A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

"How? Did that Jane transfer those things?"

"My lord, there is no such thing. The person surnamed Jane really used those potatoes and sweet potatoes to make something called French fries. I heard that one catty of potatoes can be made for one catty, so the current price is only one tael of silver. A pound of vermicelli."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that person to actually succeed."

"Hahaha, isn't it good?"

After hearing this, several old men sitting next to him also laughed.For a while, the room could be regarded as harmonious.

"Mr. Qi, what do you see?"

If Jian Ping was in this place, he would be able to tell at a glance that the first two sitting at the bottom were the elders of the Big Zhang clan and the elders of the Xiao Zhang clan that he had seen in his house before.

However, in front of Jian Ping, the two old men who couldn't hide their arrogance even if they had concealed it, now they looked respectful.

But the person who was so respected by the two old men was only a middle-aged man in his thirties.

This person's face was pale and beardless, and a pair of eyes flashed with disgust and disdain from time to time.Sitting in the top position, but in an awkward posture, he didn't touch the tea on the table next to him, or even the armrest.

Just like how the two elders surnamed Zhang concealed in front of Jian Ping, this man also concealed his disdain in front of these elders surnamed Zhang.

Dressed in silk and satin, it looked very different in this town of Peach Blossom, which is considered to be a rich man in fine cotton.

Qi Youfu frowned, restraining his movements of pinching his nose. "Okay, those people don't have the guts to think about it."

"What Mr. Qi said is true, what Mr. Qi said is true!"

The compliments from the two elders surnamed Zhang finally made Qi Youfu look a little bit better.However, it was just a little bit better.

In such a dirty and impoverished place, Qi Youfu felt that he couldn't stay for a quarter of an hour. "Okay, that's it. As long as you do things well, you will never be treated badly. The remaining food will be transported out of the city within three days. If you dare to spoil the good work of the master, hehe, be careful what you eat Don't end up walking around."

Qi Youfu stood up frowning, brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes, and then walked directly towards the door.And the two elders surnamed Zhang quickly got up and sent people out with a respectful attitude on their faces. Even Qi Youfu could hardly hide the disdain on Qi Youfu's face. Send Qi Youfu out.

"Okay, there's no need to send it away, just remember to do what the master told you to do."

Qi Youfu waved his hands impatiently, and finally walked out of the narrow courtyard quickly.If it hadn't been for the chief manager telling him to keep a low profile when he came here, he wouldn't have had to entangle with this kind of mud legs for so long.

Tsk, taking one last look at this dilapidated courtyard, Qi Youfu felt itchy all over.

Qi Youfu quickly got into the carriage parked outside the door, and a group of more than a dozen guards escorted him away quickly.When they stood at the door and couldn't even see the backs of the group of people, the smiles on the faces of the elders of the big Zhang clan and the elders of the little Zhang clan gradually disappeared.

"Fuck, what kind of shit!"

"Shh, silence!" The elder of the big Zhang clan is still the kind of person who can bear it, so when the elder of the little Zhang clan scolded directly, he hurriedly dragged people into the yard.After being pulled by the big Zhang clan elder, the Xiao Zhang clan elder also reacted quickly, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly glanced at the direction in which the group of people left, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they walked all the way to a study-like room in the courtyard.

This is the old home of the Dazhang family, and the whole yard is modeled after some big houses in the county town.There is not only a screen wall at the entrance, but the inside is also divided into two parts, the front yard and the back yard.

The female relatives and younger generations live in the backyard, and they are rarely allowed to come to the front on weekdays.The Dazhang family always lives in the front yard, anyway, he is considered to be alone, and there is no burden.

The study room was built in the corner, and there was a small round door not far outside.There are two guards outside the small round door, so the privacy of the study room has been improved a lot.

"That guy surnamed Qi is too deceitful!" After the little Zhang family elder entered the study, the whole talent released the anger in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that the study room was full of things that the old Zhang family couldn't afford to pay for, I'm afraid he really wanted to throw something to express his anger.

The anger of the elder of the Da Zhang clan is no less than that of the elder of the Xiao Zhang clan, but he is used to forbearance, so he can control himself and just sit quietly.

"To ask for all the food in our Peach Blossom Town, there is only such a small amount of money. If it wasn't for the master behind him..."

"Silence!"

The elder of the big Zhang clan let out a low growl again, which made the elder of the little Zhang clan shut his mouth abruptly.

But even if they kept their mouths shut, both of them actually knew what the little Zhang clan elder wanted to say in the end.The elder of the Dazhang clan breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly leaned back on the back of the chair.

"I'm afraid, things are more complicated than we imagined." Because of the fear caused by the guess in his heart, the voice of the Dazhang clan elder trembled slightly.

Dazhang and Xiaozhang are actually a pair of brothers, but when they were young, they had many sons in their family, and an uncle of the same clan had no sons, so the Xiaozhang was adopted.

Because that family is not only rich, but also considered a powerful family in the Zhang surname. The most important thing is that the other party doesn't mind that the old Zhang family continues to communicate with his family, so the influence of this adoption is really not big.

