Chapter 26 A month later

A month later, in Wanping County Government Office.

In the early morning, a burly figure ran in from the gate in a panic.

"The county, the county, something is wrong!"

While running, shouting, everyone in the entire county can hear it!

After entering Guo An's public house, the voice quieted down.

"Boss Yu, what happened?"

In the public room, Guo An asked Yu Huowang who ran in.

Yu Huowang is the leader of the strong team in the Wanping County Yamen. He has more than 50 people under his command. He is responsible for guarding the yamen, warehouses, prisons and other places.

However, in Beiping Mansion, there are the guards of King Yan, as well as the army in Beiping Mansion, the servants of Beiping Mansion, and the servants of Wanping County's daily work is very easy.

Therefore, under Guo An's instruction, Yu Huowang, the leader of the strong team, often took some strong people to patrol the streets.

Its purpose is naturally those foreign merchants.

In this regard, Yu Huowang is naturally very positive.

Although he is the leader of the strong class, he is also a commoner in Wanping County. In this place with a strong sense of clan and region, many interests are colluded.

And those reclaimed fields outside Wanping County will also have his share.

Naturally, I hate those businessmen who want to take advantage of the opportunity!

"Xianzun, twenty large ships have just arrived at Haizi Wharf, and the ships are full of grain!

Even some strong men carrying them found some iron shovels and shovels from some large wooden boxes, at least tens of thousands of them! "

Yu Huowang said solemnly.

Guo An was overjoyed, "It's a great thing!"

"Great thing?"

Yu Huowang was taken aback. He had heard of Guo An's plans for those peddlers before, and he had always regarded those peddlers as tigers. No matter what they did, they would have bad intentions.

Now, when Guo An said this, his mind was a little bit overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Guo An smiled gently. This head of the strong team is the typical person in Guo An's mind with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

Their skills are formidable, but their brains, even Zhu Lao Si will shake his head when he sees them!
Guo An explained: "Whether those merchants brought food, iron shovels, shovels, etc., it is very likely that they are preparing to sell to the people of our Wanping County.

Now, the people in my Wanping County are short of these items because of the reclamation of wasteland. Isn't that a good thing? "

Yu Huowang thought about it very hard, and then said with a worried face: "But the county lord, these merchants are all cunning and cunning, and they will definitely sell them to the people of Wanping County at a high price!"

Guo An smiled lightly, "So what? Only when their family has grain, iron shovels, and shovels can they sell them at a high price.

And now, is there still His Royal Highness King Yan in Beiping Mansion.

If the prices of these merchants are too high, the people of Wanping County can borrow from His Royal Highness King Yan, and they don't have to buy them! "

Yu Huowang immediately opened his mouth, his face was full of excitement, "The county is wise and wise!"

Guo An said: "Okay, it's not suitable for you to flatter Shangguan, you go down and arrange it, and all the people in Wanping County will warmly welcome those merchants.

Then, call the six-room scribe again, I have something to tell you! "

Yu Huowang smiled awkwardly, saluted Guo An, and quickly retreated.

Soon, the household clerk Ning Deyou, the official clerk Feng Fuchun, and the workshop clerk all came in.

……

At the same time, at Haizi Wharf, the general water transport wharf in Beiping Prefecture, hundreds of strong men, under the instructions of a few stewards, laboriously carried down bags of grain from twenty large ships beside the wharf, and There are a lot of heavy boxes.

In a luxury restaurant on the side, a round rich businessman stood by the window, watching all this with a smile on his face.

Behind them stood three rich merchants who were also dressed in common clothes, and they were talking to the rich merchant in front of them with flattering expressions.

"In addition to the king, the people of Wanping County, after seeing that we have brought [-] shi of grain, and [-] pieces of iron and shovels, they almost jumped up for joy."

"Now, their homes are starting to lack grain, iron shovels, and shovels! As long as I stock up on these grains, after ten days, the grain tanks in their homes will bottom out, and the price of our grains will inevitably skyrocket!"

Wang Yuanwai, who was as tall as a ball, smiled slightly and said, "There is no rush to discuss this matter. Let's go and inquire first. How many acres of land have these people in Wanping County reclaimed now!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme, it's Wang Yuanwai's foresight!"

"It's only been two months. Even if the people in Wanping County don't sleep at night, they can reclaim a thousand hectares of land, which is considered good!"

"Hahaha, after this matter is over, I will definitely thank that little magistrate of Wanping County..."

……

Two days later.

In a house in Wanping County.

In addition to the king, there are three other wealthy businessmen.

However, at this moment, these people looked at the servant in front of them, their eyes widened, and their faces were full of disbelief. There were even beads of sweat on the foreheads of two wealthy businessmen.

"Have you checked it out? It's really [-] hectares?"

"Yes, how many people are there in Wanping County? How could they reclaim [-] hectares of land in just two months?"

"In this matter, it must be that the magistrate of Wanping County asked the people of Wanping County to exaggerate the amount of land they cultivated in order to borrow grain from King Yan!"

"That's certainly the case. When we left, the people in Wanping County were full of complaints, and they really were cursing the little county lord of Wanping County all day long.

It is so difficult to reclaim wasteland. How can the people of Wanping County reclaim so many fields in such a short period of time? "

Saying that, Wang Yuanwai's expression darkened, and he looked at the steward in front of him coldly.

"That's right, that's right, it must be that you, this bastard, is stealing and playing tricks, and didn't investigate properly!"

"Forgive me, villain, villain..." Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on the steward's forehead.

Now that the weather is so hot, in order to save effort, he did not go to investigate in person, but used the contacts he made before to find several village chiefs in Wanping County.

"Hmph, I'll give you another chance, if you cheat on me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wang Yuanwai said coldly.

"Yes, yes, thank you sir!"

The steward quickly responded with a grateful face, and ran out in a panic.

Seeing this, several people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled again on their faces.

They expended so much effort to transport so much grain from Jiangnan, isn't it just to earn money from the people in Wanping County, and even the fields?

If the people in Wanping County really reclaimed [-] hectares of land, they would lose everything!
