[Chapter 56 The Gentry’s Counterattack]

Prefect’s House.

Representatives of the squires and landlords of Bailong City are gathering in the council hall of the Prefect’s Mansion.

The squires and landlords were sitting on the chairs of the council hall, drinking tea and pulling the parents, but they were not worried about the absence of Mi Qian, the prefect of Bailongcheng.

Let him be an ostrich. Anyway, Prefect Mi must give an explanation for this matter.

Mi Qian, who was in the back hall, also paced back and forth, and the chief clerk next to him said cautiously, “Master Prefect, Master Lao and Master Tao Ye have been waiting in the council hall for two hours. The locust plague that broke out last

month

has just left, and the food shortage in Bailong City is huge.

We need to rely on these gentry in the city now, otherwise it will be difficult to handle civil revolts.”

Agriculture was hit hard, and all the food that was about to grow was eaten up by locusts.

I don’t know who has spread the rumor that the food on the market has also come to an end because of the purchase of Chinese people, causing the people in the entire Bailong City area to panic about the shortage of food.

As a result, the price of food has also risen steadily, and it has been unstoppable for a while.

Because of his own misappropriation, the granary in Bailong City sold it to Chinese merchants and landlords, and exchanged it for currency to enrich his own pockets.

And now is the time to use it, but it is impossible to open the warehouse and put food.

Faced with the problem of insufficient food, Mi Qian’s head also increased.

Although the Chinese merchants brought ship after shipment of food, the rumored White Dragon City was also very unfriendly to these Chinese merchants.

All kinds of rumors are flying around, and there are different opinions about the emergence of the locust plague.

It is said that the locust plague is because these Chinese people bought the furry food, resulting in the lack of offerings for the locust gods. This locust plague was launched to warn the empire.

And now the Chinese people bring the food back, it is completely fake.

It is even sold to furry at a high price, earning huge profits.

In the eyes of the people of Bailongcheng, Huaxia bought the food of Bailongcheng at a low price, and then took advantage of the fire and sold it back to Bailongcheng at a high price.

This is tolerable and unbearable.

The second theory of the locust plague is that the railways and highways built by the Chinese people, as well as various factories, farms, and plantations, have destroyed the furry feng shui.

Feng Shui, whether it is in Huaxia or Furry, is believed by some people.

Coupled with those Taoist priests, warlocks, and storytellers who roam the rivers and lakes, Feng Shui is even more widely spread.

God knows how these rumors started. In short, because of this locust plague, dissatisfaction with the Chinese people has also arisen in the city.

At this juncture, Mi Qian did not dare to buy food from the Chinese people anymore.

If a hat that colluded with outsiders was buckled, Mi Qian might not be able to protect the black hat.

Now if you want to get food, probably, the only way is to rely on the gentry in the council hall.

Mi Qian sighed and said with his sleeves: “Okay, come with me to the council hall.”

After a while, a sharp voice came from the door of the council hall: “The prefect is here—” The

gentlemen brought their tea and turned around. When he turned his head, he saw a smile on his face. He walked out of the inner room briskly, looked at the crowd, and cupped his hands again and again: “Everyone, you are involved in government affairs, delayed, delayed.” The

gentlemen hummed inwardly .

Yixiao: “That’s not it, if it is delayed, it will be delayed for 2 hours.” The

representative of the gentry said: “Your Excellency the prefect has a lot of time to deal with, and everything should focus on government affairs.”

Lao is the main representative of this group of gentry. He was fired for being on the wrong team and for his own misbehavior.

After returning to his hometown of Bailong City, he became an important figure in Bailong Chen Shishen because of his small fame, and he was also the pen holder of this group of gentlemen.

Prefect Mi rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, everyone, please take a seat.”

After the representatives of the gentry took their seats, Mi Qian continued: “I don’t know why you are here.”

Although Mi Qian knew what these gentry were going to do, he still had to pretend he didn’t know.

At this time, a man named Tao Ye among the gentry bowed his hands and said: “Master Prefect, I am waiting for this time to come here, I hope that Master Prefect will be able to see clearly, slay demons and eliminate demons, and clean up all those who confuse the White Dragon City and cause the plague of locusts. Mi Qian frowned slightly

,

and sure enough, these gentlemen directly pointed their finger at the Huaxia people.

