The most obvious is ...... The food crisis began to emerge.

When Li Chuang, Luo Rucai, and Yuan Shizhong besieged Kaifeng again, they did not start fighting immediately. Upon learning of this news, Gao Mingheng first breathed a sigh of relief, but soon hung up in one breath.

When things go wrong, there must be deception.

Gao Mingheng's bad premonition was very effective. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the army to begin harvesting the wheat outside Kaifeng City. After receiving the news, the people in the city were disturbed. And just now, it was Huang Shu, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, who took the people collected from the five general societies and began to go out of the city to grab grain.

Everyone began to think of a particularly serious crisis - a lack of food.

Kaifeng is the capital of Henan, although rich, but after all, it is a consumer-oriented city, food depends on the supply outside the city, once the supply is cut off, Kaifeng City will face what kind of crisis, everyone can find a terrible phrase from the history books.

Easy to eat...... Guanyin soil ......

Huang Shu was able to find people to go out of the city to grab food, and he was even more able to go out and lead troops to the battle, Gao Mingheng could only admire.

But then, it also means that the problem is starting to come to the table, to the point where it has to be solved.

Thinking of this, Gao Mingheng looked at the governor's big seal on the desk, and said with a wry smile: "And buy grain and rice...... It's inevitable. Come here, summon Mr. Wei, this official ...... and buy grain and rice in the city. This ration must not be disturbed...... Otherwise, the local officers and soldiers in Henan will be shaken......"

In Caomen District, Tie Yi of the head office frowned and became a Sichuan character: "So, Lord Gao ordered to buy it forcibly?" ”

In front of Tie Yi was a sixteen young man with clear eyebrows and some handsomeness, who was Tie Yi's cousin. Feng Tantan.

Feng Tantan replied, "That's not what the governor's order says. It's just that those servants learned that our family still had a few hundred stone meters, so they put down twenty taels of silver. It is said that it is the money to buy five stones of wheat. ”

After listening to Feng Tantan's words, Tie Yi rubbed his head: "The so-called heirloom of poetry and books." has saved such a little foundation, and it has been figured out so quickly. But...... This is also due to the fact that I am still the head office of Cao District, and I have thousands of people under my hands. Otherwise, the officer would have to deduct the twenty taels. That's it, Brother Tan, you can find someone to bring five stones of wheat. Don't worry about this anymore. And also...... We also have to buy grain in Cao District to ensure the supply of military rations. If not...... It won't be long before the silver is useless! ”

"That'...... Let's also press the official price? Feng Tantan wondered.

Tie Yi saw this. Shaking his head slightly: "Although before the siege of the city, our silver was only two or six dollars for one stone of wheat, but now, ...... I'm afraid the market price in the city has exceeded five taels. We bought it at the market price, five taels and one stone. And don't say anything to send it, I'll send two hundred people over. In this matter, let Brother Yong take care of the money, go to the door to buy, and go to the door to get it! ”

After Tie Yi finished speaking, he suddenly saw an angry rebuke coming from outside.

"Something that doesn't have eyes. Who would dare not obey the governor's orders? At this time, if you make any more trouble, you won't have a word to kill! We have been ordered by the Governor. Buy your money and food, three taels of silver is enough to give you face. If you dare to resist again, the house will be demolished for you! Tie Yi pushed the door and went out. Suddenly, I saw a Kaifeng Mansion errand squad leader leading several strong class catchers to rush into a family's house.

After a while, I saw these errand catchers smiling. They each dragged out with large bags and small bags.

In front of the door, a face was pale. The woman with a bit of charm hugged the thigh of an errand and screamed: "Official...... Have pity on the poor slave...... Nu Pingsheng has never done anything unreasonable, these thirty stone rice is the life-saving food of the slave family's mother and daughter......"

"Bad luck...... The err......and officer shook off his legs and kicked the woman hard, but he couldn't shake it off: "You widow, don't pester me!" No matter how much I pestered, all the money for buying grain was wanted. ”

After saying this, the officer threw out a bag of silver, kicked it again, shook off the widow, patted his trouser legs, and cried, "What a bad luck...... But this widow Xu...... It's really rich, tsk......"

"It's too much to deceive people...... Feng Tantan was furious, and his face was full of righteous indignation: "Isn't this a robbery?" ”

Seeing this, Tie Yi just sighed lightly and said, "I can see that we have no food in Kaifeng...... It's more than you and I think. Do you really think that Widow Xu is making trouble to stop them? It's just that...... I don't want to let all the money I buy wheat run out anymore......"

"But...... But the governor's order was four taels of silver and one stone of wheat! Feng Tantan was indignant.

"It's good that the rice is gone...... The money from selling rice is gone! Tie Yi just looked blank: "If you really pity her, find her a man who can hold a knife." The way of the world...... It's getting messy......"

Suddenly......

Just as Tie Yi finished speaking, he saw the direction of the city gate, and a social soldier in Cao District ran over in a panic, crying and saying with a sad face: "The head office ...... Head Office ...... The thieves who killed a thousand knives...... They...... They ......"

"They burned all the wheat fields outside the city, and they burned them all...... Lord Huang Shu returned to the city, and today he snatched back seventeen stone wheat ......"

Hearing this, Tie Yi and Feng Tantan glanced at each other, and their hearts sank.

Meanwhile......

In the streets and alleys, screams and roars seem to be more frequent.

In the palace of the king of Zhou.

Zhu Gongyu stared at the holy decree in his hand for a long time, and then read a letter covered with a clear and unfalse prince's seal, and threw these two things on the table in annoyance.

"What is going on!" Zhu Gongyu finished complaining, sighed lightly, but still took it back, and carefully read the Holy Decree, and then carefully put it away.

The holy decree, the Ming Dynasty has rules and regulations, and they must not be defaced. And another letter is the source of Zhu Gongyu's boredom. It's just that Zhu Gongyu at this moment didn't have the heart to look at it at all, but he felt extremely powerless when he saw the big seal on it.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous...... Ridiculous! The dignified prince, want to come to Kaifeng? Want to come to Kaifeng, which is besieged by millions of thieves? Don't you think this opening is messy enough? Zhu Gongyu gritted his teeth, picked up a newspaper on the table, sneered, and threw it away.

Above, Shandong Town defeated Li Zicheng in Dongming County, and the text of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Li Yan and the Red Lady is impressive.

But Zhu Gongyu didn't believe these things at all.

The current military newspaper, except for the names of the people on it, is generally good, and the rest of the content is false nine times out of ten. As for the big victory, Zhu Gongqi was completely hopeless. In his mind, at most, it was the soldiers of Shandong Town who fought desperately to repel the thieves because they wanted to protect the prince.

At most, one is undefeated in repulsion, how can there be such a big victory in a rout battle. (To be continued......)
