Chapter 984

Of course, the ordinary people can't feel the change of policy, and they are not interested in the governance of the new emperor.

Why? Because it's an official thing? What's none of their business? More importantly, they don't have enough to eat and live well. Why do they care about others?

In this way, when everyone becomes an emperor, they will punish these officials and clean them up. Then it's still an old topic. What's the matter with them?

More importantly, the common people in the capital have had a very difficult life after a long siege and blockade. Compared with the politics in the DPRK and China, they are more concerned about how they can live.

So three days after the Chinese army entered the capital, the authorities gradually began to relax martial law. Many people were forced to go to the streets, start doing their own things and start their own business.

Even though many people have broken down their families and died their families, they still come out to work because they understand that life still has to go on.

Yang Laoliu is such a person. Yang Laoliu was originally a family of five. He and his wife, two sons and a daughter, a family of five, are engaged in the business of some craftsmen in the capital. Although they live a hard life, they can barely get by.

However, with the changes of the world, the life of the poor can't survive. One of his sons was forcibly arrested by the government to be a civilian husband and never came back. He didn't know whether to live or die. The other son, seeing that he couldn't live at home, went to work in Shandong. It was the Chinese army. In short, he was an anti thief of the imperial court, When the enemy of the imperial court, the whole family dare not mention it.

But his son went out to work for several years and never heard back. He didn't know whether to live or die. According to the cognition of most people in the capital, most of them just couldn't come back.

Because most of the people in the capital have barely seen the world. The imperial court has so many troops, one by one, losing battles and fighting again and again. These officials have returned, but few of the people's children they brought out and those soldiers have returned.

In troubled times, people's lives are as cheap as grass mustard. Even when they are soldiers, a small number of people are unbearable.

Yang Laoliu usually makes a living by helping people with casual work. His wife and daughter Cuihua are responsible for receiving pulp flow and sewing workers from some large families to subsidize their families. Since the Chinese army besieged the city, there has been no source of income, and the days have become more difficult.

The reason why he came out immediately after the lifting of the ban by the Chinese army was that his family was really poor, because he heard that some shops on the street had opened, so he was ready to buy some food. He weighed the ten pieces of copper in his hand, which was the last and all his possessions.

Since the Chinese army besieged the city, the prices in the city began to soar to the point that the common people could not live. At this time, the common people went to buy rice and grain, not in bags, but in kilograms, because no one had money and bought them bag by bag.

Yang Laoliu was very worried and very sad. The food he could buy from these ten copper plates was very limited. He didn't know how many kilograms of food he could buy. After spending the money, he didn't even have the last few copper plates at home. I really don't know how to live.

He was thinking that the cheapest thing about this man is his mouth, and the cheapest thing is his stomach. If he didn't have this mouth and stomach, he didn't have to eat or drink, he wouldn't have to suffer so many sins.

The street is deserted. It is said that the government and Fang Zheng organized people to welcome the Chinese army into the city a few days ago. It is said that all the people who welcome the Chinese army into the city are brave people. Honest little people like them don't go even if they hear that there are two kilograms of rice. Even if they don't want to cause trouble, they don't dare to get it for fear of provoking things they shouldn't do.

Yang Laoliu walked into the street and found that there were few pedestrians on the street. There were patrolling officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army everywhere.

The biggest difference between the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is that they wear military uniforms. Their military uniforms are beautiful and tidy, and those who are soldiers hold their heads high.

He is not surprised at this. The Chinese army is sitting in the world. Since it is sitting in the world, it is the official master, and the official master naturally has an air.

When he came to the street, he found that most of the shops were closed, and the food sellers were closed. He hesitated where to buy food. If he didn't buy food back, his wife and daughter would starve to death.

Seeing that most stores were closed, he came to the position of Chang Ping Cang. The so-called Chang Ping Cang is the place used by the Ming Dynasty to stabilize grain prices, but it has long become a sham. The rice sold by the government in the disaster year is more expensive and cruel than that sold by businessmen. He came here just to take a chance subconsciously.

