Great Wei Nengchen

Such a good method, of course, should be used as a reference. Let people prepare five-flowered horses and double-wheeled chariots. Xiao Yi took off his military uniform and changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes. Becoming a coachman, the second disciple, Hao Zhao, in a small hat, sits on the other side of the carriage as an accompanying servant!

Zhao Yu and Daoxiang are dressed in costumes, full of pearls, sitting in the car as wives, the happiest one is Deng Ai, wearing the clothes of Da Ah Fu, holding a snack box, sitting between the two teachers and wives, looking like a rich man. The young master looks so cute!

Cao Xing and Xiao Bin led hundreds of soldiers, wearing soft armor inside, hidden sharp knives, and disguised as businessmen, peddlers, porters, coolies... Distributed around the carriage, secretly guarding the safety of Da Sima, so as not to encounter assassins again!

"Drive!--Roll! Roll!"

After everything was ready, Xiao Yi waved his long whip and drove the carriage straight to Dongguan, which is the largest market in Yecheng, with many shops, business travelers, thousands of industries, everything, and the largest food distribution center!

When Cao Jun invaded the city, some generals proposed to lead troops to plunder Dongguanfang City, so as to make a fortune, but Cao Cao and Xiao Yi forcibly prohibited them from touching every brick and tile inside. Cloud: 'Without agriculture, there is no stability, without work, there is no wealth, and without business, there is no life'. Without the gathering of business travelers, who will be taxed in the future? It is impossible to kill the chicken to get the eggs!

"Grandpa, please do me a favor. Hire a few long-term workers. The villain is strong and strong, able to pick and carry, work more and eat less!"

"The 12-year-old Huanghua girl can cook, wash, and warm the bed. She just needs to take care of the food, and she doesn't need a penny!"

..............................

It's already the severe cold season, the north wind howls, the dripping water turns into ice, and the birds in the sky are gone, but in the streets and alleys, there are still countless people wandering about, in ragged clothes, yellow and emaciated, running around for a bite to eat!

Seeing the double-wheeled carriage approaching, these people rushed forward, some stretched out their hands to beg, some sold themselves as slaves, and some put teenage girls desperately on the carriage, hoping to enter a rich family as a slave, at least to get along Have a full meal!

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the turbulent situation, countless refugees poured into Yecheng, although Cao Ying tried his best to provide relief, but unfortunately there was not enough food, it was difficult to cover everything, some people still couldn't eat, and even died of freezing and starvation!

"Crack!-crack!--all scattered!"

Hao Zhao was born as a refugee. At this time, his sympathy was flooding, and he was about to take out the scattered silver in his arms and distribute it to the people around him, but he was stopped by Xiao Yi. go out!

The crowd was frightened and immediately dispersed. Looking at the back of the carriage, some people sighed sadly, some cried loudly, and some spit wildly. The richer the person, the more desperate he is!

"The ancients said: To be a man should be chivalrous, and it is our duty to save the crisis and help the needy. Just now we met refugees begging, why didn't we help them?"

Hao Zhao's eyes were slightly red, and he asked in a low voice, full of puzzlement in his heart. Could it be that the master he just worshiped is really a cold-blooded person?

"You're right, you should have a chivalrous heart, but I'll teach you one more sentence today as a teacher: 'A great chivalrous man should serve the country and the people; a small chivalrous man should fight violence and protect the good'. Will you be a great chivalrous man in the future? Or the little hero?"

Although Xiao Yi killed people like hemp, his heart was never cold. How could he not help the weak? As for what he did just now, there are two reasons:

First, the order of the streets is too chaotic. As long as Hao Zhao distributes the money, the common people will definitely gather and fight for each other. If you fight, you might die. A good deed becomes a bad deed!

Second, when the common people gather, they will block the road, and the carriage will be unable to move an inch. What is going to be done today is related to the lives of millions. How can it be for dozens of refugees, and in the end, the small thing loses the big thing?

As a high-ranking person - judge the situation, have a heart like a stone, do not ask for small benevolence and small righteousness, only think about the common people in the world, for the lives of millions of refugees, let alone disperse dozens of people, kill dozens, hundreds, or even several What is a thousand people?

Because of this, the heroes in history: such as Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, often bear the eternal infamy. History books only record how they killed people, but they forgot how many Li people were saved behind the killing!

"The words taught by the master, the disciples will keep in mind, must carefully ponder, and strive to become a great hero!"

Hao Zhao thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, but looked at the refugees on the street, still full of pity, a hero is also a great evil, not everyone can do it!

........................................................................

"Ron!--Ron! Ron!"

After a while, Dongguanfang City arrived, and the streets were full of shops, such as blacksmith shops, silk shops, furniture shops, candle shops, paper shops... everything was there, and it was very lively. Lots of people!

Yecheng has a population of more than 30, many industries, and a detailed division of labor. Farmers only account for a small part, and more are officials, businessmen, craftsmen, hard workers, and coolies... Therefore, people do not live by farming, and there is no The habit of storing grain is generally to buy as you eat, enough for the whole family for a month or two!

