Chapter 113 Anger
With an order from Wei Zhixian, the county government vacated all the houses that could be vacated to accommodate the victims who were driven out by the landlord.

How many common people have entered the county government?Even if they have entered, at most they have gone to the lobby and the second hall, and the rest of the places are so mysterious to them.With curious eyes, they were shyly led into rooms by the guards.

Although nearly a hundred rooms were vacated in the county office, a steady stream of disaster victims came one after another, and these rooms were quickly filled.

Seeing the solemn county government office filled with disaster victims, the white-haired old man whispered to the guard, "Where does the elder live?"

"Here." The guard said with a little chin: "The courtyard in the middle is."

"Scared, the old man's residence was also given to us?" the white-haired old man said in surprise. "What about his family?"

"Eat radish salty and don't worry about it," the guard scolded, "Why ask so many questions?"

But the white-haired old man had already walked into the magistrate's house, and said to the victims inside: "Come out, this is the inner house of the elder."

The victims were also taken aback. Without saying a word, they all packed up and packed up, not forgetting to restore the items inside to their original state.

.

In that room, so many people lived in the county office, there were too many things to arrange, and Wei Zhixian was already in a state of desperation.

When he heard that there were still many people who had no place to live, he finally couldn't help getting angry: "Isn't there enough room? Where is it empty?"

"The Grand Master's house."

"Didn't the madam and miss move out?"

"The madam and miss have moved out, but the victims heard that it was the old man's house, so they insisted on refusing to live in it." The guard replied.

"Alas..." Wei Zhixian sighed, "Call Chief Qin over here."

"Yes."

After a while, the white-haired old man came over.

"Let the folks live in the county magistrate's house." Wei Zhixian asked him to sit down, with exhaustion on his face.

"We can't disturb the Eldest Master's family." Li Chang Qin said resolutely, "Don't worry Elder Master, we just need to squeeze."

"My family is small, only Zhuo Jing and my little girl," Wei Zhixian shook his head and said, "They have already lived in my student's house." He raised his hand and said, "Don't be stubborn, at this time, obeying the arrangement is the best thing for me. Good support."

"This... yes." Li Chang Qin had no choice but to respond in a low voice.

It was so easy to settle the victims down and get them to take care of their food properly. Just as Wei Zhixian was about to drink his saliva, he breathed a sigh of relief when Hu Buliu came in again with a helpless expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Wei Zhixian said weakly, rubbing his throbbing temples.

"Tang Zun," Hu Buliu hesitantly said, "There are people...kneeling at the gate of the yamen."

"Just let them come in together," Wei Zhixian closed his eyes and said, "If you can't live together, you can squeeze together, two families share a room."

"This time it's not the disaster victims," ​​Hu Buliu swallowed, "It's the people of our Fuyang..."

Wei Zhixian suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Hu Buliu, and said word by word: "Why?"

"Tang Zun will know when he goes out to have a look..." Hu Buliu said, but he was unwilling to provoke Wei Zhixian.

Wei Zhixian stood up without saying a word, his thin body swayed, Hu Buliu hurried to help him, but he pushed him away.

Putting on his official hat again, Wei Zhixian stepped out of the signing room with heavy steps, and walked to the front office.

He walks this road every day, and it has never been as heavy as it is now.Even just now, he didn't feel so heavy when he heard that the disaster victims were driven out.

But no matter how heavy the walk is, there will be a moment when it is reached.When he walked to the gate of the yamen, he saw more than a hundred people from the county kneeling outside the gate... When they saw him come out, those people burst into tears.

"Everyone," Wei Zhixian suppressed his anger, raised his arms and said, "If you have something to say, don't cry."

But his words had no effect, instead the crying became louder...

"What are you crying about?" Wei Zhixian had never felt so helpless.

"They are crying for the county magistrate Chen." Hu Buliu whispered, "I kept shouting earlier, 'Where did you go, magistrate Chen? Why did you leave us behind'..." After a pause, he spat: "I don't know What a bastard!"

Wei Zhixian seemed to be frozen, his face pale.His heart is broken...

What could be more ashamed of him than this?This is a blatant slap in the face!

Who is the reason for my hard work?Could it be for those disaster victims, no, it has nothing to do with them!
I am for Fuyang, for the people of Fuyang!

But they rewarded themselves like this!

Wei Zhixian's chest was filled with qi and blood, and finally his eyes went dark, and he fainted at the gate of the yamen.

"My lord, my lord..." The guards panicked and hurriedly carried him back to the signing room.

Just as he was going to see Dr. Wu, Wei Zhixian woke up and said slowly, "Let the people outside send a few representatives to speak."

"Tang Zun, your body..." Hu Buliu whispered.

"Go!" Wei Zhixian suddenly raised his voice and patted the edge of the bed heavily.

