Molested Zulong at the beginning

On the other hand, she blinked her big peach eyes and looked at Bai Su with great interest, wanting to see what Bai Su was going to do.
......
.......
After a long time, in the hall.
There were more than a dozen figures dressed in brocade robes sitting there, all of these people were prominent figures in the local area, and many of them were rich and powerful gentry.
Bai Su came over: "I'm sorry, I let everyone come here so late."
"Don't dare, dare not"
"It is an honor to meet you!"
"..."
Although these people were directly called over, their eyesight in dealing with people was not bad. They were all smiling, talking and laughing happily, and they didn't look angry at all.
Bai Su nodded secretly, although these people's status is not high, but it is easy for a few of them to become wealthy businessmen.
He smiled and said: "You don't need to be restrained, just sit down."
After speaking, he went directly to the main seat.
The people around took their seats one after another, and all of them straightened their backs, looking at Bai Su quietly.
Bai Su smiled and said, "I heard that all of you are buying grain at high prices?"
These people looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them, a skinny old man, said with a sneer: "My lord, why do you say that, our family is close to running out of food, and now we buy food just to have something to eat."
"Yeah yeah."
"..."
Bai Su smiled and said: "You don't need to be nervous, I don't mean to blame you, after all, you spent money to buy these, so how can I blame, just seeing that you are so short of food, I want to cooperate with you. "
When everyone heard this, their faces were full of doubts.
One of the bloated fat men asked cautiously: "If you dare to ask your lord, what do you mean..."
"I happen to have a batch of grain in my hand, and I want to sell it to you, but at the current high price of more than ten times, I'm afraid you will be under a lot of pressure even if you want to collect it, so it's better to exchange it for something, how about..."
Bai Su took a deep breath, and said with a straight face: "For example... five catties of bran can be exchanged for one catty of rations."
As soon as this remark came out, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at Bai Su dumbfounded.
You know, this bran is the food for livestock. It is unbelievable to use the food of livestock to replace the rations of human beings.
One of the skinny old men asked tentatively: "Dare to ask if what the young master said is true?"
Bai Su nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Now that the flood has spread widely, it's too late to treat it. Instead of wasting time here, it's better to sell all the leftover grain to you and exchange it for livestock grain. It is used to maintain the consumption of horse chews for the soldiers of the imperial court."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thought carefully, and found that what Bai Su said made sense.
After all, in the past, it took at least a month to transport the grain from Guanzhong, but now the local granary can't last that long at all. Instead of waiting for death slowly, it is wiser to leave in time.
In this way, wouldn't they make a lot of money.
The grain that this animal eats is not worth much at all, and grain is a hard currency, especially as the number of refugees increases, the price will soar even more.
No matter how you think about it, it is a profitable business.
Thinking of this, they signed up excitedly, "My lord, I have five thousand catties of bran here."
"I have eight thousand catties."
"I have [-] catties..."
"..."
However, the effort of a cup of tea, which was only enough food for three days, suddenly turned into bran for nearly half a month.
It was approaching dusk.
Everyone retreated one after another.
Bai Su threw the list written in his hand and said, "One share goes out, three shares come in, how about it?"
Xiao He looked at Bai Su with a look of surprise, and sighed: "Master, you are really good at tricks. This food has been turned into so much food out of thin air through such a twist in your hands. A food shortage crisis has been easily solved like this. .”
Wang Jian's slender and delicate brows frowned: "But this bran is eaten by animals, can humans eat it?"
Bai Su pondered for a moment and said, "This man is very hungry. He can eat tree bark and soil, so the bran is naturally not a problem. What's more, you can use a stone mill to grind the bran into powder, mix part of the corn and cook it, and the taste is delicious." Better."
"Although the taste is much worse than that of rice porridge, it is still a little hard to swallow, but it is no problem to use it to satisfy hunger. In other words, the worse the taste, the better it is for our disaster relief."
Wang Jian was taken aback for a moment: "What do you mean by your words?"
Bai Su looked at the dancing candles on the table, and murmured: "Because only unpalatable meals can be delivered to the truly hungry refugees in the shortest possible time."
"If we only send delicious rice porridge, there will be a lot of remnants of the six kingdoms, ordinary people in the city eating and drinking, and some idle street gangsters. They will pretend to be refugees and come to receive free rice porridge for disaster relief."
"In this way, no matter how much grain we put in the warehouse, the situation will not get better, and it will only get worse."
"As long as the food is deliberately made unpalatable, those fake refugees who are not very hungry will naturally not go forward to get it."
Wang Jian suddenly realized, she thought about it carefully, and found that this is really the truth, Bai Su has understood the hearts of the people.
Bai Su ordered: "Please trouble the general with one thing."
Wang Jian was taken aback for a moment: "What's the matter?"
Bai Su stroked his chin and said: "Tomorrow those fake refugees will definitely come to get the porridge as usual, the general can secretly send someone to block off the street, and wait until tomorrow to see who among them has finished the porridge and who can't drink it at all." go down."
"Those hungry refugees, even if the rice porridge tastes hard to swallow, they are reluctant to spill a little bit, and those fake refugees who are not short of food at all will definitely find it difficult to swallow this kind of rice porridge. Those who did not drink the porridge should be arrested as thieves."
"Guaranteed to catch one."
Wang Jian's eyes like autumn water suddenly lit up.
She twitched her lips and said, "Young master, don't worry, just leave this matter to me, and I will definitely wipe out these thieves."
Chapter 120 The fifth chapter draws all the world, just for you Ye Luo returns
"Mr. Ji Liang, what are you doing?"