If it is a peaceful and prosperous age, this habit is nothing. If you have money, you are not afraid that you will not be able to buy food.

However, in troubled times, the situation is not so good. Yecheng has experienced military disasters, floods, and snowstorms... The farms were destroyed, the grain harvest was short, self-sufficiency was very difficult, and hundreds of thousands of refugees flooded in. It is inevitable Insufficient rations, and thus formed a 'rice tide! '

"Drive! - drive! drive!"

Xiao Yi drove forward, found the largest grain and rice store, and stopped at a hidden place nearby. This place is called 'Zhenji Rice Store'. It is the property of the Zhen family. Grain-producing areas, and the pillar industries of the Zhen family are selling grain, raising silkworms and weaving cloth!

"Open the door, open the door quickly, we have been waiting all night just to buy some food!"

"Shopkeeper, please do me a favor. There is no more rice for cooking at home. If you don't open the door, you will starve to death!"

........................

It was already high in the sun, and the rice store hadn't opened yet. The front was crowded with ordinary people, probably as many as thousands of people, all of them were carrying rice bags and baskets, looking very anxious and exhausted!

In the eye-catching position of the rice store, there is also a white wooden sign, which says in ink: "A bucket of corn is five thousand dollars, the real thing, no credit!" '

You know, during the heyday of the Han Dynasty, a bucket of corn was only [-] yuan, and even if there was a famine or war, it was only a few hundred yuan a bucket. When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the chaos and chaos, Luoyang City - a thousand dollars for a bucket of rice, is already appalling. Well, now a bucket of rice is worth five thousand dollars, which has never been seen in the history books since ancient times!

Ordinary people work hard for a year, but their income is only a dozen copper coins, which can buy about two buckets of corn, which is barely enough to feed one person for a month. Facing such high food prices, it is no wonder that people do not starve to death!

"What the hell are you screaming about, if you offend me, you will close the door for three days and three nights, and your whole family will starve to death. The poorer you are, the more troubles you will have!"

Amidst a burst of vicious cursing, a middle-aged man walked out from the side door of the rice store. He was short in stature, potbellied, and had blistered toad eyes full of greed and cunning. He was the proprietor of the rice store—Zhen Gui!

Zhen Gui is the slave son of the Zhen family. The slave follows the master's surname, so his surname is Zhen. Two, shoddy goods, smeared money...all kinds of bad things!

After walking out of the rice shop, Zhen Gui was not in a hurry to sell the grain, but asked someone to bring a bucket of clean water, scrub the handwriting on the wooden sign, and re-write the price of grain: [-] yuan for a bucket of rice!

The [-] copper coins are the price set by the masters, and the remaining [-] copper coins are the benefits that Zhen Gui earns for himself. As long as this deal is completed, he can buy a mansion, a carriage, and hire several people. Ten servants, and more than a dozen beautiful wives and concubines, you can taste what it's like to be a master yourself!

"The price of rice has risen again. If it continues like this, I can only take the whole family to the refugee camp to drink some rice soup!"

"When the Yuan family was in power, our life was difficult. Now that the Cao family is in power, our life is also difficult!"

..............................

Seeing that the price of rice had risen again, the common people sighed and cursed those in power one after another.

One: people are iron, rice is steel, and if one meal is not eaten, many people’s homes will be broken, and adults will make their children cry. If they don’t buy some food to go back, they will really starve to death!

Two: The price of grain rises three times a day, just like a monkey climbing a tree. If you don’t buy now, the price of grain will rise in the afternoon. Six thousand, seven thousand, or even ten thousand per bucket of rice is also possible!

Years of wars have caused the people to live in dire straits, and the common people have no money left, so they have to use some gold and silver utensils and ancestral antiques instead.

As for the corn they bought, not only was it old, damp, moldy, and spoiled, but it was also mixed with a lot of sand, stones, and mouse feces... It made me sick to look at it, and I felt like vomiting when I smelled it, but I hugged it tightly in my arms, ready to take it. Go back and save lives!

"Searching the people, being rich and unkind, the Zhen family has fallen to this point, it should be cleaned up, and it will be easier for my son to sit on the position of the head of the family in the future!"

Sitting on the carriage, Xiao Yi saw clearly the tricks of the profiteers, his eyes were full of murderous intent, the position of the Patriarch of the Zhen family was originally reserved for his second son, so it's time to act now!

Chapter 1061 Buy expensive or cheap!

"Good news, great news... There is a grain shop in Beifang that just opened, and a bucket of rice only costs [-] yuan!"

In front of the Zhenji rice store, the common people were frowning, reluctantly buying high-priced grain, and suddenly a strong man ran up from a distance, sweating profusely, panting, and carrying a big sack, shouting and yelling at the crowd. If crazy!

Seeing the yelling brawny man, the people were indifferent and continued to line up to buy food. Some people dug their ears, thinking they heard it wrong; some patted their heads, thinking they were hallucinating; Only then will you come to talk nonsense!

In a catastrophe year, rice is as expensive as pearls, and grain prices will only skyrocket all the way, so how can it suddenly drop in price, let alone five thousand dollars for a bucket of rice, which is not such a good thing in a dream, right?
