The only thing that can make these country gentlemen and ladies go so crazy and block people on the street is grain matters.
Except for the part of the grain that the government controlled, the other part was in the hands of the squires, and the rest was not allowed to buy or sell grain.
It is precisely because of this that the squire's status among the people is not low, but his image is very ugly.
Because the price of their grain seeds is the same as that of the government government, but some additional grain taxes will be charged.
However, the government government had limited grain types, so the people had to pay the surplus grain tax.
In the early days of the founding of the Huaxia Kingdom, the national laws and family regulations had not yet been comprehensively formulated. These squires relied on their being old people and felt somewhat like fighting against the Blood Wolf Camp.
They also noticed this.
At the beginning of the new country, these people were connected by roots, and the Blood Wolf Camp could not do anything to them for the time being.
It's just that some things can't be brought to light, so as not to give the other party a clue.
The reason why these women dared to stop the city lord's wife in the street was because they didn't take her seriously at all. In their eyes, Qin Yue was just a rural woman. How much ability and knowledge could she have?
Let's cry, make trouble, and hang ourselves first. Let's finish the drama first and dig a good hole for the peasant woman.
However, what they expected was different, especially when the common people mentioned "grain seeds", the faces of several squires and ladies looked a little ugly.
These untouchables actually have the nerve to carry grains, and they are all bought at low prices by these untouchables!
In the past, they could earn a lot of money every year from grain seeds, and they never had to worry about food. But now, the grain seeds were suddenly sold at a forced low price. How could they do this?
The grains in the government warehouse were not enough for this peasant woman to squander, but she actually wanted to squander them.
Therefore, no squire responded and all chose to remain silent.
The confrontational attitude is very obvious.
The recent drama was purely to make the city lord's wife look bad, and to show the city lord that their squires were not easy to bully.
Do you want them to pay for it to those untouchables?
Don’t even think about it!
Qin Yue's unmoved attitude was something the squire and his wife did not expect, and his failure to arouse the emotions of the people was also something they did not expect.
You must know that in the past, these untouchables not only responded to them, but also rushed to please them.
The smile on Qin Yue's lips faded, she sighed, her face covered with a hint of sadness, and said: "I know how you ladies feel. The sale of grain at the lowest price this time has indeed caused us all to suffer a big loss. Originally,
You can earn a lot of money, but now you can only get one-fifth of the food tax, which is a huge reduction compared to the past."
After saying this, the faces of several squires and their wives changed, as did the faces of the people watching.
"Now that our country of China has just been founded, the national treasury is in short supply, and the people can only survive on the food in the fields. We are also a border city. The day the thieves are there, our threat will be there. The city will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed.
The common people and the squires are all in trouble, so we have to raise food to cope with the war."
"Requisitioning food from the people? We can't ignore the life and death of the people. We can only try every means to increase food production. This will not only ensure that the people will not be hungry in winter, but also ensure that our Huaxia City will not be deprived of food.
The thieves broke through!"
"When China becomes a great country in the future, all of you ladies will be ministers of meritorious service and a cornerstone on the road to success. Madams, you all understand the great kindness of righteousness. Please do it for me!"
The reason was there, the stakes were there, and the high hat was put on the person. The few squires and their wives were awkward and couldn't continue the trouble. They just left like this and were unwilling to do so.
As for fulfillment, that's pure nonsense.
It's impossible to achieve perfection, but it's also impossible without giving in at all. It's just a good idea to use this method to tease each other and explore the other party's bottom line.
But if Qin Yue says this, how should they proceed?
The squire's wife had an extraordinary status in the eyes of the peasants, but in fact she was nothing in the eyes of the real powerful people. She did not have the means of a harem, so she didn't know how to deal with Qin Yue at this moment.
After Qin Yue finished speaking, he immediately won the applause of the people.
Qin Yue waited for the cheers to subside and said, "Fellow fellow villagers, you have to thank these gentlemen who are about to sacrifice themselves!"
"Okay! Thank you, gentlemen!"
I don’t know who took the lead in applauding, but the people around him immediately followed suit.
Several squires and ladies looked embarrassed and stood there, neither staying nor leaving.
"This, we, as women, cannot handle such a big matter. Madam City Lord, otherwise, we will go back to the family to discuss it right now?" Mrs. Zhou stiffly twitched the corner of her mouth.
The other squires and ladies nodded hurriedly, and several people got into the three carriages and disappeared in a flash.
There was no excitement to be seen, and the people around him gradually dispersed, revealing Lu Yunjing and the boy standing in the crowd.
Qin Yue smiled slightly, not surprised by this.
Lu Yunjing stood there as if he stood out from the crowd, and it was difficult not to notice.
It was his servant who took the lead in shouting just now.
Qin Yue looked at Lu Yunjing as if he was taking credit, "How is it?"
Lu Yunjing shook his head and laughed. Thinking of what Mr. Qin Yue said, he blurted out: "As expected of you!"
Several squire ladies wanted to make her look bad, but Lu Yunjing didn't believe it.
The two carriages arrived in front of the government office one after another. Lu Yunjing got out of the carriage and reached back to help Qin Yue down.
Curious glances came from all around.
Everyone knows that the city lord is a handsome and handsome man, and many women fell in love with him when he was paraded through the streets after winning a battle, but few people know what the city lord's wife looks like.
I heard that the city lord married a village girl when he was in despair, so he spontaneously had the image of the 'city lord's wife' in his mind.
Now when I saw the city lord leading a beautiful and elegant woman out of the car, I thought she was a confidante brought back from somewhere.
It is really unfair to think about how a strange man like the city lord actually married a village girl. It must be a pity for many women.
Now that the city lord has returned with a beautiful girl, it is even more regrettable.
They naturally had a sense of superiority over that village girl, but when compared with this beautiful girl, they had no advantage at all and were almost buried in the dirt.
Soon, news emerged from the outside world that the city lord had brought back a beautiful girl, and the city lord's wife had fallen out of favor.
Because it was spread among the people below, the military-run Blood Wolf Camp would not care about such gossip, which made Qin Yue's affairs further hindered.
And because of this incident, Qin Yue had to deal with several bad peach blossoms.
Qin Yue's reputation dropped for a while, as she was an ugly village girl who was unscrupulous and intolerable to others.
Qin Yue ignored this at all and focused on the great cause of founding the country.
But one day, a woman appeared in front of her, forcing her to stop what she was doing.
"Madam, please help me and Lu Lang, I already have his blood in my belly!"
