Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 119

The person chosen by the shopkeeper is quite good, and he can even be called a showman.

The shopkeeper told his nephew about the request, and his nephew left in a hurry.

The incident this time was very bad, and it was related to the emperor's own son, which was highly valued by the county magistrate.

To be honest, the county magistrate was also very distressed. He heard the rumor, and he heard it when he heard it.

But who would have imagined that the prince would actually request a thorough investigation, and he was also in a panic.

The county magistrate was promoted to the court to settle the case, and the prince sat in the lower position and listened. The common people were worried that this matter would set fire to themselves, so there were not many people who attended the hearing. people.

Among them, the shopkeeper's nephew was also among them, looking inside, he was the most active!

Needless to say, during the trial process, the two people shouted for injustice throughout the whole process. Every time they shouted, the fifth prince's expression became ugly, and at the end, he was even more livid.

The county magistrate's gavel was about to take afterimages, and the two peddlers who were frightened to the point of madness did not calm down.
However, at this time, a small but clear voice came in from outside.

"What, they actually arrange my master like that?"

The fifth prince looked over subconsciously, and what he saw was a figure running out in a panic.

The fifth prince subconsciously sensed that something was wrong, and raised his eyes to look at the person serving him. The person understood and hurriedly chased after him, but when he squeezed out of the crowd, the person had already disappeared!

The crowd who had been pulled away shrank a little. The man looked down on these rumor-mongers, but he still asked a question patiently.

"Who was that person who spoke just now?"

Those who have a big heart will reply.

"That's a rich fellow."

Gold and Jade Mantang, the most popular shop nowadays, the cloth, spices, rouge powder, skin care products and other things sold in it are the best!

The man knew that this mansion of gold and jade belonged to Jin Meiyu, so his heart suddenly jumped, and he turned his head quickly, only to see that the fifth prince's face was even more livid!
This little guy is smart and knows that some people have martial arts, just like the thugs sitting in their shop, he is an ordinary person, and he can't beat the opponent at all.

Therefore, after saying that, the little fellow hurriedly ran out from the county office, hid in the alley, shuttled through the alley, and ran out without daring to stop for a moment. He led the horse out of the city, and after getting on the horse, he went straight to the beach where Princess Taiping was!

He reported the news with great fanfare, and after a while, all the good people knew about it. The clerk in the Taiping princess's shop knew about the rumors about her in the city, and tipped off the news!

Now these people in the city can't even hide in their houses!
The little guy ran to the beach without daring to stay for a moment, and did a full set of plays. When someone asked what happened, the little guy arrested the fifth prince in the street and arrested the rumormonger. The county magistrate hurriedly tried it Everything has been said in detail, it can be said to go all the way and talk all the way, after this way, these people who work by the sea basically know it all.

These people who work by the sea are not the people in the town.

They know the contribution made by Jin Meiyu, know how many fish products flow out of the port every day, how many people these fish have fed, and know that without Jin Meiyu, it is impossible to build this seaside granary!

Moreover, Princess Taiping will also do business with overseas people, so I don’t need money to do business with those people. All of them are exchanged for food, and the food is donated to the court for disaster relief for free. Princess Taiping The position of Princess Taiping is definitely well-deserved, and Princess Taiping's merits are immeasurable!
Therefore, after hearing such slander, these people were very angry.

This is really a group of ungrateful guys who pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold their mothers!
The young man boarded the fishing boat going back and forth, met Jin Meiyu in person, and by the way told him all the things he had done along the way.

How should I put it, anyway, Jin Meiyu, who was spreading chaff, was stunned when he heard it. When he finished speaking, Jin Meiyu thought about it, and said to Jin Huicong beside him.

"I remember that some time ago, the people below sent a lot of golden melon seeds, so I grabbed a handful and gave them to him."

Jin Huicong responded, and then other clever maids went to replace Jin Huicong.

When the little guy heard that there were golden melon seeds to take, the smile on his face became more and more real, and he quickly thanked him.

"Thank you master for your reward, thank you master for your reward!"

"What's your name?"

"The younger one's surname is Shen, and his first name is Thirty. The younger one is born on New Year's Eve!"

