Chapter 6: The Nightmare of Grain Recruitment

But this day was a nightmare for the people of Shangyun Town, and countless life-saving food was requisitioned.

In addition to inspecting the grain in the grain tanks and cellars, all the places suspected of being able to hide grain were turned over, for fear that the people would hide the grain.

The common people looked at the unscrupulous and arrogant behavior of this group of people, and they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

The elder of the big family in Shangyun Town came to reason with the grain collector, and the adult had a disdainful look in his eyes and a sneer, and he didn't care, obviously thinking that there was no need to pay attention to the thoughts of a group of untouchables.

The anger, panic, and helplessness of the people lingered in the sky over the entire Shangyun Town, and some people couldn't help but pounce when they saw that the hidden grain was turned over by the officials.

"This is the only remaining surplus food, please lord, leave a way to live!"

The official kicked it away and brutally dragged out the surplus grain.

"It's for you to compensate." Throwing down two pennies and rolling to the ground, ignoring the people who fell to the side and crying, they dragged the looted grain to the grain truck.

"This bag weighs two pounds, it's only worth two cents, and one pound of grain shops has been sold for six cents?"

"Is the government going to cut off our way of life?"

"Can you do a good job, gentlemen? Leave it alive. ”

"First there was a flood, then a plague of locusts, then another three years of drought, and now a plague of wars..... Does this still keep people alive?"

The voices of the indignant crowd grew louder and more agitated, and the noise and shouting spread.

The grain collector glanced at the leader of the hunt.

The leader of the fast catch drew his long knife and snorted in a threatening gesture.

"Don't quarrel, it's not that I won't compensate you."

The people of Shangyun Town were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak, and immediately the nearby residents immediately shut up.

The grain collector nodded with satisfaction, and shook his body proudly, "This group of mud legs is scolded." ”

The price of one pound and one penny is simply too deceitful. There were still many onlookers. Despite the anger and sympathy in everyone's eyes, no one dared to speak out against the murderous Swift Hunt Boss and the power of the Empire behind them.

Although he had already experienced this scene in the game, Yang Qi's heart couldn't help but sink deeply, and when he saw the scene of their family looting, he realized the unwillingness and hardships of the lower-class farmers, which the players in the game could not experience in any case.

The surnames of Shangyun Town are Wang and Qian, accounting for eighty percent of the total population, and the other two percent are either relatives or outsiders who have fled.

The grain requisition officer was a little dissatisfied with the progress of the grain requisition, so he instructed the leaders of the government to find the children of the big surnames, and subdued the people who wanted to come out, and the next requisition and transfer would be much easier.

The leader of the government officials swept around with cold eyes, looking for the people in the crowd who spoke angrily, had the most dissatisfied attitude, and wanted to do something, and they were from the big family in Shangyun Town, and they were somewhat powerful.

"It's his house, give me a good search!"

This is a teenager from the Wang family, named Wang Wei. Young and strong, he often goes out to hunt game in exchange for food, saves money, and leaves it for his younger brothers and sisters who are minors, backed by a large family, and can barely feed his younger brothers and sisters.

Now that every household is short of food, Wang Wei whispered that he had borrowed the food he had borrowed with great difficulty, and was ready to cook a full meal for his younger brothers and sisters who had not eaten for several days and were hungry.

Originally, it was expected that the family elders could reason and negotiate with the grain collector, but who knew that the people would not pay attention to it at all, and they were immediately depressed and disappointed.

A group of officials rushed into his house with bad intentions, and the sound of clamour, the sound of overturning the wall and the cabinet, and the ferocious arrogance, frightened the two underage children into trembling in the corner.

Wang Wei ran over to protect and comfort his younger brothers and sisters, feeling sorry for his hungry and frightened relatives. But in the face of the wolf-like servants, in order to protect the young brothers and sisters, he had to retreat.

"According to the order of the center, your family's grain will be requisitioned now, and you will be given reasonable compensation according to the market price."

The leader of the officials raised the roster in his hand, put it in his bag, took out three copper coins in his hand, and threw them on the ground. Dragging the grain bag straight out.

It was Wang Wei who begged for it after he broke his leg, and it was also life-saving food for his younger brothers and sisters, and he hadn't eaten for many days. He is young and strong enough to endure, but what about his younger siblings!

Wang Wei grabbed the grain bag by mistake.

"What are you doing?"

The leader of the government was stunned in disbelief, and someone dared to resist. After a while, he was furious, picked up the iron rod in his hand and smashed it down on his head and face.

Wang Wei couldn't dodge, and his face was covered with blood when he was smashed. Under the severe pain, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body shook and fell to the ground.

"The dog is looking for death, and I don't know what to do." Another stick at the grabbed arm, clicked
