Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Facing Tiedan Daddy's unkind gaze, Cheng Wan and the other three stared back in silence without saying a word.

"No...not them, not them."

Aunt Sun shook her head wildly, crying until she was out of breath.

Village Chief Gao supported his father, with tears overflowing from his eyes, and told the truth in a hoarse voice.

The three brothers were stunned. They froze like three wooden men, unable to react for a moment.

Tiedan Daddy opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "This..., that..., no...can't? It can't be like this, how can it be like this? How can it be like this...

Are these three people lying to us? "

Village Chief Gao closed his eyes, "Then what do you want?

Wouldn't it be better for them not to tell us?

You can buy our local products at very cheap prices. "

Tiedan Daddy opened his mouth, and his eyes slowly turned red, "These bastards! Our life is already difficult, and they still bully us like this!

I'll call the people in the village and go to the city to settle the score with them! "

"Brother, let's go with you!"

Village Chief Gao's second and third sons were also filled with hatred.

"stop!"

Village Chief Gao stopped them, "One of them is the county magistrate, and the other is a well-known wealthy family in the county. How can you settle accounts with them?"

If they move their fingers just a little bit, our lives will be more difficult! "

"Is it possible that it's like this?! Are you letting them continue to lie to us?!

If they hadn't lied to us and collected mountain goods at the previous price, our lives would at least have been easier than now, and the children at home wouldn't have lost weight one by one! "

"Of course we can't continue like this!"

Village Chief Gao took a deep breath, "We didn't know anything before and we never left the county, so we were deceived.

But we now know that mountain products cannot be sold!

Then the mountain goods merchants can no longer use this to manipulate us.

We can, in turn, let them continue to charge our mountain goods at the previous price, or even try to raise the price a little higher. "

The three sons of Village Chief Gao who were present still showed hatred on their faces. Father Tiedan said unwillingly: "Then those mountain goods dealers have been lowering prices to collect mountain goods for the past few years, so let's forget it?!"

"Then what do you want to do?

There is no way we can fight the county magistrate and the He family. If we fight, we are seeking death.

As for those mountain goods dealers, let them make up the difference to us based on the original price?

is it possible?

They can go to other places to collect wild products. We are not the only ones producing wild products in Gaojia Village and Yingqiu County!

Shangyong County further north of Yingqiu County also produces mountain products!

To put it bluntly, the mountain goods merchants did not hold a knife to our necks and force us to sell the goods to them.

This is what we want! "

Village Chief Gao's eyes were red, but he still tried to stay calm. He broke up his words and told Tiedan Daddy and the others clearly, for fear that they would do something irreversible impulsively.

What Village Chief Gao said is also what makes Cheng Wan difficult to handle.

Shanhuo merchants are businessmen, and it is normal for businessmen to pursue profits.

It's just that some businessmen will leave some leeway for the other party, while some businessmen will do whatever it takes to maximize their profits.

The merchants who come to Gaojiacun, or Yingqiu County, to buy mountain goods are obviously colluding and only looking for profit.

However, it is basically impossible to punish businessmen on the grounds of excessive pursuit of profit and deceiving the people.

There is no crime of bribery in this dynasty.

Cheng Wan narrowed his eyes slightly. There was only one way to make these mountain goods dealers suffer so much that they would not dare to act like this again.

The collusion between officials and businessmen to exploit the people is something that no wise ruler can tolerate.

As long as the magistrate of Yingqiu County falls, the mountain goods merchants and the He family who colluded with him will never be able to escape.

Not to mention having their homes confiscated and sent to jail, they must be fined and confiscated part of their property to "rip off a layer of their skin" so that they don't dare to be so wanton again.

Once the superiors get involved and decide to become the magistrate of Yingqiu County, they will definitely consider a good way out for the people in Yingqiu County who mainly rely on selling mountain products for a living.

Otherwise, it would be better not to become the magistrate of Yingqiu County.

In this way, at least the people in Yingqiu County like Gaocun Changjia can still have some income and not starve to death.

Being the magistrate of Yingqiu County is a matter of officialdom.

Cheng Wan lowered his eyes and thought to himself: "I really need to go find Magistrate Mao when I get back. It is really a disaster to keep the current magistrate of Yingqiu County.

If Governor Mao doesn't care, then... let's talk about it later. "

Cheng Wan selfishly felt that Commander Mao would take care of it.

This is the conclusion Cheng Wan came to based on a brief meeting with Governor Mao and some things Xu Zhinian told her about Governor Mao.

Village Chief Gao's father raised his hand tremblingly and wiped his tears, "Just listen to your father, we have no money and no power, how can we fight with others?

Nothing is more important than your safety! "

In the room, Aunt Sun's crying gradually stopped.

She wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves and choked with sobs: "You three... don't just stand here. Go and weigh... the mountain products for the three... three nobles."

Tiedan Daddy and the others turned around and left the house reluctantly, feeling suffocated in their hearts.

"Don't tell other people in the village about this yet! Otherwise there will be trouble!

Take care of your own wives and children! "

Village Chief Gao gave a few more instructions to the backs of his three sons.

The room fell silent again.

Aunt Sun forced a smile on her face and looked at Cheng Wan with sincere gratitude in her eyes.

“Girl, I really don’t know how to thank you.

Otherwise, otherwise we don’t know how long we will be deceived.

Year after year, life becomes more and more difficult. "

Cheng Wan shook his head slightly and said, "I just told the truth out of conscience. There is no need to be so polite."

If the lives of these villagers could be a little better, and the purchase price of mountain goods was not so different from her psychological price, then Cheng Wan, as a future businessman, would not waste any more money.

To make money, everyone depends on their ability.

These villagers do not have the ability to find markets for their mountain goods on their own, nor do they have the ability to set up their own fleets to sell the goods directly to terminal parties, which means they will earn less.

But the problem is that now it is not a question of more or less income.

It was these people who were being oppressed so much that Cheng Wan felt that she was not a particularly kind person, and she also loved pursuing profits, but as an ordinary person, she had the most basic sympathy and compassion as an ordinary person.

Village Chief Gao's father regained his composure a little, leaned against the kang, and said slowly: "Girl, I'm in charge today. Those mountain goods you just ordered will be settled at the price per pound we agreed on before.

We are sincerely grateful to the girl.

It makes no sense that those bastards can buy mountain goods at such a cheap price. On the contrary, the three nobles bought mountain goods at a relatively high price. "

Cheng Wan naturally disagreed.

The difference between the two calculus prices is as much as four or five taels of silver.

These four or five taels of silver are really not a lot of money to Cheng Wan now.

But for Gao Village Chief's family, these four or five taels of silver can make their family's life a little easier in the future.

And even if he bought it at the previous price, Cheng Wan still made a profit.

What's more, this also involves the fact that Village Chief Gao once showed kindness to He Chunlai.

Then, a very magical scene appeared.

The buyer wants to pay more, but the seller disagrees.

After the two sides struggled for a while, Cheng Wan sighed with a headache, "Can we compromise?

Dried fungus costs one hundred and fifty cents per catty, and other items cost ten cents per catty.

If you still don't agree, we won't buy it. "
