"Taking advantage of the fact that it is still early before the autumn harvest, he raised the price of grain, and then enclosed the land??"

"Is he Liang Xiao still human! Is it worthy of the expectations of the people of Yanzhou? ”

The first to react fiercely were the scholars of Yanzhou Academy.

This time, the crowd was furious, and it was still above Liang Xiao's killing of the ram Lei.

They had found the best reason to attack Liang Xiao.

Infringe on the people!

Higashino is getting more and more difficult at home.

"He raised the price of food, and I can understand that he had to do it as a last resort."

But he took the opportunity to release the news and announced that he was ready to buy the land, which was intentional...... It's already obvious favoritism, right? ”

Higashino Hongji was also speechless in the face of his brother's questioning.

"Anyway, let's leave it alone, trust Dad's judgment!"

Dongye Luoyue on the side sneered: "Grandpa, he is over eighty years old, there will always be times when he is confused!" You listen to grandpa in everything, how will you support this family with my dad in the future! ”

Without waiting for Higashino Hongji to speak, Higashino Xuanji was angrily reprimanded.

"How did you talk to your uncle!"

Dongye Luoyue snorted: "Who asked my uncle to help Liang Xiao defend all the time, my niece, or Liang Xiao kissed him?" ”

Higashino Xuanji was also speechless.

Now he is faced with a dilemma.

Liang Xiao's practice of raising the price to enclose land is already unfair.

"Talk to him for my father!"

Seeing this, Higashino Hongji got up and said, "I'll go with me." ”

Dongye Luoyue choked and said: "You are only angry when you go, he will only fool you again and again!" ”

Liang Xiao, who was in the Taishou Mansion, heard that the two heroes of the Dongye clan were visiting, so he also put down the official documents at hand and arranged for a reception in the hall.

"Marquis Lanling, our family admires your determination to come to Yanzhou to do business, and has cooperated with you quite well, and the grain has also been sold to the government at a price of sixty wen and one stone."

"But after you collect the grain, you raise the price and enclose the land, is this done wrong?"

In the hall, Dongye Xuanji finally expressed his dissatisfaction to Liang Xiao, and at the same time looked at Liang Xiao, his eyes were full of disappointment.

The next life in front of him is only eighteen years old after all!

Yanzhou is the hometown of the Dongye clan, and if there is a big chaos here, the Dongye clan will become a rootless duckweed.

I really can't let him do anything!

Liang Xiao was just unhurried, and asked rhetorically: "Then the head of the Dongye family will tell me, if I don't come to Yanzhou, Yanzhou is still governed by Mr. Dongye, what will the development of the city be?" Is it difficult to rise to 400 wen a stone? Now, I only carry 80 wen 1 stone, which is still very early to 400 wen 1 stone. ”

Higashino Hongji was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "This ......"

Dongye Xuanji glanced at Liang Xiao dissatisfiedly: "Brother Shedi has done his best, and besides, he is the person who supports you the most in the entire Dongye Clan, so you don't have to put the blame on him, right?" In this way, wouldn't it chill the younger brother and even the entire Higashino clan? ”

"Mr. Higashino is doing his best, of course I know it, but it's just a matter of facts." Liang Xiao looked serious.

Dongye Hongji took the opportunity and said: "Brother, Liang Taishou is just right about things and not people, what does he mean that Yanzhou will develop if it maintains its original governance?" ”

Higashino fell silent.

"Even if Mr. Higashino is replaced by someone else, if certain changes are not made, will Yanzhou be able to avoid soaring food prices, population loss, and barren land?" Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Even then, you can't be so blatant, can you?" Higashino Xuanji frowned.

The younger brother on the side shook his head at him frequently, and he turned a blind eye.

His family is the Dongye clan, the former Dawang clan, and even above the Duanmu family.

Why bow down to a descendant who prepares fish and meat?

