After Liu Jue’s order came down, the price of food did not drop.
Led by the Yang family and the He family, under the pressure of Jiangxia's powerful forces, the price of food increased several times.
There are actually not many disaster victims in Jiangxia now, only more than 10,000 people, and Liu Jue has made arrangements so that he can receive some food every month.
And Jiang Wan is already instructing people to do the post-disaster reconstruction work.
For the remaining people, many of the crops they had worked hard to plant for half a year were washed away because of the flood, and the harvest is likely to be only 30 to 40% of previous years.
At the same time, the family has also lost a lot of food. A rough calculation shows that it will be difficult to survive until the food harvest next year.
At this time, when these people saw the skyrocketing food prices, they suddenly panicked.
Those who did not have much food at home, under the instigation of the powerful, began to sell their fields in exchange for food that could last until next year.
As for what important land will be taken next year, the only choice is to become a tenant for others.
This kind of thing seems silly, but it’s all too common in this day and age.
The common people did not know a single word, so they were ignorant. Under such natural disasters, they thought it was a good choice to work as tenants for the powerful.
Liu Jue has sent people to release grain to calm the price of grain on the market, but the effect is minimal.
After all, everyone has a herd mentality.
Seeing this situation, Liu Jue was really angry.
"The tyrants forced the people to buy and sell land."Liu Jue looked at the news reported below, and his face became very ugly.
Because there have been many incidents of forced buying and selling near Xiling County, and people even died because of it.
Now the powerful have tasted the sweetness. , even if some people were unwilling to sell, they began to threaten and force these people.
As for Liu Jue’s previous warning, the powerful people had long turned a deaf ear.
At this time, Jiang Wan walked in, handed over a bamboo slip, and said:"Young Master General, this is the list of powerful people who are driving up food prices this time."
Liu Jue opened it and took a look at it, then threw it on the table and said with a cold smile:"Gong Yan, pass on my order. Clean all the powerful people on this list and search all their property. Jiang
Wan was shocked and said:"Major General, if we clean them all, I'm afraid there will be a big mess!""
"chaos? Liu
Jue sneered and said,"I dare to kill even Cao Cao's generals. Who are they? If they turn a deaf ear to my warning, they should pay the due price.""
Liu Jue also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with these powerful people.
"Here! I'll give the order right away."Wan saw Liu Jue's resolute attitude and immediately said more. Moreover, he also felt that these powerful actions were too abominable.
"Wait a moment! I will personally inspect Sha Xian's Yang family. I want to see if they have three heads and six arms!"Liu Jue stood up and walked straight outside. As soon as
Liu Jue issued the order, his troops began to move.
Liu Jue also took Xue Rengui and Yang Jiye, and led a thousand elites towards Sha Xian..
This battle feels a bit like a cannon hitting mosquitoes.
Sha Xian, in the Yang family village.
Yang Xun is lying on the couch, enjoying the massage from his concubine, and mentally calculating how much fertile land he has harvested in the past few days.
Thinking about it Yang Xun was very pleased with those fertile lands, and kept moving his big hands up and down his concubine.
"Master, no...it's not good!"At this time, a servant ran in crawling on the ground.
"What are you calling? Is your father dead or something?" Yang Xun was disturbed. He sat up and kicked the servant.
The servant was kicked, but he did not dare to get angry. He quickly reported:"Master, there are many officers and soldiers coming from outside. They are facing Coming to our Zhuangzi side"
"What? Yang
Xun was shocked for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and said,"Why are you panicking!" The officers and soldiers coming towards us may not necessarily be coming towards us!
The servant swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice:"Master, you forgot the notice three days ago.""
"No way! Is that Liu Jue really so cruel? Yang
Xun took a breath of air, thought for a moment, and said to his servant:"Quickly close the gate of Zhuangzi, block it with a wooden head, and then summon all the guards of Zhuangzi.""
In this era of war and chaos, powerful people all kept some guards and relied on them to protect their own safety.
Yang Xun also kept five hundred guards. Some of them were deserters, some were ruffians, and most of them were young men selected from the tenants..Although he is just a guard, the steel knife in his hand is a real thing.
"Master, who is causing trouble?"The speaker was a tall man with a muscular face and a mace in his hand.
"Zhang Da, I usually provide you with delicious food and drink, but now it’s time for you to repay the favor. Yang
Xun pulled Zhang Da and said in a panic:"A group of people are coming outside. I don't care what method you use, you must stop them.""
"Don't worry, sir, just leave it to me. Zhang Da laughed and then asked:"Master, who is the other party?" Yang
Xun hesitated for a moment and said,"It's the officers and soldiers. I'm afraid it's because of the food prices in the past two days that they've come to trouble me now." Zhang
Da wrinkled, and then said disdainfully:"What about the officers and soldiers? With Chen Er and I here, I don't need to worry.""
At this time, another big man came over, and he saw a long scar on his face and a big ax in his hand. He looked fierce.
This man was Chen Er. I heard him say:"Master , you can go back and rest, our brothers will go out later, cut off the officer's head and offer it to you, the other party will naturally lose without a fight."
Zhang Da and Chen Er were originally soldiers under Huang Zu, but later they became deserters and went to work as guards under Yang Xun. They lived a quite comfortable life.
Yang Xun heard what the two said and knew They had some skills and immediately felt at ease.
"In this case, I leave it to you. If you win this victory, I will reward each of you with a beautiful woman."Yang Xun immediately promised a heavy reward
"Then thank you sir."Zhang Da and Chen Er said with a smile._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Fei Lu Xiao
