Chapter 1253 Sure enough, there is no good thing among scholars
“Boom!”
Hu Laosan just relaxed and was hit hard on the head by someone. He glared and was about to get angry. He looked up and found that the person who hit him was It was the young master, and he was immediately frightened, and he hurriedly apologized and laughed.
"Hu Laosan, you are itchy, aren't you?! How did you choose the fat sheep?! Have you forgotten the rules?!"
The corners of the young master's lips curled up coldly, and he smiled. Roubu looked at Hu Laosan and said quietly.
"Young master, I'm really unjust. I know all the rules in our village by heart, so how can I dare to violate them? I chose him as a fat sheep in accordance with the rules." Hu Laosan couldn't help but said with aggrieved face after hearing this.
"Why do you follow the rules!? Jingnan Xiaozhi County has a good reputation. If you don't say anything else, just how many people have been saved in this flood refuge area, you choose him as a fat sheep?! Are you blind or are you? Got kicked in the head by a donkey?"
The young master looked at Hu Laosan with cold eyes. After hiding his smile, his cold eyes made people feel stressed.
"Shaodongjia, what you are talking about is the old man's calendar. Listen, how many people in the flood refuge area are scolding him now, and the locals are the ones scolding him the most." Hu Laosan shook his head. He explained with a bitter look on his face.
"Hmph, fighting for rice's kindness, raising rice's hatred, eating two meals a day for free, every meal of steamed rice porridge, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? Holding the bowl to eat, putting down the bowl to scold the mother, it is really a group of people who repay kindness with enmity. Wolf.”
The young master spat disdainfully, looking down on all the victims in the flood refuge area who repaid their kindness with their revenge.
"Shaodong, do you know Xiaozhi County?! Why do you always speak for him?" Hu Laosan asked weakly.
"Fart! How could I, a noble aunt, know the magistrate of Lao Shizi County? Hu Laosan, if you talk nonsense again, be careful that my aunt will cut your tongue!" The young master gave Hu Laosan a cold look. , threatened.
"Yes, yes, you are talking nonsense. How could the Shaodong family know that Xiaozhi County? Shaodong family, people in the flood refuge area have been scolding Xiaozhixian these past two days. They always protected Xiaozhixian before. The locals scolded him even more fiercely." Hu Laosan immediately shrank his neck and defended himself.
“Are you talking about the rumor that Xiaozhi County has set the price of grain in Jingnan at 2,500 yuan per stone?! It is false at first sight. Even the evil grain dealers outside can only raise the price to 2,500 yuan per stone. How could Xiaozhi County take the initiative to raise the price of food so much? I don’t know why so many people believe it.”
The young master rolled her eyes disdainfully. She didn't believe it after hearing the news two days ago.
"It's true, this is true for Shaodong's family. When I visited the county town, I saw two passers-by looking at a notice and scolding Zhu Pingan. I begged them to read the notice to me. The content roughly means that since the date of posting of the notice , the price of grain in Jingnan is 2,500 yuan per stone. This notice is posted all over the city. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the county to confirm it. If I lie, the Shaodong family will take my head.”
Hu Laosan swore and said.
“You mean you’ve even posted the notice?!” The young master’s face changed immediately after hearing this. He stared at Hu Laosan with a pair of cold eyes and asked word by word, There was a chill all over his body.
“Of course, they are posted all over the city. I asked more than one person to help me read the notices, and they all have the same content!”
Hu Laosan nodded vigorously. Because he was not lying, he was not lying at all when he looked at the young host's family.
“One of the two passers-by has a relative who is a grain merchant. His relative told him that all the grain merchants in the county sent thank-you gifts to the small magistrate. According to the size of the grain merchants, the small ones gave gifts. 800 taels of silver, a gift of 1,500 taels for the lucky ones, and a gift of 2,500 taels for the big ones. The Xiaozhi County accepted all of them, and there were many outside grain merchants in the past two days. It's smell The fishy smell swarmed into Jingnan County. Every time a foreign grain merchant came, Xiaozhi County sent people to collect gifts. It is said that in the past few days, Xiaozhi County collected nearly 100,000 taels of silver. Now you know, why Why did Xiaozhi County raise the price of food so high? Just to collect dirty money!"
