Lu Weng asked all the Yun family to move to his Taolin Villa, and Mr. Peng Li also asked Yun Zheng to hide in Jinjiang Academy as soon as possible, but Yun Zheng refused them all, with the excuse that he needed to be taken care of.
There are a lot of people and we can't just leave. The reason is very noble.
As long as the heavy snow falls for one more day, the crisis will become even more critical. Chengdu people who have little experience with heavy snow suddenly realize that the big trouble comes after the snow stops. The sun is shining fiercely, but the ground is getting colder. When the cold fog comes,
After that, the incident of people freezing to death in Chengdu Prefecture was inevitable.
In fact, not many people froze to death, most of them were homeless, but the sight of government officials dragging carts and throwing corpses onto the carts early in the morning made people feel chilly in their hearts.
By the time the government discovered that such a thing would irritate more people and changed the task of picking up dead bodies in the morning, it was too late, and the entire Chengdu Prefecture was shrouded in a cloud of fear.
"People are starting to die!" Xiao Lin's face was even colder than the cold fog outside.
"This is actually not serious. I have read local chronicles. Cold fog comes to Chengdu every year. When the cold fog comes, people will freeze to death. For example, there were 16 zombies the year before last."
Yun Zheng handed a bowl of hot porridge to Xiao Lin, and also ordered Bao Poo to get Xiao Lin a new pair of boots that were thick enough. This guy had run for who knows how many miles. In seven or eight days, a pair of shoes would be torn apart.
His dark feet were already covered in frostbite.
Xiao Lin finished drinking the hot porridge, groaned, took a jar of wine from the corner, poured a bowl into the porridge bowl, drank it all as soon as he raised his neck, put down the bowl and said to Yunzheng doubtfully: "It's very strange.
, I don’t know who is leading this disaster. I have been tracing all the way, but I can’t find any clues. No one has seen the fisherman who fished out the stone man. No one remembers the scene when the stone man fished the stone man out of the river.
But every fisherman who has seen the stone man swears that there is indeed such a person, and ten people can say ten things in their mouths. Even Dong Lei in the mountain can't find any useful information, and what follows one after another
The coming heavy snow covered all traces without a trace,
Pindao estimated that these people were all evil-minded and were already lurking, waiting for things to develop to an irremediable level before he raised his arms and immediately followers would swarm over.
Hundreds of people have frozen to death this year. We know this is caused by the cold fog, but the people don't know that they think they are starving to death. The government has actually distributed some food to these people. Some people have frozen to death.
There is still food in the food bag. Panic, the biggest problem in Chengdu now is panic."
Bacon brought Xiaolin cotton boots. Xiaolin held them in his hands and sighed, then went back to his room to rest. He was exhausted from the endless toil these days.
Bacon looked up at his young master and asked worriedly: "Will there be civil unrest in Chengdu, young master? Our family has just stabilized. If civil unrest breaks out and our family's food is taken away, those women will starve to death."
Yun Zheng looked at the bacon apologetically and said: "No, no, if the hearts of those businessmen are really made of stone, then let the civil unrest come soon. More money can only prove that you are rich, but it cannot prove that you are rich."
You can ignore the life and death of others."
Barou couldn't understand Yun Zheng's words, so he went to Lu Qingqing's place in confusion, and was about to ask his wife if she understood what the young master said. Yun Zheng walked into the cold mist again, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, it was cold to the bone.
I have encountered this kind of cold fog in Dousha Village before, and I still remember the scene when I hugged Yun Er and shivered while wrapped in a ragged quilt.
Shaking his head with difficulty, the Chinese people are actually the kindest and most hard-working. As long as they have food to eat, they will be grateful to the rulers. This disaster is far from the level of rebellion, because there are no farmers to join.
Their harvest last year was not much damaged, so the food at home was barely enough for him to last until the next harvest season.
A rebellion without the participation of farmers will not succeed. This time Yun Zheng just wanted to create an illusion to force the government and wealthy businessmen to start selling grain. Now it seems that these people's hearts are much harder than Yun Zheng expected. If there is no further
They will not let go of any pressure.
There are sellers of kerosene in Chengdu Prefecture, and poor people use it to light lamps. The fumes are huge, and the Yun family also has some, which are used in workshops and are made into torches when extracting spices. They are very resistant to burning.
After Yun Zheng distilled these black liquids, he got seven or eight bottles of light yellow liquid. He couldn't tell whether it was gasoline or kerosene. In short, Yun Zheng knew that after lighting this thing, it would not be ignited without sand.
The delay device couldn't stop Yun Zheng. When the incense head meets saltpeter, a bright flame will be generated. Six hours is the limit...
The grain sold by the Zhang family has begun to be mixed with sand. This is what Hao Er told Yun Zheng. There is already a lot of grain mixed with sand in his family's grain warehouse, and he plans to start doing business after the cold fog recedes.
After Yun Zheng, who was still feeling guilty, heard these words, the little guilt he felt immediately disappeared...
