Xing Long's old face muscles twitched, his body staggered, and he almost wanted to fall, if it wasn't for someone next to him who saw that it didn't look right, and held it up, he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground.

The Xing clan has a lot of prestige in Xiguan, and before the Xiliang people invaded the east, they could only look up to the seven surnames of Xiguan.

However, after the Xiliang people broke through, the Xing family evacuated very quickly and took away a large number of assets, but the seven families of Xiguan had a great cause, and it was difficult to evacuate for a while, and they suffered heavy losses.

Six or seven out of ten large households in Xiguan have suffered heavy losses, but the Xing family has not suffered much damage, and after the war, they returned to their hometown, recovered their own fields, and found grain seeds, and this year's harvest is not bad.

The seven surnames of Xiguan have suffered heavy losses, and the vitality of the Xing family has not been damaged, and the Xing family has become a big family that can be faintly compared with the seven surnames of Xiguan, and even among the seven surnames of Xiguan, there is already a family that is not as powerful as the Xing family, because of this, the Xing family is ambitious and wants to rebuild the clan order in Xiguan after the war.

The opening of the trading ground gave the Xing clan hope, and the entire Xing clan was actually already making preparations, and after the completion of the trading ground, they would immediately go to the customs outside.

Originally, hundreds of people came to intercept Chu Huan this time, and the Xing clan also felt that grabbing the first bird did not seem to be of much benefit to the clan, but Xing Long hoped to use this opportunity to enhance the prestige of the Xing clan, if he led everyone to succeed in persecuting Chu Huan this time, then the Xing clan must have a great reputation among the gentry in Xiguan Dao, for a family with ambition to become a Xiguan clan, this is of course a great good thing, although it has to take a certain risk, but after weighing it again, Xing Long still stood up.

But he never expected that the final result would be such a result.

He really didn't expect that Chu Huan would take advantage of this opportunity to turn around and block the Xing clan's power to trade outside the customs, which was undoubtedly a great disaster for the situation clan.

Xing Long only felt that his mind was blank, his lips flashed, but he couldn't speak.

At this moment, not only Xing Long, but also those gentry who signed on the complaint were all shocked and disgraced, but those who did not sign, although they tried their best to hide it, they still couldn't hide their gloating.

More people are happy in their hearts, secretly thinking that it is really dangerous, if for the sake of food, they lose the opportunity to trade through the customs, it will really outweigh the losses.

Many people secretly thought that fortunately Chu Huan said it in time, if it was a moment later, I was afraid that many people would come forward to sign, but some shrewd people faintly felt in their hearts that Chu Huan suddenly showed his hole cards at this time, which was to calculate the time, although it was necessary to let a group of gentry sign the complaint to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, but they couldn't watch everyone sign, there were more people signing, and it was no good for Chu Huan, at this time, there were only twenty or thirty signatures, just right, and it was enough to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys.

"By the way, I almost forgot, since everyone is here, there is something that the Governor still has to explain to you." Chu Huan held the reins of the horse and leaned forward slightly, "Everyone has said before that your grain not only has to repay debts, but also to support your family, which the governor can understand." When the Governor returns to Shuoquan, he will issue an order that all debts to be repaid shall be repaid with new salt instead of grain, and that all shall be repaid at the market price, and if the other party accepts, you may hand over the grain to the Household Division, and the Household Division shall pay the same price of new salt for your repayment. Of course, the governor will also issue another order, in the territory of Xiguan, not only prohibits the outflow of grain, but also strictly prohibits anyone from trading grain in the name of a private person, all grain transactions in Xiguan can only be controlled by the government, anyone who conducts grain trade privately, the light will be confiscated all the grain plus a fine, and the heavy one will ......! He waved his hand and said, "Don't say it." If you raise the price of grain in Xiguan and want to take advantage of the difficult time in Xiguan to make a fortune, the governor will first explain here that if there is one, kill one, and will not tolerate it. If not, the governor advises you to dispel this idea, and the governor can tolerate you not to cooperate with the government and not lend food to the government, but the governor will never allow anyone to make trouble in Xiguan! ”

At this moment, Xing Long and the others who signed were even more ashen, and some people even showed anger in their eyes.

The purpose of these people's signatures is to save their own grain, and the purpose of storing grain, in the final analysis, is to be able to make greater profits.

Xiguan is short of grain, as we all know, the grain is lent to the government, a year later, the interest is negligible, the gentry do not put it in their eyes at all, in their hands, the grain is in their hands, borrowed for a year, Xiguan is still in a serious shortage of grain, when the price of grain is bound to be amazing, and at the critical moment, secretly sell the grain in hand, and the profit will be ten times more than a hundred times the interest given by the government.

However, Chu Huan had already made his words extremely clear at this moment, and clearly told everyone that Xiguan would prohibit the private sale of grain, and it was forbidden to raise the price of grain.

It can be seen that Chu Huan is not scaring everyone, but is ready to crack down on private grain transactions and raise food prices.

