Chapter 60 060: Stupid Thief

Time goes back to the night before.

Ma Xing has been out of business for eight or nine days.The guys who worked all day and lived all day suddenly lost their connections. In the season of collective food shortage, there are many crooked ways.

"Brother Dashan, is there no business today?" Xiaopingzi ran to the head of the horse shop trembling and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, the surrounding villages are still submerged in water, and the shopkeeper dare not pick up the work! In the city, who needs a lot of strength to work!" Brother Dashan was not happy, no one came to the door, and he couldn't get any money.

Xiaopingzi's eyes lit up, "Brother Dashan, how about we sell some grain?"

"Do you know where there is food?"

"Before the flood came, I helped a teahouse move food, more than 2 catties. It's only been the first ten days, how much can they eat?" Xiaopingzi was careful at the time.

"You're right!" Brother Dashan became interested. "But where will they sell it to us?"

"They're all orphans and widowed mothers. They're all a family. There's one man in all. We pay a little more than the grain store." Xiao Pingzi described the situation of Cui's family clearly in a few words.

"Okay, you go find some capable people and do it!"

It's best to do sneaky things at night, but now the flood outside is raging, and the water in Fucheng has receded, but in other places, they didn't get permission.So I made an appointment to work during the day.

A total of five people came to the horse shop, and they all harnessed two horses to a cart. Each cart weighed three to four thousand kilograms, and there was no problem at all.

……

When Cai Xiaolan sent Wang Ji to Fucheng, she was afraid that the only Cui Lu family at home would be noticed by thieves, so she specially asked the king's servant to stay.

Now it is dry everywhere, and people can move around freely, unlike before, there are only risks from nature.

Wang Pu and Cui Boyan helped the people in Liujiazhuang complete the work of loading six thousand catties of grain, and Cui Boyan left with them.

There are fewer people left at home.

But the work of burning black bricks stopped.The water did not overflow the floor of Tianfu Jucai Residence, and there was no place for the black bricks to function.

One of Cui Lushi and Xu Yinlian tidied up the fish pond dug by Cai Xiaolan, and the other tidied up the vegetable garden. If they moved quickly, they would still have time to plant radishes, winter amaranth and the like.In this way, you can also eat some vegetables in winter.

"Sister Cui, look at that group of people!" Xu Yinlian inadvertently looked up at the road, and saw a group of five people galloping in a two-horse cart.

"The flood is cleared, what are these people doing?" Cui Lushi stopped the sickle in his hand, and took a second look at the road.Double-horse carts can only be seen in large caravans.

But he didn't expect the convoy on the road and turned directly into his own lane.

"Yinlian, go home!"

The speed of the two was a step slower than that of the convoy. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard people from the convoy roaring in the yard.

"Where is the store?"

"Bring some tea, our brothers are thirsty!"

"Where did the person die? Come out and entertain people."

There are even more insulting foul words, which make people catch their heads as soon as they hear it, so it is inconvenient to record.The servant Wang, who was sleeping in the lobby, was afraid that he was visiting for business, so he suppressed his discomfort and did not speak.

"Guests, please drink some tea so we can talk, but don't say what you just said. It's not like what a decent person would say." Cui Lu followed the principle of treating guests as guests and did not drive them away.

But Xu Yinlian behind her saw two familiar faces in the crowd, as if she had seen them somewhere.I couldn't help but be more careful.

Taking advantage of the tea time, she purposely asked them about their backgrounds.

"Hmph, women don't ask questions!" Da Shan snorted coldly.

People sitting in the lobby always look at the wall next to them.This is too attractive.A wall high of grain.

"Is anyone there? Come." The five of them drank the barley tea, wiped away the tea stains around their mouths, and started to attack.

"What's the matter?" Cui Lushi rushed over, she still didn't understand that the visitor was not kind.

"Your family has so much grain, did you know that the governor has issued an order a long time ago, prohibiting private trading of grain, prohibiting the hoarding of large quantities of grain, and prohibiting the sale of grain at high prices?" Dashan said three prohibitions in a row.

It's a pity that Cui Shi is a person who has seen the big world, how can he be scared by a few words.Back then, when the current sage was still the King of Qin, the Literature Museum sent three great Confucian scholars to act as lobbyists, but none of the Cui couples were persuaded.

"What are the positions of the guest officials in the government office?" Cui Lushi asked back.

Hearing the rising tone in the room, Xu Yinlian and the king's servants rushed over.Even two little girls ran over, one carrying a hoe and the other carrying a shovel.

Five V five, in terms of numbers, the Cui family doesn't suffer at all.

"You guys are stubborn, it's because you didn't see the two heads hanging in the city. Violating the order is killing without mercy!" Seeing that they hadn't been frightened, Da Shan couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

"May I ask how many people are from the yamen?" Cui Lushi still said the same thing.

"Damn it, we bought your pile of grain today. Today's grain price is eleven cents a bucket, and we bought it all!" Da Shan bared his canine teeth.

"You are buying and selling by force!" Wang Pu suddenly understood.

"For you profiteers who hoard goods, I am killing the rich and giving to the poor." As soon as Dashan said the word "kill", the man who followed the car from Ma Xing immediately pulled out the knife hidden in his sleeve.

"If you want to grab food, you will grab it. Why do you say so much?" Wang Pu shouted, pulling the rest of the Cui family to get out of the way, "Girls, please!"

Cui Lu from behind glanced at Wang Pu. At this moment, she admitted that Wang Pu was indeed better than Wang Ji in speaking yin and yang.

"If you want food, you can move it. But if you want to kill people, it depends on whether you have the guts." Cui Lushi was upright.

"Don't talk about robbing, we are buying. This one hundred yuan is a deposit, and the remaining balance will be settled in ten days." Dashan was also overwhelmed by Cui Lu's momentum for a moment.

"Brothers, move!"

……

After Cai Xiaolan learned about the situation at the grain bank, she couldn't help but give Jing Guangli an idea, "If I guess right, the governor will soon send someone to Chuzhou Prefecture to buy grain. If the Shengshi grain bank has this If you have the ability, you can participate.”

"Ah? Are you sure?" Jing Guangli was shocked. If it was true, the benefits would be astonishing.

"However, I suggest you to convince your father not to earn too much money from common people." Cai Xiaolan's words stopped short.According to her understanding of Li Yunguang, there is no difference between digging money from the common people and directly digging money from him.

"thank you so much!"

"Thank you in advance, I'm here to ask for your help."

Cai Xiaolan first borrowed a man and a cart, and then borrowed a warehouse at the gate of the city.In order to express his gratitude, Jing Guangli also lent his family's horse.

Although there are only three horses, it is better than nothing.

In order to catch up with the porridge in the afternoon, Cai Xiaolan did not stop all the way, and followed the three carriages first.Unexpectedly, when he was almost at the door of the house, he found a group of people in the house carrying food.

"The people from Liujiazhuang came too late!"

Cai Xiaolan thought they were from Liujiazhuang.

 Counting it, it has been several days since there was no master.Readers and friends, I would like to ask you to have some peace and quiet with your relatives and friends, okay?

  Thank you in advance.Friends who voted today will be thanked in the next chapter.
