Five-flowered horse, Qingfeng sword, infinite rivers and mountains,

A trip by night, a journey by day, the stars and the moon rotate,

Patrol the south and go north, leisurely everything,

Who can judge good and evil in the world,

Patrol the south and go north, leisurely everything,

It is impossible to escape the world,

…………………………

Xiao Yi remembered that an emperor in later generations liked to pay private interviews and observe the people's feelings, and he couldn't see things when he sat on the dragon chair, but he could see the things that he could see when he walked the people, so as to formulate national policies, refresh the rule of officials, and create a generation of prosperous dynasties!

Xiao Yi took off his full uniform, changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes, wore a hat, tied hemp rope around his waist, held a long whip, and disguised himself as a coachman, and the second disciple Hao Zhao was dressed in a small hat, sitting on the other side of the carriage, as an accompanying servant!

Zhao Yu and Daoxiang were dressed in costumes, full of pearls, sitting in the car as wives, the happiest was Deng Ai, wearing the clothes of Da Afu, holding a snack box in his arms, sitting between the two masters, looking like a rich young master, looking very cute!

Cao Xing and Xiaobin led hundreds of personal soldiers, wearing soft armor and hiding sharp blades, and also disguised as merchants, hawkers, porters, and coolies...... Spread around the carriage and secretly protect the safety of the Great Sima so that he will not encounter any more assassins!

"Drive! --Wheel! Wheel! ”

After everything was ready, Xiao Yi waved his long whip and drove the carriage straight to Dongguan, which is the largest market in Yecheng, with many shops, business travelers, thousands of industries, everything, and the largest grain distribution center!

When Cao's army invaded the city, some generals proposed to lead troops to loot Dongguanfang City, and it was good to make a windfall, but it was forcibly forbidden by Cao Cao and Xiao Yi, and it was not allowed to move a brick and tile inside.

"Uncle is okay, hire a few long-term workers, the villain is strong, can pick and carry, work more and eat less!"

"The twelve-year-old yellow flower girl can cook, wash, and warm the bed, as long as she takes care of the food, and she doesn't need a penny's salary!"

…………………………

It's already the cold season, the north wind is howling, dripping into ice, and the birds in the sky are gone, but in the streets and alleys, there are still hundreds of people, ragged, yellow and thin, running around for a bite to eat!

Seeing the double cart coming, these people rushed up, some reached out to beg, some sold themselves into slavery, and some put teenage girls desperately into the carriage, hoping to enter the big family as slaves, so that they could eat a full mouthful!

Natural and man-made disasters, the situation is turbulent, countless refugees poured into Yecheng, although Cao Ying did his best to relieve, but unfortunately the food is insufficient, it is difficult to cover everything, there are still people who can't eat, and even die of cold and starvation!

"Smack! -Syllable! --It's all scattered! ”

Hao Zhao was born as a refugee, and at this time, his compassion was overflowing, and he was about to take out the scattered silver in his arms and distribute it to the surrounding people, but he was stopped by Xiao Yi, and he flicked the whip a few times, and rushed out in a carriage!

The crowd was frightened, and immediately dispersed, looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, some people sighed gloomily, some people cried, and some people spat wildly, the more rich and noble people are, the more they are a dime!

"The ancients had a saying: be a man with a chivalrous heart, take it as your responsibility to save the needy, just encountered refugees begging, why don't we help?"

Hao Zhao's eyes were slightly red, and he asked in a low voice, his heart was full of puzzlement, could it be that the master he just worshipped was really a cold-blooded person?

"What you said is not wrong, you should have a chivalrous heart, but do you want to teach you another sentence today: 'The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, the little man of chivalry, eliminate violence and peace', you will be a hero in the future? Or is it a little man? ”

Although Xiao Yat kills people like hemp, his hard work has never been cold, how can he not help the weak, as for what he did just now, there are two reasons:

First, the order of the streets is too chaotic, as long as Hao Zhao distributes the silver, the people will inevitably gather over, you fight for me, fight, maybe there will be deaths, and good deeds will become bad things!

Second, when the people gather together, the roads will be blocked, and the carriages will not be able to move an inch, and what we have to do today is related to millions of lives.

As a superior person - judging the situation, his heart is like an iron stone, he does not seek small benevolence and righteousness, he only thinks about the common people in the world, for the lives of millions of refugees, not to mention dispersing dozens of people, what is it to kill dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people?

Because of this, the heroes in history, such as Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, are often infamous through the ages, and the history books only record how they killed people, but they forget how many Li people were saved behind the killings!

"The words of the master's teaching, the disciples keep it in mind, and they must carefully figure it out, and strive to be a chivalrous man!"

Hao Zhao thought for a moment and nodded slightly, but looking at the refugees on the street, he was still full of pity, heroes are also great evils, not everyone can do it!

……………………………………………………………………

"Long! --Prosperous! Prosperous! ”

After a while, the city of Dongguanfang arrived, and the streets were full of shops, blacksmith shops, silk shops, furniture shops, candle shops, pasting shops...... There is everything, it is very lively, and the shops together do not have as many people as the grain and rice stores!