These signatories were blocked from the power of customs trade, which was like five thunderbolts, and at this time, Chu Huan released another big killing move, and this group of people suddenly scattered.

Grain cannot be sold at a high price, and if you keep the grain in your hands, you will not be able to make a profit in the plan, although it is not a big deal to put the grain in the warehouse, but it cannot be sold at a high price, but it has lost the right to trade through the customs, which is undoubtedly stealing chickens and rice.

Chu Huan's face was expressionless, straightened up, and said: "This governor knows that after these orders are issued, there will be people who hate this governor, and even think about killing him and then ...... It doesn't matter, since the first day he stepped into Xiguan, Bendu has not thought of leaving alive. To tell you the truth, there are many people who want to kill the Governor, but until now, the Governor is still alive, but those who want to take the life of the Governor, as long as the Governor lives, will not let him live happily. After a pause, his expression was grim, "Ben Du is not a good official, but ask yourself, what you want to do, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of you, Ben Du will not be afraid." The governor of Xiguan, not only to consider the interests of the common people, but also to take into account your interests, maybe because of some decrees, you will suffer some small losses, but small losses ushered in big interests, this, the governor is dare to pat the chest to guarantee. If you are willing to cooperate with the orders issued by the Governor, the Governor believes that you will enjoy the benefits sooner or later, but if you refuse to cooperate with the government, the Governor will not care, but you don't care about the government, and don't blame the government for not caring about you...... If anyone is dissatisfied with the Governor and wants to deal with the Governor, you might as well let it go and give it a try, and the Governor is waiting for you at any time! ”

After Chu Huan's words, everyone was already gasping.

Chu Huan didn't show off his official tone, but like a charlatan, some words that should have been put under the table were not taboo to say in public, but saying it like this was even more deterrent.

As soon as he came into contact with Chu Huan's gaze at this moment, some people felt chills all over their bodies.

There was silence for a while, Chu Huan's expression softened, and he said with a smile: "What should be said, this governor has already made it clear, who else wants to sign, hurry up!" ”

At this time, how could anyone dare to step forward to sign, but Xing Long stepped forward tremblingly, with a pleading look: "The Governor is eloquent and strategic, with a long-term vision, and the little mouse is full of eyes and shame. Lord Governor, the little old man is willing to lend eighty percent of the harvest to the government, and if the interest is up, the little old man will not take a penny......! ”

"The Governor has no time to deal with this matter." Without waiting for Xing Long to finish speaking, Chu Huan had already said lightly: "You brought someone to sue the head of the household department, and you signed the complaint, if the lawsuit is withdrawn, it will be like if you slander the court officials, what kind of crime, there will be a criminal department to deal with it." The Governor has said that if you are not willing to borrow food, the Governor will not be embarrassed, and since he has signed it, the Governor will not ask you for a grain again. He raised his head and said loudly: "Everyone, winter is going to spring, the time for spring plowing is getting closer and closer, and time can not allow us to delay, if you want to borrow grain to the government, the governor hopes that you will pay the grain to the official warehouse as soon as possible, and when the time is over, if you want to borrow grain, the government will not accept it." ”

The gentry who did not sign were overjoyed, thinking that they had escaped, and their hearts were full of joy, and someone had already shouted: "Your Excellency, the villain will go back to the warehouse now, hand over the grain bill to the local government, and then send the grain to the official warehouse, and will never delay the spring plowing and planting." ”

For a while, everyone said that after going back, they would seize the time to do a good job of counting the grain, and they all promised to send the grain to the official warehouse in the shortest possible time.

Those who signed had different expressions, some dazed, some painful, some incomprehensible, some with empty eyes, and some with deep resentment.

Chu Huan motioned to Qi Hong to send the complaint over, glanced at it, folded it carefully, put it in his arms, said no more, waved his hand, Qi Hong had already led people to open the road in front, everyone dodged away, flashed out of the road, Chu Huan didn't say a word, rode on the horse, didn't squint, led the team through the crowd, and didn't look back, soon, the horse galloped, and the team turned into a small dot in the snow, until it disappeared after the most slight.

The gentry who didn't sign didn't delay, and didn't pay attention to Xing Long and the others, they were in groups, talking and laughing, and went back separately, while Xing Long and the others stood in the local area, silent.

After a long time, someone cautiously asked Xing Long, "What should we do now?" The grain will definitely not be sold, our names are all on it, even if Chu Huan doesn't stare at others, he will definitely stare at us. ”

"What else can I do?" Someone said angrily: "Lao Tzu never thought of objecting, it was you who made noise day and night, but now it's good, you can't even trade out of the customs." ”

After arguing with each other for a while, Xing Long stiffened his body, stared blankly at the direction where Chu Huan was going, and didn't pay attention to everyone's disputes, just muttered in a low voice: "I can only go to Xiguan Seven, and I can't say anything without the customs clearance documents for customs trade!" ”
