Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 104 Shengzhou state shepherd is dying, Bai Yu's experiment

Mince County,

This is Shengzhou County,

It can be regarded as the economic and cultural center of Shengzhou.

Compared with the poverty, despair and dry disaster scene in other places.

It can be stronger here,

But it's just a little bit stronger, not much better.

People's livelihood is poor, and hungry skinny and tranced people are often seen in the city, and begging for cleverness is everywhere.

Bai Yu and Li Wanying entered the city, planning to go to the State Shepherd's Mansion to reunite with Li Hongsi and the others.

However, he didn't go very far, when he passed by a rather magnificently decorated storefront, he stopped for a while.

Liu Jiliang Store,

There are several gold-plated characters hanging on the door of the shop.

It's noon now,

it's meal time,

Before he knew it, several beggars had already gathered beside the entrance of the grain store.

His eyes were burning, as if he was waiting for something.

Not long after,

But I saw a sturdy handyman walking out carrying two buckets full of swill.

The stench that passes by is disgusting.

Both Bai Yu and Li Wanying covered their mouths and noses, and frowned slightly.

However, the beggars had bright eyes and followed the burly handyman closely.

Until he reached a street corner and tapped the swill bucket lightly.

Countless beggars immediately swarmed up, looting the messy 28 filth and spoiled food inside, and smeared the rotten batter all over their faces. Occasionally, they got a dead mouse and shouted excitedly, and swallowed it whole...

With this feeling and this scene, Li Wanying's face was ashen-colored just looking at it, and she almost felt sick.

"Go in and have a look?"

Bai Yu squinted his eyes, looked at the grain store in front of him, and asked Li Wanying beside him.

"good."

The two entered the door together,

"Hey, two guest officers, are you here to buy food?"

The shopkeeper is a fat middle-aged man, and there are several strong men guarding the door of the grain store.

Looking at Bai Yu's extraordinary clothes,

He also showed a smile and asked the two of them.

"Well! Yes, shopkeeper, how much is the food price?"

Bai Yu looked around, nodded slightly, and asked the other party.

"Rice stone 24 taels of silver, brown rice stone 20 taels of silver, mustard wheat stone 20 taels of silver..."

The shopkeeper took out the ledger, looked at Bai Yu with a smile and said.

"What?"

Li Wanying froze, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"The rice and stone in the capital are only 2 taels of silver, how can you get... so expensive here?"

She just saw that the food was piled up and ruined, and it was thrown into the slop bucket for those beggars to loot...

We know that there may be something strange about the price of food.

But I don't want to, the price increase is so exaggerated!

This is a catastrophic place! Where is the imperial court's food?

It's fine to sell food at a low price, but the black heart has doubled by more than 10 times!

Really unscrupulous merchants, dare to act recklessly!

The shopkeeper shook his head lightly, and explained: "Guest officer, the year is not good, and the food is scarce. This food is also bought at a high price with all my efforts. How can I sell it cheap?"

Li Wanying asked again: "The imperial court has donated money and food three times, and there are a total of one million shi. What about the food?"

The shopkeeper gave Li Wanying a weird look: "I don't know."

"Guest officer, if you buy more, I can give you a little discount."

"If you don't buy it, please don't stay here and delay doing business."

The two strong men at the door also looked at them unkindly.

They stay here, and they have their own meaning of existence.

Bai Yu pulled Li Wanying's arm, and smiled at the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper's is too expensive, so we won't buy it.

After all, he took Li Wanying and left.

walked to the door,

But the shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, don't say that my place is expensive, you have traveled all over the county, the whole Shengzhou, and the price is the same...

Bai Yu paused, waved his hands lightly, and did not speak.

The two left the grain store and walked back to the county road,

The atmosphere is somewhat silent,

after awhile,

Bai Yu said: "Shengzhou State Shepherd deserves to die."

Normally speaking, even if it is a fleeting disaster, it is impossible for a state and county to be reduced to this point.

The status quo is obvious, the corruption of the officials here is layer upon layer, and they have made a fortune from the disaster relief funds.

The land was not harvested, supplies were scarce, and profiteers hoarded food, causing the price of food to skyrocket, and the people could not afford food due to famine.

It is even possible that the officials and these merchants have already colluded.

