Chapter 52: Fixing the Storm
The outside of the county government office.
"Isn't that serious?" Wu Chengen was sweating anxiously.
"The Gunners are all dispatched, and they can't make any waves." Xu Wei pouted disappreciatively and said, "Isn't it just a few mobs robbing grain shops?" Just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys. ”
"I'm not worried about the grain store, it's a rumor!" Wu Chengen sat at the other end of the kang shop, his fingers tapped on the small machine, and said with a stern expression:
"The riots on Dongtang Street can be quelled, but the rumors of food shortages can't be suppressed, and it will spread throughout the city within a day, and throughout the county within three days. At that time, the gods will not be able to control the situation! ”
"Look at it, that's the problem with writing books, it's so alarmist." Xu Wei plucked out his ears, blew his little finger and said: "Sesame mung beans are a little bigger, when you say it from your mouth, the sky is falling." Admire, admire, admire. ”
"Sesame mung bean big?" Wu Chengen smiled angrily and crossed his arms and said. "I almost forgot, you Xu Wenchang are the masterminds of the anti-Japanese war; Ji Wang Zhi is straight, and Zhi Duoxing, who traps Xu Hai. Of course, this little thing in Kunshan County is not eye-catching. ”
"Let's just put it that way." Xu Wei lay flat, his arms pillowed with both hands, and sighed: "Life is really lonely like snow......
"Don't brag, you have the ability to show me anything. Let the old man see, do you have real skills? Wu Chengen glanced at him.
"Isn't it a radical method?" Xu Wei crossed Erlang's legs and said, "It's useless, unless you promise to update me with a chapter." ”
"Shameless!" Wu Chengen said angrily: "Sacred writing cannot be used to make dirty deals!" ”
After a pause, he said discouragedly: "Let's make an exception for the people of Kunshan." ”
"Hahaha, wouldn't it be over if you said it earlier?" Xu Wei sat up and instructed the guard with an excited expression:
"Tell Kim that the ban is strictly enforced. First, all the rioters who snatched rice were to be whipped and then put to death for ten days. ”
"Second, all the rice shop owners who raise prices should also be flailed together."
"Three, confiscate all the instruments of the crime."
"Yes!" The guard snapped and saluted, turning away.
"Damn, you're so shameless." When the guard went out, Wu Chengen pointed at Xu Wei and scolded with a smile: "Confiscate the tools of the crime, you can figure it out." ”
"A lot of times, the same thing, in another way, is completely different in nature." Xu Wenchang said with rich experience: "For example, which sister's body are you greedy for, and directly say that I want to sleep with you, that is a villain in the sex." But you have to say, I wish I could open my eyes tomorrow morning and see you smiling at me in the morning sun. That's called the affectionate prodigal. ”
"But you're just a lewd fat man now!" Wu Chengen ruthlessly pierced Xu Wei's self-absorption.
"It's not interesting for you to say that." Xu Wei felt very sad when he heard this, and said in his heart that there was only one egg. He lay on his side against the wall, angry. "There is no kind person who writes books."
"How can a kind-hearted person write a book?" Wu Chengen patted him on the shoulder with a smile and asked again, "You haven't said how to quell the rumors." ”
"Don't say it, suffocate you." Xu Wei snorted.
"If you do, I'll write a thousand words right now." The brine points to tofu, one thing drops one thing, and Wu Chengen specializes in Xu Wenchang.
"That's fine." Xu Wei really sat up and said to Wu Chengen with a smile: "It's very simple, the predecessors have already had a way, just grab the medicine according to the prescription." ”
"What's the method?"
"One is called 'Dong Zhuo enters the city', and the other is called 'Liu Xiu earns the city'." Xu Wei thief laughed and explained in detail.
"Excellent!" Wu Chengen couldn't help but give a thumbs up, turned around and went to hand it over.
"Let's go write a book." Seeing this, Xu Wei urged.
"Oh, got it." Wu Chengen only responded and did not move. "Let's get down to business first."
"Liar." Xu Wen fell back in a huff, and in the future, he had to let Wu Chengen deliver the goods first and then give him an idea.

on Dongtang Street.
Jin Ke listened to the words of the guards in Caijia Lane, and immediately asked several rice shop owners to be tied up.
"Why do you want to tie us up?" The rice shop owners were busy shouting.
"You are waiting to raise prices and hoard, violating the first article of the flood ban!" Jin Ke snorted coldly and said: "According to the ban, he will be in the flail for ten days, and he will be listed as a monument of shame!" Take! ”
The people in the gunman camp are all poor, and they are happy to see that these black-hearted grain merchants are unlucky. The more famine there is every year, the more they deliberately do not sell food, and it is long overdue to cure it.
The gunmen immediately pounced, pinned several rice shop owners to the ground, and tied them up with hemp rope.
Then Jin Ke called a catcher aside and asked in a low voice, "What does it mean to confiscate the tools of the crime?" Are the thugs empty-handed? I won't cut off their hands. ”
"Hehe, the battalion commander has a fork." The quick but treacherous and treacherous one whispered: "The meaning of the above, I'm afraid it refers to the rice merchants hoarding Juqi's tools of crime, right?" ”
"Oh." Jin Ke suddenly slapped his forehead. "Definitely yes."
At such times, rice is more useful than silver.
He waved his hand again and ordered: "Confiscate the hoarded materials!" ”
"Yes!" The gunmen brought grain out of several rice shops and pushed carts to transport it to the storage warehouse.
The five stores combined, there were actually 3,000 stones, more than the county's inventory, and it was transported until dark.
The common people all ran to the street to watch the excitement, pointing at the grain trucks one after another, scolding the profiteers for not being things, but actually hoarding so much grain and raising the price and reluctant to sell it.
The old man with a goatee and the middle-aged man with a big mole also mixed in the crowd, watching the officials wield cowhide whips and whip the mob of food in public.
There are also a few rice merchants wearing shackles and kneeling under the eight-character wall......
Shaking his head, the old man withdrew from the crowd, and the big mole came out.
"It's a quick response." Goatee was surprised and said, "Sophisticated, ruthless, and shameless." The surname Zhao is not like the first time to be the magistrate of the county. ”
"There's no means, and he doesn't deserve to make our uncle hold a grudge." The big man nodded and said: "He got all the officials on the embankment, and all the people in the county have the final say, so it's too difficult for us to make a trip." ”
"It doesn't matter." Goatee, chuckled and said: "You just continue to spread the news, as long as the whole county knows about the supply cut, he Zhao Shouzheng can't hold back even if he is an immortal." ”
"Hey, okay." The big mole nodded and said, "I'll talk to those families when I go back, and give him eye medicine together......"
Before the words fell, I heard the sound of the bell ringing. A servant shouted along the street:
"The county has sufficient food and stable supply, and 2,000 stone of grain is delivered every day, which is enough for the people of the county to eat, no need to panic, no need to rush to buy!"
As if to prove the words of the officials, five large grain ships of 400 materials slowly sailed in from Liuhui Gate and passed through the city along Zhihetang.
Seeing the flat-bottomed cargo ships piled high with grain, the waterline was almost flush with the ship's side, and the people on the shore cheered with relief.
"Didn't you say that not a grain of grain was allowed to be transported into Kunshan?" Seeing this, the big mole almost frightened the mole.
"Hell." The goatee stared at the 'Wu Ji' banner on the grain ship, and gritted his teeth for a while. "The girl surnamed Ye is so bold!"
