Zhou Juren's wail immediately made this house a little more sad atmosphere.

Everyone was a little panicked.

Someone whispered, "This ...... Where did you get so much grain and put meat...... This...... This ......"

Someone said incredulously: "How is this possible?" Could it be a trick to set up a suspicious formation, and it is coming for us? ”

"It's meat, it's meat!" Someone shouted: "It's impossible, it's just to teach us to be unlucky in Kaifeng, so we only serve Kaifeng meat?" Nine times out of ten, all the four provinces are supplied with meat, do you know...... How much fish does this need? What is the market price of fish in the market? ”

"How many pigs do you have to kill, how many fish do you need?"

This series of questioning directly taught everyone to be silent.

If the price of rice and meat in later generations was ten to one, then in this era, the price difference between meat and rice was at least thirty times more.

The reason for this is that the meat conversion ratio in this era is low.

Therefore, meat is a real luxury, ordinary people, can not eat the New Year, small landlords, can only eat a good meal during the New Year.

Although Zhou Juren and others, they are not short of meat, but they can manage the land for a long time, how can they not know the benefits and harms?

As soon as this meat came out, it was complete despair.

Zhou Juren stood stunned in place, countless thoughts running through his mind.

Then, feeling more and more desperate, he couldn't help but say: "This is to persecute me to death, they sold us grain at a high price, but in fact, it is ...... It's harboring evil intentions, harboring evil intentions! ”

He shouted like this, and then looked at the prefect Liu Jin, his eyes were as big as lanterns, and he said angrily: "The old man understands, understands, everything understands." Fu Jun, this is simply Zhang Anshi's poisonous plan, which is deliberately inducing innocent people such as me to buy grain at a high price, in addition to that...... The students even suspected that those who lent us money were also Zhang Anshi's people. This is racking our brains to put us to death! Fujun ...... How can there ever be such a great traitor and evil person in the world, who is so deliberate, just to teach his students that such a good person is ruined? ”

After listening to Zhou Juren's words, an indescribable chill appeared in everyone's hearts.

They were all very intelligent people, and once they began to calm down and think carefully about the events of these days, they seemed to gradually understand.

I thought it was a praying mantis catching cicadas, but who knew that it was the yellow finch behind.

The current situation is that they have countless grains in their hands, and almost all of the granaries are full of rice and flour.

But...... But all their money was spent!

Not only that, but in order to buy grain on a larger scale, after all, if you want to maintain food prices, you must ensure that all food in the market must be stockpiled, so ...... He borrowed a great deal of silver, and continued to buy it.

Which family is not burdened with huge debts now?

The terrible thing is that now Zhang Anshi is still sending rice and meat to the displaced people outside, at least for a long time, as long as the Taiping Mansion is still opening a warehouse to release grain and help the people. Then they will not be able to sell a grain of grain in their hands.

But this heavy debt, not to mention the debt itself, even the interest, is enough to crush them.

This means that even if they sell all their family business, they may still owe people money.

In this way, in the blink of an eye, they may not even be able to compare with tenants, and they may not even be as good as pigs and dogs.

The prefect Liu Jin also seemed to have noticed something, he looked at these people who were mourning, and he sympathized with them in his heart, but now that it has reached this point, he is speechless.

Zhou Juren was unrelenting, looked at him deadly, and continued: "Liu Fujun, the original purchase of grain was also proposed by Liu Fujun, as for the previous things, there are some things that the students are inconvenient to say. Everyone is a reader, and some words don't have to be thorough, but there is one point, everyone is dependent on life and death, sharing honor and disgrace. ”

"Now that they have insulted us like this, and used such cunning methods, they have become the indignation of people and gods, and the people of the world, if they know that this An Shi is so vicious, everyone must condemn it. Liu Fujun, the students have no other requirements, only one, immediately return the grain, and teach them to return the grain at the original price, not a penny. ”

As soon as Zhou Juren's words came out, it seemed that all of a sudden, many people grabbed a life-saving straw.

