。 "How did you sign the contract?" The outsiders poured their anger on Yang Yuanwai and Wang Yuanwai, and they all angrily accused: "Seeing that people are trapped!" ”

The two of them were full of grievances and said: "The day before yesterday, I took the paperwork back, didn't you all read it, which one saw the problem?" ”

The crowd was speechless. The thickness of the deed is unimaginable, and it is only seen in most people's lives. They read them one by one with patience, and they inevitably felt dizzy, and they didn't seem to understand many of the provisions. It's like this cheat daddy, in fact, everyone has seen it, but no one feels that there is a problem, until someone detonates the bomb, it suddenly dawns on me, it turns out that this is a trap!

"If you want to fight a lawsuit, I'm afraid it's hard to win, right?" After being silent for a long time, Yu said in a whisper.

"Well...... Li Yuanwai nodded and said in a muffled voice: "How can you really fight a lawsuit?" This kind of thing is a big deal, and it won't do anyone any good. ”

"You can't let them pay the bills!" It was difficult for everyone to accept it.

"Can't afford it! Isn't the surname Wei just trying to drag this matter out? Don't! Li Yuanwai said hatefully: "If you don't give him a little Yan Sè, he doesn't know whose world Fuyang County is!" Saying that, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is not in a hurry, let's let it go for a while and then talk about it." At the moment, the top priority is to sell grain, and he is unkind to me, so we don't need to pay attention to the ban. Regardless of whether it is money, farms, workshops, etc. are open to purchase! He slammed a few cases and said: "There is not a single grain of grain left for these 50,000 stones, you can buy whatever you can buy, and you can buy as much as you can, this is our capital to fight against the surname Wei!" ”

"Good!" "Yes!" "Understood!" The crowd responded in an uproar. nǎinǎi bears, they have always been the only ones who play with county officials, and those surnamed Wei dare to oppose the guests and treat them as monkeys! The anger is burning and turning into infinite power, they are going to fight with the surname Wei!

The outsiders walked out of the Li family hall again, but the son of Wang Yuanwai stumbled in again, and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good......

"Shut up!" The outsiders roared together: "We already know the way! ”

"Uh......" Wang Yuanwai's son was stunned for a moment, and said, "As soon as the yamen was posted, you knew the way?" ”

"Is it the notice of the Silkworm Moon's suspension of work?" Li Yu Li Xiucai said: "I have already told your uncles. ”

"Not that." Wang Yuanwai shook his head and said, "Later, another ...... was posted."

"What?" Everyone was stunned, "Another one?!" ”

"Yes." Wang Yuanwai nodded and said: "The government said that they established the 'Fuyang County Grain Store', and the first batch of 40,000 stone rice purchased from Huguang arrived in Fuyang after two years, and it will be open to the people at a low price. He swallowed hard and spat at the mouth: "And after that, there will be a normal supply of 20,000 stone of low-cost rice every month......"

The former notice can also make the outsiders thunderous, and the latter one directly makes them stunned. After a long time, Wang Yuanwai hissed: "Low price...... How low is it? ”

"A tael of silver and a stone." His son said with tears in his voice.

"Ah......" The outsiders finally couldn't bear it anymore, and three fainted on the spot, and several of them were unsteady on their feet, and they fell to the ground. Although the rest of the people were standing, they were all described as shocked, mournful, and some even cried. But this time Li Yuanwai didn't say anything, because he was one of the three people who fainted......

The first notice of the government before, although the outsiders gritted their teeth and hated it, there was no loss to them, because after all, there were 2,000 acres of land in hand, even if 17,000 stone of grain was taken, it would not be considered compensation. What's more, there must always be an explanation for the 8,000 acres of planned land, and at worst, they will return one and lose one according to the contract, and they will still earn it.

Therefore, it is more of an anger that arises from being fooled and humiliated, but this second notice kills them!

This dynasty implemented the imperial examination system and gave privileges to those who had meritorious fame, so the gentry of this dynasty were mostly linked to the imperial examination. Whoever can pass the examination will quickly prosper the family, and whoever becomes a high-ranking official will immediately become a giant family. However, if the descendants have no income and no fame, the family will lose its privileges. Therefore, these squires are completely different from the gate lord clan in the Han and Tang dynasties, their privileges are closely related to the clansmen's fame and official positions, if they can't seize the period of privilege to complete the accumulation, the family will inevitably escape the fate of rapid decline.

The big families all know that the year of the catastrophe is also the year of the outbreak. As long as you have a large amount of food, you can have thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of houses at a very small price. This is how the legendary rich Shen Wansan made his fortune. Although the big families in Fuyang look down on Shen Wansan, they have always taken him as an example in their hearts, but the wind and rain in eastern Zhejiang for more than ten years have been smooth, although it is the blessing of the country and the people, but it makes the big families cry out in vain...... If you don't suffer any more disasters, the daylilies will be cold. Therefore, the reaction of the big households to the Zhejiang disaster can be imagined.

I don't know what to do elsewhere, anyway, the big families in Fuyang took out all the money and sold all the property...... Because they expected the prices of various assets to plummet in the disaster year, they were very bold to sell their family property first and exchange it for money to buy grain, so that when the price of grain was high, they could buy back ten times the original industry at the price of cabbage! Get rich overnight!

