Traveling through the barren years: holding space treasures in hand to create the world

Originally, Li Dagui thought that even if the bazaar did not have the scale of modern society, the scale of the commercial street would at least have the scale of the vegetable market.

After all, he heard from the villagers that this Yangcheng market was a place where nearby villagers would come.

And the day of the market is only once a month, so everyone usually doesn't miss it.

Even when food production is low during the drought, the villagers still need a place to sell their food.

Just like Li Fengshou before, he also came to this kind of place to sell the dowry.

Therefore, Li Dagui still thought that there should be quite a lot of people in the market.

However, at this time, Li Dagui realized that he was wrong.

Now he could only see that there were very few people in the bazaar.

Basically, there are only three or two kittens.

They sat on the ground with a rag in front of them.

Some old objects are displayed directly on it.

This bazaar gives Li Dagui the feeling that it is like a second-hand market in the city.

The quality of the goods is very poor, and the new goods are largely invisible.

...

"This master, this is the place you are looking for."

Seeing that Li Dagui had already been brought in place, Gou Yu said, "However, there are many fewer people selling things now than before. "

Huh? Before, a lot of people's?

Li Dagui heard Gou Yu say this, and asked curiously.

"That's right, in the past, when it was basically the day of the market, there would be a crowd of people."

"At that time, we, the guards, will be transferred over to maintain order."

"It was really hard at that time, and I didn't have any rest for almost the whole day."

Li Dagui looked at the slightly painful expression of the dog left, and he could already guess the situation of the market at that time.

"When did that get so deserted?"

When Gou Yu heard this question, he thought for a while and said, "I think it should be when the drought began."

"At that time, the area around Yangcheng was severely affected, the grain harvest was poor, and the price also rose wildly."

"In order to ensure the normal supply of grain during the drought, the county lord issued a rule that all the grain transported to Yangcheng cannot be sold privately, but can only be sold in Yangcheng's specialty stores."

"Specialty stores, on the other hand, will evaluate the value of the grain according to its quality and recycle it according to the normal market price."

"By the way, that store was established by the government and the Sun family."

When he said this, Gou Yu glanced at Li Dagui from the corner of his eye.

"It seems that since then, there has been a shortage of food in the market, and the number of people has suddenly decreased a lot."

Li Dagui was shocked when he heard this.

Is this the official price of fried grain?

They all cooperated with the Sun family, a rich man, and the possibility of monopolizing and frying grain is very high.

Out of curiosity, Li Dagui asked, "Will grain prices stabilize later?"

When Gou Yu heard this question, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "At the beginning, the price did stabilize.

"And it went down for a while."

"But it won't work later, the county lord's announcement said that it was because of the serious reduction in grain production."

"There is a shortage of food everywhere, and less and less food is being recycled, so prices have started to continue to rise."

"Now, although there are still food for sale in the specialty stores in the city, there are very few people who can afford it."

"Everybody's basically tightening their belts to get by."

When Li Dagui heard this, he had already made up his mind in his heart.

The lord of this county is a corrupt official.

Perhaps, the rise in food prices at the beginning of the drought was operated by him and his Sun family.

The aim is to paralyze the masses and make them embrace their new monopolistic policies.

After the new policy is introduced, the price will fall, and the people's voice will become higher and higher.

Then after a while, everyone is Xi to this food recycling system, and they can start to increase prices and accumulate wealth.

Presumably, under the influence of this policy, all the grain transported by other cities that were not affected by the drought was swallowed up by the Sun family.

High, really high.

Sure enough, in ancient times, when transportation was not developed, a government decree could monopolize an industry.

At the same time, Li Dagui also discovered how bad the world he is in now is.

Natural and man-made disasters are all in place.

Just yesterday, Li Dagui exterminated a group of robbers.

He believed that there were still many bandit groups active in this world.

And even if you can escape the pursuit of the bandits, you will be cut leeks in the city of corrupt officials.

The ordinary people of this world are really miserable.

However, even though Li Dagui has the idea of wanting to change the status quo in his heart, he does not have this kind of strength.

Li Dagui believes that at least he must have financial resources comparable to the Sun family, so that he can do something for the world.

And the quickest way to achieve this goal is to find a way to bring down the Sun family and replace it.

However, Li Dagui had just seen the tip of the iceberg of the Sun family's strength, and he was already so shocked.

It's easier said than done to replace it.

"It's still a long time, so let's develop lewdly first."

Li Dagui believes that there will be opportunities in the future.

"Did Uncle say anything?" Gou Yu had been waiting beside Li Dagui and heard him speak, but he didn't hear clearly.

As a professional dogleg, the dog can't miss a word.

"Well, it's nothing, I mean it's still early, I'll just take a walk by myself, you can go back."

When Li Dagui heard the sound of the dog, he remembered that the goods were still behind him.

He hurriedly drove him back.

After that, Li Dagui walked into the bazaar in the eyes of the dog who was reluctant to give up and turned back three times one step at a time.

......

This declining bazaar is the same as what Li Dagui saw on the periphery.

Indeed, there are very few people.

But Li Dagui walked in and found that there were a lot of things sold inside.

Except for food, you can see almost everything.

Pots and pans, tables, chairs, benches, hoes, sickles.

As long as it is an object that is used in daily life, it will basically appear on it.

And they all have one thing in common, that is, they are very dilapidated and old.

This may be because the people who still come to the market today want to sell their property in exchange for food.

That's why things are so old.

Li Dagui even felt that some of the things in it could be used.

Will anyone really buy it?

...

Then, Li Dagui found that in addition to these objects that can be used in life, there are other major types of things for sale.

That's people.

A living person.

From childhood to adulthood, there is everything.

Most of them were young children and women.

They were like old objects, laid out on rags.

Some are placed directly on them, while others are tied hand and foot and placed on them.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, the price is clearly marked.

From the cheapest copper coins to the most expensive strings of copper coins, you name it.

Li Dagui was very surprised when he saw this.

"Is it illegal to buy and sell human beings here?"
