Day 2

The streets and alleys resounded with the sound of gongs being struck by government soldiers.

"In all shops, the price of a pound of wood bran shall not exceed two yuan, and the price of a pound of white rice shall not exceed ......"

"If it is found, it will be sealed immediately, and all the grain will be filled into the government treasury and sold by the official!"

The voice of the yacha resounded throughout the county with the sound of gongs, and the crowd suddenly became noisy and chaotic, and one after another the common people showed happy smiles.

"The prefect should have done this a long time ago, and taught these black-hearted grain merchants a lesson."

An old farmer dressed in coarse cloth said to his companions.

"Yes, these black-hearted grain stores, the price they sell is too high, such an expensive grain price, no one can afford it at all, we don't know how many people starved to death in Cloud City, pitiful!" Another man who looked like a farmer answered the question.

"And those ruffians! Holy! He actually stole food. ”

"Oh, you light, quiet! It's not good to be heard. ”

The two crop men lowered their heads and whispered, not daring to speak loudly.

These grain merchants are all powerful people, and they can't fight against the government, so it's still easy to clean them up.

But if it really makes a big fuss, it will only be their ordinary people who will suffer.

"yes, yes, we can have a good meal for a while."

The crowd was delighted.

I secretly look forward to the price reduction of grain merchants.

However, there is not a single grain store in the entire Cloud City that has reduced the price.

Several grain shops immediately hung signs at the entrances of the stores saying that they were temporarily closed.

Then, a young figure walked out of a shop, he was wearing an ordinary long robe, but his face was very gloomy, his lips trembled slightly with anger, and his fists were clenched.

He is Li Mo.

At this time, Li Mo had successfully passed the Xiucai examination, and he was going to take the examination soon, and with his dignified talent, he couldn't buy food, and it was clear that the government had already lowered the price.

These black-hearted grain merchants actually did not reduce the price, but also increased the price.

Who would have expected such a thing!

This is simply too deceitful!

Li Mo was extremely resentful in his heart, his eyes were red and swollen, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.

"How can these people do this!"

Li Mo gritted his teeth indignantly, he really couldn't believe the injustice he had suffered.

This world is indeed cruel to the poor, but it is never like this!

Li Mo felt a flame burning in his chest, and it seemed that even his blood was boiling, and his hatred was monstrous!

"Today, I have to get justice!" Li Mo gritted his teeth and said, he turned around and prepared to walk towards the granary, since these grain shops are unwilling to reduce the price, then he will use other means to solve the food problem!

As soon as he took a step, he suddenly saw a group of government soldiers surrounding the grain store.

"What's going on?" Li Mo frowned.

The soldiers of the government moved quickly, rushed in and took out all the food in the grain shop, and then put it on the carriage, and then emptied all the silver tickets and valuable items in the store.

"What's going on?"

Li Mo was stunned, he couldn't imagine that this would happen, the official government's actions were too fast!

When it was done, it really sealed the grain stores that did not increase the price.

Li Mo remembered the anger he received in the shop, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was well sealed.

Or do practical things for readers.

The prefect of this cloud city was the champion of the last scientific examination, and Li Mo admired Bu Yunling even more in his heart.

Although the price of grain has not dropped, the people of Yuncheng are cheering.

Originally, they were worried that the grain store's refusal to reduce the price would lead to a serious famine, but the government decisively closed down these grain stores, and also sold the seized grain on the street, so that the people could buy grain with peace of mind.

Suddenly, the people's grievances were gone.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

The people of Yuncheng bowed gratefully to the soldiers who sold grain, full of tears, as if they had seen a living Bodhisattva, and were grateful to him.

In the distance, Li Mo silently watched this scene, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart: "What a good official, I only hope that I can do more good deeds in the future to accumulate good fortune in exchange for official prosperity." ”

……

"Is this the grain sold by the government? Looks even better than I've eaten before. ”

Li Mo also joined the queue, he was lucky to buy food, he looked at the bag of grain in his hand, and his heart was very happy.

The government's claim is true, and the share of these grains is sufficient.

It's a pity that everyone can only buy two catties of rice and three catties of rice bran.

This rice bran can satisfy hunger and is the cheapest food.

But this is not bad for the poor people.

Li Mo was holding the rice bran in his arms, and at this moment he made up his mind that he would work under Bu Yunling's hands and serve him.

