Chapter 177: Changing Food

Some people in the world may be really indifferent to fame and fortune, and only hope that they can be free in the world like idle clouds and wild cranes, but after all, this kind of person is only a minority, throughout the ages, most people's dreams are still 'waking up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties', and for Zhou Xing, a person like Zhou Xing who does not hesitate to kill innocents indiscriminately for his own promotion, as long as he can be promoted, he is a person who is closer than his biological parents.

Therefore, Duan Jian's words were understated, as if he was casually chatting with friends, but when he heard Zhou Xing's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, and the complaints and resentment that still existed in his heart disappeared in an instant, replaced by irrepressible excitement and excitement.

"..... so-and-so...no, slave... The slave is willing to obey Lang Jun's dispatch and go to the soup to fight the fire, and he will not give up. Zhou Xing knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, of course, this time it was not tired, but too excited.

Seeing Zhou Xing's excited expression, Duan Jian nodded secretly in his heart, to be honest, the reason why he took a huge risk this time to take over the food shortage crisis in Chang'an City was that in addition to wanting to take this opportunity to improve his reputation and influence, the key point was to take the opportunity to deal with those wealthy families.

To deal with these people from wealthy families, of course Duan Jian can't take action in person, or he can't stand directly at the front desk, at this time, he needs an agent, thinking about it, Duan Jian set his sights on Zhou Xing.

Not to mention Zhou Xing's murderous reputation in history, just during the period when Duan Jian was in contact with him, he found that this person was still quite capable, originally under the management of Qiao Zhong, those officials in Chang'an County were tricky and sleek, when there were benefits, they moved forward desperately, and when there were no benefits, they were all kinds of prevarications.

But since Zhou Xing served as the head catcher, in just a few months, the atmosphere of the entire Chang'an County government has completely changed, not to mention that it is the same as the hundred battles on the battlefield, 'advancing when you hear the drums, and retreating when you hear the gold', but it can also be ordered and prohibited, which makes Duan Jian's opinion of him suddenly have a huge change.

"Hehehe, Zhou Xing, you know your ability, but there are some things that I have to tell you in advance, this time the queen of heaven explained that the matter is quite dangerous, and I am afraid that this head will move if you are not careful, so before making a decision, you must think about it." Duan Jian said with a smile.

It's a pity that Duan Jian's words not only did not make Zhou Xing retreat, but aroused his interest even more, for a person like Zhou Xing who is an official position such as his life, as long as he can get a rich enough reward, not to mention the danger, even if he dies for a lifetime, he will not be half a point behind, besides, in Zhou Xing's opinion, the more dangerous things are, the more huge benefits can be obtained, just like Duan Jian, if he was not impeached by one hundred and ten ministers, how could he easily be promoted a few levels in a row, and he achieved the position of a seventh-grade official at a young age, and also got the weight of the queen mother.

Looking at Zhou Xing's eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, I am afraid that Duan Jian did not expect that he would actually become Zhou Xing's role model.

"The slave is a broken military household, although he is barely in the Chang'an County Yazhong to eat, but he has also been repeatedly excluded, if it weren't for Lang Jun's action, let alone catching the head, I'm afraid Qiao Zhong and those people would have driven the slave out of Chang'an County a long time ago, it can be said that Lang Jun is the slave's reborn parents, in this life, as long as Lang Jun can use the slave, the slave swears to follow." Zhou Xing said excitedly.

"Bang ......."

Wake up early in the morning, when many people are still busy washing at home, the entire Chang'an City is covered by the continuous sound of gongs, hearing that this has never happened, all the people of Chang'an know that this must have happened a big thing, and they rushed out of the house in a hurry, and went to the street, wanting to see what happened, and there was such a big movement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen, the court has a will, the Yellow River grain road has been cut off recently, Chang'an City is in short supply of food, for the sake of social health and stability, the world is stable, anyone who has surplus food at home, the court is willing to buy at a high price, a stone of grain can be exchanged for a stone of refined salt, and you can get a plaque of 'good home' given by the court, and your neighbors are actively participating." Seeing that there were more and more people on the street, the heads of various fang markets followed behind the fang soldiers who were beating the gong and shouted loudly.

One stone of grain for one stone of refined salt, if it is in normal times, this kind of good thing of pie falling from the sky does not say that it happened, even dreaming, these people dare not think about it, you know, even when the price of a stone of grain is the highest, it is only two or three hundred yuan, but how much is a stone of refined salt worth, the law of the imperial court is twenty wen for a pound of refined salt, and one stone of refined salt is almost more than two thousand yuan.

In fact, because of the insufficient production of refined salt, coupled with the difficulty of transportation, it is quite common for the people in many places to double the price of refined salt, and even the price of salt in many places can rise to seventy or eighty wen a catty.

In the past, when encountering this kind of thing, who didn't break their heads and wanted to drill in, but after a day of hype, Duan Jian and the others not only did not receive a grain of grain, but the price of grain that day rose by more than ten yuan, even so, all grain shops have hung up sold-out signs less than an hour after opening.

That night, sitting in a courtyard specially vacated by the household department, Zhou Xing said a little anxiously, "Lang Jun, what can I do, the Queen of Heaven asked us to make sure that within a month, we must make up enough grain and grass for the entire Chang'an City to be used by hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border gates, but you have also seen today's situation, not only no one came to exchange for food, but the price of grain has increased a lot, if it goes on like this, not to mention that there is enough food, I am afraid that it will not take a month to make up enough food, and the entire Chang'an City will be completely chaotic, and when the time comes, We don't need the queen to cut off our heads, we are going to kill ourselves to apologize. ”

Hearing Zhou Xing's complaints, Duan Jian sat there as if nothing happened, quietly looking at a legend in his hand, and praised a few words from time to time.

"Why, this is a little unbearable, so tell me what we should do." Duan Jian said with a smile.

"Lang Jun, according to the slave's idea, the easiest way is to go to those wealthy families and ask them for food, whoever dares not to obey will be directly arrested and put in prison, and the slave will not believe that they are not afraid." Zhou Xing said with a cool temperament.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
