Chapter 762 Grain storage, unlimited storage of food

After the failure of diplomacy, the Goguryeo court could no longer hide any news, but all the nobles of some status knew that a disaster was coming. Maybe it would not be necessary for the army of the Tang Dynasty to fight, and a big war would break out in the country because of food.

The Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce was taken away by the big opponent Lu Yuangai Suwen. A thousand shi of grain is only a drop in the bucket. The Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce accounts for [-]% of the entire grain industry in Koguryo. It can be said that every city has their grain shops. Even if there is no food from Datang, relying on their grain alone, it can be sold normally in the country for a month.

It’s just that during this period, even if anyone has food in their hands, they have to hide it, and no one dares to publicize how much food they have, otherwise the people around them will be red-eyed, and they may do something for the ration of survival dangerous thing.

But even so, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, especially when there is a problem with the internal staff of the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce. After a shopkeeper inadvertently revealed the grain storage data of the headquarters, the people who have been panicking for half a month are not calm.

Starting from a small city, several vicious gangsters got entangled and directly robbed the grain store of the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce in that city.

The Gold and Grain Chamber of Commerce was furious and sued the government to severely punish the murderer. However, after dealing with this group of robbers just now, the robbery happened again near the city, and then it was like detonating a gunpowder keg. Which city does not have those people who can't eat?
This does not only refer to poor people, there are also rich people. Those who need to buy food in the city usually have no land and rely on money to buy food. But now, you are a grain merchant who will close the door and not sell food. What do we eat?
People who are extremely hungry don’t care whether they are rich or not. Instead of robbing other passers-by of food, it’s better to come to a big one and rob the food store once and for all. It can also relieve their hatred, although the food store explained that Datang would not give them a way to survive. , but we don't know any Datang people, we only look for people who break our food.

So in three days, all the grain shops of the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce in all cities across the country were robbed, and the president of the chamber of commerce has passed out three times.

Go to the Goguryeo palace to file an imperial complaint, but the Goguryeo king has ignored him for a long time, and his big opponent Lu Yuangai Suwen repeatedly agreed to take it back.

But as soon as this person left, Yuan Gai Suwen summoned a confidant.

"I heard that this Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce controls [-]% of the country's scattered grain sales. Hehe, it's wartime now, and it's time for them to contribute to the country. As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and the people are innocent, so it can only be their fault.

Go take a team and find out where the rations are stored at the headquarters of their firm. These are all future rations for our frontlines. "

The man said in disbelief: "Well, big deal to Lu, we are the government, so it will be possible to directly grab food..."

"Oh? Are we the government?
Well, when you ask the brothers to go, they all wear casual clothes, they are not allowed to reveal their identities, and their movements are agile, so that no grain of food can be wasted. Whether you can withstand the threat of Datang depends on your efforts. "

Yuan Gai Suwen said darkly, what he thought of right now was the grain mountain in Datang, which can last for ten months. If they don't come to attack, will they spend ten months with us and we will win? ?

Three days later, the Golden Grain Chamber of Commerce announced its dissolution, and the president hanged himself at his own home.

Since then, domestic food competition in Goguryeo has intensified, and bandits from all over the country continued to plunder, but no one dared to do anything to the government's granary because of the coercion of the government.

In addition to the government, many big families and nobles must have accumulated food for many years. At this time, they all hide their strengths and bide their time. Even the dudes and nobles who used to harm the people in the past have also restrained a lot. The people meet.

Goguryeo, which is so undercurrent, has spent two months like walking on thin ice. The weather is getting colder, and it is about to enter winter. I have always heard that the Tang garrison border is attacking Goguryeo, but a few months have passed. None of the soldiers moved, there was no fighting at all.

At this time, the common people quit. Since there is no war, why does the imperial court charge us [-]% more food?One year's rations are not kept, so cruel?
The second wave of rumors resurfaced, Yuan Gai Suwen wanted to cry but had no tears, it’s not that we don’t want to fight, it’s that they don’t fight with us, they just eat and drink under the city every day, we belong to the city defenders, we can’t call them to attack City, you can't go to surprise the enemy with 20 to [-], that is to die.

But you said that at this critical moment when soldiers are approaching the city, should we withdraw the [-] troops and leave [-] to defend the city every day?
This is even more impossible, what if it is Datang's exhausted strategy?It's not fun to deliberately neglect our military spirit in this way, and when our army withdraws, 20 people will directly attack the city and take the city without any effort.

So now Yuan Gai Suwen can be said to be sitting on pins and needles. Datang is so scheming and he is helpless. This is not here to fight.

After the winter, Goguryeo became even more tense, because more people had no surplus food in their homes, and refugees had already appeared in many places.

At this time, many people thought of the inexplicable flyer a few months ago. A piece of white paper said, Datang has grain, fields, inexhaustible grain, and large fertile fields that no one cultivates. People from other countries are also welcome to join the Datang nationality and share the wealth.

People in Goguryeo took this idea as a joke when they had no worries about eating and drinking, but now they rely on begging for food. A wave of pioneers who gritted their teeth and gave it a try appeared. Although it was only a small team of more than 20 people, they were the first batch of people in Goguryeo to join the Datang nationality.

These people are obviously shrewd people, knowing that this is tantamount to treason. There is nowhere in the country, no food and clothing. Death is not a loss, at most it will be a hundred. For this purpose, more than 20 people sneaked all the way from Pyongyang in stealth. After more than ten days of suffering, they finally bypassed Anshi City and walked in front of Datang's barracks opposite.

"Report, commander, refugees, a group of refugees came in front of the camp, and they claimed to join Datang." A scout from the military camp rushed over and rushed directly into the commander's tent to report.

Li Jing and Du Ruhui were studying the matter of the Great War, and when they heard about it, they suddenly stood up.

"really?
Hahahaha, Keming, the event is over!

The fish have been hooked, and it's finally time to catch the net. "

"Congratulations, handsome."

"Let's go, let's go and receive the first batch of defectors in person, and buy a horse bone with a thousand dollars today!"

Li Jing laughed loudly, and ordered all the generals in the army, whether they were on duty or not, to line up to welcome the future good people of Datang.
