"Shopkeeper Wang Shao, look, do you know that Ouyang County Commander?"

The old courtesan King Caozhi returned to the viewing platform where the grain merchants belonged, and the shopkeeper Li twisted his goatee and asked curiously what the grain merchants on the stage thought.

"Uh-huh."

Wang Caozhi was noncommittal, but raised his chin lightly and said:

"There is a familiar sister of the Xie family who happens to be in Longcheng, her father is a well-known mellow Confucian in the world, peach and plum all over the world, Ouyang Lianghan is his father's disciple...... I know each other, I just made an appointment for dinner. ”

His tone was understated, as if he was chatting, but when the shopkeeper Li and others saw it, they looked at each other.

A small grain merchant sighed: "It is worthy of the Langya Wang family and the Chen Jun Xie family, they can get threads everywhere in Jiangnan Road, and they are also doing business, but Wang Shao is in charge...... Alas, it's really enviable. ”

The short young man waved his hand modestly.

But the more modest he was, the more the shopkeeper Li who stroked his beard gasped, pondered for a while, and couldn't help but ask in a whisper:

"So this time the food price in Longcheng County is relaxed, shouldn't there be a little shopkeeper behind it, no wonder you can bring grain to Longcheng so quickly in advance, it turns out to be a dealer."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and even the horse shopkeeper with a strong background looked sideways slightly.

Wang Caozhi just smiled faintly, waved his hand, and continued to eat sweet zongzi without explaining.

Although he is a side child and is not very valued in the clan, he traveled north and south at a young age, running a large business, managing all parties and making a lot of friends, relying on this kind of "tell the truth and tell all the lies".

The grain merchants in the stands toasted and talked.

The shopkeeper also put down the rosary, smiled and toasted a glass of wine, but he continued to pay attention to the subjective stage, and turned his head to ask:

"Shopkeeper Wang Shao, what is the relationship between this Ouyang County Order and that noble girl of the Xie family, how can you see that the two are very close, should there be a relationship between men and women, otherwise why would a Xie girl run to this poor place in a good manner?"

"How is that possible?"

This time, Wang Caozhi was not calm, and immediately replied, as if he had heard something very funny, and said with a smile:

"My sister of the Xie family is a reading seed, she is very famous in our Wang Xie family, she studied in the academy with her father very early, and it is quite normal to have a close relationship with her brother and sister, how can she marry someone with a foreign surname, this is the daughter of the Xie family of Chenjun, to put it mildly, even if it is the son of the family behind you, you can't marry it."

The shopkeeper was not annoyed, and nodded, "Also, even today's saints can't do anything about you forbidden marriages." ”

Everyone no longer had doubts, and they talked freely about selling grain to make money, and there may be disputes over other things, but in the matter of making money, they are unprecedentedly united.

Wang Caozhi got up and raised his glass and signaled to everyone:

"Come, a toast to you! The price of grain has stopped at the price of 20 yuan a bucket for a long time, you see, these people outside are not living well, it seems that everyone is very rich, after this Dragon Boat Festival, tomorrow's food price must rise uniformly! ”

The short young man pointed to the rich people who had wallets and went down to the platform.

The burly shopkeeper stroked his palms and laughed, full of pride: "Hahaha, well said, rise!" Fuck it! It just so happens that another 20,000 stones have arrived this morning, and we have the final say on the price of grain in Longcheng County! ”

"Hey, look!" As he was talking, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran to the railing with the wine glass that was shaking the liquid, threw the wine glass into the river, and pointed to the dragon boat in front of him and said loudly:

"Lao Tzu's bet on the dragon boat won, hahahaha good sign!"

Wang Caozhi, Shopkeeper Li and others also immediately got up and smiled and applauded to congratulate.

At this moment, on the bank of Butterfly Creek, with the birth of the first dragon boat race champion boat in the morning, the atmosphere of today has reached a climax in the noisy sky of gongs and drums!

Countless eyes converged on the subjective stage along Butterfly Creek.

The rowers, helmsmen, drummers and gong players of the winning dragon boats walked up to the stage with their bare arms and were personally praised by the Yongcheng County Commander.

It's just that in the hustle and bustle of joy on all sides of the high platform, Ouyang County Ling, who greeted the winning dragon boat team, seemed to be a little distracted when he got up, but the surrounding Diao County Cheng, Yan Liulang, and Xie Lingjiang and others who returned from the Zhen family did not notice anything.

