Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Touching Porcelain

Liu Shiyi hurried forward, and when he saw this scene, he hurried forward, smiling, nodding and bowing, and said: "This poor man, this poor man, don't do anything, you have something to say."Animals don't have eyes The man poked his neck and scolded: Master sees that your animal really doesn't have eyes, so I won't give you a few whips. You don't know that Lord Ma beat me with three eyes, and beat this animal like a donkey for the master. call! The gentleman gave an order, and several prisoners who had just lifted a car rushed up like chicken blood, one by one fiercely, beating Liu Shiyi rolling all over the ground, wailing all over the place.

Chen Feng, Yang Ye and the others saw that these tolerances were like thieves, and the thieves were like tolerance, one by one was more fierce than the other, they stood there in fright and did not dare to approach, Ding Yuluo rushed over, and saw that they had overturned three carriages , Grain was spilled all over the street, and she was still beating and smashing it there, and it caught fire as soon as it jumped to the ground. She raised her brows and scolded coquettishly: "Stop it!" Hehe, I said it sounded like a girl, but it turned out to be a big girl. Seeing that the young man was a handsome girl disguised as a man, the official's eyes narrowed immediately: "My lady, my master is escorting the prisoner to the shallow mouth prison, this is an urgent business.It doesn’t matter if your mules are startled, look, they not only hurt my people, but also smashed so many pickle jars. If the prisoners have nothing to eat, what should you do if there is trouble?

Ding Yuluo suppressed his anger and said: "My lord, our car collided with your car, and the little girl is here to apologize to you."When a person is injured, the little girl pays for the medical expenses, and the pickle jar is broken, the little girl also compensates. I wonder if the official thinks the little girl is okay to deal with it like this? Hahaha, little lady, you are so easy to tell, you dismissed the men so easily?The gentleman's face was so ruffian that he almost wrote four big characters on his forehead: I am a hooligan. Ding Yu landed and said, "What should I do according to the official?"

The gentleman hadn't spoken yet, but a prisoner beside him said loudly: "Is there even a need to ask, as long as you sleep with us, a flamboyant little lady, then everything will be fine." Hahaha, the policemen and prisoners all laughed. When did Ding Yuluo suffer such humiliation and hear such vulgar words, her face was so red that she almost spurted blood. She became angry and shouted sharply: Is it an official or a bandit? In broad daylight, the sky is clear, and you still have to blackmail and blackmail? The messenger said with a smile on his face: "Little lady, you really said that, your master is still a bandit in official clothes, what's the matter?"It was you who provoked me, not the master, I provoked you, you knocked the master off his feet, and wanted to walk after throwing down two ingots of silver?There is no such reason in the world.

The duty of guarding exiled prisoners in the Northwest region usually has little lucrative income. The duties are complicated and heavy, and the salary is meager. It is difficult to support the family only by the salary. They try their best to make money.I usually see some small merchants passing by, and they have to find a way to blackmail them by touching porcelain. After the autumn trial every year, these policemen colluded with the prisoners who were sentenced to severe sentences, promising to give them generous treatment in prison in the future, and then taking advantage of the opportunity of transferring to prison, they deliberately found gaps during the escort and defrauded others of their money. If they dared to resist and disobey, they sent people to order a group of desperadoes to rob and commit murder. The northwest region is sparsely populated, and those business travelers were not locals. If it is pushed to the prisoner, this wrangling lawsuit will be endless.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, if the robbed person does not have a prominent background, the local officials are unwilling to investigate it deeply, so the trend of touching porcelain has intensified. After repeated successes, the escorts have become more and more reckless. .Seeing that the Ding family's convoy is very large today, these policemen didn't intend to blackmail them, but now that the Ding family ran into them first, there is no reason for these ruffians not to hit them hard. Miss Ding is slim and graceful, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and she has a unique charm when she frowns and smiles. The policeman has rarely seen such a full-bodied girl, and the more he looks at it, the more itchy he feels in his heart. He had a good time, but it was beautiful in his heart to take advantage of his tongue, so the angrier Ding Yuluo was, the more proud he was.

