Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 163 Close the door and put some food

The banquet continued in silence for a while, and Luo Yan took people out of the restaurant holding back his anger.With the flattering smile on the face of the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Luo Yan glanced back at the private room where the gentry gathered just now, and said inwardly, "Damn, just wait for me."

The originally good mood was ruined by these people for no reason.He also thought about taking a group of subordinates without getting drunk or returning home, and now they are cold, how can they be drunk.

These people are so arrogant, since they all say that this treasury is their own treasury, then they should also turn their treasury into Lantian's treasury.Now Lantian County has a lot of food, but the money is really not enough.

Turning to the hesitant subordinates, Luo Yan said: "Remember what you heard today. When did I become a pawn of these cunning people. I don't care how you waited for them before. Now For three months, I cut off all contact with them. If you don’t give them some flair, you don’t know how powerful I am Luo.”

These words made many people feel ashamed.In normal times, they and these squires are so dirty, so this person knows it well.However, these guys are too crazy today.Since this person asked to temporarily cut off contact in the future, it would be considered a good effort to remind him later.

Under the setting sun, Luo Yan's shadow grew taller and taller, but he was farther and farther away from these officials who were still thinking.That night, the doors of several mansions were opened, and some servants quietly went to the homes of the gentry in the county to deliver letters.

But Luo Yan didn't know these things at all.Even if they knew it, they would just smile and not talk much.

Early the next morning, Luo Yan rubbed his eyes, called the chief bookkeeper Liu Zongshen, and handed him a document.

Looking at the doubts on Liu Yi's face, Luo Yan said, "Let's let Chen Yuru take care of the construction of water conservancy projects first. Anyway, you have put things on the right track these days, and you will be credited for it at that time." Yes. Now there is a major event for the people of Lantian that you need to do, and you must let the people of Lantian know."

Liu Zongshen was also very excited to see Luo Yan promised that he would get two credits.Supervising the construction of water conservancy is a hard job. It would be better if it was easier.

Opening the document, Luo Yan's special handwriting was connected into a few sentences, telling him very clearly that this matter is really not a hard job - to deliver food.

It doesn't mean that the food release means that the food is given to the people for free.

Since the theory of the severity of the pipe, there has been a liquidation method.In good years, the harvest is expensive, and in bad years, it is sold cheap, so as to adjust the price of grain.It has been several days since Li Shimin issued the edict to allow the distribution of grain, but Luo Yan has not made any major moves, and these days the county is either repairing water conservancy or building grass sheds, and everyone has forgotten about it.

Seeing the happy expression on Liu Zongshen's face, Luo Yan said: "Don't be too happy too early. You can deal with the distribution of grain, but the price is determined by me at any time. When to release grain and when to stop, you can also listen to me." You and Song Zhen, just keep order. Remember?"

When Luo Yan said this, Liu Zongshen's expression turned bitter.Originally thought that the fat difference of food distribution, no matter how you say, you can also make a fortune.Unexpectedly, with Luo Yan's actions like this, he would become a dedicated offender.

But he is the boss, so he can do what he says.If you offend someone, you will offend him. Anyway, in the end, he will take care of you.Liu Zongshen had no choice but to accept the order.

Seeing that Liu Zongshen had accepted this task, Luo Yan said, "Go ahead, don't release the grain today, let the county officials go to the village and tell everyone about it. Well, grain will be released at Chenshi tomorrow morning, seventy per bucket Wen, no one is limited to three buckets, and there is a total of fifty stones. Do you understand?"

The price Luo Yan gave Liu Zongshen was ten cents cheaper than the price of those grain stores.Moreover, the rice in the granary in the county is all new rice, so it must be very popular by then.

After Liu Zongshen took the order to go out, Luo Yan smiled slightly.Since you want to play, let's go big and play.

I heard that the price of rice sold in the county is cheaper than that of grain stores, but in terms of the cost, it is no different from the gentry.If I fight with the gentry, the common people will definitely suffer a lot.But the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. After cleaning up these gentry, he will slowly adjust the grain price and then give some other benefits, which can be regarded as making up for his fault.

After Liu Zongshen left, Luo Yan sent someone to send a document to the Ministry of War, requesting the assistance of the Chang'an Drum Banner Army to completely put Lantian under martial law, so that supplies would no longer be circulated with the outside world.

Whether it is Luo Yan or the gentry, the price of grain sold is slightly higher than that of other counties.Luo Yan was afraid that if a real economic war broke out and someone would come in and disrupt the situation, it would be bad.Turning Lantian into an isolated city, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to deal with these gentry at that time.

Du Ruhui couldn't help laughing when he saw Luo Yan making such a big fight.In the document, Luo Yan only said that he would borrow the Drum Banner Army for a period of time, but did not give a specific reason.Although it seemed a bit messy, but Li Shimin had greeted him beforehand, so now Du Ruhui could only cooperate with Luo Yan very depressedly.

