Li Luoyang did not always guard the square outside the yamen gate. He was not afraid of being tired, but because there were too many people gathered there. He is not afraid of many people, but a group of people who have not washed for a long time and the smell of four bodies are really unbearable for him. He must be responsible for his nose. If he continues to stay there, he is afraid that he will be unable to help spit out.

Because Zheng Shi and Mo Jiao were absent, Li Luoyang was regarded as the backbone by the people of Taiyuan Yamen. Those yamen servants asked Li Luoyang to stay in the Yamen side hall. In order to keep Li Luoyang, they even sent tea to Li Luoyang.

This is tea. When the whole city was running out of food, someone sent tea to him. Li Luoyang suddenly felt something wrong after tasting two mouthfuls. He frowned and asked Xiao Si'er to find Wang GUI.

"Yes, sir."

Well, Wang GUI's name has changed again. Li Luoyang Xin said that Wang GUI didn't have the habit of giving nicknames to others since he was a child. Otherwise, how could he change his name?

"General Wang, I just want to ask, is there a food shortage in our city?"

"The current situation is like this. At the end of today, the generals have only two meals, one of which is porridge." Wang GUI said with an embarrassed face. In fact, he didn't want to say this, but when Li Luoyang asked, Wang GUI felt that if he didn't say it, he was sorry for his soldiers. After all, everyone was fighting with their lives. If you weren't careful, you might get hurt or even die. It's unreasonable to just drink porridge!

Besides, when it really needs those warriors to work hard, if they are hungry, how can they have the strength to work hard with others? So since Li Luoyang asked, Wang GUI naturally said it, and he was indignant.

"It's so serious that your men don't have any other ideas?"

"Other ideas?" Wang GUI frowned. He was a little nervous. If Li Luoyang was worried that his men would rebel, how should he answer?

Fortunately, Li Luoyang was good at observing words and expressions. He immediately saw what Wang GUI was worried about and hurriedly said: "General Wang, don't worry. I don't mean that. People eat bigger than God. Even if I'm hungry, I don't want to use my head. You see, the Yamen here sent me tea. It's a good thing. I don't think there are many in Taiyuan mansion?"

Of course, tea is a good thing, but tea can't fill the belly. At present, it's valuable to fill the belly. Things like tea are not very valuable. Fortunately, tea can at least be imported. If it can't even be imported, such as gold, silver and jewelry, I'm afraid it will be completely ignored when it breaks down in Taiyuan.

Of course, Wang GUI also understood this truth, but he didn't think Li Luoyang was the kind of person who didn't have a target. Since he mentioned tea, he must want to say something, but he couldn't think through it.

Li Luoyang here can see that if he doesn't point out, I'm afraid Wang GUI won't forget that aspect. In a sense, this is caused by a person's thinking set. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a person to break his thinking set to think about problems. It has nothing to do with people's IQ, unless it is through experience Repeated and long-time training is possible.

Li Luoyang has experienced this kind of training. In his previous life, he made so much money that he didn't spend it on women or clubs. In fact, those classes with training fees of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands twice a month are not as unbearable as everyone imagined. He can learn more or less.

"General Wang, have you ever thought that the city is really short of food to the extent that everyone can only drink porridge? Or is porridge just a superficial phenomenon?"

It's not without his reason that Li Luoyang said this. Similar things have happened more than once in history. He remembers that it should be the end of the Ming Dynasty. Li Zicheng had surrounded the capital at that time, and the threat from foreign nationalities in the North was becoming more and more obvious. At this time, Li Zicheng made a request to the emperor. If the emperor was willing to give him an official position, he would take out one million liang of silver at the same time In order to reward the expenses of the three armies, he can not attack the Imperial City, and he should not be an anti thief. He leads the soldiers to fight the braids.

At that time, the emperor wanted to give it, but there was no in the Treasury. It was really not. In the late Ming Dynasty, the emptiness of the Treasury was comparable to that of the villages where devils had entered. In this case, the emperor told the ministers, why don't you join me?

The ministers who had been about to use this method to solve Li Zicheng suddenly turned back when they heard that they wanted to take their own money to collect 1 million liang of silver. They said that the imperial city was strong and the anti thief was helpless, that this move was humiliating to the national system, and that the big husband should fight to the death. In a word, they were unwilling to pay.

Then it turned yellow. Li Zicheng attacked the Imperial City in a rage, and finally the city was broken. The silver found from the ministers' homes who claimed that they could not take 5000 liang of silver was piled into a mountain, at least 7000 liang of silver.

One million taels of silver was beaten to pieces and people were killed, but the silver eventually found was as high as seven or eight thousand taels, so that hundreds of years later, people were still searching around for the treasure left by King Li Chuang. It can be seen that many people always take chances.

Just like the current Taiyuan mansion, on the surface, the whole city seems to have been unable to get food for a day or two. Even Zheng Shi, an official, has made plans to let 80000 people be buried with the city, but who can guarantee that the rich and powerful people in the city are telling the truth?

Li Luoyang didn't think of this at first. It was because he suddenly drank tea that his brain suddenly woke up.

"You mean..." Wang GUI was a little surprised. He never thought that Li Luoyang would even think of the rich in the city and let him lead the troops to "ask for food". Of course, this move is understandable, but do Li Luoyang know the consequences?

It is impossible for the rich and powerful families in the city to say that there is no relationship at home. It doesn't matter. It's not impossible to make a fortune simply by doing business, but when wealth accumulates to a certain extent, it will always be connected with officials, otherwise there will be no umbrella. In fact, leading soldiers to ask for grain is to copy the house. It can be imagined that those people will never take out the grain stored at home honestly. Moreover, the grain shortage has lasted for so long. Even if there is grain, they must hide the grain very secretly. No detailed hunters can find it at all.
