Pei Yuanhao put the teacup on the table and said in a deep voice: "What's going on outside?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, the situation will be temporarily controlled, and all the hungry people will be arranged in the south of the city.?"

“What about eating?”

"The Xiaguan has ordered people to open a porridge factory immediately, and then talk about it."

Although the situation has stabilized, everyone knows that these are just stopgap measures. Those hungry people need to have a full meal, but the porridge factory can only provide filling. Moreover, it was snowing in Yangzhou this time, the weather was much colder than before, and the victims also needed a lot of winter clothes and heating things.

It seems that this is really trickier than any one.

Pei Yuanhao said: "You just said that hoarding grain is not enough to deal with these hungry people. How much does it have to hoard grain in Yangzhou City now and how long can it last?"

"This--" Hong Wenquan hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately. Pei Yuanhao looked at him with sharp eyes. Hong Wenquan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "No, it's less than three days."

What? I stood aside and was shocked to hear it.

Less than three days! How is it possible? Jiangnan is called the hometown of fish and rice, and it is the granary of the entire Central Plains. Yangzhou is the richest city in the south. How can it be possible that the food storage here is less than three days? How is it possible!

Pei Yuanhao laughed furiously, sat at the table and slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said leisurely: "Sir Hong, are you making things difficult for me or joking with me?"

"Wei, I dare not."

"Then tell me where the food stockpiling in Yangzhou City went?"

"this--"

Hong Wenquan knelt on the ground and kept shaking, unable to say a word for a long time. Pei Yuanhao's slender eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold murderous aura. At this moment, another burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. Yang Yunhui and the people hurriedly ran in: "Third Brother!"

"What's wrong?"

Yang Yunhui looked at Hong Wenquan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I just received the news that all rice and grain stores in Yangzhou were closed last night. People heard that the victims were entering the city and were buying rice and grain everywhere. There were robbery accidents in several places, and now it was in chaos outside."

When Pei Yuanhao heard this, he immediately understood something, looked down at Hong Wenquan, and his eyes burst into anger.

At this time, Hong Wenquan also knew that the matter was exposed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the guilty minister is aware of his crime!"

He kowtowed desperately on the ground, and soon a blood mark was knocked out of his forehead, crying so hard that he burst into tears, and was particularly embarrassed, but looking at his appearance, I felt no sympathy in my heart - I thought he had kept the victims out of the city because he did not have enough food in the city. Although he was a little cruel, he was still considering the overall situation. But now in this situation, he realized that he was colluding with grain merchants in secret to hoarding grain, taking advantage of the disaster to raise the price of rice and make black money!

No wonder he would keep the victims from ten miles outside the city. He was not afraid that the victims would break into the city, but that Pei Yuanhao would find out and his wishful thinking would fail!

Pei Yuanhao suddenly stood up and said, "Catch it and put it in prison!"

"yes!"

The people around him did not dare to neglect them, and immediately came up to arrest Hong Wen, who was already scared and looked deserted, and Pei Yuanhao said coldly: "When this matter is over, I will peel you off again!"

After saying that, he walked outside and said to Yang Yunhui as he walked: "Come people immediately. We must stabilize the situation in Yangzhou and not let the victims join them to cause trouble!"
