Chapter 1298 Stealing chickens will not lose rice
Xing Long's old face twitched, his body shaking, and he was about to fall. If someone next to him hadn't seen something wrong and helped him hold it, he would have fallen to the ground.
The Xing family had a great prestige in Xiguan. Before the Xiliang people invaded east, they could only look up to the seven surnames of Xiguan.
However, after the people of Xiliang broke through the pass, the Xing clan evacuated very quickly and took away a large number of assets. On the contrary, the seven surnames of Xiguan had great business and had difficulty evacuating for a while and suffered heavy losses.
Sixty-seven out of ten major households in Xiguan have suffered heavy losses, but the Xing family suffered little damage. After the war, they returned to their hometown, took back their land and found grain. The harvest this year is quite good.
The seven surnames in Xiguan suffered heavy losses, and the vitality of the Xing clan has not been damaged, and the other has declined. The Xing clan has become a large clan that can be vaguely comparable to the seven surnames in Xiguan. There is even a family force among the seven surnames in Xiguan that cannot match the Xing clan. Because of this, the Xing clan is ambitious and wants to rebuild clan order in Xiguan after the war.
The opening of the trade farm gave the Xing family hope. The entire Xing family was actually making preparations and immediately went outside the pass after the trade farm was completed.
Originally, hundreds of people came to intercept Chu Huan this time, and the Xing clan felt that it would not be of great benefit to the clan by snatching the position and making a name for himself. However, Xinglong hoped to use this opportunity to enhance the prestige of the Xing clan. If he led everyone to force Chu Huan successfully, then the Xing clan's reputation among the gentry in the entire Xiguan Road will definitely increase greatly. For a family with ambition to become a major clan in Xiguan, this is of course a great thing. Although there are certain risks, Xinglong still stood up after repeated measurements.
But he never expected that such a result would end up being the result.
He really didn't expect that Chu Huan would take advantage of this opportunity to ban the power of Xing's clan's trade outside the pass. This was undoubtedly a huge disaster for the clan's situation.
Xing Long felt his mind blank and his lips flashed, but he couldn't speak.
At this moment, not only Xing Long, but also the gentry who signed the complaint were all shocked and covered in dust. However, those who did not sign tried their best to hide their gloating expressions.
More people are glad in their hearts and think that it is really dangerous. If they lose the opportunity to trade for food, it will be really not worth the loss.
Many people thought that Chu Huan said it in time. If it was a little late, I was afraid that many people would come forward to sign. Some shrewd people felt in their hearts that Chu Huan suddenly showed his trump card at this time, which was the time to calculate the time. Although a group of gentry had to sign the complaint to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, they could not see everyone signing. There were too many people signing, which was not good for Chu Huan. At this time, there were only twenty or thirty signings, which was just right and enough to have the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
"By the way, I almost forgot that since everyone is here, I have something to do, I will tell you clearly." Chu Huan held the reins of the horse and leaned forward slightly. "Everyone said before that your food must not only repay the debt, but also support your family. This is something that I can understand. After returning to Shuoquan, I will issue an order that all the repayment of debts will be repaid instead of grain, and everything will be repaid at the market price. If the other party accepts it, you can use the grain to hand over the grain to the Ministry of Revenue Department. The Ministry of Revenue Department will pay the same price of new salt for you to repay the debt. Of course, this governor will also issue another order. In Xiguan, not only will the outflow of grain be prohibited, but also strictly prohibited from responsibilities.
Who is conducting grain transactions in private name? All grain transactions in Xiguan can only be controlled by the government. Anyone conducting grain trade privately. If the light is insignificant, the food will be confiscated plus a fine. If the heavy is... "I waved my hand and said, "It's better not to say it. As for the food price in Xiguan and want to make money in the difficult times of Xiguan, I will explain here that if there is one, kill one, and you will never tolerate it. I don't know if anyone among you has this idea. If not, they will be at peace. If there is no one, I will advise you to give up this idea. I can tolerate you not cooperating with the government and not lending grain to the government, but I will never allow anyone to make trouble in Xiguan!"
At this moment, Xing Long and others who signed the letter were even more ashamed, and some even showed anger in their eyes.
The purpose of these people signing is to store their own food, and the purpose of storing food is ultimately to be able to gain greater benefits.
Xiguan is short of food. As we all know, if you lend food to the government after a year, the interest you get is very small, and the gentry doesn't take it seriously at all. For them, if the food is in their hands and borrowed for a year, Xiguan is still in a serious shortage of food. The price of food will definitely be astonishing. At the critical moment, if you secretly take the food in your hands, the profit you will get will be more than ten times the interest you give to the government.
But Chu Huan was already very clear at this moment, telling everyone clearly that Xiguan would prohibit private transactions of grain and prohibit raising the price of grain.
It can be seen that Chu Huan is not scaring everyone, but is ready to crack down on private grain transactions to raise food prices.
