Chapter 10, Xiao Nian

"Selling grain, one hundred and thirty wen a catty, selling grain pulling, one hundred and thirty wen a catty." Jiang Yuanyuan shouted very arrogantly, she was sitting on a grain truck, very wanton, pursing her lips, and smiling very happily.

Some people pushed open the door and looked at it, they seemed to be hesitating, after all, one hundred and thirty wen a catty is really expensive.

The car was moving very slowly, and Jiang Yuanyuan saw an old man sitting in front of the door staring at them all the time, but he was not the kind of person who was staring at the food, but looking at himself.

My guess was right.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" As she was about to walk out of the street, a woman came running, her face was a little flushed, she was very thin, she still had a silk scarf around her face, and she was holding a bag of rice in her hand, "I, I...... I want a pound of grain. ”

"Wait a minute." Jiang Yuanyuan took the bag and took the scale that was placed on the side, she opened a rice bag, took out a shovel and shoveled a spoonful and weighed it, there was not a catty, and some more were added, looking at a little more than a catty, she didn't shovel it out, so she took it down and handed it to the woman, "Don't go home directly, I suggest you walk around the road a few more times and then go back, go back and hide it." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly hugged the rice bag tightly in her arms, Jiang Yuanyuan smiled, and saw the officers and soldiers walking towards her. The officers and soldiers of Liangzhou City are of little use, the county lord Peng Qi has fallen, and the government is a corrupt official, these officials usually go around the streets a few times, some are worse, and they also charge protection money, and when something really happens, there is no one else, and now it is useless to go out and walk twice, but will be resented by these people.

After the woman left, Jiang Yuanyuan let the team continue to walk, they swayed slowly, and when they were about to reach the city gate, people came to buy food one after another.

The people in the city all have some family backgrounds, some people gritted their teeth and bought a five catty and ten catties, and more bought one or two catties, and walked out of the city gate, Jiang Yuanyuan had already sold a bag short.

"Yuanyuan, selling it so aggressively, if you see the eyeliner as you said, wouldn't you want to come back and grab it?" Lao Yang couldn't help but come over and ask, you know, it's easy to grab things.

"Naturally, I want to come over and grab it, but can I grab it?" Jiang Yuanyuan smiled, "Liangzhou City is also a big city, and the most important thing is that Liangzhou is a good place to occupy the mountains." ”

Lao Yang thought about it and found out some meanings, there are mountains, plains, rivers, and lakes in Liangzhou, which is a very rich location, and Liangzhou has raised a lot of rich businessmen because the land here raises people, and the business here is the most chaotic, so the people who can live in the city are everyone, these people, as early as the beginning of receiving the news, left Liangzhou City, but Liangzhou is their root after all, even if this place has been very extravagant for so many years, and the officials are corrupt, But this is also the foundation of a big family, everyone, the most important thing is the ancestors, the most fancy is the foundation, the news here once spread, it will definitely make those people angry, if you come again, these people will definitely not give up.

"Eh, then in that case, as long as someone comes, the food of our dart bureau will be saved!" Lao Yang stood still, his eyes widened in surprise, "Then why do we have to send some rice out for nothing?" ”

Jiang Yuanyuan smiled slyly, she turned her head slightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not sure, but if it's not serious, how could Gong Ning lend you to me." ”

"I think borrowing people is small, but borrowing this battle is real." Lao Yang held his forehead and strode to follow, "If the boss reacts that you are lying to him, he will definitely be very angry." ”

Jiang Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue: "Actually, it's not completely deceitful, you can definitely resist for two more times, you really can't resist it, hand over part of it to help the refugees at that time, I look at the dart master today, it's not stupid, but he hasn't reacted yet, and when he reacts, he will definitely hide all the rice." ”

"Alas!" Lao Yang shook his head, feeling that his face was a little painful, of course he could see that the dart owner admired Jiang Yuanyuan very much, and even if he found out that he had been deceived, he would not be too angry, but he would beat up the stupid truth at that time and then beat himself up in front of him.

They buy and sell from village to village, the village is really poor, and the people who will stand up and buy it when they walk down from a village are no more than five fingers, and they are all bought for half a catty and half a catty, for these people, even if they have a little savings at home, they will never take it out until they have to.

After selling more than a dozen villages, seeing that the time was not early, Jiang Yuanyuan asked them to follow him to his home, and when the field was expanded, a lot of rooms for workers were built, and now it is just right for these people to live, and the rice and grain do not need to be put in the cellar, and everything is arranged, Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Mofan went home from the back mountain.

The second day was also selling, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, day by day, more and more people came to buy, after walking through all the villages, Jiang Yuanyuan asked Lao Yang and them to wait at home, no need to go out.

