A gust of wind came, rolling up the fallen leaves all over the ground, Luo Xiaoqiao suddenly felt a little dizzy, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart.

When did this start happening? Food prices have tripled without realizing it.

If you look at the fabric again, it is also rising.

Luo Xiaoqiao remembered the famous battle between silver dollars and rice grain in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there was a forbidden poem: "Shanghai presses the city and cages the black clouds, and the scholars wave their fans to appease the demon atmosphere..."

At that time, a sack of banknotes could only buy a pound of grain, and even the effort of drinking a cup of tea had to skyrocket.

Fortunately, it is not yet the winter of food shortage, and the autumn harvest has just been achieved, and the Northland Times has appropriately guided public opinion, so the public's attention has not been fixed on it for the time being.

But what about merchants? How could a shrewd businessman not move?

Wang Jinqiao looked at Luo Xiaoqiao's face, and pulled her to the restaurant next to her in a somewhat low voice: "You found out?" ”

Luo Xiaoqiao nodded: "Is it because of Luguan?" ”

"Yes. The suspension bridge in Luguan has been completely hoisted a few days ago, and there is only a wooden plank bridge for pedestrians to come and go, and even horse-drawn carriages are difficult to come over. ”

"That..." Luo Xiaoqiao swallowed, not knowing how to ask.

"King Jing released 100,000 stone of grain, which barely maintained the current state, but it couldn't last long." Wang Jinqiao's words were also a little low.

"Shipping is a flower in the mirror, and the merchant is just here for the time being because he is not in danger, so he will take a handful of it by the way, but if it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before he leaves."

"Do you have any plans?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"Our Wang family's food is running out, and it will last another month at most. This year, most of the rice in Spring City has been purchased and put into the government treasury, but it is impossible to supply so many people. Now the overseas ships have not been built, and if the materials outside can't come, it will be difficult..."Wang Jinqiao did not continue.

Luo Xiaoqiao already understands that soaring prices are the beginning, chaos is the follow-up, and after that, I am afraid that it will be fatal.

She didn't say anything more, and returned to Luojia Village in a somewhat depressed mood. There is still laughter and laughter in this village, and what she has built is like a paradise, will it soon be extinguished in the torrent of history?

No, she can't do anything about it, but that man should have a plan.

Luo Xiaoqiao raised her hand and knocked on the courtyard next door, she was not sure if he was there at this time.

But at this time, she suddenly wanted to hear this man's voice. The young but deep tone, like a boulder standing in the wind, always gives people a feeling of leaning.

"Little Miss Qiao, why are you here now?" Old man Wang looked at her in a trance, and asked her to talk in the courtyard.

"Is the prince here?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"Just came back", Zuo Mulin pointed to the main house, snorted his mouth, and made a "terrifying" expression, which means that someone is in a bad mood, so it is better to make less trouble.

Luo Xiaoqiao nodded at him and walked away: "Lord Wang? ”

Mu Jingyi had already discovered her, and at this time she turned her back to the door and wiped her face with a towel.

"What's the matter?" The voice sounded a little tired.

"I went to Xingcheng today, I saw some situations, I didn't feel very good, and I wanted to come and talk to the prince", Luo Xiaoqiao pondered the language.

Mu Jingyi turned around suddenly, Luo Xiaoqiao was a little surprised, the man in front of him who looked unshaven was King Jing?

She raised her eyes and looked at it: "Lord Wang, how many days have you not slept here?" ”

Mu Jingyi glanced at her: "Let's get down to business." ”

"Can you see the latest prices?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"Hmm."

"What are your plans? Is there a need for women? Luo Xiaoqiao was thinking, in case she needed to contribute some financial resources to Weibo, she didn't have no money at all, for everyone's sake, she had to rush forward, right?

"Well, you go to Yanshan with me tomorrow!" In the words is the persistence that cannot be refused.

"You want to attack Lu Pass?" Luo Xiaoqiao was a little surprised: "The number of delta wings is not enough, right?" ”

"It's too late, this king has just arranged this side, and if it continues to hold on, the north will be in chaos, and it must be resolved quickly and open the pass for the delivery of materials."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Luo Xiaoqiao is also simply.

…

"Xiao Qiao, take care of yourself on this trip, don't make trouble for the prince"

When everyone in the Luo family heard that she was going to Luguan, they were a little unsure. But Luo Xiaoqiao said that she would go to debug the delta wing and go back, there would be no danger, which made everyone stop.

Luo Niuniu also wanted to follow, but he was stopped.

"Grandma, don't go, I'm afraid that the road will not be peaceful, there are too many people and it is easy to be exposed, so I will ride over with the prince."

I saw him off at the door early in the morning, and the nagging in my words was full of thoughts.

The two of them drove lightly and hurriedly. Nearly 100 delta wings have been made in the early stage, and they have set off two days in advance, and it is expected to be delivered to Yanshan at this moment.

Knowing that Luo Xiaoqiao could ride a horse, Mu Jingyi decisively gave up the carriage.

Time waits for no one, and Shangguan is arrogant, for fear that there will be no chance to make trouble. There must be no further delay, and the later the day, the harder it will be to get the situation out of control.

"Lord Vasya, Luo Xiaoqiao is far away", Liu Yongchang said to the man in black.

"A peasant girl, what are you doing when you go far away?"

"I feel that King Jing didn't show up either, will they be together?" Liu Yongchang speculated.

"Tell him to go down and keep an eye on the road at Luguan to see what he is going to do," the man in black said, pinching his cup.

"Lord Vasya thinks they went to Luguan?"

"You shouldn't have asked, don't care."

Luo Xiaoqiao and Mu Jingyi worked quickly and smoothly.

At first, Luo Xiaoqiao was not very adaptable, the two of them were not running fast, and Mu Jingyi needed to slow down and wait for her. By ten o'clock in the afternoon, she slowly followed.

If you go to Luguan and hurry day and night, you will arrive in about two days and two nights.

"Are you okay?" After walking for most of the day, except for stopping to drink water and eat on the way, the iron-clad man did not say a word.

"Okay, go on?" Luo Xiaoqiao is also unwilling to waste time.

Every minute of delay now may have to be repaid in the future at a price that cannot be paid.

Luo Xiaoqiao didn't want to waste time, but soon she tasted the bitterness. She hadn't ridden for a long time, and by the time she found out, her inner thighs had been worn out.

After a little rest at night, when I jumped off the horse, my legs were a little unsteady. Originally, such a little trauma was nothing, and it would be fine to put on a bandage for two days.

But in order to save time, they were running wildly all the way, in this wilderness, there was not even a little cover, no matter how big Luo Xiaoqiao's heart was, he felt that he couldn't treat his wounds in front of an adult man.

Thanks to Luo Xiaoni and Shen Yinzhu for their thoughtfulness, she has a lot of daily necessities in her baggage.

She found a corner, sprinkled herself with gold sore medicine, wrapped it tightly with a cloth, and put a thick layer of cotton on it.

On the second day, she continued to ride, but she didn't know that it was one thing to get hurt, and after knowing it, it was easier to focus on the wound, and she felt a hot pain in her thigh.
