This matter made a big fuss, and it inevitably reached Nie Xun's ears.

Nie Xun looked straight ahead in a daze after hearing this, his pupils were blank, and the little soldier who returned hung his head in fear, feeling uneasy.

After a while, Nie Xun didn't move, and the little soldier had the courage to secretly raise his head, only to see Nie Xun covering his shoulders with one hand, and holding the table with the other, his finger knuckles turned white from exertion, and fine sweat appeared on his pale and blood-lost forehead. Xiao Bing was stunned, his sharp eyes saw that the clothes on Nie Xun's shoulders were oozing red and black blood, he couldn't care much, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Nie Xun, and the other party fell to the side with all his strength.

"Medic - Medic - Come !!"

Nie Xun's old injury recurred, and the wound on his shoulder that had not healed long collapsed again, but fortunately, the cracked wound was not long, otherwise it would be troublesome.

The military doctor helped Nie Xun treat the wound and prescribed medicine for the apprentice to grab the medicine and boil the medicine, and Nie Xun also woke up leisurely.

"The military advisor is awake?"

The adjutant who was guarding the bed shouted, and several other people also gathered around, and everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Nie Xun's face was pale, and his eyes were a little confused, and it took a while to retrieve his memories before he fell into a coma.

His mood was very calm, and his tone was weak to reassure everyone, "I'm fine, just cultivate for two days." ”

A certain lieutenant general said indignantly, "If it weren't for those profiteers who took the opportunity to make a fortune and wantonly raise the price of grain, how could the military advisor faint in anger?"

"Businessmen seek profit, and there are few people who have a heart. This is a villain who sees money and sees money, just make money, how can he care about other things?"

The situation in Chenzhou is not good, those businessmen are not afraid of death to confuse a puddle of water and take the opportunity to make war money, they are really a group of black-hearted ghosts!

"They are short-sighted, they only know that they are profitable, they are uncles, where can they worry so much?"

Several lieutenant generals expressed their indignation, eager to send troops to slaughter all the black-hearted merchants in the city who were driving up the price of grain.

The men became more and more angry, and their voices rose higher until the military doctor interrupted them.

"Generals, the military advisor needs to recuperate at this time, and it is not appropriate to be noisy and noisy, if you have anything to do, you can come back tomorrow. ”

Nie Xun's thin hand reached out of the futon, and he waved it weakly, signaling that the military doctor didn't need to say much.

He asked weakly, "How's the situation outside?"

A certain lieutenant came out and replied, "The rice shop still refuses to let go, and the price of grain has risen by 10%. ”

Since the news of the shortage of grain in Chenzhou came out, rice merchants who hoarded grain smelled business opportunities and took the opportunity to raise prices and sell old rice at high prices.

There were not many sailors sent by Feng Jin, but it was the rice merchants in Chenzhou who volunteered to help and became free tap water.

While fanning the flames and causing food shortages, they peddled old rice piled up in warehouses at high prices.

At this time, the price of grain was several times higher than usual, which was sky-high, and it had long exceeded the purchasing power of ordinary families.

Even so, food is still in short supply, and it is basically snapped up by irrational people as soon as it is put on the shelves.

The people who did not have grain reserves rushed to buy them, and the people who had grain reserves also followed the crowd and tried to grab more.

The streets near the rice shop were crowded with panicked people, and there was more than one stampede.

Nie Xun was also so angry that his old injury recurred.

Seeing that Nie Xun didn't speak, the deputy general couldn't help but say, "Strategist, what should I do now?"

Nie Xun asked him, "What is the reason?"

If there is no suitable reason to arrest people, is this not a disguised admission of food shortage?

An unconfirmed rumor made the people so crazy, if it is confirmed, the whole Chenzhou will really be over.

The deputy general was red-faced and red-eared when asked by Nie Xun, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time, he really didn't know what reason to use to arrest people.

Another said, "Shouldn't these profiteers take advantage of the chaos to raise the price of food?"

"Catch, naturally, you have to catch, but you can't use this reason. Nie Xun half-closed his eyes weakly, and said weakly, "These merchants are selling old rice from previous years, so it is better to use another reason - for example, in order to sell hoarded old rice and reduce losses, the merchants spread rumors about the shortage of grain in Chenzhou and tricked the people into buying grain." How's that going?"

Several people were happy on their faces, this reason is good, not only can they clean up those businessmen openly, but also throw the black pot of rumors on the businessmen, blurring the current situation of food shortage in Chenzhou. As long as the people's hearts settle down and the people don't make trouble, Chenzhou can last for a month or two!

A certain lieutenant general said, "It can be delayed for a while, and then there will be an autumn harvest in one or two months, when the new rice will be harvested, and the grain shortage will be solved." ”

Nie Xun nodded slightly, and everyone saw that his eyebrows were tired, and they chose to leave with a look in their eyes.

When they were all gone, Nie Xun opened his eyes instead, and a bit of mockery flashed in his eyes.

What about delaying the autumn harvest?

Chenzhou has been in war for several years, and the grain harvest in the territory cannot be raised, and there is no way to plug such a big grain gap.

If Huang Song supports some, maybe there will be a chance.

However, Huang Song gave up Chen Zhou, otherwise, why did Nie Xun send someone to send a message to Huang Song and not reply for so long?

As smart as him, he had already guessed Huang Song's decision, but he couldn't tell the truth to others.

Chen Zhou was already in turmoil, and if the soldiers below knew about it, it would collapse overnight.

Nie Xun's response policy reached Feng Jin's ears, and he said with a smile, "Nie Chengyun's reaction is not slow. ”

Meng Hun shook his head and said, "It is said that when he heard the news, he was so angry that his old injury recurred, and he didn't know how long this body could last." ”

Feng Jin said, "There's still a little bit of fire missing." ”

Meng Hun was surprised, "Lack of heat?"

Feng Jin smiled, "Our chance has come. ”

At this time, it is natural to fan the flames and add fuel to the fire, so that Nie Xun has no time to take care of anything else.

According to Nie Xun's idea, the rice merchants in Chenzhou who raised grain prices and spread rumors were arrested, and the confiscated grain was sold to the people cheaply.

Many people bought food, and other people who were still waiting and watching suddenly lost the idea of rushing to buy, and the rumors were self-defeating.

Nie Xun knows very well that this is just a symptom but not a cure, and after a long time, the people will still find clues.

In order to stabilize the political situation, Nie Xun had to deal with government affairs with injuries, and he had less than two hours of rest every day.

The military doctor tried to dissuade him many times, so he could only let Nie Xun go.

Since the old injury collapsed, Nie Xun's condition has come and gone.

It's not that the military doctor can't do it, it's just that Nie Xun's patient doesn't follow the doctor's instructions at all.

Late that night, Nie Xun's body began to heat up again, and she slept groggily for half a night, and when she woke up, the room was dark.

He tried to speak, but his dry throat could not make a sound, and he could only sit up with great difficulty and walk out the door with one step at a time.

Nie Xun raised his hand and wiped his hot face, even his breath was hot.

"What's that—"

He struggled to open his sleepy eyes, and found that the distant canopy of heaven was stained with an orange light.

"It's out of the water—"
