Yangtian Qianqian Yang Baozi

Chapter 238: Rumors Abound (3)
The government office said that there would be no levy and no increase in taxes, but they did not say that they would not purchase grain.In fact, that is to say, there is really no food on the front line. Because of last year, the food has decreased.The Holy Majesty didn't ask every household to provide food, so what is he worrying about?
From my point of view, the reason why the rumors have intensified this time is that some profiteers want to take advantage of the country's crisis to make a fortune.This must have nothing to do with those people who hold the rice noodles in their hands, and everyone in Baihua Town can do this, everyone knows who it is.

Now that I want you to come here, I just want everyone to help appease those in your team.You have to believe that whether it is rising prices or increasing taxes, I am my problem, and you don't need to worry about it.Those who incite rumors now have to pay some price.

Alright, I won’t tell you about these things.I'll have a discussion with you, see how it goes, I want to know your opinion.As far as I know.The front line is really out of food, and now we Haoyue people have income, everyone should understand that it is impossible to buy like you.I thought that in our warehouse, we could provide one hundred stones to the Handong Barracks.

There are also those potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn that can all satisfy one's hunger. Together, they should be able to give 250 shi.What do you think?We need Handong Barracks, and they need us too.

But I know that for what we can provide, it is insignificant.Soldiers are on the front line, defying hardships and dangers, defending our home and country.Today, there is only so much we can do.There are still our relatives there, and there are many, many people who, like us, left their hometowns in order to defend their homes and the country...

Before Su Li finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Xiuhua: "Ma'am, what do you mean, we want to provide free food to the Handong military camp?"

Everyone also nodded, wanting to know.Now that the price of goods outside is soaring, these grains can be exchanged for a lot of silver.If all these are given to the military camp, can the life of the people in their village be guaranteed?But when they think about it, the front line is also their relatives.Suddenly I was a little tangled, whether to give it or not.

"Well, that's what I mean. I will keep a part to support our entire lotus village in the coming year. Then I will save all the seeds, and send the rest to the front line."

Listening to Su Li's decision, everyone was silent.At this moment, Xiao Cui said: "I agree with my sister's approach. The soldiers in front worked harder than us, and it was also for our peace at the moment. Now they are not full, and we can do our best. It is an honor. My sister, I voluntarily eat one less meal a day, and I will be full for [-]% of the meal, and transport the saved food to the front soldiers. Although it is not much, it is also a kind of heart. I eat a few bites, and they eat more. I am a woman. , I can't help you much, the only thing you can do is this."

Xu Shi Xiaocui's words moved the hearts of everyone present.Thinking of my family members there, who were fighting for me in front of me, while I was here thinking about whether my stomach would be full, I suddenly felt panicked on my face.

"Ali, I am willing to reduce my family's food by half every year, and send the rest to the front. Even if it can make Ngawang eat more food, it will be worth it." Liu Liang glanced at his elder brother, stood up and said.Even if they don't know whether Liu Wang is still alive.But there is not only one Awang in his own family, but thousands of other families, just like them.

"Girl, all the food you sent to our family is useless this year. My family has enough to eat, so let's send it to the generals in front. In this winter, we can't eat enough and don't wear warm clothes. How can we stay at the front line?" Go down." Liu Shufan never thought that a small girl with a thin body could think of such a way, which made him admire.

"I would too!"

Looking at the people in the study room, there was no objection, Su Li knew that this time it was passed.And they will support themselves with all their strength, and at the same time, the depressed atmosphere in the village will no longer exist.

"Thank you everyone. On behalf of the soldiers in front, thank you all. Although for them, ours is a drop in the bucket. But as long as we try our best, we will not regret it." Su Li was very moved, but he was even more grateful to Xiao Cui for his presence. At this time, stand up.

"Ma'am, don't be too polite. Those soldiers are our relatives too. We should do these things. There are my elder brother, your husband-in-law, your cousin, and many people in our village."

Liu Xiuhua scratched her head in embarrassment, and suddenly turned her head, thinking of Su Li's words, she said in an instant: "Madam, you said that someone is instigating this matter, who could it be?"

Although I vaguely had the answer in my heart, I still didn't dare to speak nonsense.

"Do you think everyone in our town has so much food, and can they use this food to make a fortune?" Su Li threw the words back to them.

In the minds of everyone, a person appeared in unanimous agreement: Landlord Xiang Da!
At this time, Landlord Xiang Da was in his study at home, seeing that he had made a lot of money in the past few days, he was really happy.The price of rice noodles today is ten times that of last year.And he also restricted the sales, so that those people rushed.

Look, in just a few days of hard work, I have earned thousands of taels, haha.

"Master's trick is really good. Find some people to mix in the crowd and just say a few words, and you can earn so much money. Master is really the smartest man Xi'er has ever seen." Xiang Landlord's third concubine , Seeing the silver in the study, his eyes lit up instantly, and he rolled his eyes, and praised with a smile.

"It's just you with a sweet mouth, hehe... Master, I am in a good mood today. Whatever Xi'er wants, the master will buy for you." Landlord Xiang was very happy, looking at his concubine in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it seemed.

"Then Xi'er, thank you, master. Master, I have taken a fancy to a golden hairpin a while ago, and this winter is coming, and my clothes should be replaced with new ones. And my..."

Landlord Xiang was in a good mood, these things didn't add up to much money, so he waved his hand immediately: "As long as Xi'er wants, the master will buy it for you. Later, you go to the cashier to advance the money, and say that the master approves it."

The prefect's mansion of Lingxiao City.

When Lan Wenzhong thought of the rumors spreading around, his heart suddenly burned with anger.If the emperor knew that there were such things under his jurisdiction, he would have to kill himself.

Damn it, if you want to make money in a national disaster, it depends on what kind of national disaster it is.Now, in his own jurisdiction, he actually did such a thing openly. Isn't this holding him back?

Now the emperor is furious, if he fails, his head will fall to the ground.Damn it, you made such a show for yourself, you have to piss him off, don't you?

"Come on, send me an order. Regardless of the township, anyone who finds someone spreading rumors will be arrested. The county government of each town will vigorously investigate this matter for me. Those who take the opportunity to raise prices in grain shops will be arrested. error."