As long as Liu Hongsi doesn't get connected,

After returning to Kyoto after a business trip this time, more than half of the officials in Shengzhou will die.

Li Wanying nodded slightly.

She was silent for a while, then asked Bai Yu: "Bai Yu, why are you an official?"

She is not a corrupt official, nor is she an upright and upright official.

To be honest, she didn't know why she was an official.

The reason why she has come to this level, she doesn't know why!

Perhaps..... just for the expectations of the parents and family.

After hearing Bai Yu's four shocking and ambitious words,

She is also a little passionate, wanting to do something for the dawn of the world.

However, the status quo is often as it is.

Feeling powerless.

"Why?"

"Why are there so many?"

"Just thinking about it!"

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows, pointed at the poor civilians around him, and said, "In order to follow one's inclinations, to do what one wants to do, and not to be like them, unable to control one's own destiny! Is that okay?"

Bai Yu pointed to her head, smiled and said to her, "Knowledge and action are one, that's all."

"The unity of knowledge and action?"

Li Wanying was stunned for a moment,

Slightly drooping eyes, chewing the simplest four words softly.

And Bai Yu squinted his eyes, as if thinking of something interesting,

He knelt down and said to a beggar, "Do you want food?"

"Um?!"

The sleepy beggar shuddered suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at the young man with extraordinary temperament in front of him.

Just kept nodding.

"Over there!"

Bai Yu pointed to the grain store he had just walked out of, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go get it?"

The man was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at the magnificently decorated grain store, and couldn't help shaking his head: "There are people guarding it, but the government won't let it go.

He smiled and said, "Didn't you get any news? Recently, the government has received distinguished guests, and there is no time to take care of this place at all!"

"I heard that hundreds of people are plotting to grab rice. After a while, everyone is going to grab rice. If you go late, you won't be able to grab it!"

The man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking: "Really?"

Bai Yu nodded lightly: "Really, if you don't believe me, you can watch for a while, someone will go soon."

"Okay, then I'll watch!"

The man raised his spirits, his eyes brightened.

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Go and tell the people you know first, let them come together, otherwise, you will be alone and weak, and you won't be able to grab others.

"Okay! Brother, thank you!"

The man gave Bai Yu a deep look, then ran towards the corner of the street.

Bai Yu glanced at his leaving back,

and walked to the other side,

"Brother, do you want food?"

He asked another famine man.

"Think! Think!"

Bai Yu smiled, pointed in the direction of the grain store, and said the same thing again.

The same thing happened over and over again.

"Bai Yu, what are you going to do?"

Li Wanying followed behind him and asked a little strangely.

Bai Yu smiled at her and said, "Do a simple experiment."

"experiment?"

between one afternoon,

Rumors continue to spread among the hungry people,

People gathered in groups not far from the grain store, talking in low voices and watching secretly.

Seeing more and more people coming, I couldn't help confirming the secret signal, and I believed the secret even more.

"Why are there so many people?"

The shopkeeper in the room seemed to realize that something was wrong,

Seeing the groups of beggars and poor people whispering outside, he couldn't help frowning.

"You, you, you go and drive away those poor ghosts outside! You can't afford food, what are you hanging around here?!"

He curled his lips and ordered the two big men at the door,

Said with some disdain.

The two big men nodded and walked towards the door.

"You guys, rush over now and shout, 'Grab the grain, grab the grain!', as long as anyone rushes in, I will give you 1 tael of silver. The longer you persist, the more money I will give you.

"how?"

Bai Yu looked at the five younger hungry people in front of him, and said with a smile.

"really?"

Several people stared wide-eyed, as if they didn't quite believe the pie in the sky.

"nature."

"I never lie!"

As soon as Bai Yu stretched out his hand, several taels of silver were impressively placed in the palm of his hand.

Several people suddenly breathed heavily,

Subconsciously want to reach out to grab,

However, Bai Yu took it back instantly.

Several people looked at Bai Yu with scorching eyes, and their greed could not be concealed.

If it weren't for Bai Yu's extraordinary bearing and tall stature, they would have made a move.

Bai Yu didn't mind their transgression, and just smiled and said, "I'll wait for you here after it's done!"

"Good!" x5

Rushed into the grain store, at most he was beaten and thrown out.

It is enough to exchange these huge sums of money!

"Go quickly, those gatekeepers have come out now, it's the best time!"
