203: Xiaocheng chaos (forty-three) [asking for monthly votes](2/2)
The three people of Qi Shan looked at each other, and the atmosphere was quiet.
Shen Tang is so special.
He is healthy, energetic, and powerful... As for his brain, it seems to be quite normal. There are no signs of stupidity yet, which completely breaks their previous common sense.
Gong Shuwu comforted the two gentlemen.
"Perhaps this matter has something to do with the national seal?"
The common sense they know is collected from ordinary people. No king has ever incorporated civil and military energy into his body before... Maybe the national seal is the key to creating special cases?
Since I have no clue, I can only comfort myself like this.
Qishan felt like he was about to sigh out all the energy he had spent in the past year: "If a tree is as beautiful as the forest wind, it will be destroyed. You must not reveal anything about young pears and Wu's courage, at least not yet. Shan is worried that it will cause unnecessary trouble." I am also worried that someone might want to spy on the national seal."
Shen Tang naturally understands the importance.
Life is the most important.
"Well, you can rest assured about this."
Qishan: "..."
No, he can't worry!
After taking care of Shen Tang, he turned his attention to Gong Shuwu.
In Shen Tang's current situation, it would be best for him to have a high-level martial artist to look after him. Before finding a replacement, he did not want Gong Shuwu to leave. With just one look from him, Gong Shuwu understood Qi without saying anything. Seven, eight, eight.
So, he nodded towards Qi Shan.
Some tacit understandings need not be expressed in words.
He is not an ungrateful person. After receiving so much care and help, it is of course his duty to use him now.
Shen Tang murmured softly.
"Maybe it's not as bad as you think..."
After all, he is a time traveler with rare attributes. He has no portable system, no portable space, thirdly, no portable spiritual spring, and fourthly, no portable grandfather. He is not invincible at the beginning and is a big boss all over the map. He just has an extra person with both civil and military skills. Goldfinger!
Is this too much?
Not too much!
Very beaver!
Qi Shan looked at Mr. Shen, who looked absent-minded, and suddenly felt tired. He sincerely felt that this young Mr. Shen was much more troublesome than all the previous "lords" put together. At least those "lords" would not Frequently surprise him with surprises.
He said: "Don't place your hope in 'maybe'."
This kind of uncertainty is the most unreliable.
Chu Yao was also secretly worried.
My destiny is really a fool, how can I still play this???
It is precisely because of this that he will live in the shadow of "Wuro turned into a fool overnight" for a long time in the future.
Shen·Shadow Maker·Tang said: "Let's think about it from another angle. Maybe my brain is already at the level of an idiot. Then I don't have to worry, right? Believe in yourself and me!"
Qishan: "..."
Chu Yao: "..."
Gong Shuwu: "..."
The eyes of the three people are very subtle.
Listen, there is some truth to it. Shen Xiaolangjun/Wulang/Shen Wulang is indeed not very smart at times.
Shen Tang, whose original intention was to brag about himself: "..."
But what do you three look like?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Do you really think she is mentally retarded!!!
What she means is - she has gone through the halo of wisdom and still has an IQ at the level of an ordinary person. Before she had the wisdom, she must have been a genius among geniuses. Only then can she obtain the unprecedented golden finger of both civil and military cultivation!
This is definitely not admitting that I am really mentally retarded!
Shen Tang was so angry that Qi Shan and the others had a heart attack.
However, she soon stopped caring about this.
The rebels outside the city regularly dumped corpses into the city at fixed points.
Although Wu Yuan and Gu Chi used the manpower left by the former governor Yan Cheng to maintain order in the city, many people were still forced to collapse by this operation. In addition to the disorder, there was also a serious problem before them. Food shortage began.
The price of food at the food store has doubled in just a few days!
There was a shortage of food for sale, and there was not much food stored at home. Coupled with the instigation of caring people, many people soon chose to take risks.
Some stole and robbed neighbors, or gathered crowds to attack rice shops. The police officers patrolled everywhere, but they could not suppress this unhealthy trend.
The people were short of food, and the garrison that defended the city was even more short.
Shen Tang almost choked on his saliva when he heard the news: "No one can be short of soldiers to defend the city if there is a food shortage. It is impossible for the grain depot to not have emergency food for war preparations. Can't we use it for emergencies?"
Apparently the autumn harvest has just passed.
Even if the harvest is not good, new rice will be put into storage.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chi revealed an unexpected truth: "It should be like this, but today I took people to check the grain depot and found that not only this year's new rice, but also the old grain stored in the past, only had 30% left." , there is a huge gap with the accounts!”
The new rice is nowhere to be seen.
In previous years, the amount of old rice was also reduced by 70%.
There's a lot of intrigue here.
Shen Tang asked: "Why didn't you notice it before?"
Gu Chi: "How can we find out? Shen Lang thinks that I am a god with three heads and six arms? In such a big Xiaocheng, there are too many places to take care of. Just one person is not enough. How can I have the energy to check after others have carefully settled the accounts? "False accounts? We had plenty of food before, so we dispatched soldiers to defend the city."
When he found that the available food was insufficient for seven days, the people in the city began to lack food. When he was about to open the grain depot for a while, he found that the grain depot was empty, and even the mice were too lazy to visit.
Some of the remaining 30% old rice was damp and moldy.
Judging from the color and smell, this batch of old rice is three years old.
Oh, it’s a good thing that the former county governor escaped quickly because he rubbed oil on his feet, otherwise the grain depot would have been enough for his whole family!
Without food, and without the enemy throwing corpses to create an atmosphere of terror and despair, the people in the city would be completely in chaos.
Shen Tang: "...it's useless even if you look at me..."
Let her supply dozens of mouths, and the cakes will be enough, but thousands of garrison troops and tens of thousands of people will not be able to drain her flesh and blood.
Gu Chi rubbed his brow.
He didn't expect to get a solution from Shen Tang.
In fact, he, like Wu Yuan, was not very concerned about Xiaocheng's final fate - in the face of the absolute strength of the rebels, all the city's efforts were in vain and stalled for time.
Why are you talking to Shen Tang about this...
Because it was Shen Talkative Lang who started the topic first!
Chapter completed!
