Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1988:
When he was at the post house, Li Junxian assigned Wang Liaoyuan to the task of maintaining public order in the city and preventing the people in the city from being dissatisfied with the closure of the city gate and causing civil strife. But Wang Liaoyuan just returned from the post house. It didn't take long for the government office to receive such bad news-the grain shops in Taiyuan City were out of food!
It's not that the grain merchants took the opportunity to drive up the price of grain, but that they were out of grain!
Is this okay?
As a parent official, Wang Liaoyuan knew better than anyone about the importance of food to the people. He said that "food is the heaven for the people". If the news of Taiyuan no food continues to ferment, Wang Liaoyuan believes that it will not be long. , Taiyuan City will be in chaos!
By then, there are bound to be hundreds of people rushing into the city gate, wanting to go out of the city to buy food!
Even if Li Junxian did not assign him a task, as the provincial governor, Wang Liaoyuan must try his best to solve the current problems in Taiyuan City!
"Subordinates obey!"
The post office of the governor, the middle-aged scribe, surnamed Pang, gave the order. He also knew that the matter was urgent, so he grinded it on the spot and wrote a notice. After the incident, Wang Liaoyuan saw that the notice was correct, so he covered his own. Sealing the letter, he handed the notice to Feng Catou, and solemnly ordered:
"Feng catches the head, this officer has ordered you to immediately arrange for someone to rub out this notice, and then post it on Brother's Minfang in the city, and integrate all the government officials and county government officials, strengthen patrols in the city, and prevent people from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. ! If there is not enough manpower, report immediately, and the officer will go to Fang Canjun to borrow troops!"
Feng catches his head and clasped his fists to lead his orders: "Yes! Subordinates obey!"
After that, Feng Tautou took the notice from Wang Liaoyuan, then turned around and left in a hurry!
In Houya, Wang Liaoyuan frowned and looked at the direction Feng Tautou was leaving. He was silent. He always felt something was wrong with this matter, because since the world became peaceful, there has never been food shortage in Taiyuan City. Although the Sifang Gates of Taiyuan City were blocked in the past two days, let alone two days, even if Taiyuan City was blocked for ten and a half days, the surplus grains in the granaries of the major grain shops in the city would be enough for hundreds of thousands of people in the city to consume. , But now the major grain shops in the city suddenly run out of food, which made Wang Liaoyuan feel strange after he calmed down!
Could it be that someone is secretly playing tricks?
Wang Liaoyuan couldn't help but question in his heart.
"Does the Governor think that today is a bit weird?"
The middle-aged scholar surnamed Pang saw Wang Liaoyuan concentrating his eyebrows in thought, his eyes flickered, and after a pause, he asked tentatively.
"This thing is really strange!"
After hearing the sound, Wang Liaoyuan came back to his senses in an instant. He nodded, then turned to ask: "What did Mr. Pang see?"
The scribe surnamed Pang shook his head and said: "The Governor can't see it. How can Pang see it? It's just that Pang feels that Taiyuan City has only blocked the gate for two days. Today, the city of Taiyuan has been blocked, and there is no place in the Tang Dynasty. During the war, the grain shops in the city should not have no grain storage, and the people in the city should not be rushing to buy grain! There must be something hidden in this! Maybe someone is secretly controlling all this, maybe! /
Furthermore, the major grain stores in the city only suffered from food shortages, and no grain merchants took the opportunity to drive up grain prices. This shows that today’s incident happened suddenly and many grain merchants had not anticipated it. They were not behind the scenes, because They did not profit from it! "
