Phoenix Nine Heavens

"It's not that they don't sell it, it's that as soon as their food came out, the government arrested people, and the food was deemed as disaster relief food and all the food was confiscated, and all the participants were recruited, so the food in the hands of those grain merchants would rather rot than dare Take it out and sell it!" The old shopkeeper looked helpless.

Because the government's confiscation of grain directly led to no grain to sell on the market, and the common people had nothing to eat, which eventually led to the current situation.

"Didn't the imperial court send disaster relief envoys to Yuzhou? Doesn't he care about such things?" Su Xuan asked inexplicably. One must know that the disaster relief envoys came to Yuzhou before them. It is reasonable for him to be here. This kind of situation shouldn't happen again on the state ground, but the old shopkeeper's words now don't seem to be false, which really makes Su Xuan confused.

The original duty of the Disaster Relief Envoy was to balance the price of food, maintain the supply of rations for the people in the disaster area, appease the people, and ensure an orderly distribution of food for the disaster relief, but now it seems that the Disaster Relief Envoy failed to do all of this, she really didn’t know What did the disaster relief envoy Han Yong do in Yuzhou Mansion?
"Master Disaster Relief Envoy? Don't mention the Disaster Relief Envoy. Before he came, the magistrate of Yuzhou Prefecture prevented grain merchants and rich households from donating food and money, and set up porridge sheds to provide porridge for everyone and relieve the hungry people. As soon as they came, they seized all the grain bought and sold in the market in the name of investigating disaster relief funds, and arrested all the grain merchants, and they have not been released until now, so there is no more grain to buy in the market!" Hearing Su Xuan mention the Disaster Relief Envoy, the old shopkeeper of the inn gritted his teeth with hatred.

If it weren't for the appearance of this person, their Yuzhou government wouldn't have gone to the street market without selling a tael of grain, wouldn't even have no food for people like them who aren't poor, and wouldn't even have to leave their hometowns to flee disasters. .

So the hatred in his heart is naturally difficult to express in words, but the hatred in his heart at this moment can be seen from his attitude when he said this.

This is a kind of hatred without any concealment, a kind of hatred that is open and honest without any taboos, and it is the kind of hatred that can't be relieved until the disaster relief envoy Han Yong is eaten alive.

"You are leaving, so what should we do? Can we still find the inn?" Ziqiong asked the old shopkeeper at this time. She had never thought that the disaster here would have such a big impact, even their people in Yuzhou Mansion. Accommodation has become a problem.

At this moment, she doesn't care how deep the old shopkeeper's hatred is, she just wants to know if they can find a place to stay on this Yuzhoufu Street, after all, they are a big group, and they can't sleep on the street.

What's more, there are hungry people everywhere outside. These people can do all kinds of things in order to fill their stomachs. If they really sleep on the street, they don't think much of it as servants, but the safety of the master depends on it. There was no one to protect her, so she had to worry about Su Xuan's safety, and then she wanted to know some details from the old shopkeeper, to see if she could find a place to live.

"It's hard to say, but few people on this street have food in their hands. It is estimated that most of them will leave Yuzhou Mansion to make a living or seek refuge with relatives and friends. The people who stay are probably phoenix-haired water chestnuts!" The old shopkeeper did not hide anything. .

I believe that Su Xuan and the others have seen the situation in Yuzhou Mansion when they entered the city, and places like inns and hotels for people's consumption can't even protect themselves at the moment, let alone entertain guests, so the old shopkeeper is not optimistic about Su Xuan and the others With luck, he felt that Su Xuan and the others would not be able to meet an inn or hotel that could receive them in Yuzhou Mansion.

"Old shopkeeper, if you leave here, the house here is empty, can we stay here, or give you some money!" Su Xuan said to the old shopkeeper at this time.

This is the current situation in Yuzhou Mansion for the time being, and there will be no way to change it for a while, but she can't leave Yuzhou Mansion now like the old shopkeeper. State, of course, cannot be justified.

She will not leave here because of these difficulties, that is not something she can do, so she feels that while the old shopkeeper is leaving, she will solve the housing problem first.

"The house is empty and it is empty. If you want to live, you can choose a few to live in. But there is no food. I believe you will not stay long. Forget about money, you should keep it for yourself on the road. It's not bad for these three melons and two dates!" The old shopkeeper was very straightforward, without any embarrassment.

In his opinion, Su Xuan and the others have been stubborn here for two days. They have nothing to eat. It would be good if they can persist here for two days, let alone live here for a long time, so he doesn't worry about Su Xuan and the others here at all. If you live too long, you will suffer.

Moreover, the old shopkeeper left by himself, and no one else will come to live in these rooms of the inn, let alone business. Anyway, he is idle, so he readily agreed, and did not intend to ask Su Xuan and the others. One tael of silver.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Su Xuan immediately thanked the old shopkeeper when she heard this. After all, they gave them a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so they wouldn't let their group sleep on the street, so for the old shopkeeper, Su Xuan still I deeply feel guilty.

"Don't say anything polite, I wish you good luck, we're leaving now, you can do it yourself!" The old shopkeeper said such a sentence to Su Xuan at this time, then turned around and walked out.

It was only then that an old lady and a few guys got into the carriage, waited outside for the old shopkeeper to get into the carriage, and left from here.

As the old shopkeeper got on the carriage, the carriage slowly walked out of Yuzhou City, and slowly disappeared on the street of Yuzhou Mansion.

"Master, we have a place to live, but what about the food? Now I can't buy food even if I have money!" Ziqiong asked Su Xuan at this time, hoping that Su Xuan could come up with a piece of food as soon as possible. idea.

Living in an inn is better than sleeping on the street. At least their safety can be guaranteed. There are a few of them guarding the door. I believe that those hungry people will not be able to fill in anyway. Su Xuan's safety will not appear for the time being. question.

The most troublesome thing right now is food. The old shopkeeper also said just now that Yuzhou Cheng can't buy food even if he is rich. Being hungry is not a trivial matter, so she looked at Su Xuan worriedly, wondering What should Su Xuan do next?

"Go to the post station to find Yuzhou Post Cheng, and ask him to find a way for us. If he refuses to implement it, he will be taken down directly and sent to the Yamen of Yuzhou Prefecture. I believe that he should be caught in a dilemma when he fishes the master. But no matter what, Zhao Dongchen would never dare to refuse this request, and we will take this opportunity to find out what Zhao Dongchen has to do with this case." Su Xuan said at this time.