After that uncle died, the Xiao Zhang clan elder would naturally inherit everything in his family.From money to clan elder status.

This is how the two brothers in the Zhang family of Taohua Town are both clan elders.It is precisely because of this that on weekdays, the elders of the Xiaozhang clan have less scruples in front of the elders of the big Zhang clan.

The roar of the big Zhang clan elder just now was not because the identity of the master behind that person could not be revealed, it was purely because the Xiao Zhang clan elder shouted too loudly.

Although the small study room is well concealed, with the roar of Xiao Zhang's clan elder, I'm afraid the two servants guarding outside might really hear it.

The Xiao Zhang clan elder also realized this, so after lowering his voice, he continued to complain. "Isn't it just that the magistrate is in charge of things, and I thought I was the emperor, I think the magistrate is not a good thing if you want to embezzle such a bit of money!"

If it's just a general matter, the elders of the Xiaozhang clan wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous because of how many levels the other party's official university has.It's just that this Qi Youfu is really greedy, and he is used to digging up a few pieces of meat for everything.

Before, he was in charge of the grain purchase of the entire Nan'an City, because it was a big deal, and no one could tell that he was greedy for hundreds of taels.

But now he is in charge of Taohua Town, Qi Youfu is simply overqualified to the extreme.So in the business in this small town, he still habitually withholds a few hundred taels as his 'private money'.

For the business in the whole city, it is because the transaction volume is tens of thousands of taels, so the deduction of a few hundred taels does not show much.However, the transaction volume of the entire town in Taohua Town was only 3000 taels, and Qi Youfu withheld 800 taels.

In this way, the little Zhang clan elder and the big Zhang clan elder who are missing can only swallow the bitter fruit by themselves.With such a big loss, how can the Xiao Zhang clan not be angry?

You must know that after more than ten years, he only has a net worth of less than 5000 taels because of the Zhang family's control of Taohua Town.

How could he not be angry that such a big piece of meat was bitten off by this one bite?

The elder of the Dazhang clan took a deep breath before he stabilized his emotions. "I'm afraid, it's not just as simple as a magistrate."

"What? Bro, what are you talking about?"

The little Zhang clan elder was originally full of anger, but after hearing the muttering of the big Zhang clan elder, he still asked a question in doubt.

The elder of the Dazhang clan slowly leaned back on the chair, and his eyes became deeper. "A few years ago, we also met the magistrate from a distance. How do you think this person surnamed Qi compares with the magistrate?"

"I have never seen such a domineering servant, and I have never seen such an embarrassing servant."

"But the style of the whole body may not be comparable to that of the magistrate."

"Ah?...Ah!!" The little Zhang clan elder was shocked by the intervention of the big Zhang clan elder.Xiao Zhang's clan elder is not stupid, otherwise it would be impossible to climb to the position of clan elder just because of his adoptive father status.Taohua Town is not the same as Jianjia Village, and it is a battle to become a clan elder.

"Brother, you mean?"

The little Zhang clan elder sat down opposite the big Zhang clan elder with a shocked expression on his face, tremblingly picked up the tea on the table and took a hard sip.

"It looks like this pool of water is much deeper than we imagined." The elder of the Dazhang clan shook his head with a deep expression, making his face that could only be regarded as cunning pretend to be profound and incomprehensible. The appearance of the test, not to mention how weird it is.It's just that the person sitting across from him is the elder of the Xiao Zhang clan, who just likes his brother.

The old Zhang family thought about the people above the magistrate for a while, as long as they counted up one level, they would feel a little scared and feel bad.They dare not even offend a county magistrate, let alone a magistrate.

Even the prefect dare not offend, let alone the people above the prefect.In this way, wouldn't those shortfalls really be regarded as dumb eating coptis!

"I'm really not reconciled, so much money!"

"Heh, don't be reconciled, we can earn money back from other places." The elder of the Da Zhang clan showed a sinister smile with a cunning face.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Hearing this, the little Zhang clan elder also quickly laughed. "The one named Jane?"

"Hahaha, since the surnamed Jane has nothing, then we are doing a good deed by selling him." The elder of the Dazhang clan took a sip from the teacup on the table, as long as he thought about the money he was about to get , full of joy.

In order to divert attention from that unprovoked person surnamed Qi, the elder of the Da Zhang clan felt that he needed to do something quickly to release his pressure.

"However, last time I got nearly 4000 catties of stuff for that guy, his [-] taels of silver have already been spent."

"The previous money was spent, but didn't it start to earn again later?" The one named Jane can also make money for things that cost one tael per catty.

However, it seems that this money is also earned for them.

"But, will the person surnamed Qi allow it?" After all, the old Zhang family was a little timid, so he hesitated in the end.For this matter, the Dazhang clan elders have a lot of confidence.

"What are you afraid of? Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and beans are also the ones that the surname Qi allowed us to sell."

After hearing these words from the big Zhang clan elder, the little Zhang clan elder felt relieved.

Soon, only the voices of the two brothers whispering remained in the study.
