Chapter 216 Food Price

"By the way, you should also notify Fuyun Sect. Everyone should be vigilant about this matter." Lin Xiqi said.

"Okay." Renyue nodded.

This time, the people from the Later Yuan army were also followed by the people from the Later Yuan River. These people probably had already scattered into Liangzhou, so we must be vigilant.

"Wang Dong, when you collect information, you have to spread the news and spread these things as soon as possible." Lin Xiqi said, "I hope everyone can get the news in time and escape one by one."

"I understand." Wang Dong said.

Wang Dong knew that these were targeting the people, not only Sandao County, but also other counties.

No matter what other magistrates are concerned about, Lin Xiqi still hopes that these people can escape the disaster.

"Just like this, everyone acts on their own and do not slackew." Lin Xiqi waved.

After they left, Lin Xiqi was the only one left here.

Su Qinglan shook at the door and looked inside with her head.

"Sneaky, let's talk about anything if you have anything to do." Lin Xiqi said.

Seeing that she was discovered, Su Qinglan couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said, "Sir, I'm very careful, but I didn't expect that I'll be discovered by you."

"Don't talk nonsense, tell serious things, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with Monk Shande?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"Not yet." Su Qinglan shook her head and said, "It's Miss Qin's business. She just came to find me and said she wanted to walk around the city. I dare not make decisions without authorization, so I came to ask the Lord for instructions."

"The Hou Yuan army invaded, and it is better to stay in the yamen during this period." Lin Xiqi said.

"I think so too." Su Qinglan blinked.

When Su Qinglan finished saying this, Lin Xiqi thought about it again and said, "Forget it, go and let her come over, I'll take him around the city."

"Really? That servant wants to go too, just be watched by the sister of Monk Shande." Su Qinglan's eyes lit up.

"I knew you couldn't stay idle for a long time, so you wanted to go out by yourself, right? That is, Qingmei doesn't care about you, okay, you can go with me too." Lin Xiqi chuckled.

"I love Qinglan the most. I will inform Miss Qin now." Su Qinglan said happily.

Su Qingmei has a quieter personality. She will not complain if she takes Su Qinglan out to keep her here.

"I don't know what the people in the city will react after they know these things." Lin Xiqi thought to himself.

He originally didn't want Qin Xiaoyin to go out, but now the martial law in Sandao County has begun to be on the verge of martial law. It must be a little deserted than before, and most people stay at home and cannot go out.

There is nothing to visit in such a county town.

But Lin Xiqi still wants to know some of the thoughts and reactions of the people in the city so that he can better make some decisions in the next step.

Su Qinglan, Qin Xiaoyin and Xiaolu came soon.

"Sir, you are busy with business, so you don't have to go out with us, right?" Qin Xiaoyin said.

"The situation outside is special now, so I am still not relieved that you can go out." Lin Xiqi smiled and said.

Qin Xiaoyin felt helpless. She wanted to go out for a walk by herself, but she never thought about being with Lin Xiqi.

"Okay." Qin Xiaoyin nodded at the end.

Here, she is not good at using any kind of slut.

She also knew about Houyuan's invasion and did not want to cause any trouble to Lin Xiqi.

Since Lin Xiqi insisted, she didn't have much to say.

"It's indeed much deserted compared to Dunhuang City." Qin Xiaoyin said while walking on the street.

"Dunhuang City is a county town after all, how can we compare to a remote small county town like ours?" Lin Xiqi said, "It was a little lively before, but now everyone is not out."

There are few pedestrians on the street, and the street gives people the feeling that it is much wider.

Qin Xiaoyin turned around for a while and was not very interested. In fact, she wanted to leave the city even more, but she didn't mention it at this time. Let's wait until the Houyuan army has passed.

Although there were not many pedestrians on the street, Lin Xiqi still learned some news from these people.

The people in the city were still uneasy. The attack on Hou Yuan meant a war, and there was a danger of the city being broken.

In the past, counties like Sandao County were relatively safe, and the troops attacked by Houyuan generally did not choose to siege the city.

But this time it was different. Although these people did not know the exact number of soldiers from Hou Yuan, Chen Changjie still warned them that this time was more serious than before.

"The grain price has increased by 20%. Shouldn't you, the magistrate, pay attention to it?" Qin Xiaoyin suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Lin Xiqi stared at Qin Xiaoyin in surprise.

"What? Is there anything wrong with this girl's face?" Qin Xiaoyin couldn't help but ask when she saw Lin Xiqi staring at her.

"I didn't expect that I would be familiar with some of the people's livelihoods." Lin Xiqi withdrew his gaze and smiled.

"Don't think that this girl is the one who never goes out of the gate. The Chiyan Sect used to be the ruler of Dunhuang County. It involves some matters of the people, so I can understand it." Qin Xiaoyin said.

Lin Xiqi nodded. These people had also talked about the price of food just now, and it was obviously heard by Qin Xiaoyin.

Lin Xiqi knew that Qin Xiaoyin was a little disgusted with her attitude, but it did not mean that she was too arrogant, at least she was very decent towards others and dealing with people.

"It seems that the official I bought made her feel no good." Lin Xiqi said with a wry smile.

"If the grain prices rise again, be careful that people's hearts are unstable." Qin Xiaoyin said again.

"I believe Mr. Chen can do it well," said Lin Xiqi.

"I am just reminding you that it is reasonable to increase by 20% now. After all, a war is imminent." Qin Xiaoyin said, "Then it depends on your county magistrate's control over your rule. There are grain merchants who hoard grain in every place, especially at this time, when they are making trouble."

Lin Xiqi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. If the food price rises again, it will be inappropriate."

Seeing that Lin Xiqi was confident, Qin Xiaoyin still had some doubts in her heart whether he could stabilize the food price as he said. However, these things were something Lin Xiqi should consider after all. Just mention it by an outsider, and it is not easy to say more.

In her opinion, how could a young boy like Lin Xiqi be able to live in a county?

There are not too many local snakes here, just a teenage boy?

Before a few people walked forward, they heard noise coming from the front. It was rare to see many people gathered at the gate of a house on the deserted street.

"What happened?" Qin Xiaoyin asked.

"Can you know when you go over and take a look?" Lin Xiqi said.

When they got closer, Qin Xiaoyin discovered that a team of yamen runners were searching their homes.

After listening to what the people around her were saying, she couldn't help but look at Lin Xiqi beside her in surprise.

After a while, she saw an acquaintance.

That was Lin Xiqi's master Chen Changjie, who saw him walk out of this house.

He looked around and found Lin Xiqi.

Lin Xiqi signaled him not to pay attention, and Chen Changjie shouted: "For the sake of wealth and unkindness, hoarding grain and raising the price of grain, this is the end. You should take this as a warning."

"Mr. Chen, Master Chen, please spare my life. I am willing to donate all the food for free." A fat middle-aged man cried loudly by two yamen runners.

"Hmph, it's too late. The county government has already issued an order to prohibit raising the price of grain. Since you dare to do this, you must have this awareness, take it away, and search the house." Chen Changjie shouted coldly.
