"Do you hear me? They are not allowed to rob it, they must voluntarily agree to sell it."

"Don't worry, Master Qian, my brothers won't spoil your business."

A few thugs smiled at the shopkeeper of the grain store in front of them.

"Hurry up, things must be done in a more subtle way."

Before leaving, the money shopkeeper added, "If you dare to take the money and leave, be careful of your family."

These thugs often deal with him, some things they don't come forward to pay for these thugs to do, some people may take the silver and run away, the grain shop money shopkeeper is not distressed about the silver, but is afraid of delaying the owner's affairs, so try to find a family, so there are worries and dare not run around.

Several people even made promises before leaving, knocking on doors to buy food.

"Are you really willing to pay 30 yuan for doumi?" One family watched warily at the thug who knocked on their door.

The gangsters work together, someone is responsible for letting out the wind, preventing the people being inspected from seeing them moving around, and someone is responsible for negotiating.

"Of course," the thug took out the silver from his waist, "the real money is here, can I still lie to you?" If I really lied to you, you just shouted, and someone came to catch me immediately, what can I fool you?"

"You bought it for eighteen dollars, and you can make twelve dollars from changing hands, so why don't you buy it again? and do not suffer."

The owner of the family looked greedily at the other party's money bag, and his eyes were hesitant.

Although they can go to buy food, they only go once a few days, and it is impossible to say that they go to buy it every day.

Seeing this, the thug urged, "Do you sell it or not? If you don't sell it, I'll find someone else, and there are many people who are willing to sell, so don't you just sell me the grain first? You keep some for yourself, you don't have to work in normal times, eat less, you don't starve to death, you don't want any riches in your hands."

Seeing that this person really wanted to leave, the family hurriedly grabbed the other party, "Sell, sell, sell, I didn't say no, what are you in a hurry about, brother?" Wait for me to get the food."

In the end, greed overcame reason, leaving the whole family to eat four or five points full, and dragging out the rest and selling it to the other party.

Taking this as an example, the gangsters rang several families and received a lot of food in one night.

These people are very familiar with the alleys and alleys in the city, and they know the inspection time of the inspection team.

"Great, we didn't do anything, we made twelve dollars from changing hands, next time we buy more food, our family will go to the queue, we don't work, eat less and endure less, maybe we don't work and earn more than we work."

"Xiuniang, bring all the babies in the family when you line up next time."

"It's really a pie in the world, haha, we have saved up the money from selling grain, and someone has given us the money to buy grain a few more times. It's still cheap today, and next time they come to buy it, we'll sell it a little more expensive!"

Hearing the joyful voices from several households, the thugs sneered at the corners of their mouths.

……

"Mr. Ning, they're getting moving."

These people thought they were hiding well, but they didn't know that the patrol was also deliberately releasing water.

Ning Changrong not only didn't say slowly, "Okay, keep staring, don't let them find out."

"Yes."

Then another herald came in to report.

"Mr. Ning, there are people at the four gates where the grain is transported, they are hiding on the mountain, if they see someone transporting food at the bottom of the mountain, they will come down to stop it, if the other party has few people, they will directly rob it, if there are many people, it will only reveal the people behind them and make people change their ways."

Ning Changrong waved his hand and let people go down.

As he expected, these people let people buy out the grain in the hands of the people on the one hand, and prevent the grain from being transported to Taixi County on the other hand, so that it will not take a few days for the grain in the city to be exhausted, even if they are unwilling, they can only buy their high-priced grain, and their grain will only be sold higher and higher until the blood of everyone is drained.

And that's just part of their plan.

After packing up the official documents, Ning Changrong came to the General's Mansion.

"General, this is the person behind the grain store in the city that has been sorted out in the next few days."

Chang Yuan took it and put it down with a sneer, "Okay, it's very good, I wanted to stuff people here at the beginning, and help me govern the place in the name of it, if I really agreed, and now I encounter a plague, there are so many things they can do."

After all, there are a lot of actions to be done now.

There are several big families on the list, and the business environment in Taixi County is very good, even if they can't cooperate with Chang Yuan, they will not let go of this opportunity to make money, and every family has a store in Taixi County.

The shop that promotes a more prosperous business environment in Taixi County now wants to become a chain that chokes their throats.

"It shouldn't be long before the army comes out, right?" Chang Yuan said.

Ning Changrong nodded, "The general is right, I don't know if you still remember the two female cadres of the imperial court, Liu Yongguang and Yan Jie?"

After recalling it, he remembered who these two people were, and Chang Yuan asked, "What? Did they hear from them again?"

"That's right," Ning Changrong had only met the two of them not long ago, "and the two received a message that they were taking advantage of the food crisis in the city to incite the people to storm the city wall."

Liu Yongguang and Yan Jie are now being relocated to safe villages and towns, and do not live in the city.

"I didn't expect the imperial court to cooperate with the thief? The sons of the old emperor seem to be spineless, and in order to get rid of my enemies, even the thieves who robbed them can cooperate." Chang Yuan scoffed.

"General, I'm afraid that the Quartet has already set their sights on our piece of fat," Ning Changrong looked worried, "They didn't do it before, because they wanted us to be dragged to death by the plague, but now many people are slowly improving, and I believe that the news that the plague can be cured has spread, and so long is enough for them to confirm it."

"They won't watch us recover and recuperate, they will definitely take the opportunity to take a bite, and if necessary, they will definitely join forces to swallow us."

After a pause, Ning Changrong said again, "Although we have prepared in advance and been on guard, if the Nanchen Imperial Court also joins, we can be said to be embattled. When the time comes, if any side fails to hold it, it will suffer heavy losses."

Everyone has discussed, this plague has greatly damaged Chang Yuan's team, and it takes a period of time to recuperate, not only in terms of manpower and material resources, but also in terms of mental strength, during the plague, everyone's spirits are tense, and they need time to slow down.

But the enemy will not sit back and wait for them to recover, but will take advantage of their illness and kill them.

All the cities were stocked up on food and prepared to defend them, but no one dared to guarantee that they would be able to defend them when they were besieged on all sides.

Chang Yuan was too strong, and the gunpowder and Wang Hanting's 3,000 cavalry were both feared and greedy.
