Take the mall to Datang

"Hey!" The person next to him sighed, thinking that this Er Gouzi is really stupid, the officials from the court are very powerful, but after they leave, you are a farmer who sits on the ground and wait for the people of King Lu to come and clean you up. But how to live.

Yuan Shan became interested when he heard it. It seems that there are still people who dare to speak. It should be that life is very unsatisfactory and wants to change. He likes such people. Often such people are likely to succeed if given a chance, because life has already changed. What is there not to dare to do in such a desperation.

"You continue to say, the Lord of the country is the master for you. If anyone dares to bully you afterwards, he must be careful, Lao Tzu, uh, the Lord of the Kingdom has given the 'Shangfang Sword' by His Majesty. This sword is very powerful. It can cut Faint kings and lords, I can kill slanderous ministers and disobedient ones, and let you see its 'grace'." Yuan Shan said and stretched down, and Du Qianyu handed over Li Shimin's accessories.

With a sound of "cang clang", the sword was drawn out of its sheath. This is Li Shimin's weapon for fighting on the battlefield. It has seen blood in the seams, but it was later decorated by the craftsmen of the Shaofu Supervisor with a 'renewal'. The pattern on the sword made up for it, with There are many inlays, but the blade is still extremely sharp.

When they saw the golden sword all over their bodies, all the common people bowed and dared not look at it again. They were very afraid in their hearts. The emperor's sword is so powerful, and the emperor's authority is strictly inviolable.

Yuan Shan didn't do it so well, it shocked the people, but he felt very uncomfortable. The sword of the king is a sharp sword, but what he prefers to see is the sword of 'benevolence', the sword of the people.

He snorted and took back the sword. The "appearance" of this sword is still very eye-catching.

"Okay, you have seen that no matter who it is, as long as he violates the king's law and bullies the people, the Duke of this country can use this sword to punish him. What's your name, continue talking." Yuan Shan returned to the topic. .

"The villain's name is Zhang Ergou. Everyone calls me Ergouzi. Last year, my family used the grain from our field to raise pigs. The pigs ate all the grain of our family. I used the pigs for some money to live on, but I didn’t expect the pigs to be sold cheaply to the merchants who bought them. Many people in our village didn’t want to sell them, but all the pork in the family was poisoned to death for no reason. My father was afraid that someone would harm our pigs. If we sold it, the money we got in exchange would not be enough for the whole family to live on for a whole year, and if the Grand Duke still let our family raise pigs, it would kill us.” Zhang Ergou said.

"What the hell, there's this matter. What about Zhang Junyi? Bring Zhang Junyi to the Duke for questioning." Yuan Shan was a little annoyed, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Zhang Junyi was in a cold sweat. He heard it, and hurried over from the crowd, and said, "Duke Lan, my servant is here."

"You've heard what happened just now, right? If you don't give an explanation to the Lord, then you, the governor, will be considered successful." Yuan Shan said with a cold face.

At this time, the guards around him surrounded Zhang Junyi. They were all from the Beiya imperial guards. They were not wearing armor, but they were full of murderous looks. They immediately backed away in fright and gave Zhang Junyi the place where he was standing.

"Mr. Lan, the lower officials know at this time that the yamen guards were chasing down the person who bought the pork but to no avail. The case has dragged on for so long. It's really not the lower officials' intention to ignore it," Zhang Junyi said.

"Where were you when there was forced buying and selling? Why don't you go home and farm the land instead of making decisions for the people when you're an official?" Yuan Shan said.

"The incident happened when the official just took office. When the official found out about it, he asked people to investigate it with all his strength. If Lan Guogong didn't believe it, the official would not be able to argue with it." Zhang Junyi said resolutely.

"Never mind you, now that something happened, you said it had nothing to do with you. The Duke of the country inspected the states of Jiannan Road on behalf of His Majesty. You will not know until you investigate. The people who came here first took Zhang Junyi into custody, and his family also gave me The official took good care of it, and the injustice in Fengzhou should be taken care of by the government. I also heard that the grain merchants in Fengzhou intend to drive up the price. What is the price compared to other prefectures? What is the price in Fengzhou? Those rice merchants brought them here." Yuan Shan said.

Things have already happened, so it's better to make things bigger. It's not his character to keep a low profile. He should do such a thing when he comes to do this inspection.

A kind of guard took Zhang Junyi away, and the common people looked at each other as if they hadn't reacted yet. One sentence was swift and swift, and a governor was imprisoned. Zhang Ergou was stunned. How could he have thought that such a thing would be involved? Governor.

"Zhang Ergou, tell me how many other people are in a situation like yours?" Yuan Shan asked.

Zhang Ergou stuttered a little this time, and said, "There are six households in our village."

"Where is Governor Shi of Fengzhou, come and talk." Yuan Shan said.

"Xiaguan Fengzhou Governor Shi Liu Minsheng is here." Liu Minsheng looked energetic in his fifties.

