Chapter 66 Some people are not human when they are hungry.
"What kind of low-price transfer?" Li Huai frowned and glared at Zheng Laodao: "Don't you just think they have long mouths and need to eat? If you really can't afford to feed them, just let them go."
Although the government has a surplus of food, it is really not much.
Li Huai didn't think about what he would do for them, so he naturally wouldn't take the blame.
Those who were treated as goods, when they heard that Boss Zheng was going to transfer them to the government at a low price, their eyes lit up with hope.
If it is bought by the government, you no longer have to worry about starving to death or being bought as a two-legged sheep.
However, when they heard Li Huai's words of rejection, the light in their eyes dimmed instantly.
Ruan Xiangxiang looked at this scene and felt a burst of compassion in her heart, but she didn't have the money to buy these people now.
Furthermore, some people are not human beings when they are hungry.
She didn't know if there was such a beast in here.
After all, she had just come to this world and had not yet established herself, so she was not prepared to get angry.
Moreover, she still has to look for Li Cui and Ruan Sanbao, and she really doesn't have the energy to meddle in these people's business.
"This..." Boss Zheng looked embarrassed: "Master Li, aren't you embarrassing the villain? The villain also has a family and needs to eat. If you let them all go, then it will be the villain and his family who will starve to death.
."
Just then, a guy ran in from outside.
"Sir, good news!"
Boss Zheng frowned slightly and cursed: "What happened so suddenly?"
When the waiter saw Li Huai and others, he stopped talking.
Li Huai immediately looked at him with suspicion: "Why didn't you say anything? Is it something shady?"
"Go back to Mr. Li, no." The guy stammered and subconsciously looked at Mr. Zheng.
Boss Zheng waved his hand: "Master Li is here, why don't you tell me quickly?"
The guy agreed repeatedly: "A big boss came over from Baoqing City and said he wanted to buy goods. He spent generously and said he would buy as much as he had. The villain thought that the master still had so many high-quality goods here, so he hurried
I’m here to report to you, Master.”
When Boss Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed. He winked at the clerk and asked, "Did he say the price?"
"Say it." The waiter received the hint from Boss Zheng's eyes and doubled the price offered by the big boss: "He said that you can get either food or silver. In terms of silver, a young and middle-aged male will cost six taels of silver.
, a young woman is paid four taels of silver per piece, and a woman over forty and under ten years old is counted as two taels of silver per piece.
If you want food, you can settle the bill with sorghum rice, one tael of silver for ten kilograms of sorghum rice."
The price of sorghum rice is usually five cents per pound, but now because of the famine, the price the big boss said is much higher than usual.
Even such an absurdly high price is something you can only meet but cannot ask for under the current circumstances.
After all, people can have no money, but they cannot live without food.
Boss Zheng looked at Li Huai: "Master Li, if the court needs it, I am willing to transfer these goods to the court at half the price given by the big boss.
If the court doesn't want them, then the villain will have no choice but to sell them to the big boss."
Although Boss Zheng is a bitch, he still maintains the attitude that a normal person should have towards the current situation of cannibalism.
Therefore, when faced with outside buyers, he is still more willing to sell people to the government. Whether they are fighting in war or working hard, these people can still retain their last appearance as human beings.
