Chapter 32
There are also many villages that have been looted by refugees.

"Go and have a look and you'll know. If you can't get in, then think of other ways." They must be fully supplied with food.

Both Wu and Zhao nodded.

Mu Zhixu stepped back and nodded to Gu Lin.

The group took the time to walk, and finally saw the city gate of Luo County before sunset.

However, the situation was very bad, and a large number of refugees gathered outside the city gate.

There are more than 1000 officers and soldiers guarding the city. Bows and arrows were set up on the tower, aiming at the refugees below.

There is a feeling that if you dare to make trouble, you will be killed without mercy.

Although Luo County is at the junction of Qing'an Mansion and Yongning Mansion, it is impossible to have so many officers and soldiers.

It should be that Yongning Mansion fell, and Qing'an Mansion was strictly guarded, so troops were dispatched here.

The group looked at each other, and Gu Lin and Mu Zhixu stood up, "Everyone stop where they are and take a rest, let's go over and see what's going on."

A large number of refugees poured in. It is impossible for Qing'an Prefecture to prevent refugees from entering the city, but it will definitely control the number of people.

Improve the conditions for entering the city!

Droughts in Yongding and Yongning prefectures met wars, and there were about 10 refugees, at least half of whom went to the southwest.

Except for those who died on the road, there are still some 30 to [-] yuan.

Once this wave of refugees becomes chaotic, it will be difficult to control.

Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin squeezed out from the crowd, and saw a notice posted there.

It's just that very few people see it.

There are very few literate people these days, and everyone is silently confronting the officers and soldiers defending the city!

The shiny knives in the hands of the officers and soldiers flashed coldly in the sun.

Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin glanced at the notice next to it.

It states the conditions for entering the city.

Only 100 people can enter each day, and these 100 people must also pay an entry fee of two taels of silver per person.

After seeing clearly, Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin retreated silently.

"How is it? Can I enter the city?" Wu Sanshui asked in a low voice when he saw the two people coming.

Everyone also gathered around.

Mu Zhixu, "The conditions for entering the city are very strict. Not to mention the entrance fee of two taels of silver per person, only 100 people can enter the city every day!"

"what?!"

"Two taels of silver?!"

"What can we do? Where did we get the money?"

Everyone shouted as soon as they heard it, and Mu Zhixu didn't lower his voice, and the refugees who came with them heard it and started commotion.

But seeing the bows and arrows on the tower, everyone dared not speak out.

I am afraid that I will be shot into a hornet's nest the next moment.

"It's impossible to enter the city for repairs. Let's take a rest outside the city, then bypass Luo County and enter Qing'an Mansion." Mu Zhixu said after seeing that everyone had finished complaining.

"I'm going to go in to get some food, and you two can also send a representative there," she suggested.

"Two taels of silver!" Niu clutched his chest, feeling very distressed.

Mrs. Zhang also frowned, her face full of distress.

Their property is only more than ten taels of silver, and they don't know how long they will go.

Wu Sanshui and Zhao Dahe were also silent.

Mu Zhixu didn't say anything to persuade them. Food supplies are very important, and the road ahead is confused. Only when there is food, don't panic.

Zhao Dahe and Wu Sanshui could also see clearly, they made a decision directly, and they went into the city.

On the Gu family's side, Mu Zhixu planned to go with Gu Lin, but saw cousins ​​and younger siblings who had no fighting power.

Her eyes fell on Gu Lin, "I'm worried."

"Go in, I'll stay." Gu Lin also understood her worry.

The boy's trust in her is very useful!
There are no more places to enter the city today, and they can only wait for tomorrow.

The next day, before dawn, Mu Zhixu took Wu Sanshui and Zhao Dahe to line up.

When they came, there were already more than 30 people queuing up.

The three hurriedly stood over, the conditions for entering the city were harsh, but there were also people who had to enter the city.

If it is late, there will be no places later.

After daybreak, the gates of the city were opened wide, and the refugees outside became commotions, and a group of people changed on the tower.

It is still a bow and arrow with a cold light!
Mu Zhixu took a look and then looked away. Luo County definitely has more than 1000 officers and soldiers.

Otherwise, the officials guarding the city would not be so at ease.

The team was very quiet, and when it was their turn, the three of them paid the money and were let go.

The officers and soldiers didn't even ask about household registration and directions.

Although the household registrations of most refugees are lost, they are usually checked when they enter the city.

Mu Zhixu lowered his eyelids.

After the three of them went in, they went straight to the place where the grain was sold, and when they asked the price of the grain, the three of them who were prepared were shocked.

The lowest grade of broken rice is twelve cents a catty, which is about ten times the amount.

If it was before, the upper-class meter was Liuwen, and the middle-level Sanwen.

There is no high-grade rice in the rice shop, and the price is unknown, but the middle-grade rice is priced at 25 Wen!

"Guests, I don't mind you. The grain price is already very fair. If you don't believe me, go out and see how many rice shops are closed. Most of the rice shops have no rice!" The shopkeeper sighed.

In troubled times, life is not as cheap as a dog, but food prices remain high.

This is forcing people to die, but what can he do?He wants to live too!
Wu Sanshui and Zhao Dahe's faces were full of sorrow.

Mu Zhixu sighed, "Shopkeeper, do you have yellow rice? Do you have black noodles?"

White flour and rice are unaffordable, black flour and yellow rice are better than bark!

"There's only so much yellow rice, ten cents a catty, black noodles here, six cents a catty, how much do you think?" The shopkeeper pointed to the bag next to him.

"So expensive?!" Zhao Dahe frowned deeply.

"Guest officer, there is nothing we can do. My rice shop is still the cheapest." The shopkeeper spread his hands.

"If you don't want it, you may not have it later. You know better than me how precious food is."

Wu Sanshui and Zhao Dahe choked, but they had to admit that the shopkeeper was right.

They squeezed their purses and looked at Mu Zhixu, "Miss Mu, shall we divide these two bags of yellow rice and black flour?"

"Well, I want ten catties each of black noodles and yellow rice, and you share the rest. I'll buy white rice." Mu Zhixu said.

The main purpose of buying white rice is to cover up, so that rice can be smuggled out of space.

When Wu and Zhao heard this, they were a little moved, "Thank you so much, we won't be polite to you."

They thought that Mu Zhixu wanted ten catties each in order to leave more for them.

The two families have a large population and cannot afford rice.

Of course, Mu Zhixu also had this reason, she smiled, "It's okay, we are small, and the number of people is not as large as yours, so we can buy some other mixes."

In the end, the Heimian and Huangmi families shared more than 30 catties each, and the total was [-] catties, and they were tied on their backs.

And Mu Zhixu bought another [-] catties of medium-grade rice and [-] catties of low-grade rice, plus [-] catties each of yellow rice and black flour, and there were also [-] catties.

Seeing her spending money like water, both Wu and Zhao's eyes changed.

It's not about being greedy or something. They have seen the skills of Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin, and they are deeply jealous, so they don't have this idea.