Seeing his young lady being humiliated, Liu Shiyi stood aside with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and boldly said: "My lord, our grain is transported to Guangyuan, and it was delayed for a long time. I'm afraid you are also responsible for it. It's our fault." , just pay you some money, how can you be so deceptive? Hearing the threat in his words, the gentleman couldn't help being furious, pointing his halberd and scolding: "You grain merchants are the most heartless, you buy at a low price, and sell at a high price."There are people who are devoid of conscience, and also mix chaff and sand in the grain, but when there is a natural disaster, they will accumulate it and live in it. Yuli, now the frontier army is suppressing me. I don't know which military master escorted your army rations. Please come back and show Bendu!

All of them scolded, Liu Shishi's face turned blushing, and he couldn't make a sound. If you want to make big profits by selling grain, it is inevitable to stockpile and live in strange places.As for the government's purchase of military rations, a time-evaluation system was implemented at that time, and the government convened local guild merchants to jointly review and determine the purchase price every ten days.These merchants bribed tooth dealers, government officials, and middle sellers, set the price high, and deliberately refused to accept the goods of other grain transporters, forcing them to sell to local merchants at a low price.

When encountering a military incident, many merchants are even more proud of their food, hoarding it, forcing the government to raise prices to buy it.In the event of a natural disaster, many households with surplus food would immediately close their purchases, close their warehouses, and drive up prices in order to take advantage of the famine to annex the land of the poor. The Ding family was able to become rich in just 20 to 30 years from nothing. In addition to Ding Chengxun, the master of the Ding family, who is shrewd and has a unique vision, he also received the help of the weather. When Ding Tingxun was storing food for sale, it was a time when natural disasters and bandits were both serious. Thousands of miles away, the people were displaced, and corpses were everywhere. When the disaster was the worst, two gold ingots could be exchanged for three buns from those who had food.It was at this time that the Ding family jumped up, bought tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and became the richest man in Bazhou.

Primitive accumulation is bloody, and Ding Tingxun is still a decent person. If so, others can imagine.Later generations often lament that people's hearts are not ancient, but they don't know how much they know about the real behavior and moral standards of the ancients?Unexpectedly, there were some high-minded people among the ancients, and there are great books about it in history books, but in fact there were more unrighteous people, and because the system at that time was more imperfect than it is now, the profiteers in ancient times were more harmful than those in modern times.

It is precisely because Ding Chengxun is familiar with many ways in the grain trade that he trades with the frontier army. He will never raise or lower the price, and will always carry the army grain exclusively at a neutral price. By means of contracting, the military will pre-loan the grain and let them Exclusive Carrier.The generals of the Guangyuan frontier army suffered from the fact that the subordinate staff made too much profit from it, and it was really impossible to manage it, so they designated the Ding family, which had a vast area of ​​land, as the exclusive grain merchant, reducing many intermediate links and saving a lot of military expenses. Now the grain of the Ding family is going to be shipped to Guangyuan to sell to the military, but they only obtained the monopoly right to manage the grain through their personal relationship with the generals of the frontier army. It is said that the army will not send escorts, and they do not have various privileges during transportation.That Dutou is a local subordinate, how can he not know the reason, Liu Shiyi's name of military rations is frightening, but it annoys him. Ding Yuluo raised his eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "Then Yiguan, how to solve this matter?" It was the first time for him to see this big girl who was mild-tempered and flirtatious, with a flirtatious charm, and she was so light-headed that she was so light-hearted. Under the coaxing of her companions and prisoners, she flirtatiously hooked Ding Yuluo's chin with her hands, and smiled. Authentic way: Master Ben was startled by mules and horses, and he couldn't think of a suitable solution for a while, so why not accompany Master Ben to have a drink or two, let's sit down and talk slowly. Seeing that he was so frivolous, Miss Ding was really annoyed. She swept down the whip in her hand and hit the back of his hand with a slap. With a cry of pain, the two eyebrows stood up, and when the four criminals saw Brother Tolerance being beaten, they immediately rushed forward and surrounded Ding Yuluo in the middle.
