Li Qingshan gasped.

He looked at Xiao Fan in a daze: "Brother...... This is the enemy of the world's grain merchants! ”

Suppressing food prices?

Or in the season of famine, large quantities of grain were forcibly dumped, thereby driving down the market price.

This kind of behavior is to save the world, but at the same time it is looking for death.

No one dared to do this except the imperial court!

for it is in the way of all the grain merchants.

In this world, there are two kinds of businessmen, the most unconscionable.

One is human teeth.

The second is a grain merchant!

In any time of turmoil, and in all years of famine, grain merchants make the most money.

Even, most grain merchants will hoard grain, and if it is moldy, they will not sell it at a low price, and they must wait until an opportunity to sell it at a high price.

If you have a black heart, you can earn a lifetime of money all at once.

It is commonly known as eating a full bite.

As for the common people, who can't afford to eat food, what will they do if they starve to death?

I don't care, of course I don't care.

Otherwise, why is it "Shinong Industry and Commerce"?

Even in many dynasties, merchants were not even comparable to the status of the untouchables.

"Xiao Gongzi, are you going to do this?" Cui Hong said incredulously, "Offending the grain merchants is equivalent to offending most of the courtiers, and ...... in the future."

She couldn't even imagine it.

Even if it is appreciated by many people and the emperor, if it offends a large number of officials, it is an act of seeking death.

You're going to make mistakes.

That's right, it can be made for you, and then let you carry it, and it will dispose of you.

You can't tell if you are wronged, and no one cares if you go to the imperial court's yamen, because they are all raccoon dogs.

You don't know if you're ringing the drum or your own death knell.

Li Qingshan said: "During the Qingren period, there were rich people who scattered their wealth to relieve disasters and sold grain to the people at low prices...... But in the end, he ate the lawsuit, and the grain he sold in the name appeared in other shops, and he sold it several times the difference. ”

"The government said that he was a left-handed hand-to-right-hander, selling fame and fame while making a fortune in the country...... In the end, he was sentenced to beheading, exiled by the whole clan, and confiscated his family property......"

After speaking, Li Qingshan was sarcastic, and he didn't know if he was laughing at Xiao Fan, or laughing at the great good man, or mocking the court?

Or are they both?

Xiao Fan doesn't know how thick the sky is; laugh at the great good man, and do not know that the human heart is sinister; Laugh at the court reversing black and white!

Xiao Fan frowned: "Is he really left hand to right hand, or was he calculated?" ”

"Is there a difference?"

Li Qingshan sneered:

"When he sells grain, the common people line up to buy low-cost grain, and even if there is a second sale of grain, how much is it?"

"Most of the local people have been favored."

"But when he died, the people followed the prisoner cart and threw rotten vegetable leaves at him, shouting that he should be killed."

Li Qingshan said disdainfully: "Brother, you tell my brother, is this the retribution he deserves?" ”

Xiao Fan was silent.

Emeralds were silent.

Zhang Zongbao: "Fuck, what kind of dog thing?" Dare to frame goodness like this, let Lao Tzu know and quietly slaughter him, and hang his dog's head on the city wall! ”

Xiao Fan, Li Qingshan, Cui Hong: "......"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

It's got to be you, Zong Bao'er!

"What's his name?" Xiao Fan asked.

Li Qingshan: "Ang? ”

"I'm talking about the great good man."

"My surname is Wang, but I forgot what it was called, it's been many years." Li Qingshan shook his head.

Xiao Fan was silent again.

Forgot......

Hehe.

Li Qingshan: "Look, I forgot about him...... So, what's the use of doing these good things? ”

"History books don't remember such little people."

"You and I won't remember such a hero."

"The people who have been blessed will not remember to whom they have received their share of the low-priced bread!"

"That's the way the world is."

Xiao Fan and Zhang Zongbao said in unison: "It shouldn't be like this!" ”

Xiao Fan said calmly, while Zhang Zongbao was indignant.

Li Qingshan was stunned, he didn't expect that Xiao Fan, such a rational and intelligent person, was actually not cold in his heart.

"What kind of bullshit is this?"

Zhang Zongbao said coldly: "It's just that you don't remember Shopkeeper Li!" ”

"That person's name is Wang Fanxiang, my father told me that we must remember the name of this benefactor for the rest of our lives, and our whole family will worship this benefactor's tablet for generations!"

Li Qingshan was like being struck by lightning, and in his chaotic memory, three big characters suddenly appeared.

Wang Fanxiang!

It seems to glow with golden light.

Cui Hong exclaimed: "Brother Zhang knows this person? ”

"Thirty-seven years ago, there was a widespread famine across the country, and food prices were dozens of times higher than usual. My father was still a child, and thanks to the good people of the king, he got a bag of cheap grain, and the whole family survived the most difficult days, and survived until the ...... of disaster relief in the imperial court."

