At this time, in the Black Rock City, the eldest grandson Nianyuan gathered a lot of people to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Although these people don't know what purpose the prince who suddenly came here is calling them for, whether it is the reason that the people have not fought with the officials since ancient times, or the fact that the officials have never oppressed them on the side of the Fujian State, they have directly chosen to come.

It's just that when they came, they found that the door of the city lord's mansion was already full of dense bags, and if it was correct, it should be filled with grain.

Although they didn't know why the City Lord's Mansion had placed so much food before, when they saw this food, they still couldn't reveal a longing emotion in their hearts. Because since the war started by the Southern Tang side, the Black Rock City side has fallen into a state of embarrassment.

Although it is not yet to the point where everyone is starving, except for some wealthy merchants, there is not much food in the homes of ordinary people.

Moreover, in this kind of war, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food, after all, food is equivalent to life at this time, and where is the thing that money can measure?

After all, in the world, there is absolutely no one who wants to starve to death, but the city has been surrounded, although it is said that it is possible to escape from Black Rock City now, but once you leave the protection of the city, if you encounter the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty again, I am afraid that there is no other choice but death.

And even if they didn't encounter the enemy army on the Southern Tang side, how far could they go just by relying on their group of ordinary people? Therefore, their group naturally had no other choice but to be trapped and die in this Black Rock City.

Therefore, after seeing so much food in front of the City Lord's Mansion, their hearts naturally revealed a feeling of longing, but at this time, they didn't dare to do anything else, because they knew that if they dared to snatch this food without permission, then they might have no other possibility in the end except for a dead end.

After all, even in peacetime, if anyone dares to rob the things of the government, it is an absolute capital crime. Not to mention that now that it is wartime, food is an extremely important material, and if they dare to make a mess at this time, then I am afraid that in addition to their own death, they will directly punish their relatives, so even if they have a desire in their hearts, they can only choose to wait and see.

However, even if they chose to wait and see, they still spread the news that there was a lot of food on the side of the City Lord's Mansion, so more and more people began to converge towards the City Lord's Mansion, and in just one morning, the City Lord's Mansion had already been surrounded by some water.

Websitem.

Although the City Lord's Mansion didn't say how to deal with the grain now, their group of people were not fools after all, so they knew that since the City Lord's Mansion had taken out the grain, there must be someone to use it, and even if it didn't work, it would be distributed directly to the people.

After all, these things have not happened before, so it is naturally better to come early at this time, so as not to really distribute food at that time, because they came too late, there is no way to get it.

Looking at these people in front of the City Lord's Mansion, the eldest grandson Nianyuan Zhong stood up, and then stood directly on a high platform and said to these people who had gathered.

"Fellow villagers, I am an envoy from Changling City, and the reason why I came here from that side is to provide some assistance to the Black Rock City.

After all, now that Black Rock City has been surrounded by the Southern Tang Dynasty, if the state does not give some reinforcements, then it will definitely cause the people of Dawn to suffer, so in order to prevent these things from happening, the country specially sent me over.

And after I came, I knew that our food was already a little insufficient, and even some people had begun to starve, although there was no big problem in a short period of time, but I also knew that if we didn't deal with it as soon as possible, it would definitely have a certain impact on everyone's livelihood.

So the reason why I gathered everyone here this time is to solve the current problem for you, but now the army is also short of some supplies, so I hope to be able to exchange this food for what we need with you. ”

After listening to the words of the eldest grandson Nianyuan, the people below also began to discuss it directly, after all, they really couldn't imagine that there was anything in their hands that could be needed by the army, and the army actually had to take out food in exchange, so they began to think about it.

Of course, there are some people who will have some hesitation, and it is still a bit unbelievable to carry out this matter, normally speaking, if the army wants something from them, then it is completely possible to forcibly plunder, and there is no need to do anything in exchange, after all, extraordinary times, extraordinary methods, even if the Min State values them very much, but if they really become a factor that can affect the form of war, then the Min State will naturally not take care of them anymore.

After all, for a country, the feelings of some ordinary people are naturally not comparable to the situation of the whole country, so when faced with these trade-offs, I am afraid that everyone will understand how to do it.

Looking at the chaotic crowd below, Eldest Sun Nianyuan didn't feel any anger, after all, everyone is a human being, and the thoughts in his heart can naturally be figured out. But now after all, the time is a little urgent, so the eldest grandson Nianyuan didn't have the heart to accompany them too much, so after these people discussed for a while, the eldest grandson Nianyuan shouted directly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, folks, in fact, we don't want to exchange anything too valuable, we just hope to be able to exchange some candles or oil lamps and other things for you through these grains.

After all, even if you don't have these things, it won't have much impact on your life, but for me and our army, it is an incomparable need, so I hope that all the villagers and elders can think about it for the army, if there are any extra candles, oil lamps and other things at home, then you can directly go here to redeem them.

As for the exchange ratio, I believe we will give you a suitable ratio, if you don't have any opinions, then it's simply a pound of candles directly for two pounds of grain, a pound of lamp oil for three pounds of grain, I don't know, for such an exchange ratio, are you satisfied?"

After hearing the words of the eldest grandson Nianyuan, the hearts of those present couldn't help but be in an uproar, because this was really not an unreasonable thing for them, and it could even be said that it was completely taking care of them.

You must know that for things like candles, they are generally used by wealthy families, so ordinary people generally use things like oil lamps. And the oil lamp, which is not in life, basically every family has a lot of reserves, although their lamp oil is not too much, but at least twenty or thirty catties will still be there.

And if it is exchanged according to the proportion given by the eldest grandson Nianyuan, then each family can at least exchange eighty or ninety catties of grain, although the amount of these grains is not too much, but it can indeed answer their urgent needs to a large extent.

And as long as a family of three usually saves a little, then there is no problem in wanting to spend two or three months. So they naturally felt very happy at this moment, and as for the truth of this matter, they didn't have any doubts.

After all, it's just for some candles, lamp oil and the like, and the court won't deceive them for such a thing. And according to the style of Fujian for so many years, it has always put the safety of the people first, so it is naturally even more impossible to deceive them.

And at this moment, there are still many people who think that the reason why the City Lord's Mansion is doing this is mainly to take care of them, after all, what is the role of candles and lamp oil?

So I thought it should only be the City Lord's Mansion, and I didn't want them to get it for nothing, so I had to care about them asking for these, which was not a price. So at this time, not only did they not have any doubts, but they were also full of gratitude in their hearts, because this was completely saving their lives, and at this time, there was nothing like sending them some food, and now this so-called exchange is not much different from sending them.

Afterwards, these people shouted that they had no opinion, and some of the people quickly ran home to get candles and lamp oil after listening to the words of the eldest grandson Nianyuan, after all, although the amount of food in front of the City Lord's Mansion was also a lot, if it was distributed to the people of the entire Black Rock City, I am afraid it would be a little insufficient.

You must know that Black Rock City is a big city after all, even if there are only a few hundred thousand people, then according to the previous calculation, I am afraid that it will take close to two million catties of grain to meet their needs, so at this time, they naturally need to hurry home and then exchange the food back.

After all, Chengdu Mansion didn't say how much there was in the store, if it was really because they were late and there was no way to redeem it, it would really be a bit regretful......
