Chapter 141
"I think you're handling it pretty well. Shen Yi said seriously: "It's true." ”
Ci Qing and Shen Yi looked at each other and smiled.
"What's the situation now?" Shen Yi asked, thinking of the two teenagers outside the city gate.
"Not so good. Ci Qing said with a solemn face: "This time the Huns came to attack, obviously they came prepared. ”
"I heard that something happened in the city this time?" Shen Yi pursed his lips and said.
Ci Qing let out a long sigh, and said helplessly in his tone: "I know." The merchants of the city brought grain into the inner city and sold it at a high price...... And the people of the outer cities were running out of food. But I really can't leave these days......"
Yu Qing's eyes showed frustration and said: "Moreover, although our soldiers have stopped the invasion of the Huns in the previous battles, our losses are even heavier...... Soldiers need to rest when they get off the battlefield, I really ...... There's no way to take care of the city. ”
"Maybe, I really ......" Ziqing wanted to speak and stopped, and the meaning of decadence was extremely obvious.
"No, you're doing a great job. Shen Yi held Ci Qing's hand and said: "There is nothing that can't be done, since it has been done, you don't have to care about right or wrong, do things according to your heart, it is the biggest victory." ”
"Do you think those profiteers are doing the right thing?" Shen Yiyi's Danfeng eyes stared straight at Ci Qing.
"How could it be, these villains who have made a fortune. Ci Qing's eyes revealed ruthlessness, although she had always been concerned about the battlefield, but the things in the city were so big, how could she not know.
The people of the city felt that they were tired from fighting, and they never bothered them with these things.
However, that time, the people had no rice to cook, and they organized to make trouble, so they only rescued a few people, how could she not know such a big thing!
These profiteers, damn it.
"You're hating. Shen Yi stared into her eyes and said, "You're angry." ”
"Yes, I want them to die. Ci Qing said calmly: "I hate these wall grasses that make a fortune the most. ”
Ci Qing said the hand on his side and clenched it tightly.
Some fragments flashed through my mind, the hungry people all over the land, the high price of food, the endless war, and the powerless soldiers......
That's right, Ci Qing has been stationed at the border with his father since he was a child, and that year there was a great drought in the Central Plains, and many people planted very little grain, and some even had no harvest.
Fertile fields are still like this, not to mention the people on the border, and the tragic situation of that year can be imagined.
What's even more odious is that the imperial court released grain at a low price, and all of it was paid by those profiteers at a low price, and then sold to the people at a high price......
There are more and more people who have no money to buy food, and those merchants are becoming more and more rampant, and there is more and more grain in the warehouse, and the price of grain is getting higher and higher.
At that time, there happened to be a traitor in the barracks, and the Huns took advantage of this opportunity to attack in a big way......
Their warriors couldn't even eat enough, how could they beat the fierce and strong Huns......
And her father, the chief general at the time, was hung on the city wall by the Huns for half a month......
"Then kill. Shen Yi lowered his eyes and said: "Those who disrupt the battlefield and distract the army, kill." ”
"Really?" Ci Qing's eyes flashed, how could her father not want to kill those profiteers at that time, but after reluctantly reporting it layer by layer, the upper authorities did not allow it, "Will the above agree?"
"Why escalate?" Shen Yi's eyes showed contempt and said: "Think about it, if officials and businessmen collude, the source of their own wealth will be cut off?"
