Unparalleled Concubine

"Although your Fu county is reversed, the people in the city are innocent after all, so since entering the city, everything has remained the same."

The three people looked at each other, they were all shocked, and quickly stood up and knelt in front of Li Xin.

"It turned out to be Lord Jing'an, the little people are rude..."

"Hou Ye Mingjian, the people have never heard of rebellion or not. What the Fu County Pingnan Army did has nothing to do with us..."

Li Xin glanced at the three old men with a half-smile.

"You really don't know?"

Li Shen began to publicize the abolition of the crown prince as early as a year ago. Fucheng is located in the southwestern hinterland. Even if the common people don't know what happened, how could these gentry not know? The reason why he said this was to wash away responsibility.

That is Li Xin, who is too lazy to kill people. If anyone in the capital takes down Fucheng, all the people in Fucheng will become anti-people and can be killed.

However, in Li Xin's view, the affairs of these politicians or conspirators should not involve ordinary people.So I don't bother to argue with these people.

When the three squires heard Li Xin's question, they all looked nervous and dared not speak.

Li Xin put down the teacup in his hand, and glanced at the three of them indifferently.

"Finally, come and find me, what's the matter?"

These three people are representatives of the local forces in Fu County. They came to see him, the "dragon crossing the river", and they couldn't have nothing to say.

The three of them were quite frightened by Li Xin's words, and they were a little afraid to speak. In the end, it was Li Xin's family member who stood up hesitantly, bent over to Li Xin and said, "Your Majesty, Xiaomin is waiting for you! something happened..."

Li Xin raised his eyebrows and frowned, "Are you kidding me?"

This sentence was spoken by a young man, and it didn't have much momentum, but with Li Xin's identity, it was quite different. These three old men, whose combined age was over 160 years old, fell to their knees in fright. On the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.

"Say something."

Li Xin frowned and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person."

In the end, it was Li Xin's "family" who spoke tremblingly.

"That's it..."

"The city gate of Fu County has been closed for ten days. There is not much food in the city. Now it will be fine. In ten days and a half months, some people will not be able to eat. The three of us came here to ask Lord Hou to help Open the city gate and let our three families go to the granary outside the city to bring in some food, otherwise the people in the city will starve..."

Generally, except for certain periods, the local grain and rice are controlled by the gentry and are responsible for buying and selling. The three people who came to Li Xin are the three largest local grain households in Fu County. All three of them have granaries outside the city. of.

Because Li Xin doesn't disturb the people, they feel that Li Xin is easy to talk to, so they have the courage to come to see Li Xin today.

If it was those tyrannical generals, these landlords would have no time to hide, so how could they dare to send them to their door.

But after hearing about Li Xin's identity, the three of them didn't dare to speak out anymore, and they had no choice but to speak out after being pressed by Li Xin.

A smile appeared on Jing'an Houye's face.

He suddenly became enthusiastic, and personally stepped forward to help the three people up.

"The three are outside the city, how much food do you have?"

Chapter 518 The most poisonous businessman's heart

No matter when and where, there will be forces of various places in every place. If this kind of thing cannot be wiped out, even if you uproot it, it will not take long for a new force to grow out of this place, endless.

Because where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.

Therefore, throughout the ages, the imperial court and Yamen generally maintain a certain degree of cooperative relationship with these local forces. The general process is that the Yamen guarantees the interests of these local forces, and these local forces recognize and maintain the rule of the imperial court.

These three squires are the local forces in Fu County.

They monopolized most of the grain in Fu County, and they had a lot of grain available for sale.

In fact, Li Xin is not short of food. After all, the imperial court gave them the maximum support. Although they were forced to leave a lot of luggage when they crossed Motianling, the army rations under Li Xin can at least support them for three days. More than a month, the situation in the southwest should be much clearer in three months, at least Li Xin will not be too troubled by the food problem.

However, three rich men came to their door, and Li Xin had no reason to refuse.

Putting it into the world, the overall situation should be considered peaceful, but if you look at the local area, the southwest is a chaotic world. In the chaotic world, there is no food or gold. Li Xin looked at these three people like looking at delicious chicken cubs same.

The three of them were dumbfounded by Li Xin's question, and finally Li Jie said cautiously: "Go back to Lord Hou, the little people are outside the city, and they have a total of [-] shi and rice."

The smile on Master Jing'an's face faded.

"you're lying."

A stone of grain weighs about fifty or sixty catties, which is enough to feed an adult for three months. There are 4 to [-] people in Fu County. These three families have been running Fu County for many years, so it is impossible to have only such a small amount of grain.

Their family has at least [-] shi, or even more.

Li Jie smiled wryly and bowed to Li Xin.

"Master Hou, we're not going out of the city to get food, why not?"

"If you don't leave the city, what will you do if the people starve to death?"

Li Xin had a straight face.

"They are all citizens of my Great Jin. They died of starvation. Do you plead guilty?"

Li Jie and the others were speechless.

This is purely bullying. People died of famine in the past dynasties. Although many of them were caused by hoarding by grain merchants, the blame has never fallen on the grain merchants.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Lord Jing'an said with a smile, "I will give you a way."

"Starting tomorrow, the three of you can send people out of the city to collect food, but I will send people to follow you at any time, first to protect your safety, and second to prevent you from colluding with the rebels."

Seeing the faces of the three people changed drastically, Li Xin continued: "Don't worry, we are Master Wang, and we will not steal your food."

The three of Li Jie bowed to Li Xin again and again.

"Lord Hou, we are willing to donate ten thousand stones of grain and rice to Master Wang as military rations!"

Li Xin waved his hand.

"If you say you don't want you, naturally you don't want you."

"I'm going to ask you a few questions."

Li Jie nodded quickly.

"Master Hou, please."

"How is the food market in Shu County now?"
