"Miss, it's really not easy for them to pick children."

Yanyan asked, “What is their purpose?”

Daniu glanced at the soldier next to him and saw that the lady signaled that he was fine, he began to tell the news he had inquired about.

"It turns out that every two households are responsible for a county. The children they choose should be the ones who have eaten R meat first, then those who have been sick before, and finally those who are healthy. The age is seven or eight is the most suitable, and there are no restrictions on men and women."

"The same is true for me. First of all, I will ask if I have eaten meat. If I have, I will ask about my age. As long as I am not sick, I will stay." Mo Niang added. "I also heard the complaints of the two managers, saying that there are fewer and fewer children who can choose. In order to get in touch with the head of the family, I can only relax the conditions."

The selection criteria they mentioned are interesting.

"Is there any?" Yanyan asked.

"Yes," Daniu continued, "I heard from them that many disaster victims would have to leave a son to inherit the incense. As long as the disaster victims hand over the reserved child, they can hold on for another half a year."

Xiao Jia's face became not very good, "Are they going to raise the price again?"

The big giant glanced at him in surprise, "How do you know, they really said that."

"These people deserve to die." Xiao Jia stomped his feet in anger, but in the end he could only sigh powerlessly. "Oh."

Yanyan has guessed the approximate possibility.

"Did the government buy food from them?"

Xiao Jia nodded, feeling unwilling, "Not to mention those big families, there are no less than 200 merchants in the city who store hundreds of tons of grain, and more than 50 of them have thousands of tons of grain. If these grains are taken out, even if the victims eat one meal a day, they can eat them for several years."

The general and the others have calculated it.

Nine hundred thousand victims ate almost 4 tons of rice and 8 tons of bran in a day, and 120 tons of rice per month. Conservatively, 100 tons can last for a month, and 1,200 tons of rice per year.

Is there a lot? But for those big merchants, they only spend half of each person, and the two hundred households are 10,000 tons, which can make the victims unable to finish eating for eight years.

Besides, they won’t take it in vain, they just gave the money, and those merchants disagreed.

Not only does the food increase in price every day, but it also has limited quantity, which is simply bullying.

You know, the grain they stocked was purchased at a low price due to drought, and now it is sold at a price of hundreds of times higher, and it is not afraid of lightning strikes.

If the state hadn't helped these victims to protect the money from the treasury and take out all the money from the treasury, these people would have starved to death long ago.

"The merchants in Jinchuan have a good explanation of what it means to be free from evil and not business. They have no sense of family and country at all, and they know how to make money, haha."

Xiao Jia's face was full of mockery, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.

Yanyan was a little puzzled, "Why didn't your boss take you to borrow food?"

In special circumstances, the orders of the outside king will not be accepted. If she is replaced by her, she will directly search the guy if she fails to reach an agreement.

Xiao Jia smiled bitterly, "Why didn't you borrow it? But someone stopped me. Miss Yan, do you know why these people are coming to choose children?"

Hum? Are the two related?

The court cannot stop it, so it is an existence that forces the court to obey orders.

"Tian Palace?" She first thought of this so-called force above the country, and then thought about what Li Qiang had done before, and this guess is almost the same.

"Have Miss Yan heard of the Heavenly Palace, too? It's them."

His sense of powerlessness was caused by this, "No one dared to disobey the orders of the Heavenly Palace, even our general. It is said,"

He paused, looked around, and then lowered his voice.

"It is said that the person above did not receive the approval of the palace master and he was unwilling to abdicate, so he was punished for ten years of severe drought."

Speaking of this, he was indignant, "You said that if the people above them are in conflict, they will find a way to solve it themselves, or if they fight one-on-one, they really can't start a war. Why do you joke about the lives of ordinary people? What a shitty hall master."

In the last sentence, he scolded him very quietly, making people almost unable to hear it.

Although his family is taken care of by the army, do others deserve it? Are the lives of ordinary people so cheap?

As for why he didn't scold the one above, because he took out all the money to provide disaster relief, he did not care about the lives of the people.

The saying of severe drought is the second time Yanyan heard about it.

She always felt that it was abnormal for three years to not rain, but if it was done by man, how powerful the palace would be.

She plans to be more low-key, especially when she meets people from the Heavenly Palace. She tries not to have conflicts when she doesn't figure out what the other party is going on.

"Miss Yan, I want to go back."

Xiao Jia remembered that he wanted to report a letter to Deputy General Han and quickly bought a batch before the price of grain increased.

Without waiting for Yanyan to say anything, Xiao Jia ran away.

Yanyan pinched her chin with a serious expression.

Xiaoyong looked up at his mother, with a look of worry.

"Mom, will you plan to conflict with that Heavenly Palace?"

"I can't make up my mind either. In fact, 900,000 people are not a big deal. Just have money. The question is, who will sell the children if the victims have something to eat?"

That would definitely conflict with the plan of the Heavenly Palace.

Xiao Dan said fearlessly, "Mom, you are all gods, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Yanyan touched her daughter's little head, smiled and said nothing.

Her family knows her family affairs, and her supermarket god is completely fictional.

Xiaoyong explained to his sister, "Although my mother and that palace master have support from the gods, one is a large force that the four major countries fear for a long time, and the other is a 200-person team that has just been formed. Do you think this is comparable?"

"Oh, yes," Xiao Dan realized that he had ignored something, "Mom, then we have also developed our power, there are so many disaster victims."

"Impossible." Xiaoyong explained to her again.

"How could the government watch as my mother develop so many disaster victims into her own subordinates? I remember the Master said that individuals cannot have private soldiers. Even guards or servants have restrictions. The number of people must be limited according to their identity. Once they exceed them, they will violate the law."

"Then why is the Heavenly Palace so powerful that it's even afraid of the army?"

Xiaoyong couldn't answer this question for a moment, so he could only shake his head, "I don't know either. Maybe the other party's identity was not simple from the beginning, maybe the other party had the ability to be thorough, maybe the other party was not a person from the beginning, but a force from the beginning?"

If you want to know why, you must learn more. Now all your thoughts are guesses.

Yanyan gently touched her son's head and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll just change my plan."

"Mom," Xiaoyong was a little unwilling, "This is a good opportunity."

Yanyan didn't feel sorry for her, "There will be opportunities again. As long as the task is completed, I can change my place."

Originally, she wanted to change the big ones, change the sales model from retail to wholesale, and then give her identity to Bojin, but due to the existence of this Heavenly Palace, she is still safer.

"However, I will give it a try. I believe that these people will definitely be more willing to do serious business than picking children."
