Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 65 Can't refuse

This is the second time that the big families of Wancheng have come to the city wall today, and they have this free time on weekdays to be beautiful and beautiful, drunk and dreaming of death.

Unlike in the morning, this time it was Taishou Chen Qiu who sent someone to invite him personally, but last time they heard that there were homeless people besieging the city outside the city, and they were worried that their industry would be impacted, so they came to the city wall to watch, but they didn't expect to be caught by Taishou and forced to relieve the homeless.

This is not a problem, as long as the displaced people do not pose a threat to them, they can be relieved, and they can still have a good reputation.

In fact, these big families are also very interested in the homeless group, and a big slave costs tens of thousands of dollars on weekdays, but buying a homeless person as a slave only requires hundreds of money, or even a few bags of grain can be exchanged for a good-looking maid.

If it weren't for the government's pressure, they would have started to do it a long time ago.

Chen Qiu is over half a hundred years old, and he has a clear view of human nature, of course he knows the plans of these so-called big families against the homeless, but this time their wishful thinking is about to fail.

Most of these big families live in the outer city, and it can be said that they have no foundation, and he can take them at will with a word, and Chen Qiu doesn't take them very seriously and takes them to heart. As long as they don't go too far and provoke public anger, they can do whatever they want.

The most troublesome for Chen Qiu is the elite class in the inner city, each of them has tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, countless slaves and maids, and they do not have to pay taxes, resulting in the loss of land and poverty and weakness of the people.

Chen Qiu had the intention to rectify them, but in the end they all died without a problem, because this is also the case with his own family, and the rectification of the elite class is to rectify himself.

When the big families saw that Chen Qiu had summoned them over, they didn't speak, so they couldn't help but ask carefully: "I don't know if Lord Fujun summoned Xiaomin, do you have important arrangements?" The little people are following the instructions of the adults, organizing domestic servants to prepare for the relief of the homeless. ”

Chen Qiu woke up from his contemplation, looked at the big families in Wancheng, and said with a slight smile: "You are all well-informed people, and this mansion has recruited you to discuss something." ”

The big families hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Fujun just orders, as long as the small people can do it, they will never refuse." ”

Chen Qiu glanced at them and said, "Today, Liu Zongzheng's hand is too empty to eat the list, I think everyone has seen it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Chen Qiu meant by this, and one of the tall and thin men replied cautiously: "Xiaomin glanced at it from a distance, and only saw the words "Relief Bun", "Green Onion Cake", and "Rice Noodles." ”

Chen Qiu glanced at this person in surprise, "Who are you?" I have a good memory! ”

Seeing Chen Qiu's appearance, the man was a little excited, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Xiaomin Wang Barley, a native of Suixian County, makes a living in Wancheng City. ”

Chen Qiu nodded, "You see it well, this mansion is fortunate to have eaten these, and the taste is still fresh in my memory." ”

Then Chen Qiu glanced around and said, "Today is also your blessing, these inventors of food want to help the displaced people outside the city, and plan to use these food practices in exchange for food. ”

After a pause, Chen Qiu deliberately raised his voice and asked these big families loudly, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and let them exchange food for food that they had never seen before, it was indeed difficult for some strong people, and if they were ordinary people, they would have been sprayed by them for a long time, but because of Chen Qiu's identity as a guard, they couldn't have a seizure, so they could only deal with it in silence.

At this time, Wang Lu hesitated and asked, "Dare to ask my lord, I don't know how to change the method?" ”

He was finally looked at by Tai Shougao today, with the mentality of catering to the wealth, as long as the conditions Chen Qiu said were not too excessive, he was the first to stand up and support.

Chen Qiu said expressionlessly: "One stone of grain for one food, since this person has the heart to save the world and help the people, how can this government let him be deceived in Nanyang County, if he says it, will this government not be ridiculed." Therefore, if the government finds out and someone gives it privately, the penalty will be doubled. ”

Wang Lu was relieved after hearing this, he was going to bleed heavily, but he didn't expect the conditions given by Taishou to be fair. Regardless of whether it is the Taixu eating practice that Chen Qiu said, he will replace them all today, and he should give Lord Fujun a face.

Therefore, he ignored the eyes of other people, and said to Chen Qiu: "Although Xiaomin is engaged in business, he is the most admired selfless person in his life. ”

After hearing this, Chen Qiu nodded at this person, "You are very good, this government has written it down, and if you encounter unfair treatment in Wancheng in the future, you can report the name of this government." ”

Wang Barley was overjoyed and kept saying words of praise to Chen Qiu.

"Lord Fujun is dedicated to the public and the people, and he is really an example in the world!"

Chen Qiu ignored him, looked at the others, and asked, "What about you?" ”

"Lord Fujun, it's not that we don't know how to lift, it's just that we haven't seen these foods, I don't know what these foods look like, and whether their practices are worth a stone of food."

Although the big families didn't dare to fall out with Chen Qiu, they didn't want to be the wronged leader. One stone of grain for one eating practice is not so much a change as a robbery.

