In the lobby of the Qin family, in the face of the current shortage of food, Ye Fei also felt that he should do something.

"I still have some money here, so let's use it first, at least for a little longer. ”

Ye Fei took out a stack of silver tickets from the small burden on his body, as well as about a hundred taels of gold, and put them on the big table of Qin Shujin's main seat, and those silver tickets were almost 30,000 taels of gold.

These were originally used to buy star-patterned iron to make weapons, but now it seems that they can only be saved slowly, let Qin Qisheng use it to buy food to help those people.

"How can this make it! Helping those people is just my own wayward move, how can I get your benefactor to pay for food yourself. ”

Qin Shujin was absolutely reluctant to touch the money that Ye Fei took out and put on the table, he had already dragged down the entire Qin family by doing this, but no matter how he said it, it was also a family that he had worked hard to create, and others couldn't say anything more about spending this money.

But now that Ye Fei has also taken out his net worth to do this relief with him, he naturally can't accept it.

"How can it be said that it is your own business! Could it be that you think that I, Ye Fei, can't do what you can for those hard-working people, this money is what I want to do, hurry up and let Qin Qisheng take it to buy food, don't talk so much nonsense." ”

After Ye Fei put down the money, he went back to his place and sat down, without any intention of taking it back.

"Why bother! Even with the addition of these tens of thousands of taels, that is, enough for the people in Jingque City who are short of food to survive, people in other places still have no choice.

If it was just for the people of Jingque City, my Qin family would have been able to insist on relief from the beginning, and I wouldn't have to go out to do the bounty task in person, but I wouldn't be able to watch those hungry people, but only save some!"

Qin Shujin's words, Ye Fei understood, if it was only for relief, the Qin family would be able to do it, and the current difficulties were not for those people in the surrounding towns and villages to be able to eat.

Therefore, Duoye Fei's money is useless, and he still has to give up helping people outside Jingque City.

"I thought the same way at first, I always thought that my little effort couldn't solve anything at all, but I still can't just look at it because of this, but do nothing, how much can I relieve!"

Ye Fei had already said this, and Qin Shujin couldn't delay it any longer, so he could only let Qin Qisheng take the money to buy food.

Originally, Ye Fei thought that things would at least be able to hold on to it for a while, but in the end, he still had a business trip.

"Grandpa, my grandson is not doing well, and I can't buy food. ”

Qin Qisheng went out to buy food in the afternoon and came back, but the result was a little unexpected for Qin Shujin, and Ye Fei, who was teaching the two young juniors of the Qin family in the backyard, also returned to the lobby.

"What's going on? Isn't there already more than 30,000 taels of gold, how can you not buy grain!"

Under Qin Shujin's inquiry, Qin Qisheng began to explain the matter slowly.

"During this time, our Qin family continued to buy grain, and the price of grain also rose again and again, and when I went to buy it today, it had risen more than thirty times, it was simply asking for a price in the sky, taking advantage of the fire to rob!

The grandson was so angry that he didn't get any food in the end. ”

The rise in grain prices was expected, but I didn't expect it to rise like this, and it was obvious that the grain merchant knew that the Qin family wanted to buy a large amount of grain to relieve those people, and took the opportunity to raise prices.

"These businessmen are doing this, as if they are indirectly killing those people, and the government doesn't care about such a thing?"

Ye Fei was a little puzzled, such a price hike, it stands to reason that the government should always be in charge.

"If you can't manage it, you won't care about it. ”

Qin Qisheng shook his head at this.

"Buy a large amount of grain, only a big trading house can have a large amount of grain to buy, and that big trading house, behind it is a joint establishment of several big families, among which even the city lord and the yamen have a share, where will they move their own money bags. ”

Ye Fei's hand on the armrest of the chair couldn't help but clench hard, thinking about it, an industry can become bigger, how can there be no strong background behind him!

"At this price, even if you buy grain, the food that was originally only enough for the people in Jingque City who are short of food to support is now not enough to survive the winter. ”

Qin Qisheng's words, Ye Fei and Qin Shujin naturally understood that they really couldn't buy it at such a price, but if they didn't buy it, where would they go to find food?

