readx;? It's just that the policeman's statement doesn't seem to have attracted much attention on the whole street, on the contrary, the merchants on the street gather in twos and threes, and no one takes their words to heart except for pointing fingers at the two policemen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing that these merchants were all disapproving, the two policemen suddenly couldn't hold back their faces, and they were angry, and they didn't have a good temper when they treated these merchants.

The policeman, who was a little younger of the two, could not hold back his anger, so he erupted and opened fire on the profiteers all over the street.

This time, they scolded repeatedly, and their tone was merciless.

The posture of the two was full, and finally angered the merchants on the entire street. Suddenly, all the businesses on the street spoke out to refute the arguments of the two policemen.

Some merchants say that they are running a small business, and if the price of grain is high, then according to the normal way of maintaining business, it is natural to increase the selling price in order to maintain a normal level.

Some merchants also said that this is the practice of the market, and that buying and selling is originally based on the merchant's own ability and sales method to divide the high and low, and it has always been self-financing, making more and earning less, which is the businessman's own business, and the government insists on intervening and forcibly buying and selling, but it is to mess up the market and meddle in things.

Some people even said indignantly on the spot that since the government is unreasonable and plays tricks, it is better to simply boycott the market......

For a while, it caused public anger, the crowd was surging, the opinions were different, the scene was almost out of control, and the two policemen were also a little helpless in the face of such a scene. Regardless of whether their law enforcement is reasonable or not, just relying on the two of them to face such a huge opposition, they are obviously weak and unable to control the out-of-control scene.

As a result, the two policemen could only hold their breath for the time being, and did not make any further hostile moves, so as not to provoke them and cause the situation to spiral out of control.

In desperation, the two policemen could only blush, turn around and leave, seeking other ways.

And this scene was thought by the merchants who were clamoring with confidence, and the two policemen had to leave the scene in a gloomy manner. And this made the merchants on the street even more proud, and suddenly burst into bursts of enthusiastic cheers, as if to celebrate their victory.

Not only that, but even the ordinary people who were originally only watching the excitement from the sidelines, seeing that the merchants had won this "war of words", began to excitedly echo the merchants, as if the merchants let the police not eat and walk, that is, they got a victory, and their victory is equivalent to the victory of the small people over the government. For a moment, there seemed to be a high mood in the street that was about to fight against repression and fight for freedom.

However, this spontaneous fighting mood was quickly replaced by another anger after a short while.

It turned out that after a short period of time, those people who were still supporting the merchants discovered a fact that made them extremely angry -- the price of grain sold by the merchants had risen to an extremely unreasonable level! Therefore, the people immediately turned their guns around and opened their mouths one after another to accuse the merchants of illegal operations. Guilt and anger caused another burst of angry scolding in the street.

In fact, rising food prices will only harm civilians, not civilians......

Fortunately, the people's remorse did not last long. About a quarter of an hour later, the officials of the Civil Affairs Bureau, together with more than 20 Shucheng policemen, came to the street again with seals.

This time, the officials of the Civil Affairs Bureau completely regained the leading power of public opinion on the streets, and publicly condemned the malicious act of the grain store manager for spontaneously disrupting the order of the commodity market, and did not allow him to say anything about it: "You are suspected of speculation, deliberately raising the price of grain, and causing social unrest...... According to the Imperial Decree, your actions have caused harm to the public safety of Shucheng, and the Empire will punish you in accordance with the law. The goods in the store should be temporarily sealed for a hearing......"

Unlike just now, this time, under the menacing threat of the officials of the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Shucheng police, the shopkeeper of the grain store, who has lost the support of public opinion, can no longer maintain that natural posture, and can only beg for mercy from the officials who are preparing to close the store.

However, the Shucheng police completely ignored the grain storekeeper's pleas for mercy, and quickly forced the door of the store to be closed and affixed a seal issued by the government.

As soon as the seal of the government is affixed, according to the law, no one is allowed to touch or damage the seal in private unless the government unseals it, and if it is violated, it will be regarded as contempt of the government and will be punished.

Therefore, as soon as this seal was pasted, the shopkeeper of the grain store suddenly fell to the ground in a daze, his face was full of astonishment and shock, as if he had just discovered the fact that he was powerless to return to the sky.