Liang Xiao said:

"Soon after I came to Yanzhou, I issued a decree to act vigorously and resolutely, cut the ram thunder, punish the bullies, and improve the law and order in Yanzhou. Don't I Liang Xiao have people in my heart? ”

"Last year was not a bad harvest, and the famine was clearly caused by the withdrawal of the rice merchants. Millions of stone of grain, say withdraw! The head of the Higashino family, did you accuse those rice merchants? ”

Higashino Xuanji was stunned for a moment and said, "No!" ”

"Then you don't blame the source, why do you blame me?" Liang Xiao asked.

Higashino Xuanji was speechless.

Liang Xiao seems to be right.

Dongye Hongji hurriedly played a round and said: "Brother, what Liang Taishou means is that the shortage of grain now is only because the rice is in the hands of those rice merchants, and the court cannot be allowed to go until it is absolutely necessary." After all, those of us who have been officials and have managed grain also know that grain is transported from other places or even from the south, and its consumption and freight are immeasurable! ”

Liang Xiao nodded in praise at this time: "Mr. Dongye can see it through." ”

"But how do you stop the crowd?" Higashino asked stubbornly.

"Why do you want to block the mouths of the people?" Liang Xiao asked rhetorically.

Higashino was stunned again.

"Marquis Lanling, you don't care about your reputation so much?"

Liang Xiao smiled: "I just see if the people's livelihood in Yanzhou can be improved, and the reputation of the moment is so important?" ”

Dongye Xuanji's expression was a little dark, and he arched his hand and said: "Then please ask the Marquis of Lanling to teach you!" ”

Liang Xiao said: "Dongye family master, my Liang Xiao's plan must be kept secret, and it is really inconvenient to disclose it." ”

The brothers looked depressed.

They were one black and one white, and they gave Liang Xiao enough to go down the steps.

Liang Xiao is so faceless?

Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao changed his words and added: "But I promise you that within half a year, this artificially created food shortage will be solved." ”

Both brothers looked incredulous.

The initiative is in the hands of those withdrawn rice merchants, and even the Higashino clan was caught off guard by their rush this year!

What can Liang Xiao do?

Qin Baili, the county prince, watched from the beginning to the end, and finally spoke: "What the two adults are worried about is nothing more than whether the people of Yanzhou will suffer. If the Marquis of Lanling just wanted to gain political qualifications for himself, why did he come to the north? In everyone's hearts, they all care about the people! ”

The brothers felt a lot more comfortable.

"It turns out that the Marquis of Lanling has a deep meaning, it's me who is shallow! should cooperate with you, and the Dongye clan has also cooperated, looking forward to the people of Yanzhou to tide over the difficulties! I'm waiting to say goodbye! ”

While Higashino Xuanji got up to say goodbye, he bit the word "people" very hard.

Liang Xiao hurriedly said: "I am grateful for the cooperation of the two of you, but after you go back, you will only claim that you have no results in negotiating with me, the price of grain should rise, the land should be bought, and you should be angry and angry." ”

The brothers were confused again.

But considering that they are no longer in the management of Yanzhou, the brothers had no choice but to agree.

Back at home, even Higashino Hongji couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what kind of fame is he doing?" ”

Higashino Xuanji said helplessly: "Go and ask my father's opinion!" ”

Half a day later, Higashino Luoyue looked at Higashino Xuanji with an angry face, and couldn't help but be proud.

"I've told you a long time ago! You're only humiliating yourself when you go to him! How old is he, the milk smell has not dried up, how can he pretend to be the people of Yanzhou in his heart? ”

"In the end, he is not like the gang of people in his uncle's mouth, preying on the common people, forcibly taking and plundering!"

Considering the promise to Liang Xiao, Dongye Xuanji did not refute it, but said impatiently: "Recently, you have continued to be grounded. ”

Higashino Falling Moon cried angrily.

The unsuccessful negotiation between the two heroes of the Dongye clan and Liang Xiao also spread.

For a time, the people of Yanzhou were full of complaints.
