Chapter 189: The means of the rice shop, the majesty of the young master
"Today's food prices, two, two, two, one fight."
Outside the rice shop of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, the shopkeeper removed the "two two one bucket" sign on the stall and replaced it with a "two two two one bucket" sign and inserted it in the rice pile.
This scene can be seen that the people who came to buy food are all shouting.
"Why is it rising again, it's only the third day, why is it so outrageous!?"
Many people's hands holding rice bags trembled.
Two, two, two, one bucket of rice, it has really reached the point of incomparably terrifying, where is this rice.
The price of meat is not this either!
"Hurry up and grab it, in two hours, you will sell two, two, three, one fight!" Someone said helplessly.
"What a black heart!" Someone was annoyed.
"Then what can I do, I can survive if I have something to eat." Others are helpless.
But even though it was two by two and two and one buckets of rice, there were also people who competed for power, and even people who bought grain took the initiative to stuff the silver into the rice merchants.
For fear of falling behind others by half a point, I will add a few more coins of silver after noon, and I can't afford it.
"I'm going to buy a hundred buckets!" An old man in brocade squeezed forward under the crowd of guards and took out a silver ticket.
But he was angrily scolded by the people around him: "It's just a few hundred buckets a day, what do you eat after you buy us, do you starve to death?" โ
"Whether you starve to death or not, what does it matter to me, I can buy more if I have money, why do you care?"
"How can this be!"
At this time, the shopkeeper of the rice shop came out to play a round and said with a smile: "Hehe, this lord, we have a limit, and each person can only buy less than three buckets at a time, otherwise how many people in Suzhou will starve to death?" โ
"It's ......" The people around him actually agreed, and immediately transferred their hatred to the rich man.
"What's so great about being rich, the shopkeeper is good!" In the crowd, I don't know who actually praised the owner of the rice shop.
So more people began to praise the conscience of the shopkeeper and scolded the rich and noble old man who bought grain.
In the distance, Fang Jue couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.
"That's smart." Bai Qing also felt that it was an eye-opener, and he had never seen such a method.
Lin Bei was still a little confused: "What? โ
"Divert contradictions, divide internally, and reverse black and white...... It's a pity that this kind of person is not an official. Fang Jue chuckled.
It turns out that some operations have existed since ancient times, and the cunning of the ancients should not be underestimated.
"Huh?"
Lin Beicai reacted a little: "This, this is acting?" โ
Fang Jue glanced at him: "Let's go, let's go and meet that Master Chu." โ
After that, he walked ahead, and Bai Qing was guarding by the side.
"General, what are the young master and Master Bai talking about?" Adjutant General Cheng Jie was also puzzled.
Lin Beiyi glanced at his own eyes with the young master of Fangcai, glanced at his lieutenant, and suddenly had an inexplicable sense of superiority in IQ.
"What are you doing? surrounded the courtyard of the Northern Chamber of Commerce. Lin Bei pointed out.
Cheng Jie nodded, waved his hand, and followed the Yulin Army behind him and stepped forward quickly.
"Eh, what are you doing?"
Finding a large number of officers and soldiers coming, the shopkeeper of the rice shop was a little panicked, but he quickly calmed down.
The crowd also dispersed, making way for the officers and soldiers.
"Who is this lord?" The shopkeeper of the rice shop naturally didn't recognize Fang Jue.
Fang Jue ignored him and glanced at Bai Qing.
Bai Qing stepped forward quickly and pulled out the "two, two, two, one bucket" brand inserted in the rice mountain on the stall outside the rice shop.
Handing the brand to Fang Jue, Bai Qing returned to the side, ready to take out the knife at any time.
The four soldiers of the Hanging Sword Division around them were also on guard, because they all knew that they were here to find fault this time.
"Two, two, two, one?"
Fang Jue glanced at the shopkeeper and said coldly: "Are you selling rice, or are you selling delicacies from the mountains and seas?" โ
"Huh?" The shopkeeper hurriedly came up and secretly stretched out his hand to Fang Jue.
was held by Bai Qing with one hand, and saw a money bag in his hand.
"Okay, bribe in public, the evidence is conclusive." Bai Qing's face was a little pale, and he was very happy, there should be more criminals like this.
Caught red-handed, ah, this is.
"What?" The shopkeeper of the rice shop was shocked, he thought it was an official who came to ask for protection fees, but he didn't expect that he was looking for trouble.
