Destiny Blessed Girl

Chapter 242 Buying Food
There are many more refugees than she imagined. Regardless of whether it is official or wild, refugees can be seen everywhere. Fortunately, there are no natural disasters in the East this year. Although the refugees are suffering, they have not yet reached the point of desperation. It is just that there are so many people in official circles. , causing the carriage to be unable to travel quickly, and it took ten days to arrive after a seven-day journey.

It was only when she arrived outside the capital city that she realized that the capital city was no longer something she could enter if she wanted to.

A large number of refugees gathered outside the city, much more than the refugees outside Yunzhou City.

The court seems to have found a way to settle the refugees. They are building temporary straw sheds outside the city, and there are better porridge sheds. The refugees are queuing up to receive the porridge in an orderly manner.

The carriage was stopped at the gate of the city, needless to say, all kinds of interrogations, but fortunately her household registration and road guides have been kept safe, and the guards asked her to wait after the inspection was correct, and she could not open the city until the end of the hour Door.After they inquired, they realized that if they wanted to enter the city, they had to meet two conditions. One was that the household registration and road guides in Kyoto were complete, and the other was that the number of people in a household should not exceed ten.Then the gate of the city is now only opened twice a day, once at the end of the day and once at the end of the day.

Fortunately, Gu Zhian has met both of these two targets, and he only needs to wait another hour before he can enter the city.

There were quite a few people waiting like her, among them were several caravans, one seemed to be in the cloth business, the carriages were covered with green tarpaulins, and the cloth was covered with yards, and the other had more than a dozen mule carts , Lao Gao’s goods were piled up on the cart, all wrapped tightly with green oilcloth, Gu Zhian saw that the green tarpaulin of one of the mule carts was a little loose, revealing the sackcloth sacks that were faintly visible inside.

When she was in Yunzhou, she went to the grain shop. The bags used to hold the grain in the grain shop are usually this kind of burlap bag, which is durable.

Gu Zhian's eyes flashed, he immediately jumped off the frame, and walked slowly towards the caravan.

"May I ask this gentleman, what your caravan transports is grain?" Gu Zhian spoke to the middle-aged man who was standing beside a mule cart talking to others.

The middle-aged man frowned first when he heard the sound, then turned his head with a very bad expression, seeing that it was a young girl and no one was paying attention to them, he was relieved, and asked in a low voice: "Young lady, why do you ask this? "

Gu Zhian smiled innocently, "If Mister comes to the capital to sell grain, why don't you sell it to me, I'll take it all."

She just counted eighteen carts of grain, at least seven or eight hundred catties per cart, so it would be best if she could buy them.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look carefully at the girl in front of him. He saw that although the girl was extremely beautiful, she was wearing an unremarkable light blue jacket. The fabrics are all very common, and it doesn't look like someone who can eat so much food in one bite.

"Isn't the girl joking?" The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he felt that the little girl in front of him was trying to amuse him.

Gu Zhian shook his head, "Of course not, I sincerely want to buy it. To tell you the truth, I didn't buy food for myself, but for the people in Yunzhou City. They are about to run out of food, and I have to drive ten days to get there. The purpose of Jingdu City is to transfer grain to the past. Not only do you want to buy yours, but also buy more, uncle, you don’t know how miserable the people in Yunzhou City are—”

The middle-aged man was dumbfounded, didn't he just talk about buying food?Why are you crying again now?He said that the price of food was soaring, and the common people could not buy food, they could only eat bran and swallowed vegetables, etc., which made him seem like a profiteer who raised prices on the ground.

"Girl, I can't take charge of this matter. I'm just in charge of the escort, but I will report your purchase of this batch of grain to our big shopkeeper, and I will give you an answer when the time comes."

This kind of result was also within Gu Zhian's expectations. With such a large amount of grain, how could it be said that the transaction was just a transaction? There are still many troublesome procedures, but now she has at least a [-]% chance of buying it.

While talking, an hour passed. When the city gate opened, a team of city guards rushed out from inside, drew their swords to maintain order, and strictly prohibited refugees from entering.

After entering the city, Gu Zhian did not go back to Shiliu Lane directly, but went to several grain shops to inquire about grain prices, and expressed her willingness to buy grain in large quantities, regardless of whether it was new grain or old grain.At the same time, she also inquired about the current situation, and after learning that the emperor was seriously ill, and now the crown prince was in charge of the country, she immediately regained her spirits, and was not in a hurry to buy food, so she turned around and went back to Shiliu Lane.
