"Everyone, go slowly, we won't send it, and we will post the official document on the order of the county honor."

Two messengers sent a group of dizzy-headed grain merchants to the county yamen, and separated from them, one carrying a paste bucket and the other holding a stack of official documents stamped with the big seal of the county.

"You're busy, you're busy...... Leave us alone. ”

Until the grain merchants walked out of the county office, they were dizzy, as if they had drunk two catties.

The two officers first posted an official document outside the county government wall, and then went to other places to post it.

"From today onwards, there will be 2,500 ...... per stone of grain in Jingnan County."

A group of grain merchants stood in front of the official document that had just been posted, looking at the black and white letters on it and the bright red seal of the magistrate, until this moment, they could no longer believe it, and they were finally sure that it was true.

"County ...... The county really defined the grain price of Jingnan as 2,500 wen per stone of grain! ”

A grain merchant could not control the ecstasy in his heart, stretched out his hand and touched word by word, sniffed greedily, sniffed the ink hard, and then jumped up happily!

"Look at your bear-like ......"

The rest of the grain merchants scoffed, but they weren't much better, grinning like a flower.

"In other places, grain prices are vigorously suppressed, and grain merchants such as us are severely punished, and once they are found to have raised grain prices, they will be imprisoned and raided at the least, and they will be sent to the army to be sent to the army, and at worst, they will be beheaded on the spot and control grain prices by thunderous means. Why does our county not only not suppress food prices, but do so? After the ecstasy, a grain merchant said to the crowd in confusion.

"What, you want the county to cut off your and my heads?!" Suddenly, a few grain merchants gave him a blank look.

"No, I just can't figure it out......" The grain merchant shrunk his neck and laughed.

"Actually, I'm confused now, I can't figure it out......," Shopkeeper Lu scratched his head.

Immediately, several grain merchants agreed, and they really couldn't figure it out.

"Ahem, this is not a place to talk, can you go to the old man's house for a light meal?" The largest grain merchant in Jingnan, the shopkeeper of Yang Ji Grain Store, coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and then touched his gray beard and said meaningfully to everyone.

"I don't dare to ask for it." A group of grain merchants hugged their fists, and there was no one who should not be.

Suddenly, a group of grain merchants surrounded Shopkeeper Yang, laughing all the way, and went to Shopkeeper Yang's house.

Soon, a few tables of banquets were set up in the Yang shopkeeper's house, and a group of grain merchants sat down with guests.

In the Yang shopkeeper's mansion, all the grain merchants have no scruples.

"Shopkeeper Yang, just now you said that the county government is not a place to speak, so you have no scruples in your house. When grain prices were strictly controlled in other places, why did our county issue an official document to forcibly define the grain price in Jingnan at 2,500 wen per stone? ! The county is like this, which is naturally a great joy for us, but we are really confused, lest we spoil this good situation. You are the most well-informed, our county is a famous Zhuge , have you always guessed something, but also for us to solve the puzzle. At the wine table, a grain merchant got up and asked.

"Yes, shopkeeper Yang, the county respects the price of grain by official documents to define the price of grain at 2,500 wen per stone, which is naturally a great joy for us. It's just that we are really confused, lest we spoil this good situation. ”

Many grain merchants followed.

"When something goes wrong, there must be a reason." Shopkeeper Yang stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and said.

"Please also ask Shopkeeper Yang to give advice." A group of grain merchants hugged their fists.

"You are serious, you can't talk about teaching, this is just a little conjecture of the old man, the old man will talk about it, you will listen to it, don't say anything to outsiders." Shopkeeper Yang waved his hand and said.

"Rest assured by Shopkeeper Yang, we are not the people with broken mouths, out of your old mouth, into our ears, except for us here, no third person will know."

All the grain merchants said.

"Do you remember the official position of the county honor?" Shopkeeper Yang narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully.

"The official position of the county honor? Isn't the county the county our Jingnan Zhixian...... No, no, I almost forgot, the county is already the chief of the Zhejiang Sentencing Envoy and the county of Jingnan. ”

After a group of grain merchants blurted out, they remembered that Zhu Ping'an had been promoted because of his anti-Japanese exploits.

"Zhejiang's procuratorial envoy is in charge of affairs, and the county governor of Jingnan is ...... Guys, do you understand?! Our county is actually the five products of Zhejiang according to the procurator of the department, just because Jingnan can not be ignorant of the county for a day, this is the temporary "line" of the seven products of Jingnan Zhixian only, as long as the new county arrives, our county can be appointed as the Zhejiang criminal envoy according to the prosecutor. Our small pond in Jingnan is just a temporary resting place for him. ”

Shopkeeper Yang stroked his beard and said to everyone very meaningfully.

Which businessman is not eight exquisite, Shopkeeper Yang said this, and all the grain merchants have understood.

"The county zun is already on the green clouds, even if the small pond in Jingnan is flooded, it will not affect the county zun at all. Besides, before the flood, the county had already mobilized the county for flood control and flood control, and it was also because the county had this foresight that the flood did not lose a single person in Jingnan, and with this great achievement, the county was already invincible in the flood. ”

Shopkeeper Yang said slowly.

When all the grain merchants heard this, they all nodded, yes, the county lord had already been promoted, and he had taken precautions in advance before the flood, so that Jingnan did not lose a single person, which is already a great achievement. Therefore, the county dared to define the grain price in Jingnan as 2,500 wen per stone.

"What you said is Elder Yang, it's just that the county is like this, it is not beneficial to disaster relief, what good is it for him?"

A grain merchant asked suspiciously.

"Benefits?! Oh, the benefits should be on us. Elder Yang laughed.

"What do you mean?" The grain merchant was puzzled.

Before Yang Lao answered, the grain merchant next to him rushed to answer, and sneered, "You are stupid, Yang Lao has said it so clearly, you still don't understand?!" The county honored the grain price at 2,500 wen per stone, and allocated this great benefit to me and others, shouldn't we show it to the county honorable?! You don't understand the principle of courtesy and reciprocation?! ”

"What? You mean the county honor...... Impossible, the county is known as the blue sky, not such a person. ”

The grain merchant suddenly realized, only then shook his head, skeptical of this conclusion.

"Knowing people and knowing faces, you can't still be ignorant of your heart, how do you know that the county is not such a person? ! Besides, shopkeeper Zhang, you are still a famous good person in your town, how can you actually not force the number in your own heart, do you need us to demolish it for you one by one? ”

There was a person next to him who knew the truth of the shopkeeper, and he couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and said to him.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper Zhang's face turned red, and he stopped talking.

"Before the county was promoted, he naturally cherished his feathers and whitewashed his fame, and now the county has been promoted to the secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Prosecution Department, why do you have to work hard to disguise it in this small place in Jingnan?! If you want to disguise, you also go to Zhejiang to remind you to take up the post of the Inspector General, and then work hard to disguise! Besides, if you want to be prosperous in this year, you have to go up and down, and you need silver. Our county is already a member of the five grades at a young age, and at first glance it is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely not be satisfied with the punishment of the five grades, and he must want to rise again and transfer to the capital, these are all silver! ”

"That is, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the county is naturally no exception!"

"Get promoted and get rich, get promoted and get rich, the county officials have been promoted, so they naturally want to get rich."

The grain merchants nodded their heads one after another, deeply agreed.
