I heard that Mr. is lacking a wife [farming]

Many people around saw Zhao Yuancheng's movements, they were all human beings, so they naturally knew what was in their pockets, but everyone waited and watched, anyway, they just kept their eyes on Zhao Yuancheng.

Li Wugeng glanced around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Huailin on the opposite side, he winked at Zhao Yuancheng, meaning let him go over there.The two walked unhurriedly, as if they didn't see the wolf-like eyes of the people around them. They were separated from Li Huailin by a fence, so they had to go around.

Before crossing the fence, something unexpected happened suddenly.The place where Li Huailin was was suddenly noisy, and several tall men rushed over like crazy, beating and scolding Li Huailin.The officers and soldiers nearby saw that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but the rest of the refugees surrounded them to block them.

"Kill you dog officer!"

"This corrupt bastard, kill him!"

"Yes! Hit! Hit hard! You can't even drink a mouthful of porridge. It's not because you are greedy!"

……

Those few men didn't hesitate to strike, and beat them to death. The people on the side either acted nonchalantly, or went to surround and applaud and boo.Why is Li Huailin over half a hundred years old, how can he be the opponent of these few, he has no strength to fight back at all, he can only forcefully stand next to each other, trying to protect the deadly place as much as possible.

Li Wugeng and Zhao Yuancheng were both startled, they hurriedly pushed away the spectators and squeezed in.Those few were red-eyed, and when they saw someone coming again, they wanted to do it without saying a word.Zhao Yuancheng dodged nimbly, but Li Wugeng was not very good-tempered, and he punched back with his fists. These people hadn't had enough food for several days. It doesn't matter if they are tall. Just bullying Li Huailin.

Those people were winking, Li Wugeng was powerful, and his style of play was brutal, they just wanted to clean up Li Huailin, so they all stopped and stepped aside.One of them, wearing gray-blue clothes, glanced at Li Wugeng meaningfully, and said with a sly voice: "Sure enough, the lives of us outsiders are not our lives. I don’t even have to eat it, and I can’t compare to those ruddy and lively ones!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.Most of the refugees were restless at first, but now they saw these two well-dressed people, and after comparing them, they felt sour and angry.Feeling that they have nothing to eat or drink every day, and the people outside have good food every day, no wonder they are locked up and not allowed to go out!

Li Wugeng turned his head to look at the person who spoke - he was wearing a long gray gown, even though he was in a difficult situation now, he was very particular, the corners of his clothes were not wrinkled, he looked like he had drunk ink.I have read to the bottom of the cow's butt, and I still want to take the lead in rebellion?Li Wugeng sneered in his heart, too lazy to talk to this mindless thing.

He supported Li Huailin and said loudly on purpose: "My lord, we are here to donate supplies!"

Li Huailin's feet softened when he heard this, he grabbed his hand and asked in disbelief: "Really?"

Li Wugeng nodded, squinted at the person who said that he was sarcasm, and then glanced at everyone's reactions.Not only them, but even Zhao Yuancheng was shocked. There are at least two thousand refugees here, not including those in the villages outside. If they really donate, how can one or two bags of rice solve the problem?And the prices outside have been soaring, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy rice.Zhao Yuancheng hesitated to speak, since Li Wugeng said that, he must have made a plan long ago, so he didn't want to say much.

There was a dead silence for a while, and then the crowd suddenly exploded. They looked at Li Wugeng like they were reborn parents, and they were so grateful.Li Huailin was very excited, as if the wound on his body didn't hurt anymore, he pulled Li Wugeng and said to go to the tent to discuss in detail.

"Do you really want to donate?" He asked again.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will bring some rice over tonight. I should be able to last for a few days. I will send people to other places to buy rice tomorrow morning." Li Wugeng replied, after all, the places involved are only a few cities. The war has just begun, and everything is as usual in the north. The rice here is not easy to buy, so go north, and you can always buy it!Although he doesn't know anything, he also knows that there can be no chaos in the rear, and Yun Shuzhi is still on the front line, all he can do is to stabilize this place first.Jinyu and Liu Xu received a lot of money when they were one year old, and now they just take it out.

Li Huailin suffered for a few days, and when he got his words, he burst into tears and couldn't stop thanking him.Those above are really not things, they are all consciences eaten by dogs. I heard that the imperial court allocated 10 taels of silver. Although Longxing is only a small town, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to only have a few dozen taels!He was also driven to the point of being helpless, and kept calling for help, but all the letters fell into the sea, and he didn't need to guess to know that the news hadn't been passed on.

These refugees are very difficult to deal with, and it is impossible to suppress them. There are thousands of them, and the government only has dozens, which is not enough for each of them to punch.Li Huailin could only pretend to bluff them every day, but he couldn't do it in the past few days. There were more and more people who were ready to move, and he was beaten up today, and he was very wronged.

With Li Wugeng's promise, the food problem has been temporarily resolved, but Li Huailin is still a little worried.Once the refugees here are properly resettled, I believe the news will spread within two days. I am afraid that refugees from other places will come here one after another. At that time, Longxing will definitely fall into turmoil and chaos, and then the situation will be even worse. Good control.

