Chapter 112 The Son of Merchants Fights the World 12
The sky is blue and the weather is getting warmer.
Zhang County, which was quiet due to a heavy snowfall, has returned to its former bustle. In winter, without busying with farm work, the peasants who are idle at home come to the county early to find work and earn some pocket money to subsidize their families.
Ever since Yan Ying was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhang County by the emperor, the local magistrates have been very enthusiastic about Yan Ying. Yan Ying was too lazy to deal with these officials, so she took her second brother out to inspect the property.
The two had just walked through a main street, and the expressions on their faces were not very good.
Although Zhang County is a small county, its geographical environment is very good, extending in all directions, and the soil is fertile. It can be regarded as a relatively wealthy county in Shu.
Unexpectedly, refugees who escaped from the disaster can be seen everywhere on the street. They are disheveled, earth-colored, skinny, staring at passers-by with empty eyes, as if they are waiting to die.
There were also quite a few old and weak women and children huddled together, and the slightest strange sound could make them feel panicked, watching their surroundings nervously and warily.
Yan Mo frowned and said, "Didn't the imperial court distribute money and food for disaster relief? Why are there so many refugees?"
Yan Ying narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, and said with a sneer: "The disaster relief money and rations from the imperial court have been distributed, but how many taels of silver are left after being exploited by the officials layer by layer and filling their pockets? In the end, it ended up in the hands of the victims. I’m afraid there’s not even a single grain of rice.”
If they can survive, who wants to leave their hometown and become a refugee.
When the grain store arrived, Yan Ying saw the people vying to line up and almost fought over a catty of rice. Not long after, the price of rice had risen several times, but the number of people queuing up not only did not decrease, but increased.
At the entrance of the grain shop, there were two mighty and strong men, eight feet tall, square-shaped faces, broad shoulders and broad backs. The most eye-catching thing was the two horses behind them.
Dressed in plain clothes, with a weapon pinned to his waist, from time to time reveals a soul-stirring radiance.
"These are two members of the army." With just one glance, Yan Ying judged that they were either veterans or major generals.
Xing Jiang went up to buy grain, saw that the price of the grain store had risen again, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "The price of grain was clearly still [-] yuan, but now it is [-] yuan when it comes to me? Are you bullying me? know numbers"
When the clerk saw his waist, he didn't dare to choke, and immediately laughed and said: "Don't dare to lie to the strong man, the young one is just a clerk, the price is set by the shopkeeper, and the young one dare not make the decision."
Xing Jiang sneered, pulled out the long sword at his waist and said, "If you can't be the master, then ask the shopkeeper to come out. The price of food in Sichuan has always been the highest at about 25 yuan. There are countless refugees in the county. They can't eat enough. You are about to die of starvation, but now you are a small grain store, but you have increased the price of grain by more than half, distributing people's wealth, earning black-hearted money, and being rich and unkind, it is really unreasonable."
The man was terrified of being pressed against his head by the sword, he shook his legs and said, "The strong man spares his life, the shopkeeper is not here today!"
Xing Jiang was furious when he heard the words: "I'm discussing the matter with you, but you are pretending to evade. Do you really think that this will be so easy to deceive? If the shopkeeper is not here, then call your master's house. If you can't call someone, a certain house will not leave today. up"
The guy was picked up with one hand, and he was about to cry because of Xing Jiang's aura, the shopkeeper is really not there, strong man, I'm just a part-time worker, please let me go.
"Speak slowly if the strong man has anything to say, and let go of the buddy first." Yan Ying stepped forward and showed a kind smile.
Xing Jiang was slightly taken aback, looking at the young man's attire in front of him, he didn't look like a mortal at first glance, but like a banished immortal, and immediately realized that this might be a nobleman.
Although he is a rough man, he still respects scholars very much.
"Xing Jiang, a man from Kuizhou, who do you dare to ask?"
After returning the gift, Yan Ying said with a smile: "Yan Ying in Xiazhang County is also the owner of the Black Heart Grain Shop you mentioned."
As soon as Yan Ying finished speaking, she saw that Xing Jiang's eyes had become unfriendly, and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows shot out an extremely fierce and fierce aura.
