Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"Huh? Why hasn't the city gate been opened today? Master, when will the city gate be blocked?"

From the day before, the forces of the bright and dark sides of the Tianwang family came out, frantically looking for Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan in the city, to yesterday's 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Bingzhou camp, scattered in every corner of Taiyuan City, going from house to house Searching for the batch of weapons smuggled out by Chuji Ironware Shop, Taiyuan City has been blocked for two days!

From the initial panic, the people finally accepted the reality and their mood gradually calmed down, but seeing that today is the third day, the city is still full of soldiers from the Bingzhou camp, and the Sifang city gates are still blocked. Not calm, they got up very early, and came to the city gate and asked the city gate guard.

"Following the orders of Fang Fang's army and the governor of the king, the city gates were blocked, and all Turkic spies lurking in Taiyuan City were arrested. In recent days, no one can enter or leave Taiyuan City until all the Turkic spies in the city are caught!"

Now the city defense of Taiyuan City has long been taken over by the government soldiers of the Bingzhou camp. These government soldiers obviously know more about what happened in the city in the past few days than ordinary people, and they responded coldly.

"What? The Turkic spies in Taiyuan City? When will the government capture all the Turkic spies?"

"...No comment!"

"This……"

The people who had no choice but to go home disappointed from the city gate guard. In fact, no one knew the question of "when will all the Turkic spies be caught?" and the city gate guard would naturally not be able to answer it. Moreover, regarding Li Tai being kidnapped by Turkic spies, the governor's office has not yet announced it to the public, so the soldiers of the Bingzhou camp have not talked much.

The rising sun is rising, and a red sun shows half of its face from the east. At this time, most of the people are already up. Today, the news that the city gate is still closed has also begun to spread among the various villages. Under the impetus of the yamen of the prefectural government, the houses of the private squares are starting to inform from house to house that the gates of the city have been closed in the past few days, and martial law will continue in the city.

Since no one could give a specific "city gate closure period", some people began to worry that their own food and vegetables were not enough, so they hurried to the grain stores and markets in the city to buy rice, noodles and vegetables, but as soon as they arrived at the grain stores, they immediately Just dumbfounded!

"What? There's no more rice? Your Yongliang Rice Store is the largest rice store in Taiyuan City. How can you run out of rice?"

In front of the Yongliang rice shop, a commoner heard the boy in the shop saying that he was running out of rice, and he couldn't help being surprised, and there was even a trembling in his voice.

"I'm sorry, you're late! In fact, many people came to buy rice yesterday. In addition, the gate of Taiyuan City is still blocked today. We can't get the goods from the outside. That bit of rice, it will be sold out soon! Do you want to try your luck at other grain stores?"

The grain store Xiaoer bowed his hands apologetically and suggested.

"Okay! I'll go to Ye's grain store to see!"

Hearing this, the commoner immediately felt a sense of urgency, and he didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he hurriedly left and went to another house to "try his luck"!

It's just that his "trick of luck" is destined to be nothing, because today's major grain stores in the city are basically "out of rice"!

"What? You have no more rice here?"

"Guest officer, you are late. Two quarters ago, the rice in our shop was sold out!"

"Two quarters of an hour ago? It just turned on two quarters of an hour ago, and your store hasn't opened yet?"

"Yeah! At that time, our store was really not open yet, but this morning, a large group of people came knocking on the door saying that they wanted to buy rice, and if we bought a lot of rice, our shopkeeper had to open the door early! Alas, If it weren't for our shopkeeper to keep some rice, it is estimated that all the rice in the store would have been bought by those people!"

"Oh? So you have some rice left in your shop?"

"Guest officer, don't think about it. The shopkeeper said that the remaining rice will not be sold no matter how much money anyone pays. Who knows when the city gate will be reopened? You should go to another place to see it!"

Similar conversations happened in the major grain stores in Taiyuan City, as if they had "appointed" in advance. The grain stores that have never been short of grain on weekdays are all out of rice today! Money can't buy it!

The people who didn't buy the grain panicked instantly and began to look for rice in various grain stores in the city. At the same time, the news that the grain stores in Taiyuan City were running out of grain also began to spread in various villages!

As the saying goes, "If you have food at home, don't panic". Now that the gates of Taiyuan City are closed, "eating" has become a big problem for the common people. Those who have a lot of food at home are fine, but Most of the people's homes have only ten days' worth of food, or even less. Now that they heard that the major grain stores in the city have run out of food, how can they not panic?

So, countless people left their homes and ran towards the major grain stores in the city, wanting to try their luck!

"...Reporting to the governor of the city, the stocks of the major grain stores in the city are suddenly in a hurry, and the people in the city began to rush to buy grain first.

In the Prefect's Mansion, in the back hall, Feng Zhaotou hurried in and clasped his fists to Wang Liaoyuan.

"What did you say? The grain store in the city is in a hurry? How is this possible?"

Wang Liaoyuan, who had just returned from the inn, immediately stood up when he heard the words, and his expression changed slightly: "Taiyuan City has only been blocked for two days, and there are dozens of grain stores in the city. Each store has less than a thousand grains, so why is it suddenly gone?"

Feng Zhaotou clasped his fist

"I don't know this subordinate, but now all the major grain stores in the city are surrounded by people who want to buy grain, but the staff of the grain store can't bring out the grain. The people are worried that if the city gate continues to be blocked, they are likely to There is no food to eat, so many people are willing to pay more to buy food, but...even if you add more money, you can't buy food in the market! If this goes on, the people in the city will probably be in chaos!"

Wang Liaoyuan twisted it, and paced back and forth on the spot with his hands behind his back. After a long silence, he stood still and said to a middle-aged scribe behind him: "Don't let the people mess up, Mr. A notice tells the people who are rushing to buy grain in the market, so that they don't have to worry, Taiyuan City will not be short of grain, even if the grain store in the city is out of grain, the government will open the warehouse to release grain, and the government can send people to go there. Purchase food outside the city and bring it into the city!"