Zhang Zongbao said: "The tablet of that benefactor is still in the ancestral house of the Zhang family, and I often go over to add incense after redeeming the house." ”

"This ......"

Li Qingshan scratched his head in embarrassment, but he didn't expect that he would just give a random example and ask Xiao Fan not to learn to be a bad person.

Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face by Zhang Zongbao like this.

Cui Hong said: "Brother Zhang, do you know the inside story?" ”

She was very interested, not for the truth, but for the subconscious gossip.

Xiao Fan is concerned about the truth: "Zongbao, you tell me a little bit more." ”

Zhang Zongbao nodded and said:

"My father said that when Wang Dashan was arrested, some people gave him an umbrella for the people, and some people stormed the government to avenge him."

"But in the end, no one can resist the imperial court, and the big men behind those grain merchants want to make an example of chickens and monkeys."

"Wang Dashan's prisoner car, the people escorted all the way, and if someone throws rotten vegetable leaves, they will be beaten."

"Until the execution, people kept giving him guillotine wine, and many people carried food boxes, and my father made rice balls with the leftover grain and fed Wang Dashan a mouthful."

Zhang Zongbao cried when he thought of it.

"Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, that is, now His Majesty, he overturned the case for Wang Dashanren, but unfortunately many people no longer know who Wang Fanxiang is."

"The descendants of Wang Dashan were able to return to Beijing and get back their ancestral homestead and fields, and the court also compensated some rewards."

Zhang Zongbao said: "Today's first assistant Wang Fanju is the younger brother of Wang Dashan. ”

"What?!"

Xiao Fan was shocked!

Li Qingshan was shocked!

The emerald red mouth couldn't close.

Zhang Zongbao said: "I heard that Wang Fan's career was smooth, and it was because the court was sorry for Wang Fanxiang that His Majesty promoted him all the way. ”

Li Qingshan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

glanced at Xiao Fan.

Wang Fanju still has such a background?

No wonder, the emperor hasn't touched him until now, it's just house arrest.

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Fan sighed in his heart, if Wang Fanxiang was still there, he didn't know how sad he would be to see such a younger brother.

"I didn't expect such a piece of history to be involved." Li Qingshan felt particularly coincidental.

Xiao Fan also said: "Brother, the example you gave seems to be biased. ”

Li Qingshan nodded.

Cui Hong said:

"Maybe the story we heard was changed by those grain merchants, who just wanted to stigmatize Wang Dashan and give him a crime that could not be cleaned."

"It may also be to attack Wang Fanju that he gave his brother such a choreography." Xiao Fan shook his head and sighed.

Perhaps, Wang Fanju's mistakes today are also related to this, right?

is as good as his brother, but he was beheaded by the imperial court.

If being a good person will not lead to a good death, why should I be a good person?

Of course, Wang Fanju will hate, and his biased thinking and demeanor are also well-founded.

"In short, I still think that you can't be a bad person."

"Especially brother, if you want to learn from Wang Fanxiang to suppress food prices, this will really cause death."

"I'm not afraid."

Xiao Fan said calmly: "No one can frame me." ”

"You're so naïve."

Li Qingshan said: "Do you think that you are the person of the King of Qi, and you can ignore those corrupt officials and corrupt officials with the emperor's secret guard to monitor and protect you?" ”

"They have a way to frame you perfectly, and no one can protect you, a net they have built up and down...... It can trap you firmly and let others slaughter you! ”

"Wang Fanxiang is not an exception, there are many people like him who died unexplained in history."

Xiao Fan smiled: "Maybe there will be more, but I won't be one of them." ”

At this point, Xiao Fan is very confident.

Li Qingshan glared: "Why do you think so? ”

I don't know where your confidence comes from!

"Brother, wait and see."

Xiao Fan didn't say it explicitly, but said: "When that day comes, at least I have the strength to lift the table." ”

Li Qingshan shook his head helplessly.

"That's it!"

"Brother, you are very bold, I am not as good as you, I can do the first two things, and I can't interfere in this matter of price reduction."

Li Qingshan said decisively: "My brother doesn't want to die yet, and I don't have the confidence like you, I have to protect myself." ”

"That's good...... I will buy grain from you, and I will do it at a lower price. Xiao Fan didn't force him.

"Doesn't that mean you're still participating?" Li Qingshan glared.

Cui Hong glanced at Lao Deng: "Father......"

"Don't say it, it's useless for you to say it, I'm not involved in this matter! If you're short of money, brother, I can lend you, but I can't let people know that I borrowed it! ”

Li Qingshan was very cautious: "This is much more dangerous than doing refined salt business!" ”
