From martial arts apprentice to Dagan martial artist

Chapter 111 Grain squeezed out
Li Yi walked out of the small building, and when he saw Shen Jianshan, he laughed and laughed.

"Haha, senior brother Yan Er is newly married, and he's not staying at home, so why do you have time to find junior brother?"

Shen Jianshan's face was not very good-looking, and he was not in the mood to laugh when he saw him, and hurriedly walked into the house.

"Something happened!" His tone was solemn.

Li Yi also put away the giggling look, and his expression became serious.

"The people of your family who went out to transport food were attacked."

As early as before, he had explained to Shen Jianshan, if the family let him go out during this time.

No matter what you do, you must refuse, don't go, otherwise there will be danger.

Now it seems that what he said has come true.

Shen Jianshan nodded solemnly, "I didn't go, my uncle went to transport food on my behalf. He should have come back three days ago, but there is still no news."

The Shen family did not want to transport grain from other cities. If a large amount of grain was transported from other cities, it would be impossible.

Along the way, people eat horse chews, and there are difficulties and obstacles in the mountains and forests. It is difficult to send large-scale people and horses to transport food.

Even if it can be shipped, it will take two or three months to say the least.

It's too long and it's not worth doing at all.

What's more, there is a high probability that it will not be shipped.

Their so-called grain transportation is to go to other places and transport the grains of the Shen family from other places in Sifang City.

Sifang City, everything within a radius of a hundred miles is safe, but a hundred miles away, their Shen family is not without property.

Previously, Li Yi went to trade with them all the way, no matter which village or town there was part of the Shen family's industry.

Although they have suffered disasters there, they still have a lot of food there, and they are ready to temporarily transport it into the city for storage.

There should also be some members of the Shen family who came back with him.

But no matter how slow it was, as early as three days ago, the first group of people from a hundred miles away should have returned.

But to this day, there is still no news.

Therefore, Shen Jianshan thought that Li Yi had told him this before, so he came to find him specially.

"Patriarch Shen, do you know about this?" Li Yifa asked.

"Of course I know that. The owner has sent people to investigate."

Shen Jianshan responded.

"Since that's the case, you don't have to worry, senior brother. Don't go out of the city casually these days, just wait at home."

Li Yi's expression is very calm. The Shen family is a big family. It is by no means an easy task to solve such a big family. Obviously, the four major families have already started slowly.

The people Shen Yue sent out to investigate might not be able to come back, and even if they came back, they would be damaged a lot.

At that time, I go to see him again, and maybe I can talk with him about cooperation.

"It seems that it can only be like this now. This world is really chaotic day by day."

Shen Jianshan sighed helplessly, even though he had just gotten married, he could see that the chaos inside and outside the city was getting worse day by day, and the price of food was getting higher day by day.

It's hard to say what happened to the clansmen outside.

After all, if there are really hungry bandits, it is not impossible to rob them.

After sending Shen Jianshan away, Li Yi still won't be able to continue his practice in the future.

The county magistrate hurried to find him, and Li Yi rode a carriage to the front of the government office.

At this moment, the government office is already in a depression, and all the officers have been transferred to the outer city to maintain law and order, but the effect is not great.

The situation remains chaotic day by day.

With less and less food, the gangs in the streets and cities are more and more prosperous.

There were dozens of people gathered in the street, and there were only seven or eight people in the smaller ones.

The leader may have practiced martial arts for a few days, but at most it is in the realm of meat refining.

It is also because of them that the situation in the city is becoming more and more chaotic day by day.

"Tang Zun." Li Yi saw the county Zun in the side hall.

At this moment, the county magistrate's face was full of sadness, and even his hair was a lot white.

It can be seen that the famine in the city is getting worse day by day, which really makes him extremely irritable.

The more than 20 square cities in Sifang City have a combined population of nearly 40, and most of the people need him to find a way to feed them.

If the weather is good on weekdays, naturally there is no need to worry.

But once there is famine, it is chaos.

Once 40 people become chaotic and hungry, what will happen then!
This is simply unimaginable.

"After knowing what you said a while ago, this official found a way to gather a batch of food.

Not much, only three thousand stones.But this food had to be transported out of the city by himself. "

Xianzun opened his mouth, and his tone sounded a bit low.

Li Yi said before that there were hungry people and refugees outside the city, and he naturally noticed it.

And I understand what those peasants who plough the fields will do if they are really hungry and anxious.

Therefore, during this period of time, he tried his best to get [-] stone grains. Although it was only a drop in the bucket, he had done his best.

There is really no way to get another grain of food from anywhere else.

"Xiaguan thanked Tang Zun for the hungry people outside the city."

Li Yi looked serious, bowed his body and bowed his hands.

In this world, one stone of grain is one hundred catties.

Three thousand stones of grain is a full 30 catties.

Half a catty of food per person per day, mixed with some wild vegetable sprouts and roots.

This food is enough to feed 1 people for two months.

With this food, the famine situation outside the city will be largely alleviated.