Two people stood facing each other, one was a modest gentleman, like a spring breeze, and the other was a rough warrior, with a strong Kongwu.
From the looks of it, the literati must be the ones who suffer the most.
But before Yan Ying could make a move, I saw Yan Mo flashing out from behind with swift movements, standing upright in front of his elder brother, even though Xing Jiang was a head taller than him, he was not afraid at all, and he had the momentum to fight at any time if he disagreed .
"Boy, how courageous"
Originally, Xing Jiang just wanted to scare the shopkeeper and adjust the food price back. He did not expect to meet Yan Mo here, who is still a practicing family. Seeing Lie Xinxi at the moment, he wanted to make gestures for a while. He just happened to look at this How about the boy's way.
Yan Mo held on to his innate supernatural powers, faced Xing Jiang's temptation, and fought resolutely, but his flamboyant fists and embroidered legs were no match for a general, and he was defeated after three moves.
I saw that at the gate of the grain store, a strong man held a young man in one hand and ruthlessly oppressed him with force, or beat him unilaterally.
Yan Ying couldn't help covering her face: "My brother is so miserable."
Originally, he was in a bad mood because he resigned and returned home in a fit of anger, and he was suffocated because of the bullying of the grain store. Now after beating Yan Mo severely, he felt much better.
Just about to ask Yan Ying about the price of grain, he saw that the child who was beaten by him like a sandbag was not discouraged at all, but his eyes were shining brightly, and he turned around and hugged his thigh tightly and shouted: "Master, please be respected by the apprentice!" "
Yan Mo hugged his master's thigh tightly and didn't let go. He was very excited. He was good at martial arts, but his father didn't support him. He only learned the red-tasseled spear from the bodyguard who came and went, which is considered invincible in Zhang County.
But this one in front of him has broken his moves in three moves, and even suppressed him in all aspects. He is really too strong.
Now that he finally ran into a martial arts master, he couldn't let him slip away.
After I learn all your box-pressing skills in the future, I will definitely be able to overwhelm you!
Xing Jiang: ...
Yan Ying: ...
The housekeeper and shopkeeper heard that someone was making trouble at the grain store, and when they arrived with their servants, they saw the second young master begging for nothing and begging a rough and strong man to ask for a teacher.
And the young master helplessly stood by and watched the farce.
Yan Ying coughed dryly, and the butler came back to his senses: "What's the young master's order?"
Yan Ying looked at those refugees and said, "Housekeeper, I want to take out all the money that has cheated the Han family, build a porridge shed in the name of my father, open a kindergarten, save and treat thousands of people, raise children, and promote the benevolence and righteousness of the Yan family in Sichuan." "
After the housekeeper was slightly startled, he said: "Young master is very kind"
In the grain shop, Yan Ying took a sip of the warm water cup, put it down in an orderly manner, looked out the window calmly, and said in her heart: "The cold winter is coming, great chaos is about to break out, feudal lords are fighting, wars continue, Sichuan and Shu In a rich place, if the Yan family does not have a certain amount of security force, it will be a mermaid."
"If you want to protect yourself, the only way is self-improvement!"
But self-improvement, to what extent can one be called strong?
Find a hero and prince to claim his master, and then become someone else's pocketbook and work for others?
no -
Govern Zhangxian County like an iron bucket, occupying one-third of an acre of land?
neither—
There is a saying: When the country is in chaos, loyal generals will be born, treacherous ministers will be born in a long time, filial sons will be born from poor families, and heroes will be born in troubled times.
Even though Lu Bu, the first fierce general, was a slave of the three surnames, he repeated his cunning and cunning, but he was right in one sentence:
"A real man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live under the people for a long time!!!"
Yan Ying has always been a person with a strong purpose, but her personality is too easy-going, which seems to be very contradictory, but it blends in her strangely.
In the past, Yan Ying was methodical and never had any ambitions or desires, but this time, she allowed her ambitions to grow wildly, because now she has an opportunity to compete with others on the same stage.
Men's clothing is her best protective color.
Who said: This world can only be brought down by men?
"Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, all living beings, if you can stand on the highest place under the sky and overlook the various forms of the world, what would it be like?"
