To the south of Xuanzhen, the huge and majestic Jingshi, the twilight sun, sprinkled on the mottled city wall, the people walking on the streets, wearing shabby cotton clothes, with a blank face, as the lowest people of the Ming Empire, are preparing to store grain before this coming winter

Because now the north is plagued every year, either drought or flood, or plague and rebellion, it is really a natural and man-made disaster, such as Shanxi and Shaanxi Zhili Shandong Henan, which should have been a large grain-producing province in the north, not to mention that there is an output, that is, whether they can survive this winter by themselves is not necessarily, especially in Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan, continuous conquest disasters, has made these places people can not see a few, the fields are barren, a large number of people are displaced, and the Ming Dynasty, But they don't care about these people, in fact, it's not that they don't want to take care of it, but that the Ming Dynasty has no money now.

There is only one local people who can still make a living, that is, Jingshi, as the northern capital of the Ming Dynasty, this is the face of a country, and now there is a saying that children can not be bitter in hardship, and education can not be poor in poverty. This sentence is still common in this era, that is, you can't die in the capital, and you can't starve the capital when you are hungry. Nowadays, in addition to continuing to collect taxes from those places in the northern provinces where there are still some families, the grain from the south is also transported by merchants from the south through the Grand Canal. Of course, these grains are not something that ordinary people can afford, and those who eat these rice are those executives and businessmen in Beijing, ordinary people, or find some edible grains.

However, now that there are more people and less food, at the beginning, those grain shops were open to supply, and the people who had experienced the war were afraid that after such a thing, those who had money and ability went to the grain shops to buy grain, and as soon as there were many people, some people panicked, and the chaotic people began to scramble, and with this action, the price of grain also climbed up. Up to now, the grain that only costs one tael or three dollars of silver and one stone in ordinary peaceful years has now been sold for three taels of silver, but this is it, and it is still impossible to buy.

Bao Laohan had already dragged a grain bag and ran to three grain shops, but there was still none! No matter in front of the grain shop, there was a dense crowd of people, patting the door of the grain shop with his hand, and kept shouting at the grain shop, now in front of Bao Laohan, it is still like this, he looked at the crowded crowd, he shook his head helplessly, in this case, don't say that he is an old man, that is, a young man, I am afraid he will not be able to squeeze in!

Finally, someone was impatient to wait, and slapped the door panel with his hand, and scolded loudly, and the grain shop was obviously prepared, the door had already been supported by wooden poles, and some men climbed to the roof, shouting at the people outside through the gap, "Don't squeeze any more, the food is gone!" You're knocking on the door and you're not selling."

Someone below asked in a loud voice, "You guy, don't deceive people, I saw you bring in grain a few days ago, why is it gone?" You must be trying to put up the grain and sell it to us at a higher price! “

Listening to the shouts of the people below, the guy didn't panic, "It's gone, but Hao Liancheng kicked the soldier and said, "Stand down, how can you talk to Mr.?" ”

When the soldier heard what Hao Liancheng said, he was shocked, and knew that the man behind him was interested in the gentleman in front of him, and maybe he wanted to say that there was that private matter, thinking of this, the soldier hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

Chen Ye, who fell far behind Hao Liancheng, saw that Hao Liancheng was still in the mood to find a fortune teller at this time, and his heart for this lord was invisibly lowered to a new level.

"Zi Bu is strange and confused, now he is newly defeated, and he does not look for the cause of failure, but he goes to the side of the road to find a fortune teller to relieve himself, it seems that this General Hao is not a big tree to rely on" Chen Ye stared at Hao Liancheng tightly and shook his head, but he did not enter the barracks, but turned around and walked towards the fork in the road.

But if you hear what this Hao Liancheng and this fortune teller old man said at this moment, you will definitely not leave again.

"Today's events, the above already know. You are reckless," the fortune teller said while touching Hao Liancheng's palm.

Hao Liancheng was annoyed, "God knows, I don't know who leaked the news, if it was according to my previous plan." Some people in Xuanzhen disturbed the governor's yamen, and even set off the entire Xuanzhen resistance to Lu Xiangsheng, either instigating those rebels to attack the Tuntian Division, or the Tuntian Division would also take the opportunity to mess up, and we would take the opportunity to snatch the grain of the Tuntian Division, and at that time, the Tuntian Division Tun Grain that Lu Xiangsheng wanted to turn over would be taken away by us, Lu Xiangsheng was desperate, so he could only resign and not do it.

But I didn't expect that although Lu Xiangsheng was in Beijing, he seemed to know about our actions in Xuanda, and even said that Yang Quan was sent back, and I didn't expect that this guy who only knew how to farm on weekdays actually knew about military affairs, first let the soldiers of the general army yamen take over the entire city, and then commanded his generals to clean up the people at the gate of the governor's yamen, and what I didn't expect was that it was Yang Quan's subordinates who guarded the grain and He Laoliu, who was finally deceived by our internal response, but who knows, Then Yang Quan actually guessed our move, and immediately sent the cavalry back, this delay, we will give up all our efforts! ”

Hao Liancheng thought of this, but he couldn't help but hold his hands tightly, the fortune teller sitting on the side, his hand was grabbed by Hao Liancheng, in the case of Hao Liancheng holding it hard, the palm of his hand made a creaking sound, and his face changed suddenly, fortunately, Hao Liancheng said quickly, the fortune teller did not wait for Hao Liancheng to agree, and said loudly at him, "Haha, Mr. This hand bone is tough and slender, and the arm bone is thick and strong, and the energy must be strong. Then the adults will definitely have smooth sailing in the future, so the current situation, adults don't have to mind,"

"Ah, I hope that as you said, I can make my wish come true smoothly in the future" Hao Liancheng knew that he could only respect the order, and nodded dejectedly, but while saying loudly, he put a piece of silver in his hand into the hand of the fortune teller,

The fortune teller quickly touched the weight of the silver taels, then arched his hand at Hao Liancheng, and turned around and left here.

At this time, Hao Liancheng looked at the people around him blankly, took a breath, and walked towards the barracks, but the fortune teller didn't see it, and Hao Liancheng at this time had a hideous face

"Lu Xiangsheng warned me, you also came to me for trouble, I, Hao Liancheng, how can I be swayed because of your thoughts? Hehe, just wait, wait for my big surprise for you."

At this moment, the sun is setting, the sun that is as red as a chicken's egg yolk, hanging obliquely on the treetops, the faint red, slowly dyeing the whole land into a faint red, Chen Ye, who was standing at the fork in the road, suddenly stopped, for some reason, there was always a faint smell of blood in his nose.
