Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 73
Zhang Shun looked at the torn IOU on the ground and choked again.

Qin Feng looked around and saw that there were a lot of people gathered, so he stood up and said directly to the county residents: "Everyone has also seen it. This time, we can only pay 3 sen for the grain collection, and the remaining 12 ren We have to wait until next autumn harvest."

"Everyone, the county will personally write the IOUs, sign and draw a deposit, and use their personal official positions as guarantees. Everyone can rest assured."

Listening to Qin Feng's words, several squires sneered and shook their heads.

Only 5 qian for 3 shi of grain, and a year to wait for the rest. Only a fool would be fooled by such a deceptive lie.

"I see that Qin Feng can't collect even one stone of grain!"

"I think so too!"

"I knew it was tricky a long time ago. Fortunately, we are smart and know to try him. Now that his true face is exposed in front of everyone, who will trust him?"

"Let's go, let's wait until he can't pay the food tax, and he will kneel down in front of us and cry poorly."

"At that time, let's reject him severely, hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

A group of squires laughed loudly and ran away.

But the reality is not the same as they imagined.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, the nearby county residents fell into discussion.

"It turns out that the three coins and one stone will be given only next year..."

"Oh, I thought I'd get it then."

"But it's not impossible to give it next year. The key is...whether you can trust it."

"Of course you can trust it. Master Qin, a master of Qingtian, defeated the Sino-Japanese War, wiped out bandits, and devoted himself to serving the people. What can't be trusted? I can trust it!"

"Well, I can trust it too! It's just that I don't have much money at home, otherwise, I have to sell more."

"Our family has saved two taels of silver in five years. After careful calculation, it is more cost-effective to buy grain and sell it to Mr. Qin. If you buy 2 shi of grain for 10 taels of silver, next year, Mr. Qin will give you a total of 3 taels of silver. One or two!"

"That's right, Mr. Qin signed and pledged. There is nothing to worry about. There are so many people in our county, it is impossible for him to cheat us. Isn't he afraid that tens of thousands of us will sue the state together?"

"That's the reason! I'm going to Mr. Zhang's house to buy food."

"I am coming too!"

The people only discussed for a while, and then acted.

This result is inevitable.

Although Qin Feng has not traveled here for a long time, the two major events he has done recently have already regained the hearts of the common people in Ninghai County.

Although the 3 qian silver is indeed a little less, it does not delay every family's eating this year, and in one year, the value of this tael of silver can exceed half of the value increase. The common people have calculated it, and it is still a good deal.

The citizens of Ninghai County are mostly ignorant, simple and honest ordinary people, who usually have no chance to make any investment or gain any income. This time Qin Feng collected grain, it was an investment for them.

When the squires considered the issue, they proceeded from their own point of view, and they couldn't even imagine how eager these common people were for making money.

Ever since, that day, the grain shop in Zhang Shun's house was crowded with people.

The subordinates reported the situation to Zhang Shun, which surprised Zhang Shun.

"How is it possible? Those ordinary people are so stupid?"

"This villain doesn't know, the villain only knows that the grain store is about to be emptied... There are still many people clamoring to buy grain, so I came to ask the big officials if they opened the big warehouse, Move some out and sell them?"

"This……"

Zhang Shun frowned.

He doesn't care whether the common people are losing money or not. What he cares about is that the common people bought grain to sell to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng has purchased enough grain, so can't the grain tax be paid smoothly?

How can this work?

Opening a warehouse to sell grain, on the contrary, followed Qin Feng's wishes!

"No hurry, wait for me to think about it carefully."

Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, and ordered his subordinates to say: "Go and call Mr. Hu, Mr. Guo, and several other squires here!"

"Yes! The villain retire!"

After a while, Hu Lai and other squires all came to Zhang Shun's house.

"Didn't it just break up, why did you call us to come over again? What's the matter? My grain store is busy!"

"Yeah, I'm also busy selling grain. The grain sold today is almost enough to sell more than the previous month. Mr. Zhang, don't delay me getting rich!"

"Quickly speak up, why did you call me over again?"

several country gentlemen asked.

"Oh! You are so confused!"

Zhang Shun briefly explained the situation and gave his own suggestion: "I called everyone here just to remind everyone that we must be united. This year, none of us will be able to open warehouses to sell grain! Otherwise, Let Qin Feng pass the test!"

When the squires heard this, their faces became serious.

It seemed that what Zhang Shun said was true.

They finally found the opportunity to watch Qin Feng's jokes, how could they help him indirectly?
But if, according to what Zhang Shun said, the grain store didn't sell grain, how much less money would they make this year?
This is all white money!
For a moment, everyone was caught in a tangle and did not immediately agree to Zhang Shun's request.

Zhang Shun looked at it and became anxious: "What? Don't you just focus on immediate interests and forget what Qin Feng has done to us? His teeth have been knocked out, so why don't you help him?"

The squires were even more entangled, which is more important, making money or taking revenge?These money-greedy guys are really difficult to distinguish for a while.

Hu Lai also considered Zhang Shun's words, pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Zhang, according to my opinion, the grain is still sold well."

"Why?"

Hu Lai stroked his beard and analyzed: "If you don't sell grain this year, if new grain comes out next year, there will be a backlog of grain, and the price of grain will inevitably drop. In the long run, you will only lose money."

"On the contrary, it was Qin Feng who collected the grain, which gave us a chance to sell more grain. I did the math just now. Qin Feng wanted to pay more than 4 taels of silver if he wanted to collect the grain. You can make money in just a few days, even if we share it equally, it will be more than 4000 taels!"

The squires all stared and nodded, agreeing with Hu Lai's statement.

You can earn a few thousand taels in a few days, which is a good deal.

Zhang Shun raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "But Qin Feng only paid 5 shi for taking 1 shi! If he cheats and refuses to give the rest next year, what should he do?"

"Mr. Zhang is confused! We are not selling to Qin Feng, but to the people. If the county people buy us 5 shi, they will have to give us 5 shi. As for whether Qin Feng will play tricks next year, wait with me. What does it matter? The people who will suffer will only be the people of Ninghai County!"

"When the time comes, people's complaints will boil over, and it will be even more of a headache for Qin Feng than not being able to pay the grain tax!"