So the Zhang family's grain depot started to catch fire, and the flames were so huge that from when the smoke was first discovered to when the fire became bigger, there was no time for a cup of tea, and the fire happened just when the Zhang family planned to open for business.
Food cannot be burned by fire. The people crowded outside Zhang's shop carried various containers and began to put out the fire. With the strength of the people, the fire was put out. The Zhang family was extremely grateful. The shopkeeper was about to say a few words of thanks.
A strong man came out, filled his wooden barrel with a barrel full of grain mixed with burnt brown rice, and said to the inexplicable shopkeeper: "You don't need to thank me. Since it was me who saved your granary, I will take it away."
A bucket of rice does not count as taking advantage of you."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Just as the shopkeeper was about to stop him, he found that the people who had been helping him save the life were all happily filling rice. Everyone said that this was their reward for putting out the fire.
Then the scene became chaotic. Whether those who put out the fire or those who didn't put out the fire would say thank you to the shopkeeper, and then start rushing to get their own share of food.
When the government officials arrived, they had no choice but to watch a disorderly robbery take place under their noses.
The shopkeeper's voice was as shrill as a she-wolf that had lost its cubs. He stepped forward furiously to stop these crazy robbers, but he didn't know who pushed him. The shopkeeper fell to the ground with a cry, and immediately there was someone.
A big foot stepped on his body and rushed towards the granary behind him.
The shopkeeper's voice came out at first, and gradually as more and more big feet stepped on him, blood spurted out of his mouth like a stream, and he was actually trampled to death...
When Magistrate Zhao arrived with the Yongxing Army, the granary of the Zhang family had become empty. There were scattered brown rice and charred wood everywhere on the ground, and of course the corpse of the shopkeeper who was still alive. Magistrate Zhao was very sad.
He looked up to the sky and screamed, and then gave the scribe a decisive order.
"Send the order and tell the grain merchants that if they don't sell grain in large quantities at the price in early autumn, the government will be unable to protect them. From tomorrow on, Changpingcang will no longer restrict people from buying grain, but Li Zheng will be required to lead the team.
Mutual protection between each other to ensure that every household can buy food..."
After three days of sunshine, the cold fog finally subsided. On a rare good day, Yun Zheng and Lu Qingqing were playing chess in front of the window, enjoying the warm afternoon sun.
Although Lu Qingqing is charming, he plays chess aggressively and likes robbing and killing the most. Yun Zheng's chess style is still unremarkable. When Lu Qingqing worked hard to intercept and kill one of Yun Zheng's big dragons, he found that Yun Zheng had already killed him.
The previously scattered territory was connected into a large area without any trace, and Lu Qingqing began to occupy more and more land. Unfortunately, there were very few usable places. The territory occupied by the big dragon that he had intercepted and killed earlier was also being fought over.
At the end of the day, a lot of losses were incurred.
Yun Zheng placed the last chess piece on the chessboard, then wiped his hands with a white handkerchief and said: "There is no doubt that I won. What else can Madam say this time?"
Lu Qingqing threw down the chess pieces angrily and said, "You're so shameless! When the two armies are fighting, you are not fighting openly and openly, but you are constantly encroaching on the territory. Playing chess with you is the most boring thing!"
"The purpose of playing chess is to see who captures the most territory in the end, not to see who kills the most chess pieces. Your husband has never been a good person. He always does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. As long as the final goal is achieved, who will pay attention to you?
What method was used, not to mention, Madam's lips are always so sweet."
Yun Zheng domineeringly moved Lu Qing's head and kissed him heavily. Since he was collecting bets, he didn't have to deal with the tenderness and sweetness...
After tasting the fragrant lips, Yun Zheng took a small bag of tea and went to Chengdu. The city was very lively these two days. People buying grain were everywhere. The streets were bustling with people. Although the grain merchants on the street were selling grain with sad faces,
, but the price has been steadily controlled at the level of early autumn.
There are a lot of people in the teahouse, and many rich people come to the street to see the business. As long as there are more smiling faces than sad faces on the street, they will feel more relieved. No one wants to end up like Lao Zhang.
, not only did he die in vain, but he also gained a reputation as someone who was unkind because of his wealth. When he died, there were footprints all over his body and his internal organs were stepped out.
As soon as Yun Zheng entered the teahouse, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him. Yun Zheng took out the tea leaves in his arms, put them in the shopkeeper's hands, and sat down at the seat he had reserved.
As soon as he sat down, someone came around and whispered: "Have you heard? The fire in Old Zhang's house was actually set by someone sent by the prefect. Only when a grain merchant dies can he order the grain merchants to open the door.
Only in this way will there be no complaints from officials."
Yun Zheng said in surprise: "No way, Magistrate Zhao has a good reputation in Shu. This time he issued a strict order to save the people from fire and water. Look at how happy these poor ghosts are on the street.
Already."
This very skilled man filled his own cup with tea from Yunzheng's teapot and said: "You are young and have no idea how dark people's hearts are. When you were riding all over the street a few days ago..." (Unfinished)
