Li Keshou pointed to the place where Liu Ruozai was stationed now, and said, "Just that household, didn't you slaughter the whole family for the thieves last year?" Do you know how much food the intruders have scooped up from his house? ”

"How much?" Dong Ce asked.

"A whole fourteen hundred stones! More than 100,000 catties! Li Keshou sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's all cheap thieves." ”

Dong Ce was also taken aback by this number, these grains are enough to support thousands of people to eat for more than a month, but it is definitely not a small amount.

"So you see." Li Keshou stretched out his arm, pointed around, and said, "These big families don't know how much food is hidden. ”

Dong Ce nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Although there is a lot of food, it is not ours!" These people can't be touched easily. ”

Li Keshou nodded.

These big families are really not moving, Dong Ce can coerce the Yang family because the Yang family has gone too far, and Dong Ce doesn't want to endure this breath. But the Yang family is just the Yang family, just a family, if you want to go to each family to collect grain and let them take out the food they have secretly hidden, it will offend everyone. Dong Ce dared to offend the Yang family because he had already thought of countermeasures and how to deal with the Yang family. But if he offends these big families, then he will also be anxious.

After all, the Yang family is just a family, with a hundred or dozens of people, so Dong Ce can monitor them and easily solve them. No matter how powerful they are, that's how they are. It is possible that the combined power of the other big families is not comparable to the Yang family, but there are many of them, and their distribution is scattered, Dong Ce can keep an eye on this family and not that family, these people can easily stab the matter to Liu Ruozai.

And once Liu Ruozai knew this, Dong Ce couldn't even argue for himself.

Because these grains belong to these big families, they are not obliged to give them, and they go to the door to ask for them, to put it bluntly, it is a robbery, and it is a thief's act! Liu Ruozai reads the books of sages and sages, and is a square person, and this kind of behavior is the most disdainful. Dong Ce doesn't allow him to be dissatisfied with himself, and he has to count on him for his own future!

Therefore, these people can't move.

If you want to move, you have to have a name, at least you have to get by on face.

Li Keshou said again: "The second is the grain store, we can't get the grain from those big families, but the grain in the grain store can still be bought after all, but, damn it!" ”

Li Keshou paused and scolded fiercely: "These bitches know that the siege of the city by the army at this time is the most critical moment, and they even raise prices and hoard!" ”

"How many taels of silver a stone?" Dong Ce asked.

"Eight taels!" Li Keshou gestured: "I just asked someone to ask, those grain stores are all eight taels, and they should have been discussed before." ”

"Eight taels? That's too high! Dong Ce frowned, took the Cossack cavalry knife hanging from his waist with his right hand, knocked it lightly on the ground twice, and said lightly: "These profiteers are really not like words!" ”

The rock fort was built by him little by little, in order to buy grain, he was also very concerned about the price of goods for a period of time, in his impression, last year's most expensive time, the price of grain was four taels of silver and one stone. In fact, this price is already extremely high, normally speaking, one tael of silver to buy a stone of grain, this price should be about the same. In some peaceful and prosperous times, the price of grain is even lower and scary, such as during the Zhenguan period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of rice is only five yuan, and on the ground in Qingzhou, a bucket of rice is only three yuan. In this way, one stone of rice is only a few dozen dollars.

The current grain price in the Chongzhen period is naturally extremely abnormal.

Four taels of silver and one stone is already a sky-high price, and now, the grain merchants here have even raised the price of grain to eight taels of silver and one stone.

It's crazy.

Dong Ce pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "It's done, let's take them!" ”

"them?" Li Keshou looked at Dong Ce and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?" ”

"No problem." Dong Ce said in a deep voice, he already had a full grasp in his heart.

In the Ming Dynasty, according to the laws of the imperial court, this kind of behavior was also subject to the government's crackdown, and the question was whether anyone cared about it. And Liu Ruozai also hates this kind of behavior. He has a target and a good reason to suppress these grain merchants, and after Liu Ruozai knows about his behavior, he will only praise it, and he will definitely not blame it.

In fact, Dong Ce also knew why Li Keshou came to him, Li Keshou is now the acting magistrate, he wants to crack down on grain merchants, and he can do it, and with Li Keshou's temper, he will definitely not back down on such a thing. But he is not the highest official here, Liu Ruozai is. So it is inevitable that Li Keshou will take care of Liu Ruozai's feelings. He came here to be a bit of a showman. After all, when it comes to understanding Liu Ruozai, he is definitely not as good as Dong Ce.

He and Dong Ce both understood and understood what the other party meant, and since Dong Ce said that there was no problem now, then he would be at ease.

"By the way, have you reported this matter to Lord Liu?" Dong Ce suddenly asked.

"No, how dare I!" Li Ke smiled bitterly and said: "These things don't end well, doesn't it seem that I am too incompetent?" ”

"It's right that I didn't report it." Dong Ce smiled: "This matter, the two of us will do it, and there is no need to trouble Lord Liu." ”

Dong Ce actually had the same idea as Li Keshou, for fear that after the report was reported, he would seem to be ineffective. Now is the time for Liu Ruozai to vigorously promote himself, and he can't leave such an impression on the boss.

"Brother Dong, don't come forward for this matter, I'll do it!" Li Keshou said with a smile: "It's worth your hands if it's a big family like the Yang family." Now that we're here, it's the other two that control the grain store, and I can still afford to mess with it. ”

Dong Ce knew that he said this because he was afraid that he would offend too many people, but he didn't argue, just smiled and nodded: "Cheng." ”

"But there's one more thing I need your help to do." Li Keshou said: "Those servants under me are all native to my hometown, and I am not afraid of offending people, but they are afraid." Those who are timid are afraid that it will not be easy to do things when the time comes. ”

Dong Ce understood what he meant, and said, "How many people do you want?" ”

"Ten is enough!"

"I'll give you a few more, so it's so strong." Dong Ce instructed Bai Zhongqi to tell him to inform Yelu Lili and the people who brought his capital to come here.

There has been no battle in the past few days, and there is no way to teach people, and Yelu Lihe has long been itching all over his body, and he can't wait to fight with others. As soon as he received Bai Zhongqi's notice, he almost jumped up with excitement. Dong Ce asked him to go, which shows that he must be cleaning up people again.

"Hehe, Lao Tzu's fist has been itching for a long time!"

Yelu Lihe let out an excited roar, laughed wildly, led people down the city wall, and galloped all the way to the horse.

Dong Ce instructed him a few words, and let him go with Li Keshou.

Everyone rode horses and hugged Li Keshou in the direction of the grain store, and as they walked, Li Keshou told Yelu Li and the things that needed to be paid attention to in this operation. After all, he was not his subordinate, Li Keshou spoke to him in a consultative tone, and Yelu Lihe grinned: "Hey, my lord, you are good friends with our master, and you don't have to be polite with me, if there is anything, just order it directly, and we will definitely do it." ”

What he said was refreshing, and Li Keshou was not hypocritical, so he gave instructions on what he was going to do later, and Yelu Lihe nodded again and again, with a fierce smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, I am the best at this matter!" As he spoke, he came to the front of a grain store. This grain store is located not far from the county office, occupies a large storefront, look at the size of only three or four storefronts in the width, the location is also excellent, it is very conspicuous, stand on this street and look, you can see the hanging tall signboard: Mao Ji grain shop.
