The guest officer laughed, this is obviously not a little bit good for this tribute. You see, the fabric is dense but not clumped, breathable, soft, made into clothes to wear on the body, straight and comfortable. On the other hand, what about the worse fabric? The weaving is not dense, the color is floating, and if you make clothes, you must not be able to get on the body, even the people of your family, I am afraid you can't look down on it. So, it looks like it's a little worse, but it's actually far worse! Guest, how much did you spend on this fabric? With all due respect, I'm afraid that the little girl who first learned to weave can weave a horse and a half a day, more than 50 wen a horse, and you will regard it as charity. ”

Coming out of Buzhuang, several people looked at each other with tears and laughter, Cheng Mingliang had a violent temper, and couldn't help scolding people at this time, "It's really bad luck to make people fool just when they go out!" No, I can't swallow this breath, let's go find him! ”

Unexpectedly, after everyone found it back, there were still a few people there, and it was not surprising to see everyone come back, and there was not too much hostility, but some people ignored it.

"Hey, you sell this kind of goods for a tael of silver, and you want to go crazy for money, right?"

The man sneered, "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, I didn't say it was a tribute, I just said that it was Songjiang cotton, you said, is this cotton?" And let me tell you, this is the local farmer in Songjiang, what, is there something wrong with what I said? ”

This person's scoundrel appearance made Cheng Mingliang even more angry, "Clever words, forget it, I won't talk to you so much, return the money and return the money!" ”

The merchant smiled, "You can return the goods and refund the money, but let's say okay, the ticket I gave you is Songjiang cotton, is your goods right?" ”

Cheng Mingliang knew that he had encountered a scoundrel, so he directly stepped forward and grabbed the businessman's neck, "You just say that you can't retreat!" ”

"Hit someone, huh? Rough moves, huh? Don't think I'm afraid of you! This is Surabaya County, believe it or not, I'll report to the official! ”

The merchant shouted.

Cheng Mingliang also said loudly, "You scream, you scream, I want to see which dog official is colluding with you!" ”

Cheng Mingliang led the merchant to the yamen, and along the way, everyone was surprised and seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing.

Seeing this scene, Qin Jing couldn't help frowning.

"The atmosphere in the south is very different from ours in the north."

Guo Yixing said with some emotion.

Not to mention other places, just in Kyoto, if there is a contradiction, everyone will immediately surround it, clear it one by one, and if anyone does something immoral, one person can drown the person who has done things with a bad conscience. But here in Surabaya, it turned out to be indifferent and indifferent.

Everyone saw it in their eyes, and when they arrived at the yamen, it was even more unexpected by everyone.

A group of amiable officials, who did not bully people with power, nor did they use their power to oppress people, but had an excellent attitude with a smile, "Your feelings, this official understands." But in this case, the magistrate could not force the merchant to return the money. As he said, the list he gave you was Songjiang cotton, two by two. How can you prove that what he sold you is not Songjiang cotton cloth? Moreover, judging from this list, Songjiang cotton cloth, two taels of silver per horse, a few, you don't want to think about it, the real Songjiang cotton cloth is more than twenty taels, you buy Songjiang cotton cloth at this price, don't you have a little count in your heart? ”

The official's words were speechless, and until dinner in the evening, Cheng Mingming's tone in his heart was still up and down, "This dog official!" He knew that there was such a person early on, but he didn't care, and let them deceive people? ”

A few people were also eye-opening today, and they were easily deceived by a few words of dozens of taels of silver.

"Okay, aren't we experiencing different customs? Today, from top to bottom, it can be regarded as seeing. ”

Qin Jing opened his mouth and said.

"Your Highness, you will comfort yourself, if I don't pay it back, I won't believe it, starting tomorrow, I will follow the dog merchant, here the parents don't care about him cheating money, I will take care of him!"

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and they didn't pay much attention, they just felt that Cheng Mingliang was okay like this, anyway, they came here to experience human feelings, and with such a strange thing, they could see it more clearly.

As a result, at dinner the next day, when everyone gathered together, they found that Cheng Mingming's anger had increased instead of decreasing.

"Bright, what's going on? Didn't you keep an eye on the merchant and keep him from deceiving people? ”

Guo Yixing asked.

When Cheng Mingliang heard this, his face became even more ugly, "That's it!" The more I say that the merchant is a liar, the more people rush to pay the money to the liar and buy the fabrics that can't do anything! ”

Everyone thought it was strange, Su Zijin thought about it and spoke, "It may be that Surabaya is famous, so everyone thinks that there is such a halo here, so it will be easy to be fooled." ”

There is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, Xuzhou sits on Suzhou, it is a prosperous place since ancient times, people from other places will unconsciously believe the words of the locals here. In addition, I don't know enough about cloth and other goods, so I am easily deceived. People who really know how to do it, like the people in Buzhuang, will not be fooled by the businessman's words.

"Get something for nothing, keep up with the money, the atmosphere here in Surabaya is already like this, so the businessmen will succeed repeatedly, and the officials will let it go."

Su Zijin thought about it and said.

Qin Jing also spoke, "You can't let them corrupt the atmosphere little by little. When the atmosphere is broken, everything is broken. ”

Guo Yixing looked at Qin Jing, "Fourth prince, what should we do in this situation?" The atmosphere is all from the heart, and the convention is customary. How can we turn this around? ”

Qin Jing pointed his finger on the table, "It's too easy to twist it, but if you change your parents and punish this kind of thing severely, there must be some improvements." But don't worry, let's just come, let's change to a parent official first, to see the after-effects. ”

Guo Yixing and Cheng Mingliang nodded when they listened. This trip out of Beijing, the first place, encountered this kind of strange thing, which made the two of them feel a little ridiculous, and a little eye-opening, it turns out that outside, there are still this kind of people, this kind of thing? is clearly a matter of reason, but it is entangled in vain, but there is no way to do it.

"This is the first place to settle ashore, our destination, Pengcheng County, but the salt capital, famous, everyone is a born businessman. We felt powerless in Surabaya, and when we arrived in Pengcheng County, wouldn't it be even more slaughtered? ”

Guo Yixing and Cheng Mingliang listened, nodded contemplatively, "We are still inexperienced, this time we came here, it is an opportunity to learn and grow our skills, and next time, we will not be led by the nose so easily!" ”
