Hundreds of people gathered outside the door of the Shengdou Grain Store today, and they did not disperse in the morning.

It is the people of Waiguo, and there are also people who drag bags and carry wooden barrels to see the excitement.

The exchange of locusts for wheat is something that the government has only done in legends.

This is not a legend, as early as the reign of the Emperor of the Injong Dynasty, there was indeed a move by Kuraji to exchange locusts for wheat.

But it's been so long since then, and only the old man remembers it.

"How did you get here?" Wu Da changed into civilian clothes and shuttled through the crowd, and suddenly saw a few people who retreated when they saw him, went over and grabbed them out and asked angrily, "The Sprinkle family remembered that the yamen only sent you food?" ”

A servant said with a bitter face: "Team leader, the little food of seven or eight people in my family ......"

"Where did you get the locusts?" Wu Da saw him carrying half a bag of locusts on his back again, and his heart was shocked.

That family doesn't have the manpower to catch locusts anymore.

That guy is old and young, but his father and mother learned Li Kou's stall skills and now buys noodles in the city all day long.

He also sewed clothes for people to earn a living, and how could he earn a few catties of wheat every day.

So how many of his children are there?

Wu scolded angrily: "How big is the doll that you will send outside?" ”

Those few people lowered their heads with shame, and Wu Da understood it all now.

This is Wang's grain store and those rich households.

"Okay, everyone praises the Douliang Bank for doing things fairly...... Wu Da nodded over and sneered, "It's very good, if you have any needs in the future, don't be shy and ask Li Dalang for the family, then don't think about buying half and giving away." ”

The young servant smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law received locusts and only came to urge the Sprinkler family, what can I do with him?" ”

Wu Da was stunned for a moment, so to speak......

"Well, you can do it yourself." Wu Da was disheartened and turned around and left.

There was a shout in front of the material, and someone coaxed: "How can you only weigh eight catties of locusts that sprinkle your family's full ten catties?" ”

"Take it back and weigh it yourself." The weigher didn't give a good face, grabbed the bag and threw it out, shouting, "We won't accept such goods in the future." ”

Everyone looked at it urgently, and saw a worn-out bag, with a layer of sand under the bag, and a pile of locusts with bulging bellies, which were obviously stuffed with sand by the locust catchers to increase their weight.

The guy was a green-skinned man, and when he saw that the grain store had moved, he immediately plunged into the crowd and shouted, "They clearly have no food, this is a lie." ”

With such a method, Huang Shu couldn't bear to see it suddenly.

Li Kou had already told him what means the Wang Grain Store would have if it wanted to destroy it.

Now it seems that these are the real things.

"These villagers, please come here." Huang Shu came forward and invited seven or eight elders to the side, and ordered someone to invite more than a dozen elders among the displaced people in Qinzhou, and ordered someone to pick a few of the piles of locusts at random, and with a pair of scissors, he saw a pile of sand.

Huang Shu also ordered someone to bring a sieve and pass the locust and sand through it.

"Ben left you a way to live, to die!" Huang Shu took out the green skin, smashed his leg first with a stick, and ordered someone to hold seventy percent of locusts and three percent of sand, so that everyone could see it, and shouted, "How can these people be sent to the government if they don't twist it?" Come on, escort him to the government, and accuse him of the crime of distributing and recharging the army in the name of 'filling worms with sand and disrupting Weizhou's disaster relief'. ”

Three or five sturdy young people, all from Qinzhou and Weizhou, Li Kou has meat and vegetables every day in the past few months, one by one, and they are all good croppers, all of them have a body of muscles, only pressing the head of the green skin, pinching his arm, and a few more to push the helpers to the side, no one dared to stop at that time.

At this moment, more than a dozen people immediately ran away from the team.

Huang Shu said: "The wheat I raised to the grain store is genuine; Exchanging insects for wheat is a good lady, and she supports her with her own money, if you are not satisfied, and it is shoddy, then don't blame us for being ruthless. ”

Seeing that it was noon, the two cars on the side of the road were in a hurry, and the rich families in the city were in a hurry.

