As for Dong Sujia and the others, they had already walked towards the outside of the city gate.
The refugees have slowly begun to evacuate.
However, what Zhang Feimo didn't expect was that as soon as he went out, he saw a completely different scene.
Whether it is the rice shop or the herbal medicine shop, there are queues...
"What's going on?" Zhang Feimo asked the bailiff behind him in a deep voice.
It is obvious that these merchants are raising prices.
Zhang Fei knew this was the truth, and he asked the yamen runners.
What it actually means is, is it possible that they didn't notice this?
Looking around, there were no yamen runners to maintain order.
"Fifth brother, it seems that it is still difficult to completely control it at once." Chi Feixuan said worriedly.
"Even if you don't want to, you have to do this, otherwise you can't control it. I'm sure you know that this is a plague, not a joking matter. They don't know, but it doesn't mean we don't know either."
"So, what are your plans, Fifth Brother?"
After these words came out, Zhang Feimo fell silent.
He had no idea what to do. This was the first time he had encountered such a problem in ten years.
He didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, he seemed helpless and confused. He didn't know what to do next.
As a county magistrate, he seemed to have done everything he was supposed to do.
Looking at this scene, he felt helpless.
Suddenly, he felt incompetent.
"Fifth brother, if it really doesn't work, we can use the yamen runners to deliver the supplies to your door. Do you think this method is feasible?"
Chi Feixuan suggested from the side.
He also saw the helplessness and confusion in Zhang Feimo's eyes.
This time, he will stand by him.
"This is the only way for now." Zhang Feimo said softly.
After saying this, he looked at Chi Feixuan again, "Luckily I have you, otherwise, I really don't know how I would have made it through."
"Are you being polite to me?"
Zhang Feimo nodded, "Think about it, God has been kind to me."
The words were spoken to Chi Feixuan, but also to himself.
Just as I was about to turn around, I saw the herbal medicine shop in front was bustling again.
Helplessly, the two turned around and walked towards them.
As they approached, the voices of the villagers' condemnation reached their ears.
"Why has the price of this herb suddenly increased so much? It wasn't like this two days ago."
"Yes, the price of rice from the other side has also increased, even the price of coarse rice has increased, and the price of refined flour has also increased. How can we survive?"
"You can't bully people like this."
"Get out of here, if you don't want to buy, just go away and don't bother us here." The man at the back of the line said irritably.
He almost drove the person away.
"That's right. If you don't buy, there will be others who will. Why don't you ask them to raise the price? If you are poor, don't come to buy herbs."
"Everyone buys to stock up. If you don't have money, then you won't stock up."
"What about rice? We also need to eat rice, so why are they raising the price?"
"Look at what you're saying, Auntie. The shop belongs to someone else, and the rice is also theirs. If they want to raise the price, they can. If you can't afford it, just don't buy it. How can you blame them so much? Besides, if you don't buy it, there are others who will buy it."
"......"
Before Zhang Feimo and Chi Feixuan got close, they could already hear the sound of them arguing.
Looking at the rice shop opposite, there was also a long queue.