There will definitely be many, many fewer people who starve to death.

"No need to thank you, this official can only make up so much, so they don't blame this official at that time."

The county magistrate sighed helplessly, the three thousand stone grains were his best efforts as the magistrate.

No matter how many he can't make it out, after all, there are still many people in the city.

"Xiaguan understands, I will find someone to transport the food out of the city for disaster relief. When the famine is over, the people outside the city will definitely give you the Ten Thousand People Umbrella."

Li Yi said, in all fairness, their county magistrate was actually a good official.

If it is said to be clean, it is impossible, but there is no excessive greed and greed.

Even in the event of a natural disaster, he tried his best to provide relief, which was already very good.

It is not an exaggeration to send a few Wanmin umbrellas to make him famous.

"Tang Zun, now that there is a famine in the city, it is better to let the five major families in the inner city donate some of the food."

Li Yi took this opportunity to speak, he knew that apart from the Shen family, the other four families would not take out a grain of food.

They were happy to see the situation in Sifang City getting worse day by day.

In this way, those peasants who have worked hard to save a few mu of thin fields will sell their fields to them at a very low price.

He even sold his sons and daughters to them as slaves.

The big businessmen outside the city will also sell their shops and houses at very low prices.

In fact, the Shen family may not be much better, but their relationship with Tang Zun is not bad, so they will donate some food to face.

After all, it is a big family. If everything is innocent, it is impossible.

The county magistrate was silent, this is indeed a method, but it is not so easy to implement.

"This officer will consider this matter." Finally, he said.

Li Yi left and ran all the way out of the city. The food was there, but he had to find someone to transport it out.

Otherwise, if it is placed in the city, it will never be able to provide relief to the victims.

He did not ride in a carriage, but galloped all the way.

Nowadays, the price of grain in the city has skyrocketed, and horse meat is much cheaper.

Raising horses also requires food, and some horse-rental shops cannot afford such a high consumption.

We can only kill some old horses to reduce the pressure, so the price of horse meat has dropped a lot.

As for other meat prices, they have not come down, and they have even been rising day by day.

No matter how much the price rises, there will always be someone who can afford it.

Li Yi rode a steed all the way out of the city, not to mention the acquired martial artist.

Even an internal martial artist can run at full speed faster than many horses.

It's just that you don't need to consume your own strength when you ride a horse.

It can make the state of the martial artist get a more complete preservation.

Li Yi galloped all the way, but it took more than ten days.

There are obviously many more hungry people on the road than I have seen before.

And as the situation worsens, it will only increase.

However, the situation of the road surprised him a little. When he went to Taiping Temple before, he could find that many hungry people were gathering there.

After all, Taipingguan stood up for disaster relief. Even after his suggestion, the porridge he gave tasted extremely bad, but he could drink it without starving to death.

This alone is enough to send many hungry people there.

Staying at home will only starve to death, how much can you survive in Taipingguan.

But on the road at the moment, more hungry people choose to go to another place.

Some even seem to have come out of Taiping View, dragging their thin and hunched bodies to the distance.

Li Yi couldn't help but wonder if there were other people outside the city who were helping the disaster.

Otherwise, why would these victims go there!

As soon as he rode his horse over, he saw the Shen family's porridge shed from a distance.

Countless hungry people are lining up to receive thick wheat porridge one after another.

The wheat porridge distributed by the Shen family was thick enough, and there was no doubt that there were a lot of mischievous people in the team.

This is unavoidable.

Li Yi was a little surprised by this. Originally, he thought that the Shen family was as bad as the other four families.

Now it is unexpected that the Shen family is relatively better than the other four major families.

At least in the event of a natural disaster, it would be nice to be able to take out food to help the victims.

However, when the Shen family did such a thing, there was no doubt that they once again touched the cake of the four major families.

After all, they stood up to help the victims. The victims could survive with a bite of food they could eat, and most of them would not sell their land.

If you lose this opportunity, and want to buy good paddy fields at ultra-low prices, you don't know how many years you will have to wait.

Li Yi didn't stay here much. The Shen family had a great business, and naturally there was no shortage of food.

But he can't say how long this level of porridge can last.

He still had to hurry up and transport the food to the Taiping Temple.

At that time, even if the Shen family stopped serving porridge, these hungry people would still be able to survive more or less if they went to Taiping Temple.

Running all the way, when I came to Taiping Temple, I could obviously find that there were many fewer hungry people around.

There are many more, who are silently rushing towards the Shen family porridge shed in the distance.

This is also a good thing, no matter how many days the Shen family cooks porridge.

Taipingguan will cost a lot less food, and the food of the homesteaders can be stored for a longer period of time.

Therefore, many people will starve to death less, which can be called infinite merit.

Li Yi got off his horse and looked up at the mountain from a distance.

There was a group of people halfway up the mountain, which was obviously different from the hungry Taoist priests around. They were brightly dressed and full of complexion.

As you can see, he is no ordinary person.

And one of them he knew.
