Hearing Liu Wu say this, all the homeless people knelt down and cried and said, "Thank you, the great masters, you are simply the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva..."

Without further ado, Zhu Cihong asked Liu Wu to stay here and let everyone line up first, so as to prevent confusion when the rations were distributed later. He took Xia Nuan and another guard, Liu Wei, to the city to buy food.

Zhu Cihong gave the order, Liu Wu could only abide by it, although he was worried about Zhu Cihong's safety, but there could be no one here, in case the displaced people would make a riot and it would not be good.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhu Cihong remembered that he didn't bring any silver, so he instructed Xia Nuan to go to the Liumeng branch of the Beijing division to get the silver in his own name, and by the way, he informed the Liumeng in Shanxi to mobilize some grain and grass into Beijing.

As soon as the two entered the city, they saw a "Liu's porridge shop". Zhu Cihong hurriedly ran in, and Liu Wei also hurriedly followed.

The shopkeeper was leaning back on a chair lazily basking in the sun, but when he saw a customer coming to the door, he quickly stood up and asked Liu Wei diligently: "This gentleman, do you want to buy rice?" ”

Zhu Cihong rushed in excitedly, and found that the shopkeeper only greeted Liu Wei, and he didn't bird himself at all, so he couldn't help but feel angry. Then he was relieved, he went out to inspect the Flying Tigers today, and the clothes were naturally not so gorgeous, plus he was only four years old now, Liu Wei was an adult anyway, and anyone who changed would greet Liu Wei first.

But at this time, he didn't care about being angry, and hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper, how many meters do you have here?" ”

The shopkeeper frowned after hearing this, and originally didn't plan to ignore Zhu Cihong, but he was afraid that ignoring Zhu Cihong would make Liu Wei angry, so he hurriedly explained: "There are 600 stones of fine polished rice and 1,200 stones of brown rice here in the shop. I don't know what kind of rice do you want? ”

Liu Wei hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper, how is the price of rice?" ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Today's rice price is two taels of brown rice and one pound of silver, and three taels of polished rice and five pounds of silver." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Cihong asked coldly: "Shopkeeper, do you think that the two of us don't understand prices?" Yesterday's brown rice was only seven coins of silver and one stone, and polished rice was one or two silver and one stone. You raise prices like this, do you really think that the two of us are easy to bully? ”

Shopkeeper Liu sneered, and said a little arrogantly: "I said this little friend, what do you know?" This year's floods in the south have seriously reduced grain production, coupled with the rebellion of the Japanese and the Japanese, there is no surplus rice to sell, and there is no surplus rice to sell outside, so the price of rice in the capital has skyrocketed. Today, we have just received the news, so we have adjusted the price of rice. If you are too expensive, then it is good to go out and turn right and do not send, our market here is like this, you are willing to buy it, if you don't want to buy it, you can buy it on other houses, and the price of other houses is only higher than ours. ”

After listening to this, Zhu Cihong asked angrily: "You are so difficult to make a fortune in the country, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs?" ”

After listening to this, Shopkeeper Liu's face was ugly for a moment, and he said in a weird manner: "I said whether you can buy it or not, you can buy it if you are willing to buy it at this price, and if you don't want to buy it, leave quickly, don't hinder us from doing business!" ”

Zhu Cihong was about to turn around and leave after hearing this, but remembered the tragic situation of the displaced people outside the city, and said with anger: "Okay, prepare all the rice in your store, we want it all." ”

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in disbelief: "1,600 denier rice, you... Do you want it all? ”

Zhu Cihong said impatiently: "Yes, you heard it right, you want it all." You don't understand people? ”

Shopkeeper Liu originally thought that the two of them were just buying a little rice, but he didn't expect to be a rare big customer, his face instantly became kind, and he said with a smile: "Two, since you are all wanting, our store only accepts silver or silver tickets, and copper coins and broken silver are not accepted." ”

Zhu Cihong then remembered that he had told Xia Nuan to go to Liumeng to get silver, and he didn't have any silver on him now. When the two of them were in a dilemma, Xia Nuan hurriedly ran in and said breathlessly: "Master... Silver... The money was brought. Then he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong saw that Xia Nuanran's face was flushed, and he hurriedly took the silver ticket, and comforted him distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work, rest for a while." ”

Shopkeeper Liu found that the silver tickets handed to Zhu Cihong by Xia Nuan were all one hundred taels of silver, smiled even brighter, and stepped forward to flatteringly say: "Our store can deliver to your door, I don't know where the two live?" The little one will bring you to the door. ”

Xia Nuan saw Shopkeeper Liu coming up, and said with some disgust: "You don't have to worry about it, we have someone to send it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of horses barking outside the door. A sturdy man rushed in, walked up to Zhu Cihong, clasped his fists with both hands and said respectfully: "Master, Officer Yang instructed the little one to lead the brothers to help deliver grain and grass." There are ten carriages outside the door, if the master is not enough, let Officer Yang send another carriage. ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile after hearing this: "Enough is enough, you hurry up and move the rice to the car, people are probably in a hurry." ”

Zhu Cihong counted out the forty-five chapters of silver tickets and handed them to the shopkeeper Liu, and said with a cold face: "This is four thousand five hundred taels of silver, after you check it, quickly lead my people to move rice." ”

Shopkeeper Liu took the silver ticket, and after Ma Li pointed it clearly, he led everyone to the warehouse to move rice.

When everyone was loading the car, Zhu Cihong found that the 1,600 denier rice could not be pulled in one trip. But that's right, once the rice is equivalent to more than 100 catties, this 1,600 denier rice actually weighs hundreds of tons. Seeing that he couldn't fit it on a trip, Zhu Cihong was sweating on his head in a hurry.

Seeing Zhu Cihong's anxious appearance, Xia Nuan whispered: "Master, you can go buy some dry food first, and after buying enough car, then rush out of the city." Let the hungry people hurry up and eat something. ”

After listening to this, Zhu Cihong knew that he was concerned and chaotic. So he ordered Liu Wei to stay here to supervise the transportation of grain, and he took Xia Nuan to buy dry food, and then sent it to the displaced people outside the city.

When Zhu Cihong returned to the city with a cart full of dry food, the hungry people saw it, and they didn't care about queuing, and they swarmed around Zhu Cihong.

When Liu Wu saw that Zhu Cihong was lifted off and fell to the ground, he couldn't help but be angry, and rushed into the crowd with a roar. In the blink of an eye, all the hungry people who rushed to climb into the car were thrown out by Liu Wu. The rest of the people were still about to rush forward, but Liu Wu pulled out the sword at his waist, like a killing god, scaring everyone into not daring to take another step.

Zhu Cihong got up from the ground and roared angrily: "You people, this palace is kind enough to help you, but you actually bite Lu Dongbin - you don't know the hearts of good people." If you don't want a head, just say it, this palace satisfies you. ”

When everyone heard Zhu Cihong claiming to be the palace, they also understood that the person in front of them was the crown prince of the dynasty. Those who rushed forward couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Those who didn't have time to rush up touched their chests, glad that they were a step slower and didn't crash into the nobles.

After Zhu Cihong saw that everyone was suppressed, he shouted: "Don't mess up, everyone has dry food." You line up and go to the front one by one to pick it up. Whoever dares to make trouble will be killed! ”

Hearing that there was no forgiveness for killing, everyone didn't dare to rush forward any further. One by one, they honestly lined up,