Even if you worry too much, there is nothing you can do. You can only take one step at a time.

After leaving the refugee area, Li Wugeng went to several grain shops first, and these people seemed to have made an appointment-one person could only buy one catty of rice at most every day, and fifty yuan per catty!

This is not taking advantage of the fire, what is it!It was Li Wugeng who was ready when he came, and they were very angry.He held back his anger, discussed with the store, and asked for more money, hoping to buy more.

The answer - no way!

He was so angry that those people just refused to talk about it.I have rice, I am the uncle, if I don't sell it, what can you do?

Li Wugeng couldn't do anything to them, so he walked away.

These devoid of conscience don't care if they don't sell rice, they are still trying their best to go to the countryside to buy rice.The villagers didn't know what happened. After decades of peace, they never thought it was war. Seeing that the price of rice had risen so much, they all rushed to sell rice!

In just two days, they have purchased a large amount of stored grain.

Li Wugeng didn't buy rice at the grain store, so he immediately went to various villages to buy rice, but he was a step too late, and he didn't buy much after running for a long time.And the villagers are not stupid. When people come to collect rice one after another, they think something must have happened, and everyone will stop selling it. Li Wugeng walked to those people's doors and before they opened their mouths, others slammed the door and closed it. Tell him to leave quickly and refuse to sell anything.

The situation is tense and the pressure surges.Li Huailin looked at the bags of rice that Li Wugeng sent, and almost fainted from anger.

If this goes on like this, they don't need the refugees to make trouble, they can fight with their own people alone!I thought that the situation could be controlled for a while, but now that they have been tossed about by buying rice, everyone is panicked. In addition, Qingliang's side is constantly fighting, and everyone should have guessed what happened.

Constantly pacing back and forth, Li Huailin tugged at the beard on his chin, his hair was almost graying.

Li Wugeng was also in a hurry, but suddenly thought of a way.

Li Huailin has been an official in Longxing for so many years, not to mention other things, he still has prestige.To put it bluntly, the owners of those grain stores are businessmen, how can they surpass those who are officials?They are too polite, that's why they are being squeezed now. To put it bluntly, Li Huailin is the master of Longxing, and the emperor is far away. It is simply a matter of doing anything to clean up a few grain merchants for any crime!

As soon as the idea came out, Li Huailin hesitated.Although this method is crude, it is the most safe solution, but once it is used, it will leave a clue, and if the higher-ups investigate it in the future...

do not care!If he allowed these people to act again, he might not be able to protect himself.

Li Huailin is also a ruthless guy, he recruited a hundred strong men from the town, and a group of them went to the major grain shops with a murderous look.

The first thing they went to was the largest grain store in Longxing - Youjia Rice Shop. Naturally, the owner's surname was You, and everyone called You San'er.

Seeing this group of people coming, they rummaged around arbitrarily, the shop was in a mess, You San'er was furious, and asked Li Huailin directly: "Master Li, what does this mean?"

Li Huailin glanced at him, and replied: "I just received a report from you, saying that you have hidden witchcraft, tsk tsk, You San'er, why can't you figure it out..."

"Nonsense! Master Li don't want to spout blood!" You San'er felt uneasy, this thing is taboo, if anyone finds out that it has it, they will be punished by death!

Li Huailin sneered and made a move: "Bring people up!"

The officers and soldiers obeyed the order and brought their men up.

You San'er's face changed drastically, just as he was about to speak, an officer and soldier came over and told Li Huailin: "My lord, I found it!"

You San'er's face was completely drained of blood, and outside the shop were all burly men, Li Huailin came prepared.

Li Huailin didn't talk nonsense, he directly tied up You San'er, shut his mouth, and sent someone to take him back to the yamen, and then went to copy the next one.

He took care of two big ones in a row, and the rest of them were stunned. They had to panic before, but now they don't dare to fart.Li Huailin was in a good mood, invited them to drink tea, and talked cheerfully for a long time, meaning that everyone should pay attention to it, and the price of rice should be lowered immediately, and they will be sold as much as they have hoarded. If anyone does not listen, the cell will be so spacious Very, it’s okay to close a few more.

All the bosses quit. They paid a high price for the rice, and now they sell it at a reduced price. Isn't it going to make them lose money!

Li Huailin laughed out loud, Li Wugeng was really smart, he had expected that these foxes would not agree easily.It’s okay if you don’t sell it, anyway, I’ve guarded the way out of the town, if you can’t leave, if you don’t sell it, you can hand it over to the government, maybe I can give you some credit after the war!

What the officials do is banditry, openly robbing!Everyone was helpless and angrily agreed.The owner of Zhongliang Shop was forced to sign an agreement to sell the rice to the government at the price before the price increase.Li Huailin narrowed his eyes with a smile, writing in black and white, if he is held accountable in the future, it will not be his turn, right?

After signing the agreement, Li Huailin personally sent them out.

"Go slowly, everyone," he said.

No one paid him any attention, not even looking at him.

Li Huailin didn't care.

After the people left, Li Wugeng came out from inside.Li Huailin went over and wiped off his sweat, it was the first time he did such a thing, he seemed calm just now, but he was actually a little scared.