The surrounding Yulin Army, which was responsible for the safety of the rice shop, also immediately stood back in the large army of the Yulin Army and no longer protected this rice shop.
"Is this lord going to do justice?" In the crowd, someone understood.
"Two, two, two, one fight, I have long wanted to report to the official, but the hateful rice shop is guarded by officers and soldiers, and I thought that the government had already colluded with it."
"I'll just say, it's impossible for the imperial court to collude with these profiteers!"
Some of the people who were disappointed in the court suddenly gave birth to some hope.
If it weren't really helpless, who would be so numb and slaughtered?
"Don't be too happy too early, this adult is so young, I'm afraid that the official position is not high, and the Northern Chamber of Commerce has the endorsement of big officials in the capital behind it." Some scholars at the scene shook their heads, feeling that it was unrealistic to expect this young man to uphold justice.
"That's right, I'm so young I'm afraid that I'm just entering the office, at most it's only eight grades, there are officials in the Northern Chamber of Commerce, I know a few ...... of five or six grades or more" An old gentleman shook his head and said.
"Bapin, what kind of fart is ......"
"Don't worry about this adult, don't lose your official position and ruin your family......" someone couldn't bear to say in his heart.
The people sighed again and returned to despair.
Hearing these words, the shopkeeper of the rice shop, who originally felt bad, also became angry.
He took a step back, pointed at Fang Jue's nose and scolded, "If you see it, take it, I'll give you face?" Do you know how many high-ranking officials and friends my lord has in the capital, and even you, a small official with the size of sesame mung beans, dare to take care of such a big matter? โ
The tips of his fingers almost poked Fang Jue's nose.
"Poofโ"
Bai Qing's knife was very fast, Fang Jue only saw an afterimage, and then in front of him was a broken wrist that spurted blood.
Bai Qing kicked hard, kicking the shopkeeper of the rice shop and flying out, and not a drop of blood touched Fang Jue.
Fang Jue nodded, Bai Qing's heart was ruthless, and it was just right to use it at this time.
"Ahh
"My hands!"
The knife was too sharp, and before the shopkeeper could feel the pain, a kick in the stomach made him cramp.
Later, when he was helped up by the little guy in the rice shop, he realized that his right palm had been cut off, and the pain immediately hit his head.
I almost bit my tongue.
"Bold, dare to intend to assassinate the young master of the dynasty, only to cut your hand is already generous!"
Before the people in the rice shop could react, Bai Qing took the lead and planted a huge hat for the rice shop shopkeeper.
"What?"
"Young Master?"
Bai Qing deliberately spoke very slowly, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
The people in the rice shop were immediately shocked.
The guy who was copying the guy was shocked: "Young master...... How many products are it? โ
"Young Master Prince?" The old gentleman in the crowd was pleasantly surprised.
A scholar also explained to everyone: "The prince is a young master, and the official residence is from a ...... Oh my God, this can't be, right? โ
"Such a young young master?"
Suzhou is remote, and the story of the young master in the capital is only widely circulated among the big people, and very few people know about it below.
Because most people don't even know the words, how can they read the notices of the imperial court.
"What do you mean by a product?" Some people asked.
The old gentleman said with a smile: "From the first grade, it is only half a level lower than the first assistant of the cabinet." โ
"How many products is the first assistant of the cabinet?" The man asked earnestly again.
"......" The old gentleman and the scholar were speechless.
The people present did not laugh either, because most of the people did not know the structure of the court officials.
Many official names are not even known.
Because most people, the official they hear about most frequently in their lives is just a county order of seven or eight grades.
In the state capital assessment every four years, it is possible to see the people of the state and Taiwan...... And Futai is only four products, and many unimportant state capitals, Futai even only have four products.
The sudden appearance of a young master is naturally puzzling, to be honest, many people don't know that the imperial court also set up this official position.
"Meet the Young Master......"
The organic one immediately knelt down.
No matter how big an official is, but it seems that he can really uphold justice, that's enough!
"Meet the young master!"
More people blindly followed, but also from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that this kneeling would allow this young young master to help them get rid of the exploitation of these profiteers.
That call made Fang Jue feel a mysterious and mysterious sense of spiritual comfort.
This is probably the pleasure of power.
Fang Jue only experienced it for a moment, and then took the initiative to wake up from it, he was not an official fan.
"The people of Daxia only kneel to their parents in heaven and earth, and they don't have to kneel and worship, how can I think he can do it, all the villagers and elders should get up quickly." Fang Jue hurriedly walked over and helped one of the eldest people up.
