"Have you heard, Xingyuan Commercial Bank didn't buy grain at all, and those dozens of truckloads of rice were full of sand last time."

"No way, we've been buying it for days, if it's really sand, then where does the food come from?"

"Really, this news came from a friend of mine who works in Xingyuan Commercial Bank. The rice I sold last time was left over from the previous hoarding, and the boss didn't buy any grain."

"Impossible, if that's the case, then what should we do, we can't starve to death"

"Now many people are going to Xingyuan Commercial Bank to find the boss, and if they plan to ask what is going on, let's go too."

"Okay, let's go, let's go"

"Boss, did Xingyuan Commercial Bank buy grain, we heard that last time those bags were filled with sand, and there was no food at all."

"Boss, please come out, we want to know the truth"

"Did Xingyuan Commercial Bank buy food?"

More and more people gathered at the door of Xingyuan Commercial Bank, wanting to give the people an accurate news.

That is, does Xingyuan Commercial Bank have any food?

Are those bags filled with sand?

"Master, a lot of people came outside, and they all asked us if the bags were filled with sand."

The housekeeper looked at the impassioned people at the door, and didn't plan to pay attention to it, thinking that they would leave after a while, but he didn't expect that there would be more and more people.

There is a big look of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, which makes the housekeeper a little embarrassed.

"When you go to appease the people, you will say that the road is difficult, and it will take a while for food to arrive, so let them go to other trading houses to buy food first"

Guan Xin's eyes were shocked, he didn't expect this secret to be leaked out, and at a glance, he knew that it was done by those two people from the trading house.

In order to make money, they did not hesitate to spread rumors and make people panic, so as to take advantage of the opportunity for the people to buy their food at a high price.

When Zhong Zhen and Ouyang Yan heard the news, they were also a little confused, and they both suspected that the other party leaked the news.

Although they have this idea, they also have to be afraid of the people behind Guan Xin, which is not something they can afford to provoke.

Ancient trees towering into the sky. The vigorous branches like a dragon made waves in the cold hot wind.

Based on years of experience, Tang San dug a few holes near a barren dead grass, and then arranged a trap of his own design.

Then he found some sticks and clods of earth, plugged up some of the extra holes, and prepared some dead grass to light in the holes.

This was an ancient method, Tang San planned to use the method of smoke to force the small animals in the cave out.

"Ahem" The smoke was too big, Tang San accidentally took a puff and coughed.

Tang San's eyes kept staring at the trap, full of anticipation, and then after a moment, there was still not a single animal coming out of the hole.

A little disappointed, it seemed that there were no animals in this cave, Tang San planned to try it in another place.

Tang San found a good place, set up a trap, blocked the other holes, and then lit the dry grass and began to smoke.

"This is" Tang San was shocked, he didn't expect a pig cub to run out of the hole, this is a porcupine, with long thorns on its back.

Tang San looked around and found a branch of a tree, intending to smash it on top of the porcupine's head.

However, the porcupine's strength was too strong and broke through the trap.

Seeing this, Tang San immediately ran up, but before Tang San could run far, the porcupine was already gone.

Tang San was a little disappointed, if he caught this porcupine, he could eat it beautifully for several days.

As he spoke, he left his saliva behind, reached out and wiped it, and continued to tinker.

Tang San was about to tear down the trap and plan to change places, but a scene that made Tang San overjoyed appeared.

Just as the porcupine disappeared, a rabbit came running and planted itself in the trap, struggling desperately.

Tang San saw the opportunity and went down directly with a stick, and the rabbit howled, and then stopped.

Picking up the rabbit, Tang San smiled, then picked up the trap and went home.

Tang San, who came down the mountain, felt a little strange, at this time on weekdays, there were still many people on the mountain, why was there no one today.

"Tang San, where have you been" Dai Bai was at Tang San's door, very anxious.

"I'm going hunting, Dai Bai, what's the matter" Tang Sanhu looked at Dai Bai suspiciously.

"It's a big deal, Xingyuan Commercial Bank has no food, and now we are going to starve to death"

Just today, Dai Bai heard many people talking that Xingyuan Commercial Bank had no more food, and they were all saying that the last time he bought food was fake.

"How is that possible? We also bought food for several days" Tang San was shocked, thinking that Dai Bai was joking.

"Today, the people of Xingyuan Commercial Bank have come forward, although it is said that the grain will arrive in a few days, but we all know that this is their excuse."

"Then what should we do, if there is no food, won't we starve to death" Tang San was a little flustered, without the slightest joy of catching prey.

"What else can I do, take advantage of the fact that the food prices of the two major commercial banks have not increased now, and buy more"

After speaking, Dai Bai took Tang San to Changjing Commercial Bank with him, planning to buy more food and put it at home.

"What, fifty wen a catty, wasn't it still forty wen a catty just now?"

Just when Dai Bai and Tang San arrived, they heard the people shouting loudly.

"Just now, now is now, if it's too expensive, you can not buy it, don't block others, they really want to buy it," the next man said disdainfully.

This time, the two major trading houses were shrewd, and in order to prevent these people from looting food, they directly sent more than 20 strong men to stand aside.

staring at the people viciously, if someone dares to steal food, or form a gang to slander the merchants, they are not polite at all.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Tang San's turn, just as Tang San took out the bag to buy rice.

