At this time, Guo Jia and his entourage had already arrived near Xiaopei. But now Guo Jiacai suddenly came to his senses, and his original choice seemed to be a little miscalculated. Maybe Guo Jia is indeed cleverly hidden, and he has never been recognized. But now that Cao Song is dead, the angry Cao Cao is estimated to have begun to deploy troops. And Tao Qian was obviously going to rush over to resist and stop Cao Cao's invasion.

Guo Jia's place, Xiao Pei, will soon become a place of chaos, and in the chaos, the probability of being injured by mistake is very large! Moreover, if Guo Jia and his entourage continue to face each other and go to Yanzhou, they will inevitably be noticed immediately and arouse suspicion. Is it possible for a normal person to keep moving forward at this time? We're trying to find a place to escape the war!

It's a pity that Guo Jia and his entourage didn't dare to take refuge in the county seat at will, because ......

"Tao Qian, he can't die well!! Whining! ”

Cao Xi is definitely a very irritable and impulsive woman, and now that something like this has happened, it was her own grandfather who died, Cao Xi was so grief-stricken that she couldn't wait to rush over and fight with Tao Qian. Under such circumstances, does Guo Jia dare to take the team to the county seat? If Cao Xi couldn't hold back, then Guo Jia and the others would definitely be arrested immediately.

"Husband, aren't you going to persuade her?" Diao Chan couldn't help but say beside him.

"Persuade? How to persuade? Do you want her to endure her resentment? Guo Jia couldn't help but ask, "Seriously, if possible, I hope to tie Tao Qian over now and let her vent well." ”

"Do you look like a monk saying this?" Tang Ji couldn't help but say.

"The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant. I think Tao Qian is estimated to be dying soon. Guo Jia replied.

"You better think about how to live longer than Tao Qian first." Tang Ji said directly.

Tang Ji's worries are not unfounded, who can guarantee that Cao Cao, who is in a rage, will not commit any extreme atrocities? Historically, Cao Cao slaughtered the city in Xuzhou. If Cao Cao really gave the order to kill casually. When the time comes, when you meet some red-eyed soldiers, who will care what you say.

"Amitabha. I think we'd better find a random temple nearby to hide in. Guo Jia decided

In a temple near Xiaopei,

There are obviously not a few people who think the same way as Guo Jia, and now "public places" like temples are already overcrowded. However, most of them are poor families, but there are few rich people who pass by like Guo Jia and his party.

Also, why don't the real rich people go directly to Xiaopei County to hide, Xiaopei is heavily guarded, even if the war starts. It's definitely a relatively safe place.

Therefore, the appearance of Guo Jia and his entourage is somewhat eye-catching. It's just that in such a tense situation now, there are still a few people who will have the leisure to gossip about others.

"Amitabha, the little monk came from Jinshan Temple in Wu County, the law name is Fahai, passing through the treasure temple, disturbing the senior brothers Qingxiu." Guo Jia as a "kind". Naturally, it was up to him to go up and say hello.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Fahai, please come inside." The little novice clasped his hands together, bowed, and led everyone in.

Guo Jia and the others followed Xiao Shami inside. Along the way, I watched the tragic situation on the left and right.

That's right, the war has not yet begun. These ordinary people, who are not at all refugees, are now living as miserable as refugees. I guess there are too many people. The house in the temple was completely uninhabitable, and a group of people were just barely living in some simple tents next to it.

"Come on. This is the porridge that my mother just boiled. Slow down, drink less, okay, okay, and my brother......"

"Mother, how long are we going to stay here?"

"Don't worry, soon, it will be fine soon......"

"Dad, I'm scared!"

"Don't be afraid, there are so many people here, it's going to be fine......"

"You boy! Tell you to steal from other people! Tell you to steal from other people! How do you usually teach you?! ”

"Wow~~Wow~~ But I'm really hungry......"

"This ...... Ahem, this senior brother, is there a shortage of food here now? Guo Jia couldn't help but ask.

Xuzhou can be called the richest place in the country today, these years can have so much money to build so many temples, but also to feed so many monks, it makes no sense that the war has not yet started, the people will not be able to find food, right? I don't think I've heard of a big natural disaster in the temple this year.

"Not the rich gentry yet! Knowing that there was going to be a war soon, they all began to stock up on food. As a result, food is not only very expensive now, but also ordinary people can't buy it at all! Xiao Shami shouted a little excitedly, and only then did he come to his senses after speaking, and hurriedly clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, the little monk has committed a reluctance precept, which makes the senior brother laugh." ”

"I see...... Really, realistically. Guo Jia looked around and sighed for a while. Guo Jia has also read some Three Kingdoms novels before, and many protagonists will use prophets to stock up on food before the war. If Guo Jia hadn't become a big official as soon as he came, he would probably have made a fortune by similar means.

It was only at this time that Guo Jia finally understood what a disaster such a result was for ordinary people! Whose money is the final harvest of the grain? The money of the princes? Money from other nobles? Apparently neither!

The grain harvested is actually the money of the middle and lower classes of society, like Xi Zhicai! As for the people at the bottom of society, it is estimated that they will starve to death in vain. If it is said that the poor family is bankrupt just to survive, then the low-level people have degenerated into cowards, just for a mouthful of food.

Faced with such a situation, what can Guo Jia do? Can they still force the nobles to give up their own food? How many scholars are willing to do such things that harm themselves and others! Counting on the government to open a granary to save the hungry? Not to mention whether there is any official surplus food during the war, and even if there is, how long can it last without the support of the nobles?

Sure enough, just like Xi Zhicai thought, if there is no so-called scholar clan, if the food of these scholars is now in the hands of the government, then not to mention opening a warehouse for disaster relief, the government in order to seek internal stability will not make such a malicious grain dumping and taking the opportunity to raise the price of unscrupulous profiteers!

Perhaps, after Guo Jia goes back, is it time to set up an anti-monopoly official regulatory organization across the era?

"Hey, how long will this troubled world last?" Tang Ji couldn't help but sigh, as a woman, she naturally couldn't have as much as Guo Jia thought, but like all other ordinary people, she was looking forward to the arrival of a peaceful and prosperous era as soon as possible.

"By the time my son was born, it would have been pretty much the same." Guo Jia replied half-jokingly and half-truthfully.

The little novice in front of him moved his ears, and the senior brother meant that this troubled world would never end? After all, a monk, where did the son come from! (To be continued.) )
