Chapter 32: Quarrels and Games

The two gentlemen gathered together and looked outside in a daze, in fact, they were whispering, "How does it feel to be the first talented woman in the world to be your master?" ”

Han Mu smiled, "Not bad." ”

When Yao Boqing and Master Yao walked in with their feet raised, they looked up and saw Han Mu who was smiling like a star, and Rao was as calm as Yao Boqing's expression was in a trance.

Han Mu caught a glimpse of someone coming out of the corner of his eye, and the bright smile on his face was immediately put away, and he looked at the door with a serious face.

It wasn't until his face became serious that Gu Junruo, who was holding the tea, slowly withdrew his gaze, put the teacup back on the table, and wiped the water stains on his hands with a handkerchief.

She exhaled, Xiaochan also exhaled, and said in a daze: "Miss, you may be right, my uncle is so good-looking." ”

yes, it's pretty.

Yao Boqing also came back to his senses, raised his feet and crossed the threshold, and bent down to salute first, "The student meets the county commander." ”

Master Zhao and County Lieutenant Xue, who had just gone down to deal with the matter, hurried over and whispered to Han Mu: "Yao Boqing has gone to county school. ”

Very well, all students in the prefectural school and those who come out of it must call themselves students in front of the prefectural ordinance.

Han Mu didn't expect that one day he would be able to make people call themselves students, so he felt it happily for a while before raising his hand with a serious face and said, "Excuse me." ”

Master Yao also bowed.

Han Mu wasn't embarrassed, but asked curiously, "Why are there only two of you here, and there are only two of you in the Yao family?" ”

Yao Boqing bowed his head and replied: "The younger brother in the family was frightened yesterday, and after he went back, he had a high fever, and now he is still bedridden, so the student only came with his father, and asked the adults to forgive him." ”

Han Mu snorted and asked, "Do you know what's wrong?" ”

"I know," Yao Boqing said: "It's really scary, I didn't know that the county commander was in office, so I couldn't welcome it from afar." ”

"Because we haven't met, there were some misunderstandings, and my father was too excited, so he did something wrong, and asked for forgiveness."

The attitude of admitting mistakes is excellent, Han Mu is a soft-hearted person, his face has improved a lot, and he was about to continue to talk about them on this matter, so he listened to Gu Junruo and said: "The Yao family is Wangmen in Yi County, and their ancestors live here, so they should have feelings for their homeland, right?" ”

Yao Boqing's heart tightened, and he quickly glanced up at Gu Junruo and said: "Yes, my Yao family has lived here for generations, and there are relatives and friends all over the place, it can be said that in this Yi County, you can find a person who is related to my Yao family after walking ten steps, and they can all be regarded as relatives and friends." ”

"Then the Yao family should take on the responsibilities of some big clans," Gu Junruo said: "The state governs the county, and the county needs to rely on the autonomy of the old people in Lizheng Township, the Yao family has a big business, although it has never served as Lizheng, but the Yao family has five township elders in Yi County, if I remember correctly, Master Yao is one of them." ”

Master Yao quietly glanced at his son and said yes.

Gu Junruo looked at Han Mu.

Han Mu had already regained his cold face, and snorted: "Since you are a village elder, you should assist the yamen to manage the villagers well, but as a result, your Yao family actually raised prices and made food prices skyrocket, do you know how many people have died during this time?" ”

Yao Boqing didn't dare to admit this charge, otherwise it would be spread out, and the Yao family wouldn't be mixed up in Yixian, he hurriedly explained: "I didn't intend to raise the price of grain, I really had to adjust it." ”

Yao Boqing said that Yao's family was also badly affected, and that much of the food was washed away after the floods, leaving little behind.

The people of the city were in chaos, and many people poured into the grain stores to buy food," ...... We really can't take out so much, so we can only raise the price of grain, and then we mention it again and again, first, because there is no grain in the warehouse, second, other grain merchants are also raising prices, and third, in order to control the situation, otherwise they can buy as much as they can, and they don't know how to control it, and then we have no grain to sell, won't there be chaos? ”

Han Mu sneered, "No food? Fool, yesterday I raided your two grain shops, and there is a lot of grain in them, not to mention, you also have a granary dedicated to storing grain. ”

Yao Boqing hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, those are all the grain that was brought back the day before yesterday. ”

He said: "Since the flood, my father has been worried about the shortage of food in Yixian County, so he sent me and the second brother of the family out to buy food early. ”

Han Mu sneered, "You mean I wronged you, but the account books ......"

Gu Junruo coughed lightly, interrupted Han Mu's words, and said to Yao Boqing: "Since what Yao Gongzi said was a misunderstanding, but I don't know what your family decided to do with this batch of new grain?" ”

Han Mu immediately glared at him, yes, you said.

Yao Boqing gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally, it is to reduce the price of grain and sell it to the people." ”

Gu Junruo said: "The imperial court has a law, the price of grain cloth and other materials shall not exceed three times the price within three months, otherwise it will be determined to raise prices, Zhao Zhushu, what was the price of grain in Yixian three months ago?" ”

Master Zhao immediately said: "The general one is twelve Wen and one bucket. ”

Gu Junruo nodded and looked at Yao Boqing.

Yao Boqing was in a cold sweat on his forehead, he wanted to be tougher, but thinking of the identities of Han Mu and Gu Junruo, he could only grit his teeth secretly, clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "The student is discussing with his father to drop the price back to thirty wen and one bucket." ”

"Thirty Wen?!" Master Yao jumped to his feet and asked him directly, "Your brain is broken!" ”

When Han Mu heard this, he slapped it fiercely, pointed at Master Yao and said: "Your brain is broken, you usually sell ten yuan a bucket of grain to one hundred and eighty yuan a bucket, I didn't give you the previous money back, even if I give you face, you still think thirty wen is high?" ”

Han Mu was so angry that his head twitched, and he directly turned around and asked Gu Junruo, "How much is the daily salary you mentioned in the announcement before?" ”

He Ziyou on the side reminded him in a low voice, "Ten to twenty." ”

"Yes!" Han Mu turned back to the Yao family father and son and said, "Thirty wen is too expensive, fifteen wen is one bucket!" ”

Directly cut the price in half.

Yao Boqing: ......

Master Yao jumped to his feet, "Fifteen Wen and one fight, we can't even make up the travel expenses, Han County Order, you can't be born in honor and suppress people with power, you are trying to force our Yao family to die." ”

"Fart, it's clear that your Yao family is forcing the people of Yixian County to die, you just say that you can't set this price, if you don't, I will punish you, can hoarding and raising prices punish them?" Han Mu didn't bother at all, he quarreled with Master Yao directly in the court, and blatantly threatened the other party, "I want to treat you for a big crime of disrespect, you dare to lead the guards to besiege this county and the county government, why do you want to rebel?" ”

Yao Boqing knew that he would not give up this handle, what hoarding and raising prices, there was room for manipulation for these two charges, but there was no matter of besieging the county government and Han Mu.

There were too many people to see at that time, and those refugees in Yixian County would definitely stand on Han Mu's side for food.

Yao Boqing took a deep breath, raised his head and smiled at Han Mu: "My lord's pricing is very reasonable, and the price of this batch of our grain to the outside world is set at fifteen wen and one bucket. ”
