Three days later, Wu Daotian walked to the public house of the county lord of Wei again.

"The ship that went to Taiping Mansion to buy grain has not come back yet, and even if it comes back, the Linggu that I bought back will not last for a few days......

"When are they supposed to come back?" The county lord of Wei turned a blind eye to these matters, and now, he had completely trusted Wu Daotian.

"Taiping Mansion is eight thousand miles away from Bacheng, and according to the speed of a large spirit ship, it should be back yesterday. ”

"Oh......" County Lord Wei thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I can come back today." ”

Wu Daotian is sweating in his heart!

"What?" County Lord Wei also felt that his words were a bit idiotic.

"In any case, you have to prepare for both. Wu Daotian said softly.

"What about buying grain from a prefecture or county further afield?"

"In Lanling County, there is only Taiping Mansion, the disaster is not serious, many prefectures and counties have gone to Taiping Mansion to buy grain, but the people who went to Taiping Mansion have been gone for five days and have not returned. ”

"Then what should I do? Can I ask the 'Overlord Alliance' for help, didn't they say to take over the Overlord City?"

"County Lord, do you think that the 'Bacheng Alliance' occupied Bacheng in order to feed the victims of Bacheng?"

Wei Ziyang was speechless, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was still too naïve, looking at the current attitude of the 'Bacheng League', he would never care about the life or death of the victims. But Wei Ziyang couldn't ignore it, because before, as an official of the Great Shang Dynasty, he promised to give those victims a bite to eat. For some county lords with family backgrounds, raising 30 million victims for a few months is really not a big deal. But the county lord of Wei just belongs to the category without a family background, otherwise he would not have lived so aggrieved in the overlord before. When the time comes, it will be the face of the Great Shang Dynasty that will be lost, and the 'Bacheng League' will not care about these reputations, and when it reaches the ears of the Shang Monarch, he will inevitably fall into the impression of an embarrassing responsibility.

"In fact, there is still a lot of grain and Linggu in this county, but it is in the hands of some big families, and they should have hoarded a large amount of Linggu for so many years. Wu Daotian said slowly.

"They have so much food, but they don't take it out" The county lord of Wei said angrily: "Let's go, we will go to the door to find them now, if we don't take out the grain, I will invoice and copy their homes!"

"Your Majesty is angry. Wu Daotian hurriedly persuaded: "It's not illegal for people to be shameless and shameless, so why do we have to raid their house! Moreover, the current overlord city has belonged to the 'Bacheng League'." ”

"The people and the government are short of food, but they have a lot of grain, this is the reason!" The county lord of Wei roared angrily: "I am desperate to save my life, and I want to kill them!"

Wu Daotian couldn't help but admire the courage of this county lord, and said in his heart: This overlord is currently no longer part of the Great Shang Dynasty, and your words as a county lord have no effect on the overlord at all.

"Calm down, these big clans have backers, and this backer is either a big sect, or there are people above, and they can't afford to offend any of them......" Wu Daotian calmed the angry Wei County Lord, he sighed, and then said: "Although the adults are the lords of a county, they can't do anything to them, and they haven't broken the law." If you really want to raid their homes, their backers will come to the door, and the county lord, you are stretching your neck and cutting them down! If so, no one will be able to defend your ......."

Wei Ziyang also knew that he was a little impulsive, and after a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Then what do you say? In the name of the county government, borrow grain from them?。。。。。。 ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, and then there was a burst of deflatment, and the county government had no credibility!

"I had to buy grain from them at a high price. Wu Daotian said. "There are 50,000 spirit stones in the county's books, and they have all been taken out to buy grain, and now the county government has lost a penny, so there is no money to go to the farther prefecture and county to buy grain. ”

The county lord of Wei darkened his face and did not speak.

"They hoard Juqi just to sell it at a high price in times of famine, so let's pay a high price now, and get through this section first, and wait for the caravan to buy grain to come back. Buy their grain at a low price, in case after a day or two, the disaster relief food is cut off and the people have nothing to eat, what will we do then?" Wu Daotian persuaded step by step.

"These big families really lost their conscience, and they didn't have a conscience, so they just watched the victims and starved to death. The county lord of Wei said angrily.

It stands to reason that since the 'Bacheng Alliance' has taken over Bacheng, the county lord of Wei can also completely ignore the lives of the people, but at the beginning, as an official of the Great Shang Dynasty, he promised to give those victims a way to live, so he had to solve the matter. The most important thing is that the attitude of the Great Shang State towards the overlord made the county lord of Wei feel the cattiness, and he had to work hard to prove the role of the county government in the overlord.

"My lord, there is only a saying about setting up a pot to cook rice, but there is no reason to set up a pot to cook a conscience. Wu Daotian sighed and said, "What we are doing now can only let them take advantage of less." ”

Wu Daotian has no reason to care about the life and death of the people in this overlord city, but he can't live his inner conscience. If he leaves it alone, this Wei county lord will not be able to play at all, and in this way, most of the people in this overlord city will starve to death.

In this case, he will solve the problem of the disaster victims, and also take this opportunity to attract the attention of Shang Jun, although he is a registered disciple of the Taishi, but he must not get acquainted with the merchant in this capacity, this time the handling of the crisis in the overlord city, will definitely reach Shang Jun's ears, it is an opportunity for him.

In the end, Wei Ziyang had no choice but to decide to buy grain at a high price and sell the spiritual fields in the county!

Several families in Bacheng have long coveted the spiritual fields of the government, but I don't know how many spiritual fields the government wants to sell?

So several families in Bacheng agreed that the Cao family and the Wang family would negotiate the price with the government on behalf of the government, and before that, no one was allowed to buy land privately. Wait until the price is negotiated, buy Lingtian back together, and then decide how to distribute it internally.

The two stewards of the Cao family and the Wang family found Wu Daotian to discuss buying land, and Wu Daotian said that according to the market price, 10,000 taels of gold is an acre of spiritual land, but they do not charge money, as long as grain or spiritual valley.

"So how many acres is there now?"

"It is said that there are 10,000 catties of Linggu or 10 million catties of rice, but I know that you will definitely not do it, so the old man said, 8000 catties of Linggu or 8 million catties of rice. Wu Wei said slowly.

The steward of the Wang family said in disbelief: "I heard you right, right?"

"It's better to grab it Ming, now you can't buy food even if you have money!"

"Which one is the robbery!" As soon as he said this, the household officials led by Zuo Banxia angrily faced the two stewards.

The two stewards moved away, but they also said with some self-restraint: "It's natural and fair in normal times, but now it's normal times, and now you can't buy food even if you have money......

The two stewards muttered a few words sideways, and the steward of the Cao family said: "One mu is 5,000 catties of Linggu or 5 million catties of rice, no matter how much, we won't buy it." ”

Wu Daotian looked at the two stewards, sneered and did not speak.

The two stewards thought that their various families had already made arrangements for the future, and the county government would sell Lingtian to them at this price sooner or later, so they were not in a hurry and left.
