Chapter 188 The people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully!
With such cold water poured down, and the biting cold wind howling by, those people were almost frozen. They were all sitting there with runny noses, the hands holding the bowls were shaking, and they looked miserable and old.
Those who couldn't bear it would almost faint, and the concubines had long been unable to endure such suffering, and they all grabbed the businessmen and cried softly.
"Master, I can't do it anymore, it's too cold!"
"I'm going to freeze to death!"
As soon as these concubines spoke, the parents of the grain merchants also grabbed their children and said: "Yes, our old bones can't stand it anymore!"
"Have someone bring something hot, even steamed buns!"
Those businessmen also saw that Pei Yuanhao was deliberately making things difficult today. Although they could still hold on, their relatives around them could no longer hold on. There was no other way. Some people were already talking among themselves, thinking about how to talk to Pei Yuanhao.
The person in charge of the overall situation was still sitting there calmly, looking at the people in front of him like a mirror lake.
At this moment, I was also sighing in my heart, maybe I really wasn’t enough, he didn’t think deeply enough, and he didn’t do it decisively enough, otherwise it would not be so easy to win this secret fight today.
Finally, Boss Liu, who was promoted to a senior official, stood up and said with chattering teeth: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"What's the matter?"
The man grimaced and trembled and said: "Your Highness indeed has good intentions for the livelihood of the victims, and we are deeply grateful for it. However, it is really too cold, so please give us some hot soup and rice..."

Before he finished speaking, the people around him hurriedly agreed, standing up and bowing to Pei Yuanhao.
It was only then that Pei Yuanhao put down the bowl in his hand, stood up slowly and walked to the middle of them. Looking at the tears streaming down his face, he said lightly: "You feel cold too, and you feel hungry?"
Everyone hurriedly said: "Yes, yes."
He sneered and said: "You are just hungry, and after a while of cold wind, you feel you can't stand it anymore, but look at the people below, they have been hungry for more than ten days and have been freezing for more than a month!
You are hungry. There are delicacies when you go home.
Sea food, delicacies, but they can only survive by eating tree bark, digging Guanyin soil, and some people cut off the flesh of the dead and cook it to eat. You are complaining now, but look down and see who it is.
More bitter!"
His voice was deep and passionate, and sounded like a morning bell in his ears. The victims below the tower also heard it, and they gathered under the tower one after another and looked up at it.
Pei Yuanhao continued: "You are all well-known people in Yangzhou and have a lot of wealth, but where did your money come from? Did you get it by going to the dock to carry your handbags, or did you go to the fields to plow and sow? You guys got it?
It is these people who have worked so hard to grow it.
When the grain is collected by you, you have the opportunity to increase the price and make money. But now, they are in trouble, and I asked you to raise some grain to save people, but you dodged each other and sent them away with some rice from the bottom of the granary.
Is there such a cause and effect in the world?!"
Every word he said was resounding. When the victims below the gate heard it, they all became excited and shouted loudly: "Yes! Your Highness is right!"
"We just have to survive!"
"Give us a bite to eat, Your Highness, thank you very much, Your Highness!"
Listening to the bustling crowd below, the merchants upstairs all turned pale and did not say anything. Pei Yuanhao slowly turned around and looked at them, and said in a deep voice: "The regulations of the Celestial Dynasty, every government office has
There is a precept stone inscription at the door. I believe everyone has heard of the sixteen characters on it. I will give these sixteen characters to you again——"
