Chapter 1429: Grain shop

"Last time I came to collect food, the government has already taken a lot of food, and now the price of food is so high, how can we live."
"It is precisely because of the lack of food that things are scarce. It is reasonable to increase the price of rice and face value. If you want to buy it, just buy it and get out of the way. you guys."
Ye Shikai and Shangguan Jian followed the sound source and came to the crowd. I saw a group of people surrounded by a grain shop and arguing with the steward in the shop. Although the quarrel was very noisy, Ye Shikai could probably guess What, presumably, the price of food was too high and people couldn't afford it, so the quarrel started.
In order to fight the wolves, the Qin army dispatched 400,000 horses, and every day needed to consume a lot of food. Ye Shikai knew this. At that time, a 1,500 stone was collected from a village in Sheung Shui alone. This was just For the first time, it may continue to be collected in the future, but in both villages and counties, there are warehouses to store grain. Unless the war continues for several years, it is generally not a situation where there is no food to eat, and food prices rise. It is also natural, but if it is tolerated by the common people, it will be a little more serious, not to mention, the wolf clan has stopped the main operation two weeks ago. Similarly, Qin State will not continue to increase troops and lack food. Why is the situation worsening.
"Lao Ye, it's not easy to see these people." Shang Guanjian said suddenly.
"What do you mean."
"This grain shop has recruited so many strong men as guards, and each of them carries weapons, spears, knives and sabers. His Majesty the Emperor has long ordered that the private possession of weapons is strictly prohibited. It makes sense, but if you look at these people, there are 30 or 40 people, and this may be only part of the gatekeeper. "Shang Guanjian said this, Ye Shikai seemed to understand something. If it was not allowed by the county order, they are It is impossible to equip so many weapons.
"If you gather here again, I will report to the government."
"Guard, drive them away."
"Hurry on, hurry on."
Dozens of guards at the shop are waving their weapons. Although the people around them are dissatisfied and even resentful, they do not dare to rush forward. It seems that there is something to fear ...
Suddenly, a man rushed out of the crowd, rushed forward, dug two spoonfuls of rice with a water scoop, and drew it up with clothes.
"Guard, someone wants to grab the food, stop him soon." The shopkeeper shouted loudly, a few strong guards surrounded him immediately, kicked the man to the ground, and some people even pulled out their sabre and wanted Kill yourself.
"Stop it." Ye Shikai took out the long bow, pulled the bow and set the arrow, and the arrow shot instantly. The arrow and the blade collided. The powerful force shook the guard's arm, and the palm fell off. The sword fell directly to the ground. Realizing that something was wrong, the guards were dismounted and followed Ye Shikai.
Ye Shikai walked straight ahead, followed by a group of heavily armed guards, those guards did not dare to stop for a while.
"What kind of people are you?" The shop steward was a little puzzled, looking at the style of military uniforms, not like Yangxian's garrison.
"What kind of people are you? In the broad daylight, you dare to take the lives of others. According to Qin law, this is a death penalty." Ye Shikai said coldly.
"This ... didn't you see it just now, he was going to grab the food just now."
"He grabs food in violation of the Qin Law, but your men still kill people, and it is still a death sentence, and it is your order, so you can't escape the crime of death." Ye Shikai said with a dark face, loudly, if it wasn't for his shot, I am afraid this man is Really dying.
"This military grandfather, the county's small and medium-sized grain stores are all opened here. These days, the price of food has skyrocketed. They are deliberately preventing us from living. They also asked the military grandfather to preside over justice."
"Yeah, please ask Grandpa to preside over justice." The people said one after another, seemingly aggrieved.
"This ... please listen to us to explain." The shopkeeper saw Ye Shikai and others who were fully armed, and all of a sudden they were unruly.
"Are you the shopkeeper? Explain it clearly." Shang Guanjian also came over and said lightly.
"In these days, the county's food shortage is inevitable, and soaring food prices are inevitable." The shopkeeper waved his hands in a difficult look.
"Adults don't listen to them blindly saying that these people are hoarding, selling grain at high prices, and making huge profits." A common man shouted.
"Selling grain during wartime and making huge profits is a serious crime. Are you tired of it?" Mancang pulled out his sword and shouted loudly. He always hated the traitors, especially those who ignored the life and death of the people.
"Here ... please check carefully, military officer. It is indeed insufficient. In order to prevent people from looting, we have also set a daily limit on food purchases."
Ye Shikai didn't do it directly, but he already had the answer in his heart, and now he only has one piece of evidence.
"What's behind." Ye Shikai noticed that behind the grain shop were several two-story buildings, one building connected together.
"It used to be some shops, but they were abandoned. No one has been here for a long time." The shopkeeper quickly explained, Ye Shikai found that his eyes kept glancing towards the shop, which was a typical guilty conscience.
"Are you sure ... hasn't anyone been here for a long time?" Ye Shikai stepped forward, reached out and touched the outer door, but there was no dust on the palm.
"Of course, of course."
"Huh, that's good." Ye Shikai turned around and shouted out loud, "Many positions, start, and break these doors for me."
"Well, come here, break me open." Mancang rushed up with the guards and kicked the wooden door open at a speed that was too late to even respond to the shopkeeper.
"Masters, don't ..."
The wooden door was opened and everyone rushed in. However, the wooden door was empty, except for a few broken tables and chairs ~ EbookFREE.me ~.
"How are you, military soldiers, I didn't lie to you."
"Really, since no one here has been here for a long time, why is this outside door so clean, is it possible ... Do you still send someone to wipe it every day?" Ye Shikai sneered, how can such a clumsy "obstructive eye method" hide Got him.
"Full warehouse, take people to search and see if there is any authenticity."
"Well, subordinates obey."
At the same time, Ye Shikai asked the guards to seal the door from anyone, and slowly turned towards the shopkeeper.
"Since you say these shops are deserted, it's not yours, right?"
"Yes, yes, Grandpa is right."
"Then, if I searched for food, it would not be yours, right."
