Chapter 431: Economic Blockade
Chapter 431 Economic Blockade.
Ye Xing didn't tell Hua Zhi about what happened last night, because he didn't want them to worry about him.
When the sun rose again, they went on business as usual, and it was only when the cook of the county government hurriedly came back from outside that they knew the seriousness of the matter.
This cook was hired by Ye Xing from the local area, and the salary was very high, and everyone was used to eating the dishes she cooked, the cook got up early every day to buy vegetables on the street, and then came back to cook for a few of them, although it was hard, but three meals a day, in addition to cooking, she could rest the rest of the time, so the cook was very satisfied with this errand.
But at this time, the cook's face was ugly, as if she had encountered some great difficulty.
Huo Qing saw that the cook was back, so he asked a little sharply: "Why did you come back so late today, we have been waiting for half an hour!" ”
Huo Qing asked like this, but Ye Xing hurriedly stopped him, because he found that the cook did not buy vegetables in her basket.
"Is something wrong?" Ye Xing asked kindly, because of this kind of thing, there is really no need to be angry.
Seeing that Ye Xing's attitude was so good, the cook's nervous situation improved slightly, and then she replied: "Lord Ye, something has happened, and now the people in the entire nameless county refuse to sell vegetables to others, not only vegetables, but even grain." ”
Everyone was shocked, this matter is too puzzling, buying and selling is to make money, if they don't sell, how can they make money?
"What the hell is going on?" Ye Xing asked anxiously, because without food, they might not be able to do anything.
The cook shook her head, saying that she didn't know what was going on, just when everyone was in a hurry, Huo Qing suddenly said: "This must be Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing, they have a lot of power in the nameless county, and only they have the power to make the people in the entire nameless county dare not buy things for others." ”
Ye Xing's eyes were very strange, he was really surprised, he didn't expect that the strength of Jiang Tonghai and the three of them would be so big, it was a little unimaginable.
Huo Qing saw that Ye Xing was puzzled, so he explained: "Lord Ye doesn't know, the three of them almost monopolize all the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the nameless county, if they say a word and don't let them sell, who would dare to sell it!" ”
Ye Xing understood, but even so, why were the three of them so bold that they dared to go against the imperial court?
At this time, Ye Xing suddenly thought of the person who assassinated him last night, they must have been supported and instructed by someone behind them, otherwise how could they dare to be so rampant.
Di Xiaojie touched his stomach and said, "Brother Ye, what should we do, I'm hungry!" ”
In fact, not only Di Xiaojie was hungry, but Ye Xing and the others were also hungry, and after a while, Ye Xing said: "Those people refuse to sell us food, and we have no choice, after all, we can't buy and sell freely, we can't force us to buy, so to solve this matter, we must start from the root." ”
Everyone understands the meaning of Ye Xing's words, and the root cause naturally refers to Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing, as long as the three of them are dealt with, the economy of the nameless county will return to normal.
And if you want to deal with Jiang Tonghai and the others, you naturally have to find them first, but they were only rescued yesterday, and it may not be easy to find them.
If you want the people to report it, it is also impossible for them now, because the people of the nameless county may have to succumb to the authority of Jiang Tonghai and the three of them in order to eat and drink.
At this time, they really felt uneasy.
Hua Zhimeng and the others were already hungry, and Ye Xing had no choice but to say to them: "Since those people refuse to sell us anything, then let's go to the suburbs to catch some game to roast and eat." ”
Wild meat is shared by all people in the world, and no one dares to stop this, and they are very hungry, so they naturally agree with this idea, and it is also good to eat wild game in the suburbs in late autumn at this time.
After a few of them came to the suburbs, Ye Xing and Xu Ruoxuan beat a few rabbits and a few pheasants, and then Di Xiaojie and others started a bonfire and roasted it.
In a short time, the fragrance overflowed.
After everyone had a good meal, they suddenly felt much better, and the three of Jiang Tonghai didn't sell anything for them to eat, so they would eat game and see what he could do to them?
After eating wild meat, they went around and around until noon, but when they returned to the county office, they found that many people were robbing the streets, and they seemed to ignore the king's law at all.
Most of the people who were robbed were shops selling vegetables and grain, they were robbed but had nothing to say, they wanted to complain but didn't know where to sue, and now they saw Ye Xing and Huo Qing and others coming back from outside the city, so they immediately greeted them and begged: "Lord Ye, the county commander, you want to save us, those people are really hateful, they robbed us in broad daylight!" ”
At this time, there are still people robbing, and they are robbing in front of the county order and others, they are unscrupulous, which makes people angry.
Seeing this, Huo Qing suddenly became arrogant and asked, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to arrest them." ”
But as soon as Huo Qing finished speaking, Hua Zhimeng suddenly stopped and said: "What are you doing with them, why are they robbing, it's not because these people refuse to sell them food, they are extremely hungry." ”
Ye Xing nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with what Hua Zhimeng said, because as soon as Ye Xing entered the city, he observed those people who robbed things, they were all poor families, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they knew that they were hungry at a glance.
Now these men refuse to sell to them, will they not starve to death?
What can't they do to survive?
Now that Hua Zhimeng said this, Huo Qing began to hesitate, aren't they also very hungry, so they went to the suburbs to eat game, these people are afraid of Jiang Tonghai and others, and now they have ended up like this, which is also retribution.
Those merchants knelt on the ground and begged for help, but now the connivance of the county commander and Ye Xing and others made them suddenly feel a burst of despair, they were not defeated by the strength of Jiang Tonghai and others, but were robbed by these hungry people.
What a loss they have!
But no matter what, they still have to ask Ye Xing and the others for help, if Ye Xing and the others don't help them, then they will really die.
Seeing this, Ye Xing said: "It's not impossible to change this situation, I already feel that Jiang Tonghai and the others will be uprooted, you don't have to be afraid of them anymore, as long as you open up all your things, sell what should be sold, buy what should be bought, this kind of thing, I will naturally let Huo County Order order to rectify, what do you think?" ”