So everyone shouted: "Yes, yes, return the grain, nothing less, please be the ruler of the house." ”

Liu Jin's face was already miserable.

He knew very well that these people were about to break their families, and at this point, they would not have any scruples.

To put it mildly, this is the outlaw, and when it comes to this, if they can't meet their request, they will do anything.

What's more, over the years, he has had a lot of contacts with these people, and in real terms, he is inseparable from these people.

At the moment, he pretended to groan, but in fact he was panicked, but he was just using a groan to cover it up.

"What if they don't retreat?" Liu Jin tried to say calmly: "This is Jinyiwei, it's Zhang Anshi!" ”

Zhou Juren's eyes were already red, and he said with all his might: "No matter who deceives me into the family business, you must pay it off!" ”

Liu Jin looked at Zhou Juren's ruthless appearance, tried to stabilize the panic in his heart, and said busily: "Wait a while, and take a look at the situation first, what will happen next, it is not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, in my opinion, it is still ...... Wait and see. ”

Obviously, Liu Jin still had a fluke.

It's just that the situation is even less optimistic than they imagined.

In the eastern part of the city, there is a supply of meat almost every day for half a month.

Even...... With sufficient food security, a group of women formed a hundred households to cook in a new way.

Recently, another batch of sugar and mung beans were supplied, so a sweet porridge with mung beans was made.

Such sweet porridge can only be supplied to children first, this thing may not be valuable in the later life, but in this era, it is definitely a bird's nest.

First of all, this white sugar is a scarce product, and taking sugar to make porridge is a tyrannical thing for ordinary people.

】

Someone else made rice noodles from 100 meters.

There are also people who make all kinds of pancakes.

Although there are not many ingredients, there are a lot of various colors.

The women are now at peace and have slowly come out of the famine. Now, a group of women have come together and have an errand, and everyone racks their brains to always come up with new tricks.

The men were divided into thousands of households and worked separately.

They dug a canal nearby.

The official road was repaired well, and on this roadbed, gravel was paved, so that the grain trucks and horses were more convenient.

The boys had textbooks, and although the paper was very poor, the books printed in ink had a smell of books that they had never smelled before. Many of these teenagers have lost their parents in the catastrophe, and now there are people who take care of their daily lives, some people give them new clothes, some people sew clothes for them, some people guarantee three meals, and some people care about their studies.

In the panic, after all this despair, suddenly there seemed to be a beam of light, and this beam of light made them suddenly realize that they could still live happily in the world.

Although their happiness, at least in the eyes of the rich and noble, is cheap, but it is only to eat and drink, but it is only able to learn a few words, but it is to be taken care of by someone around when they are sick.

But even so, for the vast majority of people here, it is actually a luxury.

Liu Jianye can already take charge of himself, sometimes the person who asks for a consultation comes, if it is just a minor illness, the two doctors let him deal with it himself.

He was always able to deal with it properly, and when he was free, he secretly read the medical books brought by the doctors.

This is the doctor placed on the bookshelf in the consultation room, and the cover reads: "The Principle of Germs", "Encyclopedia of Medicines", "Diagnostics", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" and so on.

The doctor seems to be all up to him, and sometimes he will test him.

Liu's father was in charge of working as a mason, and occasionally came to visit him, and always saved up some things that he was reluctant to eat on weekdays and stuffed them into him.

Of course, his attitude is not very good, and he always scolds him with a stiff face not to be lazy, to do things according to rules, and so on.

And Liu's father has a very loud voice, and he always teaches the people around him to hear it, which makes Liu Jianye hang his head every time, and he just wants to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The only thing that is not optimistic is the rice shop in the city.

Since the people who beat the brocade guards came, almost no one cared.

It's ridiculous that they also played all kinds of high-priced rice signs.

As a result, many people in the city who had not been affected by the disaster also went out to the left and went to receive relief just like the displaced people.

Even the guys in the rice shop ran out of the city in a puff of smoke.

