The shopkeeper frowned, thinking that these two people would not have no money and wanted to eat the overlord meal, and said in an unkind tone: "Yes, fifteen taels of silver, you don't want to repay the debt."

Zhao Liangdeng was angry, Nima, I didn't say that you were blackmailed by a black store, but you beat you up first, and said that I was really wronged, and I was really wronged, and I could be slaughtered as much as I wanted

Zhao Liang said with a dark face: "Man, these two dishes and two bowls of noodles are estimated to be useless for five dollars of silver, you actually dare to ask me for fifteen taels of silver, are you opening a black spot, and if you dare to slander people, I will directly report to the official and send you to the government."

The shopkeeper sneered and said, "Guest officer, you just arrived in Jiaodong City, don't you know the market at all?"

Zhao Qian also raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Hmph, why are you still bullying the living, you just arrived in Jiaodong City, do you dare to kill us like this?"

Seeing the two of them like this, the shopkeeper explained, "If you put these meals on hold until usual, you can settle the bill for three dollars of silver."

Zhao Liang said angrily: "Then you dare to charge me fifteen taels of silver"

The shopkeeper continued: "Listen to me, but this year is a disaster year, there is almost no harvest in Jiaodong County, and the price of grain is soaring, and it is usually only a bucket of noodles for dozens of dollars, do you know how much it costs now?"

Zhao Qian asked, "How much?"

The shopkeeper said staggeredly: "Say it, scare to death, you want five taels of silver a bucket, this is still priceless, there is no market, you have to queue up if you want to buy, the meat is more expensive, pork ten taels of silver a catty, beef and mutton cost twenty taels of silver a catty, the same is priceless, there is no market, you can't find a place to sell meat."

When Zhao Liang and Zhao Qian heard this, they looked at each other, but they didn't expect the disaster to be so strict

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, the shopkeeper thought that they knew their grievances, so he said proudly: "Hurry up and give money, if you don't give money, I will report to the official, and I promise you to eat a meal."

Zhao Liang knew that the shopkeeper was telling the truth, so he had to take out fifteen taels of silver from his pocket, although Zhao Liang had a huge amount of money, but he was a thrifty person in his bones, fifteen taels of silver for a meal, he still felt very painful

After receiving Zhao Liang's money, the shopkeeper's attitude immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees, his face was full of smiles, and he said flatteringly: "Guest officer, go slowly, come back next time."

Zhao Liang couldn't stop slandering, come your sister, next time you come back, you will be a fool

After eating a depressed meal, Zhao Liang and Zhao Qian were about to find an inn to stay in, and when they passed by the county office, they saw a long queue of people at the door

Zhao Liang stepped forward and found someone and asked, "What is this little brother doing, is it because the Yamen wants to release grain for disaster relief, and everyone will come to receive food?"

The man said angrily: "You think about it, it's good, the yamen doesn't come to grab your food, it's good, you still want to go to the yamen to get food, it's really a daydream."

Zhao Qian also asked: "Then what is this for, why are so many people queuing up to complain, then there is no big night to complain?"

Another person next to him said, "It's not a lawsuit, it's here to sign up for the army."

Zhao Qian couldn't help but sigh when she heard it: "Hey, I didn't expect that the Qi people would have so many hot-blooded men, if we Zhao people are also like them, why can't we defeat the Qin State."

Another person next to him said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's okay, who wants to join the army and die."

Zhao Liangqi said: "Then why are so many people lined up, they are not afraid of death"

The young man who started to speak sighed and said: "It's not for the sake of eating a living, there is a way to live, this year's drought in Jiaodong, almost all the counties are out of harvest, and every family has starved to death, and now the Yan people want to fight again, so they are conscripted everywhere, as long as they join the army, they will be given a bucket of rice, so that they can save themselves and their families, not to mention that if they become soldiers, they will have food to eat, in case they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, they can also be exempted from the family's forced labor and taxes."

The other person chimed in: "Yes, if you don't join the army, you will starve to death immediately, and there is still a possibility of survival if you join the army to fight, even if you will die in battle, it will be a matter of the future, and you can live one more day."

These words resonated with many people, and they said, "Oh, yes, yes."

Zhao Qian frowned and asked, "Doesn't the imperial court know about the situation here, and there is no grain for disaster relief?"

One of them said: "The court knows, the ghost knows, anyway, I haven't seen a grain of grain."

Another person said: "I heard that it seems that a batch of grain for disaster relief has been allocated, but it was detained by the county order Li Xian, saying that the border is in danger and should be used as military rations, we little people have never seen the county government let go of a grain of grain."

One of them waved his fist angrily and said, "This damn dog official forced us in a hurry, so he smashed his county government and asked for his dog's life."

A person next to him said: "Don't talk nonsense here, you know who Li Xian's brother-in-law is, that is the garrison general of the camp outside Jiaodong City, Wang Liao, who has him to support Li Xian, this goods dare to exploit the people so unscrupulously."

Another person sighed: "Yes, you can't buy rice noodles in this Jiaodong City, you can only go to Xianghe Rice Shop to buy it, and everyone knows that the boss behind this Xianghe Rice Shop is Li Xian."

Another person said indignantly: "Hmph, he not only monopolizes the grain, but all the meat can only be bought at Li Ji Butcher's Shop, and Li Rong, the owner of Li Ji Butcher's Shop, is Li Xian's nephew."

Zhao Liang asked, "It's so late in the day, why are you still here?"

One person replied: "Hey, we will only start to register tomorrow, and everyone will line up overnight, for fear that if you are late, you will not have a chance."

Zhao Liang saw that everyone was talking about it, and it was over, so he said to Zhao Qian: "Okay, let's go, the more I listen, the more annoyed I become, it's getting late, it's better to hurry up and stay overnight."

Zhao Qian said: "Don't you plan to take care of these things, this dog official is too bullying the people"

Zhao Liang smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "What do you want me to do, I have no power, I have no position, why should I care, do you let me kill Li Xian directly?"

Zhao Qian saw Zhao Liang pushing back like this, and said in disappointment: "Forget it, don't tell you, a selfish person who doesn't care about the life or death of the people."

Zhao Liang smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Zhao Qian to be such an unreasonable person, and his sense of justice was quite strong, which made him appreciate it very much

The two found an inn in the south of the city to stay, fortunately, the inn did not increase in price, otherwise Zhao Liang would have a pain again

Early the next morning, Zhao Liang and Zhao Qian went out to find a place to eat, and they heard many people on the street shouting, "There are dead people at the west gate, let's go over and have a look."

When Zhao Liang heard this, he also followed the flow of people on the street to the west gate

When I arrived at the west gate, I saw a person hanging on the tower of the city gate, already exhausted, with scars all over his body, and it seemed that he should have been beaten to death
