Chapter 153 Don't regret being my enemy

Chapter 153 Don't regret being my enemy 
"Master Qin, let's put our words here today. If you dare to force us to sell grain, we will dare to go to the magistrate to tell you that you have violated the law!"

"Yes, although you are the magistrate of the county, you can't be too lenient. If you think it's expensive, don't buy it!"

The gentry's words were stinky and their faces were sour. The yamen servants behind Qin Feng saw it and wished they could go up and give them a hammer.

"Master Qin wants to exchange money with you for food. It is to save people, and it is not for nothing! Do you have a conscience one by one?"

Zhao Yi couldn't help but criticize.

"Hehe, don't you hear that there is no business and no crime? This year, there have been locust plagues everywhere, and only a few of us old guys have a bumper harvest. Even without Mr. Qin, the food price will rise this year..."

"You have the nerve to say, why do you think your fields will have a bumper harvest? Isn't it because Mr. Qin taught farmers the magic method? You... are all ungrateful!"

"Okay, stop talking!"

Qin Feng stopped Zhao Yi and looked at Hu Lai, Zhang Shun and other gentry.

"Qin spends money to buy grain. If you sell it at the normal price today, the relationship between us can be eased. I will give you another chance. Are you sure you want to make things difficult for Qin?"

Qin Feng's words were very cold and indifferent, he raised his head and squinted his eyes, looking at the gentry with contempt.

All the squires were stimulated by this look.

"Haha? You, Qin Feng, have nowhere to go to ask us, and you still put on such a gesture?"

"Easy relationship? Master Qin, do you think things are too simple? Is there any room for relaxation between you and me? I have been hit and fined, and I have been cheated of money and called me When the squire has been imprisoned for the first time, it's all because of you, Mr. Qin!"

"If you really want to ease the relationship, then give us a few kowtows on the spot to admit your mistakes, and the kowtows go to our hearts. We still have a little chance and choose to forgive you."

"But even if that's the case, we won't sell this grain cheaply. If you don't buy it here, someone else will buy it. There are many places that are short of grain this year. I don't have to worry about not being able to sell the grain I'm waiting for!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

All the gentry felt that they finally had a chance to take revenge on Qin Feng openly, and they were very happy.

There are two ways before Qin Feng, either, buy their food at a high price, or find another way to resettle these refugees.

The former can make them squires a lot of money. Although the latter can't make Qin Feng's money, they don't lose money. Seeing Qin Feng's desperation is also a kind of enjoyment for them squires.

Maybe the refugee problem this time can overwhelm Qin Feng and cause great trouble in Ninghai County. When the time comes, these country gentry will operate in secret, and Qin Feng's official hat will be in danger!
Therefore, the squires didn't have the slightest intention of wanting to.

Qin Feng nodded slightly, and looked at the squires with deep meaning: "Okay, this is what you asked for. You are an enemy of this county. Don't regret it in the future. This county originally wanted to leave you a way to survive. But now..."

Qin Feng shook his head, and waved his big hand to greet the servants behind him: "Let's go!"

Zhao Yi waited for all the yamen servants to be stunned, let's go?Is this... a confession?
Although they didn't understand Qin Feng's actions in their hearts, but the county magistrate spoke up, they didn't dare to say anything, and each followed Qin Feng.

Mr. Qin is resourceful and resourceful, there must be other ways!Everyone thinks so.

Qin Feng left, and the country gentry were a little surprised at the gate of the grain shop.

"It's so easy to go?"

"This is to stretch us, right?"

"Well, we have to unite as one, and don't fall into that Qin Feng's trap. I think this is playing hard to get, and it was deliberately done for us to see. Food prices can't be lowered, so I want to see what Qin Feng can do! "

"It's a pleasure to see Qin Feng deflated!"

"Happy, happy! Let's go, let's go to Chunxiang Building, eat roast duck, and drink fairy water! Hahahahaha..."

The squires also dispersed.

Back at the yamen, Zhao Yi couldn't help but asked Qin Feng: "Sir, do we just forget about it? The refugees outside..."

"Of course not."

Qin Feng looked back at Zhao Yi, and ordered: "You go and call the representatives of the farmers in each district to me."

"Call them here? Could it be that...you want to borrow their food again?"

"No, this time it's not borrowing, but buying. Buy as much as you want, and it will last for a few days. Call them, I have more important things to do!"

On that day, Qin Feng called all the representatives of the farmers together and held a secret meeting. No one knew the content of the meeting except the farmers and Qin Feng himself. Only conveyed the spirit of the meeting to the farmers in their own area.

A group of gentry in Ninghai County paid close attention to Qin Feng's every move, and went up to ask the farmers, but the farmers didn't reveal anything when they saw that they were not from their own area.

Those who inquired about the news inquired, but found nothing. They only knew that the farmers did not know what benefits they had gained, and all of them were smiling.

On the second day, the farmers in Ninghai County contributed a bag of grain to Qin Feng without even asking for money, and the pressure on the porridge shed was relieved a little.

On the same day, Qin Feng sent out several of his trusted yamen servants, and asked them to take the bank notes and drive the carriage. One group of people went to the south, and the other group went to the northern provinces that were not affected by the disaster.

The elders of the Su family who rushed to Ninghai from all over the country also rushed back to their respective provinces on this day. Qin Feng personally saw them off, and also talked to these old men at the gate of the city. My lord, you look relieved.

This series of actions made the squires unable to see through, and they gathered together to discuss again.

"This Qin Feng really has a way. He can actually persuade each household to pay 1 shi of grain! He hasn't asked for money yet! I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured on these farmers."

"What about one household with one stone of food? I'm here to report, and today another group of refugees flooded in, thousands of people. With so many refugees who are reincarnated like starving ghosts, the food consumed will only increase. , the little grain donated by the farmers is nothing.”

"Hmph! These damn farmers just can't feed them enough! I think we might as well raise the land rent together. If we charge [-]% of their rent every year according to this year's harvest, they can still live!"

"Yes! That's what I'm thinking too!"

"The farmers are easy to deal with. It's Qin Feng...he really didn't come to beg us. Could it be that he has other ways to solve the current predicament?"
