Different World Development Manual Chapter 56: The gentry’s counterattack
Prefect.
Bailongcheng gentry and landlord representatives are gathering in the deliberation hall of the Taishou Mansion.
The squires and landlords were sitting on the chairs in the chamber, drinking tea, and pulling the parents' shorts, but they were not in a hurry for the white dragon city prefect Miqian not showing up.
Let him be an ostrich. Regardless of this matter, Taishou Mi must give an explanation.
The money in the back hall was also pacing back and forth, and the master book next to it cautiously said: "Master prefect, Master Brando and Master Tao Ye have been waiting in the chamber for two hours. If you drag it on like this, it’s not a problem. The way.
The locust plague that broke out last month has just gone, and the food shortage in White Dragon City is huge.
We now need to rely on these gentry in the city, otherwise it will be difficult to handle civil commotion. "
One month ago, the appearance of the locust plague caused a tragic blow to the agriculture in this area of White Dragon City. All the food that was about to grow was eaten up by the locusts.
I don’t know who the rumors circulated, saying that the food on the market has also been bought by the Huaxia people, causing the people in the entire area of White Dragon City to panic about the shortage of food.
As a result, food prices have risen steadily, and they can't be contained for a while.
The granary in White Dragon City had long been sold to Chinese merchants and landlords because of their own misappropriation, and they were exchanged for currency to fill their own pockets.
But now it's time to use it, but it's impossible to open the warehouse for food.
Faced with the problem of insufficient food, the money has also grown.
Although the Chinese merchants brought in one ship after another of grain, the rumored White Dragon City was also very unfriendly to these Chinese businessmen.
Various rumors are flying around, and there are different opinions about the occurrence of the locust plague.
It was said that the locust plague was caused by the fact that these Chinese people bought away the furry food, which caused the locust **** to have no offerings. This locust plague was launched to warn the empire.
And now that the Huaxia people bring back the grain again, it is completely hypocritical.
It is even sold to Maorong at a high price, earning huge profits.
In the eyes of the people in White Dragon City, China bought the food in White Dragon City at a low price, then took advantage of the fire, and sold it back to White Dragon City at a high price.
This is tolerable, which is unbearable.
The second reason for the occurrence of the locust plague is that the railways and highways built by the Chinese people, as well as various factories, farms, and plantations, destroyed the furry Feng Shui.
Feng Shui, whether in Huaxia or Furry, is believed by people.
Together with the Taoists, warlocks, and storytellers who wander the rivers and lakes, Feng Shui is said to have noses and eyes.
God knows how these rumors came up. In short, because of this locust plague, dissatisfaction with the Chinese people has also arisen in the city.
At this juncture, Miqian is even more afraid to buy food from Huaxia.
If a hat of colluding with outsiders is buckled, the money is probably hard to protect.
Now if you want to get food, probably, the only way is to rely on the gentry in the Chamber.
Mi Qian sighed, and said, "Okay, let me go to the chamber for a look."
For a while, a sharp voice came from the door of the chamber: "The prefect is here--"
The gentry holding tea, turned their heads, saw the prefect Mi with a smile on his face, and walked out of the inner room briskly, looking at everyone, and repeatedly said: "Everyone, government affairs, delay , It was delayed."
The gentry hummed and smiled in their hearts: "That's okay. If you delay it, you will delay it for 2 hours."
Lao, the gentry representative, said: "The prefect always takes care of everything, and everything should be government affairs."
Lao was the main representative of this group of gentry. He had obtained fame before, but was dismissed because he stood on the wrong team and his own behavior was disorderly.
After returning to his hometown of Bailongcheng, he became an important figure among the gentry of Bailong Chen because of his small fame, and he became the pen of this group of gentry.
Premier Mi rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "It's rude, it's rude, everyone, please sit down."
After the representatives of the gentry took their seats, Mi Qian continued to say: "I don't know what is going on here."
Although Miqian knew what this group of gentry was going to do, he still pretended not to know.
At this time, a man named Tao Ye among the gentry arched his hands and said: "Master Prefect, I am waiting for this time to come, hoping that Master Prefect will be able to slay the demon and slay demons and confuse the White Dragon City and cause all the locust disasters Clean it up."
Mi Qian's brows twitched slightly, and as expected, this group of gentry directly pointed the finger at the Huaxia people.
