Chapter 369: Momentum
The general warehouse of the Huizhou Rice Industry Guild in Yuliang Town was almost always full of hoarding grain. But from the dynamic point of view, when the price of rice is high, there will be an endless stream of grain ships going to Hangzhou, and even from Hangzhou to Suzhou, and when the price of rice is low, a large number of grain ships will come from the opposite direction, filling the place. It is said that those who were originally just small fights have made high profits in and out, and in recent days, there is another rumor that is also very marketable.
She County Ling Ye Jun Yao Ye County Zun is also engaged in such a one-in-one-out trick through Shexian County's reserve warehouse, which has benefited a lot. The originally empty Shexian Reserve Warehouse has been hoarding more than 7,000 stone of grain nearly two years after this county dignitary took office, although this is far from the standard of the early Ming Dynasty, but now it is a very remarkable achievement. In the final analysis, the reason is that local officials and grain merchants colluded to resell grain, and second, there was not enough grain in the warehouses.
Because of this, according to all kinds of rumors with noses and eyes, Ye County of Shexian County respected himself as rich, and he was in charge of a sum of money that was larger than that of ordinary county officials. One passed on ten to hundred, the first few hundred taels became thousands of taels, and thousands of taels became tens of thousands of taels, and even more said that there were tens of thousands of taels of gold buried in the Yamen of Shexian County, all of which were copied by the homes of Hui merchants in Ye County. Most of these outrageous rumors are the legends of many Hui merchants who have returned from outside, but most of the locals scoff at them.
Although he was angry before, he pulled Ye Mingyue and Xu Wei together and withdrew from the Yixiang Society, but Xiaobei scoffed at Wang Fulin's name of the gossip club. After a few old peacemakers made peace. She still occasionally goes to sit with Ye Mingyue. She never cared about those strange looks. Therefore, the so-called name of the Ye family's concubine did not cause her any trouble. But at this moment, after she and Ye Mingyue got into the car from a mansion in Fucheng, they were angry and annoyed, and finally couldn't help but bang the wall of the car with their fists.
"It's too exaggerated, how can they say that Daddy, those messy rumors are clearly rumors with ulterior motives! There are tens of thousands of taels of gold, and in order to supplement my father's official status, my grandmother took out two hundred taels of gold! ”
Seeing Xiaobei so angry. Ye Mingyue didn't speak, but she couldn't help but wonder where this strange rumor came from. At the beginning of his tenure as the new prefect of Huizhou, Yao Huizu, like Duan Chaozong, adopted the policy of ruling by inaction, and did not interfere too much in the affairs of the subordinates, and his father was also quite respectful to that Yao Fuzun, so it should not be that the government deliberately smeared his father. As for those eunuchs, since Wang Shangning's death, most of them have been honest, and they have been safe for more than a year. As for the subordinate officials of the county government. Basically, it's all cleaned up by my father, then. What kind of enemy will it be that you can't get along with your father?
She was thinking about it, when she suddenly felt Xiaobei's low muttering next to her ear: "It can't be Wang Fulin's troublemaker, right?" It's been a month since he came back, and he followed Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang to study, but he fished for three days and dried his nets for two days, but he had kung fu and a few people in the three classes and six rooms, and every time he came to see his father, he also discussed it behind closed doors, and there was nothing big about it recently, so he needed to do this, do you want me to eavesdrop and see? ”
Ye Mingyue reacted coldly. Why do you think about your father's possible enemies? I didn't expect that this thing might have been designed by Wang Fulin for his father!
She couldn't help pinching Xiaobei's nose affectionately, and then said radiantly: "You clever ghost, maybe you will be hit by you!" ”
Xiao Bei's eyes widened suddenly. Hit by her? What do Dad and Wang Fulin have to think about before they release such damn rumors?
When the carriage stopped at the gate of the official house, Xiaobei was not busy entering, and directly instructed the coachman: "Go to the other door and ask, is Wang Fulin at home?" If my sister and I have something to see him. ”
If you are not at home, there is a chance that you will be in the county office!
However, this time Xiaobei guessed wrong, Wang Fulin was not at home, but he was not at the county government either. Even if she had the heart to ask the teacher, no one could find it, so she could only pull Ye Mingyue to talk to Mrs. Su. Don't talk about her, even Ye Mingyue has never had the upper hand in front of her mother, she came and went, they didn't ask any clues, and today when she went to Yixiang Club, she was asked about the so-called tens of thousands of taels of gold, and she was also asked by Mrs. Su.
Seeing Mrs. Su's brows tightened, Ye Mingyue couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Mother, will this rumor be too much?" ”
"There is a way that three people become tigers, and everyone is gold, even if there is no false rumor today, the old man claimed to save the county party public expenses, so as to reduce the summer tax silk silk two thousand taels, on this point, there have been rumors outside. Rather than waiting for the unexpected to let such a thing break out, it is better to control the outbreak time of this matter yourself. What's more, Fu Lin and the old man seem to have other plans. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Su saw that Xiaobei was puffing up, and Ye Mingyue looked thoughtful, so she smiled and said, "So, when you ask me, I really don't know anything." But there is one thing, you don't go out much lately. ”
Ye Mingyue was suddenly shocked: "Mother, could it be that some extremely vicious bandits were attracted to Huizhou by this kind of news?" ”
"Maybe." Mrs. Su raised her eyebrows and said expressionlessly, "In short, except for the Wang family opposite, don't go to any other place first, and I will also let someone send a letter to the Xu family on Doosan Street." ”
For the rumors that are suddenly boiling now, if you want to say that the most nervous, it must be the criminal chamber Wu Si Officer. Based on the roster he had compiled from the sea fishing documents he had sorted out, he planned to change the rumors according to some bandits in a targeted manner based on the messy rumors before, but this work had just begun, and the rumors had invaded Huizhou Mansion from outside in the opposite direction, what was the situation? It's only been a month since Wang Fulin came back, and this spark has become a prairie fire! He even suspected that if he messed things up in the future, he would lose his position as a priest who fell from the sky!
