Power and Empire Chapter 397: Savior (1)

"My lord, in fact, Kristall’s problem is ultimately due to the food." Stewart got up from the ground with an expression of trepidation and whispered in the fat man’s ear.

"For unknown reasons, none of the seeds sown in the Crest area this spring have a bud.

After a long time, no one will take care of it. Some people say that this is the will of the gods, and it is to punish these proud Klesdo people."

"This thing is so weird, I also sent someone to investigate it,

This is the situation in most of the fertile fields close to the city of Cristobal. In some places, even if the wheat seedlings grow, there are no ears.

In another month, the wheat will be reclaimed. Last year’s grain in the city has been emptied.

"I really don't know what to do now. This year may be the biggest year of famine in Crest's history." There was a little worry on Stuhan's face.

He is mainly responsible for assisting the old duke in dealing with affairs, so he naturally understands the situation of Cristol more clearly

"Oh. There is such a strange thing!" The fat man was shocked when he heard it. He seemed to think of something. After a long silence, he continued, "Tell me what you know. The death of the Grand Duke What is the relationship between Cristo’s riots and food?

"In fact, it is like this. Cristo will be like this. The serious lack of food and the unreasonable business are important reasons.

There is no way to survive without food, and the barren scene outside the city makes the whole city panic,

Despite the serious loss of population in Crest, there are still nearly 100,000 people, and they consume millions of food every day.

The empty grain storehouse keeps the food prices in the whole city changing three times a day,

In addition to the malicious hoarding of some families who control grain, the price of grain has already been ten times the price of grain outside the country.

Because the old duke took measures to suppress the soaring food prices and offended the upstarts in the city who controlled the smuggling channels, he was left in such an isolated situation.

Although it was not a conspiracy assassination, there is already evidence that,

It is these new forces that have recently emerged from Kristol, who privately closed off the external sales channels of grain, resulting in a large-scale grain shortage and commotion throughout the city.

The order that had settled down was once again severely damaged,

At that time, the adults were commanding and fighting in the west, and the garrison stationed on the outskirts of Crest was also transferred to the northern front.

Without the suppression of the garrison, the situation in the entire region was completely out of control under the instigation of some aristocrats with ulterior motives.

The riots rapidly expanded and turned into turmoil, and the entire city was out of control.

Those families in charge of food even took the opportunity to delineate their own power areas in the city, and ignored the old duke’s orders,

Seeing that all his efforts were wasted, the old duke was so anxious and anxious that he died suddenly! "

"So that's it." The fat man listened quietly, feeling that the origin of this incident really needs to be traced, and that he is the culprit.

If it weren’t for me, order Lidastorv to sell the steamed seeds to the royal family of Kyoto, and maybe there would be no such disaster now,

The Goddess of Destiny seems to have made a joke with herself, and the bitter fruit she originally planted finally fell on her head.

What's all this!

Picking up a rock and hitting myself in the foot!

The fat man felt uncomfortable in his heart, and felt bitter in the corners of his mouth.

"My lord! If there is no food, most people in the city have to wait to starve to death besides choosing to leave!..."Situ Han seems to have something to say, his eyes filled with hesitation.

The fat man waved his hand to him and calmed down, "Don’t worry, food is not a problem. Although a lot of stocks have been consumed in several battles this year, the food from the southern grain-producing areas will be shipped soon. One month is the harvest season. This year’s weather and moisture are sufficient. I believe that the yield of wheat will increase. In addition, the grain in the northern Kudan area should be enough to deal with these problems."

"This is great! As long as the food problem is solved, Cristo’s order should be settled quickly." When Stuhan heard that the fat man was willing to adjust the food to Cristo, his expression of joy could not be concealed.

He was in good spirits through the fat man, and said boldly, "My lord, in fact, this incident is not all Cress's fault!

If it’s not for food,

They won't do such a crazy thing!

I hope that the adults will not vent their anger on these poor people." Stuhan glanced at the fat man with a worried expression, his tone was obviously a little bit like Clay's interpersonal plea,

"Well? This is not your style!"