Shen Sansanxiao's flattering and pleasing, only sixteen or seventeen years old, is also pleasing to look at, so Jin Meiyu and Jin Huicong talked about it.

"Find someone in charge to take him with him, and stay here in the future and be the one in charge first."

From a waiter to the manager of the princess's fiefdom, Shen Thirty is definitely promoted!
Therefore, Shen Shisan was grateful and wished he could kneel down and kowtow to Jin Meiyu!

But Jin Meiyu didn't like this, so she was spared, and Shen Thirty happily followed the maidservant.

Jin Meiyu watched Shen Shisan leave, and then scattered the chaff she was holding, and then gave orders to Jin Huicong beside her.

"Since they look at me like that, let's get rid of their fish."

Sending fish offal to the nearby towns and villages to fill their stomachs is because the vicinity is the fiefdom of Jin Meiyu. Sending some fish offal to them is only right and proper, and even the emperor will not have any doubts about it.

After all, it is human nature, and Jin Meiyu's fiefdom is not big. All men, women, old and children are added together, and the population is less than [-]. There are only a few people, and they eat fish offal from the sea and ports, and what they eat is only a few. A small part is not as good as the rotten and spoiled fish that can't be eaten here!

So, there are people over there every day to pick up fish offal and sell it back, no one cares, but now that Jin Meiyu has opened her mouth, if the people over there come to buy fish offal, they will not give it!

Of course, this side is stuck and does not supply the fish offal to the county, but it does not mean that the supply of fish offal is really cut off there. After all, there are people from other villages and towns who will carry the fish offal to sell there.

It's just that we have traveled for such a long time, and there are a lot less fish offal sellers. With the supply exceeding the demand, the price will definitely increase!
It's okay to talk about it for a day or two, and now that there is a lot of turmoil in the county, everyone dare not go out or talk too much, so it didn't cause any trouble at first.

But after a long time, troubles came out!
After all, it is a famine year, with all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the life of the common people is difficult, many grain shops are out of cooking, and they can only buy this miscellaneous fish every day to survive!

The fish offal that can be picked out and thrown away is something that cannot be dried in the sun.The common people buy it back, of course they buy it now and eat it now. Even if there are those who are careful, they pick out some to dry and store some, but they are all uncountable things. It's not enough for the whole family to have snacks for three days.

No, in less than ten days, the people in the county couldn't take it anymore. Even if there were still some fish and offal to sell, but there were too many monks and too little porridge, many people started to go hungry.

Originally, there were good fish offal, how could you not give them the county if you didn't give them the county? ?
People from other places can still go there to pick up fish offal, the price is just to clean up an extra piece of fish offal!

What's wrong with their county?Why not!
Because of this incident, the common people can't care about the current atmosphere of making money in the county. They dragged their families to the port one by one to ask for clarification. A lot of people gathered in a county, even the county magistrate and the fifth prince were alarmed. !
Only at this time did the fifth prince know that Jin Meiyu had actually cut off the supply of offal fish in this county, and a lot of suspicions turned in the fifth prince's mind.

Once this matter broke out, unless the emperor mobilized the army to directly surround the area and prevent people from entering or leaving, Jin Meiyu's achievements would inevitably spread!

The fifth prince started a conspiracy theory right away, thinking that this in itself was Jin Meiyu's scheme!

But after thinking about it, he suppressed this thought again. After all, a ten-year-old is still a girl who has never been taught by a master. How could she have such a scheming plan?

Of course, since you know you can't let this matter become a big deal, you still have to stop it!

He couldn't come forward in this matter, so he had to ask the magistrate to come forward, to prevent the princess from colliding with the yamen servants, and drove all the gathered people back!

Although people have returned, hidden dangers have fallen.

Originally, the people were tense because they spread rumors about Princess Taiping. During this time, many people were arrested. The two peddlers who were arrested first were sent to prison for arranging the prince. Autumn asks to cut!

Those who were arrested later have not yet been tried, but it also caused many families to cry and break their hearts, and the possibility of surviving is unlikely.

Now it is because of Princess Taiping that they cannot go to the port to ask why.

The family's money was being spent out in a rush, and they might not be able to buy food. The people's resentment towards the Princess Taiping was getting bigger and bigger.

