Chapter 326: Where did he get the food?
Ye Biqing smiled slightly when she heard this: "If the people and the victims come again, then let's go and buy it. Anyway, we have some money. I heard that there is a grain shop nearby. The food inside was bought out half a month ago, and now dozens of bags suddenly pop up."
"Although we don't know how these grains suddenly pop up, we think that they can't escape the relationship between His Highness King Jin and the local Sansi Yamen and the prefectural offices. They have food but are unwilling to take it out and distribute it to the people to overcome the difficulties. At that time, we will eat their food, pay the grain with one hand and the bank with the other hand. With the Jinyi and sweatshirts, if they dare to speak loudly, I will change this into an imperial prison and directly capture the owner of the grain shop."
After hearing this, Ye Jiner nodded and thought that her sister was so smart, but there was another problem.
"Sister, but what if the corrupt officials transport all the food back?"
Ye Biqing smiled and said, "The food is in their hands. If they have to take it back, we can't do anything. But the door of the grain warehouse seemed to deliberately show off their wealth. So much food was put out at once and officers and soldiers were sent to guard it. This matter has already spread."
"If they don't place food tomorrow or not, we will take the victims to the door of the grain shop. If the shopkeeper does not want to be torn by these victims, he will have to find a way to take out the food. If he can't take it out, he will honestly provide it. Where did the food come from?"
Ye Jiner nodded: "I understand. If they take back all the food and the shopkeeper's, we can't find the shopkeeper's one thing."
Ye Biqing shook her head and asked, "Didn't you find that there are a few fewer of the 100 people under my official command today? Many of the people around today are sent by the Sansi Yamen and the Jin Prince's Mansion. They can send eyeliners to us, and of course we can also send eyeliners."
"What's more, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's eyeliner is already spread all over the world, and the people I sent are all specializing in dirty work and tiring work. As long as the shopkeeper of the grain shop is transferred, these Embroidered Uniform Guards will immediately control him."
"Last night, I already knew everything big and small about Taiyuan Prefecture, including what happened in Taiyuan Prefecture in the first three months."
"I have given them decentness. If they don't want decentness, then I can't take care of that much. I will help them decent..."
...
On the second day, the people gathered at Ye Biqing's door as usual. This time no one was calling for money because they were much better than their local officials. He really gave him any porridge. And such a sticky porridge was thrown into it without any sank. How can the people not like such a good official?
The people were looking forward to it, and finally the door opened. This time, Ye Biqing stood up in the official uniform of the Jinyiwei.
"Dear fellows, today our courtyard only has silver and no food, but don't worry, there is a grain shop near the Niesi yamen, where there is food. I am willing to take out the silver to buy food there. Please ask all the fellows to give me a certificate. I will immediately use the disaster relief salt distributed by the court along the way, and I will list all of them to ask the people to supervise!"
After Ye Biqing said that, he waved his hand and immediately a Jinyiwei was holding a piece of paper. Another Jinyiwei wiped paste on the wall and pasted the paper on the wall. This one was a public account book. The first line on it said that two hundred stones of rice were purchased in Kaifeng Prefecture, which cost a total of more than one hundred taels of silver.
After the public account book was posted, Ye Biqing said again.
"Dear fellow villagers, please go to the grain warehouse with me. There are strong men from our Jinyiwei who carry pots, bricks, and firewood to the grain shop. As long as you buy the grain, set up a stove on the spot, and open a porridge shed!"
The people below immediately responded: "Sir, don't worry, you are so kind to us, we will definitely help you!"
"That's right, everyone has been hungry for so long. I finally had a full meal yesterday. The adults are kind to us, we know clearly! If the shopkeeper doesn't sell, we will smash his store together!"
"Let's go, everyone will follow the adults!"
Ye Biqing was very satisfied with this result. Why did he cook a pot of rice yesterday? It was so sticky and so much rice was put in? It was mainly to win over the hearts of these people. As long as this matter was a big deal, the court would know that an official who was only responsible for escorting disaster relief camps was responsible for opening a porridge shed. When this matter was spread, the local officials' faces were too bad.
Ye Biqing doesn’t care about you. Since you don’t want to be decent, I will help you decent. This is the biggest benefit Ye Biqing has gained after talking to Zhu Song. That is, the conspiracy and tricks in the officialdom are only successful. Open conspiracy means forcing the other party to make choices that are beneficial to one party. This feeling is really wonderful.
The people followed Ye Biqing toward the grain shop. Sure enough, the grain had been put away and the door of the grain shop had been closed. Ye Biqing sneered, and an old man immediately cursed before he could speak.
"Yesterday I saw the door of this shop open. There was so much food at the door and the officers and soldiers guarding him. I didn't let him close the store today! This is to force us into a dead end!"
"That's right, it's fine if they don't give us food. Now the court has distributed silver, but there is no grain sold in this whole Shanxi? It's just such a family? His grain was so openly released yesterday, and it was taken back today. Isn't this intention to indulge us!"
"Come on, smash them!"
Just as the people were filled with righteous indignation, and just when Ye Biqing made way for the victims and the people, there was an adult riding a horse following dozens of officers and soldiers.
"What are you doing? Are you going to rebel in broad daylight?"
Ye Biqing glanced at the coming lord. She remembered clearly that this lord was Song Jiachen, the prefect of Taiyuan.