The fat man was taken aback by these words, and his sharp eyes stared at Stuhan's scalp like a knife.

"My lord! You may have forgotten that your subordinates are also from Cristo, although they were expelled from Cristo in the early years, but my father and family are still here"! Si Duhan explained with embarrassment,

Si Duhan knows that the most taboo of fat people is that others interfere with their own decisions.

But this time it is about the lives of more than 100,000 people in Kleis, and Stuhan, who was born in Kleis, can't care about these.

"I forgot about it!" The fat man nodded suddenly, while Situ Han was in Jivadin. It is the business agent of the Kyoto Shidu family in the south,

"It makes sense to say what I said just now as a clesman!"

"Don't worry, as long as Alan Stein is okay, I don't want to involve too many people in this matter!" After understanding the general process, the fat man has a more detailed understanding of the whole situation.

This is a typical economic crisis caused by the bankruptcy of the agricultural economy. If food can solve this problem, you don’t need to use force.

After all, Cristo is now his own territory. Excessive use of force to suppress it will only make the situation difficult to deal with

No one likes to get a city full of corpses and blood

Financial problems,

Or use economic means to solve it

But before that, the fat man felt that he should teach the so-called upstarts a lesson, tell them,

Who is the master here,

"My lord is really a model of kindness! Your gift is like the rushing Satsuma Lie! Your subordinates are here on behalf of the 100,000 citizens of Cristo and thank you to the representatives of the adults!"

Si Duhan heard the fat man promise not to involve too many people, and finally let go of the original thought.

The fat man looked at the Stuhan in front of him, and felt that as a Kyoto native, and possibly as the administrator of Samer in Kyoto, there are some things that Stuhan should know better!

The fat man suddenly took out a paper from his arms and handed it to Si Duhan, speaking with a heart and soul

"You have stayed in Cristo for the longest time, and believe that you have the most power to speak about Cristo’s affairs. I have decided that you will be solely responsible for the rectification of Cristo’s affairs for the time being. This is a top-secret document. What do you think of the above names need to be removed!"

"Well? This is?" Si Duhan took the list hesitantly, opened it curiously, his face suddenly turned pale,

The entire volume is filled with densely packed names, involving at least a thousand people, almost covering all the upstart families in the city of Crest!

This is a list that is about to be cleaned up!

Situ Han shook his hand while holding the list, and the big beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down his cheeks,

At this moment,

Stuhan feels that the fate of the entire Cristotown is weighing on him. As long as one of his heads nods or shakes his head, Cristo will have thousands of heads falling to the ground!

Si Duhan knows that Fatty is not a soft-handed person, although occasionally he seems to be kind and generous,

But at a critical juncture, it's cold-blooded.

The fat man became angry, and it is absolutely possible that the corpse is full of the city.

For the fat man’s iron-and-blood method, the person who witnessed the Wading murder that day, Stuhan knew very well,

Thinking of the embarrassing **** night of Riwadin, Stuhan still has lingering fears,

For the sake of a woman named Kulundi Enya, the fat man did not hesitate to use iron and blood to carry out a brutal cleansing of the underground forces of Zivadin.

Thousands of people were secretly executed on the side of the rushing Satsuma Li River,

People's heads piled up on the river bank to form a hill, and the bright red blood stained the rushing river red.

I am passing by that embankment now,

You can also see the dried-up blood stains from the crevices of the dam stones,

And what happened to Claes this time is so similar to that of Zivadin at that time,

Also for a woman,

It’s also an underground force.

The only thing that is lucky is that the girl named Ellen Stein is fine,

Otherwise, what the fat guy did in Jivadin will surely be performed again in Crest,

In order to obtain food, the major forces have drawn lines and ruled in the city and separated their respective jurisdictions in order to obtain food.

If the fat man really wants to be investigated, there are more than tens of thousands of people involved,

Once the suppression order is issued, thousands of Samor troops who follow the fat man south will swarm in.

War knives are like blood,

The spear of the Samor army is not something that the family forces in the city can contend with

At that time,

Without thousands of heads falling to the ground, the Samor army will never give up,

At that time, Cristo, my hometown!