Not only that, after sealing the grain store, the Shucheng police also posted a notice just issued by the government on a bulletin board placed in the middle of the street: The Lord of Shucheng City Guard has passed a decree on cracking down on speculation.

After the announcement was posted, officials of the Civil Affairs Bureau, facing the crowd of onlookers, formally and solemnly read out the government's decree, emphasizing: "From now on, the large-scale monopoly of grain business will be implemented. Any large-scale grain store that does not have a license issued by the government is deemed invalid and cannot open a store to deal in grain. At the same time, without a business license, no individual or organization can purchase grain on a large scale. It is forbidden for grain traders to deliberately raise grain prices and undermine the market, and once they are found again, they will be severely punished, and there will be no light ......."

As soon as the decree came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the merchants whispered to each other, but many people immediately shouted hello. The strict management of the Shucheng government once again won the full support of the people.

Shortly after the Shucheng officials announced the decree, the grain and oil stores on the street also closed their doors one after another, as if they were worried about becoming the next store to be seized, and they also seemed to discuss with each other to plan a countermeasure in order to wait and see the situation.

But at least, the actions of the officials in Shucheng were ultimately successful, effectively and quickly stopping the vicious price hike this time, re-maintaining the normal order of Shucheng, and ending a turmoil.

The Shucheng Police Department, civil affairs bureau officials and senior police officers are meeting to study and discuss the incident and how to deal with the reaction of the grain merchants.

"My lord, these grain merchants are so uncooperative with our work, they must have an affair with the Black Dragon Society!" Some people thought that the reason why these merchants dared to launch this vicious price hike without permission must be that there must be forces behind them.

"I know, but we can't catch them all. If we arrest the grain merchants, there will definitely be rumors that the Xinghua army has run out of grain and grass and is robbing grain, so they will attack the grain merchants, and the people will not know if there is another hidden story behind it. ”

During the meeting, everyone had their own views and concerns, and it was inevitable that some disputes would occur.

Cha Eun-in is in charge of presiding over affairs, and he listens to everyone's opinions, and he has some idea in his heart.

In fact, Cha Eun-in was against the arrest of grain merchants.

He believes that most grain merchants may not know about it, even if there are really people secretly colluding with the Black Dragon Society, they are just a few who are making waves, and they will never be all grain merchants.

In addition, Cha Eun-in believes that the government should not focus on how to arrest grain merchants. First, the granary of Shucheng was burned down, and there was indeed a shortage of grain and grass; second, the people of Shucheng knew that something had happened to the granary, and they were generally worried about the lack of grain. These two reasons are the root causes of rising food prices and unstable people's morale.

It's just that the high-level officials of Yunzhou know one thing, although there is an accident in the Shucheng granary, there is no shortage of food to affect the entire city. Therefore, this is a deliberate person spreading rumors and deliberately creating panic. The people of the Black Dragon Society stopped the Xinghua Empire's grain transportation team in order to create panic and disrupt the order of Yunzhou.

"In any case, the arrest operation cannot be stopped, and the members of the Black Dragon Society will be dealt with severely. I want everyone to know that the Black Dragon Society is a vile, dirty, and criminal organization. This is an organization that commits crimes in the name of recovering the country. Any organization or individual who reports a member of the Black Dragon Society will not be able to disclose their identity. You should not limit yourself to their voluntary reporting, but conditionally develop some informants. Che Enren said at the meeting, reminding the Shucheng police that some means can be used.

Cha Eun-in's words can be regarded as setting the nature of this turmoil.

The Shucheng Police Department can be regarded as having a law to follow, and it knows how to deal with it.

However, Che Enren contacted the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce branch in Shucheng and suggested that the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce contribute funds to open a newspaper and run a newspaper to seize the high ground of public opinion.

Yi Xingchen and the others rushed for two days and finally arrived in Shucheng.

Qin Zhengguo, Zhao Chang and others got the news and greeted them at the city gate.

"Welcome Your Majesty, come to Shucheng!" Qin Zhengguo and the others greeted Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen didn't have the idea of wasting time at the city gate, and asked Qin Zhengguo to lead the way in front and take them to the place where they stayed.

Qin Zhengguo directly led Yi Xingchen to the city guard mansion, and the residence that Qin Zhengguo arranged for the emperor was the city guard mansion. Qin Zhengguo moved to a compound next to the Chengshou Mansion.