Prefect Mi asked, “What do you mean?”

Tao Ye, the largest landlord in Bailong City and here, said directly: “Building railways, building roads, building ports, building factories, running farms, and planting gardens, all of which have greatly endangered the furry. Ah, destroying the furry feng shui caused the locust god to be angry and bring disaster to us today.

Iron is used to make farm implements and weapons, but Chinese people use it to build roads, which is against ethics.

Asphalt , cement, these unheard of monsters to build roads, how is it different from evil?

The port of Bailong City is used by Chinese people. Is it furry or Chinese?

Building factories, farms, and planting gardens, these Chinese people However, the farmers on our land were lured away with money, so that there were no farmers on our land to grow crops, resulting in the emergence of large tracts of wasteland. These are the culprits of this locust plague outbreak.

Huaxia people And falsely taking advantage of this locust plague to sell food to our high prices, this is clearly taking advantage of the fire. Your Excellency the

prefect, please look forward to it.”

Master Lao also said: “Lord Prefect, Bailong City must investigate and punish the factories, farms and plantations of the Chinese people, stop the construction of railways and highways, and demolish the port.

Otherwise, the anger of the locust god may break out. I am waiting

for

the people of White Dragon City, I can’t bear it!”

“This…”

It was a bit unexpected for Mi Qian that the gentry forced the palace so hard, but it was not the Huaxia people who sold the most food in White Dragon City, but the big ones like Tao Ye. Landlord.

They hoarded food, and took advantage of this time to raise the price of food, and sold the food bit by bit, squeezing the money of the people of Bailong City.

As far as Mi Qian knew the news, it was only if these gentlemen took out some of the food at home and sold them.

Not only will the food prices in Bailong City be suppressed, but the losses caused by this locust plague will also be greatly eased.

It’s just that Mi Qian knew that these guys wouldn’t do this, and when he was on the cusp, he didn’t dare to buy food from the Chinese.

After hesitating for a moment, Mi Qian said: “This is the rule of the imperial court, Bailong City is a trading port, and the Chinese people have the right to set up factories, farms and wharves here, and also have the right to build railways, highways and ports, because they have to deal with the Dagon mainland. The group is called Lucia’s Demon King’s Army.”

The opening of White Dragon City was largely caused by the two old actors of Huaxia and Lucia.

However, it is imminent for the gentry to become Chinese merchants, because they did not set up factories and workshops, and did not become merchants.

They, the land-bound gentry, the traditional furry class, are naturally the first to suffer in this era of drastic change.

At this time, Master Lao said coldly: “Lord Prefect, the Chinese people do have the right to do these things in White Dragon City.

But under this premise, they must abide by the rules of White Dragon City.

What if they didn’t follow the rules of White Dragon City, what if they set up factories and farms on the surface, but secretly did illegal things?

Please also ask the prefect to investigate and investigate, this group of people who caused the locust plague will never be so clean.

”

Branding means to let Mi Qian start with the word “illegal”, for example, if you don’t have a business license, for example, you don’t have a food business license, for example, you have not passed the fire inspection, for example, your hygiene conditions are not up to standard, for example, you The overdose of additives, etc. It is only necessary for the relevant yamen in

Bailongcheng

to investigate, and they will come out one, two, three, four or five. They will be labeled as illegal business operations, and they will be directly seized.

, I am willing to help the adults with a hand, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com to solve the culprit that caused this locust plague.

Although I have no food left for the landlord’s family, I am still willing to donate a little to help the prefect and stabilize the price of Bailong City.

At the same time, we will also provide a little hard work for the yamen, and we only hope that the yamen can find out the illegality as soon as possible.

“The

gentlemen promised Mi Qian the benefits, and Mi Qian immediately saw the hope of quelling the locust plague in Bailong City. Just to offend

the

Chinese people in this way made Mi Qian hesitate.

The public anger forced Mi Qian to accept the conditions put forward by the gentry, to stabilize the situation in Bailong City first, and then to compensate the Huaxia people later.

Mi Qian nodded and said slowly: “Regarding the ‘illegal’ business activities , I will ask someone to find out.

As for the locust plague in Bailong City, please help me.

”

“Lord Prefect, of course, I am also a member of White Dragon City.”
