Chapter 41

Cui's Grain Shop, the shopkeeper of the Grain Shop who used to have a sad face, now has a proud expression on his face.

Any problem that can be solved is not a problem.

"Have the notices been posted?" Asked Cui, who was sitting in the back hall of the shop with a charcoal stove, while making tea.

The clerk at the grain shop said with a smile, "It's been posted. There's a commotion going on outside right now, and the common people are even clamoring to go to the county government to ask why."

"Let them quarrel for a while, the bigger the quarrel, the better." Shopkeeper Cui said with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he continued to make his own tea with the old god still present.

The guy smiled and said a few words, and looked at the carbon stove beside him.

It's really cold these days, and there's no better way to keep warm. It's good to hide in a house with a carbon stove.

At this time, all the grain merchants in the city posted notices at the same time, and their meanings were the same, that is, from today onwards, the sales of grain will be reduced again.

This news, like a thunderbolt, directly awakened the originally peaceful town.

Regardless of whether there is food at home or not, people are arranged to line up to buy food, and even for the time being, no matter how much they can buy, at least buy it first.

Although there is some harvest this year, it is not the harvest of every household, it is enough for the family to live on. In addition, in these years, many families have sold their fields in order to survive.

The successive restrictions on the sale of food made them feel scared.

It may be difficult for people who have never been hungry or experienced years of famines to understand how they feel at this time.

And among them, some aggressive and daring guys directly grabbed the guys at the grain shop and asked them why they did this.

This is not a good sign...

At this moment, in a restaurant diagonally across from Cui's grain store, Huang Song saw the scene of chaos in front of Cui's grain store, and said with a smile: "So he came up with this idea."

They must also be very concerned about what happened last night.

No matter what choice they made, they all want to know the outcome.

This is very strange, like not knowing the result, there is a stone in my heart that cannot be let go.

Of course they knew what the Yang, Li, and Wang families were doing today.

Combined with the reaction of the Cui family, then everything is self-evident.

"I think it's a big business, don't you just ask us to help buy food?" The businessman surnamed Yang snorted.

Of course, if you buy a lot, it can be regarded as a big deal. If the Cui family does this, it is probably not a problem to charge [-]% or [-]% profit.

After all, in their view, a person of status like Li Chengqian would not mind such a small profit.

What do these people value?It's face!
"But the Cui family is afraid that something will happen if they do this." Someone said.

Indeed, Jingyang has endured a famine for too long, and everyone is frightened by hunger. The Cui family's actions will easily cause panic among the common people.

"What do we care?" The businessman surnamed Yang has let himself go completely since he was almost scared to death yesterday.

He finally understood that the struggle of these people was beyond his ability to meddle. Since he couldn't afford to be meddled, he might as well move a small bench and watch a play on the sidelines.

As long as he let go of his mentality, he is completely the kind of person who watches the excitement and is not afraid of big troubles.

Fighting, fighting to death counts as one, fighting to death makes a pair, good thing!
Huang Song was calmer than him, thought more, thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, our magistrate will not just stand by and watch such a thing happen.

No matter how the Cui family struggles, the most important thing is to keep the magistrate's position. If there is a serious trouble, our magistrate will feel uncomfortable. "

"So, that young man can really beat the Cui family this time?" the businessman surnamed Yang asked.

Although he has a very positive attitude now, if the Cui family can suffer, he is also happy.Of course, even if Li Chengqian was deflated, he would be happy.Anyway, in his heart, neither side is a good thing.

It's fine if you don't do business, but you just like to use your family background to get involved, what the hell?

Cui Hao thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily the case, it's hard to say, it depends on how the Cui family prepares for it.

Not to mention, these two sides are really ruthless, one gathers people's heads and gathers sand into a sea, and the other directly cuts off the supply of goods, so that you can't even catch the sand. "

"If you want to put it this way, if we didn't leave yesterday and the seven of us made a move together, wouldn't it be possible for that young man to succeed?" Someone asked again.

When he said that, everyone was taken aback.

That's right, it was originally the seven of them who came yesterday.

As a result, because they were persuaded, there are only three left now.

"It's a fart." The businessman surnamed Yang immediately said, "Li Qinjian and the others were all kicked by the donkey. What kind of family is the Cui family? A thousand-year-old noble family! What is the young man fighting against them? I don't know that young man. What ecstasy soup was poured into them, and it really made these guys look like idiots, so they rushed forward.

You see, after the young man left, let's see how the Cui family deal with them! "

Although he wanted to see the Cui family unlucky, but when it came to what happened last night, he immediately changed his position. Doesn't it seem that he is very worthless?

Huang Song smiled, but didn't say anything.

He also thinks this is the reason.

Fighting the Cui family for an outsider who doesn't know the basics is out of the question.

No matter how profitable the business is, it's not worth it.

However, how do they know how big this business is!
And at this moment, shopkeeper Cui heard that a fight was about to start outside, so he walked out slowly.

As soon as he came out, the rough man who was still carrying the grain store clerk let go of his hand.

Not to mention that the Cui family is powerful, Jingyang has been able to barely survive these years, and few people have died, that is because of their Cui family's transportation of food every year.

Even though some of them sold the few acres of land left in their family to the Cui family, they still remember the Cui family well.

In this day and age, everyone really takes kindness seriously!

"Folks, listen to me. If you think what I said is wrong, even if you folks smashed my shop, I won't say a word of complaint." As soon as he came out, Cui shopkeeper stood in front of the grain shop. said loudly.

Everyone is willing to listen to his words.

After all, in recent years, many people in Jingyang have barely made a living by relying on the grain shop he runs.

Besides, people have already talked about this, so it doesn't hurt to listen to it.

"Treasurer Cui has something to say, please tell me."

……

For a while, many people asked Cui shopkeeper to explain in detail why all this happened.

Of course, I don't know if there is any delay in this.

"We don't want to do this either. Really, fellow folks know that in the most difficult time of the year, when everyone had nothing to eat, our grain shop did not cut down the grain distribution twice in a few days. Sell ​​it."

"Treasurer Cui is right."

"That is, when the famine was the worst, we could all buy food."

"Yes, but why today?"

Everyone responded.

After all it is what it is.

"I can't help it. Some businessmen have black hearts. They are secretly hoarding grain and want to sell it to other places. But this is our grain in Jingyang. They sell the grain to other places. What about the people in Jingyang? So, in desperation, we had no choice but to make this move.”

Shopkeeper Cui's voice was so loud that even Huang Song and the others who were sitting across from him could get a rough idea of ​​it.

After Cui shopkeeper finished speaking, everyone immediately scolded: "I know, I saw people from the Yang family also coming to buy food this morning. They are black-hearted businessmen who have been doing it for a long time!"

"And the Li family!"

"And the Wang family!"

For a time, the crowd was excited.

To be honest, they are not afraid of who has the food, as long as they can see it. To put it bluntly, they are really on the verge of starving to death. At least let me know where to grab it, right?

If the food is transported to other places, it really can only wait for death, and there is no hope at all!
"Treasurer Cui, we must do this, we support you!"

"Yes, yes, don't let those black-hearted businessmen take away our grain in Jingyang!"

"That's it!"

On the other side, Huang Song and the others were shocked when they heard this. The Cui family is really ruthless!
This is to force people to death!

"Fortunately, we left yesterday." The businessman surnamed Yang said with some fear, "Otherwise, these guys would want to peel our skin."

Speaking of this, he actually laughed, Yang Lin and the others were out of luck!

PS: I'm speechless, I just finished writing and was about to set up automatic updates, my hand slipped...
