Chongzhen Chat Group

When Huang Daoxuan heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Judging from the announcement by the imperial court, the reason for implementing this unprecedented food control was to squeeze out some food to help the people in Yongping who were devastated by the war. But if there are too many people like Iron Rooster and the capital has such a large population, let alone other places to provide relief, whether the capital can get enough food or not is a question!

Thinking of this, he pulled down the sleeve of the Imperial Guard Captain and motioned him to come to the edge with him, and then asked humbly: "Brother, do you think there are many people like this?"

"Yes, generally those who have some money at home will always have some savings. Some families may not be able to support it now, but there are definitely many families who still have surplus food." When the Jinyi Guardsman said this, he turned to look at Iron Rooster. , then turned back and continued, "There are rumors outside that the capital has insufficient food, which makes those whose families have surplus food put aside the food at home and come here to get food!"

"Does the higher ups not care about this kind of thing?" Huang Daoxuan asked with a frown after hearing this.

The Jinyi Guards Captain glanced at him, shook his head and said, "How to control them? There's no way to control them! Apart from prohibiting the spread of rumors, what can you do to these people?"

At this point, he sighed slightly, and then whispered: "If we stand in front of them like us during the Apocalypse, they will run away in fear!"

When Huang Daoxuan heard this, he recalled what he had seen and heard over the years and couldn't help but nod. Indeed, the factory guards during the Tianqi period were the most majestic. But after the current emperor ascended the throne, the prestige of the factory guards plummeted. Although it has improved a lot since the beginning of the month, it is still not as good as before. Just like this iron rooster, how could he dare to talk back if he had faced off against him in the past?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel moved, and wanted to try the idea in his mind.

So, he walked back to the office outside, saw Iron Rooster about to leave, and said loudly: "This man is from a wealthy family but he still comes to receive food. He needs to be treated differently. Also record his information and give it to our Dongchang." !”

Upon hearing this, Iron Rooster could no longer step out with his outstretched legs. He turned back and looked at Huang Daoxuan in astonishment, his face a little confused and a little worried.

Seeing that Huang Daoxuan was urging the officials to do as he was told, he couldn't help but walk back, squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm not breaking the law, am I? The court allows it!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Daoxuan turned his head to look at him and said expressionlessly: "If you had committed a crime, I would have caught you long ago. Don't worry, just take the food and leave. I just want to hand over the information."

The people in the queue behind saw that there was something going on here, and they couldn't help but stretch their necks, trying to get a better look despite the cold.

Iron Rooster felt a little uneasy, so of course he wouldn't leave. He bent a little and continued to laugh: "Can I ask, what do you want this for?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Daoxuan suddenly lowered his face and shouted: "Are you in charge of what I do in Dongchang? Get out!"

This time, Iron Rooster was frightened. He didn't dare to ask again, but he didn't dare to leave either. After being in a dilemma for a while, he suddenly said with a smile: "Well, I don't want this food anymore. Can you return the food stamps to me? I will return it."

The Jinyi Guard Captain, who had been silent all this time, his eyes lit up when he saw this. He glanced at Huang Daoxuan, already understanding his intention, and couldn't help but admire him secretly.

At this critical moment, if you can solve some trouble for the above, you will definitely be appreciated. This is the time when it is easiest to get promoted.

When he thought of this, he saw the iron rooster taking back the food stamps and walking away in despair. At the same time, when several people in the queue outside slipped out of the queue, he immediately made a decision to report the matter to the superiors as soon as possible.

That night, Hu Guang received reports from Jinyiwei Commander Liu Xingzuo and Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun, which he couldn't help but admire.

This method is difficult to mention openly, but it can take advantage of the factory guard's reputation. In fact, it is using the power in his hand to threaten others. Those who think they have food but actually don’t have food should still receive food in order to have a stutter; and those who do have food at home but happen to be named by the factory guard should consider whether the factory guard will cause trouble in the future. .

Of course, some people with strong backgrounds, such as officials or relatives of the emperor, may not be afraid. There are also large families who do not come forward themselves, but send out their servants to receive food, which may not have much effect. But it doesn't matter. It's a good thing to save more food. Hu Guang thought so and praised Cao Huachun and Liu Xingzuo.

After falling asleep at night, Hu Guang entered the chat group to check on the situation as usual. I found that Wu Ergou in the elementary group seemed to have been silent. I don't know if he was scolding Hauge, who couldn't help but because he was rich, or because he was very busy.

But Hu Guang couldn't care about it for the time being, and he didn't want to. When he was about to sleep, he suddenly noticed that the icon of Liu Wang in the Jinyiwei working group was shaking, so he switched to it and listened.

"Mr. Sun Ge said that Guan Ning's army can leave for the capital tomorrow, but it may take some time on the way with some old and weak people who are going to the capital to visit relatives and friends."

Then the second message came out immediately: "Old Sun Ge asked if we should bring some of the high-status prisoners to the capital to offer them as prisoners?"

"In addition, there are too many old and weak people, and even if they are squeezed as much as possible, a lot of houses will be needed. There are not enough prisoners to build houses, and with the cold weather, the construction speed will be even slower, and the manpower is very insufficient. Mr. Sun Ge suggested, Recruiting some local people from surrounding areas to participate in building houses should speed up the progress and reduce the number of deaths among the elderly and the weak..."

Hearing this, Hu Guang frowned and said, "Forget about offering prisoners. The land in the capital is being ravaged by captives. There is nothing to offer prisoners. We can wait until we capture the slave chief."

Mrs. Liu was a little surprised that the emperor responded immediately, so she immediately stopped talking and waited until the emperor finished speaking before responding.

Hu Guang thought for a while and rejected Sun Chengzong's second question: "As for manpower, let's see if there is another solution. The harm of recruiting civilians at this time has been determined before, so it is inappropriate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Mrs. Liu responded, or because she chatted more with Hu Guang, she was not as reserved as other officials and sighed smoothly, "It would be great if there were more prisoners. These people are harming He has killed so many people, and he has done absolutely bad things, and it is not a pity to die!"

Yes, it would be nice if we could capture more prisoners. Even if we die from exhaustion, it doesn’t matter. We deserve to die...

Hu Guang thought of this with approval, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Isn't this the best way to solve the shortage of manpower?

With this in mind, he immediately clicked on Liu Xingzuo's icon to ask.

I got home at 23:40. I was closer to leaving than before, and I finally managed to finish a chapter. If you set the alarm tomorrow morning and catch it later, it will update normally.