Who knows, when he came here, the warehouse door was opened, and there were some people like guys who were busy here. They should be ready to do business. He was so happy that he hurried to see it.

This is just a store that is often closed. It is opened in a facade nearby. It mainly sells some food. Yang Laoliu used to buy things here. Things are bad and the price is expensive, but there is no way. Nowadays, people are iron and rice is steel. You have to buy whatever is expensive. Who told you that you can't farm?

However, after Yang Laoliu entered the Chang Ping position, he found that it was different from the past. At ordinary times, there were relatively few grains here, and the commodities inside were relatively monotonous. Basically, it was rice grain. But now, there are all kinds of things, and what made Yang Laoliu even more strange was that the price marked above seemed to be very cheap, which was actually better than before the war, The government sold even cheaper, which surprised Yang Laoliu.

You know, when he was six years old, his family was well off. After reading for two years, he barely recognized some words. He saw that all grain was priced clearly. This is not uncommon. It is the case in many stores. They priced clearly. Do you like to buy or not.

But what's strange about him here is that the prices of grain, rice and salt are quite cheap.

Yang Laoliu was worried at the beginning that such cheap food was just black heart food or sour and deceptive.

But he went to see the grain. They are all good rice, good noodles and fine salt. They are also unpacked to let you see carefully. They are of good quality. Just the people who sell things are not very happy, cold faced and like to sell or not.

Yang Laoliu hesitated. If he bought more than ten kilograms of rice at his price, he could save a province, put more water and eat for several days. But there was no such cheap thing in the world. However, in the peaceful and prosperous age, even when new rice was on the market in the spring and autumn, it was not so cheap. How could he sell it so cheap?

So Yang Laoliu began to ask the salesmen. He smiled and said, "boss! Small, why is the food here so cheap? Is it true?"

The man said, "of course it's true. The amount of money written on it is the amount of money. It won't charge more or be short of weight."

When the other party said this, Yang Laoliu was relieved again. He was thinking, this is strange. How can there be such cheap food in the world? But the man also saw his doubts and said, "you old man, buy or not? Don't buy. Don't hinder our business. There are still a lot of people to buy?"

Yang Laoliu found that unknowingly, many people had crowded into the store. They all took bags to buy rice and grain. There were more people, and they had begun to queue up consciously.

Yang Laoliu hurriedly said, "buy! Buy! Buy! Buy! The small one will buy 15 copper coins. How many do you think?"

The man didn't say much. He quickly weighed most of the bag of rice grain for him. When he saw that he didn't have a bag, he gave him a bag.

With a trembling hand, Yang Laoliu took fifteen copper coins from his arms and counted them to the other party, but he found that the other party had given so much. He was surprised and said, "boss! Why so much?"

The other side said, "that's the price. It's the will of his Royal Highness the king of the Chinese national prison. We must set up regular closing positions in the capital and local markets. In bad times, we must sell food to the people at the lowest price so that they can eat."

There are also many people in the store. They came here only after they heard that the price of rice grain is very cheap. When they heard their explanation, they quickly expressed their admiration.

You know, such a scene has not been seen for a long time. Daming also has regular closing positions and Huimin warehouses. The main purpose is to store grain and sell it to the people at a relatively low price in disaster years so that they can live. However, after years of corruption, it has long become a virtual organization. Even if there is grain, there are no such institutions in many places, Also sell expensive.

In these war years, grain is better than silver. Often this ten kilos of grain is equivalent to a human life. After the Chinese Army surrounded the capital, the price of rice in the capital increased surprisingly. The price of rice and grain in many stores increased several times. Many ordinary people went bankrupt and couldn't live at all. They were thinking, except starvation, There's no other way.

Who knows, after the Chinese army entered the city, it actually transported a large number of grain and sold it to these people at such a low price, which makes most of them happy. With such a court and such an official, everyone has a life. This is the benevolent government we all look forward to!
