Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 16
With Du Ruhui helping to speak, Li Shimin couldn't say anything else.

So after a short rest, the three of them went downstairs, Fang Yuan even sent them out to take a carriage.

In the following days, Fang Yuan only met with the two of them twice, other times he had things to deal with.

He is the county magistrate, and he has a lot of things to do, but he put grain bidding at the top of the list before, so he felt very idle.

Thirteen days passed.

No. On the morning of the 13th day, Fang Yuan was on duty at the yamen.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui walked in quickly and told Fang Yuan that the money has been delivered.

"The money is here?!"

Fang Yuan didn't say anything yet.

Both the county magistrate and the chief secretary who were in the same room got up excitedly.

The eyes of the two were wide open, and the blood soared to the highest point at this moment.

One thousand seventy-one stones, a total of 100 million stones, a total of 170 million guan!
170 million, such an astronomical figure, the two couldn't restrain their excitement.

"Where is the money now?"

Fang Yuan just stood up and said calmly.

"at the door."

Li Shimin made a gesture of please.

"Yao Kaicheng, you are responsible for notifying the villages and asking them to bring people to collect the money."

"Zhang San, take the account book, record the food money, and register the amount of money received by each village."

Fang Yuan was not in a hurry to look at the money.

Instead, he calmly ordered the county magistrate and the master to handle the matter.

When it was over, he invited Li Shimin and the two of them to walk towards the door.

Du Ruhui followed behind, looking at Fang Yuan's back and nodded secretly.

Calm and calm, he didn't lose his mind in the face of huge amounts of money, and he became more and more satisfied in his heart.

With Fang Yuan's order, the county magistrate and the chief secretary have to go to work first even if they want to see the astronomical figures.

Soon, the three of Fang Yuan walked out of the yamen.

At this time, more than 100 carriages were parked at the gate of the Yamen.

A long line stretched from the yamen to the direction of the city gate.

There were many convoys in and out of Wuling County, but this was the first time I saw such a long convoy, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Boss Li, let them unload the car."

"After the truck is empty, I will ask someone to take them to load the food."

Fang Yuan said slightly excitedly.

Although it's not all my own money, there's no need to get excited.

But looking at such a long money transport team, it is inevitable to be excited.

"Will it be too noticeable to unload here?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

Unloading cars on the street, in case of any accident, people may flock to grab money.

"It's okay."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said calmly.

Li Shimin stopped talking and took a look at Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui immediately understood, and ordered the on-site team to arrange personnel to unload the truck.

"Unload the car!"

The grooms and guards in charge of transporting the carts unloaded the carts one after another.

The unloading went smoothly at the beginning, and the boxes containing money were safely placed on the ground.

But when I got to the back, I started to feel powerless, and I lost my grip when lifting the box, and a box fell to the ground.

With a bang, the box opened, and circles of copper coins rolled out of the box, appearing in front of everyone.

The scene was silent, and after a while there was an uproar.

"Wow!"

"So much money?!"

"Wouldn't this long line be all money?!"

People passing by couldn't help but stop.

There were people farther away, and they rushed over after hearing the voice.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the gate of the yamen was full of people, densely packed and frightening.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's face sank immediately. What he was worried about was about to happen.

The money is not exposed, and if so many people reveal their wealth, there may be chaos and money grabbing.

Facing more and more people pouring in, Li Shimin was already prepared to retreat into the yamen if something went wrong.

Anyway, the money has been delivered by itself, and it is no longer my problem whether it is lost or other accidents occur during the period.

"What are you looking at here?"

"For each convoy, come three strong people to help unload the truck!"

Fang Yuan took a step forward and shouted loudly.

The common people who were slowly squeezing in stopped, and smiled apologetically at Fang Yuan.

Then, some seemingly tall young people squeezed out from the crowd and walked towards the convoy to help unload the truck.

"This"

Li Shimin was stunned.

In a word, it stopped thousands of people.

And obediently someone stood up to help unload the car, really help unload the car!
This is money. There are hundreds of copper coins in each box, and there are hundreds of boxes!
"My lord, is this the money you made from selling grain?"

In the crowd, someone shouted.

The news of grain bidding has spread throughout Wuling County.

It was agreed that the money delivery would arrive within fifteen days, and the people were all looking forward to it.

