Chapter 338 The family steward is looking for trouble
"One stone for high-quality breeding, do you need two stones for new grain?"
After listening to what Fang Xuanling and others said, Zhang Liang, Qin Qiong and others couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Zhijie, didn't you say before that it only needs to be increased by 50%?"
"Hey, third brother, that's Your Majesty, we need two stones of new food in exchange!" Cheng Zhijie said quickly.
On the side, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang and others were already squatting on the ground, grabbing a handful of rice and looking at it with bright eyes for a long time.
"Brother Qin, come and see, this kind of high-quality breeding is worth two stones!"
"Let me take a look!"
After hearing this, Qin Qiong quickly walked up and took a look, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I want fifty stones!"
"I want fifty stones too!"
Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others who came together said quickly.
Hearing this, all the dealers were overjoyed.
They quickly took out the rice seeds they had just carried home.
On the way back, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others still looked overjoyed.
Looking at the rice in his hands, his face was filled with joy.
With these high-quality breeding, the harvest of their fields next year can be increased by at least 20 to 30%.
As Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others returned to Chang'an from Lijiazhuang with the carts of rice seeds, the dignitaries of the aristocratic families who had heard some news quickly ordered their subordinates to prepare some gifts and send them to those with whom they had friendship.
Go to his house.
…
the next day.
The common people in Chang'an City discovered that overnight, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic families seemed to have reached an agreement, and early in the morning they led a group of carriages and lined up to go to the south of the city.
Along the way, there was a long queue of carriages, all the way to the gate of Lijiazhuang.
So many aristocratic families crowded over, and the guards of Prince Jin in Lijiazhuang looked nervous.
Xue Rengui personally led people to guard the entrance of the village.
Each time, only three forces are allowed to enter.
The aristocratic families who entered did not include Hu, and directly paid more than half of the deposit. Each aristocratic family asked for hundreds of shi of food.
After several aristocratic families came down, not a single grain of rice was left in the hands of those farmers.
Even the rice in Prince Jin's Mansion was exchanged for nothing by three aristocratic families.
"Steward Li, I heard that His Highness the Prince of Jin's paddy field yields four shi per acre. The paddy fields of thousands of acres contain at least 3,000 shi of rice. Why did it disappear so quickly?"
A steward from an aristocratic family asked Li Chang anxiously.
"You gentlemen, there is really not a single drop left!" Li Chang said with a dull expression.
Seeing Li Chang's expression, those members of the aristocratic family couldn't help but sigh, and then asked quickly: "May I ask Butler Li, can you tell me whose family took away so much rice at once? We are also in urgent need of this kind of rice."
Breed, look for him to put some in!"
"Qinghe Cui family!"
Li Chang said directly without thinking.
"Qinghe Cui family?"
Hearing this, everyone was startled and asked quickly: "How many stones did the Qinghe Cui family exchange for?"
"Four hundred stones!"
Li Chang said.
"What?"
At this time, all the people from the aristocratic family were angry.
When they came, they all agreed that in order for everyone to wear it, each family should not exceed a hundred dan at most.
Unexpectedly, Cui Hongmo, a villain like him, exchanged four hundred stones in one go.
Thinking about this, everyone looked angry, slowly arched their hands towards Li Chang, and said, "Thank you, Butler Li, for informing me. I will go look for Cui Hongmo soon!"
In an instant, all the stewards of the aristocratic family walked angrily towards the small courtyard at the far end of Lijiazhuang.
At this moment, in the courtyard, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were drinking happily.
After collecting so many high-quality breeding materials at once, they will definitely be praised by the head of the family and some elders.
"Brother Zheng, since it is quite expensive to transport new grain at this moment, why not discuss it with the farmers and replace the two kilos of new grain with three shi of old grain!"
"Brother Cui's words are very good. I think the clan will agree with this method, and the farmers will also agree." Zheng Mingde looked happy.
"Let's go, I'll go find Uncle Six!"
"Extremely..."
With that said, the two picked up the wine bottles, stood up, and walked out of the courtyard.
As Uncle Liu was originally the village elder of Lijiazhuang, his status among the farmers in Lijiazhuang has not declined since so many farmers came here.
"Dongdong..."
However, before the two of them went out, there was a burst of noise from the courtyard door.
Then, someone was faintly shouting angrily at the two of them.
"Cui Hongmo, wait for me!"
"Cui Hongmo, could it be that you did something wrong and didn't dare to see me..."
"Brother Cui, it seems someone is scolding you!"
On one side, Zheng Mingde said to Cui Hongmo with a look on his face.
"snort!"
Hearing this, Cui Hongmo's expression darkened.
After his little sister from the Cui family married into the Jin Palace, no one in Lijiazhuang, except the king and the Supreme Emperor, had ever dared to deny him face like this.
He opened the courtyard door with an angry look, and both of them were startled.
"Brother Wang, Brother Li, Brother Cui, Brother Zheng...Why are you all so angry?"
"It turns out that Brother Cui and Brother Zheng are sitting at home, drinking leisurely!"
A steward from an aristocratic family said with a sneer.
"I'm in a good mood today, so it's time to drink to cheer me up!"
Cui Hongmo would not be used to these high-ranking family managers, even though he was once one of them.
"I wonder what you mean when you come to visit us like this?"
"I came here to exchange for breeding, but before I could exchange for much, all the breeding had been exchanged!"
All the stewards of the aristocratic families were staring closely at Cui Hongmo.
"It turns out that you all came here in exchange for breeding, so why are you here to find my younger brother?" Cui Hongmo continued.
"Brother Cui, please don't pretend to be Hutu. We agreed yesterday that in order for everyone to be able to switch to breeding today, each family can only switch to a hundred stones at most!"
"Who would have thought that we just changed a few houses, and the breeding in the village was already empty. And Brother Cui actually exchanged four hundred stones for each person. This is not taking what we discussed at heart. This is
What to do?"
"Um?"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde couldn't help but look at each other and chuckled subconsciously.
"You virtuous brothers, you have misremembered. The two of us returned to the village very early yesterday, but we never discussed this matter with you!"
At the same time, the stewards of those aristocratic families couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, he said again: "However, Brother Cui exchanged four hundred stones for breeding, but it was a bit too much. Lijiazhuang only received a lot of breeding, and Brother Cui exchanged four hundred stones for himself. What can we do?"
Cui Hongmo couldn't help but sneered, "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood. These four hundred stones of breeding were left by the princess to a certain person. I wonder what these breedings have to do with you?
Moreover, not only did Cui exchange for 400 stones, Brother Zheng also exchanged for 400 stones for breeding!"
"What, Brother Zheng also exchanged four hundred stones?"
At this time, the faces of all the family stewards were full of anger again.
"Exactly!"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde both nodded slowly, "I wonder what this has to do with you?"
"Moreover, we live in Zhuangzi, not to mention the breeding of four hundred stones, even if we exchange for one thousand stones at a time, what can you do?"
"Don't you think that we are just exchanging four hundred stones for breeding, or are we giving you a lot of face?"
Hearing this, all the stewards of the aristocratic families couldn't help but let out a long breath, their faces full of anger and helplessness.
It seems that since Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde joined the Jin Dynasty, they have gradually lost control!
