412 The turmoil subsides

The shouts of the Skywalkers were heard throughout the city, and the people were in an uproar. 〔 81 (?net ??) >.}8〉1>Z?>.?C]O}M?No one could have imagined that the first convoy sent fifteen days ago would come back so quickly.

At this time, no one cared about the trial on Shuiyu Street, thousands of people rushed to the east city like crazy, and after a while, the city wall at the east end of Kung Fu City was already crowded with people watching.

More and more people poured out of their homes, and the city wall could no longer stand, and the crowds poured out of the city gate and ran into the wilderness, forming two heavy human walls on both sides of the official road.

Sure enough, in the wind and snow in the west, there really appeared a grain transportation team, and this team has been surrounded by villagers from seven miles and eight townships.

Ten wooden plowtrucks loaded with more than 10,000 catties of food, although the quantity is not much, but this is the first batch of grain and grass obtained by Peishui after the snow disaster. When this team appeared at the Peishui border, the patrols and the villagers on the border were all boiling.

The soldiers patrolling and the people of the village, replacing the extremely tired soldiers of the grain transport team, even dragged these soldiers to the climbing plow, and thousands of villagers gathered around the ten climbing plows, pushing the climbing plow as fast as possible.

These are the heroes of Peishui, who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die and struggled in the wind and snow for a full 2,000 miles, and it only took fifteen days.

The closer the grain convoy got to Dawangcheng, the more people poured out of the villages along the way, and gradually tens of thousands of people had gathered on the official road leading to Dawangcheng, looking like a long black dragon lying on the ice and snow from a distance.

At this time, on the first plowlift, it was none other than the empty walker who stood on the high felt bag. This kid was a little embarrassed in the face of the crowd of people who welcomed him, this was the first time he had received the attention of 10,000 people, and he was very uncomfortable.

But this feeling of being in the spotlight is really refreshing, like drinking a glass of alcohol. However, in addition to the joy of returning home safely, there were three points of sadness hidden in his face, but everyone did not show up.

By the time the grain convoy approached the city gate, there were already more than 20,000 people gathered at the city gate, and it was estimated that at least 50,000 or 60,000 people were gathering at the city gate.

The buzzing voices gathered together, and the city gate cave was full of echoes, and the breath of people opened their mouths turned into a white mist.

"Life-saving food, this is really life-saving food..."

"Look, isn't that kid arrogant? Lord Flowing Fire pointed out to him..."

"Look at this big car, there must be thousands of pounds..."

"Absolutely, as far as I can see, a thousand and a half can't hold it..."

At this time, I don't know who it is, so I shouted at Zhang Crazy in the crowd, "Zhang Crazy, what did you kid bring back to everyone? Don't hide it..."

Zhang Mad stood on the grain stack, hugged his fists in all directions, and without speaking, he lifted the felt cloth beside him, revealing the square linen bag inside.

The military thorn in Zhang Mad's hand was extremely sharp, and the burlap bag was cut open as soon as he stabbed it, revealing the neat strips of dried meat inside. Zhang Crazy grabbed the dried meat strips one by one, and threw them into the crowd like a scattered flower.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, the ten major carts are all dried meat and butter, all of which are the most valuable things, the standard military rations of the Black Iron Legion, three can boil a large pot of broth, plus two spoonfuls of butter, not to mention how beautiful it tastes..."

"Fellow villagers, don't worry, this time I have opened my eyes, there are countless kinds of food in the warehouse in Wugang, which is enough for our Peishui people to eat for half a year. This is all life-saving food that Lord Flowing Fire has stored for us..."

"Rest assured, everyone, we have Peishui Food..."

This kid is clever enough, and he actually knows how to use materials to appease people's hearts among the people, which makes the Suzaku on the city gate tower have a good impression and nod frequently.

The strips of meat scattered out of thin air not only caused the people to be robbed, but also really made the people's suspended hearts feel steady. This kid won't lie to everyone, who doesn't know the careful calculation of Lord Liuhuo in Peishui, and everyone knows that Peishui has a large number of materials in other regions.

To put it bluntly, the current crisis is caused by the heavy snow road closure, as long as the road closure can be overcome, then the current dilemma will be solved immediately.

The success of insolence is a signal and a reassurance for the people of the city.

"Don't worry, there is grain in the granary of Wugang, there are materials in the cargo station, the wind and snow can cover the official road but can't freeze the sea, don't forget that we also have a family business in Wengang, and the trade routes on the sea are controlled by our Peishui people..."

Zhang Qiang's awakening is so good, this time the people are completely relieved, and they don't know who shouted Banzai in the crowd, and the city was full of Banzai voices in an instant.

"Long live Lord Flowing Fire, long live King Peishui..."

The frenzied atmosphere also infected the three women on the city gate, among whom Mei Jiaoniang was so excited that she shed tears, and when she saw that the crisis was solved, the stone in her heart was put down.