The subordinate suddenly changed a brand, sixty dollars a catty.

"Wasn't it still fifty wen just now" Tang San was shocked, this price was too outrageous.

"Hurry up and buy it, we won't sell it later" The subordinate did not answer Tang San, but urged.

"Buy it," Dai Bai touched Tang San with his hand.

Tang San gritted his teeth and bought twenty catties of rice, this money was his last little savings, but he didn't expect to exchange it for twenty catties of rice.

As the sun sets, there are no more people at the door of the two major trading houses.

Zhong Xiu watched this scene, touched his beard, and laughed out loud.

The grain sold by Xingyuan Commercial Bank in half a month was earned back in one day.

Zhong Xiu watched so many people come to buy food, the corners of his mouth rose, this time to see who dared to underestimate himself.

I, Zhong Xiu, am no worse than Zhong Xiu.

"How's it going?" asked Cheng.

"Boss, now the people are panicking, and the grain of the two major commercial houses is sixty yuan a catty"

"Okay, if the people come to me these days, they will say that I am not there and let them go back"

Cheng Daren is very happy, what he wants is such an effect, Cheng Daren's eyes are cold, and the last time he was embarrassed is vivid.

This time I will definitely teach this group of untouchables a lesson, and let them know how good I am to become an adult.

"Your Highness, shall we go out for a walk?"

Yun Xuan didn't know where to find a recliner, lay on it leisurely, enjoy it to the fullest, and Ah Huan squatted on the side to serve.

In the past two days, Ah Huan has been staying here in Fu Yin, very bored.

"The charming eyes of the world of flowers, Ah Huan, we have to stick to our hearts" Yun Xuan didn't even raise his eyelids.

"Your Highness, let's go for a while, okay" Ah Huan was coquettish and had nothing to do all day, which made Ah Huan feel very bored.

"I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow" Counting the time, the group of people is estimated to start protesting again.

"We want to meet adults, and please become adults"

The entrance of Lord Cheng was full of people, and they wanted to ask Lord Cheng to make decisions for them.

In just two days, the price of grain has risen from 60 yuan to 80 yuan, which makes it difficult for people who do not have a few taels of silver a month to afford to eat.

Many people have begun to borrow money from richer relatives to buy food, but in the face of such a high price of food, who dares to borrow money?

They were all poor people, and they couldn't have a few extra money, and many of them were so hungry that they couldn't even see a mouse near their houses.

"Folks, Lord Cheng is outside these days, no longer in the house, you better come back in a few days"

The subordinate stood two meters in front of the people, for fear that the people would be excited and break in.

"Big brother, did this adult go out to buy food?" asked a citizen.

Buy your head, a bunch of untouchables, and enjoy the good deeds.

The man scolded in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "We don't know about this, we won't know until Lord Cheng comes back."

When Cheng was not at home, the people sighed and left here, not forgetting to see if there was anything to eat along the way.

"Boss, the people are gone," said one of his men.

"I know" A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Lord Cheng's mouth, this is the end of offending himself.

You don't have food to eat, but I do, and it's still big fish and big meat.

Following.

There were still long queues at the gates of Changjing Commercial Bank and Debao Commercial Bank, although at this time a pound of rice cost 90 yuan, and the people had no idea.

Hungry, they no longer have the strength to curse these profiteers.

The price of grain is one a day, and the people are used to it, not to mention ninety yuan, even if it is the usual money.

As long as you have money in your hand, you will buy it, and you will not starve to death.

"Not enough" The subordinate looked at the copper money in the hand of an old man, which was not enough for a pound of food.

"My lord, I only have so much money on me, please be kind and give me some food," the old man put his hands together and sighed in a low voice.

The subordinate dug up a little grain, and estimated that it was about five taels, which was not enough for an adult to eat for a day.

"My lord, this is not enough, you can give the old decay some moldy food here"

The old man begged these people to show mercy, but the old man did not ask for this fresh food, even if it was old food, moldy food.

As long as it fills your stomach.

"Roll on, hurry up and get away, moldy food costs forty yuan a catty, you don't die, you have no money to buy food"

The subordinate pushed the old man away, with a look of disdain, and almost spat in the old man's face.

The onlookers watched the old man being humiliated like this, and their hearts were very uncomfortable.

But no one came forward, because they didn't have much money in their hands, just enough to sustain the family for a few days.

Tang San took out two pieces of money, this was the only savings he had left, and now it was only almost rice.

Sighing, his eyes dimmed, Tang San hurriedly took the rice home to cook, his wife and children were hungry.

"Childe, why don't you let me help that old man?"

Ah Huan, who went out for a walk, saw such a sad scene and planned to pay some money to the old man, so that the old man could buy some food to fill his stomach.

But Yun Xuan stretched out his hand to stop it, and Ah Huan was puzzled.

"If you can't help others, don't pity them easily. Today we bought rice for him, what about tomorrow? What about the number of people in the capital who can't afford to eat food? We can't help enough."

Seeing the old man like this, Yun Xuan didn't feel a good feeling in his heart, but Yun Xuan couldn't help the old man.

"Childe, can you solve this matter, the price of grain is too high, this is more expensive than the rice that Niangniang eats" Ah Huan begged Yun Xuan.
