On the streets of Xingcheng, the people looked a little panicked.

"Fellow, what are you doing here?" The old man grabbed the man and asked.

"What else are you doing? Hurry up and buy food." The man said.

"Isn't this just a wheat harvest? What do you do when you buy food? ”

"Don't you know? I heard from the people in the government that Lu is closed, and nothing can be passed through the things in the pass, and we have this little food in the north, and I am afraid that people will starve to death this year. ”

"What? Why haven't you heard of it? The first two days were fine. ”

"Alas...... Go ahead, it's gone if it's late......"

In front of the Wang family's grain shop, Ai Ai was crowded with people, because although the price of grain here is also rising, it is nearly 20% cheaper than other places.

Wang Jinqiao was a little anxious: "Uncle, if it goes on like this, there will be no food the day after tomorrow, what should I do?" ”

Wang Sanhai was also a little worried when he touched his big belly, the food of King Jing's Mansion was provided to them in unlimited quantities, and he couldn't stop such consumption.

"Master, I saw that the Jiang family's little servant came to us, I am afraid that they will collect our grain at a low price, and they will sell it themselves in the future", the shopkeeper was also a little anxious.

There is no shortage of materials, but prices have skyrocketed, and even if all the food is released, it is only enough for a few days.

"Is there any news from Luguan?"

"I only know that King Jing has passed, and I don't know anything else."

"Pass the order, the grain will be distributed according to the number of people every day, and each person will not exceed two stones per day", Wang Sanhai frowned, "Let's go to find out the news of Luguan again"

"Yes, sir."

This method can only be emergency, King Jing asked him to stabilize the market price, if the people have no confidence, it will be difficult.

Luo Xiaoqiao and Feng Chenhao drove the carriage and arrived in Xingcheng in a hurry.

Along the way, they met many people who had come out with their families to buy food, and even many people, following their convoy to pick up loose rice.

Luo Xiaoqiao's brows furrowed fiercely.

"Er Shao, we can't go in like this", Luo Xiaoqiao said: "At this time, if you want to change the situation, you must give the people confidence." ”

"How?" Feng Chenhao asked.

"Beat the gongs and drums, tell them that the west gate is open, and let them see for themselves. At the same time, let everyone see that a steady stream of grain teams is coming from Luguan," Luo Xiaoqiao said.

Feng Chenhao pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but remind her: "Do you know? In this way, he will have a mortal enmity with the Jiang family. ”

"What do you mean?" Luo Xiaoqiao was puzzled.

"Except for a small part of the grain that usually came from Luguan, all the rest was monopolized by the Jiang family. We opened the West City Gate, which means that in the future, the Jiang family's grain and grass business will have one more person or even more people to get a piece of the pie. If it is so aggressive, even if the Jiang family does not dare to trouble their cousin, they will definitely be angry. ”

Feng Chenhao didn't continue, Luo Xiaoqiao understood too much, anyone would pinch the soft persimmon: "You want me to hide behind the scenes?" ”

"It's too late, the Jiang family is not as simple as you think, you and I will find out sooner or later", Feng Chenhao pondered for a long time, and said: "There is no other way now, but don't worry, we will compensate you, even if they target you, they will let you have an identity that others dare not move." ”

"Let's go......"

In the Wang's grain shop in Xingcheng, the guy blushed and shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, the Lu Pass has been opened, King Jing has retrieved the West City Gate, and it will not be closed in the future." A large amount of grain and grass has been transported from Luguan, and it will arrive immediately. ”

"Don't deceive people, open the Luguan, why don't there be people from the government to speak, they have been hiding before, and to this day, we don't believe you anymore", the Jiang family made noise in the crowd, and many businessmen's families followed suit.

They all have a lot of inventory, and even when they heard the news, they urgently transported a large amount of grain, cotton yarn and other materials from all over the country, and even sent a lot of people to collect grain from the Wang's grain shop.

"Master Fu is out, Master Fu is out, look!" I don't know who shouted.

"Master Fu, please be the master of the grass people", on another street, the scholars who were asking for their lives also knelt down one after another, holding banners above their heads.

"Everyone, don't worry, the government will immediately post a notice, Luguan has indeed been banned for a while, but during that time, the northern land has stored sufficient grain, grass and materials, and it has not caused much inconvenience to you, has it? I don't know why everyone is so panicked this time? ”

"Master Fu", a scholar with a small mole on the corner of his mouth stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "You see, the current facts show that the crisis has appeared, the merchants have raised prices, and the grass people want to know, why has the government concealed it so far?" What can the government do now? ”

While they were talking, the officials had already posted notices on the streets and printed a large number of Northland Times.

A few talents each had a copy, staring at the contents of the newspaper, and a few people showed a hint of joy on their faces.

"Reader, what are you talking about?" The people queuing up to buy grain have already seen the excitement next to them, but no one is willing to give up the position they only got in line for a day, the Wang family sells so much grain in one day, what if they are gone?

"King Jing has recaptured the West City Gate, and Feng Ershao has already brought a large amount of grain and grass over!"

"What? Is it true? ”

This news is like a frying pan, crackling and blowing up the minds of many people. And there were those who were ecstatic, and there were those who did not believe, and there were those who hesitated, and they did not disperse.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, they're lying to us again!" Another radical scholar in the crowd shouted: "I heard that the imperial court is coming to prevent King Jing from opening border trade, taking back his military power, and escorting him back to Beijing. ”

"What!" More people were dumbfounded now.

Is it true? The king of the northern land is going to be escorted back to Beijing?

"Naturally it's true, otherwise why didn't King Jing show up for so long? It's not controlled, what else can it be? ”

The scholar continued to fan. Even the spies of the Rakshasa country fanned the flames inside, and for a while, the trend of public opinion was reversed, some believed and some half-believed.

Shangguan Jiao of the restaurant next to him was full of treachery: "Hmph, fight with me!" It's your time! ”

As long as King Jing does not appear in these days, the north will be in chaos. Even if he came back later, such a mud pit would be enough to drag him to death.

Fu jumped to his feet in a hurry, so that no one believed it. Huang Yuzhang and Cai Yuhan are basically in the same situation.

"Master Fu, this matter has to be King Jing's appearance in order to make the people trust", the scholar reasoned slowly, "Where has King Jing gone?" Why didn't it show up? Have you already returned to Beijing? ”

As soon as these words came out, the people became even more panicked, and those who had hesitated and did not intend to continue to buy grain tightly occupied their positions. No matter what happens, before I met King Jing, I couldn't believe anyone's words.

Buy, buy food, buy more food to survive!

Luo Xiaoqiao and Feng Chenhao drove the endless carriage in a high-profile manner, walking on the road, there were many people watching, many people asking, but no one dispersed.

When I saw bags of grain unloaded, I saw a crowd swarming up and continuing to buy!

Luo Xiaoqiao was a little dumbfounded, it shouldn't be!