"When that arrogant boy finishes paying the grain, remember to take it to the mansion, I have something to ask him..."Suzaku ordered the guards beside him.

"Suzaku-sama, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the food to be delivered, I just sent someone to secretly report that he has urgent information to report to you..."

"Huh?" Suzaku and the sisters beside him were a little surprised, "Okay, I'll go back to the mansion now, and you can bring him over later..."

Suzaku and the others left, but the fanatical people did not leave, and the smiling people followed the grain team little by little, and everyone hoped to take a few more looks.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, when the grain team passed through the city, in the countless facades along the street, in the cracks of those closed door panels, a complicated look was staring at the tall grain cart.

These merchants have now regretted their deaths, and they knew that these soldiers could bring in supplies so smoothly, so how could they dare to raise prices like crazy?

"How can this be, early in the morning, there was just a smashing and looting incident, and before noon, the grain transport team came back?

"If I knew this, why should I..."

For a while, it is really impossible to say how many people are blaming themselves. But one thing is certain, after the frightened shops opened their doors again that afternoon, the prices in Dawangcheng really fell, although they were still much more expensive than usual, but since they fell by a beginning, it was logical that a series of price reductions followed.

When Suzaku returned to the official residence, she realized that she had been waiting for her in the council hall for a long time.

"Why did you come back so quickly? How did Ning Shun's affairs handle? How did you deal with the loss of the cloth shop?"

It turned out that when Suzaku and the others went to Dongcheng to meet the grain team, Daydream was left behind to deal with the Shuiyu Street incident.

"Hey... Thanks to the words of the adults, under the teachings of the adults, this group of people finally knew their mistakes and agreed to reach a settlement..."

"Oh? reconciliation..."Yun Shayue and Mei Jiaoniang looked at each other and asked in surprise, "Just the two people in the cloth shop, they actually agreed to reconcile?"

It's no wonder that they were surprised, but the greed of the couple just now is really unforgettable.

"Hehe..."daydream smiled bitterly, "It's not a gratuitous settlement, although the two of them admit that today's asking price is a bit high, but they don't admit that yesterday's price is high, and they insist on claiming according to yesterday's price..."

"Yesterday's price, a foot of gray cloth, 7o copper coins, has doubled, isn't it high? This is too greedy..."Yun Shuyue was the first to jump.

"There's no way, those two people have lost their money. Coupled with the great truth of Lord Suzaku just now, it can be regarded as supporting them, knowing that we can't use strength, they have nothing to fear..."

"Profiteer..."Mei Jiaoniang gritted her teeth and scolded.

Suzaku sighed, "There's no way, what the businessman did, although it was impersonal and unreasonable, but people didn't break the law, and we have no good way except to blame..."

"Then why don't we introduce a law to stabilize prices? force these businessmen not to raise prices during natural disasters, and when the time comes, whoever is greedy, we will clean them up..."

It was Wu Zhan who spoke, and it was said that this guy had been following him from the morning to the present, and his stomach was already angry, but unfortunately there were Suzaku, Zuo Panyu and others present, so he didn't have the right to speak at all.

"Impossible..."Daydream shook his head, "Even if we introduce laws now, we won't be able to curb the current crisis, after all, things are born first, and the law is later, and you won't be convinced to use the laws designated after the fact to manage others..."

"Besides, greed is not something that can be controlled by the law, if you dare to control the price, then people can choose to sell or even stop selling, can you order it one by one? Obviously, you can't, even if you can, if you do this, these businessmen will never cooperate with you in the future..."

"If the merchants choose to leave Peishui, will you use a knife to keep them?"

Daydream, drank a sip of water, moistened his throat, "For today's plan, the only way to deal with the market is to use the market's methods, such as today's grain transportation, as soon as arrogance appears, you can rest assured, the price of grain in Dawang City will drop in the afternoon..."

At this time, Suzaku waved his hand gently, "Don't talk about this, tell me how you dealt with it in the end..."

"Yes, for those who smash and loot, whoever smashes it will be compensated with one gold coin per person, and if they take advantage of the chaos to rob the property, they will be compensated with three gold coins, and they will be subject to ten days of controlled labor, and let them sweep the snow..."

As for the soldiers, in addition to the fine, Zuo Panyu is also going to keep them in confinement for three days. In this way, the amount of compensation can reach two-thirds of the loss, and the remaining vacancy will be divided equally between the Black Iron Legion and the government, after all, this matter is also related to our ineffective governance..."

Suzaku was silent for a while, "Is the result acceptable?

"This is thanks to what the adults just said, I am striking while the iron is hot, and everyone present is convinced..."

At this point, this morning's chaos finally came to an end, and the turmoil caused by the seven-foot flower cloth did not expand at last, and the little spark only ignited a few wet sticks of wood and smoked before disappearing.

"Zuo Panyu, go back and send someone to appease the Ning Shun family, your military can't ignore the families of the dead in the war..."

As he was talking, the herald suddenly walked in, "My lord, the arrogance has been brought..."
