Muscles on Xing Taki's old face twitched, his body swayed, and he was about to fall, if someone nearby saw that he was not right and held him up, he might have fallen to the ground.

The Xing family is quite prestigious in Xiguan. Before the Xiliang people invaded eastward, they could only look up to the seven surnames in Xiguan.

However, after the Xiliang people broke through, the Xing family evacuated very quickly and took away a large amount of assets. On the contrary, the seven surnamed families in Xiguan had great fortunes, and it was difficult to evacuate for a while and suffered heavy losses.

Sixty-seven out of ten large households in Xiguan experienced heavy losses, but the Xing clan suffered little damage. After the war, they returned to their hometown, took back their own land, and even found grain seeds. This year's harvest is very good. Difference.

The seven surnames in Xiguan suffered heavy losses, and the vitality of the Xing family was not damaged. The Xing family has become a big family that can faintly compare with the seven surnames in Xiguan. Because of this, the Xing clan is ambitious and wants to rebuild the clan order in Xiguan after the war.

The opening of the trade ground gave the Xing family hope. The entire Xing family was already making preparations to leave the customs immediately after the trade ground was completed.

Originally, hundreds of people came to intercept Chu Huan this time, and the Xing clan also felt that it would not be of great benefit to the clan to get ahead, but Xing Long hoped to use this opportunity to enhance the prestige of the Xing clan. If Fan led the crowd to successfully persecute Chu Huan, then the prestige of the Xing family among the gentry in the entire Xiguan Road must have greatly increased. There is a certain risk, but after careful consideration, Xing Long still stood up.

But he never expected that it would be such a result in the end.

He really didn't expect that Chu Huan would take advantage of this opportunity to block the Xing clan's right to trade outside the customs. This would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Situ clan.

Xing Long felt his mind was blank, his lips flickered, but he couldn't speak.

At this moment, not only Xing Taki, but also the gentry who signed the complaint were all shocked and ashamed, but those who did not sign, although they tried their best to cover up, they still couldn't hide their gloating.

More people were rejoicing in their hearts, thinking to themselves that it was really dangerous. If they lost the opportunity to go out and trade for the sake of food, it would really be worth the loss.

Many people secretly thought that thanks to Chu Huan's timely words, if it was a little later, many people would come forward to sign, but some shrewd people faintly felt that Chu Huan suddenly showed his cards at this time, That was the right time. Of course, a group of gentry should sign the complaint to scare chickens and monkeys, but we can't just watch everyone sign. If there are too many people who sign, it will not be of any benefit to Chu Huan. At the time, only [-] or [-] companies signed, which was just right, and it was enough to have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

"By the way, I almost forgot. Since everyone is here, there is something that Ben Du still wants to clarify with you." Chu Huan held the reins of the horse and leaned forward slightly, "Everyone has said it before, you This governor can understand this. After returning to Shuoquan, the governor will issue an order that all repayable debts will be repaid with new salt instead of grain, and everything will be paid at the market price. If the other party accepts it, you can use it to hand over the food to the Department of the Household Department, and the Department of the Household Department will pay you new salt of the same price to repay your debts. Of course, the Governor will issue another order, in Xiguan In the territory, not only the outflow of grain is prohibited, but also it is strictly forbidden for anyone to trade grain in the name of a private person. All grain transactions in Xiguan can only be controlled by the government. Anyone who trades grain in private will be fined all the grain plus a fine. ...!" Waving his hand, he said, "It's fine if you don't say anything. If you drive up the price of grain in Xiguan and want to take advantage of Xiguan's difficult time to make money for the country, the governor will make it clear here. If there is one, kill one, and never Appeasement. I don’t know if any of you have this idea. If not, you’ll be fine. If so, I advise you to give up this idea. I can tolerate that you don’t cooperate with the government and don’t borrow money. To the government, but the governor will never allow anyone to make trouble in Xiguan!"

At this moment, the faces of Xing Long and other people who signed the signature were ashen, and some people even showed anger in their eyes.

The purpose of these people signing is to save their own food, and the purpose of saving food, in the final analysis, is to seek greater benefits.

Xiguan is short of grain. As we all know, if you lend grain to the government, you will get very little interest after one year. In the case of a serious food shortage, the price of food will inevitably be astonishing. When the critical moment is reached, the food in hand will be sold secretly, and the profit will be ten times or a hundred times the interest given by the government.

But at this moment, Chu Huan has made his words very clear, telling everyone clearly that Xiguan will prohibit private trading of grain, and prohibit raising grain prices.

It can be seen that Chu Huan is not trying to scare everyone, but is ready to crack down on private grain transactions to drive up grain prices.