The castle guard mansion has complete defense facilities, not only high walls, but also high towers, and the place is also very spacious, which meets Yi Xingchen's expectations.

The royal guards brought by Yi Xingchen took over the city guard.

Yi Xingchen lived in the city guard, and the first thing he did was to order the soldiers to move the food out of the space passage.

Qin Zhengguo, Zhao Chang and other Shucheng officials were relieved to see the grain piled up like a hill. Because of the timely delivery of these grains, the dilemma of Shucheng was solved.

"I want to know about the situation at the Sword Pass?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Your Majesty, the enemy continues to attack the Sword Pass. However, under the desperate battle of our army, the sword pass is still in the hands of our army and has never been lost. Qin Zhengguo said.

"Are there any difficulties?" Yi Xingchen asked again.

"Wei Changhai, the defender of Jianguan, sent a telegram informing him that the ammunition was running out of ammunition and asked for support!" replied Qin Zhengguo.

"I see. You first go and organize the manpower and grain carts in Shucheng, and transport the grain and grass to the new warehouse overnight. At this moment, I hope that there will be no chaos in Shucheng, and I don't want to see the people of Yunzhou unstable. Yi Xingchen said.

Qin Zhengguo and Zhao Chang retired and immediately began to arrange the transportation of grain.

Yi Xingchen also left the hall of the City Shou Mansion and went to the study of the City Shou Mansion. During this period, he also sent soldiers to see the situation of grain transfer in order to report in time.

This batch of grain was personally escorted by the emperor, and Qin Zhengguo and others attached great importance to it, and no one dared to ignore it, so they quickly arranged for the transfer of manpower.

Yi Xingchen didn't keep an eye on Qin Zhengguo all the time, he still had a lot of things that needed to be solved one by one, and time was tight.

Yi Xingchen chose the study room of the City Shou Mansion for the convenience of guarding, and he wanted to go back to Blue Mercury.

"Yan En, arrange the manpower and guard this study. Ten minutes later, you come back to Blue Mercury with me. Yi Xingchen said to Yan En.

Yan En nodded, and immediately went out to arrange the soldiers of the Guard.

Five minutes later, a squad of 100 guards, armed with various weapons, guarded the study inside and out.

Yi Xingchen returned to Blue Mercury through a space passage for the purpose of purchasing food and munitions.

It was difficult for the grain of the Xinghua Empire to be concentrated in Yunzhou, and it was equally difficult to transport the arms.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen plans to purchase at Blue Mercury.

In fact, in addition to procuring food, avoiding international attention, it will take some time, slowly. Purchasing ammunition on Blue Mercury is the easiest. Most countries' arms factories can meet Yi Xingchen's needs. It's just that this time, Yi Xingchen also wants to purchase more powerful arms.

In this war, Yi Xingchen had a hunch that it would not end easily. Coupled with the fact that the Xia Kingdom is pouring into the country, it is difficult to guarantee that they do not have any secret weapons. Yi Xingchen needs to prepare in advance.

If it were possible, Yi Xingchen would have liked a nuclear bomb. It's a pity that Yi Xingchen has no way. Moreover, James told Yi Xingchen that sometimes, some news of selling nuclear bombs on the black market was deliberately released by the United States or some countries to lure people into being deceived.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen never thought of going to the black market to buy arms. Yi Xingchen has always used formal channels to buy arms, and he has directly asked some countries to buy them.

"Yan En, give me Huaguo's arms sales catalog. Yi Xingchen remembered that the last time he traded, Huaguo's military gave him a catalogue of arms sales. At that time, Yan En copied a PDF document and stored it on the computer.

Yan En took out her tablet, quickly called up the document, and then presented it to Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen carefully browsed the document and said: "Multiple rocket launchers, large-caliber artillery...... Placed an order with the Chinese side to purchase these arms goods. ”

Yan En carefully recorded Yi Xingchen's request and asked, "Your Majesty, these weapons have to be transported from China to Africa, which is a bit far. ”

"If China is willing to sell MLRS, I would be happy to go to China to receive the goods in person. Yi Xingchen said.

Yan En nodded, said that he understood, and immediately went to the letter to inquire about the arms sales to Huaguo. (To be continued.) )
