Chapter 399 Suzhou City in Crisis

.Nanzhili, Suzhou Prefecture.: It has been a month since the price of grain began to rise. The current price of grain is five taels and four stones in silver. According to the records of the prefecture, the highest grain price in Suzhou City's history occurred when Emperor Taizu besieged Zhang Shicheng. Before the eighth month, the city was broken, it reached two 81 stones.

"I feel very pleased to be able to break the historical record easily." Silently touched the official script and said, "It is unprecedented now. I hope it can rise a little, and it can rise to 10,800 taels. Then there will definitely be no one after another. As he said, he said proudly, "From this record is exclusive to me."

Gui Youguang is like this, I thought, sir, will you not be crazy if you gain or lose your heart.

Seeing his expression, he said silently: Don’t do this, I’m just making fun of suffering, otherwise I’ll be suffocating to death.” As he said that, he lay on the table, holding his head with his hands and said, “Lao Gui, you said that after so many years of Japanese turmoil, we have not even had a problem with our south. Why can’t we buy food with money now?”

"Sir, didn't Hu Butang raise food for us?" Gui Youguang asked.

"This question is really hard to answer you." He looked silent and said with a thoughtful look: "You said he had no money, but it is said that he had already arranged ten ships of food for us, but you want to say he had done it? What is enough for such a little food?" He said in a low voice and cursed: "It's easy to change the country and nature is hard to change. If he could count on it, the old sow could climb a tree."

"Where is Hu Guang? Didn't it mean that Hu Butang and the governor of Hu Guang were the same year?"

Chen Si took his head and knocked on the table and said, "Are you intentional? Chen Youliang is the emperor?" He said, "and he didn't keep it a secret and said, "Where is the hidden residence today?"

"Oh..." Gui Youguang slapped his mouth hard and said, "Why did I forget this?" Before Jiajing entered Beijing, he was the "King Xing" in Anlu, Huguang. Of course, this King Xing was not earned by him, but his father Zhu Youze. As the fourth son of Emperor Chenghua, Lun did not succeed Zhu Youze to inherit the throne, so he went to Huguang'an to take the vassal. Of course, his chief guard was named Lu Song.

Later, when Zhu Youze's princess gave birth to Jiajing, he asked Lu Song's wife to be his nanny. Lu Song's wife had all the breasts because he had just given birth to a son, whose son's name was Lu Bing. In other words, Lu Jia spent the thirty years from Jiajing's father to Anlu to Jiajing's departure from Anlu.

Of course, the princes are all kept in captivity, and no one looks down upon them. People generally believe that they will become unlucky only after eight lifetimes of bad luck and have no future, so the Lu family father and son must have been ignored at the beginning.

But Jiajing's character exploded and he actually changed from a vassal king to an emperor. As the saying goes, one person has achieved the truth and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven, Lu Bingcheng has become the emperor's brother. A powerful first-rate official! One of the two great gods of the dynasty... "I want to be promoted and made a fortune. I want to be a master Yan, and I want to be safe and safe, and I want to be a guardian Lu." These are all the secrets that everyone knows about.

For a time, those who were intimate, those who knew each other or not came to meet with Lu Bing and the Lu family, as if the entire Huguang were their relatives. As a result, the Lu family and Huguang talked, and the pen was fine in Zhejiang...

Silence couldn't help but recall the scenes that had happened for a while...

Seven days ago, there was a material room with iron windows in the backyard of the prefect's yamen.

"If you let me go, I will just give you some notes and let Huguang deliver food to you." Lu Ji said without any consciousness as a prisoner.

He smiled silently, "Do you add a servant named Hu Guang?"

It would be fine if I didn’t mention Huguang. When I mentioned Huguang, I was silent and said, “Don’t expect it, think about which emperor in Huguang went abroad?”

From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to Zhu Yuanzhang, Gui Youguang finally gave the answer: "Chen Youliang?"

"So stupid." Lu Ji curled his lips and said, "I'm talking about the Huguang Administrative Office."

"I can't buy food even if I get the money. Why do you get it by placing a white stick?" Chen Si rolled his eyes and said.

"Because my surname is Lu." Lu Ji smiled proudly, and a beautiful arc was drawn from the corner of his mouth. The innate sense of superiority made Chen Ji very unhappy: "You don't know yet, right? He served as the governor of Huguang, and before he came to Beijing to meet the saint, he would see my uncle first. If my uncle didn't see them, they would not dare to take office."

My silent heart suddenly sank and I thought to myself, why did I forget this?

Seeing his face tightened, Lu Ji became even happier, and even the depression of being imprisoned was wiped out. Hurry up and hit the railway while it was hot: "Let me go. I'll write you a note now."

"Okay, as long as you can write to the note." Silent and helpless: "I will let you go, and then accompany you, and I can still deal with you."

"Really?" Lu Ji's eyes flashed, and he couldn't believe his ears and said, "Are you saying true?"

