Chapter 1065: Awake

There is no way to give such an order, and after two days, the news from below is really not good, and it will be uncontrollable if it continues like this.

Not only will all the grain be sold short, but it will also intensify the contradictions between the common people and the yamen, and life will be peaceful in the future, and many things will not be convenient.

People are prone to mistakes and omissions when they panic, and Tiankuo's brain is dizzy at this time, knowing that he should think of a better way, but he can't think of anything.

But he still wanted to send a letter to Zijun, there is a general drought here this year, presumably the same is true of the territory under Zijun's jurisdiction, those people came to Lu County to buy grain hostilely, and they also wanted to come to Zijun's side, because they also planted a lot of new crops like this, this year, in addition to these things, there is no harvest from other things, only relying on their two counties to produce some grain, and it is absolutely impossible to sell it at the moment.

Tiankuo sent someone to send the letter to Zijun, and on the third day he also received a reply, Zijun said in the letter that there was indeed such a situation there, he had ordered the people not to sell grain, but the effect was still not very good, obviously, now the situation faced by the two counties is the same, Lu County should be more serious, after all, the territory here is larger, and there is more grain.

Tiankuo has been worried about this matter for the past two days, he really can't eat, he can't sleep, he just got sick some time ago, and he was haggard when he saw people.

Siqi was also anxious in his heart, and kept thinking of ways for him, and finally had no choice but to think about his plan to take the most dangerous move, "Wouldn't it be okay to let the people see in advance what the consequences of going on like this are?" ”

Tiankuo was a little puzzled, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

Siqi hurriedly said, "Aren't we worried now that a large number of food is being sold now, which will attract disaster victims, and there will be chaos at that time?" Now those people are raising the price of grain very high, we blindly stop the people from selling grain, they will definitely not follow, then let them see what the consequences of doing this are, presumably without the yamen to come forward, they will also weigh in their hearts. ”

Tiankuo immediately understood what she meant, after a few days, he finally saw the smiling face, and immediately said, "Okay, just do what you say, I'll arrange it." ”

They secretly found some people from the towns, and asked them to dress up as beggars, and take the broken bowls to another place to ask for food, and the towns exchanged them, so that they could ensure that the other people did not know them.

These people dressed up as refugees, dragged their families with their families, and went to various villages to ask for food, or when they were not ready, they also had some disputes with the people in the villages, and if they did not make a little trouble, it would not be effective, so the yamen also spent a lot of effort to find many people to do such things.

According to the reports of the people below, many villages have begun to realize the danger, because these people have been saying that they have heard others say that they have food here, so they came here, and many people will come later, begging the well-wishers to take some food to help, and when this year is over, they will definitely repay it.

When you hear that there are more refugees coming, how can you not panic? Even if there is surplus food at home, he does not plan to sell it again, in case he attracts these refugees, he will not be able to get rid of them.

In this way, only a small number of people are still selling food, and they also have the energy to find out who is behind this.

Although they have been here for two years, they still don't know about the local situation, and this large-scale purchase of grain is still at a high price, and ordinary financial resources can't do it.

Master Zhou has been in this place for many years, and it should be easier to find out about this matter than for the yamen to come forward.

Tiankuo and Siqi went to see Master Zhou together, and Mrs. Zhou was also on the side, Tiankuo said this directly, and Master Zhou responded.

"Don't worry, the small people will do their best to find out, in fact, it's simple, and when there is a shortage of food in various places in a few days, they will definitely put these grains out to sell, and when the time comes, see who is the biggest source of goods, and this matter will be able to be figured out."

Tiankuo nodded, "I want to know who took away the grain now, if it is really waiting for him to release it at a high price, then the yamen will not be able to make a countermeasure, if it can be found out now, I think I want to find a way to get the grain back." ”

Master Zhou knows his plan, and is also helping to find a way, hoping to solve this matter satisfactorily, anywhere, as long as there is a famine year, it is unlikely that there will be no chaos, this year's year, such a thing happened just after the autumn harvest, it is indeed necessary to be vigilant, and wait until there is a big mess to react, it will be too late.

They still had something to say, and Siqi was bored listening to it here, so he went to other places with Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou's belly is already very high now, counting the time, it should be born before the Chinese New Year, looking at her ruddy complexion, thinking that her body is well raised, Siqi is also happy for her, and said with a smile, "No wonder you don't go to me these days, your belly is so big, you have to take care of it, you still have to go out less, in case something goes wrong, it will be more than worth the loss." ”

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Yes, the old lady just won't let me go out now, saying that there are many people outside, and it will be troublesome to collide, so let me go to her every day to talk to her, fortunately, there is such a big mansion, walk around and see, there are still some things to deal with, the day will pass quickly, these days, there are many troubles, I can't let you go to the house to talk, we are really going to have a break." ”

Siqi smiled and said, "After you give birth, won't you have time to talk?" These days are really busy headaches, I don't know if this matter can be solved in the end, let alone what will happen in the coming year, and ah, now people are eyeing it, if it's just the victims from other counties who come to ask for food, then it's also the people of our country in the end, if the Mongolian people take the opportunity to come in and grab things, then what? When it comes to a famine year, nothing goes well, and that's true. ”

Mrs. Zhou said, "Although there is no evidence to say who did this matter, I think it is probably inseparable from the Lin family, do you remember the Lin family?" ”

Si Qi was stunned for a moment, "You mean the old man Lin who didn't deal with Master Zhou before?" ”
