What Li Zisheng saw was those "remnants of rice thieves"!

After a turmoil, the entire slum was turned over by the soldiers of the Iron Family, but there were still some children, women and children who were separated from their families because of the turmoil. They didn't dare to go back to their original home, so they could only find a way to spend a few days by the Xuanhe River. To be able to survive until now, it is already considered capable and lucky.

The well-informed Uncle Nine knew about these things, and he sued his young owner in every fifteen and ten places.

When the pale-faced young man saw his "scholar", Peng Chuanshi ...... Now he is called Shi Kangdang, and he is already sitting in the room, still wearing that big cotton robe and drinking hot porridge.

Except for the dirty cotton robe and the thinner face, the child's spirit didn't seem to be much worse. It was Du Jianghang, who was standing next to him, and the shopkeeper Du looked at this little scholar with a toothache expression.

He saw his young boss walk in, and pulled Li Zisheng to the back room regardless of politeness, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, do you know who he is?"

The young master of the Li family came back to his senses a little at this time, raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper Du with clear eyes, and said without hesitation: "This is the scholar that my father bought for me on the road." I know him, his name is Shi Dangdang. ”

Shopkeeper Du gasped, lowered his voice and continued to ask, "Did the old man mention his identity to you?"

The boy pretended to think for a while, shook his head and said, "Not really. Uncle Du, isn't he just a scholar? What ...... can a child have?"

Just then, a fellow rushed in and shouted, "Shopkeeper...... Shao Dong, someone is smashing the door panel!"

Du Jianghang's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Aren't there soldiers of the Tie family in front of the door? Why are there people smashing the shop again?"

The fellow replied, "It's not a food grabber...... Someone fainted at the door and begged us for a bowl of hot water!"

Li Zisheng took the opportunity and said, "I'll go to the front and have a look." As he spoke, he ignored the obstruction of the shopkeeper Du, and ran to the storefront on the street with a smoke, looking out through the gap in the door panel. Rao was bold, and he was also startled at this time.

It turned out that this grain store street was already crowded with people. There was a circle of people in front of his own shop, and through the gap between the people's legs, the sharp-eyed young man saw a white old man lying on the ground. There were also a few Iron Family soldiers wearing Iron Family uniforms next to him, who were powerless to maintain order.

A tall, but scrawny young man, despite the soldiers' obstructions, stepped forward and knocked on the door with a loud bang. At the same time, he also shouted at the top of his voice: "Shopkeeper, it's good." Give the bowl hot water!"

At this time, the shopkeeper Du Da finally dragged his injured leg, and limped over with the support of the guy, and hurriedly lowered his voice when he saw this: "Young owner, come back quickly, come back quickly." ”

The young man's body didn't move, but turned around and said, "Uncle Du, let's bring in the people from outside and give a bowl of hot porridge." ”

"No, no. Du Jianghang waved his hand again and again.

Li Zisheng pointed to the slamming door panel, and said sternly: "Uncle Du, at this time, if we don't open the door, it will only make the people outside more anxious, it's better to open the door and let people in, and settle down!"

"This ......"

The boy didn't care about Du Jianghang, but directly turned his head to give orders to the guys, and the guys looked at each other a few times, and saw that the shopkeeper Du didn't come up to stop him, so he came up and removed the door panel according to the boy's instructions.

I could only hear a burst of joy outside, "It's open!"

Li Zisheng's body was small and flexible, so he jumped out of the door panel. One of the few soldiers of the Iron Family who maintained order outside greeted the young man in surprise: "Young Master Li, is this your family's business?"

The young man looked at the soldier a few times and felt a little familiar, so he hesitated and said, "Are you ......?"

The soldier put the short wooden stick in his hand into his waist, straightened his clothes, and made a big bow to Li Zisheng respectfully, saying: "Engong is above, I am blessed with a big tiger!"

Only then did Li Engong remember that the person in front of him was one of the several soldiers he had saved in the battle with the rice thief. And it is the least injured, but the most critical one. It turned out that this Zhu Dahu was hit hard in the head, fainted in the pile, and was buried at the bottom. It was also his fate, if the boy hadn't turned him out at that time, he might have suffocated to death in a few moments.