"Of course it's home." How can he let him deceive the silence of a person who has become a spirit? He smiled and said, "I'll just say it, don't take it seriously."

"You!" Lu Ji immediately opened his eyes wide, grabbed the window and said: You are enjoying me!

Aren't you just having fun with me? I smiled silently and said, "I believe that the governor of Huguang may give you face to the Lu family, but it's not that you can just be merciful if you have the surname Lu."

"You!" Lu Ji was so angry that he snorted and glared: "I tell you that Lu Jia's current foreign affairs are up to me!"

"Then you add it, it's not far from the end." Silently, he said with a hateful smile: "How can talents wither to this point?"

Lu Ji was furious and said: "You are so clumsy! You look down at the person with a dog's eyes!" As he said that, he slapped the window lattice hard and said: "I am, that is, the leader of the Lu family!"

"It's useless to be stubborn," said silently: "You don't even know which of the backends of Fujian and Zhejiang Maritime Businessmen, what is the leader of the Lu family?"

"Who said I don't know?" Lu Ji was angry and blurted out: "In addition to us, there are Wu Yan, Wang E, Zhou Xie, Feng and Zhao Bajia..." After saying that, he suddenly woke up suddenly, bit his lower lip tightly, and his jade face instantly turned red. While knocking his head on the window frame in regret, he gritted his teeth and said, "You are treacherous!"

"You are stupid." Silent shrugged his shoulders, shook his head slightly and said, "It's really a sense of accomplishment to play with you." As he said that, he ordered Tiezhu and said, "Send this idiot to the prison to avoid being confusing the master's yamen."

"Sincere words, no bastard!" Lu Ji felt like a ball that was blown up, and would explode at any time.

Lord Shen, who was satisfied and happy by attacking others, returned to the signing room, saw Gui Youguang coming up with a sad face and said, "Sir, the three prisons are full, Lord Hai is still sending people to the yamen. Let's pretend?"

Silence and distressed, disturbed his head: "Yes, this Haibijia will keep him in order. He will take the chicken feathers as a command arrow and crack down on me."

It is said that since the magistrate of Hai received the order, he announced that Suzhou City had entered a curfew state, and all the casinos in the Swedish Casino were suspended. The people must go home on time during the You hour, and divide the officials from the three yamen into two shifts, patrolling the streets day and night. Anyone who fights, gathers fights, gathers trouble, cheats, bullies the people, and even those who don’t go home at night are all caught in the prison.

Although his subordinates were very distressed, they had no nerve to say it, because Lord Hai himself was reluctant to leave day and night, guessing that he had less than two hours of rest every day, and led a patrol on the streets the rest of the time. His energy was so strong that he was praised as "Napoleon" by Lord Fu Zun. Can a broken wheel be used to refresh his mind?

But everyone still thinks that the nickname "The Underworld Ruler" is more suitable for people to reach the sea, so they call him "The King of the Sea" behind their backs

Of course, it is impossible to calm a panic city by relying solely on power and high pressure. The gangsters who are as cold as winter to the local gangsters and bad elements, but the warmth of ordinary people as spring. He tirelessly appeases the anxious people and tells them that the Lord Zun of the Mansion has requested the governor to transfer military rations and will be shipped to Suzhou soon. It is more than enough to eat the two markets on the market, so there is no need to panic about the temporary food waste. As long as the food at home is enough.

If ordinary officials say this, the people will not believe it, and they will even be able to react, causing greater panic, because for thousands of years, in the hearts of the people, officials have always been a bunch of people, but they do not include honest officials. The highest form of being honest officials is "Qingtian".

Hai Rui has accumulated enough character in his daily life. He has made his reputation of being "self-righteous, not afraid of power, diligent and loving the people" in Suzhou City. He has always been regarded as an idol by the people.

So everyone actually believed in his Hua! Although some people wanted to question it, the old man grabbed his ear and said: "The Hua that Hai Qingtian said is true, and even if he doesn't believe it, he must believe it!"

As a result, a miracle unprecedented in human history was born. In a city where prices soared and materials were scarce, there was a scene of fighting without picking up the road and not closing the door at night, which made those who were looking forward to the chaos in Suzhou. The people began to rob, then smashed and robbed, and finally burned and killed the robbed, and broke their glasses.

The supreme martial arts world, the sword slays the dragon; the sky cannot come out, who will compete with you?

....................................................................................................

So when Danggui Youguang suggested to Shen Mo whether to ask Lord Hai to stop arresting people, or let them go some of the arrests, Shen Mo did not agree. He shook his head and said, "The so-called "the use of heavy dictates in troubled times, and now no one can maintain the public order in Suzhou City will have this effect." As he said, he smiled happily and said, "Let the Haibike go casually. As long as you tell you that the prison is full of this fact, he will definitely come up with a solution."

"The Lord is really confident in him." Gui Youguang said with a smile.

"When doing things alone, no one is as capable as Hai Rui. Shen Mo smiled proudly, what is the greatest blessing to be a leader? It is to have a capable general who can bear the most troublesome things of the leader.