Here, how many of them are hoarding wheat and preparing to sell it at a high price in a disaster year?

That's not just the Wang family.

Shengdou Grain Bank is so disaster relief, how much way out of their backlog of food is there?

But no one can do anything to the Shengdou Grain Shop.

Li Da is too vicious, he is not only good friends with the military department, but also with the cangsi, although the Xiansi has a dirty relationship with him, but the Xiansi is now being dragged into the case of Pan Yuan's detention and murder by Pan Yuanzhi County, why do you want to entangle with him? Yesterday evening, Pingliang Zhixian also befriended him, who are these rich people looking for?

Even if you can find Qin Fenglu, what can you do?

Tong Guan can sit in Jingzhao Mansion to supervise it.

There are no tricks, they only cause trouble.

In addition, they have a trick and a half that they can use.

"Shengdou Grain Store doesn't have so much grain in stock, as long as the warehouse is cut off to supply them, they will collapse in three or five days." Chen Xiansi has adhered to this idea in the past few days, and is working everywhere in the state and county warehouses.

So what does Kuraji think?

"It's still very ambiguous, neither willing to cut off food, but also not giving a large amount to the Shengdou grain line." As noon approached, news came from behind the convoy.

The old man of the Wang family was in the front car, and his chest felt stuffy when he heard the news.

Why didn't he understand Kuraji's intentions?

They are waiting for the price to sell, just to see who bids higher.

"How many people are in the convoy sent by Ma Yizhen to Jingzhao Mansion?" Wang Laohan asked the third son.

Wang Sanlang scolded angrily: "I went to a batch last night, and I went out two more batches early this morning, and Ma Zhong escorted the convoy out again, did they really pin their hopes on Tong Guan's power eunuch?" ”

There was no word in the car for a long time, Wang Laohan saw that it was in the middle of the day, and he had to order his family to drive home first.

He understood what his father-in-law meant.

I didn't come to see him at this time, so that he could take out some more benefits and feed the officials of the Cangsi before he could take the food supply of Shengdou Grain Bank.

He was under a lot of pressure.

Once the Shengdou Grain Store was really able to hold out until the grain was transported from Jingzhao Mansion, the batch of wheat hoarded by the Wang Grain Store had to be sold at a loss with the Shengdou Grain Store.

Otherwise, after this summer, the wheat will be stale.

Naturally, the old grain can be sold as new grain, but Wang's grain store will supply a large amount of wheat to the military department this year.

He didn't dare to let the military secretary come to provoke again.

That in itself was to destroy the people of his royal family.

At this moment, I heard an earth-shattering shout from the east city in the distance.

Wang Laohan opened the car window and listened carefully, and vaguely heard someone shouting: "A lot of wheat!" ”

At this sound, Wang Laohan's heart changed suddenly.

Grain?

Where does the food come from?

At this time, the grain that arrived in Weizhou could only be the Shengdou grain line.

But where did they get so much food so quickly?

Gradually, some people ran here wildly, and there were more than a dozen old men, all shouting: "Da Lang, Erlang, San Lang, don't worry, there is food, there is food, there is a lot of food in Shengdou Grain." ”

Someone else shouted: "Ten carts of wheat were splashed at the gate of the city, and even the road was blocked." ”

The crowd shouted: "Ah Da, can you see clearly that it is food?" Not dirt? ”

Rushing wildly, he shouted: "It's grain, ten carts, Ma Zhong said that there are dozens of carts, Li Da said personally, the price of grain in Weizhou will never rise, not a penny will rise, go quickly, you pack your clothes, Li Dalang said to recruit workers, you go quickly." ”

Wang Laohan jumped out of the car, and his feet were unstable.

Soon, he saw ten carts, escorted by dozens of people, coming briskly from the end of the street, and Uncle Zhong was talking to people all the way in front of him, and on the cart, there were a few broken bags, and what was flowing out of them was not the new wheat?

Wang Laohan rushed to his head with a stream of blood.

It was as if he had seen the fate of the hoarded grain.