"Do you know how many pig farmers there were in Fengzhou last year?" Yuan Shan asked.

"A total of 360 households." Liu Minsheng said immediately.

"You remember clearly." Yuan Shan asked curiously.

"This is the responsibility of the lower officials. When the officials from the Ministry of Economic Development came over, the lower officials registered the relevant information." Liu Minsheng said.

"Well, you are doing a good job as an official, and you are very responsible. In this case, you should count all these pig farmers and subsidize them in the name of Fengzhou Yamen. You should take care of the things in life. Go back to the Ministry of Economics and Development Some people will help them regain the job of raising pigs, who will make trouble when the country is made public this time." Yuan Shan said.

"The lower officials will do their best to handle this matter," Liu Minsheng said.

"I called you here today to talk about raising pigs. The situation in Fengzhou is a bit complicated, but it doesn't matter. In order to compensate the losses of pig farmers, the Ministry of Economic Development will build a pig farm in Fengzhou. By then, the previous farmers will A limited number of people are hired, and everyone is paid on time." Yuan Shan said.

"Thank you, Lord Guo." Zhang Ergou was the first to exhale.

Then the common people began to shout, and after a burst of cheers, Yuan Shan calmed down everyone's emotions, and said: "No need to thank, the affairs of the common people are the affairs of the imperial court, whoever dares to bully the common people, I will definitely test him."

At this time, the guards brought a few merchants, and said, "Mr. Lan, all the storekeepers of the rice shop have been brought."

All the people were quiet. When it came to the issue of grain, they really wanted to know what would happen to the grain merchants.

"Are you the merchants who have monopolized the Fengzhou grain store?" Yuan Shan asked after looking at a few people.

Chapter 934 Wu Tiande

"My lord, we have all fulfilled our duties and have not been forced to buy or sell." Wu Tiande shouted first.

The guard on the side went up and slapped Wu Tiande directly, and Wu Tiande was speechless for a moment. He heard the guard say: "Answer the question directly, do you want to talk about something else?"

It was none other than Cheng Chumo, the second-generation dandy who was full of violence. He hated people who bullied the common people the most, and he had a better understanding of today's situation. How could he bear the fact that the monopoly of grain merchants was confirmed? Just take this opportunity to move your hands and feet.

Cheng Chumo's strength, Wu Tiande was stunned, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Yuan Shan took it for granted when he saw it, and suddenly felt a refreshing feeling in his heart.

Xue Rengui shouted from the side: "You can say whatever you want to say, and if you dare to talk nonsense, you will chop off his head. Even if you operate legally but have bad intentions and unscrupulous profiteers, everyone will be punished, just look at it." Do you think your head is too long?"

Xue Rengui had no scruples when he spoke, and the common people were very happy to hear it. Fengzhou Governor Shi Liu Minsheng was very worried. If this word got out, Duke Lan would definitely be accused of rampant crime by a calm servant, but Seeing that Duke Lan didn't seem to care, it made him feel indifferently scared.

The merchants were all languid one by one, and put away their dissatisfaction, and when they looked up again, they had changed their looks with lowered brows and complacent eyes.

There were also people muttering in low voices: "Good fight."

Suddenly, more people began to read along with them, and then everyone got bolder and started shouting.

This was the voice of the people, and it was also a way to vent. Yuan Shan didn't stop it, and just like that, the people talked nonsense for a long time.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. This matter needs to be resolved. Let's all calm down. The Lord will not blame a good person, but he will not let a bad person go. Uprightness is the hallmark of the Lord." Yuan Shan said.

Yuchi Baolin on the side said what the teacher is doing today, the "movable type signboard" will change, alas, you say you businessmen are not good to provoke, and who can be blamed for pointing your back.

"Tell me, why is your rice price so expensive?" Yuan Shan casually pointed to a businessman and asked.

"Small, everyone, no, no..." The businessman was about to say that he didn't know, when he saw Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, making fists with his hands, as if he would hit you if you didn't say anything posture.

Businessmen are smart, so they don’t know what happened today. Even if it’s reasonable and legal, when a scholar meets a soldier, he can’t explain why. It’s either shit or shit. Raise the price of rice only if you don’t lose money.”

"Good reason." Yuan Shan nodded.

Then he pointed to the businessman next to him and asked, "Does the rice shop make money?"

The people around are confused, there is no problem with this, it seems to be getting more and more biased, this is not the rhythm of punishing profiteers.

The businessman who was asked immediately said: "To make money, to make money, or not to make money."

While talking, he looked at Wu Tiande, obviously they all followed the lead of the horse just now, and Yuan Shan just looked at him like this.

Wu Tiande reacted here, and secretly scolded you for being stupid, let me see what you are looking at.

"What the hell, the rice shop is yours, don't you know if it's profitable or not? Let's see." Cheng Chumo yelled, and made another move, and the surrounding people looked at him to relieve their anger.

"Ouch~~~" The businessman was almost out of breath after being cleaned up, so Cheng Chumo gave up.
