Clause 116
"That's right, Silkworm Moon's suspension of work is justified!" Wu Wei said with a smile: "According to the regulations, the county government should suspend collection and stop litigation in April, and have a rest with the people! This 'levy' includes tax collection and husband collection!"

"What about the victims?" Wei Zhixian asked.

"We still use work as relief, but instead raise silkworms at home. The government will distribute silkworm eggs and rations to them, so that they can concentrate on raising silkworms, and then hand them over to the government for raw silk." Wang Xian obviously had a plan for a long time ago: "Last month , I asked a few money and grain merchants to go to Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou to buy a large number of silkworm eggs..."

"You expected this day to come?" Wei Zhixian stared at him.

"My subordinates are not gods either," Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "I'm just worried that if something goes wrong, there is a remedy."

"If you don't expect victory, you will count defeat first. Well, it's not bad." Wei Zhixian no longer delved into these details, and now as long as he can recover the loss without letting the government lose its trust, he will be grateful to burn incense.But he is a gentleman after all, he pays attention to word must be believed, action must be resolute.I felt that since I signed the contract, it would be a breach of trust if I didn't fulfill it, "What should I do after the silkworm moon is over? The things that have been agreed can't be delayed again and again."

"Guaranteed not to leave Silkworm Moon, the problem will be solved." Wang Xian patted his chest and said, "Of course, the Elder Master still needs to issue a notice."

"What notice?" Wei Zhixian asked.

"Didn't the Elder say sadly that the people of Fuyang complained about you?" Wang Xian said with a smile: "Once this notice is issued, the hearts of the common people will be guaranteed to run to the Elder!"

"Don't be a fool!" Wei Zhixian's heart was scratching, and he urged: "Quickly tell me!"

Wang Xian explained the content of the notice, and Wei Zhixian and Wu Xiaopang were dumbfounded when they heard it...

"This, this is too cruel..." Wu Wei said dumbfounded: "You are going to play them to death!"

"Okay!" Wei Zhixian became excited and said: "It can not only solve the chronic diseases of the poor people's livelihood, but also allow those big households to spend their food in their hands, and also relieve the county... It really kills four birds with one stone, so why not Not for!"

He immediately drafted it himself, wrote two notices, and asked people to post the first one after printing!The last copy was handed over to the copying room to copy [-] copies each, and posted in the whole county!
Coming out of the signing room, Wu Wei asked in a low voice: "My lord said that one arrow kills four birds, why did he only say three?"

"Little Fatty, do you really have martial arts?" Wang Xian turned around, squeezed his cheeks and said, "I can't tell."

"..." Wu Wei nodded depressedly. "I learned a little bit about three-legged cats from my father."

"A real person doesn't show his face." Wang Xian smiled and said in a low voice, "This is the fourth eagle of the Grand Master."

"So that's how it is." Wu Wei got it right.He knew that the old man looked like a gentleman, but he had a strong desire for revenge.So the fourth eagle is to get a chance to take revenge.

Wang Xian let go of his hand, put it around his neck instead, and walked out of the back office with a big smile.

.

In the Yang family's other business, all the members gathered together again, but the atmosphere in the hall was completely different from yesterday.

All the faces that were full of ambition remained, and all of them were covered with clouds.There was no way, looking at Yang Jian's face that was beaten into a pig's head, even if he had a grudge against him on weekdays, he would inevitably feel sad.

After listening to Yang Jian's story, the mood of all the members became even worse.They also couldn't figure it out, how did Wang Xian know Ma Sanbao?
"This is going to be troublesome." Yu Yuanwai said worriedly: "With Zheng He's support, Wei Zhixian still doesn't make a list with us?"

"What are you afraid of?" Wang Yuanwai said nonchalantly: "Didn't you hear what Lao Yang said, who is Eunuch Zheng? He won't care about our county. As long as we don't make trouble, we can do whatever we want."

"That's right." Li Yuanwai nodded and said, "There's no need for us to panic. During this period of time, tell the family to be careful and don't give others a handle. What can the government do to me?"

"Our field... will not be a problem." This is what the members are most concerned about.

"It will be fine." Wang Yuanwai said decisively: "Wei Zhixian has already used the big seal on the contract in black and white, and he has no way to repudiate the debt!"

"That's right." All the members nodded and said: "The contract in the government, even if you go to Emperor Yongle, you have to accept it."

"There is one more thing, have you thought about it?" Member Yu whispered again: "Wang Xian is back, will the grain boats be far behind? I heard that there are fifty grain boats with [-] grains each... seven Eight hundred shi, counting seven hundred shi, there is still [-] shi of rice... Our [-] shi of rice should not be devalued."

Everyone was sweating immediately.In the past two months, Fuyang has experienced a spring famine, but the big households are enjoying themselves every day.Because the price of the [-] shi of grain they stored was one price a day, and it went up to the sky.It can be sold for seven or eight dollars a bucket, that is, seven or eight taels of silver a stone, don't think it's expensive, there is nowhere to buy it if you have money!

This allowed them to experience the thrill of rapid asset appreciation, and their mood naturally flew to the clouds.But as soon as the rice from Huguang arrives, the price of food will definitely fall, at least half of it, so how much less money will be made...

