Hearing the sound of "Eight Coins and a Dou" sounds like the sound of nature.

Wang Caozhi, Shopkeeper Ma, Shopkeeper Li and other sixteen grain merchants, as well as twelve other squires present, were all stunned.

Although this is still a little far from their cost price, the current situation is already much higher than today's food prices in Longcheng market!

Moreover, judging from the tone of the young county magistrate, he still ate it all in one go! Let them throw this hot potato out all at once!

Every extra day that so much stored grain is left incurs a huge amount of warehouse management and anti-aging expenses, and it also faces the risk of drying out and fire at any time, which makes people worried all day long... And all of this is happening at this moment.

I can see the dawn of resolution in the smile of the young county magistrate!

"Lord County Magistrate, are you... telling the truth?"

"Lord County Magistrate, I, I, I...I'm going out, I'm going out!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to think about it. Let's sign the contract right now! Once it's settled, the common people will go and transport the grain."

Everyone in the hall rushed over. If it weren't for the table, someone would have been drowned.

Ouyang Rong, who leaned back slightly, smiled and tapped his left palm with his right index finger to signal them to calm down:

"However, there is a small condition. After everyone listens, we will confirm whether to sell grain to the Yamen."

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, please speak!" Everyone paused and listened.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I might have to pay for it on credit and make an IOU."

Ouyang Rong smiled sheepishly, took an official document from the court that had been on his desk for a long time, and signaled to everyone:

"Assuming that we finally collect 300,000 shi of grain, the Longcheng County Government can only temporarily pay you 10% of the silver, and you will owe a small debt for the remaining 90% of the silver.

"But don't worry about defaulting on your debt. Please take a look, everyone. This is the official document issued by the imperial court when Jimincang was stolen. It gives our local county magistrate the right to act expediently, as well as various tax preferential guarantees...

"So today's debt is not only guaranteed in my own name, but also in the name of Longcheng County Government and the imperial court. You can rest assured."

The grain merchants and the squire looked at each other, some calmed down, but others still looked excited.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Please think about it yourself. This is the last thing Longcheng County Government can do for everyone. Finally, pay attention to the time. It's before I go back for dinner. Don't wait after the expiration date.

.”

Ouyang Rong gently folded the rice paper in his hand and threw it to his junior sister.

The crowd surrounding the public case hesitated.

Wang Caozhi, Shopkeeper Li, Shopkeeper Ma and others looked at each other, nodded, and stepped forward. However, the twelve country gentry who were leaderless today still looked hesitant and stopped at the end of the crowd... not daring to stand in a certain place.

Come forward without the family present.

At this time, Ouyang Rong seemed to have remembered something, raised his head and said casually: "By the way, in fact, this debt... I think the county government has a project that may be quite profitable. If you are interested, you can also buy shares with debt."

"What is it built for?" Everyone asked curiously.

The young magistrate smiled silently and continued writing with his head down.

The squires who were still hesitant at first became even more itchy.
