In the Longwu Army, the news of the visit of the secret agents of the West Factory,

It was like a gust of wind, spreading quickly through the streets and alleys of the locked city.

Closed city, city lord's mansion.

The old prince leaned on the soft couch and pondered the news with his eyes closed.

Yang Dong, this kid, actually wants to buy grain?

Looks like he doesn't have enough food in his hands!

He relied on free grain release and high-speed official roads, and accumulated a lot of prestige in Luozhou.

Thinking of being so eager to come here this time, and even found the Long Wu Army, it must be that there is not enough food and grass.

Think about it, so many high-speed official roads are being built at the same time, how much money can he have, and how can he buy so much food?

In the heart of the old prince, he already has his own judgment.

But he still didn't act immediately, but arranged for his spies to go around to investigate the progress of the high-speed official road.

Sure enough, everything was as he expected, and many high-speed official roads have now been completely suspended, and there is no food to distribute.

There is also a small part of the high-speed official road, although it is still under construction, but the distribution of food, but a lot less.

Many laborers are now barely able to make ends meet.

"I see, I see!"

The old prince slapped his thigh, and a flash of excitement immediately flashed on his cheeks.

"Someone come, and the king's order will be delivered at once."

"From today onwards, our palace will begin to collect grain in large quantities. The specific price is according to the ...... The market price has risen by 30%! ”

"You're keeping an eye on me! In any case, we can't let Yang Dong buy a grain from us! ”

……

Huwei Army, Barracks,

Lei Qiang heard the report of his subordinates, and a trace of excitement also flashed on his cheeks.

The old prince is so eager to collect grain, it seems that the price of this grain is definitely going to rise!

If we can't make a profit from it, wouldn't it be a big loss?

"Come on, go around collecting food immediately, the more the better!"

"This matter should be kept secret, don't let the old prince's people find out!"

"Now that our Tiger Mighty Army is not the time to tear up his face with the old prince."

Under Lei Qiang's order, the entire Huwei Army also quickly took action.

Thereupon......

Throughout the northern part of Los Angeles, there was a wave of extremely enthusiastic competition for food.

On the old prince's side, after learning that a mysterious person was also buying grain, he concluded that it was Yang Dong's handiwork.

So without saying a word, he raised the purchase price of grain again, and was eager to buy all the grain in northern Luozhou.

As a result, the entire northern part of Los Angeles once again fell into an extremely severe famine.

Even the once wealthy families are now starving.

As for the real victims, they have already embarked on the road to the south-central part of Los Angeles to work and exchange food.

Neither the old prince nor Lei Qiang knew that in the northern part of Luozhou today, in those remote mountain villages.

A large number of victims, led by their fellow villagers or relatives, embarked on the road to south-central Luoju.

I heard those fellow villagers say that in the central and southern parts of Luozhou, as long as you work, you can have enough to eat.

In addition, if the amount of food is small, there is even a lot of food left.

Over there, you don't have to worry about starvation.

Although the work is tiring, the good thing is that I have something to eat, at least I can survive.

And both men and women, young and old, can join.

So outside the sight of the old prince and Lei Qiang, the people in the north of Luozhou are fleeing from this land at an extremely terrifying speed.

Just three days later,

The price of food in the lockdown has increased fivefold!

This is still a state of short supply!

Normally, a shipment of grain can only be received at a price of 20 per cent above the market price.

Long Wujun, Shuai Tent,

Yu Xiaoyu munched on the cooking cake while muttering:

"Dad, I think it's almost time now, right?"

"If we sell all the grain in our hands, we can make five or six times as much money to say the least."

Who knew that Yu Chong shook his head slightly, and a sneer flashed on his cheeks.

"You kid, it's still too much to sink up."

"But...... Being able to worship Yang as a teacher is also a blessing for your kid. This Lord Yang Inspector, this trick is really extremely clever! ”

"In this way, our Long Wu Army suddenly grasped the initiative. If anyone wants to get food from us, it will not be so easy. ”

"By the way, those empty carriages arranged have already been transported out of Changcheng, right?"

Yu Xiaoyu bowed slightly,

"Shipped out."

"Good."

Yu nodded again, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, let's accompany the patrol envoy and play a scene."

"Don't the old prince and Lei Qiang like to store grain, let's put grain slowly!"

……

Three days later,

The price of grain in Luozhou has risen to an unbelievable level.

Even Youzhou, which is on the front line of the war, has less than one-tenth the price of food in Luozhou.

But even so, the grain price in Los Angeles still has not fallen at all.

At this moment, even those wealthy families can't help but tighten their belts and live a hard life of one meal a day.

City Lord's Mansion,

The old prince listened to the report of his subordinates, and his face was extremely ugly.

"So you want to tell this king that all the money in our hands has been spent?"

"How is this possible!"

"How can there be so much food in a flooded Luozhou?"

The subordinates drooped their heads, but they didn't even dare to breathe at the moment.

At this time, the old butler spoke.

"Lord Wang, don't panic. Nowadays, there are basically only a handful of grains on the market. ”

"Let's think of another way to get the last batch of grain in one go. In this way, we will have a win. ”

"As long as you can control the entire Luozhou, there are only a few things outside your body, why do you care?"

The old prince pondered for a moment, and then bowed slightly.

"In that case, let's take the treasures in the treasury as well."

"No matter what, we're going to take this batch of food. At that time, if Yang Dong's kid still wants to stay in Luozhou, he must buy grain from this king. ”

"If he doesn't have so much silver, he will go back where he came from!"

……

Huwei Army, Barracks,

Lei Qiang's face turned black at the moment,

"What do you say? In the lockdown, there is still food? ”

"Oh, there's only one last batch left! Or...... Forget it? This time, we took out all the inventory, even the war horses, and sold a lot. ”

Who knew that the advisers under his command opened their mouths to persuade.

"Lord Vice-Commander, we have all reached this final step now."

"Only by buying the last grain as soon as possible can we wait for Inspector Yang to send someone to negotiate."

"That makes sense!"

Lei Qiang nodded, and a heartache flashed in his eyes.

"Go, take our last batch of war horses first!"

"Remember to find someone you can trust, understand?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the people who buy our war horses are all local businessmen, and they are completely trustworthy!"