"Yes." Gui Youguang also sighed: "It's a pity that he is not very good at being a human being."

Silent but self-deprecatingly said, "It is more likely that people disdain to be someone like us."

The two of them joking for a while, Tiezhu came in to report: "President Gu and Boss Shen asked for a meeting."

"Please." Chen Shu said with a smile.

After Youguang went out, Gu Rundong came in with heavy steps and saluted the adults. President Gu whispered: "Even if the grain in the warehouse is sold according to rationing, it can only last for five days." Now Suzhou City is in a special period of "siege", so Chen Shishi ordered the grain store to implement rationing and selling grain. It is stipulated that each person should not sell more than five kilograms of grain, and must be marked with special colors that are difficult to wash off on the back of his hands, and each person is only allowed to buy it once.

But because of the surge in rice prices, when the last time I bought rice, the grain shops did not bring enough money. They only bought less than half of the grain. So even if they were rationed, they still couldn't last long.

Once there is no rice sold in the grain shop, the "calm" Suzhou City will inevitably be frying the pot immediately, and a hundred Hai Rui will not work at that time! Because only by letting the common people set up a pot to cook white rice, he guesses that he will patiently listen to you and make senses without getting tired of it. If there is no white rice, the truth will not be enough to satisfy your hunger!

"They are forcing us to buy high-priced rice!" Hearing that Chen Si told him that not only Zhejiang could not count on it, but Huguang also had no way to buy rice. Gu Rundong said sadly: "It seems that they have already set up the net of heaven and earth, and we have to calculate that we will be desperate in the end. So we are confident and priced at a price a day, and we will give in."

He snorted silently: What is the situation in the food coupon now?”

When he heard the adult ask about this, Chen Hongchang, who had been silent after coming in, finally spoke: Go to Zero One II.com. "Since the Grain and Oil Chamber of Commerce followed the adult's instructions and promised that the grain coupons in the association could be used, he said incrediblely: "In five days, 900,000 taels of silver were sold. "He couldn't understand why even a blind man could see the risks faced by the grain and oil Chamber of Commerce, but the people turned a blind eye?

"Nine hundred thousand taels?" said silently: "Add to the original money for buying grain, we have two million taels. How much food can we buy?"

"If you are at today's price, you can buy 500,000 stones." Chen Hongchang said softly.

"It's enough for the people of Suzhou City to eat for three months." Silent laughed: "It's enough to save some food when mixing with wild vegetables, so it's enough to wait until the summer grain is on the market."

"But we are destined to not buy so much food. Gu Rundong said depressedly: "They will definitely sell us at most 10,000 or 20,000 shi at a time. Then, if we buy it, we will have to increase the price again, so that we can spit out all the money we eat in due to the continuous shortage of food."

"Of course I know." Chen Si smiled and said, "I mean, as long as we can get 500,000 stones of food, we can survive this crisis."

"That's right." The two nodded.

At this time, Tiezhu came in again to report: "Someone claims to be Guan Jia from the Lu Mansion to ask for a meeting."

Silent Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Let's get into trouble." Then he said to Gu Rundong and Shen Hongchang, "If you go back, if you really can't do anything, just smash and buy some food with those bunch, but don't buy too much, because maybe when will it be bright."

"Yes" the two bowed and left.

After the two left, a burly middle-aged man was brought in by Tiezhu, saluted Chen Mo with a very regular manner, and then explained his purpose: "The villain Lu Qiang, the butler of the Lu family in Pinghu, was detained by the government because the young master of the Han family was detained by the government. The old lady at home was worried and could not eat. She was a special villain who came to pay the ransom, please give him kindness."

In the laws of the Ming Dynasty, there is a provision called "Scholars:"Since the level of sin," that is, the suspect can pay a certain amount of ransom... The specific data depends on the size of the crime he is suspected of, and can then be released. Of course, it must be guaranteed to be delivered at any time. Of course, if it is proven to be guilty in the future, it must be re-processed.

Through such a long period of practice and study, Silence has already understood the law of the Ming Dynasty very well. He heard this and asked, "Do you want to protect the redemption?"

"Yes, sir." Lu Qiang took out a student certificate from his arms and said: "I am a student of the county school and I can be free from detention according to the law."

"Come on the right?" Chen Si smiled faintly: "Feeling your slim look, I know you are just a happy person, let's negotiate the price directly.

Just take my son away.”

"Since you have done your homework in advance, you smiled silently, "You should know that the amount of ransom comes from the size of the crime."

"Yes." Lu Qiang nodded.

The charge of your young master is to disobey several imperial edicts and to the fifth-rank official of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank

The other party knew that he must be hitting the bamboo pole, and he didn't argue: "How much is it?"

"I don't want money." Chen Si shook his head, his eyes turned cold as a knife, staring at Lu Qiang and said, "I want food."

"The Lord Rong Bing," Lu Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Now in Suzhou, we only have money and no food."