Prefect Mi asked: "What do you mean?"
Tao Ye is the largest landlord in Bailong City and here, he said directly: "Building railways, building roads, building ports, building factories, setting up farms, planting gardens, these all greatly endanger the furry and destroy the furry feng shui. , Which caused the locust **** to get angry and brought down today’s disaster to me.
Iron is used to make farm tools and weapons, but Huaxia people use it to build roads, which is against ethics.
What's the difference between the unheard of monsters like asphalt and cement to build roads?
The port of White Dragon City is even more used by Huaxia people. Is it furry or Huaxia?
Prospering factories, running farms, and planting gardens. These Chinese people use money as a temptation to lure the farmers away from our land, so that there are no farmers on our land to grow crops, resulting in large tracts of wasteland. Appear, these are the culprits of this locust plague.
Huaxia people used this locust plague hypocritically to sell food to us at high prices. This is obviously taking advantage of the fire.
Lord Prefect, please give me a lesson. "
Master Lao also said: "Premier, Bailongcheng must investigate and deal with Huaxia’s factories, farms, and plantations. The construction of railways and roads must be stopped, and the port must be demolished.
Otherwise, the wrath of the locust **** may break out again.
I can't afford to wait for the people of Bailongcheng! "
"This..."
It is a bit unexpected for the gentry to force the palace so hard, but it is not the Huaxia people who sell the most grain in White Dragon City, but the cultivation of such big landlords.
They hoarded grain, and during this period of time, they increased the price of grain, and sold the grain bit by bit, squeezing the small amount of money from the people of White Dragon City.
Just the news that Miqian knew about it, just if these gentry would take out the food stored at home and sell it a little.
Not only will Bailongcheng's food prices be suppressed, but the losses caused by this locust plague will also be greatly eased.
It's just that Miqian knew that these guys wouldn't do this, and on the cusp of the storm, he didn't dare to buy food from Huaxia.
After hesitating for a while, Mi Qian said: “This is a rule of the imperial court. Bailong City is a trading port. The Chinese people have the right to open factories, farms and docks here, as well as the right to build railways, roads and ports, because they have to deal with Datong. The group of Demon Kings on the Continent called Lucia."
The opening of the White Dragon City is largely due to the two old drama bones of China and Lucia.
However, it is very urgent for the gentry to become Chinese merchants, because they did not open factories and workshops, and did not become merchants.
They, the gentry who are bound by the land, the traditional furry class, naturally bear the brunt of the harm in this era of drastic changes.
Master Brand said coldly at this time: "Master Prefect, Chinese people do have the right to do these things in White Dragon City.
But under this premise, they must strictly abide by the rules of the White Dragon City.
What if they don't follow the rules of White Dragon City, what if they open factories and farms on the surface, but secretly engage in illegal activities?
Also ask the prefect to investigate and investigate. This group of people who caused the locust plague will definitely not be so clean. "
Branding means to let the money start from the word "illegal". For example, you did not have a business license, for example, you did not have a food business license, for example, you did not pass the fire control audit, for example, your sanitary conditions did not meet the standard. For example, your additives are overdose.
All you need to do is to check the relevant government office in White Dragon City, check him out one, two, three, four, five, and label it as an illegal business, and just seize it directly.
Tao Ye also agreed with his hand: "Master Raising Your Hand, I am not a gentry, and I am willing to help Master Raising Your Hand~IndoMTL.com~ to solve the culprit that caused this locust plague.
Although I don’t have any food left for the landlord’s house, I’m still willing to donate a little to help the prefect and stabilize the price of White Dragon City.
At the same time, we will also provide a little bit of hard work for the government officials. We only hope that the government officials can find out the illegality as soon as possible. "
The gentry promised benefits to Miqian, and Miqian immediately saw the hope of quelling the locust plague in White Dragon City.
It's just that I want to offend the Huaxia people, which makes Mi Qian fall into hesitation.
However, considering the indignation of White Dragon City against the Huaxia people at this time, Mi Qian had to accept the conditions put forward by the gentry, first stabilize the situation in White Dragon City, and then pay the Huaxia people later.
Mi Qian nodded and slowly said: "I will ask someone to find out about the ‘illegal’ business activities.
As for the locust plague in White Dragon City, please help me. "
"Master Taishou, of course, I am also a member of White Dragon City."
