Chapter 173 The wine and meat of Zhumen stink
That's right, Viscount Sull's grain was bought by himself, but the price was not so much a purchase as a robbery.
Dai Huabin's spies stationed in several nearby territories had submitted reports long ago, saying that the nobles had come to forcibly expropriate grain, driving down the price to a very low level.At the same time, the price of grain sold in grain stores was increased.
This is how to hoard so much food, it can be said that every grain is stained with blood.
Dai Huabin took the grain without feeling the slightest bit of guilt. At the same time, it was not just a talk that he would return the principal and interest a year later. He would still complete the contract and return the grain.
Viscount Xiu Er didn't pretend anymore, and said bluntly: "No matter what I say, I can't lend you so much food. Let's do it, up to five thousand stones. This is my final limit. will compromise."
"Anyway, that's how the IOU is written. I've already signed it. I still suggest that you sign it. Even if you don't sign it, I will treat it as if you signed it. Don't worry, I will follow the agreement. I won't take an extra grain." Don't be afraid, he has thought about it before he comes, and he will do the courtesy first and then the soldiers.
When Viscount Xiuer heard this, he was quite angry. Before that, he thought that Dai Huabin looked handsome, and thought that he was worthy of being the heir of Duke Baihu. His temperament and upbringing were different.Doesn't it look like a rogue now?
How come there is a unilateral contract.
As everyone knows, when Viscount Xiuer bought those grains at a low price, didn't he also buy and sell them unilaterally? This is the humbleness of the weak in front of the strong.
Viscount Xiu Er stood up and said angrily: "Since this is the case, I still have something to do, so I will not accompany you. Please, Viscount Xingchen, do what you want."
With such words, he naturally wanted to see off the guests behind closed doors. Obviously, Xiu Er didn't want to say anything more to Dai Huabin, nor did he want to borrow food.
"Okay, I've already given you the IOU. Then I'll send someone to pick up the goods." Dai Huabin was not annoyed, he stood up and turned to leave.
Xue Qinghe and Xiao Mumu, who had been standing behind Dai Huabin, also left. As soon as the three of them walked out, Xiao Mumu couldn't wait to ask: "Master Viscount, since our Star Leader is so powerful, why bother talking nonsense with him? Come here and directly Can't you grab it?"
Dai Huabin continued to walk forward, and said without turning back: "Steal? Why do you want to rob? Since we can borrow it, we don't need to do anything illegal. We Star Leaders are not bandits."
Little Wood let out an "oh" and fell into deep thought.
Dai Huabin walked out of the city gate, summoned the White Tiger Riders, and continued on to the next destination.
As soon as the front foot left, Viscount Xiuer ordered all the food to be transferred to other places. Now he has some confidence that Dai Huabin will do something obvious.
After giving all these instructions, he ran to ask the gatekeeper which direction Dai Huabin was heading.
Knowing that Dai Huabin did not return to the Star Territory but went to another territory, Xiuer immediately thought that Dai Huabin must also be borrowing food.
Then he hurriedly sent a letter to several nearby lords to reassure him. After all, Dai Huabin had a special status, but if several lords united, Dai Huabin would have to weigh their weight.
At this time, Lan Jiesi's team also came back. Looking at Lan Jiesi, who was still in shock, and thinking of which direction Dai Huabin came from, he knew that there was probably some conflict between the two of them.
Then he asked: "You don't have a conflict with the Viscount Xingchen, do you?"
"That's right, but this time it's really not my fault. They were the first to do it. They also destroyed our tax card, and thousands of refugees passed without receiving any money." Blue Jess Also depressed, aggrieved said.
Xiu Er thought about it for a while, and probably figured out the whole story. Although his brother-in-law has no skills and has a whole body of problems, he still has good eyesight, so it should be impossible to offend Dai Huabin.
So what does Dai Huabin want to do?First, he destroyed his tax card, and just now forced him to lend him food.It can be said that everything that Dai Huabin does is not in line with the nobles' behavior, and even completely disagrees with the logic.
So much so that until now Xiu Er didn't even know what Dai Huabin wanted?
Unable to figure it out, Xiu Er simply didn't think about it anymore. Since Dai Huabin was going to the next place, he would have to do the same thing, so he waited first, and it would be a disadvantage for others to wait.Only then can everyone unite and put pressure on Dai Huabin together.
Maybe at that time, in order to maintain his own image, the White Tiger Duke will compensate the various lords with some benefits.
On the other side, Dai Huabin continued to move forward with people. There are more refugees here. This time, the person he is looking for is also a viscount. After arriving at the place, the process is still the same, but this viscount is more cowardly than Xiu Er, it seems very Fear of the White Tiger Duke behind Dai Huabin.
Without further ado, he signed the contract and promised to send someone to Xingchen to collect the food immediately. This made Dai Huabin feel a little embarrassed. After thanking the other party, he rested there for the night.
Early the next morning, Dai Huabin led the team to the most important place, Earl Langton's territory, Griffon Land.
Even though the Griffon Land is an Earl's Land, the Griffin Land is actually about the same size as the Star Land, and the Ming Luo River also flows through here. When we got here, the Ming Luo River was already very wide, and the river was not so urgent.
The land here is more fertile than that of Xingchen Ling. It is considered to be the main grain-producing area in a large area nearby, but there are no mineral resources, and it has been relying on agriculture for development.
It is precisely because of the developed agriculture that the Griffon Territory has developed rapidly in the past few years, and it looks like a prosperous scene.
The roadside is full of all kinds of crops, but the Griffin Leader still adopts relatively primitive human planting, and the production efficiency is not as good as the high-tech agriculture of the Star Leader, but the land is more fertile.
The interesting thing is that even with so much grain, the grain trucks still enter the city with full loads and leave the city empty. Both sides of the avenue outside the city are full of hungry refugees, and around them are immature wheat seedlings.
There are soldiers standing guard everywhere, for fear that these hungry refugees will destroy the food in the farmland.
Although Xiaomu lived in a wealthy family when he was a child, he was still relatively poor in the next few years, and he even experienced a life of refugees some time ago.He knew exactly how the refugees lived.
Looking at these refugees who were dying and collapsing on both sides of the road now, I have a little more understanding of Dai Huabin's previous actions.
At this time, Dai Huabin suddenly said to him: "Xue Qinghe, Xiao Mumu, why do you two say that they have so much food, so much that the warehouses are piled up, but they refuse to take it out to help the refugees, and even sell it at a low price or even at a low price? Woolen cloth?"
"I don't know." Xue Qinghe thought for a while and said.
Little Wood thought for a longer time, and said, "I don't know either."
The answers of the two are also very consistent, but from their expressions, it can be seen that they really don't know?It's just that the answer is too dark to speak.
