After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

The temperature coming from her palm made Su Qing calm down. She looked at the crowd without changing her face, "If you want to speak, you should open up, but if you don't abide by the rules, you will end up here."

Su Qing looked at Liang Jingrui, Liang Jingrui slightly nodded at Su Qing, looked at Liu Chuanzhi, "Master Liu, who are these people?"

Liu Chuanzhi bowed and said, "My lord, these are merchants from the Yucheng Chamber of Commerce. There are many merchants who come to Yucheng. As long as you join this chamber of commerce, the chamber of commerce will intervene in any business affairs that happen in Yucheng."

Liang Jingrui said calmly, "Oh, then if someone intentionally uses the chamber of commerce to do things that endanger other merchants, how will the chamber of commerce deal with it?"

Liu Chuanzhi quickly said, "It's impossible. The essence of the Chamber of Commerce is to be fair and just. That kind of thing will never happen."

Liang Jingrui looked at Xu Dongsheng, "Since there is a chamber of commerce in Yucheng, why don't you join it?"

Xu Dongsheng had already been untied at this time. He knelt on the ground and said, "If you go back to the lord, Caomin is just a commoner. They come here to grow food and sell it just to earn a little hard money. The first step to join the chamber of commerce is to pay five dollars. For the membership fee of two silver, the grassroots are unwilling to hand over the silver for no reason, and this chamber of commerce is only established by the Yucheng merchants themselves. When there is something to do, they take care of themselves. Do not join."

Another person stroked his beard and said, "You are talking nonsense. The chamber of commerce has its own rules, and paying the membership fee is just to provide better service to everyone. If you don't join, no one will force you. Why do you need to talk nonsense?"

Xu Dongsheng shook his arms, and said coldly: "I'm talking nonsense. I grow the food myself. I need to find a few people to work for me. I will pay the wages. In the end, you insist that I am not a businessman in Yucheng, so I I can’t find someone to help me thresh the wheat. That’s not enough. You come to trouble me again and again. One day you say my wheat is not growing well, and the next day you say my wheat is not a good thing. When I decide not to find someone, I will sell it like this. At that time, you came over again and said that I was breaking the rules of the Yucheng Chamber of Commerce, and that it was wrong for me to sell at a low price."

When Xu Dongsheng said this, his voice was a little choked, he kowtowed to Liang Jingrui, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, what Caomin said is true. Because I grow wheat, and I plan to spend a year's money here I only went back after earning all the money, so I found a villager to live in his house. Only then did I know that two years of natural disasters had caused many people to starve to death. I saw with my own eyes a pregnant woman, He even ate the bark, but every day those Lizheng and government officials would come to collect taxes. Some would say that he would have to pay the land use tax, and some would say that he had a large family and that he would have to pay the poll tax on a head-to-head basis. And the titles are different every time, the prince can ask any commoner casually to see if the common people are talking nonsense."

Xu Dongsheng wiped his face, "Since the Chamber of Commerce knew that I was going to sell the wheat on the spot, and it was lower than the market price, they surrounded me early and talked about me all day, but I didn't agree. They also want to force me to transfer the wheat to them at a low price. If the villagers here don’t come to see me often, I don’t know if this land belongs to me.”

"That's not to mention, I rented the villagers' land, but someone came to them to make trouble, saying that my wheat planting here affected them, and asked me to move away as soon as possible, and my field would be destroyed. If I hadn't gritted my teeth and persisted, Now I am afraid that I will die on the road."

Su Qing never thought that Xu Dongsheng had experienced so much, and every time he wrote a letter, he would only say that everything was fine, so that Su Qing could feel at ease.

Su Qing clenched her fists tightly, the anger in her chest seemed to burn everything here, she clenched her teeth and rattled.

"Just gibberish."

The people from the Chamber of Commerce stood up and pointed at Xu Dongsheng, "How dare you talk nonsense in front of the prince, you are slander, insult, I can sue you."

Xu Dongsheng roared, "You go and sue, the prince is here, and the villagers here know everything that happened, I want to see, when will you cover the sky with one hand, Mr. Liu is just the lord of Yucheng, he doesn't The prince is big, the prince is the master of Qingtian."

After Xu Dongsheng finished speaking, he made a gesture of throwing himself to the ground, "My lord, please make the decision for the grass people."

The people behind them finally came to their senses, and they knelt down one after another, "Please ask the prince to make decisions for the grass people."

The old man who yelled at the beginning cried and said: "My lord, we have nothing to donate. The copper coins I have on my body are also exchanged with my life. Xu Dong's family is a good person. Even if it is a few copper coins, I will give us some." Wheat, food in the city is too expensive, we really can’t afford it, although we are poor, we still want to live.”

"Yes, we also want to live on. Then Mr. Liu can't see our hard work at all. He only has those businessmen in his eyes."

"Fart, dare to slander adults like this, don't you want to live?"

Liu Zhixin was furious, "Shut up for me, all the exorbitant taxation is what the court said, Master Liu didn't do anything wrong, it was all caused by you poor people."

"My lord, the price of food is set according to the official price. Besides, merchants value profits, that's the way it is, and the food in Yucheng is much cheaper than the nearby counties and counties. It's already very good. It's these troublemakers Satisfied, deliberately turning black and white here, the prince must not believe them."

Liu Chuanzhi didn't speak all the time, he stood there quietly, as if he was an outsider.

Su Qing said: "In this case, let's all go back to the yamen, settle the matter, and deal with the parties involved."

Liu Chuanzhi said at this time, "What's the matter? Miss, at this moment, nothing affects the prince's mood."

Su Qing looked down at what she was wearing. It was clearly men's clothes. Why did everyone find out that she was a woman? It seems that women in modern TV dramas disguise themselves as men, and men can't find out for a long time. This is not true.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Chuanzhi's eyes were cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "I will do what the court says, and these unruly people dare to have an opinion. Just now, the lady said that killing people is killing people. It can be seen that this method is very good. To deal with these unruly people, just This should be done, come and do it.”

More than 100 guards appeared around, all of them rushed out. Seeing this, Su Qing never thought that Liu Chuanzhi could be so crazy.

At this time, the common people shouted one after another, Liu Chuanzhi pointed at Xu Dongsheng, "Kill him."

Su Qing shouted, "Stop, Liu Chuanzhi, are you forcing the palace?"