It is now No. 13 days, and it is reasonable for the money to arrive two days in advance.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan answered calmly.

The people at the scene became more excited.

Rubbing his hands together, his eyes were full of money.

Because, that is their money, the money they sell grain.

The food that Fang Yuan bid for was not from the government, but from the villages in Wuling County.

soon.

Representatives from various villages that Yao Kaicheng sent to notify began to appear.

Like gangs, there is a handful in the east, another in the west, and another in the south.

There were about a dozen or 20 people in each group, and they were very noisy. Those who didn't know it thought they were ganging up to fight.

At this time, Yao Kaicheng walked out again.

"Every village is lined up in a line, and there must be no noise or crowding."

"Which village is disobedient, that village will save the money until the end."

Yao Kaicheng shouted several times in a row, and finally notified the representatives of each village.

There were no government servants at the scene, and he sent them out to notify the village representatives.

Not long after, although the scene was noisy, there were lines of lines, and the street was full of eight carriages paralleling each other.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui watched and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The scene was like a thousand troops, and the order was so neat that they were surprised.

"Master Zhang, it's your turn."

After Yao Kaicheng finished shouting, he came back dry-mouthed.

Zhang San expressed his gratitude and asked Tang Shi to bring a stool and table.

"Listen up, let me listen to everything."

"If you click on the name, go forward to determine how much money your village should receive, and then carry it away. You can't stay in place. There are other villages coming from behind, so leave a place for other villages to line up."

"Also, a warm reminder, when you go back, take the main road. If the money is robbed, the government will ignore it."

Zhang San shouted.

Regardless of whether the village representatives who lined up heard clearly, he began to roll their names.

Following Zhang San's roll call, a village representative stepped forward to make sure, and after counting the number, he grinned grinningly and left with the money belonging to his own village.

"Fang Xianzun's move really makes me admire!"

Li Shimin exclaimed.

He watched the whole time, expecting chaos to ensue.

But unexpectedly, Fang Yuan's reputation in Wuling County is so high.

Moreover, the unloading of the truck and the distribution of money on the spot ensured the fairness and justice in the process.

Du Ruhui on the side also nodded in agreement, thinking that Fang Yuan far surpassed him in some aspects.

"Boss Li is absurd."

"The car is unloaded, let them follow Yao Kaicheng to load the car."

"However, there is no way for the convoy to load all the food. If necessary, find a convoy from Wuling County to send it back."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, and said calmly.

"Right on my mind."

Li Shimin nodded.

He also had this idea.

The convoy that brought the money must not be able to fully load the food.

At that time, rent some convoys from Wuling County and ask them to help transport them back to Chang'an City.

Fang Yuan nodded, motioning for Yao Kaicheng to take the team away.

Next, Fang Yuan and Li Shimin watched the meeting at the gate of the county government office and stopped watching.

Although there were no yamen servants guarding the scene, the order was still very orderly and there was no need to accompany them all the time.

After half a day, the money was finally distributed to each village, and the rest was the money for the harvesters and the officials represented by Fang Yuan.

Yes, with Fang Yuan as the representative, there is a lot of money in the yamen from the county magistrate to the Baiyong hall, of which Fang Yuan naturally occupies the majority.

In the afternoon, after unitary hour, Yao Kaicheng came back and said that all the food had been loaded into the truck.

"It's getting late, Boss Li, Steward Du, why don't you rest for one night and go back tomorrow?"

Fang Yuan asked to stay.

It is not safe to drive at night, and it is easy to attract the attention of bandits.

"No, I've been away for so long, I need to go back soon."

Li Shimin shook his head and said.

It has been nearly a month since he left, and the court may have already messed up.

Although there is a prince supervising the country, he is still too young to restrain those old guys.

In addition, there is no food in Chang'an City, and the people are hungry every day, so they can't stay any longer.

Go back, the time for my own people to show their holiness will finally come!

"That's fine, the official will not stay."

"Zhang San, let me know. Tonight, I will invite you to have a dinner at the Yamen's Shangyuluoyanlou at public expense."

Fang Yuan nodded, no longer wanting to stay.

But if you don't stay or stay, you still have to celebrate.

When Li Shimin heard this, he pursed his lips immediately, and his desire to go back and show off before others faded a lot.
