Even if Li Hao has tried his best, he is a person after all, not an immortal. The wild beasts on the mountain have been hunted, the wild vegetables have been dug up, and the food shortage has only been postponed for two days.

On the seventeenth day, gruel appeared again in the rice bowls in the hands of the people.

The people have encountered this situation once before, and naturally know that it is a phenomenon of food depletion. As a result, Li Hao's stability that had been maintained for more than half a month collapsed, and people fell into despair again.

Early that morning, a large group of people blocked the door of the Assassin's Mansion and shouted and cursed inside.

"What about Li Hao? Let him out! Doesn't it mean that with him, the problem of food shortage will definitely be solved? Now that we have nothing to eat, let him come out and tell us what to do! ”

"Persuade us not to stock up on grain, I think he Li Hao must have hoarded food early in the morning, and now he eats and drinks well at home, so that we can starve. Li Hao get out of here and hand over the food you have hoarded. ”

"Li Hao, you call yourself the king of Zhen'an, you are sorry for our trust."

"Get out of here and give us an explanation!"

The tsunami-like scolding continued from morning to noon, and many of them were Li Hao who came out of the ruins. Maybe human beings are so fickle, how much praise Li Hao received at the beginning, but now he will be scolded ten times more.

This time, Li Hao didn't seem to have a choice, no matter how the people outside insulted, he didn't pay attention to it, and closed the door tightly and no one was seen.

Even Li Hao, the last pillar in his heart, had already admitted defeat, and the people were completely in despair, and the riot began.

For the last bit of food, people began to snatch each other and insult the many who did it.

Liu Mao was busy leading people around to maintain law and order every day, but it was useless, and finally even a large number of members of the security team joined the team to grab food.

Eating is a desire buried in human instinct, and without food, anyone will go crazy.

Seeing that the chaos in Huixian County was worse, Cui Baitai was more happy.

"Haha, isn't Li Hao very Li Hao? What do you say that you will definitely take the people to rebuild their homes and recast the bad life of the year, and now that there is a shortage of food, it is not that you can only hide like a turtle with a shrunken head and dare not see people! ”

"Young master, without further ado, it's time for us to act!" Cui Baitai's henchman hurriedly said.

Cui Baitai raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers, after many days of forbearance, it is finally time for us to raise our eyebrows." Everyone has a drink, and then open a warehouse to sell grain! ”

"Young Master is wise!"

"Haha, in this situation, even if we sell grain at ten times the price, it is estimated that no one will object."

"I'm dying of hunger, what's the objection!"

Cui Baitai smiled: "Brothers, even if we want to raise the price, we can't just mention it randomly, so as not to give others a handle, everyone obeys my order, first sell a thousand catties of grain at an ordinary price, and then gradually increase the price under the pretext of rushing to buy." ”

"Yes!"

Li Hao, Li Ziyin, you're done!

Cui Baitai drank all the wine in the cup and said silently in his heart.

It's noon.

Wan'er quickly ran into Li Hao's room: "Young master, there has been, someone is selling grain in the city!" ”

Li Hao was stunned and got up from the recliner.

"How much?"

"A thousand catties, grab it and sell it!"

Wan'er's tone was very excited, because now the situation is still under Li Hao's control, which shows that they still have the capital to turn the tables.

"Very well, keep them in the dust! Once it exceeds three times the market price, it will return immediately, and the time for me to perform has arrived! ”

The food had appeared, and immediately it was like the smell of blood in a school of sharks, and the people were completely crazy, and the people in the city all gathered in front of the Cui family's shop, waiting for the food to be sold.

Batches of grain were put on the shelves and immediately sold out. As people continued to buy, the price of grain gradually climbed, and finally reached three times the amount stipulated by Li Hao.

Li Hao immediately rushed to the top bunk selling grain with a group of guards from Lijiazhuang, and with the content of the holy decree, he ordered Cui Ji Mizhuang to quickly lower the price.

But this time, the name of King Zhen'an is no longer good.

The shopkeeper of Cui Ji Mizhuang walked in front of Li Hao with a calm demeanor, without the slightest respect.

"Li Hao, you don't pretend to be a good person here. Where were you when there was no food in the city and everyone was hungry? Now we finally took out a little grain from Hongzhou Grain Village for everyone to eat, and you got out? What qualifications do you have to say such nice things? ”

Li Hao's face was angry.

"I am a saint who has been appointed as a disaster relief messenger, and I have never acted favoritism in accordance with the law, so be careful when you speak!"

"Fart, the one who can feed the people is a good official, we have worked so hard to transport the grain, we have the final say on how much it should be sold, how old are you? If we sell grain at a normal price, the rice in the grain farms will be snatched up, and you will be responsible for starving to death? ”

Li Hao was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say.

The boss snorted coldly: "Come on, raise the price of grain by one percent, and make a strong name for our Zhen'an King!" ”

Originally, the price of food was already three times that of normal days, and people were almost unable to afford it, but now because of Li Hao's troubles, the price of food has become higher again, which immediately attracted a group of people to scold.

Everyone is no longer thinking that Li Hao is the king of Zhen'an, only teach him to get out of the way quickly, so as not to delay them in buying grain.

Li Hao's face turned blue and purple for a while, he pushed away the people who were squeezed around him, and took out a bag of silver from his arms: "Three times is three times, give me fifty catties of rice!" ”

"He's here to grab food!" I thought that Li Hao was here to maintain food prices, but I didn't expect that he was here to grab grain from them. When the people saw Li Hao's movements, they immediately became noisy.

Countless stones came at Li Hao, and the guards of Li Jiazhuang hurriedly stepped forward to protect the master, so that Li Hao was not injured. The scene was chaotic to the extreme, Li Hao could only take advantage of the chaos to grab a bag of grain, and then fled from the grain village in embarrassment under the protection of the guards.

Seeing Li Hao's defeated appearance, the Cui family in the grain village couldn't help laughing.

Escaping from the crazy pursuit of the people, Li Hao ran into an alley with people. Although protected by the Li family's guards, Li Hao was still smashed in the head by a flowing stone.

Wan'er, who had been waiting in the alley for a long time, ran up quickly, and when she saw Li Hao injured, she was distressed and angry.

"Young Master, is it worth it for this group of mobs?" Wan'er took out a handkerchief and said distressed while wiping Li Hao's blood.

At this moment, Li Hao changed his panicked appearance and regained his usual calmness.

"It's okay, you have to act more realistically. How do you get carried away without getting hurt a little? I'm not doing this for the sake of these white-eyed wolves, I have my own plans. Look, three days at most, and I'll make them laugh! ”

Li Hao snorted coldly and led the people towards the depths of the alley.

If he had changed his usual time and was treated like this by the people he had saved, Li Hao would have left a long time ago.

However, there are so many people in the city, and most of them still remember their good things. Even for them, Li Hao had to grit his teeth and persevere, not to mention that he had more important plans to implement.

It doesn't matter if someone laughs, because soon they won't be able to laugh.
