Although Wang GUI is not in charge of the government affairs in Taiyuan, it is an extraordinary period. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the city, his soldiers will not only maintain law and order on the city wall, but also spare some people and time to patrol every day.

This patrol was really broken by the soldiers twice. It was the noise that suddenly came out of the rich and noble people's homes. When the soldiers rushed to ask, they would often be blocked by the servants of large families, but there was no airtight wall in the world. Wang GUI secretly inquired after listening to the soldiers' report, but the result made him feel frightened.

"Say the Zeng family, which is not far from the government office. There were three people in their family five days ago. No one has seen them since. You can't be entertained by the Zeng family."

"Don't think of Shu?" Li Luoyang smiled coldly. As expected, the wine and meat of Zhumen are smelly. There are frozen bones on the road. Some people's courage is directly proportional to the thickness of their pockets. In addition, in troubled times, they can really do anything.

"Don't say I don't save my life. After all, I don't have this authority. If I dare to lead soldiers to break the door of others, Lord Zheng will send me to prison tomorrow." Wang GUI shook his head reluctantly. If he told the truth, he didn't regard Li Luoyang as an outsider.

Li Luoyang nodded and silently wrote down this matter in his heart. When he looked back, it was always useful. At present, the heart of Taiyuan city is still famine and Manichaeism. If these two things can not be controlled well, they both have the ability to destroy the whole Taiyuan city.

"I'll arrange to keep an eye on Manichaeism, as long as they dare to appear again."

"No!" Li Luoyang waved his hand and said, "unless they wrap ordinary people, your soldiers should be used to defend the city. They have worked hard enough. Unfortunately, they can't even eat enough now."

"But those local tyrants have plenty of food in their homes." Wang GUI sighed again, but a trace of essence flashed through Li Luoyang's eyes.

Mo Jiao finally came back. Zheng Shi had no intention to investigate the things in prison. As for the origin of those standard crossbows, both of them knew well, but they were unwilling to talk in detail in front of Li Luoyang. After all, Li Luoyang refused to become a person of six doors. This is always a barrier in Mo Jiao's heart.

What Li Luoyang learned from Wang GUI also made him reluctant to mention the source of the crossbow. Some window papers were pierced, and everyone was better. It was not fun to pierce them.

"Someone has started to take action outside the city. I just made a total with Zheng Shi, and there should be news from tomorrow." Mo Jiao took the initiative to talk about her and Zheng Shi's efforts, while Li Luoyang did not. Listen, anyway, he is only responsible for giving advice, not for specific actions. If his name is not right, he will not touch some things, so as not to make more mistakes.

"But there is not much food in the city."

Mo Jiao just talked about the food problem in the city. Li Luoyang had expected that she would talk about this book, and then said, "in fact, there is food in Taiyuan."

"There's grain? You don't mean Guancang?"

"Why? There is grain in the official warehouse?"

"What do you think I'm here for?" Mo Jiao said lightly. "I've been to the official warehouse since I first arrived in the city. There's no food. There are records, and the book is stable. However, I just think there's a problem inside. How can the official warehouse for so many years have released all the food long ago? Where have so many food gone?"

"Do you suspect a rat?"

"No doubt, there are problems in official warehouses everywhere, but it's the difference between big and small problems. Whether to catch people or not." Mo Jiao said thoroughly. After all, where are so many grains? Few people will be indifferent to guarding these grains. Even if they start to be indifferent, they will be moved by watching them not used day after day, year after year.

"Then why don't you catch people?"

"Is it still meaningful to arrest people now? And they made the book so flat that I didn't find any problems."

"How much grain is there in the official warehouse of Taiyuan government?"

Li Luoyang never thought about it. Now that Mo Jiao said it, he was interested.

"How to say? Enough for the whole population of Taiyuan for more than a month."

"So much?"

In the past, Li Luoyang didn't understand these things, but through Mo Jiao's explanation, he knew that the court actually had response measures for various disasters, especially food. However, all cities and towns with large population have their own official warehouses, and the biggest role of official warehouses is to stabilize food prices and deal with disasters.

However, from the time when the exiles surrounded Taiyuan mansion to now, counting the period when the city gate was not closed, it did not take more than a month. As a result, there was no food. More importantly, the official warehouses were empty. According to Mo Jiao's records, a few days before the refugees besieged the city, it was recorded that the official warehouse released a large amount of grain. According to the officials in charge of the official warehouse, these grains were eaten by the refugees outside the city.

"For the refugees outside the city? Do you believe it?"

"Otherwise? I can't catch all the refugees? Even if I do, they still have a reason. After all, refugees are floating people. Today these people are here, tomorrow those people are there, and the people who are full have left. The rest are late. What do you want me to say?"

"Yes, it's not clear. Is that all?"

"Who caused the food shortage in Taiyuan Prefecture? The timing is wrong, and it's not easy to check." Mo Jiao seems a little worried. It can be seen that she is very unwilling, but she suffers from no solution. Li Luoyang was silent for a moment. He also had a full ideological struggle in his mind. Finally, he said:

"Have you ever thought about the purpose of those official storehouses? They can't move all these grains back to their homes and hide them? Even in case of natural and man-made disasters, I don't believe they will do so."

"Certainly not. The more this time, the higher the value of grain. If I were an official warehouse keeper, I must have sold all the grain at a high price and hid it in gold and silver until the future - do you mean to copy the house?"

"No, no, no, it's too violent to copy the family. Especially at this juncture, copying the family of court officials has a great impact on the stability of the people. It's not good."

"What's the use of asking?" Mo Jiao asked angrily.

"I mean, since some people sell grain, others buy grain. Besides, these officials in the official warehouse can't go out to sell grain themselves? They always need help? Isn't it true that so much grain will be exposed at one time?"

"Oh? Someone help, you mean?"

"Check! Find someone to check. Where else can I buy food in the city and who is selling it!"
