Don't panic when the end of the world comes, the boss of the group has a system

The 10 dan of grain purchased by the grain merchant of Anping Prefecture in Shuzhou were taken up by escort agencies and escorted from Shuzhou to Yongzhou.

After the first four darts were destroyed, the remaining six darts are temporarily safe.

These six escorts were taken over by the six escort agencies in Shuzhou. For safety reasons, the six escort agencies have been traveling together since they set out from Shuzhou.

There are about 300 people in the six dart teams.

After hearing that Qingfeng Gorge in Longnan County, Yongzhou was so dangerous, the six escort teams from Shuzhou no longer dared to take the Qingfeng Gorge route to Anping Prefecture, and had to take a detour through Hanzhou. They are now in Chen County of Hanzhou.

Chen County, Hanzhou, is located at the border between Yongzhou and Hanzhou in the east, more than 700 miles northeast of Longnan County, and more than miles away from Anping Prefecture in the west.

The hometown of Zhou County Magistrate of Linshui County is in Chen County.

……

There are four grain shops in Linshui County, namely Qian’s Grain Shop, Chen’s Grain Shop, Huang’s Grain Shop and Zhang’s Grain Shop.

Except for Manager Liu of Qian's Grain Store who was unable to meet his boss at that time, the managers of the other three grain stores all went to meet their bosses in person.

After the three shopkeepers reported the whole story to their boss, the three bosses, after repeated deliberation, unanimously decided: to stay put and wait and see.

After purchasing a large amount of grain from Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce, there are only two ways to sell the grain:

First, open a grain store in the county town to sell grain.

There is a Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce that sells grain in the county town. Even if their grain shop is open, they are in an awkward situation. Without price advantage, not only can they not make any money, they may even suffer losses.

Second, transport the purchased grain to other counties or Anping Prefecture for sale.

This matter is even more precarious. The grains that the Tang Family Escort Agency was escorting were all looted by the refugees. If ordinary grain merchants like them wanted to transport the grain out of the city to sell it, they could only wait to be robbed.

If the food transported out of the city was robbed by refugees or bandits on the way, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To sum up, even though several grain merchants coveted the cheap grain from Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce, they did not dare to take the risk of purchasing large quantities of grain from Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce.

……

After Tang Shoucheng and his friends had lunch and went to the front yard, there were suddenly enough people selling food and water in the front yard.

With sufficient manpower, the speed of selling water and food in the front yard suddenly increased.

……

Time flies.

At noon, the yamen runners guarding the four major city gates in the county followed Li Laishu's instructions: they opened the city gates on time and posted a notice at the gates.

The general content of the notice:

There is a Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce in Linshui County, located at the former Tangjia Escort Agency.

Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce has a large amount of food and water for sale.

Miscellaneous grains, 10 cents per pound.

Refined rice and flour, 15 wen per pound.

Water, two cents per load.

The people of Linshui County and the disaster victims can go into the city to buy food and water.

No entry fee is charged.

Residents of Linshui County can enter the city based on their household registration, with no limit on the number of people.

Disaster victims had to queue up to buy food and water in the city.

After the victims lined up, 50 people were allowed into the city at a time. After these 50 people bought food and left the city, another group of people were allowed in.

……

At this time, many people gathered outside the four major city gates of Linshui County.

There are ordinary people from Linshui County as well as disaster victims from other places.

The common people in the countryside of Linshui County still have something to eat for the time being, and most of them come to the county town to go to the market. After the city gates were closed for a few days, the people outside the city who could not enter the city complained bitterly.

A few days ago, porridge was distributed outside Linshui County. After hearing the news, most of the disaster victims who walked near Linshui County came to Linshui County to try their luck.

But when they arrived in Linshui County, not only was there no one distributing porridge, but the city gates were also closed.

After the city gates had been closed for several days without any movement, the disaster victims in Linshui County are now in a dilemma.

I no longer have the energy to go anywhere else, and I can’t go into the city.

……

After the four city gates were opened, the people gathered outside the city gates rushed to the city gates...

When they saw the yamen runners coming out of the city to post notices, everyone was curious and stopped for a moment...

After the yamen runners posted the notice next to the city gate, everyone rushed to where the notice was posted...

A few dozen people rushed towards the city gate...

After seeing someone rushing towards the city gate, the gatekeepers immediately drew out their swords, waved them a few times and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, go and read the notice first..."

When they saw the bright swords in the hands of the yamen runners, those who wanted to rush into the city immediately backed off, listened to the yamen runners, and turned around and ran to where the notice was posted...

……

The first people who could read and rushed to the notice were so excited after reading it that they spontaneously read it aloud...

After the literate people finished reading the notice, many of the Linshui County residents who had flocked to the notice turned around and ran home...

The people of Linshui County who had their household registrations on them immediately ran to the city gates...

The clever victims quickly ran to line up...

……

After a brief turmoil at the four major city gates, people entering the city gradually became orderly.

After the people in the city learned that the city gates had been opened, those who needed to leave the city urgently began to leave one after another.

After learning that the city gate had been opened, Manager Liu immediately sent someone on horseback to Anping Prefecture to deliver a letter.

-

As the people who bought the food went out of the city to spread the news, in just half an hour, the local people and disaster victims within a radius of more than 20 miles in Linshui County all knew that there was a Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce in the county town of Linshui County, and that the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce had a large amount of food and water for sale, and that the food and water were sold at very low prices...

It is said that miscellaneous grains are sold at 10 wen per pound, refined rice and refined flour are sold at 15 wen per pound, and water is sold at wen per load.

……

After hearing such explosive news, the common people and disaster victims were immediately excited and rushed to the county town...

-

After many disaster victims rushed to the city gate of Linshui County:

The victims who still had some savings lined up to go into the city to buy food and water.

The victims who had no assets sold their children at the city gates. After selling their children, they immediately lined up to enter the city to buy food and water.

Those who have no children to sell can only watch others go into the city.

……

Li Laishu, who was patrolling at the four city gates, was heartbroken when he saw this scene. He took the initiative to run into the county government office and report the matter to County Magistrate Zhou.

……

After listening to Li Laishu's report, County Magistrate Zhou, who was trying to take advantage of this good situation to gain merit and win the hearts of the people, gave five hundred taels of silver notes to his steward Zhou Quan without saying a word, and asked him to go to Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce to buy brown rice with all the silver, and then gather people to distribute porridge at the four major city gates.

……

Half an hour later, the people gathered by Butler Zhou began to set up pots and cook porridge at the four city gates...

Seeing the porridge being cooked at the city gate, those who had sold their children regretted it and wanted to redeem their children...

Who knows, these people who bought people are actually spies of Tianxianglou. How could they let you redeem the people they bought cheaply?

The people who sold their children at the city gate immediately started to argue with the spies from Tianxiang Tower...

After the spies in Tianxiang Tower refused to give in, the families who had sold their children knelt at the city gate and cried out for justice...
