Chapter 240: Food Prices Are Soaring

"This is not called a woman's kindness! This is what should be done! Could it be that you saw such a small and lovely child being brutally murdered, how could you bear it? Can your heart be at peace? Can you extrajudicially excite, don't kill such a child! "Shi Jia is very excited! He really couldn't accept that even a little older child could be killed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhixiong looked at him and said, "Shi Jia, Shi Jia, the first emperor said that you have talent, but you are too merciful!" In troubled times, you should use heavy codes! At this time, it must be intimidating! to restrain others! Otherwise, people will be suspicious, and I won't be able to control it! Only by killing them to be afraid and making them dare not disobey, then Zhuo County can hold it! We can last longer! ”

When Zhixiong said this, he waved his hand, not allowing Shi Jia to have room to speak: "Send off!" General Ben still has a lot of things to do, but I don't have time to chat with you! Zhixiong said and waved his hand to signal Shi Jia to leave.

"Please! Master Hou! "Someone has already carried out Zhixiong's guest order, and it is clear that he wants you Shi Jia to leave here quickly.

Shi Jia gritted his teeth, he knew that it was useless to stay here any longer, since the other party had to let him go, then okay, I would leave! I'm leaving!

Shi Jia came out in a huff, he was in a very bad mood, he wanted to save more people, but there was no way to save them.

Zhang Yong saw it clearly, and said: "Shi Jia, now we can only let everyone obey Zhixiong's orders, don't resist Zhixiong stubbornly, we must hand over the grain!" Only in this way can you protect yourself! We must do the ideological work of the people so that they do not resist! ”

Shi Jia smiled bitterly, but as soon as he came to the street, he saw that the grain collection place was already overcrowded, obviously, after people saw the people who hid the grain quilt, they were all in a hurry to give the grain, and many people with a fluke mentality strangled this fluke mentality.

People are lining up to hand over food, but it is much more lively than before! This time, I understand that there are really a lot of people who are lucky! Otherwise, why would so many people come to hand over the food now! This time, the generals who were in charge of collecting grain were smiling, as long as there was food, they would not have to worry about starving to death in the future.

Zhang Yong looked at all this and said, "I have to admit that Zhixiong's means are okay!" It's just that this grain has been collected, so will it really be distributed to the people? ”

Shi Jia also kept this question in mind, indeed! Could it be? He looked at it, and he knew that as the siege lasted for a long time, the rations of three buckets per person would soon be gone.

The enemy troops outside the city still did not attack, and the people in the city could only live like a year, and the guards who were originally guarding the city were still full of spirit, but as the days passed, they became more and more listless.

And some families in the city have already eaten up the grain, they go to the government, hoping that the government can supply them with food as soon as possible, but the government began to play the game of passing the flower drum, each pushing its own responsibility, you go to A, A said it's none of my business, you look for B! I went to B, and B told him about C, and when he found C, C pushed it back to D, and finally D pushed it back to C, and the end result was that the cycle was endless, and the food still didn't get into people's hands.

It is because of the lack of food that people's hearts have fluctuated, and people are no longer at ease. There was really no way, all the wild vegetables in the city were dug up, and people could be seen everywhere looking for wild vegetables.

Some people even hold signs on the streets that say "Ask for food", hoping that there will be more people to sell them food.

Originally, the price of grain was eighty wen a bucket, and the price of grain was originally super high, no way, this is in troubled times, and it is also a place where there is not much grain in Youzhou, and the price of grain is naturally high.

And since the siege began, it has risen to 120 Wen a bucket, and then it has quickly risen to 200 Wen, and now two months have passed, and the price of grain has grown to three times a bucket! This is because some people still believe that the government will not starve to death for the people, and sit idly by, so that food prices do not rise wildly. And many people still have some rations, but once the government no longer distributes food, especially wild vegetables, there will be a large number of starvation to death.

Buying and selling grain without permission, this is strange! Supposedly, this ration is very small! Who is in private possession?

That's not good! Zhixiong felt the seriousness of the problem! He then ordered that it must be strictly investigated! It is forbidden to sell grain privately, and once it is discovered, it will be unforgiving.

Zhixiong's quick response and action worked, no, soon someone was arrested, these were two people who bought and sold grain without permission, and the officers and soldiers also went to the homes of these two people to conduct a thorough search to find food. Instead, they found out some food.

Naturally, these people who bought and sold grain privately were also beheaded for public display. They also paraded these people through the streets before they were killed.

This time, the government is about to start the search for grain again, but in this way, it will make the people's grievances worse! And the food is running out, and if this continues, people will starve to death.

People started arguing again, didn't they say that there was almost no food, and the government would distribute food? But now people are starving to death, and there is no distribution! What's going on! Is it really impossible for people to starve to death?

In such a situation, people's spearheads will be pointed directly at the government, which is extremely unfavorable to the government.

Of course, Zhixiong has a full grasp of the situation here, and he knows that if he doesn't put some food out, there will be chaos in the city, anyway, he will put some food.

So another soldier was beating gongs and drums, announcing that everyone should go to get food quickly, according to the person, three fights per person. This is the favor of the great general, and it is also the favor of the imperial court.

In fact, to put it bluntly, a lot of them were scavenged from the people, and what Zhixiong spit out was just a drop in the bucket, just for stability, he had to make a look and vomit, but then you still want him to spit out the grain? It's impossible.

At the same time, Zhixiong also went up to the city, he shouted, hoping to let the people out of the city to find a way to live, the two countries fought against each other, and the people were innocent. Of course, the Xianbei people outside the city will not agree, they will not let the people out! Originally, he wanted to drive the people into the city and increase the pressure and difficulty of eating in the city, but how could he have wasted his efforts?

It's just that what Zhixiong didn't expect was that the Xianbei people actually promised to retreat a distance, so that the people could dig wild vegetables nearby, or peel the bark of trees to eat. It's just that within a certain distance around Zhuo County, anyone who exceeds this distance will be killed.