I'm afraid it will really become a disaster city

No, I must never let this happen!

Thinking of this, there was a slight throbbing on Si Duhan’s face, and he took a closer look at the list in his hand, and quickly removed most of the families from the list with the quill on the table.

Only a few notorious families are left. These families do everything for power in the city, assassinating, kidnapping, and even forming a band of thieves to rob and kill.

Many upstart families are also full of contempt for these unscrupulous families!

"Haha!, I hope your decision is correct!" The fat man took the list from Situ Han and put it on the table without looking at it.

Situ Han breathed a sigh of relief, even though he knew that Fatty was a person who did what he said,

But thinking of the list that was almost completely crossed out by himself, Stuhan was still full of fear in his heart,

Let’s stop here tonight. Since you are more familiar with the situation in the city, come with me tomorrow! "

The fat man saw Situ Han's expression in a trance,

I thought he was overly nervous, waved to him, and let Stuhan go down to rest,

After Si Duhan left, the fat man did not open the list pressed on the table, but fell into deep thought.

For this once glorious Kyoto, the fat man looked at the black sky outside with a complicated mood.

The once brightly lit city wall of Cristol, like a giant beast lurking in the dark, can only see segments of giant black shadows

Because the manor is near the lake, the wind blowing in is mixed with moist water vapor,

A burst of white water vapor covered the lake surface like a thin layer of sand,

A dark ink in the sky,

In the middle of the night, the moon struggled from inside to show half of its face,

The bright moonlight shot out from the dark clouds, illuminating a section of the ruined city wall not far away,

This was once the place where Samer and the Kyoto army fought, but now it is overgrown with chrysanthemum and weeds, swaying in the wind in the dark night!

"Tomorrow, or all of this should be over!" The fat man whispered to himself, with a firm expression looking away from a distance, handing over the list on the table to the guard at the door, and exhorting

"Give this to Hu Keqili right away! This is the final list. I will execute it tomorrow!"

"Yes, Grand Duke!" The guard took the list respectfully, and disappeared into the night quickly

"Stuhan, since you have chosen to be Cristo’s savior, I hope you can complete the unfinished business of the old duke" The fat man looked at the disappearing figure of the guard and whispered in his heart

Actually, the fat man knew that Stuhan must have crossed out most of the families.

Although there must be a family related to the death of the old duke,

But the fat man doesn't want to pursue his boldness! On the contrary, I feel a little admiration for Stuhan’s final decision,

This timid Kleisman, at the last moment,

Use your own future and life to gamble a glimmer of light and hope for this disaster-ridden city

Crest in the morning mist, the sky to the east is only slightly white,

The gray-white fog covered the sky, and the stars still gleamed in the eastern sky,

However, a black cloud appeared on the horizon. Tens of thousands of Samor troops, all in black armor, were divided into ten teams and flooded into Clysdor according to the original plan.

"How many people are there in Crest now?" The fat man lowered the curtain of the carriage in his hand, a haze flashed across his face,

He now has a more practical understanding of Cristo’s dilemma,

The wheat fields outside the city are already covered with waist-high weeds. The broken roof is full of vegetation, which seems to be bent down under heavy pressure.

Despite the rumbling of thousands of heavy horses on the ground, there is still no peasant appearing,

Under the dead and heavy sky~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that the entire space is gray and white, and there is no sign of life

It seems that Crest’s situation is far more serious than I thought!

"There are still about 100,000 people, and they are mainly concentrated in the southern and western neighborhoods! Opposite him sat Stuhan who was accompanying him, with red eyes reporting to him,

Today is Cristo’s final judgment day! Kristol prayed secretly in his heart,

Even though I crossed out most of the families yesterday, Stuhan still couldn’t sleep all night.

Can the disaster-ridden Kristol escape this catastrophe! Si Duhan also has no bottom in his heart,

Everything in everything

I see the mood of the young fat man in front of me

The frustrated Stuhan is exactly like a prisoner awaiting trial at this moment!