"Was that the case before? ”

Ye Fei didn't know much about these things, and he hadn't encountered a situation where he had no food.

"It used to be, but it wasn't as serious as this year, mainly because of the war at the border pass, otherwise my Qin family would be able to survive the winter safely.

But this year, the border is in an emergency, and there is a levy on grain and taxes, and even young and strong people have been conscripted to serve as soldiers, so multiple difficulties are intertwined, and I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe this year, and I don't know how many people will die!"

Qin Shujin's face was full of sadness, but he was powerless to return to the sky.

"There are so many people who really die, and it is impossible for the court to ignore it. ”

"It is true that it will not be ignored, and there will be some relief food at that time, but only some relief will be provided, and the rest will either have some kind-hearted families and businessmen who will give food and porridge to help some of them, or those who are suffering can only sell themselves to those big clans for food, and the others can only starve to death and freeze to death.

It is estimated that there will be millions of victims in the country, and more than 100,000 or 200,000 people will eventually die. ”

Ye Fei stood up silently, took the long knife and walked outside.

"Qisheng, where is that firm? ”

"What is the benefactor going to do?"

Qin Qisheng and Qin Shujin were a little puzzled, but they seemed to vaguely think of something.

"I didn't have to do anything, I just went over to get food, by the way, I called some people and cars to go over to transport food. ”

Sure enough, Qin Qisheng looked at Qin Shujin with some uncertainty, Qin Shujin closed his eyes, and hesitated in his heart, but finally nodded.

When Qin Qisheng saw it, he hurriedly caught up with Ye Fei and led the way for him in front, and at the same time called the steward to call some subordinates to follow and prepare to transport grain.

Gudao Commercial Bank, this is a large commercial house in the north that is mainly engaged in food categories, and only in such a place can a large amount of grain be collected at one time, which is also where Qin Qisheng buys grain.

"Yo, Gongzi Qin, are you sure if you want to buy grain?"

The steward in the trading house was very familiar with Qin Qisheng, and this son of the Qin family bought a large amount of grain back and forth.

Originally, they only raised the price a little bit, and the price was about ten times higher, but the son of the Qin family still continued to buy a large amount of grain.

After the master family in the back knew the situation, let them double the price at one time, the old lady of the Qin family is a bad person, winter is coming, and in the face of a large number of people who have no food to eat, I am not afraid that he will not buy it.

The forces behind the Ancient Dao Trading House were not mistaken, if they really continued to develop like this, Qin Shujin would really choose to use the money from the cultivation resources of those family martial artists in the end, and then use it to buy high-priced food to relieve the victims.

But now that they have unknowingly provoked Ye Fei, they can ignore the suffering people, after all, doing good is a personal matter, and no one can ask others to do good deeds.

But they should not be doing other people's good deeds to delay and cause trouble to others, he Ye Fei has already chosen to take out the money to buy the materials for the casting knife to buy food, since he dares to take advantage of the fire to rob and raise the price like this.

Unforgivable!

"We don't buy food. ”

The person in charge didn't get Qin Qisheng's reply, but Ye Fei next to him spoke first.

"Don't buy it, hehe, if you don't buy it, what are you doing here, you must know that the price is still very reasonable, after all, the food is getting tighter and tighter, and it is estimated that it will rise in the future!"

The steward's face had a smirk on his face, an expression that he was sure of you.

"We're here to get the grain this time, and you can show the way where the grain goes. ”

The person in charge made Ye Fei's words confused.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to buy it? ”

Ye Fei explained briefly to the steward with a smile on his face.

"We only take grain and don't give money, how can we call it buying!"

Good guy, it turns out that you are coming here to rob it, I really don't know whether to live or die.

"Don't you take our ancient road business firm in your eyes! Dare to come up here to make trouble, come here! ”

The smirk on the steward's face after hearing Ye Fei's words was also put away, and with a shout, a group of martial artists from the Qi Cultivation Realm and the Acquired Realm rushed out of the backyard.
