"Folks, great news! Wang Lezi was put on death row! ”

"Really? Wang Lezi really can't come back in the future! ”

For a time, the cheers in the village square were deafening!

"I knocked down Liu Cheng, and now I have got rid of Wang Lezi, I don't think I'm so happy for the New Year!"

Niu Meng almost grinned under his ears, and Xiao Feng's back was cold.

"That...... Mengzi, why don't you go to our warehouse to see if there are any bamboo rats that haven't been sold, and bake them to celebrate. ”

Niu Meng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, yes, Brother Feng still has an idea!" In the future, our village will have to write down today's day so that the future generations can celebrate. ”

Xiao Feng straightened his waist and called a few villagers to pick up a pile of firewood.

"There are more than 30 people in the village, even if there are some children running around, it should be enough to roast 40 bamboo rats."

Muttering, Xiao Feng looked in the direction where Niu Meng left, only feeling a little strange.

Xiao's house is only a stick of incense from the entrance of the village, why did Niu Meng go for so long and didn't come back, could it be that the bamboo rat is gone, and he is catching it now?

Feeling uneasy, Xiao Feng got up and went home.

Sure enough, he found Niu Meng in his warehouse who was anxious and empty-handed.

"Brother Feng, it must be Wang Lezi who stole all the bamboo rats you collected!"

Xiao Feng originally wanted to get some bamboo rats and let the villagers discuss the future business while eating, but now that his hands are empty, there is nothing he can do.

"Forget it, if you don't, you won't have it!"

Returning to the well with Niu Meng, he found that the villagers who were immersed in joy had not dispersed, and Xiao Feng immediately walked to the middle of the crowd.

"Folks, be quiet, I, Xiao Feng, have something to say to you!"

Seeing Xiaofeng speak, the rest of the crowd immediately quieted down.

"I, Xiao Feng, have been dealing with Liu Cheng in Yanyang County some time ago, and the business in the village has been delayed for a while. But don't worry, because of the bamboo rat business delayed by Wang Lezi, I will slowly compensate everyone! ”

Xiao Feng thought that everyone should be very happy to hear his determination, but what he never expected was that the villagers all had dishes on their faces and looked like they were suffering.

"Well, or I'...... Double compensation for everyone? ”

Xiao Feng gritted his teeth.

For such a long time, even if the family only sold a few dozen less, it would be enough for him to lose money for a while! If it weren't for the bitter looks of everyone, he would be reluctant to bleed!

"Brother Xiao, in fact, in the past few days since you left, we haven't sold many bamboo rats at all!"

Xiao Feng was a little surprised, so he called someone from the future and carefully inquired about what had happened in the neighborhood for a while.

"The sales of bamboo rats have dropped so much!"

Xiao Feng had also thought that the sales of bamboo rats would sooner or later saturate the market in the county, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly!

"Mengzi, how about our mosquito coils?"

For the first time, Xiao Feng thought of mosquito coils. Now that the love period between the people of the county and the bamboo rat has passed, presumably the mosquito coil will not be much better.

Sure enough, the answer Niu Meng gave him was exactly the same as he expected.

"Oh no, there's still a lot of unsold in the warehouse! By the way, Brother Feng, we only buy and not sell the yellow artemisia, and the money is very tight. ”

Originally, with a little money, Xiao Feng's old business could last for a while. But the one who spent money to buy incriminating evidence really cost him a lot of silver. If he doesn't hurry up to find another day to get money, I'm afraid that the whole village will have to drink the northwest wind with him.

"Mengzi, since bamboo rats and mosquito coils are not easy to sell, then I will collect a little less in the future."

After following Xiao Feng for so long, Niu Meng can still figure out the reason that there is a business to make money, and there is no business to stop losses, but when these words reach the ears of the villagers, they are as uncomfortable as a needle prick.

"That...... Young Master Xiao, let's take less bamboo rats...... What is the method? ”

A middle-aged man who looked honest stumbled and asked, and after speaking, he kept looking back at the woman who was about his age behind him.

With the first person to eat crabs, the conversation box of other people has finally gradually opened.

"Young Master Xiao, can you give us a word now?"

"Is the price of the bamboo rats that have been caught now going to be reduced?"

……

Seeing that the villagers were in a mess with what they said, Xiao Feng immediately stood on the edge of the well, raised his hands and shouted loudly.

"Listen to me, everybody!"

After looking at the trembling villagers, Xiao Feng sat back in his place.

"It was originally scheduled to be taken away, but I, Xiao Feng, will not reduce the price! It's just that bamboo rats are not selling well now, so I want to cut the amount of bamboo rats I collect in half. ”

As soon as the words fell, the dishes on the faces of the villagers became a little thicker.

"Young Master Xiao, we also know that you are in difficulty, but can you ...... a few days later Wang Lezi took away a lot of our money, and I really can't open the pot! ”

An old man finished these words with a red face, and then there was a deathly silence.

The villagers also knew that this practice would make Xiao Feng lose a lot of money, but in order to survive, they had no choice.

"Brother Xiao, why don't you pay us some money, and when the autumn harvest is over, we will pay you back and give you a point...... No, two cents of interest! ”

The young man facing Qingxiu rubbed his hungry belly, and his tone was full of helplessness.

"Okay, I agree......"

"I agree."

Although the interest rate of two cents is very high, everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they still bow their heads in unison.

Xiao Feng's pupils suddenly shook.

Two cents of interest, one or two silver goes out, and comes back into one or two two dollars and four, isn't this a proper Zhou peeling method!

If he agrees to come down today, he Xiao Feng will be the next Liu Cheng in Surabaya Village in the future!

"I disagree!"

Xiao Feng's words, righteous words, and categorical.

"What do you think of me Xiao Feng! I, Xiao Feng, want everyone to help me make money, but I will never take the opportunity to suck your blood! ”

Everyone present lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say anything more.

"Mengzi, you can count it later, see how much money the villagers need to borrow to support the autumn harvest, and report the number to me."

Niu Meng agreed as quickly as he could.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'll do it in a while. It's just that the interest on this borrowed money, do I charge it according to the official family and everyone, or do you give it a number? ”

The eyes of the villagers gradually lit up, everyone knew that the interest rate of the official family borrowing money was pitifully low, but every year the money from the imperial court was cut off in the hands of the county order, and they never got it, and they never asked for it.

Therefore, if Xiao Feng collects half a cent of interest according to the official family, he Xiao Feng will be a great sage like Guanyin Bodhisattva in the village from now on.

But what the villagers never expected was that the conditions proposed by Xiao Feng were several times more charitable than charity itself!