"Yes." Hu Buliu didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, he ran out quickly, and brought seven or eight old people in with a cup of tea.

Seeing that the old man was so angry, the old people felt apprehensive, knelt down and kowtowed, saying they were guilty.

"Get up, please sit down." Wei Zhixian lay on the bed, weakly said: "What's your crime?"

"I made my old parents mad..." the old people said anxiously.

"I'm not angry, I'm just too tired," Wei Zhixian did not admit it, and said lightly: "I invite you to come here, not to ask questions, but to have an open and honest talk. What is wrong with this county? Let you Miss the former magistrate so much?"

"This……"

Seeing the old people groaning, Wei Zhixian said: "We just chat and talk. It doesn't matter what you call me, I will never blame you."

"Then dare to say it..." The old people said cautiously: "In fact, they all said that the old parents don't have his people in their hearts, and they only want to get promoted and get rich..."

"..." In Wei Zhixian's eyes, raging anger flashed.With great difficulty, he suppressed himself and said, "Why do you say that?"

"They said that other counties take care of the people in their own county first. As for the victims of disasters in other counties, as long as they don't starve to death, only Fuyang County takes care of those people in other counties first. We, the people in this county, have become stepmothers instead. Raised!" The old people became more and more angry, and the initial fear disappeared: "They said, the old man is here to please the boss, and the purpose is naturally to get promoted!"

"..." Wei Zhixian said with a livid face, "Then where did 'get rich' come from?"

"Of course there are [-] mu of terraced fields," the old man replied, "They said that the reason why the county has been reluctant to sell the land is because they don't want to sell it at a low price! In order to make more money, the old man would rather let us people have no food!"

"That's right, wasn't the purpose of not letting the folks trade land in the first place be to prevent the grain in the hands of big households from falling into our hands?"

"Hehe..." Wei Zhixian felt a deep sadness in his heart, he couldn't even get angry with these ignorant old people.He asked in a low voice, "Who are they?"

"They," the old people smacked their lips, said in a low voice, "they are the ones with insight."

"You were used as a weapon by them." Wei Zhixian said indifferently: "They want to force me to submit and sell the land to them at a low price."

"Even if we are used as gunmen, we are willing." The old people said stubbornly: "We only know that Yongfeng warehouse is empty, and we ordinary people are going to starve!"

"Who told you that Yongfeng warehouse is empty?" Wei Zhixian said coldly.

"They..." the old people said: "This kind of thing can't be hidden."

"Then do you know who owns all the food in Fuyang County?" Wei Zhixian had already passed the anger and sadness, and gradually calmed down.

"They..." The faces of the old people changed slightly.

"Do you know how much food they have?" Wei Zhixian asked again.

The old people shook their heads, they didn't know that.

"At least [-] shi." Wei Zhixian said indifferently: "If you are not familiar with this number, I can tell you that the capacity of Yongfeng warehouse is [-] shi."

"Ah, so much?" The old people couldn't help but secretly startled. They never imagined that the famine would last for almost two months, and there were seven regular warehouses of grain hidden in the homes of the big households.

"It's rainy and humid in Zhejiang, so there's not much grain in the warehouse, so it's impossible for them to store the grain before." Wei Zhixian said again: "In addition, everyone knows that the spring famine is only temporary. And the court exempted Zhejiang Half of this year's tax and grain, so when the summer harvest comes, the grain will naturally be enough."

"In other words, there are at most two months left in the spring famine. Then I would like to ask you, what do they mean by storing [-] shi of grain at home?" Wei Zhixian said quietly. He would like to follow the teaching of Confucius. Complain, and make up your mind to go to war with those big families.

Of course not for eating... The old people know it well, this is hoarding!
"They are planning to buy the people's property at a very low price when the grain in Fuyang County is exhausted!" Wu Wei, who was standing by the side, said in a deep voice at this time: "It doesn't matter whether it is land property or real estate in the county. , Shop! As long as it is valuable, they will not refuse!"

"Think about it, everyone." Wu Wei continued: "The tea garden in your family can be sold for [-] yuan per mu, but because it is not harvested, someone took the opportunity to buy it for four shi of grain. Are you willing to accept it?"

The old people shook their heads in unison, but one of them whispered: "There is nothing you can do if you don't accept it. You can't just watch your family members starve to death."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked sad. Once it came to that time, how could people have the right to refuse?
"Now everyone knows that this period of time is the time when the price of grain is the most expensive and the price of land is the cheapest." Wu Wei sneered, "Isn't my elder just greedy for money, and would choose this time to sell the land?"

All the old people shook their heads together, the little fat man was right, the old man was definitely not selling the fields for making money at this time.

"To protect your family property, the Elder Master banned private land transactions and sold official land!" Wu Wei said angrily, "You understand now!"
