Zhang Jingyi's mood is very stable.

The time for the decisive battle has come.

In fact, Zhang Jingyi at this time has also become the focus of attention.

Everyone hopes to find some information from Zhang Jingyi.

To everyone's disappointment, Zhang Jingyi's behavior was very ordinary, and as a county magistrate, he still inspected Qingpingfang and Tianqiaofang on time.

Qingpingfang has now attracted a lot of business, and one by one shops are open.

However, the vast majority of businessmen have complaints.

Now where do the people have money in their hands, and if they have money, they also pay high prices to buy grain, so except for the grain store that is not open at all, other transactions are very difficult.

Even those who have spare money in their hands to eat and drink at home are frightened by the unattainable price of food at this time, and would rather keep the money than easily buy other things.

When Zhang Jing appeared in the business district, someone would inevitably complain.

Zhang Jingyi just smiled and didn't say anything.

In the face of businessmen, officials still need to have some shelves.

Otherwise, they will not be deterred.

Mingling is not good for Zhang Jingyi.

Of course, the clerks who are responsible for attracting investment under their hands can be more modest, but they must be separated by such a layer, otherwise, they will not be able to control their proportions.

This rainstorm, in fact, exposed a lot of problems, even Qingpingfang, the street chiefs held several meetings in a row, summed up new experience, and planned to take advantage of the weather now to rectify it.

Of course, the most important thing now is Tianqiaofang, all the errands in Tianqiaofang have been replaced, and they will be taken over by the people of Qingpingfang, some of them are directly transferred by the head of the street and alley, and some are promoted by ordinary Qingpingfang scribes.

Roads, sanitation, river dredging, and public security, start with these four aspects.

Fortunately, as soon as Xinxian took over here, the people of Shuntianfu, Dongchang, and Wucheng Terracotta Division were also interested, and they would never haunt Tianqiaofang again.

Every morning, the captains of Jinyi have to exercise in the morning, and the captains under the leadership of Lu Xiangsheng shout the trumpet and run around the Tianqiaofang and Qingpingfang.

That's when people got up at the sound of the trumpet.

At first, the harsh sound and the rumbling sound of running were actually a little uncomfortable at first, but slowly, everyone got used to it.

Miraculously, with the appearance of such a training trumpet, the three sects and nine streams that originally haunted in this Tianqiao Fang disappeared all of a sudden.

People even joked that this daily morning one, two, three, or four training trumpets have the effect of suppressing evil spirits.

At present, the most difficult period has not yet passed, so the street chiefs count the poor households in their streets and alleys, and distribute some rations every day.

The price of food is so high that ordinary people find it difficult, and those poor households are even more unable to live.

Fortunately, the leaders of these streets and alleys, through various evaluations, have mastered the situation of their own streets and alleys, who has more labor, who has surplus money, they all have a number in their hearts, and the poor people can probably grasp it.

What the county government proposed was that no one should be allowed to starve to death.

Therefore, every day, I will try my best to get some old grains and miscellaneous grains to distribute.

In fact, this kind of food distribution does not cost a lot of money, but the effect is amazing.

All those who have distributed rations must sign signs in front of their doors, on the one hand, to facilitate the inspection of people in the county government and to prevent fraud.

On the other hand, once this brand is hung, it is not a decent thing after all, but anyone who has a little decent family is embarrassed to discredit himself for one or two catties of old grain and miscellaneous grains every day.

The street chiefs probably did not show favoritism, after all, they still have a future, and they are no longer the little officials who could never turn over in the past, and the street and lane chiefs are also quite competitive, and they inevitably hope that others can make some mistakes in order to compete with each other for the position in the county government in the future.

What's more, in this new county, if people really starve to death, then all other work will be done in vain.

The punishment for this kind of thing is very severe, almost ruining all the future, and all the bonuses in the entire street are canceled.

As a result, a strange landscape appeared in the entire capital, and under the background of this food skyrocket, there was a rare starvation in Xinxian County.

On the other hand, in other squares, it is said that it is unbearable to see, and even every morning, there are people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, collecting corpses in various streets and alleys in the early morning, although they dare not say that the corpses are piled up like a mountain, but this sporadic starvation to death, but it still teaches people to be afraid.

Of course, the vast majority of people are still numb.

After all, people starve to death...... In fact, it is not a particularly rare thing in the capital, not to mention this year, the year of the catastrophe, even in the past when it was peaceful, the same thing was common.

The ancients were different from the people of later generations in this matter. Later generations rarely see the death of people around them, and if they know that there are sporadic deaths in their neighborhoods, they think it is a big deal.

At this time, it is more numbness, who has not survived the winter, who has died of illness, who has starved to death, and it will not affect too much emotion.

It's probably just a sigh, and he can only shirk it until his life is not good, and he will have a good baby in the next life.