On the seventh day, news came that the refugees had returned, but then the soldiers and horses of the imperial court came.

The momentum was surging, and a large group of people on horseback were stationed at various intersections and checkpoints in Liangzhou, blocking the mainland and preventing the refugees from going back, but it also prevented the source of food for the people of Liangzhou City.

Merchants have also left one after another, at first they could still make a little money here, but now that Liangzhou is completely blocked, they have no food source at all, if they have goods in their hands at this moment, they can sell them anyway, but the key is that the supply is broken.

Jiang Yuanyuan waited at home for a week, every day, Lao Yang would bring new news, the imperial court began to open a porridge shop at the gate of Liangzhou City, but there was too little porridge, there were too many people to drink, and there were no shops as soon as they opened every day, and the number of people in this part of Liangzhou City was not what they estimated.

The merchants came back again, and they brought a lot of rice, priced at 200 to 300 wen a catty, and flour was 1340 wen a catty, which was so expensive that everyone couldn't afford it.

Merchants refuse to reduce prices, they uphold the appearance of loving to buy but not buying, and they just set up stalls every day without making a statement.

A month later, at the end of December, a few days before the New Year's Eve, Jiang Yuanyuan publicly distributed flour in the name of the New Year, and each family could get a bag, and there were six taels in a bag for three days.

On the first day, only the people from this village and a few nearby villages heard the news, of course, there were many people among these people who wanted a few people in a family to line up and get a few more copies, but Jiang Yuanyuan asked everyone to register their names and the number of people in the village and family.

The people who came were yellow and thin, and in a month's time, they began to eat everything, the insects in the ground, the bark on the mountain, they ate everything, and in a month's time, the bottom of the mountain was eaten empty, if it weren't for the fact that there were wild beasts going up the mountainside, I am afraid that many people would continue to go up.

This bag of flour is their relief food.

On the second day, the name Jiang Yuanyuan became popular in various villages, and even Master Guo came to see Jiang Yuanyuan, Master Guo also has a cellar at home, and their family has attendants, refugees did not dare to enter, their own food supports a large number of people, and their own family is used every day to save food, but they are not willing to let these people leave.

Master Guo himself said that many of these people followed him more than ten years ago, and now let them go, and his own conscience is uneasy.

Seeing Mr. Guo and Mrs. Guo coming, Jiang Yuanyuan deliberately called them a large plate of dishes with the dried fungus, dried mushrooms and the meat of the beast that he bought, and Mr. Guo was very surprised, and after eating, he directly took out a hundred taels and said that he wanted to buy some back, Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't cry or laugh, and directly sent them a big bag.

Master Guo was very surprised by Jiang Yuanyuan's generous Shi Mi, Jiang Yuanyuan could only explain to Master Guo the purpose of doing this, and when he heard Jiang Yuanyuan say the purpose, Master Guo went back with Mrs. Guo with confidence.

said that a very important thing was missed, Jiang Qian's child stayed in Jiang Qian's belly for half a month and made a lot of trouble, and finally gave birth, she was a very cute girl, now half a month, although cute, but she can't hide her noisy nature, this time Jiang Qian was tortured so much, not to mention the meat that grew out when she was pregnant, not to mention, she became more and more emaciated, Sun Hui also boiled out dark circles, and his beard was shaven all day long, and he was haggard a lot.

Jiang Yuanyuan later went to the dart game again, returned their rice to the people in the dart game and sent a few more bags as promised, Gong Ning was very angry that Jiang Yuanyuan deceived him, but he didn't say anything about Jiang Yuanyuan in the end, just looked at Jiang Yuanyuan meaningfully, and then smiled and crushed a cup.

The new year passed, and on the first day of January, Jiang Yuanyuan stopped giving food.

Jiang Yuanyuan's name has been engraved in the hearts of everyone in Liangzhou.

On January 2, people in the city all ran to Jiang Yuanyuan to buy grain, although 120 or 30 wen a pound is expensive, but it is cheaper than 200 wen, and the flour is only 60 wen a catty, which is simply called a free gift.

More and more people come to buy food, and the food in the cellar at home is also decreasing, at this time, it is already the end of February, and this year's New Year is later, and the New Year is about to be.

Bai Xue's second birthday arrived, Jiang Yuanyuan made a big hair cake out of flour, and put Bai Xue's favorite candy on it, which was also the first solid pasta they ate in a month.

Xiao Yang would come to the house every day to deliver milk to them, he sent milk, Jiang Yuanyuan gave him food, obviously he could send more at a time, but Xiao Yang was keen to send it every day, and Jiang Yuanyuan didn't know his careful thoughts, so he didn't break it.
