Chapter 1670 Bought people
Some people's wells have also dried up, and even the wells of some small restaurants have run out of water, so many people are unemployed.
Once some people lose their jobs or their businesses go bankrupt, their families have no income, and some are even forced to reduce the number of servants in their families in order to reduce the water consumption of their families.
Some patriarchal families even started to sell their own daughters, wanting to save water for their men and make a lot of money for the family by the way.
For a time, the tooth shops in the city were overcrowded.
And after the emperor knew that there was a shortage of water in the city, he quickly summoned his ministers to think of many ways.
In the end, it was decided that as long as the court officials had water at home, no matter whether they had well water or river pond water, as long as it was water, they had to supply it free of charge at the door every day, otherwise it would be a capital offense.
After the courtiers received the order, even if many people were unwilling, especially some who wanted to take advantage of the national crisis to make a fortune by selling water, they had to compromise, and obediently dispatched servants to supply water to the people at the front door every day. .
Although this is not enough for the clean water that everyone needs every day, it does not affect the water they cook and drink, and they will not die of thirst.
Therefore, the sale of daughters and slaves in the city did not last long, and returned to normal in just a few days.
There are also those who want to collect money quietly, but there are officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere in the city every day. The emperor gave them an order, as long as they dare to sell water, once they receive a report, after checking it out, no matter what the identity of the person is, Even the relatives of the royal family were immediately imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, awaiting trial.
But even so, the situation in some parts of the city is not optimistic.
Those people who often go to the city to buy vegetables feel that the food is now the food they have managed to support, so everyone sells it at extraordinarily expensive, almost as good as Zhiye Zhai, and some even better than Zhiye Zhai's. Even more expensive, with the appearance of a lion with a big mouth.
Everyone knows how famous ?? Zhi Ye Zhai’s dishes are. During this period, the price has not increased, but the quantity of dishes is still very sufficient.
Most people think that instead of spending a lot of money to buy those ordinary vegetables, it is better to go to Zhiye Zhai to buy them.
As a result, Zhiye Zhai's business improved a lot, and Murong Lingran increased the supply every day.
Even so, it would be earlier than before.
And those people who raise prices to sell vegetables, sometimes they are lucky and can sell them at high prices in a short period of time.
Sometimes you are unlucky, and you can’t sell it until the sun goes down. In desperation, you can only sell it at a reduced price.
Although I didn’t make a lot of money, I didn’t lose money either.
These days lasted for a few days. Some people didn’t want to wait a day, wasting the water they brought out, and just sold the same as before, and the price of vegetables gradually returned to the original level.
Murong Lingran had instructed the person who had been in the tooth shop to be honest, and the person with clean hands and feet would inform her.
Therefore, after receiving the letter from the Yaxing, he immediately went to the Yaxing to buy six more clever maids, as well as four relatively sturdy young men, all of them went to the government to register before taking them home.
At this time, Xiao Manan looked at the ten people in front of him and said in surprise: "Aran, you really bought people back. You have been looking for women from the village to wash and sweep our house, and there is not much life left at home. I'm not afraid of getting tired of other things that A-niang can do, these people should cost you a lot of money."
