When Kim returned to the village, he saw a large group of villagers surrounding several carts, around which several men in strong suits were standing, and on top of the cart stood a man dressed as a merchant, shouting to collect grain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Why did someone come to the village to collect grain?" Jin Genbao wondered in his heart, but his grain had already been sold, and there was nothing he could do. When I asked the price again, the person who came to the village to collect grain was one stone of brown rice and two taels of silver, and one stone of millet was one or two pieces of silver, and the purchase price was twice as high as in Pyongyang!

Jin Genbao was full of regret in his heart, but it was useless to regret it, his grain had already been sold, where could he go to give birth to grain to sell to this conscientious grain merchant?

Cui Zhenping, who was on the side, lowered his voice and whispered in Jin Genbao's ear: "Didn't you say that the grain should be sold to the grain merchants of the Eight Banners?" This kind of person comes to collect grain at a high price, and he must be a smuggler! ”

Jin Genbao sighed: "it!" The purchase price of smuggling is high! It's a pity that we don't have any food in our hands, otherwise I would have sold it to smugglers! ”

"Yes, yes!" Cui Zhenping nodded, "I'm the same, I regret dying!" I knew I wouldn't be going out this morning! Waiting at home, there are still people who come to buy food at a high price! ”

There is no regret medicine in the world, and Jin Genbao can only go home helplessly.

Back at home, Kim Gen-bo's wife came up and asked, "How is it?" How much did you sell it for? Did you buy cotton? There are also fire oil, down jackets, sweaters! With those things, winter is so much better! ”

Jin Genbao shook his head in disappointment: "No, the purchase price in the city is too low!" One stone of brown rice is only one tael of silver, and one stone of millet is only five hundred pieces of silver, and I have sold grain, which is only enough to pay taxes and rent, where is the money to buy those things? ”

"What?" My wife's face changed drastically, and she scolded angrily, "You useless thing! Eight Banners Trading House is so cheating us, you won't pull the grain back? Look! How nice it is to pull it back! Park Jimin, who is next door, sold to a merchant who came to the village to buy grain, and see how much money they took home! It's also money, but you can buy as much more with that money! ”

Jin Genbao said very confidently: "Forget it, it's all sold, what else can you say?" Most of the grain merchants who come to the village to buy grain are smugglers, and I'm worried about selling them to them. ”

"Worried about what?" The wife was so angry that she screwed Jin Genbao's ears, "Killing the head is also killing the head of the smuggling businessman, you grow food, and you can't be implicated if something happens, what are you afraid of?" Isn't it good to use more money? Even though it's money, you can go to the city to buy something! Hey, I was really blind at the beginning, how could I marry you as a loser! ”

The husband and wife had a quarrel and were in a cold war for five days in a row.

Five days later, suddenly a large group of North Korean green battalion soldiers wearing red tassels and hats and uniforms appeared at the entrance of the village, led by several North Korean Eight Banner soldiers, and rushed into the village.

"It's strange, why are these soldiers here all of a sudden?" Seeing the officers and soldiers coming, Jin Genbao was very puzzled.

"All the people, all out of the house! Meet at the village entrance threshing floor! The leader of the Eight Banners of North Korea, dressed in yellow cotton armor and wearing a helmet with a high lightning rod, shouted.

All the villagers, whether they were elderly, children, or women, were driven out of their homes and gathered on the threshing floor at the entrance of the village.

"Everyone's here!" The leader of the North Korean Eight Banners looked around, this guy looked ugly, and his eyes showed a murderous aura, which made the villagers creepy.

"Good! Now that everyone has arrived, this official will speak today! In your village, there are Diao people who dare not sell grain to the grain merchants of the Eight Banners designated by the imperial court, but sell the grain to illegal smuggling merchants! That's it! But these people actually took counterfeit money to the city to buy goods! Even pay taxes with counterfeit money! It's lawless! Where did you put the royal law of the imperial court? Today, this official is here to severely punish a group of Diao people! The leader of the Eight Banners of North Korea yelled.

"Counterfeit bills?" The villagers looked at each other.

North Korean villagers who sold their grain to smugglers were nervous, fearing that the grain they sold would be exchanged for counterfeit money.

At this time, a group of North Korean green battalion soldiers who entered the villagers' homes and searched through the cabinets came out, and the banknotes found from the villagers' homes were placed on a table, and on each stack of banknotes, someone wrote a note and placed it next to the banknotes. Because of the counterfeit banknotes involved, none of these North Korean green battalion soldiers dared to hide the banknotes they had found, because they didn't know which ones were fake and which were genuine.

The leader of the North Korean Eight Banners sneered and picked up the list: "Min Shancai!" ”

"The grass people are here, I don't know what the adults call the grass people?" An old man dressed in muslin clothes and who looked to be from a very good family walked out tremblingly.

Jin Genbao knew that this old man named Min Shancai was a rich peasant in the village, and his family had more than 20 acres of land, all of which were his own farmland, and the family cultivated the land by themselves, and hired a few helpers, and the conditions at home were very good. This year's grain harvest was bumper, and Min Shancai did not seem to go into the city to sell grain, but sold all the grain to smugglers.

The leader of the North Korean Eight Banners pointed to a box on the table and sneered: "This is your money box, right?" ”

"My lord, it's the grass people's, I don't know what mistakes the grass people have made, which makes the adults so angry." Min Shancai asked tremblingly, beads of sweat dripping from his head.

"Hahaha!" The leader of the Eight Banners looked up to the sky and laughed, "The Qing Dynasty dragon banknotes in your box are all fake!" You old man violated the ban of the imperial court and sold grain to smugglers, but you actually used counterfeit money to cheat the Eight Banners Trading House, and used fake money to pay taxes to the imperial court, are you guilty? ”

Min Shancai was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, spare my life!" The grass people really didn't know it was a counterfeit banknote. ”

The leader of the Eight Banners didn't talk nonsense, but turned his head and asked a green battalion general: "You come and tell him how to punish those who use counterfeit banknotes!" ”

The green camp general said: "Those who use counterfeit banknotes will be imprisoned for half a year if they use less than 20 taels and 20 canes!" Those who use 20 taels to 50 taels of counterfeit banknotes will have a hundred rods and be issued with Ningguta as a slave! Use counterfeit banknotes for more than fifty taels, behead and raid your home! All the family members were sent to Ningguta as slaves! ”

"Spare your life! The grass people really don't know it's a counterfeit banknote! Min Shancai kowtowed desperately, knocking his forehead bloody.

The leader of the Eight Banners sneered again and again: "Min Shancai, this is not the first time you have used counterfeit banknotes!" You had a lot of mountain goods before, and you didn't sell them to the Eight Banners Trading House, but to the smugglers sent by the Puppet Ming Haikou! They give you counterfeit money too! Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? Someone! Push it down, cut it! ”