Hu Laosan said with certainty, when he talked about the last 100,000 taels of silver, his mouth was watering. .
“One hundred thousand taels?! So much?! My dear mother, so much money is piled up, it’s like a small mountain!”
“One hundred thousand taels, let alone raising a cub Yes, even those who raise cubs are very popular and drink spicy food.”
Hearing this, all the bandits were drooling, and they were as jealous as wolves who had discovered their prey.
While all the bandits were salivating, the young master stood up with a murderous look and walked out without saying a word.
"Ruonan, where are you going?!" asked his old club.
"I'm going to take a look at the notice to see if it's true." Shaodongjia said without looking back.
"Young master, I know the way, I will take you there." Hu Laosan volunteered.
"Hurry up and leave!" The young master glared at him.
"Let's go, let's go. Brothers, wait for us to come back. We can kill the sheep for the New Year." Hu Laosan nodded and hurriedly trotted to keep up, patting his chest and facing the mountains as he ran. said the thief.
The internal management of the flood refuge area is strict, but access is not restricted. Of course, no disaster victim will be willing to leave.
Hu Laosan led Shaodong's family out of the flood refuge area and walked all the way to Jingnan County. It didn't take long before they entered Jingnan County.
"Shaodong's house, there is a high-speed rail over there." As soon as they entered Jingnan County, Hu Laosan pointed to the place not far ahead and said.
Sure enough, when I walked over, I saw a notice. The notice was in a mess, and it was all spurned by the angry people.
"My young master, I'll find someone to read to us"
Hu Laosan said diligently, but stopped mid-sentence, and remembered with embarrassment that his young master's family was literate.
The Shaodong family ignored the embarrassed Hu Laosan and walked to the notice on his own, looking at it expressionlessly.
The moment he read the notice, the Shaodong family felt a chill all over their bodies. The more they looked at it, the colder it became. In the end, the whole person felt as if they had walked out of Jiuyou, and the surrounding temperature dropped a lot.
"What's going on? It's so cold." Hu Laosan suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but fold his arms.
"Damn it! Sure enough, there is no good scholar!" The young master cursed through gritted teeth.
“It seems to be getting colder.”
Hu Laosan hugged his arms tighter.
“Look, another foreign grain merchant has opened.”
At this moment, a burst of noise came. Following the sound, Shaodongjia and Hu Laosan saw a grain store not far away opened, and firecrackers were set off. The shopkeeper held his fists and saluted around, like a lucky cat. , very festive.
The young master and Hu Laosan were watching the excitement. Only half a tea time later, they saw two guards coming over.
"Shopkeeper, congratulations on getting rich. The county magistrate asked us to ask the shopkeeper. Now that Jingnan is suffering from serious floods, the victims are displaced and are crying for food. Is the shopkeeper willing to donate money to the victims of Jingnan?!"
The two guards held fists in their hands in congratulations, then took out a piece of rice paper familiarly and asked the shopkeeper if he was willing to donate.
“I am willing, I am willing, of course I am willing. I also ask the two gentlemen to take care of the county.”
The new shopkeeper knew nothing about this. He had already told him about it when his brothers told him about the business opportunity. So when he heard the officer's question, he responded with a smile and took out a stack of morning breakfast from his sleeve. He handed the prepared banknote to the clerk and signed his name on the rice paper called Donation Agreement.
The two guards carefully put away the rice paper, held their fists in their hands and congratulated a few more words, then turned and left.
The two of them are so skilled at business! It seems that they have done this kind of thing not once or twice.
"What a bullshit donation, and it all goes into the pocket of the dog official! The dog official who kills thousands of people, cleverly uses his name, and blatantly asks for bribes!"
Passers nearby were scolding.
Damn it!
The Shaodong family sees all this clearly! The whole body was so cold that Hu Laosan beside him was almost frozen. (End of this chapter)