These signatories were blocked from the right to trade out of the customs, and it was like a thunderbolt. At this time, Chu Huan released another big killer move, and the group of people suddenly lost their souls.

Grain cannot be sold at a high price, and if you keep the grain in your hands, you will not be able to obtain the planned profit. Although it is no big deal to keep the grain in the warehouse, but you cannot sell it at a high price, but you will lose the right to export and trade. This is undoubtedly It is to steal the chicken and lose the rice.

Chu Huan straightened his body with no expression on his face, and said, "I know that after I give these orders, some people will hate me and even want to kill them soon... It doesn't matter, I have been here since the first day I stepped into Xiguan. Since the beginning of the day, I have never thought of leaving alive. To tell you the truth, there are many people who want to kill Ben Du, but until now, Ben Du is still alive, but the person who wants to kill Ben Du, as long as Ben Du If he is alive, he will not be allowed to live happily." After a pause, his expression was stern, "This governor is not a good official, but ask yourself, what you want to do, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of you, this governor will not Fear. The governor governing Xiguan not only has to consider the interests of ordinary people, but also your interests. Maybe you will suffer some small losses because of certain decrees, but small losses will usher in big benefits , this point, the governor dares to pat his chest to assure. The governor said so much, but in fact there is only one meaning. If you are willing to cooperate with the orders issued by the governor, the governor believes that you will enjoy the benefits sooner or later, but if If you refuse to cooperate with the government, the governor will not care, but you don't care about the government, so don't blame the government for not caring about you... If someone is dissatisfied with the governor and wants to fight the governor directly, you might as well come here and have a try. Governor is always waiting!"

After Chu Huan finished speaking, everyone gasped.

Chu Huan didn't show off his bureaucratic tone, he was like a quack, some things that should have been kept under the table, he didn't shy away from saying it in public, but saying it like this, on the contrary, was more deterrent.

As soon as they met Chu Huan's gaze at this moment, some people felt chills all over their bodies.

There was no sound for a while, Chu Huan's expression eased, and he said with a smile: "What should be said, the governor has already made it clear, who else wants to sign, hurry up!"

At this time, no one dared to sign the signature. On the contrary, Xing Long stepped forward tremblingly, with a pleading look: "The governor is a man of great talent, with a long-term vision, and the little mouse is short-sighted, and he is ashamed. Mr. Governor, I am willing to share the harvest [-]% of the money will be lent to the government, and even the interest will not be taken by the old man...!"

"The governor has no time to deal with this matter." Before Xing Long finished speaking, Chu Huan had already said indifferently: "You bring someone to sue the head of the household department and sign the complaint. The imperial court ordered the official to deal with any crime. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs will deal with it. The governor said, I gave you a chance, but if you don’t want to borrow money, the governor will not make things difficult. Now that you have signed, the governor will not ask you again A piece of grain." He raised his head and said loudly: "Everyone, the time for spring plowing is getting closer and closer. If you want to lend grain to the government, the Governor hopes that you will pay the grain as soon as possible. When you go to the official warehouse, after the time has passed, if you want to borrow food, the government will not accept it."

The gentry who did not sign were very happy, thinking that they had escaped, and they were very happy. Someone already shouted: "My lord, the villain will go back to check the warehouse now, and hand over the grain storage bill to the local government. The grain is sent to the official warehouse, and the spring plowing will never be delayed."

For a while, everyone said that after going back, they would hurry up and do a good job of counting the grain, and they all promised to send the grain to the official warehouse in the shortest time.

Those who have signed have different expressions, some are dazed, some are painful, some don't know what to say, some have empty eyes, and some are full of resentment deep in their eyes.

Chu Huan signaled Qi Hong to bring the complaint over, glanced at it, carefully folded it, and put it in his arms. Without further ado, with a wave of his hand, Qi Hong had already led someone to open the way ahead, and everyone stepped out of the way. Come on, without saying a word, Chu Huan rode on the horse without looking sideways, and led the team through the crowd without looking back. Soon, the horse galloped, and the team turned into a small dot in the white snow, until finally Disappear.

The gentry who did not sign did not delay, and ignored Xing Long and the others. They went back in small groups, talking and laughing, while Xing Long and the others stood there blankly, silent.

After a long time, someone cautiously asked Xing Long: "What should we do now? The grain must not be sold, and our names are all on it. Even if Chu Huan does not stare at others, he will definitely stare at us."

"What else can I do." Someone said angrily: "I never thought of objecting, it was you who made noise day and night, but now it's good, even the export trade is not possible."

Arguing with each other for a while, there was a lot of noise. Xing Long hunched his body and stared blankly at the direction Chu Huan was going away. No matter what you say, you can’t lose the customs clearance document for export trade!”
