Since the arrival of the refugee tide, it has been more than a month, and now Zhang Xianzhong and others have left Henan, although Sun Shirui has widely announced the news among the many people and refugees, but the number of refugees has decreased is very small, many refugees are still reluctant to go, and there are still 30,000 refugees in the entire Anlu County, which has brought great pressure to Sun Shirui.

First of all, the food problem, Sun Shirui asked Qin Yiming to borrow 20,000 stone of grain, and now there is not much left, now there are fewer refugees, but the soup soup is more grain and rice needed every day, because the rice and grain in the city are not easy to buy, it is almost to the point that the people have no rice to buy, only the Xu family has a thick foundation, and insists that the rice shop is open for half a day every day, and the other rice shops are closed, Sun Shirui is worried, and then there is the disease problem in the refugee camp in the city, most of those refugees are gathered together, they have a stinking smell and extremely poor sanitary conditions, Many people died of illness, and even had signs of a plague, if this plague broke out in a big way, the destructive power would not be comparable to Zhang Xianzhong's army.

But how can he solve these problems, ask the court for food, and hand over the official documents to sink into the sea, so that those refugees go home, first of all, there are many people who are unwilling to leave, because there is porridge to drink here every day, and they will not die of hunger, and secondly, even if he stops giving porridge and forcibly drives out the refugees, he must prepare a lot of money for others to pay for the journey, otherwise these people will not starve to death on the road.

Last time, the security problem in Anlu County was also a headache for Sun Shirui, but after Qin Yiming boldly activated the rogue leader Zhang Xiaoshe, the public security was much better all of a sudden, Qin Yiming had a lot of ghost ideas, and he also wanted to shamelessly ask Qin Yiming for rations, so that he could last a little longer, and then maybe the court had news, and all the problems could be solved. So he personally went to the Qianhu Institute to find Qin Yiming, every time he entered the Qianhu Office, he admired Qin Yiming very much, there are more than 10,000 or 20,000 people in these Qianhu, which is equivalent to a small county town, but it is governed by Qin Yiming, a martial artist, the man ploughs and the woman weaves, and the soldiers are practicing all kinds of strange battle formations, Sun Shirui knows that Qin Yiming must be doing some strange things again, the peasants are working, with happiness on their faces, and farm tools on their backs, Those children are all holding wooden small arms there to learn from the adults to train, they all want to get Qin Yiming's reward, and the entire Qianhu is exceptionally clean, the streets are very neat, and there are some shops, which are arranged on a street, and many military households go there to buy things, it can be seen that these military households are still living a relatively prosperous life.

"Brother Qin, Brother Qin!" Sun Shirui began to shout before he entered the door.

Qin Yiming walked out, followed by a Peugeot little girl, who just looked a little dark, and was dressed in armor and women's clothes, which was very powerful and had a unique flavor.

"Big brother, are you here?" Qin Yiming said with a smile.

Sun Shirui may have been pressed by the affairs of the homeless people for too long, and seeing Qin Yiming was like seeing his lover, and going up was a bear hug, which made Qin Yiming very uncomfortable and very afraid: My eldest brother has been single for more than 20 years, and he will not be interested in me, a bearded person!

"I haven't seen this woman," Sun Shirui asked.

"He's my cousin, I'm his cousin! Meet Sun. Ma Fengyi smiled slightly, clasping her hands into fists.

Sun Shirui looked at Ma Fengyi, who was dressed in military uniform, nodded and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, the temperament of the elder brother and cousin is matched with this armor, the heroic posture is very pleasing to the eye!" ”

Ma Fengyi was praised by Lord Sun like this, she was very proud, she was not like an ordinary little girl in the boudoir, she didn't have those awkward shyness, and she liked to express her joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

"Little monkey, watch the tea! Big brother, we said in the house. Sun Shirui followed Qin Yiming into the house.

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, my eldest brother came to look for me in the castle, there must be something!" Qin Yiming asked.

Sun Shirui took a sip of tea, and then looked at Qin Yiming for a while, Qin Yiming had an ominous premonition, seeing that Sun Shirui was about to speak, Qin Yiming preemptively said: "No!" ”

Sun Shirui asked strangely, "What's not?" ”

"The summer harvest of my guard has been given to you, brother, the autumn harvest has not been harvested, and now I have no food, brother, if you want to ask me for food, you don't need to speak!" Qin Yiming took the lead and blocked Sun Shirui's mouth first.

Sun Shirui also knew Qin Yiming's difficulties, after all, in the first year of being a thousand households, it was already very good that he could take out 20,000 stone of grain in such a short time, but if he didn't look for him, who else could he find.

"Hey, brother, it's hard for me, can you bear to let tens of thousands of people in Daming starve to death and become white bones on the side of the road?" Sun Shirui pleaded.

Qin Yiming knew Sun Shirui's difficulties, but it was even more difficult for him, he was poor and difficult to take care of, he had already given 20,000 stones last time, and he really couldn't take it out when he gave it to him.

"Big brother, why don't you find a big family in the city to raise some food, or ask them to donate a little silver, and you can use the silver money to buy some food!"

Sun Shirui sighed with emotion: "Hey, now there is money and may not be able to buy food, in the past, there were more than 50,000 refugees, and they needed 300 stone a day, but now there are only more than 30,000 refugees, and they need more than 300 to 400 stone of food porridge every day." ”

"Why is that?" Qin Yiming didn't understand very much, how could there be more rice when there were fewer people?

Sun Shirui explained: "This year, many places in my Ming Dynasty have been affected, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places have suffered more serious disasters, the government in order to let the people survive, so it issued an announcement, not allowed grain merchants to increase prices, a stone of grain is not allowed to exceed five yuan, originally this policy is very good, so that the people can get benefits, eat cheap food, but who can think, those rice merchants have said that there is no grain to sell, many places are short of food, it may be that the harvest is really bad, and the court's disaster relief grain can not be sent, hey, This is also the case in Anlu County, except for the Xu family, who still insists on opening the door to sell grain every day and half a day, the rest of the rice shops are closed. The people in the city couldn't buy food, and they all mixed with the refugee team to eat relief food, and there was no way. ”

When Qin Yiming heard this, his heart became angry, this is a typical man-made disaster! Businessmen are mercenary, this is the essence of businessmen, do not let businessmen make money, how to circulate goods? The goods are not circulating, which will inevitably cause a shortage of materials within the scope of the layout.

"Big brother, you go back and issue a notice, saying that our grain merchants in Anlu can raise the price at will, and the people can buy grain at that time, and the price of rice will also drop."

Ma Fengyi asked puzzledly: "Cousin, you have raised the price of grain merchants, how can the price of rice still come down?" ”

Not only Ma Fengyi has such doubts, but Sun Shirui, Qin Zuoming, Little Monkey and others explain their doubts.

"The price of commodities is ultimately determined by the market, forcibly lower the price of grain, those mercenary businessmen are naturally reluctant to sell grain, so they must be made to feel profitable, they are willing to sell grain, the market is scarce and expensive, once a large number of grain merchants hear that the price of grain in our Anlu County can rise freely, they must have entered, when there is more grain, it will not be so expensive, and the price of rice can naturally be lowered." Qin Yiming explained.

Sun Shirui seemed to understand, nodded, and said, "En, it makes sense!" ”