If they agreed to Chen Qiu's conditions, and then he would have made hundreds of ways to eat, wouldn't it make them lose hundreds of stones of grain in vain.

"What do you mean by this, that you do not believe in the people of this house?" Chen Qiu's expression was rather gloomy, and his voice was a little high-pitched.

"Okay, you're very good, do you really think that this mansion is interested in your little food? You are really toasting and not eating and drinking, and this government will let people take out food to prove it now. ”

Chen Qiu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and snorted coldly, "Come on, go to the back kitchen of this mansion to get some worries and green onion cakes." ”

"Lord, let's let my subordinates go." On the city wall full of depression, Zhang Yang stepped forward steadily, and directly clenched his fists and shouted in a deep voice.

Chen Qiu waved his hand, signaling him to go and come back quickly.

The big farmers at the scene couldn't help but regret a little, knowing that Chen Qiu was so angry, they suffered some losses and agreed to exchange one stone of grain for another eating practice. Looking at Chen Qiu's posture, it is estimated that what he said is true. It's too late to say anything now, so I can only resign myself to fate, hoping that Lord Taishou won't embarrass them too much.

Even before the food came up, some people directly opened their mouths and pleaded with sad faces.

"Fujun, we really don't doubt the meaning of the adults, we just blame us for having no eyes and not knowing the good intentions of the adults, so please give us another chance."

"Yes, Lord Fujun cares about the world and rescues the homeless, but we are not grateful, and we just want to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

For a while, the wails continued, but most of the big families still had a skeptical attitude in their eyes, and Chen Qiu had not been appointed to Nanyang for a long time, and his prestige was not enough to make them all surrender.

Looking at everyone's pleas and cries, Chen Qiu still had the leisure to talk to Wang Yan, praising him for his vision and knowledge of being too empty to eat.

Soon Zhang Yang walked up to the city wall, followed by two small officials, one carrying a basket of steamed buns, and the other holding a basket of green onion cakes.

At this time, Chen Qiu picked up a piece of cake and a steamed bun and handed it to Wang Yan, and then picked up another piece of cake, took a bite, and then spoke: "Divide all the food into four, the food in this house can't be wasted, just give them a taste, if you want to eat, go home and make it yourself!" ”

Zhang Yang promised to direct the two officials to act according to Chen Qiu's instructions.

After a while, the big families on the city wall all got a quarter of the green onion cake and the bread to relieve their worries.

Looking at the food with a faint fragrance on their hands, everyone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing them like this, Chen Qiu said very disdainfully: "Try it, if anyone else thinks that this practice of eating can't be exchanged for a stone of grain, they can stand up and leave immediately." ”

Everyone picked up the food in their hands and took a small bite, and suddenly an indescribable sense of happiness came to their hearts, making them can't help but take another bite.

The more I ate, the more I wanted to eat, but I just tasted it, but the food in my hand was gone, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.

Suddenly, someone cried and said: "Lord Fujun, I am waiting to know that I am wrong, please don't care about the villain, forgive me for waiting, we are willing to exchange two stones of grain for a way to eat." ”

It is impossible to refuse, even if Chen Qiu offers twice as much grain in exchange, these big households have no way to refuse this offer.

Because after eating this anxiety relief bun and green onion cake, no one wants to eat the previous food again!

"Hmph, this is your own will, and this government is not forced!"

"I'll wait for it willingly," the big families finally turned into a willingness, their eyes flashed with excitement, and they shouted excitedly: "Please be gracious." ”

After saying that, one of the middle-aged men with a wide body and a fat body stood up and said excitedly: "The prince of the palace does not blame us, it really makes us ashamed. ”

"We are a villain's ambition to be a gentleman, which is really ridiculous. The small people are willing to give 100 stones of grain and sincerely repent! ”

When he saw this middle-aged man, Chen Qiu's eyes froze, and he was very familiar with the man in front of him, who was a well-known and big family in Wancheng, and there were channels to buy and sell salt, iron and grain.

With the man's statement, the rest of the people suddenly realized, shouted excitedly, and scrambled to pat their chests and say with an excited look.

"I am also willing to donate 100 stone of grain!"

For a while, there was a commotion on the city wall, and the rest of the people were flushed and said that they were willing to give food.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Chen Qiu waved his hand, and his voice stopped abruptly in an instant, and everyone held their breath and waited for Chen Qiu's lecture.

"You are so knowledgeable, but this house is disrespectful." Chen Qiu's somewhat aging voice sounded slowly.

Next, he said unhurriedly: "But this government still wants to say thank you for the homeless people outside the city, and at the same time thank you for these inventors of food, he originally planned to exchange one stone for one food, but you are willing to exchange two stones for two stones!" ”

When Chen Qiu said this, everyone's faces became excited, they knew that the beam they had formed with Taishou had been revealed, and at the same time, they had a sense of expectation for the next Taixu eating practice.

At this time, the indifference on Chen Qiu's face gradually melted, and he waved his hand magnificently.

"Xianqing, I will share the rest of the food with you!"
