Chapter 799 Putting the Long Line, Catching Big Fish

Chapter 799 Putting the Long Line, Catching Big Fish

In front of the grain store, no one left the queue. They pretended not to hear what Lin Yuesha said, and robbed the grain even more resolutely.

Lin Yuesha frowned, instigated by people with ulterior motives. Once a tense atmosphere is created, the common people will have preconceived notions. Even if they learn that unscrupulous businessmen are making huge profits from it, for them, it is more important for them to have enough money to survive the immediate hurdles. .

"Girl, look at other shops that haven't lowered the price of rice and grain, so what if we don't grab some? Now that we are involved in the border war in Daqi, our city of Wucheng is involved, and the price will increase sooner or later!"

Everyone whispered and sighed.

"It's not a big deal. A few decades ago, there was a famine in Wucheng, and relatives turned against each other because of a handful of rice..."

The old aunt kept sighing, they had a little money in their hands, so they could only choose to save food, in order not to cause trouble to their relatives, in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, human relations will become extraordinarily fragile.

"Miss, we can't make sense at all."

Baicha went to the rice store not far from the street to inquire, and it was already sold out and closed, and the people who hadn't bought the rice were running around, inquiring.

Almost all the people in Wucheng mobilized to rob rice grains, and the price of rice grains continued to soar. It was no longer a situation that the city defenders could control.

"I always feel like there's a conspiracy involved."

It's not Lin Yuesha's conspiracy theory, but it's fermenting too fast at this time. Combined with the behavior of the little man with evil eyebrows and mouse eyes, someone is spreading rumors secretly and quickly, so that when they are discovered, it is too late to stop them.

"The other party's calculations are accurate, and we are very passive. Even if the rumors are clarified, the embarrassing thing is that no one believes it."

It all depends on one mouth, but the common people believe the worst result.

"If this goes on like this, Wucheng will be in chaos, and the people will start to blame the city lord."

In the line for buying rice, white tea couldn't get in at all, and some people even fought each other because of jumping in line.

Although the defenders tried their best to maintain order, they had little effect.

"Rumors are spreading too fast. In order to crush the rumors, the best way is to lower the price of grain and open warehouses to release grain."

Make sure that the people buy a large amount of rice at the original price, and the supply is sufficient, so that everyone will believe that the rumors are not true, and Wucheng has not been affected.

"Young Madam, the rumors are true."

The dark guard got the news and reported to Lin Yuesha, "Our food and grass were lit by a foreign race, and most of them were burned..."

This was originally a secret, but it was spread out unexpectedly. It is no wonder that the people of Wucheng panicked.

For the only small part left, Mrs. Xu and others risked their lives to protect them. In order to save Mrs. Xu, Xu Da was captured alive by people of different races and taken away from the border town.

"That is to say, we have regained the border town, but we lack military supplies, especially food and grass?"

Lin Yuesha was already prepared. After learning that the news was true, she was still nervous. She didn't dare to imagine how Xu Da would be tortured if she fell into the hands of a foreign race.

"Our remaining food and grass can last up to half a month at most."

The voice of the hidden guards became smaller and smaller. In half a month, even if they were purchased from Qin Cheng, there might not be enough time to replenish them.

Even though the aliens withdrew from the customs, they were still eyeing them covetously, and captured one of the main generals on Daqi's side, so they must make a big fuss.

"We want to raise food and grass, so we can only provide emergency assistance in the surrounding cities."

After all, half a month is still too urgent, and the collection of food and grass from Wucheng to deliver it further confirmed the rumors of the little man with thieves and mouse eyes that the Daqi army was after the people of Wucheng.

"If we spend money to buy and buy back the high-priced grain that the people have already bought, it will be many times more expensive than before."

One link after another, forcing one's own side to be in a dilemma.

This move has caused losses to the people, and it is not guaranteed that there will be other twists and turns.

In the battle ahead, it is extremely important to stabilize the rear, and the backyard must not catch fire.

Lin Yuesha has been helping with the purchases, knowing that there is not much money left in the account, and the money has to be spent wisely, and it will be even more difficult to squeeze out a part to provide food and grass.

"Miss, this servant thinks you are so difficult!"

Especially now, when the generals of Qi learned that Lin Yuesha was married to Qi Heng, as the wife of a major general, could they ignore them?
After tasting the white tea, he suspected that Mazilian was also playing tricks, and tricked his young lady into doing coolies.

"Do not think too much."

Lin Yuesha patted Baicha's shoulder. Although Qi Heng was calculating, it was not necessary to calculate these things. As a citizen of Daqi, she took the initiative to stand up and help, even if Qi Heng was not in the middle, it would be the same.

After waiting for more than an hour, the grain store closed, and the crowd finally dispersed, making way for the carriage.

The coachman came back and replied: "Young Madam, I really made you guess, that sly-eyed guy is stirring up trouble everywhere, and the younger one has hired a few of our people to follow him and set a long line to catch big fish."

If it is a spy of a foreign race, follow that person to find out and wipe out the strongholds left by the foreign race.

"Okay, nice job!"

Lin Yuesha got into the carriage and asked the coachman to take her to the camp outside the city.

Seeing that it was getting dark and dinner was only served in the carriage, Lin Yuesha soaked the iced dumplings in hot water and kept her head buried in thinking.

There is not enough food, and there are still some sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can be cut into pieces and put in the meals. On the premise of ensuring that the soldiers will not be hungry, the original half-month inventory will be extended to 20 days.

Wucheng is not too big, and there is a wide official road. When we arrived at Daying, it was already midnight.

Bonfires were lit everywhere in the camp, and the wounded soldiers helped each other, and there was a mess everywhere.

After Yan Yan finished her work, she was lying on the blanket, motionless. She had worked intensively for several days, and now she just wanted to pass out immediately.

"Sister Yuesha, why are you here?"

Seeing Lin Yuesha, Yan Yan reluctantly opened her eyes. She was treating the wounded here, and the rest of the soldiers had already entered the border of Daqi and joined Gu Yi's men.

"Sister Yan, you can't lie on the ground."

Lin Yuesha hurried forward to help her. It was freezing outside and the ground inside the tent was also cold. The woman had to be careful, if the cold air entered her body, the root cause of the disease would fall.

"I know, it hasn't been a quarter of an hour since I lay down."

Yan Yan sat up, rubbed her face that was so stiff and numb with her hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thanks to the pills you brought, Mrs. Xu has recovered after taking it."

There were wounded soldiers stationed in the camp outside Wucheng. After Mrs. Xu got better, she led her men into the border gate, and Wu Ya followed.

"Auntie, can she bear it?"

Lin Yuesha closed her eyes and held back a word for a long while.

Mother and child love each other deeply, but neither of them are used to expressing their temperaments. Xu Da was captured, and she was afraid that Mrs. Xu would blame herself.

"Something happened..."

No matter how unacceptable it is, it still happened.

This is not the first time Mrs. Xu has been on the battlefield. After taking the pills, she began to take out the map to study the terrain.
