Chapter 1241 County respect please
Treasurer Tai slumped on the ground. After a while, his calves were shaking, and he stood up slowly with the support of shopkeeper Lu. However, after standing up, Shopkeeper Tai's calves couldn't stop shaking.
"Old...Old Lu, is what you said true or false?" Shopkeeper Tai's teeth were chattering, and he couldn't speak fluently. In fact, he knew in his heart that what Shopkeeper Lu said was true, but he still had a little fantasy, hoping It was Shopkeeper Lu who deliberately made fun of him.
"When is this, how can I lie to you!" Shopkeeper Lu is no better than shopkeeper Tai.
Life is at stake, and people like them who are rich and used to enjoying life are even more afraid of death.
Actually, when Manager Zhang in Shopkeeper Lu’s shop came back from buying food and told Shopkeeper Lu the news, Shopkeeper Lu’s performance was worse than that of Shopkeeper Tai, and he peed on his pants.
"Oh, my dear mother, this is really a disaster! Although our county magistrate is not very old, we are still capable, and we can't tolerate sand in our eyes. I'm afraid it's..."
The extravagant hope in Shopkeeper Tai's heart was completely shattered, and the whole person suddenly wailed, as if mourning.
"I'm also afraid of this." The shopkeeper Lu also had a mournful face, wanting to cry but no tears.
"What should I do..."
Treasurer Tai and Shopkeeper Lu looked at each other with sympathy for each other, almost crying on the spot.
"What do you think about our two families lowering their prices in the afternoon?" Shopkeeper Tai thought for a while and whispered to Shopkeeper Lu.
"Old Tai, you are going to die. There are so many grain merchants in our county. If the two of us break the rules, we will not be outraged. You don't have to wait for the county magistrate to do it, they can tear us up alive!"
When shopkeeper Lu heard the words, his face turned pale with fright, and he looked around in a panic, lest he would be overheard.
"Stop lowering it...it won't break the rules." Shopkeeper Tai also shrank his neck in fear.
"Old Tai, drop three melons and two jujubes! Now the price of food has risen to 1340 renminbi per stone. The original food price is only 400 renminbi per renminbi. It is not a bad rule to drop a few renminbi, but there are What's the use?! It's not the same price hike! If it drops too much, breaks the rules, and provokes public anger, it's not the same life and death!"
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head vigorously when he heard the words, and let out a long sigh, his fat face was full of sadness!
"No, let's close the store..." Shopkeeper Tai whispered with a heartache.
"Ri Jin Dou Jin, are you willing to close it?" Shopkeeper Lu squinted at Shopkeeper Tai, and said angrily.
The shopkeeper Tai immediately shook his head without hesitation, reluctant, reluctant, pretending that I didn't say what I said just now.
"Das Kapital" has a saying: Once there is an appropriate profit, capital will be very bold. As long as there is 10% profit, it will be used everywhere; 20%, it will be lively; 50%, it will cause active adventure; 100%, it will make people ignore all laws; 300% , it will make people not afraid of committing crimes, even the danger of being hanged.
Treasurer Tai and Shopkeeper Lu are like this, even if there is a risk of beheading, they are reluctant to close the door.
"Old Lu, in fact, if you want to come, we have not reached the point of death. The magistrate did not arrest and behead all the grain merchants in the city. He just found two early sheep and killed them as an example. Our two grain shops In the county town, it’s just a middle class. If we don’t get our turn, the county government can drive us grain merchants to extinction?! If so, without our grain merchants, the people in Jingnan can’t get rid of the pot! Can the county government survive? How much food is there?! Ten thousand steps back, we are really unlucky, I think we will be caught and locked up for a while.” Shopkeeper Tai thought and thought, and said to Shopkeeper Lu.
"Well, Lao Tai, I think what you said makes sense. The floods have caused food shortages in most of the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the imperial court was unable to rescue them for a while. If Jingnan wants to survive the floods, we have to rely on our grain merchants to transport food. Our county magistrate is one who cares about the common people, and it is impossible to kill them all. I think the most we can do is to catch a few top sheep, and to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys! Just push down the price of food!"
Shopkeeper Lu nodded when he heard the words, and tried to find some reasons to comfort himself.
However, even though the two said so, they didn't actually have much confidence. They looked at each other, made up their minds, and discussed in a low voice, "Why don't we both agree that a stone of grain is 5 cents cheaper than other families? , No, how about 3 papers? We don’t ask for anything else, but we just ask for someone else to be the leader.”
One stone of grain is about 150 catties. If the price of one stone of grain is reduced by 3 pennies, the price of one catty of grain will basically not be reduced.
Now that food is becoming more and more difficult to get, and the cost is getting higher and higher, they are reluctant to drop more. The lower the price, the less they earn, and the less they earn, the less competitive they are, and they worry about angering their peers.
After the two of them discussed it in this way, the feeling of constant anxiety was finally reduced a lot.
"Old Tai, it's still early, how about going to my house for a drink or two?" Shopkeeper Lu invited.
"It's rare for you, old Lu, to speak, so I won't be polite, and I will have to disturb you." Shopkeeper Tai also had this intention, and now when shopkeeper Lu opened his mouth, he responded on the spot, just in time to take the opportunity to add up the total.
Just when shopkeeper Lu and shopkeeper Tai had made an appointment to go to shopkeeper Lu's house together, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and when they looked up, they saw a group of guards trotting all the way from the street.
As soon as they saw the servants appearing, shopkeepers Tai and Lu couldn't help but have an ominous premonition!
Won't! impossible! Don't think about it!
Both shopkeepers Tai and Lu couldn't help but shook their heads, throwing the ominous premonition in their minds to the back of their minds.
"It can't be such a coincidence."
Shopkeeper Tai and Shopkeeper Lu looked at each other and said at the same time. When they found out that the other party had gone with him, they couldn't help looking at each other and laughing. They laughed at themselves for being suspicious, but also celebrated what their hero had seen. same.
While the two looked at each other and smiled, the guard walked over from the intersection and passed the two of them on the side of the road.
Neither shopkeeper Lu nor shopkeeper Tai dared to look directly at the guard. They just watched the guard from the corner of their eyes. It wasn't until the guard passed them both that they both breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts, and the smiles on their faces became brighter.
However, when the two were laughing happily, they suddenly heard a voice behind them:
"Hey, shopkeeper Tai, shopkeeper Lu, so you are here. If you hadn't heard the laughter, you would have almost missed it. It just so happens that you are together, which saves me a few extra steps. Shopkeeper Tai, shopkeeper Lu, county respect If you have, please follow us to the county government."
County respect please! County respect please! The county honors you
These four words were like a thunderbolt exploding above the heads of the two of them, completely destroying their smiles!
"Plop", "Plop"!
There were two sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and shopkeeper Tai and shopkeeper Lu collapsed to the ground one after another.
