Chapter 57: The Students Are Kidnapped
Liu Kang was staggering after hearing this. Is the world a big cure or something?
Since I was born, I have never heard of the market price of this grain price as low as a penny.
Of course, he wouldn't really make fun of this. He knew in his heart that the two families were deliberately trying to please Zhang Yu.
"Well, it seems like this..." Zhang Yu nodded, as if the price of grain should be this price, "This year's market price seems like this."
It can be seen that if I don’t accept this kindness slightly, both families will probably not be able to settle down.
Pure fear is useless, and the use of both kindness and power can make people completely suffer from Stockholm syndrome.
The heads of the two families responded quickly and felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, this year, if you spend a penny every year, you will really not be able to lose much food.
Finally, Zhang Yu took out a piece of golden cake and bought 10,000 s of grain from the two families.
One stone weighs about 62 pounds, and there is a lack of enough side food and oil supplements. If it is just wild vegetables and staple food, even if it is two meals a day, an adult will have to eat one pound of food. Women and children cannot eat that much, which is only 60% of that of men.
In Taiping Town, there are more than 6,000 men and nearly 7,000 women and children, and nearly 10,000 kilograms of grain every day. Converted into stone, it consumes about 170 stones of grain every day, which is 5,100 stones of grain in a month.
Taiping Town originally had food, and there was still a month to get a bumper harvest. Buying more food is also to prevent it.
God knows when another Wang Ben and Zheng Ben came, and brought thousands of brothers and brothers, and there was not enough food!
Suddenly I realized that these days, no one dared to take refuge in refugees.
If you want to escape from famine, people from the same village will escape together, at least thousands or tens of thousands. Who dares to collect it?
Before there is output, who will reimburse the grain invested in these months?
The Han Dynasty did not regularly close the warehouses and the country did not have any grain reserves. What did local officials use to take refugees?
Zhang Yu bought 10,000 s of grain in one breath. The heads of the two families still felt a little bleeding.
Lu Su is also a local tyrant, and his family only has 6,000 stones of grain reserved.
Although the two families have a big family and each of them spends 5,000 shi of grain, it is still a bit harmful to say anything. Even if the family does not have enough food, the money is still enough, and they can always spend some money to buy some.
With the relationship between the two companies and other powerful people, it is still okay to buy some food at the market price. Of course, the market price here is really the market price.
"A piece of golden cake, ten thousand stones of grain..." Liu Kang said with great interest, "Why should I resell some to my senior brother?"
"Senior brother is joking." Zhang Yu knew he was joking, after all, the business was too easy to do.
"I used to worry that my junior brother would arouse the covetousness of the powerful and would be unfavorable to you. Now it seems that I wish they would do this and would earn another batch of food at that time." Liu Kang sighed.
Food is second, and the awe of Zhang Yu is the most important thing for the two heads of the family.
If there are more people like this, who else in Jinan can disobey the Taiping Sect? He, the prince, is considered interesting.
I just became this prince ten years ago. I thought that a good day was coming, but these powerful men taught him to be low-key.
Ten years later, I finally had the chance to exclaim.
"I am a person outside the world and I am not attached to the world." Zhang Yu shook his head, "They jumped out on their own initiative. I don't mind taking it at will. They don't want to jump, so let them."
"Your junior brother is open-minded." Liu Kang didn't force himself. Anyway, Fu Lin's two families set an example, and before the other companies take action, they should also consider their abilities.
The matter here has come to an end. Zhang Yu is planning to go back to the guest room to rest, waiting for the arrival of supper time.
"Teacher, something happened!" Before he could turn around, a student hurriedly ran in, "Zhu Ming and Yang Jun were kidnapped by the gangster!"
"What's the specific situation?" Zhang Yu asked immediately, and felt strange. Who else in Jinan has such a weak eye?
"At that time, we met one after another and were about to come back. A few strong men suddenly emerged from the alley, and they used sacks to cover Zhu Ming and Yang Jun from a distance, and took them away!" Several students were talking nonsense, and at least they explained the matter.
"Didn't you come to help?" Zhang Yu asked back.
"Their people stopped us for a while. When we broke through the past, the two were taken away by the evil people and disappeared." The student replied in embarrassment. Their first time they came to Dongpingling, they did not dare to chase after those who were not familiar with the place here.
If the other party sets up an ambush, he will chase him and fall into the trap.
"But!" A student immediately expressed his opinion, "We caught one of their people!"
By the way, other students outside had already taken a strong man over.
This man's nose and face were swollen, and he was obviously beaten up by these students. It is said that Zhou Cang was the one who escorted him, so it is self-evident who was attacking him.
"My teacher, the disciple is incompetent and cannot save Zhu Ming and Yang Jun." Zhou Cang stepped forward and thought to Zhang Yu to sue him first.
Fortunately, Yang Jun, but Zhu Ming is like him, both Zhang Yu's disciples. As a senior brother, it is also a ruling responsibility to not be able to save his junior brother.
"It's understandable that the incident happened suddenly." Zhang Yu nodded and comforted.
I have probably learned about the situation. Before everyone could meet, the bad guy attacked Zhu Ming and Yang Jun on the road. Some students discovered it and hurried over to rescue him. Zhou Cang was the farthest away and ran the fastest, but he was not familiar with Dongpingling, so he was still leaving the bad guy.
Then he looked at the captured strong man and asked: "What is your identity?"
"Hmph!" The strong man was stubborn and refused to say anything after being beaten like this. Thinking about it, if he had been that kind of corrupt, Zhou Cang and others would have said everything long ago after being beaten up.
"You dare to be rude to your mentor!" Zhou Cang saw this and acted to fight.
However, Zhang Yu shook his head at him and then stopped.
As for the current situation of this strong man, if you continue to fight, you may accidentally kill the person, and the clues will be cut off.
"It's okay, I'm the best at interrogating prisoners." Zhang Yu smiled, then looked at the strong man, "I am Zhang Yu, the leader of the Taiping Sect. I don't know if you know?"
The latter said nothing, but the heartbeat, facial muscles, and eyes could be reflected, and the other party knew.
This means that the kidnapping is not a temporary intention, but a premeditation.
In the entire Jinan Kingdom, there were more than the Fulin family who wanted to tie him up. However, it was obvious that tied him up without any effect.
This time, his bringing students is a good breakthrough in the eyes of those people. Taking students as hostages can also force him to compromise.
In particular, they were precisely tied to Zhu Ming, a student with low military power, obviously had a survey.
It should be that they had already targeted him when they brought the three of them to the last time. As for Yang Jun, it can only be said to be by the way.
When the two were walking together, they were afraid that they would not be sure which one was Zhu Ming, so they simply tied up together.
"The powerful family members do not want to provoke me, and there is no need to deal with me with the six major sects. Knowing my identity but still dares to take action, then there is only one left..." Zhang Yu has been observing his expression, "The remnants of the cult who were banned by the Prime Minister!"
