However, when it was Yuan Feng's turn, a man suddenly stood in front of him from the rice shop, holding a bucket made of a large iron sheet, and shouted at the people in line, I don't know what that thing is made of, and the voice is surprisingly loud.

"Attention, everyone, our store is sold out today, please come back tomorrow."

"Wow", there was a commotion in the crowd.

"We're still in line, how can we say that if we don't sell it, we won't sell it."

Yuan Feng was also a little anxious, he hurriedly approached the man and said, "Shopkeeper, I've been in line for a day, you can't let me run for nothing." ”

The person who came out to shout seemed quite kind, and seeing that the people in line behind him were complaining, he turned around and discussed a few words with the person behind him, and shouted to everyone again.

"In view of the fact that everyone has been queuing for a day, in order to avoid everyone's efforts in vain, those who arrive today can go to our store to receive a voucher, and tomorrow you can have priority purchase of vouchers."

"Haha, that's a good idea."

"This Liu family is very fair in handling things, why is it not like what outsiders say."

Yuan Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his good impression of the Liu family has also improved a lot, maybe it is really out of stock, which is no wonder, but it is also great to be able to take care of everyone's emotions.

Liujiacun is already familiar with playing with documents, and immediately someone asked Li Dafu, who was in charge of the scene, for instructions, and after getting his approval, several small people took out a few pieces of jade paper, cut them into small pieces, wrote the numbers and distributed them.

This jade paper is made of fairy palace bamboo in Liu Ximing's space, and it is the only one in the world, and I am not afraid that they will take it to fake.

Although Yuan Feng repeatedly failed the exam, he was also a child, but the small piece of paper sent to him by the Liu family made him a little incomprehensible.

Two circles and a vertical line were neatly drawn on it, and the people in the rice shop said that this represented the number one.

Yuan Feng shook his head a little sarcastically and put away the piece of paper, probably because it was a code name used by someone else at home.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong, and took out the piece of paper again to examine it, and found that it was not like ordinary white paper.

The pure white crystal reveals a pale green, which looks like a work of art.

"Shopkeeper", Yuan Feng became interested, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around the person who spoke before, so he leaned up and asked, "I don't know where this paper is sold?" ”

The man smiled and pointed to the shop next to the same Han Yuan firm, "This gentleman, this is my family's specialty jade paper, the only one in the world, the so-called tough and moist, light but not slippery, see Mr. is also a reader, if you are interested, you can buy it and try it." ”

"Then I'll take a look", Yuan Feng was aroused, anyway, it was still early, so he raised his feet and walked towards the shop next to him.

Before Yuan Feng could walk down the steps of the rice shop, a swarthy man in a short shirt in front of the store said to a person next to him as if unintentionally: "Have you heard, the price of rice in the city is about to rise sharply." ”

"What, how is it possible, didn't it just go up last year?"

Yuan Feng's ears stood up and stopped.

The swarthy man smiled contemptuously, and said in a small voice: "This year, the weather is dry and dry, except for the land near the river, which has not been affected, and there are no other places where there are disasters and famines, and there are ......."

There was a hint of mystery on the man's face, but his voice became louder, "Didn't you see that these big families in the city have closed their shops, what do you think they want to do, it's not to let us take the initiative to beg them to open a store when we can't hold back, and then the price of rice will probably rise to the sky." ”

The person who was chatting with him looked panicked, "But, but this Liujia rice shop is still open, and it sells cheaper than others." ”

"Hehe, the Liu family's melon babies, their head of the family says every day that they want to benefit the township and give back to the township, but you see what's going on, this time it was targeted by the big families in the city, you see, in two days, they will either close the store, or they will have to increase the price."

The man's words spread through the crowd as if they were magical.

Seeing that Liu's shop was already preparing to close, many people who were originally planning to leave suddenly rushed up, all wanting to find out.

"Let's go back first, it's hard for us to say anything about things in the city, my Liu family wants to help a group of villagers, but I can't help ......, hey, don't talk about it, anyway, everyone has a voucher in their hands, and they will buy food at this price tomorrow."

