Chapter 68: Targeted
Qi Yan first hung his head slightly, and then looked up at Yang Feng and said with some shame: "What the adult taught me is that I was derelict in my duty before, so please punish the adult." ”
"Reprimand?"
Yang Feng snorted coldly: "Why am I punishing you?" Did it work? Now what you have to do is how to defeat such a crooked trend, half a month...... The official gives you half a month, and if you can't change the situation after half a month, the official will let a capable person take your place, understand? ”
Qi Yan's face immediately darkened, the position of the pacification officer seemed inconspicuous, but in fact, it was equal to the military judge of the entire Qianhu Office, and he was also the third person in addition to Yang Feng and Geng Bingyi, if Yang Feng wiped off his old face, it would be completely lost.
I saw Qi Yanhuo stand up and said with a cold face: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely lead the military households to patrol day and night, and I will never let those bad people ruin the hard-won good situation of our thousands of households." ”
"If only you knew!" Yang Feng nodded: "We have more displaced people in thousands of households, although the labor force is enhanced, but problems also arise. Especially on the issue of public security, Qi Zhenfu, you have to remember that in the future, if you encounter theft or robbery, your anti-Fu team will immediately arrest you as soon as you find it, and you will be beaten or expelled from our thousands of households. ”
Qi Yan stood up and said loudly: "Humble duty understands! ”
"It's good to understand!" Yang Feng's face softened a little, and then he said: "As the saying goes, in troubled times, it is not enough to deter those small people. Geng deputy Qianhu, now the spring ploughing has passed most of the time, but the matter of land reclamation can not be stopped, I decided to divide the family members and displaced people in addition to the sergeant into three parts: Zhuang Ding, craftsmen and people in charge of public security, Zhuang Ding is responsible for farming and producing chickens and ducks, craftsmen are responsible for building armor, weapons and other military supplies, etc., Minzhuang is also responsible for maintaining the security of thousands of households and deterring those small people in addition to production, and I will leave this matter to you to be responsible, I hope that when I come back, you can do this well, can you do it? ”
Geng Bingyi was shocked when he heard this: "My lord, are you going out again?" ”
"Yes!" Yang Feng nodded: "These days, we have recruited too many displaced people, and I am afraid that there is not enough food to eat, so this official has to go out for a period of time to prepare some food." ”
"There's not enough food." Geng Bingyi asked with some doubts: "My lord, can't we buy it in Nanjing, how can you go out to buy food in person?" ”
"Nanjing?"
Yang Feng snorted coldly and pouted at Li Genu, who was silent on the side, "You ask Li Yanmu." ”
Geng Bingyi looked at Li Ge and asked puzzledly: "Li Yanmu, what is going on?" ”
A wry smile appeared on Li Ge's face, and he said helplessly: "These days, due to the fact that there are too many displaced people, most of the grain that was originally enough for us to eat for four or five months has been consumed, and the remaining grain is only enough for us to eat for a month. ”
"Five taels of silver!"
Everyone let out an exclamation in unison, and Chu Maoguang, who was in a hurry, almost jumped up, his dark face turned purple with anger, "Li Yanmu, aren't you framing us?" In previous years, when the situation was not good, let alone five taels of silver for one stone of grain, even seven taels of silver were available. But it was all during the famine, but this year I didn't hear that we had a great famine here, and at the beginning of the year, we only had one or two taels of silver for one stone of grain here, how dare he ask us for five taels of silver? Didn't they think our silver fell from the sky? ”
"Why didn't I say that?" Li Ge also took a deep breath: "At first, I thought that there was a catastrophe and famine somewhere, but I quietly inquired, others to buy food is still only one or two five dollars of silver, but the price of five taels of silver is for our thousands of households, I went to find those shopkeepers theory, those shopkeepers actually said in unison that it was because we bought a lot of grain, for fear that it would cause the price of grain to fluctuate, so I sold it to us at this price, if we don't like it, we don't buy it, I came back in a fit of anger." ”
"Bang!"
Chu Maoguang, who was in a hurry, smashed his fist on the table, and slammed the table made of sturdy jujube wood, only to see him grit his teeth loudly, "Straight lady thief, those profiteers are really black-hearted, they dare to sell grain to us at such a price, do they really think that we are easy to bully?" Lao Cao, do you dare to take my brothers to the city with me and smash all the grain shops raised by those bitches? ”
"I'm afraid, I'll go with you!" Cao Yingmao also stood up, and a trace of evil appeared on his face.
"Sit it all down for me!"
Geng Bingyi, who was on the side, suddenly shouted, pointed at these two impatient young men and scolded: "You are all hundreds of households, why don't you even have some brains?" Do you really think that those grain merchants will not make money if they have money? Now the matter is obvious, since those grain merchants dare to deal with us so fearlessly, there are naturally people behind them, and their status is not low, they make it clear that they don't want to sell food to us, don't you understand? ”
Cao Yingmao and Chu Maoguang glanced at each other, and then looked at Yang Feng, who was sitting on the side with a calm face and was silent, and then sat down a little reluctantly.
Chu Maoguang said with some disbelief in his mouth: "These people who kill a thousand knives, am I not right, these people are sincere to us, can we still endure it?" ”
Yang Feng glanced at the two of them before saying: "There is no need to talk about this matter, the official already knows who is behind the troublemaker, but now there is no need for us to conflict with them, the top priority is to quickly purchase a batch of food back to make up for the loss during this time, and this matter can only be handled by the official himself." But you don't have to worry, the official will go for seven or eight days soon, and the monthly inquiry will come back at the slow, and during the time when the official returns, the affairs of the Thousand Households will be presided over by Geng Deputy Thousand Households. In addition, the sergeants of our Qianhu Institute have been selected, and you will also train the sergeants in the next few days, do you understand? ”
"Whoa!" Everyone stood up and shouted in unison, "Follow your lord's orders!" ”
"Hmm!"
Yang Feng looked at everyone's serious or serious faces, and nodded slowly, "Everyone, don't worry, if there is anything to wait for the official to come back, the sky won't fall!" ”