These signers were banned from the power of leaving the customs trade, which was like five thunders thunder. At this time, Chu Huan released another killer move, and the group of people were suddenly dissipated.
If grain cannot be sold at a high price, and if the grain is kept in your hands, it will not be able to make the planned profits. Although it is no big deal to put grain in the warehouse, it cannot be sold at a high price, but it loses the power to trade in customs. This is undoubtedly a loss of rice if it is stealing chickens.
Chu Huan straightened his body with no expression, "I know that after the orders of this governor are issued, there will be people who hate this governor, and even want to kill it quickly... It doesn't matter, I have never thought of leaving alive since the first day I stepped into Xiguan. To be honest, there are many people who want to kill this governor, but until now, I am still alive, but as long as I want to live, I will not let him live happily as long as I live." After a pause, my expression was cold, "I am not a good official, but I ask myself, even if I want to do what I want to do, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of me, I am not afraid. I am not only governing Xiguan, but not only
You must consider the interests of ordinary people and also consider your interests. Perhaps you will suffer some small losses because of certain government orders, but the small losses will bring you big benefits. This is the one thing that I dare to guarantee. I said so much, but in fact there is only one meaning. If you are willing to cooperate with the orders issued by the governor, I believe that you will enjoy the benefits sooner or later. However, if you refuse to cooperate with the government, I will not care. But you don’t care about the government. Don’t blame the government for not caring about you... If someone is dissatisfied with the governor and wants to deal with the governor openly and secretly, you might as well let go and give it a try. The governor is always welcome!"
After Chu Huan said something, everyone was already taking a breath of air conditioning.
Chu Huan did not show off his official accent, but was like a genius. Some words that should have been placed under the table were not jealous of saying them in public, but speaking them like this would be even more intimidating.
As soon as someone touched Chu Huan's gaze, he felt a chill all over his body.
For a moment, Chu Huan's expression calmed down and he smiled: "What should I say, I have already made it clear. Who else wants to sign? Hurry up!"
At this time, no one dared to go forward to sign the autograph. Instead, Xing Long stepped forward with a jealous look: "Governor General is talented and has a long-term vision. Little mouse is short-sighted and ashamed. Governor General General, Little Old is willing to lend 80% of the harvest to the government. If the interest is paid, Little Old Old will not receive any money..."
"I have no time to deal with this matter." Before Xinglong finished speaking, Chu Huan said lightly: "You have brought someone to sue the head of the Ministry of Revenue Department, and signed the complaint. If you withdraw the lawsuit, you will wait for the Ministry of Justice to slander the imperial officials, and the crime will be handled by the Ministry of Justice. This governor said that if you have given you a chance, you will not make any trouble. Since you have signed the letter, this governor will not ask you for another piece of food." He raised his head and said loudly: "Everyone, winter is coming and spring is coming, and the time for spring plowing is getting closer and closer, and time cannot tolerate us to delay. If you are interested in lending grain to the government, this governor hopes that you will pay the grain to the government warehouse as soon as possible. When the time passes, if you want to borrow grain, the government will not collect it."
The gentry who had no signatures were very happy. They wanted to escape the disaster and were very happy. Someone shouted loudly: "Governor, the villain will go back to count the warehouse now, hand over the deposited grain bill to the local government, and then send the grain to the official warehouse, so that the spring plowing will never delay the planting."
For a moment, everyone expressed that after going back, they would hurry up and do a good job of counting the grain, and they also promised to send the grain to the official warehouse in the shortest time.
Those who signed the letter had different expressions, some were confused, some were painful, some were unaware of what they were doing, some had empty eyes, and some were filled with resentment in their eyes.
Chu Huan signaled Qi Hong to send the complaint over, glanced, stacked it carefully, put it in his arms, and said nothing more. With a wave of his hand, Qi Hong had already led people to open the way in front of him. Everyone dodged and flashed out of the way. Chu Huan did not speak, rode on the horse, without squinting, led the team through the crowd without looking back. Soon, the horse galloped, and the team turned into a small dot in the snow all over the sky until it finally disappeared.
The gentry who did not sign the signature did not delay and ignored Xing Long and others. They were in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, and they went back, while Xing Long and others stood there blankly, silent.
After a long time, someone asked Xing Long carefully: "What should we do now? The food must not be sold anymore. Our names are all on it. Even if Chu Huan doesn't stare at others, he will definitely stare at us."
"What else can I do?" someone said angrily: "I didn't think of opposing it. It was you who were noisy day and night. Now it's better, even the trade will not be possible."
For a moment, they argued with each other and became a sound. Xing Long hunched his body, staring at Chu Huan's direction away, and ignored everyone's arguments. He just muttered in a low voice: "I can only ask for the seven surnames of Xiguan, and I can't lose the customs clearance certificate for the trade of leaving the customs!"
