Chapter 260

After these two rounds were sold out, the remaining lettuce Qi Ke kept only part of it for barbecue and hot pot, and sold the rest to the villagers waiting on the side, still buying one catty and getting one or two free, and the price was more expensive than cabbage. I can't help but feel their enthusiasm when they buy it.

Then, the village women who grew lettuce went to check out with Qi Ke, and when they counted their money one by one, the whole morning passed.

The merchants brought six hundred catties of fresh lettuce into the county seat, and not long after they went home, customers who wanted to buy vegetables came to the door. Last time, the small cabbage was sold for one tael per catty. This lettuce with a slightly longer growth period Naturally, there is a price increase, but the wealthy households who are willing to come to buy vegetables are those who are not short of money. No matter how expensive they are, they will still divide up the hundreds of catties of lettuce before dark.

In the yamen, the county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief clerk were also eating the lettuce sent by Bai Qing, and closed the door to discuss how to assist Bo Qian to achieve his goal.

"Ms. Shen is stupid, what are the whole family thinking, and now they still have to stiffen their necks and fight the Bai family army to the death."

"Coastal villages are full of military household villages. Behind the village is the Nine Branches Mountain Range, which is a natural boundary. The Shen family is holding on to the title deed and won't let it go. What do they want to do? Use the cover of the mountains to spy on the military situation? This is enough to forcibly revoke their title deed. Take back the forest."

"I can't let go of the local snake's face. I thought the Bai family army was afraid of them. The one who sits in this county is Bai Qing. He was a 13-year-old who chopped off the enemy's head for the first time on the battlefield. This age is Mr. Qian? What kind of temper can he have? If he exhausted his patience and forcibly confiscated the forest, wouldn’t Shen be even more ashamed? Do you still want to write a note to sue?"

"Mr. Chen has been a local snake for many years, but recently she has been doing stupid things. She has mountains and forests in her hands and wants to occupy people's villages. If she is too greedy and stretches her hands too far, accidents will happen."

"That's good too. The squires are too powerful, and our magistrates will also have a headache. It is necessary to dampen their momentum."

"makes sense."

"Voiding the title deed and forcibly withdrawing it is the last resort of the Bai family army. It is a bad idea. The Bai family army is an army of the imperial court, not a warlord who makes trouble. I guess Bai Qing probably understands that there will be endless troubles if he does this, even if he gets His Majesty's understanding at the beginning. But after a while, it will become a thorn in His Majesty's heart, but it's not in line with his temperament to endure it all the time. Sooner or later, a conflict will break out between the two sides. Which side will our magistrate stand in the middle?"

"Let's stand in the Bai family army. According to their style, they generally don't dictate local affairs. Although civil servants and military generals don't like each other, they are doing things for the court anyway. The gentry is a hidden danger. Don't rely on the convenience of local snakes. We’re not bad, don’t we think less of magistrates who have been brought down by squires with all-hands and eyes?”

"Okay, being an official in the same dynasty is also a kind of fate. We are all officials appointed by the court. Of course we have to stand together, and we also eat so many vegetables from others, so we should help."

As an official, sometimes there will be some unspoken tacit understanding in my heart. Bai Qing delivered the food twice, so it can be seen that he will continue to deliver food in the future, until the winter is over, eating so many fresh vegetables from others, I can't eat it without admitting it, my mouth Take it for granted.

"Then how do we do it?"

"Look through the old files first to see if the mountain forest has changed hands before. It's good. Why did Shen buy such a long and distant mountain? At the foot of the mountain is Junhu Village. The villagers go to the mountain every day to collect firewood. Standing on the mountain can Seeing the village clearly, knowingly committing a taboo act..."

Needless to say, the meaning was already understood. The three people at the same table looked at each other and nodded understandingly.
