Outside Shangjing City.
According to Lu Yun's request, today's disaster relief food, the cooked porridge was mixed with some small sand and small stones, and many people frowned after eating it.
Although they looked dirty and their clothes were in tatters, they protested against this mistake!
Even the steamed buns that I ate were shriveled, dry, and dirty, as if they were contaminated with a lot of soil.
"What do you mean? Why are there so many small stones, sand and soil in the cooked porridge!"
"Yes, although we are refugees, we are also human beings. Why can't we be nicer to us? Why should we be given such porridge and steamed buns!"
"Look for yourselves. This steamed bun is dried like this and is covered with dirt. How can you eat it? Is it for people? Even for dogs, they won't eat it."
"That's right! Is this how the imperial court treats us? Is it how it treats us common people? What have we done wrong? Our home is gone, and so are our families."
"It was the Huns who invaded, and the court failed to protect them. Why should we do this?"
"..."
The crowd was excited for a while, and many people were very angry, but most of them chose to remain silent.
They silently ate the shriveled buns and dirty porridge in their hands.
They are all so hungry. As long as they can eat, it will be good if they can fill their stomachs. If they are picky, they will not think so much.
Faced with this situation, the soldiers responsible for distributing relief food took a look.
One of them said coldly, "Eat it if you like it, but get lost if you don't like it. Most people can eat it, so why can't you eat it?"
"This relief food is to fill your stomach, not to make you eat well!"
"If you are not happy, you can leave now, or you can choose not to eat!
Others are still waiting in line, and there are so many people waiting behind them, and they are all hungry. "
“All disaster relief food from now on will look like this!”
"There won't be any changes. If you want to eat well, you might as well eat in a restaurant, where you can have big fish and meat."
Listening to the soldier's words, many people frowned and looked at the toothy porridge.
There was nothing they could do about this dirty steamed bun, which they couldn't even bite into. They couldn't stand it at all.
Many people chose to leave directly. However, when some people threw down their food and steamed buns and were about to leave, soldiers appeared and ordered them to be arrested.
"It's not that easy to leave."
"Your Majesty said it! Some people pretended to be hungry people, fished in troubled waters, and came to this relief food by force, hoping to take advantage of it. Is this a place where you can take advantage of it?"
"Do you know what the disaster relief food is? It's for people to have full stomachs and to survive, not for your petty gain."
"If we find this situation again in the future, we will send him to the sky prison and see if he still dares to do it."
"Come here, arrest all the people who just left here and left their food behind, and let them reflect on themselves."
"It's not easy to take advantage of the imperial court. You should reflect on it in prison. If it doesn't work, ask your family members to come and redeem you."
"..."
Listening to the soldiers' words, many hungry people raised their hands in agreement.
Because they know very well that some people are indeed fishing in troubled waters and forcibly occupying the food they deserve.
Originally they could eat enough, but after these people grabbed their share, they could only eat 70% full and 50% full, and some people even couldn't get in line.
How is this possible!
At the same time, Lu Yun was also searching for clues in the city with great fanfare.
Since there were many victims and many civilians snatching food last night, it would be better to find them and see whose homes have food.
Or if there are any special signs, they can definitely be found. It is impossible that there are no clues at all.
However, the results were disappointing. There were no clues at all, and no one provided any strong evidence that any common people secretly went to grab food in the middle of the night.
In such a large city, it is indeed relatively easy to hide.
But... there shouldn't be no clues at all.
Lu Yun was really speechless, but he probably guessed something, maybe this was a self-inflicted theft!
Xichang Yamen.
Lu Yun was sitting on the Taishi chair, looking relaxed and content, with his legs crossed. Ye Jiajia trotted over at this moment and asked curiously,
"Have you found out? Why do you look so relaxed? Shouldn't you be anxious? After all, we don't have any clues."
"Our duty is to give them justice as soon as possible and find out the person behind this."
Lu Yun shook his head and said calmly, "They deserve to be robbed. The price of two rooms is set so high that the people can't afford to eat. Just rob them. I don't want to find food for them."
"Besides, they might have snatched the food themselves and found a group of people to direct and act on their own. This is most likely."
Ye Jiajia was a little confused and couldn't react.
"Why do you do this? What are the benefits of doing this?"
"If you think about it carefully, who will benefit most if the food is robbed?"
"Of course... for the stores that have not been robbed, the price of food that is most beneficial to them will rise."
“The news about the food being robbed last night spread like wildfire, and everyone in the city knew about it, so there will be no surprise about the price.
I asked just now that the prices of those stores that were not robbed of food suddenly doubled! "
"Food prices were already very high, and now they are getting higher and higher!"
"But many people are very scared, especially the rich and wealthy. They think that if this continues, they may really starve to death, so they might as well buy the food quickly, because the price of food may become more and more expensive. "
Lu Yun nodded gently: "That's the truth. When the price of food is high, the money they earn from selling food will be higher. They are vested interests."
"I don't think they were lucky enough to escape the robbery by this group of people. On the contrary, it's strange."
"this……"
"Let's put it this way, they must have hoarded a lot at that time, but they didn't take out most of it because they knew very well that once the food was taken out, the price of food would drop."
"Once they were robbed, the price of food rose again."
When Lu Yun thought of this, he felt like he had seen it before. There were too many opportunities for him to encounter this kind of thing before he traveled through time.
He has seen many people using this method. This is called finding a rare item! market economy.
"Then, what to do?"
"What should I do? Watch them act silently."
