93 Part 2 The Mongols invaded the south, and the troubled times came.

Zhou Dao's first reaction when he got the news was food. Lao Zhang arrived in the state capital, and he couldn't take a breath and rushed back to Ziyang to arrange for the grain to be harvested. Halfway through, he sent someone to bring a letter to Zhuxi Town. At the same time, before the news spread, Hesheng Grain Company controlled the sale of grain, only selling a small amount of grain for the people's daily use, and no longer shipped in large quantities, including shipping shipments to grain merchants in the state and city. The daily shipment of grain ships from the county seat to the state city happened to be blocked on Lao Zhang's way back from the state city to the county seat.

The war is still far away, and I won't be able to get here for a while, and now I see that all I can do is stock up on food. In this regard, Zhou Dao has no intention of working with the unprepared sentient beings who are not yet aware of the news in the rear for the sake of the overall situation, and it can be said that he is completely unconscious.

After sending Lao Zhang away, Zhou Dao immediately arranged for people to go directly to several grain numbers in the state city to buy grain separately, he estimated that there was at least half a day left, and he had to take advantage of this time difference. When they bought grain, they deliberately avoided the largest grain number in the state city, and collected rice, where they walked the path of the governor of the state, and they could not be offended.

In the afternoon, news came from Zhou Dao's subordinates that the rice collection store began to close its doors, saying that it was to take stock and open again in two days. After hearing this, Zhou Dao laughed dryly twice: "Hehe." Then he gave the guys who lived in the local area half a day off and told them to hurry home and buy food, but he didn't say why. The message has not been made public at this time. At the same time, they sent people back to Zhuxi and the county town to inform the families of the guys and buy food! I don't know why, just buy it!

Two days later, news of the Mongol invasion spread, and food prices skyrocketed. The grain numbers have closed their doors and are reluctant to sell. Gong Longitudinal: The end of the Song Dynasty is coming. The complete book is in three volumes, written by the slow hand Lao Zhang.

"The proprietor family is really good, fortunately I informed us, the day before yesterday I brought a letter to my family, and bought food with all the cash I could get. I'm also worried that they won't be willing to do what I say! Specially let the messenger repeat the instructions. Today, a family member came over and said that they had bought food, and they also told my sister's family and relatives about it. You see, it's only been two days, and now I want to buy it, what is the price? Where to buy? Huo Zuiliu said to a few guys gathered around, his face was full of happiness, as if he had made a lot of money, and there was no fear of going to war at all. Some guys bought less and sighed with regret. "I really shouldn't have listened to my father, he said that the price of food is expensive, and he can't buy it now, who the hell knows that there is going to be a war, and the owner didn't say it?" A guy muttered. "The owner told you to hurry up and buy food, you have to listen to your father, now it's okay?" "My father is in charge of the family's money and big things, what can I do if he doesn't nod? Ay! "Now you know who to listen to, right? Big things, listen to the owner more than listen to the old man in the house. When the owner cheated us, follow him! ”

Ziyang County, the small courtyard of Xu Bian's house. "What does Mr. Xu think of the current situation?" It was Zhou Dao who was questioned, and Xu Wei and Lao Zhang were sitting in the hall. "It's hard to say now, it depends on the development of the war. However, this time the Mongolian posture is indeed not small, it depends on whether the front can withstand it? "Does Xu Xian think he can withstand it?" Xu Wei shook his head silently, "It's hard to say, hey, it's still hanging!" "I haven't fought a big battle in more than ten years, and it seems to be chaotic again! What should come must come, and you can't hide from it. Lao Zhang sighed, and the room felt stuffy.

"What should we do?" Zhou Dao asked. Xu Wei glanced at Zhou Dao and asked rhetorically, "What are you going to do?" Zhou Dao groaned slightly, and did not sell Guan Zidao, "Avoid!" He paused, looked at Xu Zhang and the others, and at the same time sorted out his thoughts, "The big trend can't be avoided, but when it comes to us ordinary people, we can avoid it." Xu Zhang and the others were silent, and Zhou Dao continued, "Avoid the distinction between far and near. To avoid is to flee to the south of the Yangtze River or further south, or to the nearby mountains, in short, to places where the war cannot be reached for a while. "You think it's going to be here?" Xu asked. "I don't know, I'm not optimistic about it anyway, I always think it's going to get worse and worse. Zhou Dao replied. "How are you going to avoid it?" Xu Wei asked. "Mr. Xu, what do you think?" Zhou Dao asked rhetorically. "Both! Prepare with both hands. Xu argued. Zhou Dao looked at Lao Zhang as if asking, Lao Zhang didn't say anything, only nodded slightly. "Then do it! Although the war is still far away, the stakes are very important and must be guarded against. There are a lot of specific things, let's go into detail. After Zhou Dao finished speaking, he drank the tea.
