    ¡°In years of disaster, it¡¯s easy to borrow anything, including other people¡¯s wives and daughters, but when it comes to food, even Wen Yansheng, the prefect of Ningbo, found it difficult to borrow food from the gentry.

    Although people are willing to give more than a dozen dan, of course they won¡¯t have any more.

    But Wen Yansheng couldn't do anything about them.

    ¡°After all, these gentry have been entrenched in the local area for hundreds of years, and they are all related to each other. They are a whole. No matter who they attack, they will arouse the same hatred and hatred of the gentry in Ningbo Prefecture.

    ???????????????? Ningbo is a place that is famous for its imperial examinations. To a greater or lesser extent, people here will produce candidates and Jinshi.

    Some of them have already become scholars, and some are still serving as officials in the court.

    Wen Yansheng wouldn¡¯t dare to be violent with them even if he had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.

    So, he began to wipe his tears. He couldn't live anymore. The people were dying in front of them. Please do a good job and give them some food.

    There will be food, but not much. When the disaster comes, the gentry needs food the most. Only with food can the small families sell their land at a low price. The price of food has soared countless times in an instant. At this time,  , took out a pound of food, my heart was bleeding.

    Although there are some who are kind-hearted, they will always try to use their own food and are really willing to give charity to some disaster victims, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

    Wen Yansheng returned to the office, took a sip of cold tea, and then began to curse in a hissing voice. These days, he has suffered too many grievances. In the past, he also talked about the magistrate who broke the family and the magistrate who destroyed the family. His uncle, Jiangnan, this place, this place  Officials are not human beings. Every family has a scholar, a scholar, or a scholar, or they are related to a scholar, a scholar, or a scholar. There are classmates, classmates, teachers, and students everywhere. A single move can affect the entire family and ruin the family.  , Damn it, seeing that his family has some food, Wen Yansheng really wants to break it, but he doesn't have the courage.  Those things that he, the magistrate, can really destroy, are of no use. People are going to starve to death, so what are you trying to destroy and rob his family?

    Wen Yansheng is from the north. She was too young when she got a job from Ningbo Prefecture, and she was very happy. But when she got there, she found that the relationship here was really intricate.

    After cursing for a moment, he took another sip of cold tea to moisten his mouth, and then began to scold the Zhenguo Prefecture for preparing Japanese guards. These people are really good at eating. The common people are in dire straits, and they have no way to eat.

    But at this moment, a servant came in a hurry: "Master Wen, Master Wen."

    "What?" Wen Yansheng glanced at the guard.

    "Selling fish, there are people selling fish at the port, so many fish, so many fish."

    "What fish?"

    "It's like yellow croaker. All in all, it's a big treasure ship. It's said to be a penny per catty, so you can sell it for as much as you can."

    "What?" Wen Yansheng thought these people were crazy.

    A pound of fish for one penny?

    You know, in normal times, even a pound of rice is not worth a penny. Even the worst yellow rice costs nearly two pennies.

    ¡°This¡­sold for just one penny?

    This is no joke.

    When a drought comes, the most terrible thing is not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters. When there is less food and more people, a large number of people are bound to hoard food, so the price of food rises sharply. For example, now, the price of food has increased twenty times. Just this You are rich  It may not be possible to buy food yet.

    ¡°This is a penny a pound of fish, you¡¯re kidding me.

    "Let's go." Wen Yansheng cheered up: "Go and have a look."

    The news has spread widely. Outside Ningbo Port, baskets of fish are unloaded directly. Almost as soon as they arrive, they are directly weighed and never slaughtered. After weighing one or two fish, three kilograms, well, three pennies are taken away.

    What they want is to ship the goods quickly, and buyers, even if the kilogram is overstated, will never compete blindly. There are too many queues behind them. Not only ordinary people, but also many businessmen are here.

    Fish costs one penny per pound, not to mention rare sea fish, even ordinary fish cost more than ten pence. Now is the season of disaster, and the price has already skyrocketed.

    Everyone is crowded here crazily, the crowds are surging, the merchants are here to buy goods, and they want as much as they can.

    They all cost tens of thousands of kilograms directly.

    "If you resell this thing, it will be money. Now Ningbo Mansion is short of nothing but food."

    For their needs Tang Yin certainly met all of them.

    In fact, he no longer cares about how to sell it, because no matter how he sells it, at this price, it can be sold out in half a day.

    This fish cannot be distributed to the victims in vain.

    The problem caused by severe drought isOf course, in this type of survival of the fittest, those with the greatest courage, strongest physiques, and fewer genetic diseases will naturally survive.

    Wen Yansheng didn't say anything. After a long time, he sighed and said: "However, Editor Tang, you have to be careful. To be honest, once you sell this fish, I don't know how many people who are hoarding it will hate you in their hearts.  Originally, this catastrophe meant that for some people they would die without a burial, but for some people, it was a good time to make a fortune. Those who had a lot of food in their hands were not simple people.  Ah, then"

    Tang Yin smiled contemptuously.

    To be honest, he is not afraid of anything, except this.

    Tang Yin said word by word: "It seems that Magistrate Wen has forgotten that my name is Tang Yin, my mentor's surname is Fang, and his double name is to succeed the vassal family. Maybe his reputation is not big enough in Ningbo Mansion. But don't worry about these details, here  Some people are ignorant and ignorant, but those who are very capable according to the prefect Wen, if they want to cause trouble, they will have to repair books for their relatives and friends in Beijing. By then, they will be sensible." (Remember the website address of this website.  £ºwww.hlnovel.com
