Chapter 27: The Dumbfounded Wealthy Businessman of Jiangnan

Wang Gui, the steward sent by Wang Lianfu, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, investigated the number of acres of land reclaimed by the people of Wanping County after three days of investigation, and returned to Beiping Mansion in the dust!

At the same time, he also held an account book full of acres in his hand.

Looking at the number on the account book, Wang Lianfu, Zhang Guangkun and others, a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, stared at them again, their faces were dull, and they couldn't believe it.

"Whew!"

After being silent for a long time, Wang Lianfu stared at Wang Gui, the steward in front of him, with red eyes, and gave a kick directly.

'Poof! ’

Caught off guard, Wang Gui, the thin steward, was directly kicked to the ground.

"You dog, I want you to investigate in person, so that's how you came to investigate?"

"The old man is angry, these are really found out by the villain himself!" Hurriedly knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, are you an idiot to be an old man?"

Wang Lianfu didn't mean to lose his anger at all, but directly kicked at Wang Gui a few times angrily again, "There are so many detailed data in this account book, even if it is copied, it will be copied for two whole days."

And you bastard, in just three days, you investigated the fields cultivated by the people of Wanping County for the old man, and recorded them in such detail? ”

"Also, it turned out to be a full 1,680 hectares of fields, how many people are there in Wanping County? How could they cultivate so many fields in such a short period of time? ”

On the side, Zhang Guangkun, Yin Shengfu and others, who were also a little stunned, also reacted.

When he looked at Wang Gui, his eyes were also full of cold light.

"The king is dissipated and discouraged, and it is not worth it to be angry with such an evil slave!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme!"

Wang Lianfu gasped for breath and slowly sat down on the wide chair.

At this time, Peiping has entered a hot period.

Wang Lianfu's posture is twice that of ordinary people, and he just kicked Wang Gui a few times, which will already start to sweat.

"Someone!"

"Sir!"

Outside the door, two healthy servants entered.

"Arrest this evil slave to the old man and interrogate him well!"

"Yes, sir......"

In response, the two healthy servants were expressionless and ready to set up Wang Gui.

Seeing this, Wang Gui trembled, his face was full of horror, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master, master, the villain really didn't dare to deceive you this time!" ……

Master... Master, the villain confesses, whatever you ask, the villain will reply, and the villain will not dare to hide a word! ”

"Humph!"

Wang Lianfu snorted coldly and looked at Wang Gui.

"You tell me a good story, where did this account book in your hand come from, and who asked you to deceive it!"

The old man was angry, and the villain was ordered by the old man the day before yesterday to go out of the city to investigate the number of wasteland reclaimed by the people of Wanping County. However, Wanping County is so big, with the power of only one villain, there is no ten days and half a month, and the investigation is not clear at all.

And if it really took ten days and half a month to investigate, the villain would definitely delay the master's big event.

So, the villain went to look for the lieutenant chiefs of each armor, and the villain was originally going to give these lieutenants a little benefit.

It's just that what the villain didn't expect was that after the mayors of Wanping County learned about the villain's intentions, they were very enthusiastic.

not only gave the villain this account book full of the number of fields reclaimed in each Jiali, but even took the villain to each Jiali to check.

The villain couldn't believe at first that the people of Wanping County could reclaim so much barren land in such a short period of time.

So, the villain checked it seriously for three days.

As a result, the villain found that the number of acres of land verified was only much more than that recorded in this account book......"

With the narration of the steward Wang Gui, Wang Lianfu and Zhang Guangkun and other wealthy businessmen were even more incredulous and cold.

"It can't be!"

"Absolutely impossible, it must be that the magistrate of Wanping County and the lieutenant chiefs joined forces to deceive King Yan in order to borrow grain from King Yan!"

"I don't believe it! ……”

"Sir?"

Looking at Wang Lianfu, who was like a demon, Wang Gui looked terrified.

Wang Lianfu stared at Wang Gui tightly, and said with a vicious expression: "Hmph, you lead the way, my staff will personally go to the townships of Wanping County to personally check the number of wasteland reclaimed by the people of Wanping County!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Gui subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "The villain is going to prepare the car!" ”

Wang Lianfu said angrily: "Don't go yet!" ”

"Yes, sir......"

Soon, a carriage drove out of Wanping County and took the lead in going to the nearest township outside Wanping County.

When they got off the carriage and looked at the endless newly cultivated fields in front of them, Wang Lianfu, Wang Gui and others were dumbfounded.

"This can't be, it must be fake, it must be fake......"

muttering a few words to themselves in disbelief, Wang Lianfu, Zhang Guangkun and other wealthy businessmen threw down the carriage directly, their faces full of anger and ruin, and they staggered into the distance.

It's just that the newly cultivated fields in front of them seem to have no end, and no matter where they run, there are endless fields in front of them.

It wasn't until they couldn't run anymore that Wang Lianfu and Zhang Guangkun, a few wealthy businessmen, stopped, sat paralyzed on the ground, looked at the fields with no end in sight in the distance, and wanted to cry without tears!

"How is it possible to reclaim so many acres? How is that possible......"

While wailing, Wang Lianfu picked up a clod of soil from the ground and threw it angrily.

"Who are you? What are you doing sitting in the field? ”

Suddenly, a vigilant voice appeared behind Wang Lianfu.

Hearing this, Wang Lianfu hurriedly stood up, but found that several farmers with pickaxes and shovels on their shoulders appeared behind them and were looking at them vigilantly.

Wang Lianfu hurriedly smiled gently, "We are rich businessmen from outside, I heard that tens of thousands of people in Wanping County are making a bet with His Royal Highness King Yan to reclaim wasteland, so I have come to investigate!" ”

The eyes of these peasant households suddenly lit up, as if they were looking at several large warehouses of grain, "You are also rich businessmen who want to take the opportunity to exchange grain for their fields!" ”

Wang Lianfu had a bad premonition in his heart, "What? ”

A strong man with a purple face sneered: "Don't you rich businessmen want to hope that you can't reclaim 2,000 hectares of land, and you can't borrow grain from His Royal Highness King Yan.

Wait until there is no food to eat at home, and then hoard grain at a high price, and finally use a little grain to take away the newly cultivated field from your hands? ”

Wang Lianfu, Zhang Guangkun and others were suddenly shocked, pointed to the farmers in front of them and asked tremblingly, "How do you know?" ”

"The people of Wanping County, who doesn't know the plans of you grain merchants? It's a pity that we have a good county honor! ”

"Hey......

As he spoke, several farmers shook their heads with laughter on their faces and walked into the distance.
