Guo Jun saw that this official from Zhao was dressed gorgeously, had an extraordinary conversation, and was accompanied by dozens of followers, all riding horses. He was from Luojing, so his status must be extraordinary.

On weekdays, in Xiangyang City, the only people who can ride horses are officials and Guo Daguan.

Guo Jun thought to himself that he would finally meet a rich man and be able to make a match and get some money.

People in the Song Dynasty loved business. Probably no other dynasty in ancient feudal dynasties was so interested in business.

This is true for everyone from the princes and nobles to the common people.

Guo Jun naturally wants to make profits from it.

Zhao Ning pretended to be confused: "Do Guo Daguan people have food? Don't lie to me, I'm in a hurry."

"really have."

"Then why didn't Guo Daguan sell it to them, but sold it to me, a person from Luoyang? Do you want to kill outsiders?"

Seeing that Guanren Zhao had guessed his idea, Guo Jun quickly denied it: "No, no, that's absolutely not the intention."

"Why is that?"

Guo Jun whispered: "To be honest with Mr. Zhao, those grains actually belong to Mr. Guo."

"Well, you just said that it was Xiangyang who promoted Chang Pingsi, why did you say it was from Guo Daguan?"

"Isn't that what Guo Daguan sold to the Changping Division?"

As soon as he said these words, Zhao Ning understood immediately.

Zhao Ning walked over and started selling grain.

The price of that grain was as high as two guans and one stone!

You know, the price of food in the capital is now 0.7 guan per shi.

Zhao Ning, the leader of the capitalists, immediately realized that the official Guo was jointly promoting the officials of the Changping Division, playing a game of extortion and extortion.

When the people were in poverty and there was no surplus food, the landlords gave them loans.

The common people took out loans and went to Changping to buy grain in name.

But in fact, the grain in Tiji Changping Division was sold to the government by the landlord.

Why not sell directly to the people?

The more procedures you go through, the more oil and water you can get. This is the law of the feudal dynasty since ancient times.

And local officials always have to put on a show: Come quickly, everyone, our government is distributing food!

In this way, even if the people below want to report it, they will not be able to do anything.

The landlord sold it directly to the common people, probably for one stone, or five coins for one stone.

If you add a government official in the middle, it will become two branches and one stone.

And among the money lent to these common people, I am afraid that it is not only money from Guo officials, but also money from government officials. There are special people to manage and manage their finances.

Otherwise, how could a high-ranking official from Guo be so bold as to strip off skin and drink blood in the territory of Xiangyang Prefecture?

In the Song Dynasty, a dynasty used monks' "ultimatums" as stock speculation. The emperor (Zhao Ji) and the prime minister (Cai Jing) took the lead in playing capital games. The Dutch who were crazy about tulips had to call them ancestors when they saw them.

It is not surprising that local officials and businessmen colluded to play this kind of trick.

Zhao Ning looked at Guo Jun who was smiling and asked, "Do Guo Daguan people have so much food?"

"Guan Daguan is a big shot in Xiangyang Mansion. If you think it's not enough, he has plenty of ideas."

Zhao Ning asked again: "Are you from the Guo family?"

Guo Jun said: "The villain is a steward of the Guo family, who is responsible for the Guo family's loan business. Why don't Zhao Guanren go to the Guo family with the villain first? Guo Daguan is a well-known philanthropist and is very happy to share with heroes from all over."

Drink and talk freely.”

"Where is the Guo family?"

Guo Jun pointed to the south and said: "Ten miles from here, you will see the Guo family's large manor in front of you."

"How about you go back and report first, saying that someone from Zhao is here to visit and wants to buy 100,000 shi of grain from him." After saying that, Zhao Ning asked Jing Chao to take out a bulging bag and threw it to Guo Jun.

Guo Jun was stunned for a moment and hurriedly opened it and saw that it was actually copper coins. He weighed it again and found that there were dozens of coins at least.

"I'm sorry for you. This is your beheading money...oh no, tea money."

Guo Jun was even more happy and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! I'll go back and report it right away, waiting for Mr. Zhao to arrive."

Guo Jun rode on his donkey, gave instructions to his men around him, and then went back first.

Zhao Ning returned to the place where the Imperial Guards were stationed.

Hu Quan asked: "Sir, it sounds like the Guo family is not a good person. How about I take them there?"

"Don't worry, the duck is in the pot, it can't fly." Zhao Ning led the people and rushed forward.

Along the way, he passed several villages, and all of them were borrowing money.

Suddenly, he saw a group of people gathered in front of him, and there was a noise.

"Let's go over and have a look!"

At the entrance of the village ahead, a large group of people were surrounding them. They didn't know what they were doing. When they saw Zhao Ning coming with someone, they all looked over with curiosity and surprise.

"Beat me to death! You won't pay back the money you owe! How dare you run away!" a fat man said viciously.

"Stop!" Hu Quan shouted angrily.

Everyone looked around and saw that there were many people coming, and all of them were riding horses. Those who were beating people stopped immediately.

The fat man ran over, cupped his fists and said, "I'm Guo Chang, the young steward of the Guo family. May I ask what kind of hero you are?"

Hu Quan asked: "Why are you beating people?"

Guo Chang said: "These people don't pay back the money they owe and want to escape!"

"We've paid it off."

"Fart! You borrowed 10 strings last year, and this year you have to pay back 30 strings in interest, plus the principal, a total of 40 strings! You only paid back 20 strings! You still owe 20 strings!"

"We paid it back in advance, we have already paid it off!" The person who spoke was a young man who was beaten to a bloody head and was holding a child in his arms.

The woman on the side is crying, obviously they are a family.

There were luggage bags scattered on the ground, and some cakes fell from them. The little boy stared at the cakes, broke away from his father, and wanted to pick up the cakes.

Suddenly he was stepped on by someone's foot.

The little boy said: "Mom said this is our dry food, please give it back to us, otherwise we will have nothing to eat on the way."

Guo Chang slapped him: "Fuck you! Stay here honestly!"

The woman rushed over, hugged her child, and cried, "Don't hit him, he's still young."

Zhao Ning pointed at Guo Chang and said to Jing Chao: "Bring that person over."

"yes!"

Several imperial guards immediately went over and grabbed Guo Chang.

Before Guo Chang could react, he was dragged over. He suddenly shouted: "What are you doing!"

The expressions of the people around him changed drastically.

Guo Chang was brought to Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning turned over and dismounted, looked at Guo Chang carefully, and said lightly: "He looks white and fat. He usually eats less, right?"

"This official, I am from the Guo family. Are you sure you want to offend the Guo family..."

When he didn't say anything, Zhao Ning slapped him with a slap, leaving five finger prints on Guo Chang's face.

Guo Chang was stunned.

When people around saw Zhao Ning leading so many people, they didn't dare to take action.

"You...you dare to disturb..."

"Believe it or not, I dare to kill you!"

Guo Chang covered his face, glanced at the people around Zhao Ning, immediately shrank back, and muttered: "This official, I also act according to the rules. This family wants to escape. How can they escape without paying back the money? We
