"Brother Jiang Fan, the Yamen is so boring, and nothing interesting has happened. When everyone sees you, they are filled with smiles respectfully, as if they are afraid that you will devour them alive. Is that all the officials of Dazhou?"


    In the evening, at the end of the day''s duty, Jiang Fan led Lin Wanqing and tie Niu out of the yamen, when he heard Lin Wanqing pouting and complaining.


    "That''s because I''m in a high position. No one in the whole yamen is bigger than me except the city guard. In addition, everyone thinks that there is a huge thing like King Wu''s residence behind me. Of course, they dare not make any mistakes. If I just join the Yamen as an ordinary yamen servant, it''s estimated that you will see completely different faces all day today."


    Jiang Fan shook his head and then said, "this officialdom is like a monkey climbing a tree. When you look down, they are all smiling faces, but when you look up, they are all buttocks. Therefore, power has an irresistible charm. As long as you enter it, you will climb up involuntarily and hard."


    This is a classic description of officialdom in another world, which people in this world have never heard of.


    Therefore, after Lin Wanqing tilted his head and thought about it, he felt that Jiang Fan''s description was so accurate that his words were penetrating.


    "Forget it, I''d better just let the iron bull follow you in the future. I don''t want to come any more. It''s a waste of time. It''s better to stay at home and practice with my sister. Maybe I''ve broken through now."


    Lin Wanqing still pouted and said.


    "Who makes you have to follow me? Officialdom has officialdom rules. Although I don''t understand them, at least I know that the relationship on the surface must be maintained. Even if you want the other party to die in your heart, you always have to live in face when you have no choice but to do so. They say officialdom is an art. In fact, in the final analysis, it just depends on who has the thick face and black hands."


    Jiang Fan said casually.


    He has no interest in officialdom.


    Just being pushed to this job, he can''t refuse or shrink back.


    Many things are like this. When you reach a certain stage, you will find that you have actually lost your way, either become stronger and become stronger forever, or face death.


    If you want to stay where you are and live a stable life, it will never exist.


    Lin Wanqing nodded his head.


    On the way back to the house, the three of them chose several shops to browse. Lin Wanqing was mainly interested in all kinds of novel gadgets and bought a lot of gadgets, which were carried by the iron ox.


    Jiang fan is to observe the changes in prices, especially the rise in grain prices.


    The result... Is not optimistic!


    Compared with the price of buying grain in order to solve the grain problem of the Lin family, the current grain price has increased by almost a quarter.


    How many days altogether?


    Such a rapid rise means that there is a shortage of food supply in Heyang city itself.


    In other words, the impact of long-term drought is gradually expanding.


    Therefore, the price of grain transported from other regions to Heyang is also rising steadily, which leads to the change of grain price in Heyang city almost every day.


    If things go on like this... I''m afraid it won''t take too long to get into big trouble


    On the way back to the house, Jiang Fan frowned and thought.


    Lin Wanqing didn''t realize what would happen in the near future. She was excited about the new gadgets she bought.


    Iron bull also kept silent and paid attention to Jiang Fan all the time.


    No matter there is any abnormal movement near Jiang Fan, iron bull can ensure that he can stop Jiang Fan from danger at the first time.


    This absolute sense of security makes Jiang Fan very relaxed physically and mentally, so his brain is used to think about the food crisis.


    When he first came to the foreign world, he was only thinking about how to help the Lin family solve the food problem.


    After all, there were only a few hundred people. The problem was not big, so it didn''t take a few days to earn enough money to buy food.


    But the trouble now is that if the drought continues, and is no longer a regional drought, but develops into a national drought in the Zhou Dynasty, the consequences are likely that you have money and can''t buy food!


    Now the food price has risen to the critical point that ordinary people will not be able to bear.


    According to such a growth rate, I''m afraid the ordinary people in Heyang city will face the risk of food shortage in less than a month.


    And even if the food price can be stable at this high level, the ordinary people in Heyang city can''t support it for too long.


    According to Jiang Fan''s own understanding, if all income and property are used to buy food, it is obvious that for a normal family, the ability to resist risks will drop to the freezing point!


    Once there is any minor accident, it may cause the originally stable family to collapse directly.


    The limitation of farming society also makes the overall pressure resistance of society very low.


    Jiang Fan doubted that if the drought continued, many people could not even eat, so the Zhou Dynasty might usher in a common peasant uprising in the farming society.


    At that time, Zhumen''s description of smelly wine and meat and frozen bones on the road will become a real reality.


    But... In the face of drought, there is no man-made way to change the farming society.


    The most serious problem for Jiang fan is that he has been familiar with processes and departments in the Yamen all day today. Through simple communication with the officials and clerks in the yamen, Jiang Fan found that no one really cares about the trouble caused by the food crisis in the whole government of Heyang city.


    At first, Jiang Fan thought he thought too much. Perhaps the food shortage caused by the drought was not as exaggerated as he thought.


    But the change in grain prices seen on the way back to the house after leaving his post made Jiang Fan realize that he wanted to fork over before.


    The reason why the officials and scribes in the government didn''t really pay attention to it was entirely because no matter how short the food was, it couldn''t affect them at all!


    As for whether the people are dead or alive... What''s their business?


    Jiang Fan, who had figured this out, returned to the house with a heavy heart.


    Just as I entered the house, I was suddenly filled with Su xiaonuan''s shiny big bald head.


    "Young master! You''re back! Hurry back with me. It''s different from what you said."


    Seeing Jiang Fan back to the house, Su xiaonuan jumped up directly and shouted anxiously.


    "Go back and see what? What''s different from what I said?"


    Jiang Fan asked in amazement.


    "Wine! The wine you wanted to ferment before, they are all ready!"