The shopkeeper before looked at the onlookers with a sympathetic look and said such a thing, and when he finally turned around, he muttered in a small voice: "If you can save one, you can save one." ”

"Wow"

Now the people on the street are even more panicked.

In the evening, various versions of the rumors spread more and more widely, such as "Lu Zhenghao colluded with Zhang Xianzhong to come in soon", "the big families in the city are ready to rebel" and other rumors came out.

Liu Ximing heard from the guard group sent out to keep an eye on him that he saw Lu Zhenghao drop several sets of tea sets at home with his own eyes, which made him, Dou Yuquan and others laugh.

On the morning of the next day, Liujiacun's fleet headed by the No. 001 three-masted ship arrived at the East Gate Wharf of Fucheng.

Yesterday, I received an urgent report from Liu Ximing that Liujia Village's commercial and rural houses and other departments worked overtime overnight to load goods, and a total of 10,000 stone of rice, 2,000 horses of cotton cloth and other daily necessities filled 20 boats.

The merchant also sent people to inform the Fuhua firm overnight that these people would help collect medicinal materials, soybean oil and other goods, in short, according to Liu Ximing's instructions, if there was a big fight.

"Stop, no unloading is allowed here."

Shao Derong personally escorted the convoy with the second regiment, and as soon as he stepped out of the cabin, he heard a dispute on the dock.

"What's going on?" , Shao Derong pushed away several commercial houses in front of him and walked out of the boat.

"Shao, Shao Zongqi, the messenger of this government will not let us unload!"

Liu Xihe's eldest son, Liu Jiaxiang, was sent to the commercial house as a walker, and at this time he was confronting those officials.

Shao Derong was wearing a half-waist armor with fish scales, a phoenix-winged pointed helmet, and the rapid development of his body in the past two years made him look particularly powerful and majestic.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately suppressed the momentum of these officials.

"We're escorting military supplies, who dares to stop us?"

The foreman's official retreated two steps back with some fear, "This military master, the lord of the mansion has given an order, there have been chaotic soldiers and spies infesting the city recently, and it is strictly forbidden for any caravan to enter and leave the city, so as not to be exploited by them." ”

After speaking, he took out a document from his arms and raised it, Shao Derong gathered his eyes to see that it was indeed stamped with the big seal of the government.

Song Baoyi, the leader of the second song, asked in a low voice behind Shao Derong: "Leader, what should we do?" ”

Shao Derong turned his head to look at Liu Jiaxiang, who was full of anger, and then looked at the heavily armed brigade officials at the port, took a deep breath and said, "Go back to the ship first, and send a few people into the city to report to the second brother." ”

"We won't be stopped when we go into the city alone, right?"

Shao Derong looked at the leading official after Song Baoyi finished speaking.

"No, no", the man smiled, "The government said, only check the team." ”

"Hmph"

After two teas, Liu Ximing received news from Shao Derong.

"Interesting", Liu Ximing smiled and flicked the lid of the teacup in his hand, "There are really any cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, then let's see who can have the last laugh." ”

Now that the fleet has arrived at the dock, Liu Ximing is not in a hurry, anyway, he has space, so it's a big deal to go out and transport things into the city by himself.

Lu Zhenghao obviously won't just send people to block the dock, just take this opportunity to see what means these big dogs have.

A hint of fierceness flashed in Liu Ximing's eyes.

With the replenishment of goods, the Liu family's shops in the city are still open for business, but they only sell 300 stone a day, and they will close directly after they are sold.

This amount of food is only half of the city's daily consumption, and although most families have some food in stock, the panic has begun to grow.

Yuan Feng got his wish and bought rice early the next morning, but each person could only buy three liters of rice, which was just enough for their family of four to eat for about three days.

He had planned to queue up again to buy some rice, but when he looked at the long queue that was discharging from Konger Street in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh and turn around and go home.

I heard that some people are starting to resell the vouchers of Liujia Rice Shop now, and you can buy a liter of rice for 20 wen on a certificate.

Yuan Feng shook his head, a little glad that he was prescient.