They also asked for a loan from the money bank, and even took away their wife's dowry, and finally scraped together 200,000 taels of silver to realize their great plan to divide Fuyang!

It's not enough to have money, you have to have food. This era is not a later generation, people do not have the Internet, there is no television and newspapers, and the current dynasty severely restricted the movement of the people, so their scope of activities was limited to the county and the government, and the world they knew was also the province. Insight limits thinking, and when they want to buy food, their eyes are limited to their own province, and at most there is Susong area.

I have to accept that the energy of the big families in Fuyang is still quite large, and they do have the capital to be proud. The government could not buy a grain of grain in the province, but they were able to get through many relationships, bypass layers of obstacles, and buy 75,000 stone of grain. Of course, the cost is high enough, with an average of two or six stones!

Counting all kinds of losses, at least three taels and one stone must be sold to protect the capital.

But the price of grain given by the government turned out to be one or two stones!

It is no exaggeration to say that half of the people in this courtyard have to go bankrupt, and the remaining half have to return to the level of the last years of the Yuan Dynasty.......

The big families were in pain, but the people of Fuyang felt that happiness came too suddenly. When the scribe of the house read this notice aloud to them, all of them could not believe their ears!

Because even in an ordinary year, the price of grain in Fuyang has never dropped a stone or two. Now that the whole province has suffered a disaster, and there is a shortage of chūn, even in the provincial capital of Hangzhou, the price of grain has soared to three taels and one stone, and residents of Qiantang Ren and the two counties can only buy it in rations. If your household registration is not in these two counties, you can't buy it with any amount of money!

Outside of Hangzhou, the grain prices in all prefectures and counties are above three or five taels, and in grain-deficient counties like Fuyang, the grain prices have risen to seven or eight taels, and they cannot be bought at all.

Now that the county has suddenly announced that it will sell grain for one or two stones, and the supply is open, the first reaction of the people is not joy, but suspicion. How is this possible? Not really!

But this notice has been posted in every square in every room, and now it is known to the whole county, and the county magistrate dares to make such a big joke?

Soon, thousands of people gathered at the entrance of the county ya, blocking the entire yaqian street in black, and people wanted to find out the truth of this news.

At the same time, in the county office, in the second hall, officials gathered.

The officials also read the notice before they found out, and they asked Wei Zhixian for confirmation.

"How, how is that possible?" Diao stammered.

"No, it can't be true, right?" The prince and the prince also stammered. The reason is very simple, Master Diao and the squires wear a pair of pants, Wang Ziyao himself is a squire, and this time to divide Fuyang, the two of them also made a bloody investment.

Jiang Xiancheng and Ma Dianshi didn't have much money, and they didn't have a close connection with the squires, so naturally they didn't have the opportunity to 'make a windfall'. Although he was shocked, he didn't stammer: "My lord, this kind of thing is no joke!" ”

"Of course it's true!" Wei Zhixian swept away the haze that came to him, his eyes lit up, and Ryoma said: "This county has been planning this matter since last year, but I didn't expect to catch up with this year's catastrophe, ha ”

Wei Zhixian is a disciple of a saint, and he pays attention to not being happy with things, not being sad with himself, and his joy and anger are not in the form of sè. They've never seen it before, and he's smiling like this...... To say that it sounds good is called pleasure, to be honest, it is the flowers and branches trembling.

All the officials were stunned, and Diao Zhushu fainted directly, although Wang Si was able to hold on, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale. The person on the side quickly moved a chair for him to sit down......

"What's the matter, two?" Wei Zhixian stared at the two of them and said with a smile.

"Maybe I've been too busy lately and tired." The warden's room clerk hurriedly explained to his boss. But it caused a lot of laughter, and all the rooms have been busy recently, but no matter how busy they are, they can't be busy in the officials' rooms.

"Then pay attention to rest." Wei Zhixian said lightly: "Quickly help the master of Diao and the secretary of the king down, and the two of them will have a holiday to rest." ”

"This ......" Diao Master was dizzy and didn't know what to say, but Wang Si was startled, isn't this the rhythm of being suspended? Hurriedly struggled to get up and said: "Disaster relief is important, and my subordinates can hold on to ......"

"Not necessarily!" Wei Zhixian suddenly lowered his face and snorted coldly: "What are you still doing in a daze!" ”

The soap in the hall hurriedly carried the Diao master book down, and there were two people on one side, and they insisted on setting up the Wang priest who was not leaving, and set up the second hall.

Seeing that Wei Zhixian had settled the accounts after the autumn, all the officials were awe-inspiring, and the needles in the hall could be heard.

At this time, the soap who was guarding the door in front came in and reported that thousands of people had gathered in front of the yamen to verify the price of grain.

Wei Zhixian listened, and said to Wang Xian under the stairs: "You go out to explain to the people." ”

"The lowly people speak lightly, and the people may not be convinced." Wang Xian scolded in his heart, it's really hypocritical, if I steal the limelight, you won't die of depression? Hurriedly proposed: "It's better for the eldest master to go and explain to the people in person." ”。
