Not being able to go into the sea means that many fishermen have no income, but the people's livelihood is shaken. How big is this happening to make this decision?

Not to mention Tang Ning was puzzled, the fishermen in Chaozhou didn't understand and gathered outside the government office to wait for the government to give an explanation.

Tang Ning also stood in the crowd and waited for news, and listened to everyone's guesses, such as pirates coming, dead people, and even people said that sea monsters appeared on the sea, which was all messy.

She shook her head helplessly and sighed softly, and shouldn't have expected to hear anything useful from them.

Just as Tang Ning was thinking, Master Chen came out with a hat. Looking at the vast crowd below, he explained with regret: "I know you are all worried. To be honest, I am also worried, but this is an order from the court, and the prefect cannot disobey. As for the reason, I cannot say it, but it is definitely for your own good. But don't worry, the city is closed for at most one month, and the government will give you corresponding compensation after more than one month. We don't care if you go down the river and river during this period, and we are not allowed to go to sea."

"Why!" The people started to make trouble again, and some people with bad tempers even wanted to break into the magistrate's office.

A group of sword-bearing guards pulled out the machete without saying a word, and the people stopped.

Tang Ning looked at it for a long time and frowned. He knew that he could not find out what the result was today, so he could only turn around and leave.

Tang Yang and Li were still waiting for Tang Ning to come back. Seeing her appearing in an empty car, they were both stunned.

"Anning, aren't you going to sea to fish? Is this... not going to sea?" Tang Yang's eyes widened and confused.

Tang Ning nodded slightly, "I haven't been allowed to go into the sea this month. The government has sealed the East City Gate. I don't know what happened. Everyone is the same, so I have no idea."

"What's the situation..." Tang Yang couldn't help but frown with concern.

Li was so excited that he smiled gently, "Since everyone is the same, let's sell something else first and wait and see later."

"Yes." Tang Ning responded, turned around and ran into the grocery store, and sat down.

Qiu Jingming quickly poured her tea and handed her a plate of dessert. Looking at the word "Xing" on it, you will know that it was Xingfangzhai's pastry again.

She didn't ask where this thing came from now, and she was so comfortable to eat. She talked to Qiu Jingming about the lockdown, "Do you think this matter has something to do with the soldier we saved?"

"It's very likely." Qiu Jingming agreed, without any curiosity or surprise.

Tang Ning felt a little strange and said, "The officials said it was the court's intention. Xijing is 108,000 miles away from here. It would be fine if the prefect does not listen. Why would it have to be locked down for one month?"

"What you said makes sense." Qiu Jingming continued.

Tang Ning was anxious, "Whatever I said makes sense. Are you listening?"

Seeing her angry look, Qiu Jingming's eyes smiled into a crescent moon, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I know what you said."

"You know!" Tangning suddenly widened his eyes, incredible, "How did you know the news that the locals can't find out?"

Qiu Jingming blinked, hid in Tang Ning's ear, and said softly: "This is not the point, the key is the reason. The troops of the Liao Dynasty attacked, and at the same time, Prime Minister Qiu took the lead in rebellion, and the Xijing was in chaos, and Jiangnan was also affected. We came from Jiangnan, and the waterway was smooth and we could arrive here soon.

The prefect obviously did not want to let people enter the city, or they had other plans, but they did not want the people to know. As for what plans it was, I don’t know. Of course, these are my guesses and cannot be confirmed."

Tang Ning was stunned when he heard this and murmured: "How do you know this?"

It was so strange that everyone was staying together, but she didn't see Qiu Jingming contacting any outsiders? Could it be that it had something to do with his secret?

Tang Ning felt that she could not think about it anymore and her mind was almost out of reach, so she shook her head and said, "Since you can't go down the sea, then go up the mountain, just go and see if my soy sauce is ready!"

Qiu Jingming laughed silently, but he didn't stop him, but he looked at the north with a hint of compassion and desolation.

At this time, Jiangnan was as Qiu Jingming said. The people were in panic all day long. Some people from the streets wanted to escape after receiving the news, but they didn't know where to escape. Some people knelt on the street and begged for the sky. Everyone was worried that they would still have the intention to live.

Jiang Kun and his friends also suffered a great impact, especially when they often saw passenger ships carrying noble people from the north and dragging their families to get off the boat, which made the worry even worse.

After leaving for a day, Gao, who was so tired that he couldn't stand up, took a cup of hot tea from his daughter-in-law Su, who had just entered the door and drank it all.

Su quickly went out to help Jiang Maolei and Jiang Kun arrange things, and then went to the kitchen to serve them hot food.

Seeing the food on the table, Jiang Kun frowned and asked, "How much food is left in the house?"

Su hurriedly replied: "Dadfather-in-law, there are only two sacks of food left in the family, so I can save some food for two months."

Jiang Kun frowned even deeper, and sighed: "The food outside has increased to 70 to 80 cents. Even if we have to buy it, we can't buy it anymore. It's hard for us to continue our business."

The food has risen so much, and their costs have also risen. Everyone has tightened their belts to live, and who will come to eat? Those outsiders who got off the boat were scared away when they heard that a serving of fried rice cost dozens of cents. They were scared away and could not sell it.

When Gao heard this, he couldn't help but wipe his tears, "I was really confused at the beginning! If I listened to my sister-in-law and followed them, maybe we wouldn't be in a dilemma!"

What made Gao regret even more was that they spent money to buy a house. Now that the business cannot continue, it even became a problem for eating. They didn’t know where to go, and it seemed that they were not safe anywhere.

They wanted to go to Lingnan to join the Jiang family but didn't know how to go. After all, Tang Ning had already told them that the road to Lingnan was full of dangers, and their family was all ordinary people, so they dared not take this risk.

"Mom, what's the use of saying this now? Instead of regretting it, think about what to do next? Today I have carefully calculated that there are twenty-five passenger ships on the dock alone, twelve of which were chartered by noble people, and the rest are carrying ordinary people. There were only seven ships yesterday, but there were five more ships today. I don't know how many people jumped here behind them." Jiang Maolei said worriedly.

However, Gao misunderstood and asked happily: "Son, so many noble people come to Jiangnan. Does it mean that Jiangnan is very safe? Wars will not affect this?"
