The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 496 Did God Punish Me On Purpose?

Feixue leaned over, and Li Yuanhao was taken aback: So that's what happened?

lack of food!As we learned when we first came here, there was a large area of ​​locust disasters in Baoan County, and farmers had no harvest.

Some time ago, the imperial court was urging food and payment, so that the common people had no food in their homes.

The common people had to drag their children and daughters and fled to the neighboring counties.

But the neighboring counties are not much better, either drought, waterlogging, or damage by rice planthoppers.

Even in Jiangnan County, this year's grain production has also dropped sharply. At this time, because Li Jun and some confidant ministers concealed the truth and concealed the truth, they said:

"This year, the whole area of ​​the Jingtian Dynasty has a good harvest of grain, among which Bao'an County and Jiangnan County have high-quality and high-yield, and the grain is abundant!" Li Yuanhao believed it.

At the same time, Li Jun claimed that as the lord of the three counties in Yumen, he had 40 troops guarding the border and was in urgent need of military supplies.

Therefore, Li Yuanhao issued an imperial decree to ask the court to collect extra food and pay from the farmers of the Jingtian Dynasty, which caused complaints from the common people and made the people miserable.

This time, business is so prosperous, but there is no agriculture, no agriculture is unstable, yes!The entire Bao'an County is short of food, and the entire Jingtian Dynasty is short of food.

Only the imperial court, and only dignitaries and dignitaries have food to eat. These farmers and businessmen are actually the bottom of society.

Merchants appeared to be very wealthy in business, but in the Jingtian Dynasty, the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business was implemented. The status of merchants was lower than that of farmers. Merchants were subject to many restrictions on their operations and could not let go of economic development.

This time, there was no food in Baoan County, and Huaxiang City, one of the 36 counties under its jurisdiction, was even more short of food because there were many merchants and needed a large amount of food supply.

The food in the county granary was empty, so County Magistrate Feng quickly issued a notice to order all the merchants in Huaxiang City to close their doors and go back to their hometowns to find their own way out.

Li Yuanhao, Zhao Feixue, and Liu Yunxiang felt panic, and had a premonition that an unprecedented famine was about to erupt.

Sure enough, some of the passers-by who were walking in a hurry began to faint from hunger and fell to the ground.

Li Yuanhao hurried to the bun shop in the inn to buy buns, but he came late and all the buns were sold out.

He took out a tael of gold, but the innkeeper shook his head and said: "Who wants gold now! It can't be eaten! I also want to close the door quickly and go back to the countryside for refuge!"

Zhao Feixue suddenly felt a little dizzy, Li Yuanhao quickly supported her and said, "Feixue! Are you hungry!"

"No! It's okay! I'm not hungry!" Zhao Feixue said.

"Master Liu! Hurry up and buy food everywhere in Huaxiang City! Remember! As long as you can eat it! Buy it!" Li Yuanhao said.

"Yes! Young Master!" Liu Yunxiang rode a horse and searched the entire Huaxiang City. When he came back, he only had two buns in his hand.

It was a dog's food. It was a high-ranking official's family who fed the dog with meat buns. Liu Yunxiang fought desperately with the dog and managed to snatch two buns.

"My lord! There are only these two! What should I do?" Liu Yunxiang said worriedly.

"God! Why did you treat our Jingtian Dynasty like this! Is God deliberately punishing me? If you want to punish, punish me!" Li Yuanhao was deeply desperate, and he shouted to the sky.
