Overnight, the weather plummeted. Ice was formed under the eaves, grain stores were closed, and people on the streets were in a hurry, buying food with their pockets.

The price of grain has risen from 300 yuan per stone at the beginning of the year to 1,100 yuan per stone today, and there are signs of continuing to rise.

Everyone was flustered.

How can the price of food grow so fast, so fierce, so high, and many families have run out of food.

What's even more terrifying is that in September, the thieves advanced by leaps and bounds, taking down ten cities in a row, killing countless people and plundering countless people. Thousands of victims were entrapped.

The thieves in Jizhou were divided into several groups from the initial tens of thousands of people. In less than a year, it has grown to 200,000 troops, and the number of people enveloping them is as high as 500,000. Next door, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, there are as many as one million victims, like a flood that discharges floods, sweeping away all forces.

Grain!

Food has become the most scarce commodity.

Cold!

It's cold!

Cloth became the most scarce commodity after food.

The cycad walked through the streets and alleys, making sure that no one was following him, and then entered the compound.

There were a lot of people in the compound, a hundred of them, and they were standing in a military posture.

Standing in a military posture in such a cold world is a chore. But no one flinched, no one complained, and no one even lazy.

This winter, it is the happiest thing to have a place to live with a bite to eat and a thick quilt at night. It's not training, it's not standing in a military posture, they can stand it.

Inside, a group of little girls are doing needlework.

There is no need to be fine, the key is to move delicately, and the needle and thread are fine. A set of ready-to-wear garments is made by hand-sewing a stitch and a thread. I sold it in a ready-to-wear store and sold it very well. snake

"The captain is back."

Seeing the cycads, everyone got up and called the captain.

"Everybody continues to be busy." Cycad bowed his head slightly and entered the signing room.

"Captain, this is the ledger. The money on the account is already tight. "The bookkeeper turned over the books. On the ledger, it is all recorded in Dashi 123 characters, and those who have not learned it are afraid that they will not be able to understand it at all.

Cycad flipped through the account book, "Don't worry about money, the boss will solve it." I'll tell you the good news, the white porcelain that the boss asked for has finally been burned, and the first batch of goods has been shipped. Soon we will have a large amount of money in our account. ”

The bookkeeper is also a young man and a member of the team, "Now that food is so scarce, and there are wars everywhere outside, will anyone buy white porcelain?" ”

"You don't understand. Whether it is a good year or a disaster year, whether it is a peaceful year or a war, the nobles will always enjoy what they should enjoy. It's just the common people who suffer. ”

Recently, he has been reading books as well.

After knowing the words, Yuan April asked him to read books, read more books, and understand more truths.

"Will the thieves call?" The bookkeeper was worried.

Su Tie smiled, "Even if the thieves really come, the high walls of Weijun City are thick, and there is the King of Linchuan, those thieves can't become the climate." However, the following county seat may not be known. ”

The thieves are like a bamboo, coupled with the lack of food in the market, the price of food has skyrocketed, and many people have to be coerced by the thieves to survive in this cannibalistic world.

If the officers and soldiers do not suppress the thieves in time, sooner or later these thieves will attack the city of Wei County.

The palace has been slow to send a large army to suppress the thieves, and I don't know what I'm thinking.

Clinical Wang Yangding was hoarding grain, grass, cloth and herbs, and the blacksmith workshop was working twelve hours a day, making equipment and armor non-stop.

The silver money was spent like flowing water, and as a last resort, Yang Ding, the king of Linchuan, could only order to increase local exploitation.

Originally, the people's life was very difficult this year, and the palace had to increase exploitation, which made the people's grievances boiling.

"Lord Wang, if this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid there will be unspeakable things." Some strategists suggested that they hoped that Yang Ding, the king of Linchuan, would be a little sympathetic to the people under his rule, and not force the people to rebel, and force the people under his rule to the side of the thieves.

Yang Ding, the king of Linchuan, did not listen to similar suggestions at all, he was only willing to listen to how to expand the army and how to seize resources and territory at the moment. and always keep an eye on the snake's movements.

What kind of compassion for the people is not the most important thing at the moment.

Even if the government forces the people to rebel.

There are only a few ant thieves, and as soon as the army arrives, they can be extinguished in the blink of an eye. It can also take this opportunity to occupy more land, accept more tenants or field slaves, and expand the scale of private soldiers.

In private, Yang Ding, the king of Linchuan, also said, "There are benefits to a small population, there are fewer people who consume food, and the fields are vacant." ”

"But when there are fewer people, who will farm, who will pay taxes, and who will do hard labor? Without a population, how to replenish the losses of soldiers. ”

"So the population can't be too small, but it doesn't have to be too much. Mr. Gong Miao's suggestion, this king knows it in his heart. ”

"The prince's rule is all good people, why bother to force them to rebel."

"If they are truly loyal to this king, how can they rebel for a few bites."

"The prince has never been hungry, so he naturally doesn't understand that people who are hungry can do anything."

"Ridiculous! This king is after Yang Xiangong, how can he be compared with the small people of Shengdou. Mr. Gong Miao read the wrong book. If there is no other better advice, please come back, sir. ”

Linchuan Wang Yang Ding picked up a white porcelain teacup, this is a new white porcelain cup added to the palace, white as jade, very rare. It's hard to buy on the market.

The palace has only added three sets.

Mr. Gong Miao saw that the king of Linchuan served tea to send off guests, and he left with interest, and he was inevitably disappointed.

The king of Linchuan has great talent in his heart, but unfortunately he has no compassion for the people, and there is no difference between other families, and the people are regarded as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, which can be slaughtered at any time.

Bitter!

The people are suffering!

Mr. Gong Miao was full of sorrow, but he didn't know how to relieve it. Halfway through, he was stopped by someone and said that Shichiro-kun had a few questions to ask.

"Xiaguan has seen Shichiro-kun!"

"Mr. Gong Miao didn't care about Ben Gongzi's rash invitation, and Ben Gongzi was grateful. Sir, you may be seated. If you don't dislike it, you might as well play a game. ”

"Lang Jun invited, Xingsheng."

"Please!"

The two played against each other in the flower room, and the room burned warmly, as if it was spring. As everyone knows, the river is frozen, the trees are full of ice, and everyone wears thick cotton jackets, otherwise they can't resist the cold.

I don't know how many people will die of cold and starvation today.

"Huang Fen summoned Ma Hao to lead troops into Beijing and let him defend the safety of the capital, what does Mr. think of this matter?"

Yang asked.

The fact that Ma Hao led troops into the capital has spread all over the world. At this time, Ma Hao's troops were on their way to the capital.

In order to persuade Ma Hao, Huang Fen also sent people to send 5,000 stone of grain for him to chew on the road.

This move was opposed by people of insight in the world, but it could not be stopped. Because Huang Fen did not invite Ma Hao to the capital in his private name, he issued an official court document.

Ma Hao's entry into Beijing is an order from the imperial court, and no one can stop him.

Although the imperial court is rotten, at this time, the prestige of the imperial court is still there. The officials in the world are still dominated by the imperial court and the emperor.

Qi Ren's anti-bone boy, don't mention it.
