Chapter 441: Killing the Profiteer (II)
The grain merchant rents a very large yard, and a lot of granaries are temporarily built in the courtyard, but there are not many people who guard them, only more than 40 people, after all, there are too many grain merchants who come to Lingnan Road to sell grain this time, and after they are scattered to various places, there is a shortage of manpower.

Lu Yun climbed the courtyard wall and looked into the courtyard, and found that there were more than a dozen grain stacks, covering the courtyard, like a maze, the grain here added up, there are definitely 10,000 stones, if so much grain is scattered to the victims of Liuzhou, it is enough for the victims of Liuzhou to eat for two or three months.
Lu Yun beckoned downward, and the more than twenty elite soldiers he brought climbed up the wall one after another, and then jumped into the courtyard lightly.
More than forty guards stood around the grain stack, closely watching, Lu Yun wandered between the grain stacks alone, like a ghost, encountered one to kill the other, quietly, like a ghost, just a moment, all the guards guarding the grain turned into corpses, and the courtyard door was also opened, more than 300 victims quietly poured into the courtyard.
Lu Yun said in a low voice: "Kill a few leaders in the room first, and then move the grain." ”
Everyone nodded one after another, without making a sound, under the leadership of Lu Yun, they came to the door of the room, without saying too much, the victims poured into the three rooms at the same time, rushed in and faced the bed is a stick and axe, smashing the people on the bed into a blur of flesh and blood, venting their hatred for this ** businessman.
Lu Yun inspected the yard again, and after confirming that there was no one alive, he asked the victims to start moving grain.
Because they had prepared in advance and used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, on the left and right streets, those patrols were mediating disputes, and several victims were fighting there, seriously disturbing the people, so they had to take care of it.
And Lu Yun took the opportunity to take people to move the grain to the place where they gathered, or the abandoned yard, they had few people, they couldn't move much, a few trips back and forth, only to move about 50,000 catties of grain, the victims still wanted to move, but were stopped by Lu Yun, because the strategy of moving the tiger away from the mountain could not last too long, otherwise it would be easy to show the horse's feet.
Lu Yun locked the courtyard where the grain merchant lived, then returned to the hiding place, and began to let everyone change their freshness and clothes, preparing for leaving the city the next day.
Early the next morning, Lu Yun took hundreds of disaster victims to push a large number of carts, transport grain, and play the banner of a caravan, and went out of the city, and now all the disaster victims have changed into good clothes, and they have all been deliberately freshened, and they don't look like disaster victims at all, so they can easily go out of the city.
The other 200 victims also went out of the city and joined Lu Yun in the disaster area, Lu Yun distributed 50,000 catties of food to the victims, and then fled with the 300 victims, as for the locked courtyard, the corpses were still all over the ground, when the government would notice, this was not within Lu Yun's consideration.
Liuzhou Thorn Shi felt very strange that the profiteers who made him hate so much did not come out to sell grain in the past two days, the courtyard was closed and locked, and many people gathered outside the door waiting for them to sell grain.
Gradually, Liuzhou Thorn Shi noticed that something was wrong, and the victims outside the city suddenly had food, they provided their own food, asked the government to make a pot, and helped them make porridge, where did the food of the victims come from?
Liuzhou Thorn Shi thought about it, suddenly thought of a terrible speculation, quickly sent someone to smash the lock of the grain merchant's yard, after entering, only to see that the courtyard was full of corpses, already stinking, the corpses in the room were even more miserable, smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, unrecognizable, completely unrecognizable, provoked a lot of flies, these people have obviously been dead for several days, but there is still a lot of food in the courtyard, there are as many as ten thousand stones.
Liuzhou Thorn Shi was shocked into a cold sweat, this is a riot and murder of the victims, such a big event happened under his rule, how to do it, it must not be hidden, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to temporarily collect these grains in the treasury and temporarily transfer them to help the victims.
Why do you want to do this, because he wants to make meritorious service, as long as he keeps the victims from dying, it is a meritorious service, and the credit is not small, with this merit, he can completely use it to offset his own mistakes, besides, he can write on the fold when the time comes, and the profiteers raise the price of rice ten times, causing the victims to be angry and killed by the victims......
Anyway, if you write these profiteers a little worse, and if you write them dead, your own guilt will be lighter, in fact, this ** businessman deserves it, and he is innocent of death.
This incident in Liuzhou is not a special case, in the major states and counties of Lingnan Province, the same thing is happening one after another, and the handling methods of the thorn history in each state are also similar, it is simply blooming everywhere.
In just 10 days, nearly 2,000 unscrupulous profiteers and guards who had come to Lingnan Province to make money were killed, and the food they brought was either distributed to the victims or confiscated by the government for disaster relief.
At the same time, Lu Yun's more than 20 big ships have sailed back to Liuqiu, bringing back more than 10,000 victims, all of whom were involved in the murder, and they were all fooled into coming to Liuqiu Island, and now it has a new name, called Xia Ke Island.
When they were on the ship, these victims were still very worried, worried that they would be fooled, but at this point, they had no way back, the fleet entered the harbor, all the victims were shocked, such a large harbor, they had seen it for the first time, and the houses, market towns, and cities on the shore behind the harbor were endless, and this was really a paradise.
