In the face of nature, what he can do is limited, and the rest is up to fate.

The second heavy snow came without warning, at first it was just sleet, and then it turned into light snow.

Just when everyone thought it would stop the next day, who knew that the little snow turned into a large piece of goose feather snow.

Where did the southerners see this.

Fortunately, they had plenty of food, so they didn't worry too much. Even because of this incident, Jingzhou, which was immersed in the war, brought a little excitement.

The streets are filled with the laughter of children playing in the snow.

Ji Xiuyuan couldn't be happier, he was born and raised in Suizhou, and judging by the weather, he knew that the heavy snow might not stop for a while.

I estimated in my heart, if the week is over, it will be considered good, and the bad will be bad, if the week can't end.

There has been a large-scale procurement of charcoal in the city.

This is not a good sign.

And Liu Ruisi didn't notice the abnormality of the weather at all, only Chailide thought it was wrong, said twice, but was refuted back.

Therefore, he didn't say a word, and simply saved up charcoal and food.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, the ground is getting thicker and thicker, and the laughter of children on the street is gradually decreasing.

Many businesses, even forced by the cold weather, closed their stores.

The price and sales of charcoal are rising every day.

At this time, Liu Ruisi was still waiting for news from Mengzhou.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off this time, and he really asked him to wait for the news.

Yan Nu replied in the letter that there was also heavy snow in Suizhou, and they planned to take the risk to attack this time, so-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him.

Of course, there is still one condition, food.

Liu Ruisi was overjoyed, and despite everyone's objections, opened the granary again.

This time, the grain storage in the granary has reached the lowest level in 15 years.

All grain officials dare not speak out. Since ancient times, the granary has been the basis of survival. People can die, but the granary cannot be empty.

Liu Ruisi didn't care about these things, since he spoke out, he had never heard of a famine in Jingzhou.

Especially in the past few years, there is still a large amount of old rice that can't be eaten every year. This year, it is just consumed.

Wait until next year, just harvesting grain.

In fact, it's no wonder that he didn't care so much, because everyone in Jingzhou had a shortage of gold and silver, not to mention food.

The same is true of the fact that the price of food has not increased, but the price of charcoal has increased a lot.

Ji Xiuyuan soon got the news about Liu Ruisi opening the granary again.

But his complexion was not very good, because it was not his idea that Luo Chengtian asked for food this time.

Only a few main members of Ji Xiuyuan knew about this matter, and the others did not know the details.

"Lead someone to intercept the food, and it cannot fall into their hands anyway."

Lin Feng nodded, "Yes, I'll do it now."

This time when he arrived at the transfer site, he waited for Liu Ruisi's men to leave, and came out to get food.

The person is still the same person as last time, but this time the expression is not as good as last time.

Seeing Lin Feng, his expression immediately darkened.

"General Lin, are you here again?"

Lin Feng snorted and asked his subordinates to surround them without saying a word.

"Isn't something wrong this time?" He asked aloud.

The other party pretended to be stupid, "What's the matter?"

"Hehe, come with me again." Lin Feng muttered, and winked at his subordinates directly, they couldn't help but step forward to grab the food.

The other party's eyes widened, but he didn't dare to move. He was Luo Chengtian's confidant, and he knew the tense relationship between the two sides.

But they also want to develop in Mengzhou, how can there be no shortage of food.

If he just snatched it away like this now, how can he go back and do business?

"Brother, don't worry, go back and tell your boss that the food will be kept by the warlord first, so don't bother him." He didn't give the other party an answer as he said that, he just waved his hand and was about to take the people and the food with him.

The man didn't say a word, just watched them walk away.

"Captain, this..." a subordinate asked hesitantly.

"go back."

……

Lin Feng was not as happy as he imagined when he got the food. On the contrary, he was a little worried. The man just now clearly knew what this batch of food meant to the two of them.

But his attitude still hasn't changed, which can be said to be very dangerous.

One thing Liu Ruisi guessed right, Mengzhou is too important to them, otherwise they wouldn't have secretly spent their minds and manpower and material resources to support Luo Chengtian.

But at this critical period, after anyone has tasted the taste of power, it is not certain that he will still be the same person he was before.

We can only hold on first.

After he went back and listened to the report to Ji Xiuyuan, both of them looked very solemn and did not say a word.

They didn't always expect Luo Chengtian to be on their side, but the speed of their thoughts was too fast.

"How much food is left in Jingzhou?" Ji Xiuyuan asked.

"The last ration is going to be unbearable," Lin Feng said.

At this time, if food causes riots, it will definitely not be a small problem.

Needless to say, they all know that Liu Ruisi's next step is to collect food directly from the people because there is not enough food in the granary.

It would have been much better without this snow disaster, but now the snow has turned to ice, and it keeps falling day by day.

There are almost no people on the street, and everyone is staying at home for the winter.

Now that everyone is asked to hand over their food, isn't that equivalent to handing over their lives?

"Then when shall we attack?" Lin Feng asked.

Ji Xiuyuan was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "It's not necessarily us who attacked, it's very likely that they attacked first."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, apparently skeptical about this statement.

But now there is no other way but to go on like this and wait for things to ferment further.

They didn't have to wait long for this fermentation point, and the news came three days later.

All charcoal in Jingzhou City must be handed in, and then distributed collectively by the Sovereign Group established by Liu Ruisi.

The huge gap in charcoal couldn't be covered up after all.

This news was only announced in the main city of Jingzhou. As for the five cities occupied by Ji Xiuyuan, because the coal had been distributed early, the people did not have to worry about life.

After the news of Liu Ruisi was conveyed, it was obvious that he encountered huge opposition.

As for the big family, with the Yang family as the capital, they have not moved, and are watching the changes.

After Lin Feng heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief, because if the Yang family took the lead in agreeing, it would only convey a result to the people.

Hurry up and be obedient, haven't we all compromised yet?

The people resisted, and Liu Ruisi unceremoniously dispatched the army immediately to search for charcoal from every household in a suppressive manner.

In fact, it’s not all handed in. If your family is in the general’s mansion or there are people in the army, you can just put some money in.

But the key to the problem now is that if there is no one, it will not work if you give money.

The situation is becoming tense day by day. The charcoal merchants thought they could make a lot of money, but in the end they lost the most.

Because it's their side that conducts the most serious investigation.

The atmosphere in Jingzhou became tense again.
