Liu Shiyi hurriedly ran forward. When he saw this scene, he hurried forward. With a smile on his face, he nodded and bowed and said: "This poor man, this poor man, please don't do anything. If you have something to say, you are a beast."
I don’t have eyes..."
The man scratched his neck and cursed: "Master, I think you are an animal that really doesn't have eyes. If I don't give you a few whips, you don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes~~~, give me a beating, hit this end
Give me the cattle, master, and I will imitate the donkey's braying!"
The man gave the order, and several prisoners who had just pulled up a car rushed up as if they were beaten to death. They beat each other fiercely, making Liu Shiyi roll on the ground and howl incessantly.
Chen Feng, Yang Ye and others saw that these officers were like thieves and prisoners, and each one was more fierce than the last. They were so frightened that they stood there and did not dare to approach. Ding Yuluo hurried over and saw that they had overturned three vehicles.
The carriage and the food were scattered all over the street, and they were beaten and smashed there. It became a rage as soon as the carriage was lifted. She raised her eyebrows and scolded: "Stop!"
"Hey, I said this sound sounded like a female, and it turned out to be a big girl."
When the officer saw that this young man was a handsome girl disguised as a man, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he said: "My dear lady, I am escorting the prisoner to Qiankou Prison. This is an important business. It doesn't matter if your mule is frightened."
, look, not only did I hurt my people, but I also broke so many pickle jars. If the prisoners don’t have anything to eat, what do you think we should do if trouble breaks out?"
Ding Yuluo suppressed his anger and said: "Master, our car rammed into your car, and the little girl is here to apologize to you. Someone was injured, and the little girl has to pay for the medical expenses. The pickle jar is broken, and the little girl is here.
I will also compensate you. I wonder if the official thinks it is appropriate to deal with this little girl like this?"
"Hahaha, little lady, what you said is so easy, how can you get rid of this man so easily?" The man had such a ruthless look on his face that he could have written four big words on his forehead: "I am a hooligan".
Ding Yuluo said stiffly: "Then what should I do according to the official?"
Before the man could say anything, a prisoner beside him said loudly: "There's no need to ask. As long as you, a frivolous little lady, sleep with our father-in-law, nothing will happen."
"Hahaha..." The police officers and prisoners all around laughed. When had Ding Yuluo ever been humiliated like this? After hearing such vulgar words, her face was so red that it almost spurted blood. She was furious,
He shouted sternly: "Are you officials or gangsters? In broad daylight and with everything clear, are you still trying to blackmail me?"
The policeman said with a playful smile: "Little lady, you really said that, your master, I am still a gangster in official clothes, what's the matter? It was you who provoked me, not the master, I provoked you, you bumped into the master
How can a person flip on his back, drop two silver coins, pat his butt, and then want to walk? There is no such truth in the world."
These public servants who guarded the exiled prisoners in the northwest region usually had little to gain. The duties were complicated and arduous, and the wages were meager. It was difficult to support their families with wages alone. Gradually, they became tainted with the sleazy atmosphere of the local yamen. Many of them, after working as errands,
They all try their best to make money and make a profit. When they see some small businessmen passing by, they will try to blackmail them by "touching porcelain".
After the autumn trials every year, these police officers collude with prisoners who have been sentenced to heavy sentences, promising to give them generous treatment in prison in the future, and then taking advantage of the opportunity to transfer to prison, they deliberately find gaps during the escort to defraud others of their money.
If the other party dares to resist and disobey, the police will instruct a group of desperadoes to rob and commit murder. The northwest region is sparsely populated, and those business travelers are not locals. Wherever they can afford to file a lawsuit, if they really want to pursue the case, the police will take the responsibility.
If all the blame is placed on the prisoner, this lawsuit will never end.
And generally speaking, if the person who was robbed did not have a prominent background, local officials were unwilling to investigate further. Therefore, the trend of "grabbing" became more and more intense. After repeated successes, the escorting police officers became more and more wanton and reckless.
They were worried. Seeing that the Ding family's motorcade was very large today, these policemen had no intention of extorting money. But now that the Ding family had hit them first, there was no reason for these ruffians not to take a heavy hit.
Miss Ding is slim and graceful, with picturesque features and unique charm in every frown and smile. The police officer has rarely seen such a charming young lady, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels itchy. He also knows that he may not be qualified to be with such a beauty.
Ding Yuluo was in ecstasy, but it felt good to take advantage of others' words. Therefore, the angrier Ding Yuluo became, the prouder he became.
