Qingyuan Town was originally not a disaster-stricken area, but the price of rice is such a way to increase the price of rice, and what is the difference between those who cannot afford rice and those who have fled? All have to be hungry.
Meng Nan let out a cry, frowned and asked, "How many meters can I buy for a couple of silver?"
Bai Zhi said: "Some people say that you can buy four-stone white rice or five-stone brown rice for a couple of silver during a bumper harvest. After the harvest season, the price will rise. The rice I bought before the refugees entered the city was one or two silver and three stones. But now, a tael of silver can only buy a bucket of rice, and there is no way to count how many times the price is."
Meng Nan has no idea about the price of rice and the unit of measurement. How much is a stone? How much is a fight? He didn't have a count at all, but he understood what Bai Zhi said. It was obvious that this stone was much more than a fight.
The guardian Jin looked embarrassed: "Ms. Bai, let's not tell you the truth, we have encountered many people complaining to us these past few days, saying that the price of rice shops is so high that they can't afford it at all. The state of rice in the pot."
"We have also reacted to Master Gu on this matter, but Master Gu agreed to us, but never did it. After I came, I sent someone to find out before I knew that these rice shops in the city were opened by Master Gu’s relatives. Shop, they relied on some relatives with Master Gu, and the price rise was simply unscrupulous. The people complained, and we have nothing to do."
Bai Zhi snorted: "This fox, pretender, and arrogant things are really rampant everywhere. After all, if there is no intentional indulgence from Mr. Gu, even if he is a relative of Mr. Gu, I am afraid I would not dare to be so arrogant."
Meng Nan didn't say anything, there were some things that everyone knew in their hearts, but they didn't concern themselves, so they just hung up on it.
Bai Zhi asked again: "The victims are all coming to Qingyuan Town. I don't believe Master Gu will not report to the court. Normally, shouldn't the court allocate food for disaster relief?"
Meng Nan nodded: "Yes, the court did allocate the grain funds, but the grain funds were looted by mountain bandits before entering the city, and there was not a single grain of rice left."
Bai Zhi sneered: "There is no such a coincidence in the world. It is a thousand miles away from Kyoto, and there is no problem along the way. Why? I met the mountain bandits when I arrived outside Qingyuan Town? The mountain bandits in other places were all dead. Absolutely?"
Meng Nan was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by this? Can you make it clear?"
Bai Zhi said: "I think I have said very clearly. Although mountain bandits are hateful, they have always robbed caravans and ordinary people. Have you ever heard of mountain bandits who rob official convoys? Did your Master Gu send someone? Suppress the bandits? Have you caught one or two bandits?"
The guard Jin on the side suddenly slapped his thigh, and said in surprise: "Ms. White's words woke me up. After the bandit robbed the motorcade, the son sent me out of the city to have a look. At the scene of the incident, except for the staggered axle prints, There was no trace of fighting at all, not even a trace of blood. I was very suspicious at the time, but there was no evidence, and no one could ask. I had to come back first. On the way back, I passed by a post and lived in the post. A lot of people, those people look like Wufu, they wear knives around their waists, and they wear ordinary clothes. They can’t tell what they are doing. But when I looked up, I saw a man hanging up the clothes of a Beijing military service. Outside the window, I didn't really care about it."