Because of this, he was the fastest of these wounded soldiers. However, the cavalry to which he belonged could be called annihilated, not only did their commander Tie Qianzhu Shisanlang think about it behind closed doors, but the "two" cavalry was also abolished. So Zhu Dahu became a "security army" and was sent here to maintain order in the grain street.

Li Zisheng picked up Zhu Dahu and said, "Brother Zhu, don't be polite." Seeing that Brother Zhu was safe and sound, the kid was also happy in his heart. But...... Let's carry this old man into the store and warm him up. ”

While the two were talking, the guy had removed two door panels, just the size of an adult. So under the command of Zhu Dahu, the guys and the big man who knocked on the door carried the fainted old man into the store, and it turned out that the old man who fainted was the father of the big man.

Nazhu Dahu also said hello to his companion and entered the Li family shop. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone poured hot porridge on the old man to rescue, Li Zisheng asked the shopkeeper Du, "Uncle Du, why are there so many people outside the door?"

Du Jianghang smiled bitterly: "It's not that the Jingnan Grain Association has issued a sales restriction order, for example, our shop can only buy 500 catties a day." But today is really evil, there were people queuing up a few days ago, but there were not as many people as today. ”

The young man's heart moved, and he naturally asked without thinking too much: "Then these people don't make trouble?"

Zhu Dahu next to him interjected: "Young Master Li, you don't know." Ten days ago, those who made a lot of trouble...... The rice thief is a man who has been killed. Now they are all workers in the serious blacksmith's workshop, receiving their wages every day, and they always have something to eat, so where can they make trouble?"

This time it was completely different from the last riot, this time the people had money but could not buy food, and last time the poor people had no money to buy food.

Li Zisheng turned his head to look at Zhu Dahu and asked, "Then your master's family won't come out to take care of it?"

Zhu Dahu spread his hands and said helplessly: "Who will take care of it? How to manage it? Will the forced grain sell the grain?"

When the young man heard this, a cloud of doubt suddenly appeared in his heart, this thing tasted wrong. Li Zisheng somehow always felt that the Tie family was absolutely inseparable from these things, and they shouldn't be so passive at all.

If the Tie family and Jingnan Grain Association joined forces to use this grain to earn a vote, then it would make sense......

No, it can't be that simple!

At this time, the fainted old man had woken up slowly, he knew the cause and effect, and learned the identity of Li Zisheng from the man's mouth, so he pulled his son to the contemplative young man, pounced, and the two fell to the ground and knocked their heads a few times.

This interrupted Li Zisheng's train of thought, and he hurriedly leaned down to pull the old man up.

The father and son, surnamed Zhang, were both workers in the Tiejia workshop. This old man looks like he is about to die, but he is actually only in his early forties. A few years ago, he was sick and could no longer work, so he called his second son from the countryside to the city to inherit his father's business.

The young man helped the two of them up and asked politely, "You don't have to be so polite, the kid has some questions for the two of you." I don't know if it's possible?"

"Little Engong, please say, my father and son must know everything. ”

Li Zisheng smiled at them and asked, "Are there all workers in the blacksmith shop outside the door?"

Both father and son nodded.

"Then why are you all here today to buy food?"

Second Brother Zhang replied weakly: "I heard that the price of this grain is going to rise, and the shopkeeper was kind and gave us an advance of three months' wages, so we all came here to sell grain after work." ”

There is such a kind shopkeeper?! Although the boy is young, he really still doesn't believe this statement. But this situation is full of speculation in my head.

Li Zisheng opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Zhang, can you let me see the money that the owner of your bank gave you?"

"Why not, second son. Take out the ticket and show it to Xiao Engong. ”

Li Zisheng took the tickets from Second Brother Zhang's hand, looked through them hastily and asked, "Don't you have five baht coins for Xuantie?"

"Nope. It's all these tickets. ”

When the young man heard this, there was a contemplative expression on his face, and then he slapped his forehead suddenly, stuffed those hall tickets into Second Brother Zhang's hand, said thank you in his mouth, turned around and walked quickly to the side of the shopkeeper Du, and said sternly: "Uncle Du, I have something to tell you!" Without waiting for Uncle Du to agree, he stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve and walked towards the inner room.

Du Jianghang looked at the young man strangely, unable to understand what his young owner was trying to say, so he had to follow Li Zisheng into the inner room.