When the excited helmsmen came to him, Ouyang Rong's slightly abnormal face recovered.

"Good work, strong men."

With a sunny smile, he hung garland cards one by one for the group, turned around, and faced the audience.

The people of Longcheng, the dragon boats, and the squires and wealthy businessmen in the audience were quiet for a while, waiting for the customary county order to speak.

Not far from the long street, a fast riding figure suddenly appeared, galloping over.

At first, only some peripheral people found out, but when it came to the focus of the audience, Ouyang Rong County Ling, silently stopped speaking, and looked sideways in the direction of the fast ride, and most of the people on the field also noticed the abnormality.

The bustling crowd moved out of the way, and the fast horses galloped in, and the hoarse shouts of the knights on the horses resounded throughout the audience:

"Jiangzhou Emergency, Jiangzhou Emergency, Longcheng County Order Receives Report!"

There was a sudden discussion on the field, but with Diao Xiancheng's loud "silence" and silence, it fell silent.

Liu Ziwen and Liu Zi'an frowned at each other, and on another viewing platform, Wang Caozhi, Ma Shopkeeper, Li Shopkeeper and others looked curiously.

Everyone saw that this tired and fast riding in front of the subjective racing platform at the ferry reined in the horse, and the post officer turned over and dismounted, stumbled, and dragged his legs to the stage to deliver the letter.

The young county magistrate on the stage frowned slightly, first glanced back at the officials who followed behind, and then stepped forward and verified his identity with the panting officer, and then took the urgent official document, opened it in front of everyone, and read it silently.

Countless eyes fell on the calm face of this Ouyang County Commander, he didn't speak immediately, and the atmosphere on the field couldn't help but become tense.

Everyone knows that generally this kind of official document that is urgent for hundreds of miles is a serious matter that is biased towards the negative, and it is necessary to notify the local government quickly, otherwise some simple official affairs can be passed on slowly.

And the last time a similar official document came, it was the corruption case of Jimincang.

Thinking of this, many people in the crowd had some bad premonitions, worried about where did natural and man-made disasters occur, or was there a shortage of soldiers?

Some local gentry and landlords are also worried, and they are the ones who are most vulnerable to some changes in local policies.

On the other side, Wang Caozhi and other foreign grain merchants did not have these worries, and the official documents on the Jiangzhou side generally had little impact on them as mobile merchants, and they certainly could not restrict their personal freedom, so most of them wanted to see if there were any new business opportunities with the mentality of watching the excitement.

However, what was unexpected was that on the high platform, the young county magistrate who was reading official documents independently suddenly smiled easily, raised his head, shook his head with a smile at the audience, and waved his hand to the nervous officials and subordinates behind him to appease.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it has nothing to do with everyone." His tone was lighthearted. "Everyone continued to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, and then played music and danced."

The stone that pressed on the hearts of many people in Dragon City was suddenly put down, and the silent crowd resumed its liveliness, but Wang Caozhi and other foreign businessmen were still a little disappointed, after all, they had no fun watching...... Boredom and want to see a river of blood.

"But this official and his colleagues have to be busy again, hey, finally a letter from the Dragon Boat Festival to work over......time during the Dragon Boat Festival."

The young county magistrate lowered his head and folded the letter as it was, as if he remembered something, and looked up and asked casually:

"By the way, everyone is here, do you have any friends in the audience who have a large amount of food hoarding in this county? Trouble to come to the county government to drink a cup of tea to report, relax, it is not a big deal, that is, the supervision made Lord Shen suspect that the embezzled Jimin warehouse grain is still parked at the boundary of Jiangzhou, so after consulting the imperial court, it is ordered that all counties in Jiangzhou are not allowed to leave Jiangzhou without permission from now on, and they must be transported away only after the local officials find out the innocence of the road and hold the passage documents......"

The words fell, and the whole audience was only a little smaller, and then it returned to normal, it was indeed a trivial matter, and most people didn't care about it, and they didn't even understand, and they dispersed.

On the viewing platform somewhere, Wang Caozhi, Ma Shopkeeper, Li Shopkeeper and other grain merchants who were going to go to the team building were all stunned, and even wondered if their ears had heard it wrong, and they made several "ah" words one after another.

It wasn't until a certain young county commander "happened" to stop alone on their stage after a round of eyes, and the young county commander seemed to be smiling and smiling very sincerely, Wang Caozhi and the others suddenly shuddered.
