Take the supermarket across to the deserted road

Chapter 70 Hear the news about the Temple of Heaven again

"Miss, it's really not easy for them to pick a child."

Yanyan asked, "What is their purpose?"

Daniu glanced at the soldier next to him, and after seeing the lady signaled that he was fine, he began to tell the news he had inquired about.

"It turns out that every two households are in charge of a county. The children selected are those who have eaten R meat first, then those who have had diseases before, and finally those who are in good health. The most suitable age is seven or eight years old, and more than 12 years old. No, there are no restrictions for men and women."

"It's the same with me. First ask if you have eaten meat. If you have, you will ask your age. As long as you are not sick, you will stay." Mo Niang added. "I also heard the two stewards complain that there are fewer and fewer children to choose, and they have to relax the conditions in order to deal with the head of the family."

The selection criteria they mentioned is interesting.

"Is there any more?" Yan Yan asked.

"Yes," Daniel continued, "I heard from them that many disaster victims want to leave a son to inherit the incense. As long as the disaster victims hand over the reserved child, they can persist for another six months."

Xiao Jia's expression became uneasy, "Are they going to raise the price again?"

Daniel looked at him in surprise, "How do you know, they really said so."

"These people really deserve to die." Xiao Jia stamped his feet angrily, but in the end he could only sigh weakly. "Hey."

Yanyan already guessed the possibility.

"Did the government buy food from them?"

Xiao Jia nodded, feeling unwilling, "Let's not talk about those big families, there are no less than two hundred merchants in the city that store grain worth thousands of shi, and there are more than 50 stores that store grain of tens of thousands shi. If these grains are taken out, even The disaster victims can eat one meal a day, and they can eat it for several years."

The generals have counted.

The 90 disaster victims eat almost 80 shi of rice a day, and hundreds of shi of bran, which is 2400 shi of rice a month. Be conservative, 2000 shi can last a month, and a year is [-] shi of rice.

much?It's a lot, but for those big merchants, they only need to pay half of it per person, and the two hundred households will be [-] shi, which can make the victims eat more than they can eat for eight years.

Besides, they don't take it for nothing, they pay for it, and those merchants don't agree with it.

Not only is the price of food rising every day, but it is also limited, which is simply bullying.

You know, the food they hoarded was bought at a low price at the beginning of the drought, and now they sell it at a price a hundred times higher, and they are not afraid of thunder.

If it weren't for the state's efforts to protect these victims and take out all the money from the treasury, these people would have starved to death long ago.

"The merchants in Jinchuan are a very good explanation of what it means to be a business without profiteers. They don't have any feelings for family and country, and they just know how to make money, heh."

Xiaojia's face was full of sarcasm, and at the same time, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.

Yanyan was a little puzzled, "Why didn't your boss take you to borrow food?"

Special circumstances are dealt with in a special way, and the foreign monarch's life will not be accepted. If it is her, if there is no agreement, she will directly copy the guy.

Xiaojia smiled wryly, "Why didn't I borrow it, but was stopped by someone. Miss Yan, do you know why these people came to choose children?"

Um?Are the two related?
It is impossible for the court to stop it, so it is an existence that the court has to obey.

"Tiandian?" She first thought of this so-called power above the country, and then thought about Li Qiang's previous actions, this guess is almost inseparable.

"Miss Yan, have you heard of Tiandian? It's them."

His sense of powerlessness was caused by this, "No one dares to disobey the order of the Temple of Heaven, even our great general. It is said,,"

He paused, looked around, and lowered his voice.

"It is said that the one above did not get the approval of the hall master, and he was unwilling to abdicate, so he was punished by a drought for ten years."

Speaking of this, he was aggrieved, "You say, the people above them are at odds, and you can find a way to solve it yourself, or single-handedly, it is really impossible to start a war, why are you joking about the lives of ordinary people? What a shit Lord."

He scolded the last sentence in such a low voice that it was almost inaudible.

Although his family is taken care of by the army, what about others, do they deserve it?Are common people's lives so cheap?

As for why he didn't scold the one above, because that one used all the money for disaster relief and didn't care about the lives of the people.

It was the second time Yanyan heard about the severe drought.

She has always felt that it is not normal for there to be no rain for three years, but if it is artificial, the palace needs to be as powerful as possible.

She intends to keep a low profile, especially when meeting people in Tiandian, try not to start a conflict when she doesn't know what's going on with the other party.

"Miss Yan, I want to go back."

Xiaojia remembered that she wanted to report a letter to Vice General Han, and quickly bought a batch before the grain price went up.

Before Yanyan could say anything, Xiaojia ran away.

Yanyan pinched her chin with a serious expression.

Xiaoyong looked up at his mother with the same worried expression.

"Mother, will the plan conflict with that Heavenly Palace?"

"I can't make up my mind. In fact, 90 people are nothing to worry about, as long as they have money, the problem is, who will sell their children when the victims have something to eat?"

That would definitely conflict with the plan of the Temple of Heaven.

Xiao Dan said fearlessly, "Mother, you are all gods, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Yanyan touched her daughter's little head, smiled and said nothing.

My family knows about their family affairs, and her supermarket fairy is completely fictional.

Xiaoyong explained to his younger sister, "Although my mother and the palace master are backed by gods, one is a long-established power that the four great powers are afraid of, and the other is a 200-member team that has just been formed. Do you think this is comparable? ?”

"Oh, that's right," Xiao Dan realized that he had overlooked something, "Mom, let's develop our power too, there are so many victims."

"Impossible." Xiaoyong explained to her again.

"How could the government just watch my mother develop so many disaster victims into her subordinates? I remember my master said that individuals cannot have private soldiers. Even guards or servants have restrictions. The number of people should be limited according to their identities. If you exceed it, you violate the law."

"Then why is Tiandian so powerful that even the army is afraid?"

Xiaoyong couldn't answer this question for a while, so he could only shake his head, "I don't know either, maybe the other party's identity was not simple from the beginning, maybe the other party had extraordinary abilities, maybe the other party was not alone in the first place, but What about a power?"

If you want to know why, you must further understand, and any ideas now are guesswork.

Yanyan gently touched her son's head, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll just change the plan."

"Mother," Xiaoyong said a little unwillingly, "this is a very good opportunity."

Yanyan didn't feel it was a pity, "There will be opportunities again, as long as the task is completed, at worst I will change places."

Originally, she wanted to play the big game, change the sales model from retail to wholesale, and then give her identity a boost, but because of the existence of this heavenly temple, she'd better be on the safe side.

"However, I will give it a try. I believe that these people are definitely more willing to do serious business than pick children."
