Just after Ye Zheng and Wang Jing discussed the countermeasures to deal with the government, in the evening of the next day, Feifengzhai received messages from various cottages.

Li Shiqing, who was in charge of this matter, collected all the letters and personally sent them to Ye Zheng's residence, where he personally opened them.

It took Ye Zheng nearly an hour, and under Li Shiqing's explanation and translation from the side, he finally figured out the content of those letters, and after learning about the messages from various cottages, his brows couldn't help frowning deeply, and he secretly felt troublesome.

It turned out that recently, the major mountain bandit forces in Cangliang Mountain have all encountered the same trouble, that is, there has been a shortage of grain and grass. As for why they are short of grain and grass, the letter is clearly written, saying that in the past half month, the brothers sent out by various cottages to buy grain and grass have all encountered the same problem, that is, they have not been able to buy a large amount of rice grain in the grain stores in all the towns near this desolate mountain range.

The reason is that recently, the official office of Linjiang City suddenly issued an order, that is, all people who go to the grain store to buy rice and grain must have a household registration document that can prove their identity, so that they can buy rice and grain smoothly, and what is even more incomprehensible is that the rice and grain purchased by each household must not exceed the five days of daily life, otherwise, the grain store and the grain store can refuse to buy and sell.

At the same time, in order to ensure the thorough implementation of this decree, the government actually sent many people from the public to seize the grain stores and grain stores run by many private grain merchants, so that almost all the ordinary people who did not have grain in stock could only go to the grain stores run by the government to buy rice grain.

Therefore, during this period of time, the brothers sent out by the major mountain bandit forces in Cangliang Mountain to buy grain and grass were busy for a few days, and they only bought a little bit of rice and grain back, and these meager rice and grain they brought back, where was enough for the operation and expenses of a huge cottage, and suddenly, there were many mountain bandit forces in Cangliang Mountain, and they were in a situation of extreme lack of grain and grass, like those cottages in a more miserable situation, their grain and grass were only enough to last for about seven days at most, and they were still in a situation of thrift.

In short, now the situation of the various cottages in the entire Canghuang Mountain is very embarrassing, although each cottage has a lot of gold and silver money, but it can't buy enough grain and grass, suddenly, a group of mountain bandit leaders began to panic, and they have sent letters to the alliance leader Ye Zheng, hoping that he can help everyone solve this difficulty.

After Ye Zheng read these letters, he immediately instructed his subordinates to reply to the various cottages with flying pigeons, and asked all their leaders to come to Fengmingling to discuss how to deal with this matter together. At the same time, Ye Zheng also paid special attention to those very powerful cottage forces that were already short of food, and he replied that if those small cottages could not be maintained, he would immediately let their village leaders lead all their subordinates to come to their Feifeng Village to tide over the difficulties.

Because when Feifengzhai ransacked Zhoujiabao last time, he robbed back a lot of carts of grain, gold and silver money, and Chen Fu has always had a kind of precautionary preparation, so a month ago, he sent his men to the surrounding towns of Cangliang Mountain to buy a large amount of grain, grass and rice oil, according to the living needs of Feifengzhai, there is no problem in maintaining it for half a year.

When he asked these carrier pigeons to be sent out, he immediately summoned all the hall masters and the head of the main affairs in the cottage to tell everyone about this extremely important matter, and at the same time, he also ordered Chen Fu to lead his craftsmen and carpenters to build as many simple huts as possible in the next few days, because in a few days, some cottages will come to them Fengmingling to spend the difficulty, as the leader of the Desolate Alliance, Ye Zheng has the obligation and responsibility to arrange and take care of their diet and daily life.

After Chen Fu got Ye Zheng's order, he didn't think about it, he agreed on the spot, and he also promised that he would definitely do what the alliance leader ordered to do properly.

Ye Zheng listened to it, he was very satisfied with his performance, and praised him on the spot, although there were more polite elements in it, but after Chen Fu heard it, his heart was still very happy, and he was also actively responsible for doing things.

After Ye Zheng arranged all these emergency things, he was in the cottage, anxiously waiting for the leaders of the major mountain bandit forces in Cangliang Mountain to arrive.

About the afternoon of the next day, in the boundary of Qifeng Mountain, the leaders and men of various cottage forces appeared one after another, and at this time, the mountain patrol horses of Sitang hurriedly rushed back and told Ye Zheng.

When Ye Zheng learned about it, he immediately informed Chen Fu to prepare a banquet and wait to welcome the arrival of the mountain kings.

In the Juyi Hall of Feifeng Village, the leaders of the various mountain bandits of the Nine Mountains and Twelve Peaks in Cangliang Mountain took their seats one after another, but their faces were not very good-looking at the moment, and they thought that they had been troubled by the lack of food for a while now.

At this time, Ye Zheng sat on the tiger skin chair on the stone platform, leaned over to look at the group of mountain bandit leaders below with poor faces, and listened carefully to their feedback to him about the various problems and troubles encountered in the desolate cottages.

In fact, what everyone repeatedly mentions the most is nothing more than the lack of food.

At this time, the leader of a cottage suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "Alliance leader, the intention of the official government of Linjiang City is to force us into a desperate situation, if I guess correctly, they will use troops against Cang Desolation next, alliance leader, how can we do it now?"

Ye Zheng frowned and asked, "Since those towns near Cangliang Mountain can't buy grain and grass, can't we rob it?" If there are so many black-hearted merchants and rich people today, I don't believe that they don't have grain in their mansions? If you want us people in the green forest, what we are good at is the chivalrous thing of robbing the rich and helping the poor. ”

When everyone heard this, they shook their heads and said with a bitter smile: "Alliance leader, don't you know what I am? In recent days, we have led the cottage brothers to rob some of the old landlords in the desolate vicinity, but the harvest is very small, somehow, the grain in the granary of the people's house was suddenly bought out by the government, and the rest is only enough for their house to maintain food and clothing, originally we wanted to arrest the master and torture and force him to ask, but the people seemed to know that we were going, and they didn't know where to hide early?"

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, as if he noticed that this matter was not simple, he pondered for a moment before he said: "Today's plan, most of the cottages in Canghuang have fallen into a situation of lack of food, so now we must get grain and grass as soon as possible to solve this problem, what good suggestions and opinions do you have for this?"

When the leaders of the mountain bandits heard this, they all said that they would gather more people from the cottages, run a little farther, and go to the boundaries of the state cities far away from Cangliang Mountain to rob, because at present, they heard that for the time being, only the official office of Linjiang City has issued an order to restrict the purchase of grain, and some other state cities have not issued such orders, so if they go to other state cities, there should be gains, but the distance is a little farther, and it may be very troublesome to transport and transport.

When Ye Zheng heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Actually, it is not very difficult to solve this problem, and it is even very simple, we have to rob grain and grass, but why do we have to run so far." ”

When the leaders of the mountain bandits heard this, they were all shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Then according to the words of the alliance leader, what should we do?"

After hearing this, Ye Zheng pretended to be unfathomable, and smiled: "Let me ask you a question, who has the most grain and grass in the realm of Linjiang City recently?"

When everyone heard this, they replied without thinking: "Of course it's the government!"

Ye Zheng suddenly laughed, and said a bold word that shocked the audience. "In that case, why don't we rob the official rations?"