At this moment, sitting opposite Wang Fulin, he was really like sitting on pins and needles, seeing Liu Hui and Zhao Wuye in a match, talking about the accommodation situation of twice as many people in those inns as in the past. He finally whispered, "Or." Let the county refut the rumors? ”
"To this point. It's useless to refute rumors. Wang Fulin didn't expect that he would take the opportunity of the rumors to add fuel and vinegar to these news by 10,000 times, and there have been too many three religions and nine streams in the capital city of Huizhou and the county seat of She County in recent days! He stared at Wu Siyan for a moment, and finally asked in a low voice, "Among those people whose identities are suspicious, how many can touch the history?" ”
"What they say is all black words, I have already arrested the head of Zhao Bantou and sent out the torture room and the fast class to those who know this. There are less than five people who can guess the calendar today. When he said this, Wu Siyi's weak heart was not to mention. He glanced at Liu Hui with a distress gaze, and then quickly took out a message as a remedy, "But among them, there is a clerk in the torture room who heard from the words that the Taihu giant thief Ge Boss is probably also here." This guy is said to be a remnant of the Japanese Bandits, the government has been arrested for many years but has not been found, there are hundreds of people under his hands, in this Chengping period, it can be regarded as a huge gangster. Because I can't stay in the southeast. This guy is going to go to sea for the South Seas with a vote. ”
Wang Fulin's eyelids jumped when he listened, and his heart was very entangled. He had planned to lay out the plan step by step. The next thing is to transfer Xie Rong from Hangzhou, and even plan to let Gu Zijing find an excuse to come over, plus twenty or thirty dart masters, forty junior dart masters trained by the veterans of the Qi family, but now it seems that everything is developing faster than his own idea, obviously the previous rumors are aimed at Ye Cannon, and someone dug a pit for him to jump!
Don't even think about it when you expect that new security guard, when the Japanese invaders all hit the city of Huizhou, this group of guards who had not been trained at all were almost collapsed at the first touch, not to mention the Taiping Festival when the Japanese were gone. Now that such a big scene has been provoked, I have to go on it if I don't have the conditions, and I just hope to be able to take down a group of bandits with enough weight in the fastest time, so as to make an example of chickens and monkeys!
"Fifth Brother Zhao, you are responsible for contacting the head of the fast shift Hu to maintain law and order on the streets, so you show that you are very vigilant about this situation, and don't let people see the flaws."
After instructing Zhao Wuye, Wang Fulin said to Wu Si Shan again: "Wu Si Yi, you too, carefully analyze all the sea fishing documents and old files in the torture room, and you can distinguish the identities of the more people, the better." ”
When Zhao Wuye and Wu Si were all sent away, only himself and him were left in the small room of Liu Hui's house, and Liu Hongshi was watching outside, Wang Fulin lowered his voice and said: "You check all the account books of the household as soon as possible, and there is also a reserve warehouse." What I want is to be foolproof, not to make any mistakes, and to keep all the accounts flat, including the past, you know? ”
Liu Hui was suddenly shocked. He hurriedly sat up straight, nodded heavily, and said, "Rest assured, the accounts of the reserve warehouse are already clear, and it won't take a few days to complete." ”
In the next few days, although the streets of Fucheng and the county town gradually quieted down, the shops that were mainly engaged in the Xiejia Inn and Hostel all found that there were always many people in their rooms who seemed to be dressed as merchants, but there was a kind of person who could not say anything disobedient. Although Ye Dacang has always trusted Wang Fulin, this time the idea was his own, but seeing that the situation was extraordinary, he had to invite someone over after the morning hall this day, and repeatedly determined whether there would be a problem.
When it came to the end, Wang Fulin wanted to say that he was not sure, but he couldn't show his cowardice in front of Ye Cannon. But at this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the study, followed by Wu Si Yan personally rushing in.
"County Zun, a small official, it is said that a team of more than ten Jinyi guards entered the small north gate, and it is said that they came straight to this county office!"
Last time, Xiaobei treated Qi Jiajun as a Jinyi guard, could it be that this time he really provoked these evil stars?
Wang Fulin saw that Ye Junyao's face was like ashes all of a sudden, so he turned his heart sideways and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic first, the current Jinyi Wei is not Qian Ning during the Zhengde period, nor is it Lu Bing during the Jiajing period, it can be said that after the emperor ascended the throne, he rarely heard of the Jinyi Guard being transferred to arrest people. In the lobby, I couldn't go up, so I could only watch from behind, and the county wanted to find a way to bring people to the study to talk. ”
Ye Junyao thought that it was useless to complain about the sky at this time, so he simply made up his mind: "Okay, Secretary Wu, you go out and prepare, if they really come to the county government, this county will be this famous brocade cloth!" ”