So much rice, don't say it's the sky-high price now, even if the price drops ten times, I'm afraid it won't be sold.

I really don't know this kind of scene, and I think the owners of these rice shops are crazy.

Half a month later, in the courtyard of the Wang family's deep house in the west of the city, as before, the maidservant brought ginseng soup to wash the master.

It's just that the sun is on the clock, and I haven't seen any movement in the inner room.

So the maidservant crept into the inner chamber, and when she entered, she immediately let out an exclamation.

Immediately afterwards, the people from the Wang family flocked here, and some women began to cry.

But I saw that Wang Jin, the master of the Wang family, who was known as Wang Bancheng, was hanging on the beam of the house at the moment, his hair was scattered, his face was very terrifying, and he didn't know when he hanged himself, and his body was already cold.

Wang Jin has a big family and has hoarded the most grain, so naturally, he has suffered the most losses.

Overnight, all the family property was wiped out, and he was saddled with a huge debt, and even if he sold all his land and mansion, he could not pay it off.

This Wang Jin is anxious, and in despair, he simply screamed for his life.

After a short time, the prefect came in person, and after the mourning, he hurried away, and then returned to the mansion, and Zhou Juren and others came again.

Zhou Juren was already full of gray hair, with teary eyes.

He and Wang Jin are old friends, and now that Wang Jin is dead, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad.

What's more, his current situation is not much better.

"Mansion ......"

"Inside."

Liu Jin already had a premonition that the situation was serious, so he entered the house, sat down, picked up the teacup, and drank tea.

All this, done in one go, has long become a habit.

Then, he said: "This government has already checked, how can people like you be you?" To tell you the truth, the victims are countless. Now to this point, it must be ruined, this official as a parent official, can not bear to see the people under the rule of being persecuted to such a point, all dynasties, although I have also heard of all kinds of harsh government to the tiger, but have never seen the emperor's heart, when the king of the county, the emperor's relatives and relatives, actually do this despicable means, such plundering people's wealth. ”

The crowd nodded sadly.

Liu Jin said again: "Since you ...... There are more than one or two victims, and there is a possibility that the matter can be reversed. In my opinion, this matter cannot be dealt with in this government, and the only way is to enter Beijing, whether to write a book together, or to file a lawsuit, in short, everyone to go together, or to discuss the law. ”

Zhou Juren and the others frowned, looking very hesitant.

Liu Jin glanced at their faces, and understood their concerns in their hearts, so he continued: "Don't worry, over there in Luoyang, I heard that someone has left for the capital, and everyone's net worth and life are maintained here. ”

After a pause, Liu Jin continued: "Now that Luoyang has taken the lead, other prefectures and counties, I am afraid that there will also be righteous people who will go with them, Kaifeng Mansion, all the victims, will also go." You can rest assured that there are still many people in the DPRK and China who are concerned about the livelihood of the people, and I have also received some letters these days, concerned about the well-being of the people, and asking about your situation. Besides, why did someone from Luoyang Mansion enter Beijing first......"

Liu Jin's eyes were half-open and half-closed, his eyes were slightly closed, and he said meaningfully: "You must know that the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion Hu Gong has just left Luoyang, which is obviously ...... Hu Gong's instruction ......"

After hearing this, Zhou Juren seemed to sense something smelling, so he said: "What does Liu Fujun mean...... If we go to Beijing...... It's not a small momentum......"

Liu Jin said: "It's not small, this time, he Zhang Anshi is guilty of public anger, think about it, so many state capitals, so many victimized people, if not 10,000, there are thousands of people." There is no shortage of honest and outspoken people, and the officials don't believe it, my Ming Dynasty is a place where there is no royal law. ”

"Okay." Zhou Juren gritted his teeth, at the moment, only this road is more reliable.

The people behind him also whispered, and seemed to feel that they had grasped a life-saving straw.