In a separate courtyard, a group of survivors from the Six Kingdoms looked at Ji Liang suspiciously, and saw that she took off her white skirt and put on a ragged, shabby dress, and immediately messed up her hair.
Looking at it from a distance, I thought it was a refugee.
Ji Liang stood in front of the bronze mirror, looked at himself, and said with a smile: "I want to mix in among the refugees myself, and see how long Xiao He can last."
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with some doubts on their faces.
A smile appeared in Ji Liang's watery eyes: "In addition to the flood victims who came here, there are also a large number of people who are not disaster victims at all, pretending to be disaster victims and claiming rations."
"According to my calculations, Xiao He's food and grass should not last for a few days. Once the food is insufficient, no matter how calm she pretends to be on the surface, various problems will be exposed."
"For example, the rice porridge distributed here is getting thinner and thinner, and it is getting weaker and weaker in soothing people's hearts."
"As the saying goes, under the candlelight, it is difficult to distinguish the shadows. I pretended to be a refugee and mixed in. What happened to the government, the resentment in the hearts of the refugees, and the truth and falsehood can be seen at a glance."
"If the time is right, you can hold high the flag of righteousness, directly lead the refugees to gather a crowd to make trouble, attack the county government together, open warehouses to release food, and gather an army..."
Xiong Xin on the side looked worried and said: "It's fine to leave these things to others. Why do you need to go there yourself?"
Complexity flashed across Ji Liangxing's eyes, she bit her lip lightly, and said, "I have already lost once in Bolangsha and once again in Handan City when I fought against that woman in Xianyang, this time I can't lose again gone."
She thought of the picture of the "kind-hearted" Mr. Bai, who was captured by the brutal Emperor Shihuang because of his involvement, and was tortured continuously in the dungeon in Xianyang.
She felt a twinge of pain in her heart, as long as she had a chance to invade Xianyang and rescue the young master, it was nothing to take such a risk.
"Then please sir, as for this, leave it to me."
At this time, a beautiful young woman in a long red dress stood up.
It was Xiang Liang from Jiangdong.
She said sternly: "After the incident, sir, you can use the torch as a sign at night, and I will immediately gather people from all directions to respond."
Ji Liang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay...let's join hands together and sound the first horn to overthrow Da Xia."
......
......
At the same time, in the Xiao Mansion in Pei County.
"My lord, I have already found all the staff, and asked them to wear casual clothes and lie in ambush among the nearby crowd. What should I do next?"
Wang Jian walked in along the long corridor and saw Bai Suzheng, Liu Ji, and Xiao He gathered in front of a big pot, commenting from time to time.
"Now that the hands are ready, it's time to prepare Shimibu porridge. How about a taste?"
Bai Su scooped a bowl of cooked porridge from the pot and handed it to Liu Ji who was beside him.
"please do not."
Liu Ji's slender eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.
She clearly knew that more than half of the pot of porridge in front of her was bran, which is the food of livestock. What would she do if she was drinking it?
"Are you sure you don't want to drink?"
Bai Su glanced at her with a half-smile: "I heard that you accidentally released a group of prisoners when you were escorting the corvee. According to the laws of Great Xia, you are going to serve outside the Great Wall for three years."
"I... I can't drink it."
Liu Ji's face suddenly collapsed.
She pinched her nose, gritted her teeth and took a big gulp.
Bai Su asked, "How does it taste?"
Liu Ji frowned, and swallowed with difficulty: "It's all wheat husks, ground from wheat husks, not much rice fragrance, only a slightly bitter taste, if it's not for the hunger, I really don't want to drink this stuff. "
After listening to her evaluation, Bai Su tried a sip himself, and found that the taste was really bitter, and the taste was really hard to swallow.
He just nodded in satisfaction.
Just now he was a little worried that the smell was not strong enough to force the fake refugees out, whether to add a handful of sand to the rice porridge or not, now it seems that it is not necessary.
"Then next, get out these fat fish that are mixed in the stream and intend to snatch food from their mouths."
A gleam flashed in Bai Su's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as these people with different intentions are cleaned up, then the next disaster relief will naturally not have any twists and turns."
......
......
Standing in the dark, you can see much more clearly than in the bright.
After Ji Liang disguised himself as a refugee and mixed in, he found that many of the refugees who looked like ragged clothes and disheveled hair were physically strong.
Although the face was smeared with furnace ashes, it looked dirty, but looking closer, the arm in the sleeve was clean and white.
Obviously, they are all idlers in the village, pretending to eat and drink.
Moreover, there are still a lot of these people, so the food in Peixian County must not be enough.
While looking at the surrounding situation, Ji Liang silently calculated the daily consumption of food and supplies.
Time passed quickly, and the rice porridge in the shack had been cooked, and several people came out carrying a large pot to scoop up the rice porridge for the refugees on the street.
"this is yours……"
The little official handed over a bowl of porridge.
Ji Liang glanced at the porridge in the bowl curiously, wondering if it was an illusion, but felt that the color of the porridge today was a bit wrong.
A gust of cold wind passed by, and the biting cold made her unconsciously touch the rice bowl in her hands tightly. Looking at the steaming steaming rice porridge, Ji Liang didn't think too much, opened her mouth slightly, and took a sip.
After all, wearing God's shabby clothes and being out in the cold for so long, she also needs something to drink to warm her body.
but……
Soon, her complexion froze.
"Puff...cough cough!!!"
Ji Liang couldn't help but spit it out, a bitterness seemed to go straight to the sky, and coughed violently: "Why is this rice porridge so bitter? Could it be that the rice has rotten?"
