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

Chapter 60
Pei Yonghui blamed Fang Yuan for his failure and resentment.

He had learned not long ago that the top ten commercial firms brought by Fang Yuan were distributing monthly salaries today, and the people in the entire Liaozhou City were praising Fang Yuan.

This is not a good thing for the aristocratic family, it means that the aristocratic family's control over the people will become weak, and the people who originally relied on the aristocratic family to survive will favor Fang Yuan.

Therefore, the family in Liaozhou was invited by him to discuss matters in Pei's mansion.

"Everyone, this is my first heir to the Pei family, Pei Yonghui."

Pei Yinghua explained to the representatives of the family present.

It was not he who presided over the meeting today, but Pei Yonghui.

Fifteen aristocratic families including Xue Wenbo from the Xue family of Fenyin, Liu Yongshou from the Liu family from Xie County, three county magistrates from Liaozhou, Xie Wenyu from the former Sima, and Wang Zhicheng from the Wang family from Liaoshan came to the scene.

"I've seen Mr. Pei!"

Everyone at the scene saluted Pei Yonghui.

As the first heir of the direct line, there is a high probability that they will like to hear about the patriarch of the Pei clan in the future, so they can do this gift.

"I've seen you all, please sit down."

Pei Yonghui returned the gift generously.

Not too proud, not too humble.

Everyone looked at it in their hearts and nodded secretly at the impression of Pei Yonghui.

"Presumably you all already know that the firm represented by Fang Yuan will issue monthly salary today."

"You should already know the reaction of the common people. If things go on like this, it will be very detrimental to our family. I don't think this matter can just be left alone."

Pei Yonghui said in a deep voice.

On the night of the opening of the White Tiger Clubhouse, several big families unified their will and decided to eradicate Fang Yuan.

But that was just a meeting of the united front, and the specific method has not been implemented yet. Today is to discuss the specific method.

"As it should be!"

"Master Pei has a good method?"

Xie Wenyu said in a deep voice.

He represented the Xie family in the discussion.

As for Fang Yuan, he probably hated the audience the most.

Because of Fang Yuan, he lost the position of Sima, and the matter has not been resolved in the clan yet.

Therefore, he is the most active participant in the discussion of Fang Yuan, and he is bound to kick Fang Yuan out of Liaozhou.

"food!"

Pei Yonghui smiled mysteriously.

"Raise the price and lower the sale?"

Xie Wenyu frowned slightly, and asked uncertainly.

They used this method a few months ago, and as the price of food in Chang'an City increased by more than ten times, all the major families made a lot of money.

But now, the emperor Li Shimin has ordered that the price cannot be raised. It has only been a month since he slapped the emperor in the face, and the consequences may be serious.

"No, the emperor still has to give face."

"We don't raise prices, we just lower sales."

Pei Yonghui said with a smile.

The emperor's prestige is high because he transferred 100 million shi of grain to solve the famine, so he can't show his strength now.

But if they only reduce the sales volume, but it is not included in the emperor's ban, it is not a slap in the face of the emperor, and no one can say that they have any problems.

"Appreciate further details."

Xie Wenyu asked.

Everyone is also all ears.

Regarding Fang Yuan, they have the same interests.

"Now the people in Liaozhou have almost no food, and the food is in our hands."

"At the same time, the drought has caused very few cultivated fields in Liaozhou. There is a high probability that there will still be a shortage of food next year. Our food can be saved until next year and then sold at a high price."

"From today onwards, we will sell a small amount of grain every day until it is sold out. There will definitely be people who will not be able to buy it. They will definitely panic and cause trouble."

Pei Yonghui believed in himself.

If you don't increase the food price and reduce the sales volume, you won't lose face to the emperor, and you can use the common people to harass Fang Yuan, it's the best of both worlds.

Fang Yuan builds factories for the welfare of the people in Liaozhou, and the top ten factories pay wages one after another, but now they have to be disturbed by these people, it must be disgusting, right?
"Is it a bit of a sleight of hand?"

"We don't want to be suspended again."

Lin Yangbo, magistrate of Liaoshan County, frowned and said.

Not long ago, the people in the three counties made troubles, and they used food to make troubles.

At that time, the three of them were forcibly suspended by Fang Yuan, while Lu Wenhan and Xie Wenyu were dismissed.

Although they have resumed their official positions, if they are forcibly suspended again, their careers will also be affected.

"Although it's a bit of a repeat, it's not your fault this time."

"Just do what your county magistrate should do, and leave the rest to us."

"We don't have food to sell, it's not that we don't want to sell it, the emperor can't cure us even if he comes."

Pei Yonghui smiled confidently.

Food is the most important thing since ancient times.

No matter how many times the food design is used, it will not be difficult to use because of the repetition of the old tricks.

"What else do we need to do?"

The county magistrate of Liaoshan pondered for a moment, discussed with the other two county magistrates, and agreed with Pei Yonghui's idea.

As long as it is well controlled, the responsibility is not on them, but on Fang Yuan.

"Suppress those common people and let them accumulate more grievances."

Pei Yonghui smiled.

The greater the resentment, the more terrifying the outbreak will be.

The brewing half a month ago was not enough, Fang Yuan easily resolved it.

This time the next outbreak, Fang Yuan definitely has no way to resolve it, he is dead.

"it is good!"

The three county magistrates said yes.

Only when Fang Yuan left, they would have a chance to sit on the governor's seat.

Originally, the governor of Liaozhou should have been born from them, but the court repeatedly transferred people from other places, which made them very dissatisfied, so they repeatedly targeted the previous governors.

"Do you have any questions?"

Pei Yonghui looked at Xie Wenyu and the others and said.

"no problem."

Xie Wenyu said impatiently.

The others looked at each other and agreed.

Fangfu, laboratory.

"You, you, are you a woman?!"

Wang Yushi stared at Du Miaoyan with disbelief.

Her body trembled, her heart ached, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

The person I fell in love with turned out to be a woman, and she was more beautiful than myself.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Du Miaoyan said frankly.

She never thought of hiding from Wang Yushi.

It's just that she has been disguised as a woman because of necessity.

For Wang Yushi, she has always treated him as a younger sister.

"I hate you!"

Wang Shiyu couldn't hear it, so she roared and ran out.

She gave Du Miaoyan her heart, but found that the other party was a woman.

This feeling is no different from cheating, almost comparable to Pei Yonghui.

Du Miaoyan stretched out her hand to grab the opponent, but finally stayed in mid-air.

She sighed in her heart, even if she caught the other party, so what, she was not a man after all.

"Hey, don't you want to chase?"

Fang Yuan coughed dryly, suppressed a smile and said.

He had seen before that Wang Shiyu liked Du Miaoyan.

At that time, I didn't want to pay attention to it, and it had nothing to do with me anyway.

Unexpectedly, I was able to eat this melon to the end.

Hi, so funny, beauty heartbroken for more beautiful beauty.

"What can I say when I go?"

"Let her recover by herself, let's continue to fry tea."

Du Miaoyan shook her head and said.

"I'm done teaching, you should be proficient first, and then ask me if you don't know how to do it."

Seeing this, Fang Yuan didn't force himself.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, just let them both.

But I have finished teaching, so I won't accompany her any more and let her get acquainted by herself.

"Ok."

Du Miaoyan said.

Pick up Fang Yuan's customized shovel and practice frying tea on the iron pan.

Fang Yuan left, went back to the backyard, chatted with Hong Xu and Qing Yan about something.

When passing by the garden, I heard the sound of crying, and Wang Shiyu was crying by the pond.