They didn't dare to resent the county master and the fifth prince, but they didn't have that kind of reverence for the woman who they said was extremely unbearable, who was lucky to get the position of princess by commoner shit.

Even if they dared not go outside to speak ill of Princess Taiping, behind their backs, at home, especially when they were hungry, they never stopped cursing and slandering her!
Although the county magistrate stopped the person back, he deeply felt that this would not work.

Once there will be two or three times. In order to prevent these things from happening, the county magistrate finally secretly found the yamen servants and asked them to go to other villages to find more people and let them join in the work of selling fish offal!

This kind of work is sure to make a profit without losing any money. After all, there is no cost. People who want to do it just need to go to the port, sit there and process an extra piece of fish offal for the steward over there, and he can process an extra piece to take away. The only downside is that the place where the fish offal accumulates has a strong smell, not only the smell of fish, but also the smell of spoiled fish. After smelling it for a long time, you may even feel dizzy.

Now that the county master asked him to do this job, these villagers didn't dare to be disobedient, so they mobilized the strength of the village to go.

In this way, the ready-made food crisis has indeed been alleviated, and the villagers who have been traveling between the port and the town have also benefited. After all, this is a cost-free business, and the price is quite high. With money and somewhere to spend it, I can finally make ends meet, everyone is happy, and this matter is considered to have calmed down.

The county magistrate felt that he was capable, and the fifth prince was relieved. Fortunately, this matter did not make a fuss, otherwise it would be a disaster!

The fifth prince, who was afraid, did not dare to stay here any longer, and handed over the matter of interrogation, spreading rumors and slander to the county magistrate, and led his people to the imperial city at full speed overnight.

He has been out for a long time, and it is time to go back!
The fifth prince left, and the county magistrate originally arrested a few more people, but when they heard that the fifth prince had left, the common people started to riot again. Many family members of the arrested people were crying and making noise at the gate of the county government office. The county magistrate I found it annoying that people arrested this group of people, beat them up, and then released them, but they didn't arrest them again.

However, who would have thought that on the third day after the fifth prince left, Jin Meiyu sent someone here, a steward, to inquire about the result of the rumor-mongering incident.

As a result, the county magistrate felt that the steward was very annoying, and asked all kinds of questions, as if he couldn't understand people's words, and he was also very annoying to see Princess Taiping at the moment.

Historically, the relationship between local officials and these imperial relatives who have been entrusted is also very delicate. After all, officials are officials of the imperial court, not officials of these imperial relatives.

So the county magistrate faced the steward, and drove him away after a few perfunctory sentences!

In the next three days, the steward came five times.

The first time it was the county magistrate, the second and third time it was the master, and the fourth time the steward had to wait for a long time. Later, a yamen servant said that both the county magistrate and the master had something to do.

For the last time, the steward was not allowed to enter the yamen!

The steward expressed his anger, and then slipped back to report to Jin Meiyu.

And Jin Meiyu's handling method is also very simple, and also stopped the fish from the nearby villages that deliver fish to the county!
The officials who stayed at the port sensed something was wrong and thought it was not good to do so. They wanted to meet Jin Meiyu, but they didn't want Jin Meiyu to send them away without even meeting him!
After getting off the fishing boat, the two officials who wanted to see Jin Meiyu looked unhappy, but they didn't want to be stopped by a steward as soon as they got off the fishing boat.

This steward is Shen Shisan, and he is also the master of the county where he went!

Only a few days after Shen Shisan stayed, he got the approval of the steward who brought him over, and he immediately took up the post and became the new steward.

There are many things on the port side, and there is a shortage of personnel on the steward's side. Adding an extra Shen Thirty is something the stewards would like to see.

After all, no one wants to work overtime day and night to settle accounts and check the accounts. The dark circles under the eyes are getting thicker and thicker, and the hair is falling out in a lot. It is good to have someone to help them share the burden!
After Shen Thirty took office, he worked very quickly and had a sweet mouth, so he quickly adapted to the current life.

No, Jin Meiyu asked people to go to the county to inquire about the situation, Shen Shisan volunteered to go, and did a good job, what he did and the news he brought back were very in line with Jin Meiyu's wishes.
