Dressed as a peasant girl, she pampered the powerful villain

Chapter 49: The Ninth Son of 'Guotonghou'
When Wang Shuyan was shooting at the crowd, she noticed a man with a guilty conscience and a stern look in his eyes. Sure enough, someone was following her.

She didn't understand why she was being followed when it was her first time in Wuli Town.

Without knowing the reason, she didn't want to alert the snake, so she said to Shen Que: "Maybe I'm too good-looking, and I always feel like someone is peeking at me."

Shen Que: "..." When he heard her say this, his eyes instinctively took a deep look at the red spots on her face. He, who was eloquent, suddenly stopped answering.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Wang Shuyan raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Shen Xiucai seems to have some objections to my words."

Of course, he had opinions. Shen Que changed the subject with a "just be happy with it" attitude on his face: "We're almost there." Then he walked straight towards the grain store, but he was worried in his heart: It would really put a dent in his face, although The red spots on her face didn't seem scary after a few more glances, but they were still far from 'too pretty', which was really hard for her to express.

Wang Shuyan glanced at Shen Xiucai's back and felt that this person was really uninteresting. He reached out and swept the broken hair in front of his forehead, with a "I am the most beautiful" look on his face and he raised his eyebrows to follow.

Tongzhou County has six towns, namely 'Wuli Town', 'Shili Town', 'Dong Town', 'Xi Town', 'South Town' and 'North Town'. Six towns and ten villages form one Tongzhou County.

The things that can be purchased in each town are different, and the prices are also different. Among them, the "East Town" and "West Town" are the most expensive, and they are also the places where the richest and most powerful people gather.

Although Wuli Town is not big, it is close to Fangzikou Village and Chenjia Village, and you can buy all your daily needs. However, the folk customs in 'Wuli Town' and 'Shili Town' are fierce, and you will still buy it if you don't buy it even if you pay back the price. The rule is to get beaten up, and for this reason, these two towns have the most troubles.

Fangzikou Village is located in a remote area and is naturally further away from villages and towns. Today they came to the nearest town, Wuli Town.

After Shen Que introduced these precautions, he reminded her again and again: "Sister Yan, you must see clearly and really want to buy before asking for the price. When buying something here, you cannot bargain casually. If you don't buy after paying the price, you will offend the store."

Wang Shuyan did not expect that the merchants in 'Wuli Town' were so tough and powerful. Although he frowned when he heard this, he still had to follow the local customs and abide by the rules. He nodded in agreement: "I know, but the government doesn't care about the habits of the merchants in the town. ?"

Shen Que shook his head and sighed: "Everyone has always abided by the rules. As long as the trouble is not excessive, the government will not get involved."

Wang Shuyan asked back: "What is too much? What counts if it involves killing someone?"

Shen Que sighed: "Sometimes the loss of life is not counted. Let's not mention it. This trend has been around for a long time and cannot be changed overnight. In the past ten years, the Tian family has sent several appointed county magistrates to govern them. It didn’t work, and in the end I was just dawdling around and was too lazy to straighten things out. I hope our newly appointed chapter supervisor will make new achievements.”

When Wang Shuyan saw him mentioning Zhang Jiulin, he asked insinuatingly, "How much does Shen Xiucai know about this Governor Zhang?"

Shen Que thought for a while and said: "He is the ninth son of the 'Guotonghou'. The 'Guotonghou' is a general who has made great contributions to the Wei State. He is loyal and courageous. Now he is old and returning to his hometown in Tongzhou County. It's funny to say that all five of his relegated sons and three sons-in-law died heroically on the battlefield. In the end, all the military achievements and honors were taken advantage of by the concubine born in the concubine. However, some people say that the "Guotong Hou" killed too many people in his life. , only then can he subjugate his wife and subjugate his children. It is not yet known whether the Ninth Young Master can withstand this 'military glory'."

Wang Shuyan listened carefully and saw that there was basically no deviation from what he knew, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just felt something was strange but couldn't explain it.In her impression, about ten years later, General Zhang "Guotong Hou" died miserably after the palace uprising. At that time, he was in his 70s and still led his own soldiers to fight against the rebellious King Rong soldiers for the people of "Tongzhou County". , and finally died from being pierced by thousands of arrows.

The captured "Tongzhou County" turned into a city of fire overnight, with corpses strewn across the fields, and turned into a human hell that burned for nearly a month.

She couldn't help but think that if the old emperor hadn't been too paranoid and forced him to "return to his hometown in fine clothes", he probably wouldn't have been taken advantage of by the eunuch and treacherous minister San Lang. However, whether a country's destiny can be long-term and stable is indeed inseparable from the monarch. Whatever you think and do, doubt is a disease and it needs to be cured!
The two of them entered the grain shop that Shen Que often visited. This grain shop was called "Zhouji Grain Shop". The small shop was filled with one-meter-high grain jars. Each grain jar contained a kind of grain, just rice. There are several types, including broken rice, rice, glutinous rice, and yellow rice (millet); miscellaneous grain beans include soybeans, black beans, mung beans, red beans, barley, wheat, millet, chestnuts, millet, and sorghum. Each grain vat has a The price, the quality, and the dazzling variety made her dazzled.

Wang Shuyan's eyes lit up as soon as she entered the shop. The variety was really good, and the price was indeed one to three cents cheaper than the oil and grain shop in Fangzikou Village. It would definitely be more cost-effective if she purchased in large quantities.

Shen Que said to her: "God, the water has dropped enough in the past two years, and the harvests in various places are good. Starting from last year, grains from the north and south began to flow between each other. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever grain you want."

After hearing this, Wang Shuyan nodded with satisfaction: "It's indeed good."

The emperor of the Wei Kingdom was once a farmer. After conquering the country, he didn't value anything but food. He worked hard for ten years to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

The shopkeeper was already busy calculating accounts and collecting money. After seeing off the customers in front of him, the waiter quickly greeted them: "What do you two need?"

But Wang Shuyan walked towards the shopkeeper and asked directly: "Shopkeeper, if I want [-] kilograms of rice, what is your maximum discount?"

Shen Que, who was about to ask the waiter to weigh ten kilograms of yellow rice, shook his hands when he heard this and almost spilled the rice. He asked in confusion: "Why did you buy so much?"

Not to mention Shen Que, the shopkeeper thought he heard wrongly. After a moment of confusion, he confirmed and asked, "How much does the girl want?"

Wang Shuyan stretched out his hand: "Five hundred kilograms, but there is a condition. You must help deliver it to my home. If you can't deliver it, I won't take it."

Just kidding, if five hundred kilograms of rice were placed in Uncle Chun's open-air oxcart, it would be ruined if it rained.

This request is not excessive. Normally, the inn will deliver more rice to your door. The shopkeeper asked: "Then what kind of rice do you want?"

Wang Shuyan pointed to the yellow rice, rice and glutinous rice: "Fifty catties of yellow rice, 350 catties of rice, and fifty catties of glutinous rice."

Now there are ten strong men building the house in the family plus the four official servants who come here every day. She eats at least six bowls a day, which is equivalent to three men. Plus Zhang and her three children, it is equivalent to two people. The amount of rice for one man adds up to the amount of fifteen men. Based on a rough output of ten kilograms per day, these 350 kilograms of rice are enough for 35 days. It will definitely be enough to eat until the house is built.