Yecheng has a population of more than 300,000 people, many industries, and a detailed division of labor, and only a small part of the peasants, more are officials, merchants, craftsmen, diligent walkers, and coolies...... Therefore, the people do not make a living from farming, so they have no habit of storing grain, and generally buy as they eat, enough for the whole family for a month or two!

If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, this habit is nothing, there is no fear of being able to buy food, and it can also liberate a large number of laborers, promote the development of all walks of life, and then prosper and prosper in all industries!

But when it came to troubled times, the situation was not very good, and Yecheng experienced military disasters, floods, and snow disasters successively...... The countryside was ruined, the grain harvest was poor, self-sufficiency was difficult, and hundreds of thousands of refugees poured in, and it was inevitable that the food rations would be insufficient, and then the 'rice tide!' ’

"Drive! --Drive! Drive! ”

Xiao Yi drove forward, found the largest grain and rice store, and stopped in a nearby hidden place, which is called 'Zhen Ji Rice Shop', which is the industry of the Zhen family, Jizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, and the water conservancy is complete, it is a famous grain production area, and the pillar industry of the Zhen family is to sell grain, raise silkworms and weave cloth!

"Open the door, hurry up and open the door, we've been waiting all night just to buy some food!"

"The shopkeeper's line is okay, there is no rice to cook at home, and if you don't open the door, you will starve to death!"

……………………

It's already three poles in the morning, the rice shop hasn't opened yet, the front is crowded with people, I'm afraid there are thousands of people, all holding rice bags, carrying baskets, looking very anxious, and tired!

In the conspicuous position of the rice shop, there is also a white wooden sign with the inscription in ink: 'A bucket of corn is 5,000 yuan, the goods are genuine, and there is no credit!' ’

You know, in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, a bucket of corn was only eighty dollars, even if there was a famine, war, it was only a bucket of a few hundred dollars, when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the chaos of the dynasty, Luoyang City - Dou Rice Thousand Dollars, is already appalling, now a bucket of rice 5,000 dollars, from ancient times to the present, has not seen the annals!

Ordinary people work hard for a year, and they only earn more than a dozen copper coins, about two buckets of corn, barely enough for one person to eat for a month, in the face of such high food prices, it is strange if they don't starve to death!

"What are the damn poor ghosts called, if you annoy Uncle Ben, you will close the door for three days and three nights, you must starve your whole family to death, the poorer you are, the more things will happen!"

In a vicious cursing, a middle-aged man walked out of the side door of the rice shop, with a short figure, a big belly, and a pair of blister toad eyes, full of greed and cunning, it was Zhen Gui, the shopkeeper of the rice shop!

Zhen Gui is the son of the slave of the Zhen family, the slave follows the master's surname, so the surname is Zhen, he is exquisite, treacherous, and good at meeting the masters, so he got a fat difference, and is responsible for a 'Zhen Ji rice shop'...... Do anything bad!

After walking out of the rice shop, Zhen Gui was not in a hurry to sell grain, but asked someone to bring a bucket of water, scrub off the handwriting on the wooden card, and rewrite the price of grain: 5,500 yuan for a bucket of rice!

5,000 copper coins is the price set by the masters, and the remaining 500 copper coins are Zhen Gui's own benefits, as long as this business is done, he can buy a mansion, buy a carriage, hire dozens of servants, and marry more than a dozen beautiful wives and concubines, and taste the taste of being a master!

"The price of rice has risen again, and if it continues like this, I can only take the whole family to the refugee camp to mix rice soup and drink!"

"When the Yuan family was in power, our life was not easy, and now that the Cao family is in power, our life is also not easy!"

…………………………

Seeing that the price of rice had risen again, the people sighed and cursed those in power, only knowing how to conquer the city and not caring about their life or death, but no matter how fierce the scolding was, none of them left

One: People are iron, rice is steel, a meal does not eat hunger, many people have a break in their homes, adults make children cry, and if they don't buy some food back, they will really starve to death!

Second: The price of grain rises three times a day, just like a monkey climbing a tree, if you don't buy it now, the price of grain will rise in the afternoon, and it is possible to fight rice for 6,000, 7,000, or even 10,000!

Years of war, the people are not happy, the people have no money to spare, so they have to use some gold and silver utensils, ancestral antiques instead, the grain store will take the opportunity to suppress, can give half of the price thank God!

As for the corn they bought, it was old, damp, moldy and spoiled, and mixed with a lot of sand, stones, and mouse droppings...... I was disgusted when I watched it, and I wanted to vomit when I smelled it, but I hugged it tightly in my arms, ready to take it back to save my life!

"Looting the people, for the sake of the rich and unkind, the Zhen family has degenerated to this point, it is really time to clean it up, and it will be easier for my son to sit in the position of the head of the family in the future!"

Xiao Yi sat in the carriage, he saw the tricks of the profiteers clearly, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes, the position of the head of the Zhen family was originally reserved for his second son, and now it was time to start!

wrote through the Jin Ge Iron Horse, the business war is very unprofessional, and it is difficult to write...... Whining!