At this time, the restaurant on the second floor of the Star Picking Building was full of wine and the leftovers of the banquet were gone. The crowd had already whispered across the table.

The president of the Chengcheng family stood up, held the wine glass, and raised his voice: "Colleagues, the old man just said that this third glass of wine should be bought. ”

He paused, looked around at everyone, and naturally exuded the coercion of an innate true person, and said proudly: "Now, this president wants to announce a resolution, which is also a joint decision of us members of the grain association. That is, starting tomorrow, all grain stores, shops, and shops under the members of our Grain Association will refuse to accept the food stamps of Tiantongmen! From now on, this Jingnan will only circulate the hall tickets of my Jingnan Grain Association!!"

President Cheng raised his glass and said loudly: "This cup of wine wishes our Jingnan Grain Association to dominate Jingnan, and it will not be easy for eternity!"

He threw his head up and drank it all.

This time, the people below were not as face-saving as the previous two times, and there was an uproar, and all the people present were wealthy businessmen with huge net worth. These people have also been mentally prepared for a long time, and they can't help but feel shocked when they hear such sensational news.

Strictly speaking, Li Zhaochang can only be regarded as a peripheral member of the grain association, and when he heard this, he suddenly realized that he had taken up the events of the last few months.

In October, the Yunmengze Revolution not only caused the harvest of the farmland by the lake, but also caused a strange phenomenon in the southeast of Jingzhou, which greatly affected the local agricultural production, especially the late rice harvested in late October.

Since November, people affected by the disaster have gradually concentrated in Tieshan City. Food prices in the city began to rise, and by the end of the year they had risen as high as three times as high as in previous years. Because Jingnan Grain Association was the only grain merchant in the market with a large amount of grain, it not only withdrew most of the bank's tickets, but also ate a lot of depreciated Tiantongmen grain stamps. Some of these food stamps immediately flowed into Yangzhou to buy grain, raising local grain prices.

Around the Chinese New Year, there were "water bandits" in Yunmengze, and the transportation of bulk goods from Yangzhou to Jingzhou came to a halt. Food prices continue to rise. Tiantongmen could only temporarily close down because there was no food to redeem, and the food stamps fell wildly for a while. Many people had to take out the food stamps in their hands to exchange them at a high price for the food hall tickets that were not in circulation in the market, and then go to their counters to buy food.

In mid-January, during the Iron Mountain Rebellion, the poor people stormed the grain shops on the grain street. After being pacified by the Tie family, grain prices soared again, reaching the highest price fifteen times that of previous years. The Jingnan Grain Association began to restrict sales, giving priority to the redemption of Huàn Grain Store tickets, and continued to suppress grain stamps. Most of the food stamps circulating in the local market have flowed into the hands of the Jingnan Grain Association.

On January 25, the Jingnan Grain Association officially announced that all its subordinate commercial banks would stop accepting food stamps.

The truth is now revealed!

And the most unbelievable and acceptable fact is that in fact, Jingzhou was not short of food at all during this time. At least according to Li Zhaochang's knowledge, the rest of Jingzhou has not been greatly affected, but it is a little worse than in previous years. Why the food there didn't arrive in time was not something he could know.

And where the reserve grain of the Grain Association went, he didn't even want to think about it.

Looking at it this way, there is no strong group behind this whole thing, and he doesn't believe it if he kills Boss Li.

However, he was still a little unsure, could it be that the loose association of these local merchants in Jingnan in the grain club could really fight the Tiantong Gate in the Eight Heavenly Gate, which had already held the Kyushu ticket industry?

At this time, a man dressed as a steward in a green coat and a small hat ran up from downstairs, hurriedly ran to the president of the Cheng Assembly, approached him and muttered a few words.

The faces of the family sank, and they were not angry and arrogant. He turned his head sharply, and his eyes looked at Li Zhaochang, the proprietor of Yishun Hall!

This is exactly what it is:

The north wind is cold and snowy,

The remnants of the wildfire are swaying.

The high roller does not hear the people crying,

The garden is full of spring and listens to the jade flute.

Don't cry out in hell,

But it is the jackal laughing in the world.

Why do you want to shed tears and sacrifice to the souls of wronged?

I raised my eyebrows and unsheathed my sword.
