In the following days, several brigades often hunted separately, often together, or one or two brigades worked together.

Xue Langjing's squadron was almost not easy every time.

It's always dangerous.

As for the reason, it is that they have achieved remarkable results and have become a model squadron, and those who are capable work hard and set an example for everyone.

For this reason, Tao Sanxi, who was the deputy leader, also collapsed Cao Hua and her second squadron.

As the captain, how could Xiang Lingyun not see the twists and turns, but he didn't say anything.

Although it is more dangerous, for Xue Langjing, why is this not a test?

On the hunting team's side, Xue Langjing is in dire straits every day.

Outside, it's not very peaceful.

Let's talk about the far north.

Because of the severe drought, many people, especially the people at the bottom, are really living in dire straits!

The Zheng family, who is responsible for stabilizing the price of grain in Dachu, is even more unhappy every day.

There was already a natural disaster of drought, and man-made disasters gradually arose.

Grain merchants in various localities took the opportunity to hoard grain, raise grain prices, and seek violence, which made the people miserable.

As soon as the grain harvest failed, the people not only lacked food, but also could not sell it for money.

They live on this food every year, but now not only do they have no money, but the price of food is abnormally high, so they can't buy food, so they can only starve.

As for the food provided by the imperial court for disaster relief, after layers of exploitation, when they came here, it was not an exaggeration to say that the two porridges distributed every day were rice soup, and there were not a few grains of rice in the bowl, where could they feed the hungry stomach!

is the Zheng family's grain shop that the people rely on, even if they do their best, it is difficult for the Qiao women to cook without rice, and their food cannot be guaranteed.

For example, Longqiong County in Najiang Lefu.

This is the hardest hit area.

In the county seat, the Zhengjia grain shop, the original penny a pound of miscellaneous grains, rose to four pennies a catty, coarse grain rough noodles, seven pennies a catty.

As for other grain shops, even the cheapest, the miscellaneous grains have risen to 15 yuan, and the coarse grain rough noodles are 20 yuan per catty.

Even though it is so expensive, the grain in the Zheng family grain store is still limited to daily purchases.

Moreover, they directly took the household registration book, and according to this booklet, each person was limited to half a catty of grain per day.

As long as the shares of the day are sold out, they will simply stop selling until tomorrow.

In this way, although each person can buy little, it can ensure that more people can eat food.

Therefore, in order to buy the cheapest grain, many people even braved the cold to line up outside Zheng's grain store all night, just for that mouthful of grain.

If you can't buy the Zheng family's low-priced grain, you can only go to other homes to buy high-priced grain.

As for the two bowls of rice soup distributed by the imperial court for free, they could not be fed at all.

So why did the Zheng family also increase the price instead of selling it at the original price?

Of course, this is because they can't raise so much food at a low price, and a lot of food is bought from other places at a high price, and the cost of food is high.

If the Zheng family still sells at the original price, even if their family has a big business, they can't afford such a loss.

In particular, they were also cheated tens of millions of taels of silver, as well as a lot of grain.

However, they will not suffer dumb losses.

Directly inform the people about the high price of grain purchased, so that they know that they are selling grain to them at a loss, so as to ensure that they can feed as many people as possible.

The reputation of the Zheng family shop in the hearts of the people is excellent, even if they don't trust the imperial court, they won't disbelieve them, although there are many who don't care about this and just want to buy more food, but more people still understand it in their hearts.

In the early hours of December 5th.

As usual, the people almost took out their warmest clothes and sat outside the Zheng family's grain store all night, forming a long queue outside.

Although they didn't want to queue up, they all wanted to run to the front in the hope of grabbing food.

But the Zheng family said that if they didn't line up honestly, they would not sell them food, and they also sent men to stand guard outside the door all night, just to supervise them and not let them cut the line.

Someone is staring at it, and they can only line up honestly.

Seeing that the time for the grain shop to open the door has come, the people are also excited, especially those in the front, today's food and clothing are guaranteed.

After the door opened, the shop did not sell two immediately, but drilled out a few guys, holding gongs and amplification tools in their hands.

As soon as they looked like this, the people knew that the Zheng family had something important to announce.

Whenever this happens, the people are looking forward to it or apprehensive.

Expectation, naturally, is hope for good news.

I am nervous, but I am afraid that there will be bad news, such as a price increase, or a reduction in the amount of sales.

It's just that when they saw the expressions on the faces of the guys, the yellow-skinned people couldn't help but smile happily, because there was definitely good news.

Sure enough, after a few gongs, the guys announced a great news to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, my Zheng family's grain store in Longqiong County will increase the sales volume of at least 40,000 catties of grain every day..."

Before the man could finish speaking, all that remained was the cheers of the people.

"Okay, great..."

"God forbid, we have food, haha..."

"40,000 catties of grain, I calculate, oh my God, there are 80,000 more people who can buy food every day!"

"80,000 more, plus the previous one, isn't that equivalent to ensuring the food of all the people in the county? We don't have to buy the profiteers' food anymore..."

"The Zheng family is really a good person, a good person..."

"I don't have to worry about not being able to buy food in the future..."

When everyone was discussing hotly, the gongs in the hands of the guys were even more 'clanging'.

There were also a lot of guys shouting for them to be quiet, and they weren't done yet.

After the excitement passed, the people continued to listen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, 40,000 catties is just the foundation, from today onwards, although each person is still limited to half a catty, we will no longer sell grain for a limited time.

As long as it is on the county's household register, all of them can buy half a catty of grain with their identity stickers, do you think it's good? ”

"Good, good..."

Everyone cheered again, and the man continued, "There are two new kinds of grain in the store, one is the miscellaneous grain that our Zheng family has cultivated with great difficulty, and the other is dried vegetables.

The newly planted cereals, called potato noodles, cost two cents a pound, dried vegetables cost three dollars a pound, and other miscellaneous grains were reduced from the original four dollars to three dollars, and brown rice coarse noodles were reduced to five dollars. ”

"Okay, great, the price of food has dropped..."

"God has eyes, every day, those profiteers, the price of food has risen crazy, even a few times a day! I didn't expect that the Zheng family could still reduce the price, there must be enough food, we have been saved..."

"There is salvation..."

。。。

After announcing the new rules, the Zheng family began to sell grain.

As soon as the door opened, the people in front of the queue rushed in.

When the people who had entered were almost there, the men stopped the people behind and waited for some of the men who had bought grain in front of them to leave before they were allowed to enter.