Bu Yunling is an honest and honest official, and he is a Qingtian lord who loves the people like a son.

What is he going to do for Bu Yunling, so that Bu Yunling can see his abilities.

There are many people who think the same way as Li Mo.

Bu Yunling didn't expect that he had been in Cloud City for so long, and this time he would actually subdue the hearts of the people of Cloud City so easily.

Bu Yunling has also taken refuge in many capable people in the past few days.

Bu Yunling also specially invited Feng Yuanfang to come forward and let the Feng family army patrol in Cloud City.

Because there are not enough people in the yamen.

For fear that these grain merchants would send their own guards to snatch the grain from the common people.

You must know that there are many ruffians and hooligans in Cloud City who also listen to these gentry.

I did a lot of dirty work for them in secret.

On this day, many people lit fires in their homes and began to cook and eat.

Finally a little bit to eat.

There is finally some hope for the future.

They are silently looking forward to the grain merchants seeing the power of the government, and maybe tomorrow they will start to reduce prices.

·············

Closed house.

Gu Yunzhu drank the porridge in the bowl carefully, and now she didn't dare to dislike this white porridge at all.

She cherished and licked every grain of rice in the bowl.

It's not just because Feng Changpo and the old lady eat these things.

The price of food in Cloud City is now getting higher and higher.

Feng Yuanfang has ordered the Feng family to cut down on food and clothing for a long time.

Breakfast and dinner were white porridge.

If you don't eat it, you won't have to eat it in the future, so you just save this white porridge.

Eat one less meal a day.

Rice is eaten only at noon, but instead of white rice, sweet potato rice mixed with sweet potatoes, or mixed with some other corn.

The small snacks and snacks that Gu Yunzhu ate before are even more gone.

In this situation, some of them are very good to eat.

The people ate rice bran, not even white porridge.

Gu Yunzhu also wanted to go out to improve the food, but those restaurants were basically closed, and if they were not closed, the prices were also high to death.

The little money in Gu Yunzhu's hand was not enough for a meal.

Now a small dish in the restaurant with a serving of white rice is about the same price as her clothes.

It's her clothes, not the clothes of lowly civilians.

On this day, there is simply too little food to eat.

Don't eat a meal of hunger.

Don't talk about her, even the old lady is not a picky eater now.

Every meal is also eaten cleanly, and there is no leftovers at all.

The old lady had a little leftover rice before, and the next day the share of rice was halved.

There was only one leaf left to eat, and the next day's side dish had only three leaves.

And I won't make it back later.

That's really all there is to it.

The old lady only dared to scold Feng Yuanfang secretly with Gu Yunzhu, and she didn't dare to make a noise in front of the people in the Feng Mansion.

The Feng family does not prohibit them from going out, and they can also know a thing or two about the situation outside.

What's more, Gu Yunzhu heard that Feng Yuanfang had killed people in front of people's homes, and he didn't buy food, so you can imagine how scarce food is now.

Where does Gu Yunzhu dare to waste it now!

If you don't go out, you don't know the world is cold.

Not to mention the homeless, even the locals of Yuncheng have sold their sons and daughters.

Gu Yunzhu had to pay attention to the current situation in Cloud City at this time.

Originally, Cloud City's food was enough, but most of it was looted by the bandits of Moon Shadow Town, so Cloud City was so short of food.

Now the people of every household in Cloud City hate the mountain bandits in Moon Shadow Town one by one.

Originally, they didn't feel anything.

The defeat of the Feng family's army was just a matter of watching the excitement and the jokes.

But now, they understood the dangers of Moonshadow.

However, some smart people can still see the essence of things.

Even if these rich people have enough food in their hands, they will still increase the price, but for different reasons.

Now there is such a good reason, no need to use it in vain.

What's more, they do have a lot of things for the moon.

It's not wrong to fold the moon and carry this pot.

·········

Lunaris Town.

It's been a while since Orizuki woke up, but her injuries haven't fully recovered.

Zhiyue didn't know who killed Bai Wumeng.

But it was a knife that brought her back.

A knife is a person with a cold branch.

Zhiyue knew that it was Hanzhi who killed Bai Wumeng.

Maybe it's a frontal kill, maybe it's a victory, and a sneak attack is used.

