Take the lead in robbing food

Take the lead in robbing food

Shu Yan vaguely heard two acquaintances from this person's words.

Cheng San looked here and whispered: "Godmother, we take the most dangerous road every time. What is the reason?"

Shu Yan was so hungry that she couldn't do it. She was too lazy to answer Cheng San's question, so she said to the few people: "Can you borrow a bowl of water to drink?"

The man asked someone to get two bowls of water into the house and handed it to three people.

The water was turbid and tasted extremely bitter. Zhang Shengzi looked bad. The man hurriedly explained: "There are saline-alkali land everywhere here, and it is already very deep well water. The good wells were touched by the wealthy families in the east of the city. We ordinary people cannot get water."

Shu Yan was immediately angry when he heard this.

"There was no riot, and I took away the men's skin?"

Shu Yan's words were too violent, even Zhang Shengzi looked down at her.

The man was so scared that his chin shrank slightly.

"Who dares to provoke them?"

However, Cheng San gave Shu Yan a popular science. Most of the wealthy families basically had their own private soldiers. This was fashionable in the early years of this dynasty and was not allowed. Later, the dog emperor lacked money and opened an opening to discuss the crime and donate.

The world is so uneasy, so many families of aristocratic families have raised many private soldiers. These private soldiers are well eaten and used, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than regular soldiers.

Even if the civilians are hungry, they will be dead when they are besieged.

After hearing this, Shu Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The court is like this, it would be strange if the world is not in chaos.

Shu Yan continued to ask, "Then are there any managers in this city?"

The man said, "It's General Sun. He is the son-in-law of the Sun family in this city. He's amazing. You guys should go quickly. It's dark, and there are more bad people on the road."

Everyone has already spoken, so Shu Yan and others are naturally inconvenient to stay for more.

The three of them left their door, and a gust of wind blew outside. It was early summer, but there was a little chill inside.

Zhang Shengzi turned his head and looked at the locked door.

"These aristocratic families have vision and know how to station troops in advance, but the wealthy families in our Hangzhou only know how to store gold, silver and treasures in their homes."

When Zhang Shengzi said this, he looked at Shu Yan, with some suspicion in his eyes, and Shu Yan coughed lightly.

"It's not that simple. The King of Han may not be willing to really keep these great tribes stationed troops from now on. Let's go and investigate first. I always have to get some dry food. I can't even walk the hungry road."

Shu Yan always complained about the difficulty of losing weight in his previous life, but he was really old enough to eat. No matter how prone to fat people, he could lose weight, even if he was a person with a physical condition, he could lose weight.

The wind and sand blew through Shu Yan's sleeves, and she felt that she had lost weight again.

After half an hour, the few people walked from the residence of ordinary people to the east of the city. The east of the city was indeed different. There were shops on the street, but there were few places to sell food. Even if they were sold, they could not afford to pay.

After finally finding a hotel, Zhang Shengzi took the lead and walked in. He was so handsome that he was really fierce.

Shu Yan said, "Boss, please serve us some food. I'm really hungry all the way."

The boss saw Shu Yan and others' outfits, and said, "Now there is only wine in this store, and there is really no food for food."

Zhang Shengzi naturally didn't believe it. He slapped the boss away and ran to the kitchen, but saw a half-year-old child steaming things. Zhang Shengzi opened the steamer and saw that Guanyin soil was steaming inside.

Seeing them like this, the child suddenly looked scared.

Zhang Shengzi walked out the door with a gloomy face and saw the boss's bitter face. He said, "Then give me a jar of wine to quench my thirst."

The boss hurried to move the wine. The boss brought it up and murmured to himself: "If I knew this year was so difficult, I wouldn't waste food and make wine last year."

Zhang Shengzi opened the jar and poured four glasses of wine each. Shu Yan took a sip and felt uncomfortable all over, but he was hungry and thirsty. He didn't know what happened to the children outside the city.

Although I kept some food, I couldn't last long.

Shu Yan asked, "Boss, do you know where to buy food?"

The boss sighed and said, "Yes, the Sun family's grain shop has 50,000 copper coins per kilogram of flour."

Shu Yan was shocked. Five thousand copper coins, which was the only way to take a cart of copper coins to two meals?!

The boss sighed, "How many people should pay?"

Shu Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and she took out the copper coins left by the old woman from her arms and put them on the table.

When the boss saw the copper coins, he was immediately embarrassed. He pulled Shu Yan to a room and looked at it.

"So many copper coins? This..."

The boss said with a sad face: "The White Lotus Sect King Han said it well, and it is true that everyone is giving money, but no one can buy anything. I don't know how many people starved to death in the city... But the Sun family made a lot of money."

Shu Yan looked at the room full of copper coins and was immediately helpless.

Well, they were wondering why the White Lotus Sect and the King of Han made their fortune so quickly. They were jointly issuing currency. The local productivity was insufficient and the goods outside could not be transported in, which led to a complete collapse of the local economy.

After drinking, the few people walked to the street with their fill of stomachs, followed the way the boss pointed them to them, and walked towards that place.

After walking a few steps, I saw a long line winding towards me.

Everyone carries a few sacks of money on their backs, and even holds something similar to a silver note in their hands. At the front is a grain store.

Cheng San ran quickly with Shu Yan on his back and rushed straight to the front.

Shu Yan looked closely and found that the high grain piled up in the grain shop. He was about to poke his head forward, but was scolded by more than a dozen private soldiers guarding the side.

"Are you looking for death? Get back and queue up."

It happened to be an old man's turn to buy food. He took out stacks of paper money from his arms and said tremblingly: "This is what the White Lotus Queen praised me in the past... a piece of paper is worth ten thousand yuan..."

The private soldier kicked the man down with one kick.

"Only copper coins count, your broken paper is worth nothing."

The old man lay on the ground and said dyingly: "Please, I have a newborn child in my family 1"

The private soldier pulled out the knife from his hand and was about to chop the old man.

Shu Yan glanced at Zhang Shengzi who had already been on the verge of her head, and she whispered: "Cut him for me!"

Zhang Shengzi took out an axe from behind and cut the private soldier into two pieces. Blood gushed out. Shu Yan shouted loudly: "The food here is originally everyone's land! All the big dogs deserve to die!"

Shu Yan jumped off Cheng San, maybe two taels of wine were drunk, and she became excited. She took out the crutch behind her and shot the person in front.

This is live ammunition, and the private soldiers in front of them suddenly became so intestine that they were rotten.
