is there anything else to say here?" ”

Niu Chengchun stroked his beard, pretending to be unfathomable, and said: "Businessmen like you can only calculate profits all day long, where can you think about the safety of the people?"

I don't blame you, if anyone can this heart, then everyone can be an official and serve the court.

Therefore, the things that worry about the people of the world are really not something that ordinary people can do.

I know that I am not a shallow learner and can't take on this important responsibility, but the county lord values me, so I have to let me carry this beam for him.

You say, this responsibility is on our shoulders, and we can't say it if we don't carry it. ”

He sighed helplessly as he spoke, as if he was extremely reluctant.

"That's, that's, the people on this side still depend on you." Qu Xinde hurriedly flattered.

What is Niu Chengchun saying these things for?

Don't you just want to hear two words of flattery?

He said yes.

But he was in a hurry, what did he say in his heart, hurry up, go around and around, doesn't this delay things?

The fields were ploughing and preparing to plant crops, and he had to go to the villages to watch them, and he was so busy that he couldn't keep spending so much time with him.

But the chief cow was not in a hurry at all, and after listening to the flattery, he said:

"Think about it, when did we have such a big family in Qingniu Town?

The big families in the town basically have land and land, so they don't need to buy so much grain.

Why did they suddenly have to buy so much food? Where does the money come from? How many people do you have to feed?

Who feeds them? What is the purpose?

It's good if it's an ordinary relative or friend, but if it's against the imperial court......"

Niu Chengchun's face became solemn as he spoke.

Qu Xinde listened to his analysis, and instantly felt that it made sense.

It's just that he can't believe it, can Chen Dashan's family get any traitors?

Everyone is from this neighborhood, who doesn't know whom?

His family used to be a well-known family, but now it is in decline.

I think that when Mrs. Chen sold the land, he didn't lose them and gave them the money according to the full price.

At that time, he also threw high branches to her, and he could take her as a concubine as long as she wanted.

Although she was seven or eight years older than him, he was willing.

It's hard to find such a beautiful girl.

However, people are not happy.

He couldn't figure it out, he was also a talent at that time, and he was still young, with thousands of acres of fertile land at home, so what was wrong with the slaves and maids?

Why didn't she look down on him?

He asked, "What should we do now?" ”

"You promise him for the time being, and then send someone to inquire about their family, what suspicious people have appeared recently?

Also, who have their family been in close contact with lately? Niu Baochang approached Qu Xinde and said in a low voice.

Qu Xinde was a little reluctant, isn't this a waste of his manpower?

However, if you want to say no, he didn't have the courage to respond.

Niu Baochang said: "Brother Qu, if you can really attract thieves or rebels, the court will not be able to lose you at that time." ”

Qu Xinde said yes again and again, and came out of Niu Baochang's house.

He asked Deng Shun to transfer food to Chen Dashan's family.

And let him inquire about Chen Dashan's family by the way.

Deng Shun is happy, this time he sold so much grain, this is a good thing.

He led three carriages to Chen Dashan's house to deliver grain, and according to the owner's instructions, he sent them ten catties of soybeans, ten catties of peanuts, and two catties of sesame oil.

Qingniu Town is not far from Hehuan Yang, and there are two villages along the way.

In the fields of the village, some people are busy plowing the fields, and some people are knocking on the heads with hoes.

This is to put the land in order to plant winter wheat.

When they saw the convoy delivering grain here, they all stopped their work and looked this way.

There were people who knew Deng Shun and hurriedly greeted him.

When someone from the host family comes, can you not say hello?

Deng Shun also stopped to talk to them.

The farmer asked, "What is this for?" ”

Deng Shun said: "Send food to Chen Dashan's family in Hehuan Yang." ”

"Chen Dashan's family buys so much grain?" The man was astonished, and so were the people in the field beside him.

Deng Shun said: "That's not it, Chen Dashan's family buys so much grain, their family is now prosperous, I don't know where to get rich." ”

The person next to him said: "Chen Dashan, that kid is honest, what else can he do except go up the mountain to chop firewood and sell some firewood?" They don't have any land, where is there any way to make a fortune? ”

"I think eighty percent of it is his mother who has gone to be a thing again."

"It's possible."

Everyone is gossiping, anyway, no one believes that Chen Dashan's family has made a fortune, and they prefer Mrs. Chen as a dowry.

In the past, she sold land and people, and the nearby villages knew about it.