What surprised them even more was that when they got off the ship, there would be a person standing at the top of each deck to hand out money, each person had the same money, the same money, this is not a small amount, Wu Lei was the first to get off the ship, he asked the person who sent the money: "Excuse me, why do you want to send money?" ”
The man was a special soldier, and replied a very standard answer: "The owner of the island said that if you have money to travel all over the world, it is difficult to move an inch without money, in order to let you live and work here in peace and contentment, this money is always for you to settle down, I hope you can settle down here as soon as possible." ”
Wu Lei was shocked inexplicably when he heard this, this island owner is really too generous, they have more than 10,000 people, one person has always been rich, that is, more than 10,000 yuan, for him, more than 10,000 yuan is an astronomical amount, I dare not imagine.
Wu Lei held back his shock and asked, "May I ask where the island owner is, I want to see him in my later life." ”
The special soldier said: "If you want to meet the island master, you have to ask Commander Lu first." ”
"Who is Commander Lu?"
The people in the rear have already begun to urge, and many people on the other gangplanks have already received money and landed on the shore, so they are naturally anxious.
Wu Lei also knew that now was not the time to ask, so he hurriedly took the money and thanked him and began to land.
Most of the victims who came to seek the disaster were dragged with their families, one person is consistent, a family is two or three or three or four, and it is definitely more than enough to settle down, if the population of the family reaches five or six people, relying on this money, they have already settled in the city.
Li Hao sat in the tea shop in the harbor market town and drank tea, looking at so many people getting off the boat, his heart was happy, this time, he not only punished the ** businessman, stabbed the scholars, but also dug more than 10,000 disaster victims to beg, now the total number of people is nearly 40,000, the more people, the faster the development, there is nothing else lacking on the island, the most lacking is the population.
After a while, Lu Yun quietly came to the tea shop and reported the situation to Li Hao, the operation was a complete victory, needless to say, when Lu Yun said that the medical halls in the major states and counties in Lingnan were full, Li Hao frowned, sure enough, there was a big epidemic after the flood, and this time the flood was so big, if he wanted to say that there was no epidemic, he didn't believe it.
Li Hao immediately sent someone to send a message to Cui Peng, asking him to send Qiongnan's medical team to bring medicinal materials to the coastal prefectures and counties of Lingnan to help treat the disease, and attach a prescription for cholera.
Sure enough, three days later, cholera patients began to appear in the states and counties of Lingnan Province, and in just two days, hundreds of people died of the disease, and the spread speed was extremely fast, and plague was really a terrible word in ancient times.
Fortunately, Ma Zhou finally arrived in Lingnan, the reason why Ma Zhou came so slowly this time was because of the delay in Jiangnan Province, and the disaster in Jiangnan Province was not light, he was busy there for nearly half a month, and then hurried to Lingnan, he blamed himself very much, because he came too late, thinking that many people must have starved to death here in Lingnan, but after asking in Guangzhou, he learned that Lingnan is not short of food at all, because those unscrupulous profiteers have too much food, and after they die, no one will claim the food, and these grains are ownerless, Naturally, it will be confiscated, owned by the government, just used for disaster relief, even if someone comes to claim it later, they are not afraid, the big deal is to write a song to the court, let the court solve it, and the grain should be returned.
In fact, where do people dare to claim this batch of grain, unless those gate valve families don't want to mix it up, as soon as they come out to claim it, isn't it clear that they will come to make a fortune in the country, isn't this taking the initiative to give the pigtails to Li Shimin for arrest, if they still have a little brain, they will choose to swallow their anger, knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
The problem of food is solved, but now we have to face a bigger problem, and that is the plague.
Ma Zhou heard that Lingnan is now the time when the whole road is cholera, his heart was surprised, before he left, Shi Najie had quietly visited him, and secretly sent a large number of medicinal materials and a piece of prescription, saying that these are specially used to treat cholera, and may be used after arriving in Lingnan and Jiangnan, and these are Li Hao's meaning, I didn't expect it to be used now, he has admired Li Hao in his heart.
Ma didn't say a word on Tuesday, and hurriedly sent people to distribute medicinal herbs to all major states and counties, along with prescriptions for cholera.
At the same time, the treatment team led by Cui Peng had already started treatment in the coastal prefectures and counties of Lingnan to stabilize the epidemic, and in another ten days, a plague was suppressed, less than 1,000 people died from the epidemic, and 20,000 people are still recovering, and no new epidemic will appear.
The catastrophe finally calmed down, and Ma Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, just returning to the post house from outside, ready to drink tea to moisten his throat, when suddenly a guard came to report: "My lord, there is a guest visiting, saying that it is your old friend, this is a post." ”
Ma Zhou was puzzled when he heard this, when did he still have an old friend in Lingnan Road? I don't remember it at all, he took the post suspiciously, unfolded it, and was shocked, the content of the post was very ordinary, but the private seal shocked him, because those words were "Li Shimad".
"Hurry up, please Qiongnan ......" Ma Zhou hurriedly stopped, he suddenly remembered that Li Hao was not allowed to leave the fiefdom, since he was visiting, he must have come secretly, and he must not be quiet, so he said, "The person who came is indeed an old man of this official, you go and invite him in." ”
"Yes!" The head of the guard commanded to leave.
