Chapter 1237: Injustice
Sure enough, in just three days, the behavior of the entire Northland became more and more severe. Originally, it was not easy for the north to maintain stability, and it was already very rare that there was no civil unrest in such a catastrophic year.
Nowadays, the grain supply in the entire northern land is all led by the Lin family grain store, which controls the basic stability of prices, so that the people can have food to eat, and they can afford to eat food.
But now, because of the Meng family's horizontal insertion, several large grain shops have all raised their prices, and they have quadrupled all of a sudden, which has caused the psychology of the grain merchants to fluctuate, and the small grain merchants have also begun to raise the price of grain, how can the people not panic?
At this time, the Lin family guarded the grain and refused to let it go, so naturally some people would be dissatisfied. As the saying goes, there are always people who bully the weak and fear the hard, not to mention that there are Meng family members fanning the flames behind them, and even sending people to make trouble directly, within three days, in various cities, there are troublemakers in front of the Lin family's grain store.
It's just that the Lin family has a deep heritage, and Lin Xi is the master, so it's not easy for someone to make trouble, Han Yuchen directly dropped the army and went over, and the scoundrel who made trouble was honest.
But this incident still made the people of the north uneasy, that is, in the past two days, the Lin family's worship posts have also increased, cherry, looking at so many posts, I am faintly dissatisfied in my heart.
"In the past two days, more and more people have come to send posts, and they all seem to be moved by the wind and want to find out the news." Cherry said so, and shouted for Lin Xi in her heart. This Northland can have the stable situation it has today, and what effort has her young lady spent on it! But this group is not satisfied.
"Who are they?" Lin Xi asked while looking at the account book, without raising his head.
"In addition to the official wives of these cities, there are also some merchants. I think that these official wives are not here for the sake of food, but for fear that food prices will fluctuate and cause riots, and the north is not safe, so they want to inquire about the real news. And these merchant ladies, it's hard to say what kind of mind they have. ”
Cherry, after saying this, she pursed her lips, and Lin Xi glanced up at her. Sure enough, in addition to cherries, there are also small peaches here, and both of them have not very good expressions, as if they have suffered some big grievances.
"What's wrong with you two? Is someone angry with you? Lin Xi asked with a smile.
"Miss, at this time, you can still laugh!" Xiao Tao's temper is the straightest, and she doesn't have any scheming, but now she just thinks that these things have happened to make people breathless, but she can't say anything big.
"Why don't I laugh? What's there to be angry about. Lin Xi shook his head and said this, as if he was really not angry.
"Miss, I think they're bullying us. They are so temperamental, why don't they besiege the shops that are driving up the price of food? It's not that I think Miss is so good! I don't think our Lin family will do anything to them. To put it bluntly, the persimmon picks up the soft pinch, but our Lin family is powerful, but the young lady is soft-hearted. Xiao Tao said so, and this was his idea.
"Shibei should be impressed for three days, I really didn't expect our little peach to have such a smart day, and he actually understood it." Lin Xi said this, he smiled, but he really didn't expect Xiao Tao to be able to see clearly.
"Where did she come up with this? It's not like there's anyone behind you on demand yet. Cherry held her breath, covered her mouth and said with a smile, and made fun of Xiao Tao by the way.
"Oh, who has the ability to do this? I really want to know. Lin Xi then said this, and saw Xiao Tao's face flush violently.
"Who else but Han Dong? I really didn't expect such a cold person to be able to patiently talk to him about these things. ”
Cherry said this, and laughed again, she also saw it by accident, she didn't expect Han Dong to be so patient, it's not that Xiao Tao is stupid, it's too stupid, such a simple thing, Han Dong actually said it three times inside and out before explaining.
"You are not serious, now I am talking to Miss about the major affairs of our Lin family, how can you still have the heart to make fun of my affairs!" Xiao Tao was red-faced by what Cherry said, but he didn't deny it, he had originally heard what Han Dong said, and there was no need for him to lie.
"What's the big deal, it's worth it for you to be in such a hurry. Isn't that what people are? They just want to come to me for their own benefit. Compared with those who fall into the well, add fuel to the fire, and harm people behind their backs, I don't know how much better. ”
Lin Xi put down the account book, and said so slowly with the maids, at this time, Gui Yuan also walked in, although he only listened to half of it, but he also understood what they were talking about.
"But the people shouldn't be like this, how much heart has Miss worried about them! How can they take revenge? Xiao Tao asked, Cherry's eyes flashed, and her face became a little ugly.
"You stupid girl, what did they do? It is the grace that will take revenge. Did they smash the Lin family's grain store? Or did they come to the door of Lin's house to scold? Lin Xi asked, Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"In my opinion, they didn't do that, they just weren't forced into their jobs."
Cherry said suddenly, her expression was very serious, she looked at the long term than Xiao Tao, now these don't matter, what matters matters, what kind of consequences will they face if things continue to develop like this.
"I wasn't forced to do my part, it was. We have soldiers and horses in our hands, and the people still have to take risks for food, although it is not excluded that some people are inciting behind their backs, but they are indeed panicking. Now, just a few rumors can stir up the hearts of the people, and if they really get to the point of not having enough to eat, what do you think they will do? “
As soon as Lin Xi said this, the three maids stopped squeaking, disaster victims. No one wants to be a disaster victim, but when a disaster occurs, it can be a large-scale disaster.
"We all understand what Miss said." Gui Yuan said that people will lose their rationality in order to survive.
"Therefore, as it is now, it is not called any grace and revenge. And I don't care if they will remember our kindness, all we have to do is not let the victims show up, no matter what means are used. Lin Xi said this, and the maids nodded.
"But Miss, if the price of this grain continues to rise like this, the people will soon be unable to afford to eat food." Xiao Tao said worriedly, will there really be no victims at that time?
"Don't worry, this won't happen, and the people will have food to eat." Lin Xiru said, with a confident face, which made the three maids feel at ease.
Every time Miss has this expression, it means that she has a way to deal with it, and if she thinks about it, this time the matter will definitely be solved safely.