On the same day, the Drum Banner Army set up a checkpoint at the entrance and exit of Lantian.Money and food are not allowed to enter Lantian.

Liu Zongshen's work efficiency is also very high. After receiving Luo Yan's order, he and Song Zhenyi joined forces when they went out, and sent a large number of people to publicize the matter.At this time, what is more gratifying than food price cuts.So the news was passed on from ten to ten, and the girls and children in the city and the countryside who had nothing to do followed the messengers who came to inform them and kept spreading the news.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Every morning, the city gates of the county seat were only opened at Mao hour, but this morning, before Mao hour, a large number of people gathered outside the city gate—all waiting to buy food.Many of these people had already rushed outside the city gate and waited before Mao's time.

But when the gate of the city was opened, when the people of the brigade crowded to the food distribution point, they were very angry to see that there were already several long teams sent in front.At this moment, there are no guards watching, the scene is noisy, and some people even fight with others in order to fight for the front position.

The wait is always long, although it is midsummer and the morning is not cold.But in the hearts of the people standing here, don't mention how anxious they are.It is said that [-] shi of grain is released every day, but who can say that the grain price will be this amount tomorrow.What's more, there are also many people who have not been cooking at home for several days, and they come here to buy some rice because they want to save money.

If you can't catch up with today's stubble, let alone disappoint your family when you go back, your stomach can't stand it.Could it be that they really want to buy the food of those noble gentry.

After Chenshi Liu Zongshen and sent and brought people here, Cangcao brought today's fifty shi of grain.Fortunately, there were guards to maintain order, and there was not much turmoil. Although the scene was noisy, the basic order was still maintained.Liu Zongshen and Song Zhen, who were afraid that these people would grab food, were relieved.

But the reality is very unexpected.

Many people crowded in front of them were dressed as servants.And the hands are very generous, with three buckets of rice in hand, put them in the grain bag, and then leave without saying anything.

Anyone with a heart knows what's going on. Seeing that these people bought most of the food, the people who lined up behind quit.

"They are all servants of those country gentry, why can they also buy food. They said they were waiting for cheap food for me, but in the end they all belonged to these rich people." Many people started to make noise.

Fortunately, even if these servants bought a large part of the grain, there were still a few lucky ones who stayed in the city last night and bought the grain after coming early.

Naogui Nao, listening to Liu Zongshen, a local official, said that in the future there will be a supply of [-] shi of grain every day, these people have something to look forward to.So they said a few disturbing words, and they all dispersed.Some of them are quick-witted, and they are planning to spend the night at someone's house in the city, so they can buy food early tomorrow morning, right?

However, there are still some families who are really forced to buy grain. Even if there is still [-] yuan of grain to sell in the county tomorrow, the young and old in the family will not survive until tomorrow.I have no choice but to go to the rice shops of those gentry to buy grain.

Who ever thought that when they entered the rice shop, some people who saw it would find that among the people who had just received the grain, there were these rice shop guys.Be angry, but rice still has to be bought.How much is a bucket of rice? 81 articles.Damn, it's eleven cents more than what Caiguan bought just now.But I have to buy it.Full of resentment, these people could only swallow the rice and go home.

Before the grain distribution lasted for an hour, the fifty shi was snatched up.Liu Zongshen and Song Zhen returned to the county government office and reported to Luo Yan the strange situation during the daytime food distribution.Everyone knew in their hearts that these wealthy gentry bought out the grain in the county and forced the common people to buy expensive food from their stores.

After all, Song Zhen's spirit of book business has not dissipated, and she said to Luo Yan earnestly: "Mr. Lang, this is not good. The people have already made a fuss this morning. If they are allowed to continue like this, not only will there be no trace of food Meaning. Even the county government will be attacked by the common people."

Liu Zongshen is not as naive as Song Zhen.But after all, Luo Yan is also his superior, so if he doesn't say something at this time, it won't make sense.So I leaned over to persuade: "It's really not possible, sir, just put more food every day?" It seemed to be asking, but it was also giving Luo Yan an idea.

Luo Yan pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, one hundred shi can be released tomorrow, but the price of grain will increase by one penny. Also, the grain will be released tomorrow, and each person will still be three dou. No matter who it is, first come, first served. Let this news Let it out. It's also a peace of mind."

Seeing that Luo Yan had enlarged his mouth, the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief.As for the price increase, let's go up, and it's only a penny.The people can also accept it.

　There was a power outage tonight, so I can’t thank everyone who donated and voted today one by one.Thank you very much tomorrow.Knowing that everyone is looking forward to how the economic war will be fought next, Xiaodao is also thinking carefully.Post a chapter first, everyone has fun.