Liu Shi saw his young lady being humiliated, standing aside with a bruised nose and face, and bravely said: "My lord, these grains are shipped to Guangyuan for the army. We have delayed the time, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the blame. The mistake is
We will just pay you some money, how can we be so deceiving?"
When the man heard the threat in his words, he couldn't help but became furious. He pointed his halberd and cursed: "You grain merchants are the most unkind. You buy at a low price and sell at a high price. There are those who have no conscience, and
The grain is mixed with chaff and sand, but in the event of natural or man-made disasters, it will be built in strange places, and a grain of rice will be exchanged for thousands of gold, and people's blood will be stolen to feed the fields. However, when they sell grain to the government, they also deceive the superiors and the inferiors, and profit from it. Now they have made the border troops
Come on, I don’t know which military master escorted your army rations, please come back and show me to the head of Pontus!"
Liu Shiyi's face turned pale when Nadu scolded him, and he suddenly became speechless.
In order to make big profits from selling grain, it is inevitable to accumulate and live in strange places. When the government purchased military grain, a "time valuation" system was implemented at that time. Every ten days, the government convened local guild merchants to jointly evaluate and determine the purchase price. These merchants bribed the charlatans and public officials.
The person who sells the goods sets a high price and deliberately refuses to accept the goods from other grain transporters, forcing them to sell to local traders at a low price.
When a war breaks out, many businessmen become even more proud of their grain and hoard it, forcing the government to raise the price to purchase it. If there is a natural disaster, many families with surplus grain will immediately "close their purchases" and close their warehouses to drive up prices.
Take advantage of the opportunity of famine to annex the poor people's land.
The Ding family was able to become rich and powerful in just twenty or thirty years from nothing. In addition to the fact that the owner of the Ding family, Ding Chengxun, was a shrewd man and had a unique vision, he also received help from the right time. When Ding Tingxun stored grain for sale, it happened to be a time when natural disasters and banditry were both serious, and the red land was thousands of miles away.
, the people were displaced and corpses were everywhere. When the disaster was at its worst, two gold ingots could be exchanged for three buns from those who had food. The Ding family took advantage of this opportunity and jumped up, buying thousands of hectares of fertile land and becoming the richest man in Bazhou.
Primitive accumulation is all bloody, but Ding Tingxun is a fairly decent man. Even so, others can imagine. Later generations often lament that people's hearts are not ancient, but they don't know how much they know about the real behavior and moral standards of the ancients. They don't know.
Of course there were some righteous people among the ancients, and history books have written about them, but in fact there were more unjust people, and because the system at that time was more imperfect than it is now, the ancient profiteers caused more disasters than the modern profiteers.
Ding Chengxun was familiar with many ways in the grain trade, so he traded with the border army, and "no price increase, no price reduction", always exclusively transported military grain at a moderate price, and used contracting methods to obtain advance loans for grain from the military.
They were the exclusive carrier. The generals of the Guangyuan border army suffered from the fact that the subordinate officials were taking too much profit from them and they really couldn't manage it, so they designated the Ding family, which owned thousands of hectares of land, as the exclusive grain merchants, which cut out many intermediate links and saved a lot of military expenses.
Nowadays, the Ding family's grain is transported to Guangyuan and sold to the military, but they only obtained the monopoly of grain management rights through their personal relationship with the border army generals. Now that the grain has not entered the official villages, it is not considered official grain.
It is said that the army will not send people to escort, and they do not have various privileges during transportation. Na Dutou is a local subordinate, how could he not know the reason, Liu Shiyi casually mentions the name of the military rations, which is scary and annoying.
Got him.
Ding Yu raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Then Mr. Yi, how should we resolve this matter?"
It was the first time I saw this young girl, so arrogant and flirtatious, with no bones weighing less than four ounces. Under the coaxing of her companions and prisoners, she lightly used her hand to hook Ding Yuluo's chin and mouthed
He said with a smile: "I was frightened by the mules and horses, and I couldn't think of a suitable solution for a moment. My dear, why don't you go have a drink with me, and let's sit down and talk slowly."
Miss Ding got really angry when she saw how frivolous he was. She swiped the riding crop in her hand and hit the back of his hand with a "snap". The man's clothes were not thick and his blood was not flowing smoothly. She was
As soon as he twitched, he screamed in pain, and his eyebrows stood up. When the prisoners saw the official brother being beaten, they immediately rushed forward, surrounding Ding Yuluo.
