My whole family is dancing

Chapter 431 There are still many good people in the world

"Is someone from another county stealing sugar cane in the county?"

Qin County Magistrate was quite surprised and very angry when he heard it. If the sugar factory that collected sugar cane at a high price was in Cangxi County, he might come forward to mediate. After all, the meat is still in the pot after rotten. The government pays taxes.

But what about those from other counties?

Going to the county under his jurisdiction to secretly buy sugar cane will greatly damage the interests of Cangxi County.

Cangxi County has been a major tax-paying county in the southwest for so many years. The magistrate commends it every year. What an honor it is. This kind of honor has gone through two or three magistrates. If it is lost in his hands, it will be worth it ?
Where to save face?
Bai Fuer explained the whole story, and at the same time said, "Your Excellency knows that we have signed sugar cane trading documents with all villages. Unless we don't want them, those people can buy sugar cane. At the same time, we also agreed that if we don't We will be compensated at the rate of one penny per catty if we accept it, and at the same time, they will pay us three times the compensation if they steal it."

"The cooperation between the two parties has been peaceful for so many years, and we are very happy. The Wuji Sugar Factory in Wenshui County is taking the bottom line, intending to destroy the healthy operation of the entire sugar industry."

County Magistrate Qin's face was heavy. Is this drawing salary from the bottom of the pot? It is his official career that is being drawn. It is absolutely unbearable.

Can a concubine elder brother also call himself a brother-in-law?

He saw that Li County Magistrate of Wenshui County was in a daze.

"This matter will be dealt with impartially after the official finds out."

Zhang Xianyu then talked about the difficulties of Baijia this year. One is that the court wants 50 catties of sugar, and the other is to send sugar to General An.

"The court didn't dare to delay the 50 jin. The delivery time has already been agreed upon; General An can't wait. In the past, we would also like to discuss with Wu Ji and let him have some sugar cane. But this year is really not good, to tell you the truth, our hundred sugar factories are all prepared to not make money this year."

County magistrate Qin didn't know about this, and he was shocked when he heard it.

Zhang Xianyu sent a gift to County Magistrate Qin, "I've thought about coming for a long time, but after returning from the capital, I am full of troubles and don't take a break for a moment. Please don't blame me, my lord."

Gifts are naturally precious, Mr. Qin glanced at them and was extremely satisfied, "It seems that Baijia's trip to the capital has yielded a lot."

"Since this is the case, the matter of sugar cane should not be sloppy. This official will let the Lizheng of each village come to see him, and make sure that the villagers sell all the sugar cane to hundreds of families as agreed in the document."

This is all credit, and he wants to get it.

Zhang Xianyu shook her head, "It's not easy for everyone to farm land. Of course, we want to earn more. We can understand this, so I have an idea here, and I ask adults to help me think about it."

She talked about the establishment of the Southwest Sugar Chamber of Commerce, and explained the benefits of it, "As long as the Chamber of Commerce is established, we will naturally have a solution for Wuji."

Mr. Qin was very satisfied. As Zhang Xianyu said, farming is not easy for the common people, and it is human nature to want to sell it at a high price. His appearance as a parent official somewhat hurt the hearts of the people. It would be better if he could solve it through other means.

Although the truth is in the hands of Baijia, there are some things that are easy to do but not pleasant to hear.

Especially when rich people like Baijia face ordinary people, no matter whether they are justified or not, they will have a reputation of being rich and unkind. He is on the side of Baijia, and it must be a collusion between the government and businessmen.

"I support you in this matter. If it cannot be resolved smoothly, I will personally come forward."

In this way, Zhang Xianyu felt at ease, and said that she would go to Fucheng to meet the magistrate on a certain day, and try to finish the matter before harvesting the sugar cane.

The aunt and sister-in-law at the other end were still thinking of finishing the matter quietly, but the Shuili village at the other end had already started a commotion.

Shuili Village is also the village where Baifuer's uncle Wen Jiaquan lives. The Wen family, headed by Wen Jiaquan, is arguing with half of the village, and the quarrel is also about sugar cane.

"You can sell your sugar cane to whoever you like, no one cares, but after the time agreed in the document is over, you must sell it to Baijia within the time of the document, unless you can afford compensation."

"I've lost all conscience. Who begged daddy to sue grandma and begged Baijia to take your sugar cane? How many people in this village live their lives by selling sugarcane to Baijia? What's the matter, have you forgotten?"

Turning his gaze to the head of Shuili Village, Wen Jiaquan's eyes were already darkened with anger, "Head, you were the fastest when Baijia wanted to sign papers, you used all the connections, and you used up all the connections back then. Every household in the village is poor, and you are still licking your face to ask people to advance the money, have you forgotten?"

"Now a person who doesn't know where he came from heard a few words from someone, and feels that Baijia is sorry for you?"

The people in Shuili Village were speechless for a while, and suddenly a woman stood up, with her hips on her hips, and said loudly, "How much is a catty of sugarcane, and how much is a catty of Baijia sugar? Don’t you want us to plant sugar cane for them, without us planting them, they can have so much sugar to sell and be able to develop?”

"He eats meat and we should also drink soup, sugar for hundreds of pennies a catty, and sugar cane for two pennies a catty. They earn enough. He Baijia will continue to buy our sugar cane, yes, five pennies A catty of money."

"Otherwise we will accept the compensation, isn't it three times the compensation, and pay him."

"Thanks to this year, everything will come out next year."

When these words came out, everyone was a little dumbfounded. They were thinking about making more money, and they didn't say that they would pay back the money.

The village chief was silent for a while, "Jiaquan, just tell the hundred families, how about we sell all of them for three pennies per catty to the hundred families?"

"If you want to be ungrateful, that's your business. Don't involve our Ma family."

The master of the Ma family came and supported all families. You must know that their grandson used to be a worthless gangster, but now he works with the Wen family. He has built a new house and married a wife in the past few years. This is all kindness.

"We begged someone to sign the document. They asked whether to sign it for five years or ten years. We also chose ten years. How many years have passed now?"

"This kind of treachery is what scholars say. My Ma family is afraid of being stabbed in the back, so I dare not participate in it."

"Our Liu family will not participate either. My Liu family has scholars, so I can't ruin my reputation."

"My family doesn't participate either. There are no scholars in my family, but I'm afraid of being spit on when I go out."

"My family doesn't participate either."

Several families came forward one after another, all expressing that they would not sell sugarcane secretly. Some were clear-headed, and some were purely afraid of being sued by hundreds of families. You must know that as ordinary people, they would rather die than go to court.

The village chief's face was black and black. They dared to make trouble because of the people in the village. If everyone went to the court together, the county magistrate would not be able to punish the whole village.

"I'll kill you white-eyed wolf"

The village chief's father came, took the yellow essence strip, and hit the village chief on the back with a 'swipe' sound.
