Chapter 51 Agreement
Are you kidding me? 4 taels of silver, that is to say, one tael of silver for one stone. This price is still the price of grain in Shen County three years ago.

In Shen County, the grain price of one tael of silver and one stone can be traced back to the summer three years ago. The grain price in the summer harvest did not meet expectations, and it rose to this price. After three years of severe drought, the grain price in Shen County today is undoubtedly To the point of sky-high prices.

But as soon as Xiao Mo opened his mouth, he set the price at one or two taels, which was indeed a bit ruthless. If Xiao Mo did this, if the gentry agreed, then not only would they not be able to make any money for every stone of grain, but the grain they had stored over the years and The cost of transporting food will also be lost!

After confirming that Xiao Mo was not joking, the squires all looked at each other, and then all looked at Li Yuan. There was no way, among these squires, Li Yuan had the hardest backer, so they all eagerly hoped that Li Yuan could come out and say something.

Of course Li Yuan has something to say: "My lord, if you do this, it will force us to our death!"

In a word, he told Xiao Mo what he wanted, and prevented Xiao Mo from taking the opportunity to lose his temper. Li Yuan deserves to be the leader among these gentry!
Xiao Mo really had no way to take the opportunity to lose his temper. He said this very well. The dead end in Li Yuan's mouth did not clearly say that they were going to fight against himself or the county government. It can also be understood as Li Yuan's softness. It is said that selling the grain at such a price will force them to go bankrupt.

Although it won't lead to bankruptcy, but if people think so, there is nothing you can do!
Xiao Mo became deep in thought!There is a good saying, negotiation is about momentum, Xiao Mo deeply understands this truth, so after Li Yuan finished speaking, Xiao Mo didn't rush to answer him, and after waiting for a while, Xiao Mo said: "It's not about this The official wants to embarrass you, because the food in your hands is only worth this price. Since you are not willing to sell it, then the official cannot know how to break the law and do this thing of forced buying and selling. Just let go of the proposal just now! "

proposal?Xiao Mo's face is indeed thick enough, just now he persecuted and threatened these squires like that, and even ordered people to close the gate of the county government office, and asked Yan Shiba to lead people to guard outside the public house, trying to force Li Yuan and the others to agree. The price of one tael of silver and one stone was clearly a threat, but it became a proposal in Xiao Mo's mouth.

But these squires didn't care, what they cared about was the word 'forget' in Xiao Mo's last words!

As if they couldn't believe Xiao Mo's words, it took Li Yuan and the others a long time to react, looked at Xiao Mo and asked: "Your Excellency said, but is it true?"

Xiao Mo nodded, but he sneered in his heart. These squires rejected their bids. Xiao Mo had already thought that this would be the case, so the lower price just now was just a cover. Xiao Mo has a lot of ways to deal with these squires who regard money as their life them!
Since you love money, then let your heartache go away!Now let's make you happy!Xiao Mo made up his mind and said to Li Yuan: "Yes, what I said is true, but..."

but?Hearing Xiao Mo's change of subject, the country gentry raised their hearts again, but fortunately Xiao Mo said immediately: "But this time the case must be settled first!"

Hearing Xiao Mo said that the case was up, Li Yuan and the Qian Yuanwai who took the initiative to lower the price to two taels of silver and one stone just now frowned again. Li Yuan was worried that Xiao Mo would not be reconciled, so he used the case to threaten People like himself, while Yuanwai Qian was beating heartily, because shopkeeper Su was his subordinate.

Li Yuan carefully persuaded: "My lord, let's not mention the matter of the case for now!"

Xiao Mo laughed when he heard the words: "Hehe... Don't worry about Mr. Li, since I said that I don't force you on the matter of food, I won't bother you anymore, but the case, with so many eyes watching, always has to Have an explanation!"

Li Yuan and the others didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Mo's gourd, so they nodded in agreement. Xiao Mo saw him and said, "It's not bad that Wang Ergou committed a crime, but if you didn't close the shop and don't buy food, the common people You won’t be hungry, so Wang Ergou will punish you, of course, you are also responsible, so, I plan to seal up your shop first, how about it?”

"Ah! Close our shop?" The country gentry exclaimed, Li Yuan shouted: "Don't make noise, listen to what adults say!"

"Yeah!" Seeing that Li Yuan finally got on the road, Xiao Mo nodded and continued: "You also planned to close the shop at first, in order to prove that your shop is indeed out of food, so that the people will not make trouble, so this official That's why you closed your shop, this official is actually protecting you..."

Seeing that these gentry were still frowning, obviously they didn't believe him, Xiao Mo couldn't help but find it funny, but he couldn't laugh, and continued to explain: "You may not trust me, why don't we sign a gentleman's agreement here, you guys The county government sent people to close the shop for half a month. During this period, you don’t need to sell food, and the officials will not ask you for food..."

"Then what about the food in our shop?"

Xiao Mo heard the words and saw that the squire surnamed Zhao was the one who spoke, so Xiao Mo said to Zhao Yuanwai: "After you go back, you can take away the grain in the shop before sunset, and I will send someone later tonight Come on the seal, most of the morning plus one afternoon, is it enough for you to transfer the food?"

"Enough..." Zhao Yuanwai said leisurely, such a long time is indeed enough, no one can put all the food in the shop!
"Yeah!" Xiao Mo said: "That's enough, then, next, I will talk about my request!"

Li Yuandao: "My lord, please tell me!"

"One!" Xiao Mo said seriously: "During this half month, no matter what happens in Shen County, you are not allowed to open the door to sell food!"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "We agree to this, but I'm afraid that when the time comes..."

Xiao Mo stretched out his hand to stop Li Yuan's words, and continued: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will never ask you for a grain. No matter what happens in the county, I can guarantee this, but you must also guarantee it. You can't make small moves behind the scenes, if this official finds out, someone incites the people, or spreads rumors indiscriminately, then I will risk my life, and I will fight you squires forever!"

Hearing Xiao Mo say such heavy words, how could Li Yuan dare to object?
Xiao Mo saw that the squires were silent, so he continued: "Finally, if you come to me on your own initiative to sell grain to the county, then the price will not be one tael of silver per bucket, but eight hundred wen One stone! What do you guys think? If there is no objection, then sign this agreement and go home!"

After all, Xiao Mo called Lin Yiye, asked him to draft an agreement, and put it on the table.

Taking advantage of Lin Yiye's time to draft the agreement, Li Yuan discussed it with several squires, and finally they all agreed, and then everyone signed the agreement!

　It is of course not that easy to overwhelm these local snakes, but local snakes are also snakes, if you change your mind, you can still overwhelm them!
