Chapter 157, Blocked

Because of the defeat in the war, the city of Nanjing seemed somewhat depressed, and most of the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and their faces could see uneasiness and fear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For them, everything that seems peaceful in front of them is likely to collapse at any moment, and everything they have done will be reduced to ashes at the moment of war.

There were also many ragged homeless people on the street, some of them sat weakly on the street, and some of them supported each other and walked towards the unknown front.

Even so, they didn't reach out to passers-by for help, or they didn't have such thoughts at all.

After the end of the war, after experiencing a lot of things, they have become numb to the world, and they just passively accept everything in front of them in a daze, until they die.

For these people, dying may also be a relief.

For all this in front of him, Li Shunsheng did not stop his steps, because he knew that he did not have the ability to help everyone he met, so he had to be ruthless.

Things didn't go well.

When the grain merchants in the city heard the huge deal proposed by Li Shunsheng, they all said that they could not do anything and left in a hurry, even if Li Shunsheng only said less than a tenth of what he needed.

He also suggested that he could raise the price, but it still didn't make much difference.

"Mr. Li, although we are very impressed by the price you offered, we really have no food." The largest grain merchant in Nanjing sighed helplessly, saying that he was really powerless.

After sighing, he continued: "Because a lot of troops have come to Nanjing recently, the government has also ordered that our food supply must be given priority to the army. ”

"I see, I see, thanks for the reminder." Lee Sun-sang expressed his gratitude.

"I have a way, I don't know if Mr. Li is willing to give it a try." Just as Li Shunsheng was about to say goodbye and leave, the grain merchant who put on his hat suddenly said mysteriously.

"Please." Li Shunsheng's eyes flickered.

"I know a quartermaster, and he must be very interested in your business, Mr. Li, of course, the price may be higher."

"Price is not a problem, as long as his food is good enough, there is no problem." Lee Sun-sang showed the standard characteristics of being a wealthy man.

"So how about I go to him now?"

"There is labor!"

There was a little rush in his departure, although he deliberately covered it up, but it was a clue.

…………

"Battalion commander, that guy has a problem just now, do you want me to solve him?" Jiang Ergou, who was standing by the window, said aloud from the back of looking at the grain merchant.

"I know, he's on his way to report the news." Li Shunsheng sat calmly in his position, his fingers tapping slightly on the tabletop.

"Then you ......"

"It's just a need, don't ask, you'll know when the time comes."

"Yes."

…………

As Li Shunsheng said, the grain merchant naturally went to report the news, because when he received the order to give priority to the supply of food to the army, there was another order, that is, when a suspicious person was found to have purchased a large amount of grain, he must report it immediately.

Therefore, when encountering a person like Li Shunsheng who wants to buy such a large amount of grain as soon as he opens his mouth, it is necessary to report it.
