In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

On the way back to the county town, Sun Ying rode on a horse. Although horses were very precious in the entire Dakun Empire, it was not surprising for Sun Ying to raise a horse based on his income. However, his younger brothers were not as comfortable as he was and could only follow his horse.

"Grandpa Sun, are we just going to let that kid go?" Wild Boar said unconvincedly. You know, he was locked up all night yesterday and his whole body was sore. And what he couldn't forget the most was that he was actually caught by a group of villagers.

"Since you are not as skilled as him, don't think about revenge! Don't underestimate the guy who caught you! Even if I replace you now, are you sure you can beat him! Listen carefully, no one is allowed to mention this matter again! I still have a use for that guy!" Sun Ying's face darkened at this time. His tone made all his brothers, including the wild boar, enter the cold pond.

"Boss, I get it!" Although the wild boar was a little unwilling, he had to agree.

"During this period of time, go and find out the grain prices at various grain shops in the county!" Sun Ying ordered at this time.

"Boss! Are we going to interfere with the grain business? The grain price changes every day, and we are really making a lot of money!" Wild Boar said happily. In this situation, both casinos and restaurants have seen a significant drop in business. Only grain stores, no matter how much they raise the price, have a lot of people buying every day.

Sun Ying nodded slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes. He knew that due to the wars and natural disasters in recent years, the food in the Great Kun Empire had become extremely scarce, and the price of food had naturally risen. As a gangster leader with some power in the county, he naturally did not want to miss this good opportunity to make money.

"That's right. You have to work harder during this period and go to various grain stores to find out their inventory and purchase channels. We have to find a suitable opportunity to get involved." Sun Ying's lips curled up with a smug smile, as if he had already seen his future of making a lot of money.

When Wild Boar and the others heard this, they were immediately inspired and expressed their willingness to follow Sun Ying's arrangements and carry out this mission. They knew that if they followed Sun Ying, as long as they were obedient, they would make money and have food to eat.

When they returned to the county, Sun Ying asked Ye Zhu and others to split up and go to get information about the grain store. He returned to his own territory and began to think about the next plan.

He knew that it was not so easy to get involved in the grain business. He needed to have sufficient funds and a stable supply channel. Moreover, this business was very complicated and he could fall into trouble if he was not careful.

The most important thing is that the biggest grain merchant in Xishan County is Chen Jun, the son of Chen County Magistrate! He must find a way to contact Chen Jun. Even if he gives up a little of his casino business now, as long as he can get involved in the grain business, it is worth it. He really thinks that what Lin Kunlun said makes sense. No matter how the situation changes, he has food in his hands and is guaranteed. Even if there is really a day when the world is in chaos, with food, he can also raise a team. Even if he can't be made a marquis or a prime minister, he can at least occupy the mountain and be the king.

Although Chen Jun had connections with the county government, Sun Ying still had confidence in his brain and skills. He believed that as long as he was careful and cautious, he would be able to get a share of the pie in this business.

……

Lin Kunlun didn't know how Sun Ying was doing, but he didn't care. The next morning, he took Lin Da and Lin Er to the county town. Buying food was secondary this time. The main thing was to see what the county town in this world looked like. He also wanted to get some information. To see if the court would really levy taxes? And what were the reactions of the people in the county town? After all, the people in the county town were much more informed than them.

This 50-mile journey was indeed a huge burden for Lin Kunlun. Although his body was still strong, they had to stop and go along the way.

"Big brother! Second brother! Have you ever been to the county town before?" After all, Lin Kunlun had lost a lot of his memories. He might still remember about himself, but he really didn't remember much about his family. So he wanted to find out about the situation in the county town.

"I've only been there once! That time I went with the village chief to escort tax grain to be paid! We went there with several villages around!" Lin Da thought for a moment and answered.

"I've only been there once, but I was still young at that time and went with my father. I don't remember anything now! I just remember that the streets there are much wider than those in our town." Lin Er scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Lin Kunlun nodded, and understood. It seemed that the three brothers didn't know much about the county town, and this trip to the county town was indeed a rare opportunity.

The three chatted along the way and had walked most of the way without realizing it. Lin Kunlun found that the county town in this world was somewhat similar to the ancient county town in his memory, but there were also many differences. Although the road was also a dirt road, there were already many shops and vendors on both sides. People were wearing simple clothes and were busy traveling in the streets and alleys.

However, unlike what he imagined, this county town did not look very big. It was surrounded by a two-meter-high wall.

The two soldiers guarding the gate were leaning against the city wall basking in the sun, and had no intention of interfering with Lin Kunlun and his men entering.

'It seems that the Dakun Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time and its military preparations have been relaxed! A glimpse of the whole picture! In a county town, the guards of the city gate are all these untrained old, weak and sick people! I am afraid that the counties in the entire west and even the entire Dakun Dynasty are similar. If a real chaos occurs, they will not be able to stabilize the situation! It seems that I really need to prepare early! The most important thing now is food. With enough food, we can raise a group of troops to protect ourselves! 'Lin Kunlun walked while observing the surrounding situation. Xishan County is obviously a very small county town. Except for a main street, the surrounding alleys are still dirt roads.

Maybe it was because of the drought. There weren't many people in the county. Those who occasionally walked on the road looked listless. It was obviously because of the lack of food and hunger.

Even the people who set up stalls didn't buy vegetables, grains, or snacks. They usually bought needles, thread, or earthenware jars. These things were still bought by people in normal times, but now everyone had to fill their stomachs first. They didn't buy other things if they could.

"Brother, look over there, is that a grain shop?" Lin Er suddenly pointed to a shop in front with a plaque that read "Chen's Grain Shop" and said.

Lin Kunlun looked up and saw people coming and going in front of the store, obviously doing good business. He decided to go and find out the price of grain first.

The three of them walked into the grain store and saw that it was filled with all kinds of grains, including rice, noodles, and grains. A shopkeeper in silk clothes was counting the bills behind the counter. When he saw them come in, he greeted them warmly, "Three guests, what grains do you need to buy?"

Lin Kunlun walked forward, bowed and asked, "Boss, we want to buy some food. What is the current price of food?"

The shopkeeper looked at them carefully. Although the three of them were dressed very simply! Even Ling Kunlun was only wearing a relatively new linen shirt, but the tone and movements of Lin Kunlun's speech were not like those of an ordinary villager! He smiled and said, "You asked the right question. The price of grain changes every day. However, the grains in our Chenji Grain Shop are of the best quality and the price is fair. How much do you want?"

Lin Kunlun's heart moved, and he asked, "Boss, I heard that the court is going to levy taxes. Will the price of grain go up again?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Sir, to be honest, the price of grain may indeed rise again. The imperial court wants to levy taxes, and we small businesses can only raise prices accordingly. But don't worry, the quality of our grain is absolutely guaranteed, and the price will not rise randomly."

Lin Kunlun nodded, already making up his mind, and he carefully inquired about the prices of various grains.

"Boss! How about this, let's order some sorghum flour first! Also, please prepare some rice for us! Let's go to the county town to buy some other things first, and come back to get them later!" Lin Kunlun thought for a while. He still had to go to other places in the county town to get some information. He also wanted to take his two brothers out for dinner. After all, it was impossible to come to the county town hungry.

"Sure! Please help yourself, sir!" The shopkeeper nodded. He had no worries about selling his grain! It didn't matter whether Lin Kunlun came or not. A shopkeeper like him who was doing business would never offend anyone unintentionally.
