The little koi in Xuanmen are only keen on farming

Chapter 93: In Extraordinary Times, Use Extraordinary Methods
It took copious amounts of vinegar and wine to sanitize the whole city.

This is no simple matter.

So Xiao Yi called all the wine sellers and vinegar sellers in the city over.

But when Xiao Yi finished speaking, someone stood up.

"My lord, how much do you want, just ask me, my old Wang will speak first, and I will definitely give you the lowest price."

After saying this, everyone looked at Xiao Yi.

Everyone actually knew why Xiao Yi brought everyone here.

But if you use your own things for free.

Then it's really a big loss.

Although Xiao Yi said everything he needed to say, some people still felt that Xiao Yi was just looking for an excuse to make money. Several county magistrates in front of Xiao Yi had used these.

After all, there is no epidemic yet.

They all knew how poor the county magistrate Xiao Yi was, so they knew that even if it was the lowest price, Xiao Yi couldn't afford it.

That's why I thought to speak first, so that Xiao Yi was embarrassed to open his mouth.

Then the other shopkeepers began to respond one after another.

Of course Xiao Yi saw the careful thinking of these people. He knew very well what the consequences would be if this incident really happened, so he could avoid the so-called face: "I know what you mean, my official The county government has no money, even if you give me the lowest price, I can't afford it, but I hope that all shopkeepers will put the overall situation first. If the imperial court allocates funds, then I will definitely give the money and food immediately. "

Anyone with a little brain knows that what Xiao Yi said is empty talk.

If there is no epidemic, what kind of funds will the court allocate.

"My lord, this is a small business for us. Even if we want to help you, there is nothing we can do. You also know that the current natural disasters have caused bad food. If the food is bad, how can we be good?"

"Yeah, we don't have much either"

"My lord, we are really in trouble"

"I'm talking about this epidemic, whoever said that there will be a plague, sir, don't scare us."

All the people were arguing with each other.

Xiao Yi's head was agitated.

Xiao Yi knew very well that at this time, as the county magistrate, he had to show his posture, so he turned around and walked to the hall table, picked up the gavel, and then slapped it hard on the table. shoot.

After a pat on the table.

This made the hall, which was originally as lively as a vegetable market, suddenly quiet down.

After calming down, Xiao Yi inspected everyone with sharp eyes.

This look scared everyone present.

"Do you think this officer is just making excuses to ask you for money?"

These words make everyone, even those who have such thoughts, bow their heads.

After all, I think so, and I can't always say it.

Xiao Yi is also the county magistrate after all.

"I know that this is indeed a bit too much. If you don't agree, it's fine, but I only said one thing. If there is an epidemic around you, then after the epidemic is over, I will settle the score with you."

After saying this, of course the shopkeepers below are not convinced.

They are just ordinary businessmen.

They are not yamen, so why blame them.

"My lord, what do you mean, are you threatening us ordinary people?"

"My lord, and you say that, as if the epidemic is caused by us."

Xiao Yi knows that this is indeed a bit too much, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be used. If it really happens, then I don’t know how many people will suffer: "Don't you think that what I said is compiled, then since it is If you think so, why worry about this, if the epidemic hadn't happened, then such a thing would not have happened."

The truth is this truth.

But the shopkeepers present still felt something was wrong.

"I don't have a lot of money, so even if I want to buy the whole city, it's just intentional but powerless, so I can only make a bad plan. I beg everyone here." He took up his robe and knelt down on the ground.

The shopkeepers didn't expect Xiao Yi to come out like this.

"My lord, no." The shopkeeper who was close was ready to help Xiao Yi immediately.

Xiao Yi declined: "Although things haven't happened now, I still want to do something. As the official of the people's parents, I can't afford to bet on the eventuality. Let's not talk about what happened. , I don’t want to see anything happen to the common people, but I’ve been in office for a few years and I’m really incompetent, I can’t pay the money, so I can only use my thick skin to beg you, I hope you can help.”

Xiao Yi was like this, and the shopkeepers didn't know what to say.

After all, if the epidemic really happened, then Xiao Yi would look like this.

Certainly will not let it go.

But giving something for nothing makes them think nothing of it.

"I understand that you have concerns. Shopkeepers, you can go back and think about it slowly. When you have figured it out, come and reply me." Xiao Yi bowed to the people present after saying this.

The shopkeepers present immediately didn't know what to say.

Can only leave silently.

When almost everyone had left, Lu Xuan came to Xiao Yi's side with a face full of resentment: "These people are really too much, my lord, you have been here for so many years, have they not seen what you have done?" I actually thought you wanted to take this opportunity to hit them, I really don't know how they thought of this.",

The more he said this, the worse Lu Xuan's mood became.

After Xiao Yi was helped up, he smiled: "Actually, this is all blaming the official. If the official has a lot of property, then it won't be like this. They are all businessmen, so of course they have to consider their interests. After all, who doesn't have a wife and children in their family. "

These words made Lu Xuan feel even more uncomfortable. He was by Xiao Yi's side, but he knew Xiao Yi's situation best. The point actually became Xiao Yi's place of guilt.

But Xiao Yi did have a bit of a headache, saying that a clever woman can't cook without rice.

No vinegar and wine.

What to do in case of an epidemic.

He really couldn't bear the consequences.

"My lord, I am willing to help." Suddenly a voice sounded.

Xiao Yi looked over and saw Xu Dazhuang.

Xu Dazhuang smiled: "Although my family is not a wine seller or a vinegar seller, my family still has some money. I know that my family is just a small rice shop and there is not much, but if I can contribute, then I will contribute."

How could Xu Dazhuang let go of such an opportunity to perform!
