After Ge Laogen, his wife, daughter, son-in-law and his family kowtowed several times in the direction of the sun, Qian Xiaohao, the son of the money catcher who was in charge of managing the granary nearby, suddenly said: "The direction of the Yamen is not that way."
Although Ge Laogen was a little confused, in order to show the sincerity of himself and his family, he quickly asked for the location of Zhouyi Yamen, and kowtowed three times in that direction with gratitude.
Zhao Tiezhu, his cousin, and his father-in-law pushed nearly 800 kilograms of grain on the cart without feeling tired at all.
This is like a joke from a previous life: If you ask me to lift a hundred kilograms of bricks, I may not be able to move them, but if you ask me to lift a hundred kilograms of banknotes, I can carry them as fast as flying.
On the way back, Zhao Xiaomao also explained to Zhao Tiezhu's family the story of the Yongquan Stone and Yongquan Well in the city, and also told them about the fairy grain potatoes from the Kunlun Fairy Mountain that the people in Pingliang County are now growing.
Zhao Tiezhu's family of five felt that Pingliang County was simply a paradise on earth after hearing that an acre of food could produce a thousand kilograms of grain.
At the same time, at Zhouji Grain Shop in Pingjiang County, shopkeeper Bai Sheng was eating melon seeds leisurely in the shop, waiting for the arrival of the grain delivery team.
Bai Sheng and Yang Xiu are in Pingyang City and the other is in Pingjiang County.
Because Yang Xiu is Zhou Yi's confidant, the rice in Pingyang City is put in by Zhou Yi through the system. The food in Bai Sheng's place was transported by the people of Pingliang County.
According to the request of the county magistrate, Bai Sheng colluded with grain merchants in Pingjiang County to push up the price of grain in Pingjiang County. Then they spread the news that food in Pingliang County was cheap, inducing people in Pingjiang County to flee to Pingliang County and increasing the population of Pingliang County.
Now, under the joint operation of Parkson and local grain merchants, grain prices in Pingjiang County are indeed getting higher and higher, and the business of Zhouji Grain Store run by Bai Sheng is getting better and better, and can even be said to be booming.
There is no other reason. Although Bai Sheng's food is 10% more expensive than other stores, the food he has here is all refined food.
Therefore, the business of Ji Food Store this week is much better than that of other stores in Pingjiang County.
If no food has been delivered, Bai Shengsheng's warehouse will only have enough food to sell for about three days.
Based on past experience, the food should have been delivered to Pingjiang County at noon today. But now that the sun is setting, there is still no trace of the food delivery team in Pingliang County.
"Could it be that there was an accident on the road?" The anxious Bai Sheng couldn't help but think wildly.
Good things don’t work out, and bad things happen as soon as you think about them.
The next second, a man with a familiar face and a gray face rushed into Bai Sheng's food store. He gasped for air at Bai Sheng and said hurriedly: "Bai... Shopkeeper Bai, our food has been robbed!"
"What? The food was actually taken away? Who is so bold and dares to steal the food from our great master!" Bai Sheng asked the visitor eagerly, shaking his head.
"They... they said they were from Heifeng Village. Ten of us who were carrying grain were tied up in the mountain. The gangsters from Heifeng Village asked us to use grain as ransom! Each of us wanted one There are a hundred catties of grain!”
When such a big thing happens, Bai Sheng can't make the decision.
Besides, the granary under Bai Sheng's control in Pingjiang County doesn't have that much food to go to Heifeng Village to redeem the people in the county.
So Bai Sheng immediately used flying pigeons to deliver the message to Pingliang County.
At this moment, he is in the Juyi Hall of Heifeng Village in Heifeng Mountain.
At the top there is a king's chair covered with a bearskin.
A man with a fleshy face was currently pressing a slender woman on the bear skin king chair. The fleshy man kept ravaging the woman beneath him.
This man with a sinister face is none other than Xie Baoqing, the leader of Black Wind Village.
The woman's shrill scream made Xie Baoqing's bestiality arouse.
But within a minute, the woman's shrill screams stopped.
Xie Baoqing pushed the woman under him away with satisfaction, and then said to the man who was standing respectfully in the hall: "Haha, the women in this city are so delicious! Shopkeeper Ye can send more women like this here in the future. !”
The next man, who was called Shopkeeper Ye, quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I have decided to send more beauties like Xiao Taohong to Master Xie for you to enjoy."
"Thanks to the leader of the village, let's snatch the grain transportation team of Zhouji Grain Shop..."
Xie Baoqing laughed loudly and interrupted Shopkeeper Ye's words.
"Thanks to your boss Ye for informing me, my brothers from Black Wind Village have succeeded today."
"My brothers not only robbed them of five carts of grain, but also seized ten meat coupons from their Zhouji Grain Shop, and asked them to prepare a hundred kilograms of grain for each meat coupon within seven days to redeem them."
When the shopkeeper Ye of Pingjiang County heard this, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel proud: "A strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake. Although I don't know who Bai Sheng is, you can get so much refined grain and white rice, but in this Pingjiang In the final analysis, it is not my Ye family that has the final say in the city!"
In the dilapidated Yamen of Pingliang County, Zhou Yi had just had dinner. Of course, what he had for dinner tonight was not rice porridge and pickled mustard, but a few pheasants that the folks in the county had hunted in the mountains.
Although the pheasant meat is very thick in texture, the soup is extremely delicious. Zhou Yi drank several bowls of this natural pheasant soup.
Just when Zhou Yi was about to go to give evening classes to the people in the county and teach them new writing skills, the leader Qian Yong hurriedly rushed into the Yamen with a small cloth strip.
"Master, something bad is going to happen~ Something is going to happen~"
As soon as Zhou Yi heard that something big had happened, he immediately thought that the Xiongnu, Khitan, or Qiang and Di tribes had invaded Chen State again.
"Master, our food has been robbed."
As soon as Qian Yong's words came out, Zhou Yi's tense nerves relaxed.
"Okay, okay, it's not a foreign invasion. I still have time to survive and grow."
But the next second, Zhou Yi's expression changed again.
Zhou Yi asked Qian Captou with a cold look on his face: "What's going on?"
Qian Captou quickly showed Zhou Yi the note from Bai Sheng.
After Zhou Yi read the contents of the letter, Zhou Yi's face turned dark.
"What? Didn't you send anyone to escort the food this time?"
When Qian Captou heard this, his whole body wilted.
Because Pingliang County has recently been concentrating its efforts on building new houses for everyone, and there were no problems during the first two food shipments, Chief Qian sent people to help the people in the county build houses.
Qian Captou explained carefully and honestly.
Zhou Yi angrily scolded: "Build a house, build a house. If you said you would transfer people to the blacksmith shop to forge weapons and equipment, I wouldn't scold you, but you actually transferred people to the construction site to build a house!"
