"We have sold out all the food. Boss, please bring more back this time." Shopkeeper Qian said earnestly.

The boss narrowed his eyes and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, the whole city is thinking about our food now, and the master has transferred a lot of food here. Unfortunately, I encountered some stupid thief on the way and had to let me go over to deal with it. You stay here and watch the store carefully until I bring someone back."

"Hey, okay, okay, don't worry."

After receiving the signal to evacuate, the owner of Wang's Grain Store immediately packed up his luggage and planned to leave the city with a few followers to 'transport grain'.

In order to avoid suspicion, he had to reluctantly leave most of the money and only bring a larger share than usual to buy grain.

"The silver has been sold, so there shouldn't be any problems. I'll come back to pick it up when Taixi County falls into the owner's hands in the future." The owner of Wang's Grain Store was thinking as he walked.

Nowadays, the whole city's food supply has long been cut off, and it all depends on the transportation of grain stores of several major families. The price of food has risen to 150 yuan per dou of rice, among which Wang's grain store makes the most money.

If there hadn't been a message from the owner's family to evacuate, he would have been reluctant to stop the business just like that.

There are not many places in the world today that are as wealthy as the people in Taixi County.

Taking their ID badges, they successfully passed all the levels.

When we arrived at the last checkpoint, we saw that all the things that had been transported were moved to a corner by the soldiers next to them. They called it a euphemistic name. After careful inspection, after waiting for a while, they found that the silver on their carriage had been moved away directly, and even the carriage had been moved. After leaving, the owner of Wang's Grain Store realized that something was wrong. He looked around and saw these soldiers vaguely surrounding a few of them.

"What do you mean by this? Right now, the city is completely supported by the food of our family. If the food transportation is delayed, aren't you afraid of the people in the city getting into trouble?" He pretended to be calm.

A person walked out of the corner. Ning Changrong clapped his hands and said, "As expected of the Wang family, you are still so calm at this time. The money you brought out of the city is all the hard-earned money of the people in the city, right?"

The owner of Wang's Grain Shop stood with his hands behind his hands and looked around, "Mr. Ning, what do you mean? I, Wang, make money voluntarily, and I don't force them to buy. No matter how much I earn, I, Wang, deserve it." .”

Ning Changrong suddenly couldn't help but laugh, then suddenly stopped smiling and stared at him expressionlessly, "What a voluntary person. I sent people to block various food passages and only allowed the food of you big families to be transported. Come in, control the price of food, and force the people in the city to buy your food. This is voluntary, right?"

The owner of Wang's Grain Store swallowed his saliva, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and pretended to be calm: "Mr. Ning, what do you mean, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Hmph! Take it away." Ning Changrong didn't want to say any more to this person.

The soldiers on both sides took all these people down directly.

The owner of Wang's Grain Store kept struggling, "Ning Changrong! What are you doing? I'm from Wang's family, how dare you be so unreasonable to me! I brought money to transport grain this time! If I can't buy the grain back, Lord, Everyone will find out the clues, and everyone in his family will know about it from then on, aren't you afraid that the people will have no food to buy!"

Ning Changrong shook his head with a sneer, and now he still dared to try to threaten him.

"Transporting food? I think they are preparing to evacuate. Unfortunately, you don't have this chance."

The owner of Wang's Grain Store was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning. "What nonsense are you talking about?" he asked tentatively.

"Are you talking nonsense? You know it all in your heart. Do you think I don't know about your little scheme?" Ning Changrong laughed.

The owner of Wang's Grain Store was completely stunned. He didn't expect that the plan they thought was perfect would have been seen through by the other party.

"Asshole!" he yelled angrily.

The soldier next to him immediately gave him a slap in the face without mercy, "Mr. Ning, are you allowed to scold him?!" Ning Changrong waved his hand and looked at him coldly, "Don't worry about him, pull him down and send someone to keep a close eye on him!" Come on, don't let them seek death, I want him to see how their so-called strategies are defeated by me one by one, Wang family? Thousand-year-old family? They are like grasshoppers after the autumn, they won't be able to survive for long."

Based on Chang Yuan's rejection of aristocratic families and Ning Changrong's disgust for these aristocratic families, if the new dynasty is really established, they will never allow such aristocratic families to exist independent of them.

What's more, these people are now attached to the enemy.

They only need to compromise when they need to rely on others and lack strength, but they don't need to compromise with anyone.

He quietly returned to the city and summoned Ning Daniu.

"Are you ready for what I asked you to prepare?" Ning Changrong asked.

Ning Daniu nodded, "Don't worry, Changrong. According to what they wrote on the carrier pigeon, I have arranged for people. When the time comes, there will be fires everywhere in the city. It's just thick smoke. It doesn't really burn. Wait for people outside the city." If you see the smoke here, you will think that the city has become chaotic as they planned."

"As for the clerks and stewards of the grain store, none of them ran away. They were all captured to accompany the owner of Wang's Grain Store."

Ning Changrong nodded with satisfaction, "Well done. As soon as our signal goes out, even if no one goes out over there, they will only think that there is a delay on the way. These old bastards have made so much money from the people. I thought I could escape unscathed, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?"

"I believe that after this time, the people in the city will no longer be greedy for these small gains." Ning Daniu's tone was a little heavy.

In fact, most of the people in the city can still survive, but some of them who secretly resell the food are almost borrowing money to buy food, and they can only eat four cents full to survive starvation.

If you have children at home, you can go to the soup kitchen set up by Ning Changrong at the orphanage to feed the children.

When adults make mistakes, children should not be left to bear the consequences.

It was impossible for those children to take the porridge back, they could only eat it on the spot.

"Not necessarily, but the lesson this time is enough for them to remember for a long time." Ning Changrong said.

……

"It's on fire, it's on fire! Everyone, run, it's on fire!"

"There's a fire here too! Put out the fire!"

"Is there anyone inside? It's on fire!"

According to the agreed time, people from Ning Dalai's group lit black smoke everywhere.

The city suddenly became chaotic. But in fact, if anyone went out to take a look, they would definitely find that the people shouting loudly were strong men and women who were observing everywhere. They consciously spread the news of the fire everywhere. They were all shouting "fire" on their lips, but there was no panic on their faces.

But the real people have closed their doors and are hiding in their homes. They have been warned in advance that they are not allowed to come out no matter what happens. They hear that there are fires everywhere outside.

They looked towards the window and saw no fire. There were soldiers patrolling around the street. If any people didn't listen and dared to walk around at will, they would be immediately thrown into jail.