"I'll wait here to prepare, and I'll enter Beijing tomorrow." Zhou Judao: "Now, I have to ask for justice. ”

And they took their leave.

Liu Jin said suddenly: "Wait! ”

Zhou Juren stopped, raised his eyebrows and said, "What else does the prince have to see?" ”

Liu Jin had an unclear look on his face and said, "Jing is going to enter, but you can't enter it in vain." ”

Zhou Juren showed a suspicious look on his face, and said, "What does Fujun mean ......"

Liu Jin said: "The emperor and the people rule the world together, this is because water can carry a boat and capsize a boat." If there were no people, wouldn't this court become a rootless duckweed? Therefore, the holy kings of all dynasties and dynasties all knew this truth, but if there are traitors in the court, bewitching the saints and making the saints unclear, then disaster may come. Therefore, you want to enter Beijing, but your family members can't be idle. ”

Zhou Juren listened, his eyes opened slightly, and he suddenly understood something.

The so-called co-governance of the world is that the emperor is high, and local affairs are already controlled by people like Zhou Juren.

Therefore, it is necessary not only to sue the royal court, but also to have a little movement, and to make out the scene of the people's lives being destroyed after Zhang An's disaster to the country and the people.

Only in this way can the emperor Lao Tzu listen to his words, and he will have to take care of these people who have been damaged.

So Zhou Juren nodded and said, "Zhou is taught." ”

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, if something happens to Kaifeng Mansion, this mansion will definitely start immediately, and it will be tomorrow." ”

Zhou Juren and the others made another move, and then they left.

…………

Zhou Mansion.

"Friday ......"

"Yes."

"How many years have you been with the old man?"

"The little one has been with you for thirteen years."

"In the past thirteen years, I have taught you to manage tenants, take care of the family and nursing home, and treat you well."

"The master's kindness to the little one is like a mountain......"

Zhou Juren raised his head, glanced at Friday carefully, and then said: "It's good that you know, I think at the beginning, you were just an idler, what about now?" People should know that the old man is about to enter Beijing tomorrow, where are you...... Don't you also have many friends from the three mountains and five mountains? And the people down there...... Come...... I command you. ”

This Friday he smiled, bowed forward, and listened carefully.

After Zhou Juren explained softly, he said calmly: "Don't worry, whatever you want, the government will not pursue it, and the bigger the trouble, the better." ”

On Friday, I suddenly thought of the few women I coveted on weekdays, and some fox friends and dog friends on weekdays, and patted my chest and said, "Don't worry, sir, some little things." ”

…………

A quick letter.

It was quickly sent to the palace.

Zhu Di looked at the fast play, squinted his eyes, and thought thoughtfully.

"Enter Beijing...... Sue the royal ......" Zhu Di muttered these words, then looked up at Yi Yan, and said: "Sue the royal complaint is also so blatant? ”

"Your Majesty." Yizha said: "Many of them are famous scholars, who are scholars, according to my Ming law, they can go to Beijing without a guide, but their movements are not small, and they swagger through the market along the way...... Slave ......"

Zhu Di didn't show joy or anger on his face, but said: "This relief, such a thing happened, and someone came to complain, which is understandable." What about Hu Guang, is there any news now? ”

Yizha didn't understand Zhu Di's thoughts, and said truthfully: "Duke Hu will come to Beijing in a few days." It's strange to say that in the prefecture and county where he passed, there were people in Nafu County who claimed to sue the royal court......"

Zhu Di paced, lowered his head slightly and thought about it, as if talking to himself: "Hu Guang, this lake worm, may not have the ability, and he does not have the courage, this should be just a mistake, and it is definitely impossible for Hu Guang to instigate it." ”

Yisha only laughed dryly, not knowing how to pick up the stubble.

Zhu Di remembered something, looked up at Yi Shu and said, "Zhang Qing's side, why hasn't there been any movement yet?" This brocade guard only cares about putting grain, but catching the rebellious ministers and thieves is also the top priority, why haven't you caught a single person? ”