But the contrast in the new county is too strong.

In order to strictly guard against death.

The county government even directly put up a sign about the strict prevention of starvation, and made a sign to defeat hunger and zero deaths.

It has now lasted nine days, breaking the record of nine days.

As a result, the street chiefs are also crazy, for fear that this record will be broken and appear in their own streets and alleys, first touching the row of old grain and miscellaneous grains that cannot afford to eat, and then later, going door to door to check to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, so as not to break the record and appear on their own streets.

The new county seems to be creating a myth, which is very touching.

It is the entire capital that seems to be paying attention to this phenomenon in Xinxian.

It's like ...... In the past, people were used to starving to death, but Zhang Baihu told everyone that there was such a phenomenon in previous years, so is it reasonable?

As a result, the situation reversed, and the phenomenon that was reasonable in the past became unreasonable, and the phenomenon of not starving to death in Xinxian County was reasonable.

Everything is as usual with Zhang Jingyi.

This made some people who had been observing Zhang Jing's move start to mumble.

All kinds of rumors began to fly all over the sky at this time.

So on the same day, in the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, the anxious grain merchants gathered together.

They are gathering more and more often.

On the surface, everyone is silent, but in fact, it is already turbulent, and from the faces of many people, there is even a little anxiety.

In the midst of the ups and downs, Chen Moyan also unusually appeared in the hall at an inappropriate time.

In fact, now the grain merchants are looking forward to the emergence of these big grain merchants.

As soon as they saw that Chen Moyan was actually here, the atmosphere became lively again.

Chen Moyan came this time, but for the first time, he didn't hide in the corner to drink tea.

Instead, he stepped into the foreground.

When the grain merchants saw this, they immediately fell silent.

Chen Moyan glanced at everyone, and then sneered: "Yu heard that there are many rumors in the capital, saying that sweet potatoes can provide disaster relief. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a non-existent thing. It's just that some people are eager to make meritorious contributions and use auspiciousness to fool them. Sweet potatoes are really good, but this thing ...... Can we alleviate this year's food shortage? I see, not really, ridiculous! ”

All the grain merchants nodded their heads.

Chen Moyan said: "Although everyone puts their hearts down, if you are not at ease, go to the market to see, where is there still food?" If there is no food, how can the price of this food be lowered? I've been trading for so many years, and the price has risen and fallen, don't you know in my heart? ”

Wu Wenlong was one of the people mixed in, looking at Chen Moyan, who was arrogant but full of confidence to make remarks on the high platform, he was a little more determined in vain.

On the same day, after drinking tea, all the grain merchants said that they were afraid that the price of grain would rise in the future, and Guanzhong was ...... There must be no food.

Wu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned home with peace of mind.

As soon as he arrived at the house, his family stepped forward and said, "Master, the sixth grandmother is angry." ”

Wu Wenlong frowned and said, "What is she angry about?" ”

"She said the lord hadn't been in her room for many days."

Wu Wenlong said: "I know, I know." ”

said, but did not go to the back house, but involuntarily went to the study.

Sitting in the study, facing the green lamp, a handsome family poured tea for Wu Wenlong, Wu Wenlong couldn't help but stroke his back, and his eyes showed a different kind of brilliance.

This Ding squirmed and said, "Master, please use tea." ”

"Hmm." Wu Wenlong returned to his normal complexion, and seemed to feel that he had something serious to do, so he waved his hand and said, "You go down." ”

After the family retreated and took a sip of tea, Wu Wenlong picked up the pen, spread out the paper, remembered things as usual, thought about it, and wrote on the paper: "I have benefited a lot from what Chen Gong said today." Yu has been in business for 20 years, accustomed to watching the situation, and in the past few days, he is still impetuous, if he does not listen to Chen Gong's words, he is at a loss. Food prices have fallen and risen, and 100 households in Jinyiwei District can be manipulated, ridiculous, ridiculous......"

While writing, Wu Wenlong himself couldn't help laughing.

Confucianism pays attention to the three provinces of my body, although Wu Wenlong is a businessman, but also full of edification, at this time reflecting on his impetuousness in the past few days, and finally took a deep breath, as if he felt that there was still something to write, so he dipped in ink, and wrote five words in the back of the pen: "There is nothing to do today." ”

After carefully reading what he had just written, he put down his pen and got up and went to the back house to rest.

This night, Wu Wenlong slept very soundly, he dreamed that he took countless grains, in the thousands of miles of red land, with a bucket of grain, easily exchanged for a few acres of land, dreamed that the hungry people for a ration, competing to sell their children to him, dreaming that when he took out a bucket of grain to buy other people's wives and daughters, those people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him, grateful.

On the occasion of sweetness.

The dream was shattered.

He was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

Then he heard the man outside: "Master, master, come out quickly, come out and have a look." ”
