When she agreed to do this, Mrs. Zhou didn't think much about it, she just wanted to do her part.

Now that Li Yan said this, her heart was overwhelming, and the blood in her whole body was boiling.

If only I could leave a mark in the history books.

Even if it's just the word Zhou, it's enough for her to reminisce in this life.

The mother and daughter were chatting about the mask, and Li Si came over to discuss with Zhou Bi.

Yesterday, after Zhou Bi and Li Yan agreed on borrowing grain, they handed over the matter to Li Si for arrangement.

Now that Li Si has received people, he is outside to obey orders.

Li Yanxin said that the county and the county are going to be lively again.

Mrs. Zhou was in a hurry to go back to the house to make a mask, and Li Yan herself also went back to Yaoxiangtang to make up for sleep.

The mother and daughter left together without disturbing Zhou Bi's errands.

If you want to say that you are busy, you are still busy, and when I saw the manpower arranged by Li Si, I asked them a few words.

Just go to the quarantine point in the city and take a turn.

Li Yan's improved new prescription had already been distributed by the main man, and the patients in this area of the west of the city had already used the medicine, and the effect of the medicine had not been shown so quickly.

Zhou Bi inspected and saw that everything was in order, so he drove back to the base camp in the west of the city and waited for Li Si's good news.

and the county Ma family.

Ma Changdiao, the head of the Ma family, just got off the bed of the concubine, shirtless, and was dressing.

The housekeeper hurriedly came over to report, saying that someone from the yamen had sent over, "Master, the person who came is not good." ”

Ma Changdiao frowned, "How many people came?" ”

The housekeeper said, "If there are not many people, I'll let them wait for you in the side hall." ”

Ma Changdiao listened to it and disagreed, "We and the people in the government have always been good water and do not interfere with river water, I'm afraid that it is not the county government that is poor, and we have come here to fight the autumn breeze." Give some silver taels, and send it away at will. ”

As soon as the housekeeper left, the snake-like body of the concubine in the family was entangled again, and she changed her voice delicately, "Master." ”

Suddenly, Ma Changdiao's unbuttoned clothes fell to the ground.

This little concubine Ma Chang Diao has just been admitted to the room, and she is fresh.

was so teased by her, and she was energetic again.

He turned around, pinched vigorously on the big P share of the little concubine, and pounced, "See if the master doesn't kill you." ”

The little concubine snorted and dodged left and right, "Master, don't come, spare me." ”

Ma Changdiao loves this set the most, and was about to come to the second round, when the housekeeper knocked on the door again.

When Ma Changdiao came to the side hall, he was very angry.

Anyone who is interrupted by such a good thing will not have a good face, let alone people like Ma Changdiao.

When he saw Li Si, Ma Changdiao's face was gloomy, "Rare guest, rare guest, which gust of wind blew Li Bantou here." ”

Ma Changdiao sat down and let people serve tea. He winked at the butler, and the butler took the silver tickets and stuffed them one by one.

"Li Bantou, it's a little meaning, you have time to take your brothers to the building for tea."

One hundred taels of silver, you can't send a person, one hundred taels is not enough, then two hundred taels.

Under Ma Changdiao's signal, the housekeeper gave three hundred taels of silver, and the other party was as stable as Mount Tai, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

Not to mention the tea made by the housekeeper, Li Si didn't drink a sip.

This is clearly not giving face.

Ma Changdiao was angry and said angrily, "Li Bantou, what do you mean by this?" ”

You must know that an ordinary servant only earns more than ten taels a year, and a small leader like Li Si will not earn more than twenty taels a year at most, and he gave him three hundred taels, which is equivalent to his income for fifteen years.

As the saying goes, the people are not with the officials, not to mention that Ma Changdiao is in a gray business, and there is no clean business like gambling houses and brothels.

Moreover, these officials came to the door for the first time in several years, and Ma Changdiao also showed enough sincerity.

didn't think about it, they didn't make a move, and when they did, they were so greedy.

Three hundred taels of silver could not stuff their mouths.

"I'd like to ask you?"

Li Si sneered, "Master Ma, I didn't even express my intentions, you threw silver taels at me without saying a word, who are you trying to bribe?" ”

Ma Chang was worried about a sigh.

It seems that the comer is not good.

Ma Changdiao thought about it again and again with a calm face, but still felt that the money was not in place, so he said, "Li Bantou, if you think that three hundred taels is not enough for a few brothers' expenses, can you make a price?" ”

Ma Changdiao is doing business with the county, and he doesn't want to offend these bad masters.

Otherwise, no one will be happy.

From time to time, I come to the gambling house to make a fuss and give some small shoes to wear, which affects the business and outweighs the loss.

"Ma Ye is so big."

Li said expressionlessly, "So that you can know that according to the law of the great cause, bribe officials one hundred taels, thirty taels, more than one hundred taels, fifty taels, three hundred taels or more, and be exiled." ”

As soon as Li Si said this, Ma Changdiao's face turned green.

But he is also a good person, and immediately said with a smile, "Look at what you said, what kind of bribery is not bribery, Li Bantou misunderstood, I didn't look at the hard work of the brothers, give some silver, and let the brothers drink tea." ”

Li Sirao said with interest, "What kind of tea costs three hundred taels of silver?" Master Ma, let's talk about it. ”

Under Li Si's forced gaze, Ma Changdiao stiffened his face and was speechless.

At this time, Li Si sneered again, "It seems that Ma Ye's business is a big business, and ordinary people spend less than one tael of silver and tea money, and it will cost three hundred taels to get here." ”

Ma Changdiao's face changed.

Li Si didn't seem to see his ugly face.

said with a smile, "You should also know that the epidemic in Hexian County is serious now, and there is a shortage of money and food. No, the county magistrate sent me to borrow food. ”

It's really begging, Ma Changdiao asked with a calm face, "How much do you need, if not much." ”

He didn't mind sending someone away.

Li Si's face was not red or panting, "It's not much, it's just nine hundred deniers." ”

"Nine hundred deniers?" Ma Chang screamed.

It's not much, it's to empty his granaries.

Since the outbreak of the drought, the price of grain has risen wildly every day.

The price of rice has risen from one tael of silver after spring ploughing to more than six taels of silver now.

Ma Changdiao has dozens of gambling houses and brothels of all sizes, and there are hundreds of thousands of people under him.

As soon as the price of rice began to rise, he began to hoard grain one after another.

One has a lot of subordinates, and these people all want to eat.

Second, he hoarded these rice to wait for the price of rice to reach almost ten taels, and then use it to resell.

As a businessman, if you don't make money, you're a fool.

He will hoard less than a thousand deniers.

Li Si opened his mouth and asked for nine hundred deniers, why didn't he grab it, he would give it if he was stupid.

"What, what does Ma Ye mean, this nine hundred deniers is still less?"

Li Si deliberately misinterpreted what he meant, and his face was excited, "It would be great if Master Ma could provide thousands of dans." The more the merrier, the more the merrier. ”

your thousands of deniers, once he doesn't give it, the more the better.

Where is this door-to-door swing, this is a door-to-door forced break-in, such a robber, is it still worthy of being an official?

Li Si couldn't see his ugly face, so he flattered him, "You are so generous and righteous, when the time comes, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of the county magistrate." ”
