Hearing that Lin Bei wanted Zhen Ding to talk about the Central Plains, Cui Lan pulled up Feng Niangzi, who had not yet sat down, and was about to say goodbye when she stood up, but Lin Bei motioned for the two to sit down, and it didn't hurt to listen.

This place is far away in South Vietnam, 108,000 miles away from the heart of the Central Plains, the so-called mountain is far away from the emperor, and it doesn't matter if you talk about it, besides, it's good to let Cui Lan listen to this kind of thing, girls don't necessarily have to bury their heads in their parents every day, and national affairs can also be cared about.

Zhen Ding felt a little bitter in his heart, it's okay to tell Lin Bei about this kind of thing, but even women have to listen to it? However, Zhen Ding didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction with Lin Bei, and said in his heart that fortunately, there were only a few people here, and those people didn't come forward, otherwise if it was spread, how could he get out of it? The crime of arguing about the affairs of the country is not small.

After thinking about it, Zhen Ding decided to say a little bit if he could, if he couldn't say it, or if there was a taboo in it, Zhen Ding wouldn't say it.

After groaning, Zhen Ding slowly spoke: "Do you know what my Zhen clan does for a living?" ”

Without Lin Bei answering, Master Bian said: "The grain merchants in the world all take the Zhen family as their own, and your Zhen family makes a living from the grain and rice." ”

Zhen Ding's face showed a hint of pride, "What the master said is true, my Zhen family started with grain, and now I am in the third generation. "That is, three generations, three generations can be the world's grain merchants, and the Zhen family is indeed extraordinary.

An Zhong asked straightly: "I heard that there is a severe drought in the hinterland of the Central Plains for many years, and many prefectures and counties have not harvested grains, your Zhen family's business is not good now, right?" ”

Zhen Ding nodded, "This is exactly the case, my Zhen family has nearly 100 commercial banks in the thirteen states, and there are no exchanges, in the past few years, the Central Plains has been dry for many years, and many places have failed to harvest, especially in Hebei, Yan, and Henan. ”

An Zhong asked directly: "How much has the price of grain increased there?" ”

Zhen Ding glanced at Lin Bei, and finally said: "Take corn as an example, three years ago, one stone of rice was three hundred yuan, and now one liter of rice is three thousand yuan, or four or five thousand yuan. ”

One stone is ten liters, that is to say, three years ago, a liter of rice was thirty yuan, which is equivalent to a hundredfold increase in the past three years.

In fact, the price of rice in South Vietnam has also risen very quickly, and now a liter of rice is almost two or three thousand, but because it has risen slowly, the South Vietnamese people have some habitual meaning, but in such a summary, and then compared with three years ago, the judgment was suddenly high, and several people sighed in their hearts: It turns out that the price of grain has risen so much in the past three years.

"No wonder there have been more and more displaced people in recent years." Bian Ji sighed.

The matter of people's livelihood is a major matter of the country, and no one in power can deny that the price of grain is incredibly high now, and the peasants can buy one liter and two liters, but it cannot last long, and three years is enough to drag down some wealthy families.

If the government is clear, even if there is a disaster, it can be passed, but the angry thing is that the peasants have no income, and they have to pay all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which is the rhythm of forcing people to death, and the price of grain is just an extension of the government.

Cui Lan didn't know much about this, so she asked, "How do those homeless people live?" ”

Bian Ji said: "The weak among these displaced people will pour into various states and counties, begging along the streets, and if they are tougher, they will become strongmen." ”

Feng Niangzi asked curiously: "Isn't the imperial court okay with disaster relief?" ”

Bian Ji and Zhen Ding could only smile bitterly, one was well-informed, the other read a lot, and they had already known the results of this kind of problem, but it was inconvenient to tell a little lady.

But An Zhong said bluntly: "Feng Niangzi, the imperial court can't come up with so much money and food." ”

Feng Niangzi sighed, but she didn't believe it in her heart, she couldn't even come up with money from the imperial court? It is said that even the small officials in Hepu County can eat big fish and meat every day, and the small officials are like this, and those big officials must be rich, presumably those big officials don't want to take the money out, don't you know that her speculation is very close to the truth, there are too many corrupt officials, and they are all full of private pockets, how can they care about the life and death of the homeless.

Zhen Ding looked at Lin Bei, and said: "Just last year, under the rule of Jizhou, in Shenze County, Xindu County, more than 10,000 homeless people rushed into the county office, beheaded the county zun, opened the gate of the county treasury, and distributed food and money. ”

Cui Lan and Feng Niangzi covered their mouths, looking surprised, and cut off the heads of more than 10,000 homeless people? How much blood does that have to be shed?

Zhen Ding sighed again: "This matter finally spread, and then there were such incidents in several states, and it was turbulent. ”

Bian Ji then looked at Lin Bei, he still remembered what Lin Bei had said to him, now it seems that this kind of thing is already happening, although it is only a small scale, but killing the homeless people can only be deterred for a while, the homeless people are getting more and more difficult, and in the end they can only take risks.

Although the rest of the people didn't hear Lin Bei say it, they could also feel that the situation of the Han was not good now, and Cui Lan and Feng Niangzi were worried that those homeless people would not even be able to eat, and finally had to kill the officials.

In silence, Lin Bei wrote a few words: "Don't worry about those, eat first, cherish what is in front of you." ”

Lin Bei has known this kind of thing for a long time, and he can't bear it, but he can't help it, he can take care of three or four hundred people, but the whole Han can't take care of it, so he can only look at the front and make Xishan Township better, maybe in the future, the situation in Xishan Township will spread out and let the displaced people know that those displaced people can come to Xishan Township and not be starved to death, this is Lin Bei's merit.

After all, the distance between the Central Plains and South Vietnam is too far, so after Lin Bei spoke, everyone put down the matter and began to eat, Lin Bei's side of the pot put tripe meat, that is, the most tender pieces of meat under the tripe, after cooking, crispy and tender, and very chewy, it is really the best quality, as soon as everyone eats it, everything is forgotten, to put it bluntly, it is the biggest thing to fill the stomach.

While eating, several people suddenly walked out of the crowd, and when they arrived at Lin Bei's side, they knelt down with a pop, Lin Bei didn't notice it at all, and was taken aback and a little at a loss.

The people slammed their heads nine times in a row, and then they raised their heads, and a man in his forties with a dark face looked sincere, and said: "My lord, we don't know any big truth, we came to kowtow to adults because adults can give us meat to eat, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and wish you a long life." ”

Lin Bei just wanted Master Bian to call these up, but he was still not used to the way of thanking these people who kowtowed at every turn, and without waiting for Master Bian to say, hundreds of people actually knelt down continuously and kowtowed to Lin Bei, as if they had discussed, Cui Lan hurriedly pulled Feng Niangzi and knelt down, this atmosphere suddenly shocked Lin Bei.

Bian Fuzi sighed: "My lord, this is the heart of the people's fists, but the adults can stand it, think about the tragic scene of the Central Plains at this time, if there is no adult, a few years later, maybe Nanyue will be like this in the Central Plains at that time, my Xishan Township can have the blessing of an adult's family, it is really the luck of my Xishan Township." ”

After that, Bian Fuzi lifted his shirt and robe, and also knelt down, "Bian Ji Bian Xuezhi kowtowed to the adult." ”