Zhiyue doesn't like Bai Wumeng, but she is very clear about Bai Wumeng's strength.

Bai Wumeng is a strong man.

The strong don't deserve to die like this.

But she couldn't blame Hanzhi.

Because Hanzhi did it for her.

Oritsuki just memorized this matter and pretended not to know anything.

I don't want to explore the real cause of Bai Wumeng's death.

She has a lot of pots on her back, and she doesn't care about a little more, a little less.

Now the outside market, Zhiyue also knows.

She didn't want to see so many people starve to death.

If it weren't for Bu Yunling's timely action to force the grain merchants in Yuncheng to lower their prices.

Zhiyue is going to take action in person.

Although she has not recovered from her injuries, her strength has also recovered to seven percent.

With seventy percent of her strength, Zhiyue is confident that no one in Cloud City can stop her.

"Luoying, you've worked hard these days." Zhiyue said to Luoying.

"King, my subordinates don't feel bitter at all these days, and my subordinates are very happy to see Moon Shadow Town getting better little by little." Luo Ying smiled at the Orizuki.

"Thank you!"

"It is right for subordinates to do things for the king, and the king must not say this word to his subordinates." Luo Ying hurriedly said to Zhiyue.

"Yes, I know!"

"If the king has no orders, his subordinates will retreat." Luo Ying respectfully saluted to the Folding Moon.

"Well, go ahead!" Zhiyue said softly.

After Luo Ying left, only Zhiyue was left in the room.

Orizuki quietly came to Moon Shadow Town, and everything in Moon Shadow Town was beyond Orizuki's imagination.

First of all, the construction of the fortification level is very exquisite.

If Sheng Guo's army came to attack again, even if she wasn't there, the people of Moon Shadow would be able to resist them.

The second is that the residents of Lunaris are very united.

Although they are dressed very simply, they are dressed in cloth, but their uniform steps and the momentum exuded from their bodies make people feel the deterrent power.

This is the military situation.

These people actually trained into a military formation.

This made Orizuki very happy.

Lunaris has become even stronger.

And the various snacks sold on the street opened the appetite of Zhiyue.

Zhiyue bought a few side dishes and sat on the corner of the street to eat slowly, enjoying this rare cleanliness and comfort.

Zhiyue looked at the happy smiles on these people's faces, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

Her efforts are worthwhile.

She may not be able to protect the people of the world, but she will definitely protect the people of Moonshadow.

Orizuki raised her eyes to look at the street corner.

The originally bustling street suddenly quieted down, and countless people ran towards the street.

Orizuki frowned.

She got up and ran into the streets with the people.

At this time, the streets were crowded with people, and the center was surrounded by stars and moons, and some festive ceremony seemed to be being held there.

"The bridegroom is here~~~" With a sharp and high-pitched shout, a young man in a red robe rolled off his horse.

Then came another horse, a woman also dressed in red.

The two of them slowly jumped off their horses.

Amid the cheers of the people, they walked hand in hand towards the wedding banquet site side by side.

When the four of them approached, thunderous applause erupted in the surroundings.

Only then did Zhiyue realize that someone had married in Moon Shadow Town.

Zhiyue also followed the welcoming team to the main house where the ceremony was held.

Today's master of ceremonies is an old man in his fifties, the old man is slightly chubby, and his smiling face has a kind expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the happy day for Li Hao, the third son of the Li family in Yueying Town, and Zhao Caifeng, the captain of the town's guard army, to get married.

After hearing the old man recite the oath, all the people applauded one after another, and the applause was thunderous.

Zhiyue looked at Zhao Caifeng over there, Zhao Caifeng was wearing a pink wedding dress, her black and bright hair was scattered, her delicate face, her willow leaves curved eyebrows, her moist and charming eyes, and her red lips under the straight bridge of her nose were extremely charming, like a budding rose bone, which made people can't help but want to pick it.

Her figure is slender and feminine, exquisite, graceful and charming, and her smile is seductive, exuding the charm of temptation.

Although she is the captain of the guard, she kills decisively, but she is beautiful and moving.

"Good!" Li Hao exclaimed loudly.

Then he picked up Zhao Caifeng by the waist, walked through Xitai, and walked into the house.

Zhiyue was also very happy in her heart, because this woman was one of the first people to follow her.
