Hua Rujin put away the three hundred taels of silver notes, walked forward slowly, looked up at the tall Ye Chengguan, and asked in a pretentious tone: "Master Ye really wanted to borrow troops to suppress us just now?"
"Ahem, Miss Hua, how sure are you that our county can borrow troops today?"
Ye Chengguan looked at her with gentle and profound eyes, without explaining much.
Hua Rujin smiled: "I think 20% is too little. It should be 30%."
Although he knew that Wen Yuming would not be able to send troops to suppress the people, the shock power of what he had just said was really not small.
Ye Chengguan didn't answer any more, he looked at her silently and smiled faintly.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a sharp-tongued and admirable woman.
Thinking again about the confrontation with her a few days ago and what I saw today:
When things go wrong, don't panic; when things happen, don't take advantage of others by chance.
If there were more honest-hearted litigants like her in Jiangling City, it wouldn't be a problem even if they were women.
Shu Jinxuan quietly watched the two of them exchanging glances.
One asked knowingly, and the other tacitly understood, but neither of them disliked each other, which made him seem redundant.
He pretended to cough lightly, looked at Hua Rujin calmly, and deliberately urged: "Cousin, since the matter has been resolved, let's go back quickly, so as not to worry my aunt."
"good."
Hua Rujin bowed to Ye Cheng, said goodbye and got into the Shu family's carriage.
Just when the carriage was about to start, Ye Chengguan's deep and deep voice suddenly sounded from behind:
"Ms. Hua, don't forget to read the set of books given to you by this county carefully."
"take note of it."
Hua Rujin opened the car curtain and looked back at him, then suddenly remembered something, and reminded in a low voice: "Oh, by the way, now that the prefect has opened a new door, I'm afraid there will be many rice merchants competing to transport grain.
When entering Yuezhou, in order to avoid panic in Jiangling City, Mr. Ye should inform Magistrate Wen as soon as possible, strictly control the routes out of the city, and set quotas every day."
Wen Yuming wanted to find a way out for himself, so he went to the Meng family for surgery. However, if all the rice grains in Jingzhou Prefecture were really shipped to Yuezhou, the Meng family was afraid that they would be completely bankrupt and would be unable to stabilize the price of rice in Jiangling City.
Ye Chengguan knew the pros and cons of it, so he pursed his lips and responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll note it down."
Then, he watched the Shu family's carriage gradually disappear from sight.
Seeing that the young master was looking into the distance for a long time, Ting'an couldn't help but interjected: "Young Master doesn't want Miss Shiyin to make suggestions for you, because he feels that Miss Shiyin is too utilitarian and takes gains and losses too seriously, but
I think this lady from the Hua family is quite nice, she is smart and "
"Talk too much."
Ye Chengguan snorted coldly, and as soon as he looked away, he saw several bearers swaying left and right carrying the sedan in a hurry.
When the sedan stopped, the figure walking out of it made Ye Chengwei frown slightly.
The county magistrate Tang Haoran stepped forward in a panic. When he saw Ye Chengguan, he reported anxiously: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, the family members of Zhang Yuan, the headless male corpse, are beating drums in front of the government office to complain.
If the officials dare not specialize, please return to the county government to make the decision."
After experiencing the incident with the Dou family, he now became increasingly frightened towards the new county magistrate, and his manner of speaking became much more respectful.
Ye Chengguan half-squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and then waved to everyone: "Go back to the county office."
In the teahouse in the distance, He Shiyin was sipping tea casually, and had been quietly watching everything that happened in the Yamen of the state capital.
It wasn't until that upright figure that haunted people completely disappeared from sight that he stood up unhurriedly and smiled coldly towards the south of the city: "What a sharp mouth."
Mengjia rice shop in the north of the city
Meng Yutang heard the movement outside the door, and led his daughter Hua Shiyu to welcome him out happily. Looking at Meng Yanli and Hua Junxu's son-in-law who had returned, he asked with a smile: "Father, sir, sir,
What's going on? Can the prefect send away those merchants who are causing trouble?"
"Snapped."
Meng Yanli got angry without saying a word, and slapped her hard on the big face: "It's all your bad idea. If you do something bad, you have to end your life. If you get into trouble now, you may lose your family and everything."
end."
After that, he walked into the inner hall angrily.
At present, the price of rice has dropped by 20%. I originally wanted to hoard it and wait until the situation calms down before selling it at a higher price, but the prefect ordered the rice in the entire Mihangtun to be sold at this price.
If this continues, how can the rest of Mihang agree?
It is obvious that he wants to use his own money to make others happy and calm everyone's anger.
Hua Junxu was also very angry when he saw this woman who repeatedly failed to succeed but failed, so she let her husband-in-law lose money and cut off his career.
He raised his palm and wanted to fan it down, but after looking at his father-in-law who came in, he slowly lowered his palm and glared angrily: "It's a bad idea."
Meng Yutang covered her burning face and her daughter Hua Shiyu looked confused.
After thinking about it, I roughly thought that the prefect might have changed his mind again.
An angry slap hit Hua Shiyu's face, and Meng Yutang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed: "It's all your useless thing. If you had been more upbeat, why would I have to suffer from such cowardice everywhere?"
Hua Shiyu was blushing and still confused. She touched her hot cheek and muttered to herself in aggrieved and depressed tone: "What did I do wrong again?"
But looking at her mother who came in angrily, she could only follow in silently.
On the way back, Hua Rujin bought a beggar's chicken and two packs of pear blossom cakes from a roadside shop.
When they arrived at the house, they saw Cai Baiwei and her two little cubs sitting uneasily in the pergola by the stone well. Hua Rujin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When the two little cubs saw their elder sister and cousin returning, they came over happily.
The sharp-eyed Hua Youen noticed that both of them came in with happy faces instead of sad faces. She immediately smiled proudly and said: "Sister, did you rescue my father?"
"certainly."
Shu Jinxuan happily picked up Xiao Dou Ding and answered first: "Your sister not only rescued my uncle, but also saved the food of all the rice merchants in Jingzhou Prefecture."
After hearing this, Cai Baiwei finally stood up happily, came over and held Hua Rujin's hand tightly, and confirmed at a loss: "Rujin, is everything your cousin said true?"
Hua Rujin smiled and nodded.
But at this moment, Cai Baiwei still seemed to be in a dream and couldn't believe it: "How did you do that, girl?"
Shu Jinxuan then told the story completely.
After listening to her nephew's vivid narration, Cai Baiwei was so excited that she sighed repeatedly: "They say there are jade and houses in books. Mr. Ye is right to ask you to read more books. In the future, our family will earn more money."
Buy some books for you siblings."
She only thought that her daughter's argument in front of the magistrate and her efforts to turn the tide were inspired by the books given by Ye Chengkui.
This made Shu Jinxuan listen with sadness.
Thinking about the set of classics hidden in his bookcase, and thinking about the situation in Ning Yuan's bookstore, he couldn't easily blame Ye Chengwei.
After all, on that day, he casually told Ye Chengguan to go to a book store to buy medical books, but this guy was the first to deliver a whole set of Daye Law to his cousin.
But, where did this guy get so much money?
The Ye family is not a wealthy family. He was so generous when he first took office. He even bought two sets of hand-written classics without batting an eyelid.
That was his salary for nearly two years.
Moreover, on my grandmother’s birthday, the gift he gave me was Mr. Daobi’s calligraphy, which was a priceless treasure.
For a time, he gradually became more curious about this new top scholar.
