Meng Hongmei's posture of buying grain, how is it so similar to her family's hoarding of grain!

And Meng Hongmei is now dressed in gold and silver, as if she is afraid that others will not know that she has silver, such a large amount of grain, not to go to the big grain store but to buy this kind of small grain store, no matter how you think about it!

So I slept and talked hard to my grandmother for a long time!

Mrs. Rong only listened to it and understood it halfway.

In the end, there was no way to sleep, and the little hand pointed in the direction of the house!

Mrs. Rong understood this time that her granddaughter was going to the palace.

That big thing has to be put on the back of the line!

Mrs. Rong went to the Kuang's house with sleep, and those who were familiar with the road didn't need to pass it on, so she went straight to Master Xun's yard when she slept and slept with grievances.

Master Xun sorted it out for a while, and then asked uncertainly: "Sleep is because you suspect that someone in the town is already hoarding grain, and you want me to go to the grain store to ask where the grain I bought was sent and figure out this matter?" ”

Sleepy nodded and breathed a sigh of relief!

Finally someone can figure out what she means!

Master Xun felt that this matter was very simple, so he called a little guy over and whispered a few words, and before noon, Meng Hongmei's matter was inquired about the result.

"The woman you met today is indeed stockpiling grain, since half a month ago, she has been going to the grain store every few days to buy a large amount of grain, and she has been very careful to hoard it in different places, it should be someone behind the instructions, as for the person behind it is not yet possible to find out, but according to the woman's neighbors, the woman often mingles with some soldiers, and even drinks and has fun at home."

After sleeping and listening, I suddenly thought of what some women in the village said about Meng Hongmei when I first arrived in Baizhang Village: She has a great relationship with the head of the soldiers.

Did you get some news from the soldiers?

After sleeping and thinking about it, he immediately asked: Does the master know what is going on with the increase in grain prices?

Master Xun glanced at Mrs. Rong and said, "You went to buy grain today, and you should know about the increase in grain prices, right?" ”

Mrs. Rong was wondering, so she quickly nodded and asked, "This is so good, why can't the grain be harvested and the price will rise?" As a result, the price of food in the north is almost half as expensive as in the south! ”

Master Xun hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The Zhong family took most of the grain in the hands of the farmers in Quyang Mansion at a low price and sent it to Dingzhou. ”

Mrs. Rong slowed down for a while before she understood, "What does the master mean that the Zhong family has begun to hoard military rations?" Is there really going to be a war? Didn't you say that there was a great drought in Beiyong, and it couldn't be fought for a year and a half! ”

Xun Fuzi shook his head: "It's not that Beiyong is coming, but ...... The entire border clouds and sixteen states, ready to reverse! ”

When Mrs. Rong heard this, she was so frightened that she almost fell!

Sleep but eyes widen with excitement!

She knew that Dayu's national qi was exhausted, but she didn't expect that the first to start preparing for rebellion would be the sixteen states on the border!

Border rebellion, that is equivalent to ...... Do you want to form an alliance with Beiyong?

Otherwise, once the sixteen states raise troops to the south, they will be attacked on their backs.

When I thought of this floor, I was suddenly a little confused!

Master Xun humbly helped Mrs. Rong and said: "Your Majesty has no virtue today, and it is a matter of time before the world is in turmoil, but the sixteen states have been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and the entire sixteen states add up to a total of 370,000 troops. ”

Mrs. Rong understood, and felt more and more that hoarding food was a very correct choice!

After leaving the Situation, Mrs. Rong and the Chen family and the Lu family went to the three largest grain stores in the town and bought a total of 2,500 catties of grain!

The people in the village didn't feel surprised to see the Rong family buying so much grain, after all, the Rong family's wine was made from grain.

At night, the Rong family carried all the grain and dried mountain goods up the mountain in the dark, and hid them in the treasure cave that they said they were sleeping.

After doing this, Mrs. Rong still felt unsure, and bought live chickens and ducks for a few days in a row, and also found five and a half piglets, plus various vegetable seeds and salt and sugar, to fill the three cellars.

Don't say eat those things for a year, it's enough to eat for three years!

At the end of October, I went to the town to inquire, and the price of food in the town was already as expensive as gold!

Many large families seemed to have heard the wind and began to quietly withdraw from Dingzhou to Yuezhou, Yuzhou and other places.

Sleep and follow my mother to the state of the house to deliver the goods, and I heard that the state of the house did not mean to withdraw, and Baicui Lou did not close.

After Steward Li handed over the two thousand five hundred and sixty-four taels of silver tickets to Qin Yun, he said; "From next month, the Rong family will suspend brewing, and wait for our business to continue in the spring of next year, in addition to buying food, Qin Niangzi's family should also stock up on more self-defense things, this autumn and winter, if it is not necessary, don't go around."

When he went home, he asked his mother to buy a cart of cotton cloth and medicinal herbs, and took the third brother home, and when he returned home, the men of the wooden gang and the widows employed by the Rong family all gathered in the courtyard of the Rong family.

Clearly, skyrocketing food prices have made the suffering villagers aware of the crisis.

Moreover, the courtyards of the Zhong family and the Kuang family have been built for more than half a month, and no one has come to live, and those people from other villages who want to come to Baizhang Village to settle down have not come to Baizhang Village after the autumn harvest, and it is obvious that something is indeed going to happen.

As soon as Qin Yunzhi said that he would stop brewing again, the villagers understood better.

It's not going to be a good time this autumn and winter!

The people of the Wood Gang have now built a new forest farm, and they have raised horses in the forest farm, and they are ready to wait for a few days when the mountains will freeze, and they will nest in the mountains to cut down trees and raise horses, but now they have concerns.

"Our Baizhang Village is only more than 200 miles away from the Beiyong border, if the barbarians really want to go south to grab grain or fight, our village will be in danger, and the village can't be without prime-age labor!"

"That's right! Why are we running to the death to earn money, isn't it just for the elderly, daughters-in-law and children in the family to live a good life! If the barbarians enter the village, but there are only some old and weak women and children left in the village, how can they still be alive! ”

"Otherwise, our three wooden gangs will take turns to go up the mountain to cut wood, leaving one wooden gang to guard in the village, isn't there a tiger in Qin Niangzi's house, if there are really barbarians entering the village, they can resist for a while and wait for us to go down the mountain!"

"That's right! I heard the village chief say that when they were young, the barbarians would come to the border every autumn and winter to fight the autumn wind, and those days were not the same, so don't be afraid! ”

Rong Laosan thought that this was a good idea, so he began to arrange with the men of the wooden gang that from tonight onwards, there would be people patrolling the village every day.

Sleeping is much more majestic, and a lot of small animals are sent out to patrol and serve as sentinels for the villagers!

In this way, in a tense atmosphere, the time slowly entered November, and the whole Dingzhou ushered in the first snow.

It was a night of white city!

When the little ginseng is in the dark, he will fall asleep in the cold winter, and he has no chance to see such a big scene, and as soon as he hears that it is snowing heavily, he puts on a thick rabbit fur jacket and snakeskin boots and runs leisurely into the yard!

As soon as I opened the door, I hit my head on a pair of legs!

Sleepy looked up, saw a familiar face, and stars almost appeared under his eyes, and immediately stretched out his hand and said clearly: "Brother!" Hug! ”