"This is really troublesome." Member Yang wiped off his sweat and said, "We can't let the price of food drop!"

"How is it possible..." The members noticed that he had not only a pig's head, but also a pig's brain. "If we have a good relationship with the county, we can even control the magistrate. There is still hope. But now the surname Wei hates us, It is impossible to raise the price for us.”

"There's nothing to hesitate." Li Yuanwai clapped the case and said, "Before the common people don't know, let's split up the shipments! You can earn as much as you want!"

"Okay." All the members nodded, and Yu said, "If you want to sell as much as possible, do you have to lower the price?"

"At least six taels and one stone." Li Yuanwai thought for a while and said, "But don't show the bottom until the end, if you can sell it at a high price for one stone, you can earn a little more!"

"Understood." Everyone got up and wanted to go out, but they saw Li Yu and Li Xiucai hurried in as if they had seen a ghost, and they didn't care to greet the elders, so they anxiously said: "Father, something is wrong!"

"Calm down!" Li Yuanwai felt a little embarrassed, and scolded: "How do you usually teach you!"

"..." Li Yu pursed his lips depressedly, and said in a low voice, "My child is shocked."

"You will be an official in the future. No matter what you do, you must keep calm." Li Yuanwai then put on a straight face, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Let's talk."

"The county government posted a notice saying that because of the silkworm taboo in April, the government stopped collecting and suing the lawsuit, and had a rest with the people! Therefore, the opening of the fields was suspended for January, and the disaster victims would no longer be married, and instead raised silkworms for the government..."

'Pfft...' Li Yuanwai sprayed water on his son's face firmly, and his voice changed: "What?" Because he was too excited and choked on the saliva again, Li Yuanwai coughed violently.

The hall exploded immediately, and the expressions of the staff members were wonderful!
"It's too shameless!" Wang Yuanwai said furiously: "You cheated us of our food, and you won't admit it in a blink of an eye!"

"Despicable!" Member Yang trembled with anger, "I don't accept the account just by signing and using the seal. Does the surname Wei have any credit?" After a pause, he said: "If a person cannot stand without trust, he is not considered an individual!"

"Bastard, brute!" Li Yuanwai finally calmed down with the help of his son, his face was still purple and said: "It's too shameless! How can people be so shameless?"

"Could it be that he can stop work at will?" Everyone looked at Yuanwai Yang and Yuanwai Wang. The deed was signed by the two of them, so they should be familiar with the terms. "What do you think of the contract?"

"There is a limited delivery date on the contract." The two officers said incredulously: "If you don't believe me, take it out and have a look!"

"Quick, take it out!" Li Yuanwai took out the key and handed it to his son.

After a while, Li Yu took back the contract kept by the Li family.All the members came up to take a look, and saw that the delivery date was clearly written on the third article... There are five batches in total, one batch of [-] acres, the first batch is delivered on the fifth day of April, the second batch is delivered on the fifth day of May, and the next month batch.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanwai said loudly: "Let me tell you, we looked at it carefully at the time, and there is no problem!"

"Haha, if you have this, you won't be afraid of them playing tricks!" The outsiders laughed uncomfortably: "The big deal is to sue the province, and the government must accept the contract made by the government itself! Otherwise, how can we win the trust of the people?"

Member Yang seemed to think of something, turned to the last page of the contract, read one of the clauses carefully, and immediately panicked: "It's broken..."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at the clause, and saw that it read:

'The performance of the above clauses should be based on the premise of not violating the laws of the country, public order and good customs.If there is a violation of national laws, customs and good customs occurs or may occur.Both parties have the right to waive or postpone the performance of the terms. "

"What does this mean?" Many people couldn't understand.

"That is to say, in these two cases, they have the right to waive or postpone the performance of the contract..." Li Xiucai explained in a low voice.

"Can they use this one this time?" All the members asked with wide eyes.

"It is an unwritten law in the two Zhejiang provinces that the Canyue government will suspend levy and suspend litigation. People are forbidden to go out and concentrate on raising silkworms, which can be regarded as public order and good customs." Li Xiucai sighed: "It can be used."

"Can't they justifiably procrastinate?" The misfortune of hope that had just been ignited outside the members was extinguished by a bubble of urine.

"What's even more frightening is," Li Xiucai said with a dark face, "after the silkworms are raised, it's time to collect the summer tax; after the summer tax is collected, it's time to make up the yellow book; The autumn tax is over, and after the autumn tax is collected, the disaster victims should go home...the government can always have a reason to delay it!"

"This..." The hearts of the members were trembling, and they whispered: "From March to October, the government does not recruit peasants. But that is for the people of this county. The peasants who open the fields this time are from other counties. The victims who came here have no land to produce or work in this county, so they can’t be confiscated for no reason, right?”

"If you want to start work, you can't just have civilian husbands, but you have to have people from the government to organize and supervise the work!" Li Xiucai said with a bitter face: "Wei Zhixian can definitely say that the yamen is busy collecting summer taxes, busy compiling yellow books, busy With the collection of autumn taxes, there is no manpower to organize the development of the fields...it can still be postponed."
