Sure enough, Wang Tong, who was in charge of logistics, had contacted the tailor and completed the purchase of cloth. Looking at the few clothes he got back, Jiang Yang felt that they were pretty good.
Look at the several powerful killing sticks behind him.
Jiang Yang picked it up and weighed it. It was not light, and the weight was just right.
The two ends are wrapped with iron sheets, and there are small concave dots on the iron sheets. If the stick is pushed down, the buttocks will definitely bloom.
Then look at the matching iron chains and broadswords, with a cold light shining on the blades.
Not bad, although Jiang Yang seems to be very backward, so let’s make do for the time being.
As for Li You and others, the disaster relief work in the afternoon also went smoothly. The refugees heard that Jiang Yang not only kept his promise and gave the people silver, but also brought the three people who caused the disaster to justice.
Naturally, everyone applauded.
With this wave of bonuses, Jiang Yang's status in their hearts became higher and higher. By the way, Chen Zhiyong recruited 200 people with almost no trouble.
Some people even told Chen Zhiyong privately that they would leave a place for him the next time they recruit people.
Very popular~
Wang Tong prepared the bill for Jiang Yang to review.
After a quick glance, I found that both the cloth and the tailor's prices were lower than the market price. He was indeed a good accountant.
"Brother, you don't know how awesome you are today."
"Yes, I am very happy today."
What was different from others was Li You. Although he had a smile on his face, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Seeing several brothers chatting away, Jiang Yang patted Li You on the shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? Do you miss your wife?"
"No." Li You said in a low voice: "Not only did our disaster relief work go smoothly today, but preparations for the county government were also put on the agenda. We needed people and money, but everything went well but there were troubles behind it. You said Wang Yuanwai today
Why is there no action at all?"
Jiang Yang was also stunned. He specially asked Chen Zhiyong to leave thirty people in the county government office to guard against the king. But why was this guy so strangely quiet today?
Unlike his style, Jiang Yang also knew not to be dazzled by a momentary victory.
Frowning, he asked, "Is there anything going on in the Wang Yuanwai's mansion?"
"No, except for the fact that there were people coming in and out yesterday, everything seems to be normal today." Li You said.
When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Wang Yuanwai must have known that one of his men was caught by Jiang Yang, and he also clearly knew that three of his subordinates were sentenced to death by Jiang Yang.
According to Wang Yuanwai's character, it is impossible to pretend to know nothing, and there must be countermeasures.
And everything was so peaceful, so peaceful that it was a bit scary.
"Ignore him, if the soldiers come to block the water or the soil, we can just proceed according to the plan," Jiang Yang said, asking them all to take a look at the drawings he had drawn.
It is impossible to draw everything in detail in one afternoon, but the general structure and detailed text explanations are still there.
Letting them look at it also helps you check for mistakes and fill in the gaps.
....
On the other side, Wang Yuanwai's mansion was indeed not very quiet. Wang Yuanwai stood there with eyes like fire.
Not long after, the other heads of families and one of the heads of some small families who followed Yuan Wang arrived one after another.
"Old Wang, why are you calling us here so late?" The person's surname was Chen. It is said that someone in the family recognized Chen Xuanli as their ancestor.
But it's all hearsay and no one can be sure.
But one thing is certain, the Chen family has a lot of energy.
Although the Zhu family and the Liu family are smaller in size, they both have their own power.
In the past, the people who often gathered with Wang Yuanwai and followed his lead were just small families.
Today, early in the morning as planned, he dressed up and planned to negotiate with Jiang Yang!
As soon as I walked to the door of the mansion, I heard them saying that Jiang Yang was rich.
Wang Yuanwai was confused at that time and asked people to investigate and report again.
They said that Jiang Yang gave away so much money, which surprised Wang Yuanwai.
This put his plan on hold, and he could only go back to the house to make plans. But at this time, someone came to report that Jiang Yang had read out their charges, and Ling Chi had already had surgery.
Wang Yuanwai could not sit still and immediately prepared to lead people there. However, he heard that there were fifty good men in Jiangyang and the people all supported him, so he naturally retreated.
After he ordered the men and horses, he heard that the three boys were already in trouble and the property and real estate under their names had been confiscated.
Mr. Wang is so angry, why is he so slow?
At this time, someone said that Li's bank was short of cash. When Wang Yuanwai heard this, he was puzzled. He gave them 500,000 taels yesterday. How could they be short of cash? He immediately felt that something was wrong and hurriedly sent someone to the bank to inquire.
Hey, that's right, the five hundred thousand taels were taken away without even being heated.
When Wang Yuanwai heard the news, he almost lost his breath and fell to the ground.
Furious, he slammed the table, but it was no use now.
In this case, he must find a way to make it difficult for Jiang Yang to move forward, so that he can be qualified to negotiate with Jiang Yang to get back his money.
This is why he asked all the family patriarchs to come.
After hearing what Chen Jian said, Wang Yuanwai said: "Everyone, to be honest, County Magistrate Li has already taken action against me."
"Oh?" Everyone else was shocked, and the original playful atmosphere suddenly dissipated.
The gentry and gentry, although they like to fight among themselves, they are still united in dealing with the outside world at critical moments.
They are like building a high wall. First of all, no one is allowed to interfere in the affairs inside the high wall. Secondly, no matter how the people inside the high wall fight, the people inside will benefit, and outsiders cannot.
Do you want to go in? Then just be a pug and the master will be kind enough to give you a dog hole so you can crawl in.
When they heard that Jiang Yang had taken action against the Wang family, they were all worried about what they would do if Jiang Yang took action against them.
These people understand the meaning of dying lips and cold teeth.
Chen Jian frowned and said, "Tell me in detail how he dealt with you?"
After hearing this, Wang Yuanwai's expression changed.
How can I say that I wanted to do some illegal business to get rid of you all, and then I was caught by Jiang Yang?
It was definitely not possible to say it out loud, so I could only speak slowly: "He killed three of my servants, and took back the land and said it was going to be distributed to the poor."
"Oh?" The others looked at each other and smiled.
"He's just a servant. If he dies, he dies. Why should he be angry?"
"Besides, what if the land is given to them? Don't we have a way to get it back?"
"Yeah, why bother calling us together in anger? It's making a fuss out of a molehill."
Wang Yuanwai said in a deep voice: "It is inconvenient to talk to you in detail about many of these matters. I just hope that you can help me raise the price of grain in Xiami County this time. Then I will handle the rest of the matter."
"After the matter is completed, the benefits and fees for you will certainly not be small."
Raise food prices?
This move is enough to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron and disturb the public sentiment.
"It's easy to raise grain prices, but what if grain merchants from other places take the opportunity to take action?"
