Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai soon arrived at home, and as soon as Tiankuo told him about today's events, the two of them were also excited at the same time.

Wang Tianxiang said, "My lord, we are just about to tell the adults about this, it is the work of the past few days, many people in the village have sold the grain, and some people have gone to the countryside to collect it, and the price is directly given to the old high, last year a pound of wheat was only three yuan, and this year it was directly given ten yuan, this price is not right when I hear it, but the people hear such a price, so can it be repaid?" This is a high price that has never been sold before, and many people even sold most of their family's grain, just to take advantage of this time to make more money, and even thought of using the money to buy food from other people's homes. ”

Wang Tian said, "There are people like that in our village, and when I was not at home that day, I went back and listened to the people at home saying, "My lord, this doesn't seem right." ”

Tiankuo nodded, "Today I also went to the market with my sister to take a look, it is true, the people who buy grain look like ordinary people, but I believe that there must be someone behind this, this year's drought is not just our place, this is a large area of drought at the same time, and the border defense has taken away troops, and if it goes on like this, there will definitely be chaos." ”

"Now that the grain has just been harvested, every household is not short of food, but in the back, it is not necessarily, and moreover, at this time, Lu County sells a large number of grain, what news will this tell others? There is food in this place in Lu County, if there is really chaos, our place will cause big trouble. ”

This is a very simple question, they have already thought of it, Wang Tian said, "At the moment, the people should not be allowed to sell food anymore, and the other party probably also thought of this, so the price was very high." ”

Tiankuo thought for a while before saying, "Then force the people not to sell, no matter whether they are resentful or hateful in their hearts, at this time they can only resort to tough means, and they can't be allowed to sell grain again, this matter must be done immediately, tell the people everywhere, and then by the person who sells the grain, the rod will be thirty rods, and the fine will be fifty taels of silver." ”

This is not a good way, it is easy to arouse public anger, but if you don't want to come up with a way at this juncture, the food in the people's homes will be sold out, and there will be no more.

When something really happened, it was too late to regret it, at this time it was necessary to make a decision quickly, and it couldn't be delayed for a day, those people obviously had a plan to buy food, it was only a few days, listening to Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tian, many people had already sold the food at home, and if they didn't respond, it would be really late.

On the same day, they arranged this matter, and in a place as big as Lu County, if it was at such a fast pace as before, it would take a few days to spread the news to various villages, and it would really be too late.

Therefore, Tiankuo ordered the officials of the yamen to go to the countryside to stop them quickly, and let them stay in the countryside for two days, and they must implement this matter, not just empty talk, if someone really ignores the order of the yamen, and at this juncture they still want to sell the grain, they must be punished according to the set rules, at this time, they must not be soft, otherwise it is easy to make a big mistake.

For the common people, the official who can help them live a good life is a good official, and now the people of Lu County love this magistrate very much, and they will do whatever the magistrate asks them to do, but this is okay to listen to when it is smooth, and if you really encounter a conflict of interest with them, it will not work.

At this time, they only saw how high the price of grain was, and the yamen prevented them from selling food at this time, and most of these ordinary people did not rely on it, and there would definitely be conflicts.

Sure enough, when the news spread to the countryside, many people quit, and now that the price of grain is so good, how many years have they been looking forward to such a good market, and the yamen actually came to say that it was not allowed to sell food, why is this?

The food they collected at home, they carefully weighed it, and left all the food they wanted to eat, can they still go hungry? Even if next year's year is not good, if you plant so many crops, won't you have to take back a lot? As long as you can't be hungry, you have lived a harder life than this before, and now you have to sell your grain, and when the year is good, and others are not short of food, can their grain still be sold at this price?

Only one official went to the countryside to spread the word, and everyone didn't take him seriously, and someone picked the head and immediately shouted these words, no matter how they explained, it was useless.

This problem is a big problem, although they are left enough food at home, their own family will not be hungry, but once the food is sold, then there will be more refugees in other places, knowing that the people in this place of Lu County have food at home, they will definitely flock to come, those people maliciously buy the food back, of course, it is not free for the victims to eat, but to sell it at a high price, hoarding Juqi, now the food is in their hands, and at that time to sell it, but it is not the current price.

In addition, this year's year is not good, and the seeds are to be picked out of the recovered grain, and the quality of the seeds is certainly not as good as before, which will also affect next year's harvest.

These officials in the village explained it very clearly, but they always felt that this was an excuse for the yamen, and now that the price is good, the yamen will not let them sell it, and they must want them to sell the grain to the yamen, and then the yamen will take it out to make money.

These ordinary people are busy working in the fields all day long, where do they have the time to think about so many problems, anyway, they only know that now the yamen is blocking their way to make money, and this is not good.

Most of the villages are still willing to be obedient, although they are not very satisfied, but there are people from the yamen who will not come here nonsense, at most they will just say a few words.

But in some villages, some people are more difficult to discipline, the rules are in front of them, and they are still shouting to sell their own grain, but they can only follow the rules set above, and they are beaten and fined, and it is easy to beat the board, but the fine money can not be recovered, and it is not a way to go on like this.

And at such a critical time, those who deliberately buy food are still raising the price, things like potatoes, the moisture is very heavy, take a few is a catty, can be sold for thirteen yuan, where have the people seen such a thing, there are so many things piled up at home, take it out and sell it, how much money do you have to sell back?

In this way, the orders of the yamen could not control them at all.
