Chapter 216 Food Prices
"By the way, you should also inform the Floating Cloud Sect. Everyone should be vigilant about this matter," Lin Xiqi said.

"Okay." Ren Yue nodded.

This time following the Houyuan army, there are also people from the rivers and lakes of Houyuan. These people may have dispersed into Liangzhou, so we must be more vigilant.

"Wang Dong, when you are collecting news, you also have to spread the news, spread these things out as soon as possible." Lin Xiqi said, "I hope everyone can get the news in time, and one can escape."

"This subordinate understands." Wang Dong said.

Wang Dong knew that these were aimed at the common people, not only Sandao County, but also other counties.

The other magistrates don't care, but Lin Xiqi still hopes that these people can escape.

"That's it, act separately, don't slack off." Lin Xiqi waved his hand.

After they left, Lin Xiqi was the only one left here.

Su Qinglan swayed at the door, poked her head and looked inside.

"Sneaky, come in if you have anything to say." Lin Xiqi said.

Seeing that she was discovered, Su Qinglan couldn't help sticking out her tongue, came in and said: "My lord, this servant has been very careful, but I didn't expect to be discovered by my lord."

"Don't talk nonsense, talk about serious business, what's the matter with you? Is there any movement from Monk Shande?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"Not yet." Su Qinglan shook her head and said, "It's Miss Qin's business. She came to this servant just now and said that she wanted to walk around the city. The servant dare not make decisions without authorization, so I came here to ask the Lord for instructions."

"After the Yuan army invaded, it is more appropriate to stay in the Yamen during this period." Lin Xiqi said.

"This servant thinks so too." Su Qinglan blinked and said.

When Su Qinglan had just finished speaking, Lin Xiqi thought about it again and said, "Forget it, you go and let her come over, and I'll take him for a walk around the city."

"Really? The slave girl wants to go too. It's enough for Monk Shande to let my sister watch over it." Su Qinglan said with bright eyes.

"I knew you couldn't be idle, so you want to go out, right? It means that Qingmei doesn't care about you, well, you can come together." Lin Xiqi chuckled lightly.

"Your Excellency loves Qinglan the most, I will inform Miss Qin right now." Su Qinglan said happily.

Su Qingmei's temper is quieter, she would not complain if she took Su Qinglan out and left her here.

"I don't know how the people in the city will react after knowing these things." Lin Xiqi thought to himself.

Originally, he didn't want Qin Xiaoyin to go out, but now that Sandao County has started martial law, it must be deserted compared to the past, most people stay at home and don't go out.

There is nothing to do in such a county.

But Lin Xiqi still wants to know some thoughts and reactions of the people in the city, so that he can better make some decisions in the future.

Su Qinglan, Qin Xiaoyin and Xiaolu soon came over.

"My lord, you are busy with business, so you don't have to go out with us, right?" Qin Xiaoyin said.

"The situation outside is special right now, and I still don't feel relieved about you going out." Lin Xiqi smiled and said.

Qin Xiaoyin felt a little helpless in her heart. She only wanted to go out by herself, but she never thought about being with Lin Xiqi.

"Okay." Qin Xiaoyin finally nodded.

Here, she is not easy to be petty.

She also knew about Houyuan's invasion and didn't want to cause Lin Xiqi any trouble.

Since Lin Xiqi insisted, she couldn't say much.

"Compared to Dunhuang City, it is indeed much deserted." Walking on the street, Qin Xiaoyin said.

"Dunhuang City is a county after all, how can a small remote county like ours compare?" Lin Xiqi said, "It was a bit more lively before, but now everyone doesn't go out much."

There are very few pedestrians on the street, and the street feels much wider.

Qin Xiaoyin didn't have much interest after turning around. In fact, she wanted to go out of the city more, but she didn't mention it at this time, so let's wait until the army of Houyuan passes by.

Although there were not many pedestrians on the street, Lin Xiqi still got some news from these people.

The people in the city are still uneasy. The invasion of the Houyuan means war, and there is a danger of the city being destroyed.

In the past, counties like Sandao County were relatively safe, and the troops who invaded in the late Yuan Dynasty generally would not choose to attack the city.

But this time was different. Although these people didn't know the exact number of the Houyuan army, Chen Changjie still warned them, saying that this time it was more serious than before.

"Food prices have increased by [-]%, shouldn't you, the county magistrate, pay attention to it?" Qin Xiaoyin asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Lin Xiqi stared at Qin Xiaoyin in surprise.

"What? Is there something wrong with this girl's face?" Seeing Lin Xiqi staring at her, Qin Xiaoyin couldn't help asking.

"I didn't expect to ask the girl to be familiar with some of the people's livelihood." Lin Xiqi withdrew her gaze and smiled.

"Don't think that this girl is one of those women who don't go out of the gate. In the past, the Chiyan Sect was the powerful sect in Dunhuang County. They are more or less involved in some things about the people, so I can understand a little bit. " Qin Xiaoyin said.

Lin Xiqi nodded. These people also talked about the price of food just now, and Qin Xiaoyin obviously heard it.

Lin Xiqi knew that Qin Xiaoyin was a little disgusted with her attitude, but it didn't mean she was savage, at least she behaved decently towards other people.

"It seems that the official I bought doesn't make her feel good." Lin Xiqi smiled bitterly in her heart.

"If food prices go up again, be careful not to be unstable." Qin Xiaoyin said again.

"I believe Master Chen can do well." Lin Xiqi said.

"I'm just reminding you that the current increase of [-]% is still reasonable, after all, the war is imminent." Qin Xiaoyin said, "The next step depends on how well you, the county magistrate, control the people under the rule. There are food hoarders in every place. Grain merchants, especially at this time, are the time when they make trouble."

Lin Xiqi nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, if the price of food goes up again, it's really wrong."

Seeing Lin Xiqi's confident look, Qin Xiaoyin still had some doubts in his heart whether he could stabilize the food price as he said, but these things are what Lin Xiqi should consider after all, and it's fine for an outsider to mention it. Say more.

In her opinion, how could a young boy like Lin Xiqi be able to hold down a county.

There shouldn't be too many local snakes here, just because he is a teenager?
When the few people hadn't taken a few steps forward, they heard a noise coming from the front. It was rare to see many people gathered around the gate of a house on the deserted street.

"What happened?" Qin Xiaoyin asked.

"Go and have a look and you'll know?" Lin Xiqi said.

When they approached, Qin Xiaoyin realized that it was a team of yamen servants who were raiding the house.

After hearing what the surrounding people said, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiqi beside her in surprise.

After a while, she saw an acquaintance.

That was Lin Xiqi's master Chen Changjie, who was seen walking out of this house.

He looked around and found Lin Xiqi.

Lin Xiqi motioned him to ignore it, and then Chen Changjie said loudly: "Hoarding food and driving up food prices for the sake of riches is unkind, this is the end, you should take this as a warning."

"Lord Chen, Master Chen, please spare me, I am willing to donate all the food for free." A chubby middle-aged man was crossed by two yamen servants, crying loudly.

"Hmph, it's late. The county government has already issued an order prohibiting raising grain prices. Since you dare to do this, you must have the awareness to take it away and ransack your house." Chen Changjie shouted coldly.
