Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 115
Zhao Wenchang brought more than 3000 shi of disaster relief food into the city, and the well-informed gentry and wealthy households knew about it immediately.

They got together that night, gathered at Zhu Yuanwai's home, sent away the servants, and secretly discussed how to deal with this matter.

Boss Qian of the Kailiang Shop said: "Several foreign grain merchants came this morning, and the grain they brought totaled at least 3000 shi, plus the more than [-] shi brought by Zhao Wenchang, Qingjiang County is short-term. There is no shortage of food.

It is difficult to sell the grain in our hands for more than 40 yuan a catty! "

Chen Yuanwai asked Zhu Yuanwai: "Didn't you say that you have sent a letter to Wei Zhentian Feige in Heifengzhai to guard the road that must be passed, and no matter whether it is robbing or killing, you cannot release grain merchants from other places?" Come in? Why didn't he do it?"

Foreign grain merchants and grain enter the market, how can they monopolize the small market in Qingjiang County?Only by monopolizing this market can they decide the price of grain.

These people have been associated with Heifengzhai for many years.

Over the years, through the hands of Zhu Yuanwai, they have continuously delivered various supplies to Heifeng Village, making Heifeng Village develop from a small cottage to a big cottage that is a headache for the government.

The people from Heifengzhai have also been acting as thugs for them, settling some matters for them that they can't directly solve.

The two sides have always been a mutually beneficial relationship.

But this time, why is Wei Zhentian disobedient?
Chen Yuanwai looked at Zhu Yuanwai suspiciously, "Did you not explain clearly?"

Zhu Yuanwai was wandering in the sky, not listening to Chen Yuanwai at all.

He was always worried about the hundred or so people he sent out. He asked them to pretend to be bandits from Heifeng Village to rob and kill grain merchants from other places, but they never returned, neither alive nor dead.

Those foreign grain merchants successfully brought grain into Qingjiang County. Presumably, they should have been killed by the masters brought by those grain merchants.

Zhu Yuanwai felt a little distressed, those are the people he cultivated with great difficulty, and they have been using them very smoothly. I didn't expect to fold them all in this time...

Chen Yuanwai hadn't seen Yuanwai Zhu for a long time, and he got impatient. He reached out and knocked on the table in front of Yuanwai Zhu, and asked dissatisfiedly, "I'm asking you something, are you listening?"

Zhu Yuanwai withdrew his mind and asked, "What?"

Chen Yuanwai had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.

Zhu Yuanwai hummed, and said: "When I first heard the news that Zhao Wenchang was going to lure a large number of foreign grain merchants to Qingjiang County, I immediately sent a letter to Wei Zhentian Feige.

I suggest that they, Heifengzhai, come forward and rob all the grain brought by foreign grain merchants, and then hand it over to us for sale, and we will share the money with Heifengzhai equally.

However, as soon as my letter was handed out, it disappeared, and Wei Zhentian has not given me any reply so far.

Thinking about it, his wings are hardened now, and he won't need our support anymore, so he ignored my suggestion..."

When those gentry and wealthy households heard this, they all sighed, Zhu Yuanwai is indeed the biggest landlord in Qingjiang County, he dared to think more than them.

They only dared to think about letting the bandits in Heifengzhai scare away grain merchants from other places and help them monopolize the grain market in Qingjiang County.

Zhu Yuanwai dared to let Heifengzhai rob and kill all the non-local grain merchants, take the grain brought by the grain merchants as his own, and sit on the ground to divide the spoils.

This idea is really good, but it's a pity that Wei Zhentian of Heifengzhai didn't cooperate, which caused them to miss a good opportunity to make a fortune.

The gentry and wealthy households scolded Wei Zhentian for his disobedience, and decided that they would never send supplies to Heifengzhai again.

They didn't know that Wei Zhentian had already brought someone to stand at the door of the living room.Wei Zhentian heard every word they said.

Wei Zhentian kicked the door open and walked in fiercely.

"Zhu, Yuan, Wai, when did you pass the letter to Feige? Why didn't I know?"

Zhu Yuanwai felt guilty when he saw Wei Zhentian, because he sent someone to pretend to be a bandit in Heifengzhai to do private work.

But what Wei Zhentian wanted to ask was about Feige passing on letters, he was not guilty of this, he really did it.

He clearly stated when he wrote the letter, what was written in the letter, and when the carrier pigeon was released, and he also described in detail the mood he had been looking forward to for three days.

Wei Zhentian sneered, and said, "Let's not talk about carrier pigeons, I haven't even seen a single pigeon feather.

I did meet Zhu Yuanwai's confidant, he led more than 100 people, wearing black clothes in broad daylight, covering their faces, pretending to be our brothers from Heifengzhai, robbing and killing passing grain merchants at the intersection.

It's a pity that they have no skills and were caught.

That little girl really regarded them as people from our village, tied them into a string, threw them at the gate of our village, and scolded me for a long time at the gate.

Zhu Yuanwai, what are you going to do about this matter? "

As soon as Wei Zhentian finished speaking, the second and third masters of Heifengzhai pulled a rope, pulled in the group of living men in black, and kicked them to Zhu Yuanwai's feet.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the rich and gentlemen of the country took their leave and left under the pretext of having something to do at home.

They can't afford to get involved in Wei Zhentian and Zhu Yuanwai's affairs.

But they already understood that it was not Heifengzhai who did the bad thing this time, but Zhu Yuanwai.

They were a little bit more dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanwai.

Wei Zhentian and his group stayed in Zhujiazhuang until the next morning when it was dawn, and then they left with [-] boxes.

Zhu Yuanwai watched the eighteen cages go away, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Those eighteen boxes and cages contained the wealth that he had worked so hard for most of his life!

What reputation damage fee?He, Wei Zhentian, is a stinking bandit leader, where did he get such a reputation?
If it weren't for the fear that Wei Zhentian would slash his family with a knife, he would never have given away those wealth!

He swore that one day sooner or later, he would find a way to get the government to wipe out Wei Zhentian's Black Wind Village, and cut Wei Zhentian into pieces!

……

After Wei Zhentian left, in order to maintain the normal expenses of the family and appease the families of the dead under him, Zhu Yuanwai decided to sell part of the land.

When other gentry and wealthy households heard about this, they began to sympathize with Zhu Yuanlai again.

At the same time, they also became jealous of Heifengzhai, fearing that one day they would offend Wei Zhentian and become the second Zhu Yuanwai.

They couldn't help asking themselves, was their act of making offerings to Heifeng Village right or wrong?
The next day, Chen Yuanwai took over half of Zhu Yuanwai's land, took off the name of Wannian's second son, replaced Zhu Yuanwai, and became the largest landlord in Qingjiang County...

On the same day, Jiang Erya emptied her money bag, pooled 4000 taels of silver, and bought the 300-mu unowned land near Xinglin Village. She fulfilled her small goal and became a small landlord.

She has land, but she is short of money...
