Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 404: Burn City

"Everyone seems to know the news of the lack of food in the city..."

　　Hu Shinan leaned against the window sill of the restaurant, looking down at the Shidan grain shop across the street.

　　The crowd crowded in front of the store has blocked the street. There are both large households and ordinary people. Even if these people do not know the true inside story, the rise in food prices is a fact. As long as they are not people who have a large amount of surplus food at home, they will worry about what to do if they cannot buy food.

　　 Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that there are still people selling, even if the price is more expensive, you have to grit your teeth and buy some stuff. This is a normal idea for ordinary people.

　　 "As expected of an expert, you can see results immediately." Another young man sitting at the table raised his glass to him and said, "Mr. Hu, I toast you."

　　 "Where is this!" Hu Shinan laughed and walked back to the table to clink glasses with the youth. Although the other party was younger than him, he did not dare to put on airs in his age.

　　 only because this person is from the Privy Council.

　　 He calls himself a Pelican, and he is a sniffer.

　　Hu Shinan of course knows what a pelican is-it is a bird that is often seen on the banks of Jiangnan Lake. It is shaped like a goose but has a huge jaw and can swallow a fish that is larger than the neck in one bite. , Sometimes they catch pigeons, free-range chickens and other birds, which are ugly and greedy.

　　 "Actually...I didn't do anything." Hu Shinan politely said, "You provided the money, and you also provided the plan. I just helped with it and implemented it."

　　 "Mr. Hu, you are too polite." Pelican smiled disapprovingly, "There is no shortage of ideas in this world, but people who do practical things are missing. You are the president of Liuzhou Food Co., Ltd., knowledge, contacts, Channels are extraordinary, and these are the keys to making ideas come true."

　　 Speaking of this, Hu Shinan can't help but feel a little smug.

　　 Indeed, it is necessary to coordinate the grain merchants in Liuzhou and Gyeongju to reach an agreement, and at the same time, without a trace, let the grain shops in Shenju unanimously start raising prices. This is not a veteran who has been immersed in this industry for decades, absolutely It can't be so smooth.

　　 He worked for the Privy Council, and he also took a fancy to the benefits.

　　Once food prices in Shenzhou skyrocket, the first place to put out the fire must be the two neighboring states. In fact, the current double price is enough to make a small profit.

　　 But according to the meaning of the Pelican, the Privy Council is obviously not satisfied with this result.

　　 What they want is "the collapse of Shenzhou."

　　 In other words, it has to rise until someone can't afford food and die.

　　 How many times is that? ten times? Twenty times?

　　The reason why Hu Shinan became the leader of Liuzhou's grain business was due to the soaring grain prices caused by a flood more than ten years ago.

　　 Now this opportunity seems to be happening again.

　　 "But it's a shame to burn the food that I bought..." Hu Shinan tilted his head and looked into the distance-outside the rows of streets, gray-black smoke was tumbling and rising. That was the rice noodles purchased by the Privy Council burning. Whether it was coarse grains or flour, they were thrown into the fire pit without blinking.

　　 This is all money...

　　 Especially after the rise in food prices, Hu Shinan felt even more regretful.

　　 "Because we have no time to transport the grain back to Liuzhou. You should know better than me what is the key to the looting of grain." Pelican said unmoved.

　　 There is no doubt that the answer is "supply and demand gap."

　　"The gap on the market is not equal to the actual gap." He used chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork belly and put it in his mouth. "Put too much food on himself, but it is easy to become a guilty person. If so, why Doesn't it burn out?"

　　 Because that way, I won’t even stay back.

　　Hu Shinan opened his mouth, then closed the words back.

　　——All the merchants want is to make money, and the Privy Council’s goal on this point is not consistent with them.

　　 What they want to do is to sprinkle money into the water, rely on the power of a country to be born in Shenzhou to create a food shortage.

　　 I am afraid that the scale and influence of this famine will far exceed any previous natural disaster.

　　 "Dear folks, please don't panic! The General Government of Food Issues already knows that it will never make everyone hungry!" At this time, an uncoordinated voice came into the wing from the window.

　　 "Huh?" The two stood up and walked to the window—only a few men and women squeezed into the crowd and repeated these slogans. This action gradually attracted the attention of the masses.

　　The small book booth that 　　 book friends used before 　　 has gone down, now basically they are using MicMicReading\　.

　　 "Are they...?" Mr. Hu frowned.

　　"The Jinxia City Affairs Bureau is stationed in the White River City Branch," Pelican smiled, "It's a complicated name, right? You understand it as an independent government under the three princesses."

　　 "The government can only rely on shouting?" Hu Shinan was puzzled. He didn’t care much about Princess Guangping’s situation before, "And... Jinxia City is in the east of Shenzhou, right? How could they be aware of the situation here now?"

　　 "I guess they should be using the name of the General Bureau to build up their own momentum. Who made the branch just recently established." The Pelican waved, called a subordinate, and whispered a few words in his ear, "Go Do it."

　　 "Yes."

　　 After a while, someone mixed into the crowd and shouted at the people in the branch, "You lie, I came from Jinxia City! There is not enough food there, because the Princess has taken in overseas people. , There were hundreds of thousands more mouths!"

　　"Family folks, don't believe in these people's nonsense! There is so much food in total, and suddenly there are more than 100,000 people. How can we divide it?"

　　 These words were immediately echoed by some people.

　　 "I seem to have heard people say before that the refugees from Leizhou are indeed taken in by Jinxia."

　　 "Isn't the matter about overseas people...have been mentioned in the weekly report?"

　　 "How many people should there be in these two waves? There won't be hundreds of thousands, right?"

The people of the 　　 affairs branch obviously did not expect such a situation to happen, and they were a little stuck. "But the General Administration made it clear that there is no shortage of Jinxia—"

　　 "Of course there is no lack of the mouth! Otherwise, how can you bluff everyone?" Someone immediately interrupted him, "Guys, if you believe it, you will put your life in someone else's hands!"

　　 "I said...Did you guys have their conscience eaten by dogs? Never thought that if Jinxia is really short of food, you are killing people by doing this!"

　　 "Yes, it's murder!"

　　"Get out~IndoMTL.com~Murder!"

　　With the help of Pelican's men, the situation on the scene became chaotic. Faced with the suspicious eyes of everyone and the condemnation from time to time, several people in the affairs branch showed a trace of fear. They moved back, trying to get out of the crowd.

　　 At this time, Hu Shinan clearly saw a person walking around behind a woman in the chaos, and took out a dagger.

　　 may be just a collision in the crowd in the eyes of outsiders, but the woman from the office of the affairs branch slumped with her waist, her face pale.

　　 "It's...it's fatal!" someone exclaimed.

　　 There was an uproar at the scene, and the crowd quickly dispersed to the surroundings, leaving a blank space around the assassinated woman.

　　 Many people were crushed in the process, shouting, crying, and crying for help in an endless stream.

　　 The chaos can no longer be controlled.

The people in the 　　 office have no time to take care of the others. They hurriedly picked up the woman and left without even noticing that the other party’s shoes had fallen off.

　　Only a puddle of blood stained with muddy water remains on the ground.

　　The pelican raised his mouth slightly.

The 　　 affairs sub-bureau was stabbed to work, causing casualties, who should be accounted for? What is truly terrible is not lack of food or famine, but the hostility, fear, rejection, and doubt among people.

　　The human heart is the root of the turmoil.

　　 He has evoked wildfire in these people's hearts. As long as they are fueled, this fire will surely burn the city.
