As soon as this said, it was like pouring a can of water into hot oil, and it exploded immediately!
"What?! I bought these grains by mortgaged property! How can the governor's yamen requisition it if it is requisitioned?!"
"Yes! The Governor's Office has no reason to requisition our food! I don't agree!"
"I don't agree either! I want to unload the grain!"
Lin Xu looked at the yelling businessmen coldly and said nothing.
Song Wentang was also anxious because he raised thirty of the hundred ships of food, which he raised money. He originally wanted to make a fortune in disaster due to this flood, but he didn't expect that it was his father first.
Something happened, and now another Lin Xu appeared, saying that all these foods were requisitioned by the governor's yamen, which made him unable to bear it!
"You said the governor's yamen has requisitioned all this food, so please come up with evidence!"
Song Wentang shouted loudly!
After Song Wentang reminded him, the other businessmen also reacted!
Lin Xu is not from the Governor's Office. He said that if he requisitioned these grains, he would be requisitioned? He had to provide evidence!
Otherwise, they would never admit it!
"That's right! You have to come up with evidence!"
"We have not received a notice from the Governor's Office and will never agree with this matter!"
"I don't agree either!"
Lin Xu smiled coldly: "Do you want evidence, do you? Well, I'll give you evidence!"
After saying that, he took out a document from his arms and opened it for everyone to show it: "Look carefully!"
The merchants came over one after another, and the documents were clearly written in black and white. The Governor's Office wanted to requisition all the food anchored on the Grand Canal, and there was a red Governor's Office seal underneath!
"boom!"
Song Wentang felt a thunder in his head instantly because he recognized that the document was real, that means that the governor's yamen really wanted to requisition all of this food!
He raised all the money to buy the thirty ships of grain. In order to make more money, he even mortgaged the two big houses in his house with his father on his back!
If the governor's yamen requisitioned all of this food, he would have to pay the most!
Other businessmen are in the same mood. They all want to take the opportunity to make a disaster, so they try every means to raise funds and buy food from other provinces at a high price. In order to make more money, some people not only mortgage all their property.
Going out, even borrowing usury from others!
If all these foods are requisitioned, he will immediately become penniless and will be collected by usury at that time, and he will probably die without a place to die!
In a huge panic, all the merchants knelt down and kowtowed to mercy, hoping that Lin Xu could let them unload their food!
After all, Song Wentang is a young man from a noble family. Compared to these businessmen, he is quite strong. Not only did he not kneel down, but he also yelled: "Everyone is up, it's useless to kneel down, he is not a governor of Jiangsu! This one
He can't make the decision!"
Lin Xu smiled softly: "You are right. I really can't make the decision on this matter. I am just implementing the orders of the governor. But this food will be under my control in the future."
