Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 403: Wildfire
The information sifted out afterwards is much more scattered.
For example, Jinxia City is pursuing an education system that does not require money, the host of the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering is the original Gyeonggi official, and there are new ships visiting the harbor, and the Bureau of General Affairs is in charge of people’s clothing, food, housing, life, old age, sickness and death... These can more or less have something to do with Xia Fan.
can a listener really bring such a huge change to Yancheng?
Finian is really suspicious of this.
He has consulted the records of the recording department, and there were listeners in the headquarters, or in the most prosperous era of the Yong Dynasty, there were one or two listeners every year. They may be talented or powerful. Pi, perhaps mastered the amazing secrets and eventually became rich overnight, but these brilliance and changes belong only to the listener. No one has ever been able to change the city where he is like Xia Fan.
The Privy Council's judgment on its listeners...is it too sloppy?
Recalling carefully, as early as when he contacted Xia Fan in Qingshan Town, he already had signs that were different from ordinary people.
Feinen sighed and put these distracting thoughts behind him.
It is meaningless to think about this now. The information in front of you is very important. It must be sent back to Gyeonggi as soon as possible to let His Royal Highness and Heer know.
Whether it is the infiltration of the Western extreme forces or the large-scale appearance of demon, it is the last thing Seven Stars want to see. This time the second prince is probably unable to deliberately leave the three princes dead as they did with the eldest brother.
Finian is now more fortunate that the Privy Council did not immediately encircle Jinxia City after the snow period is over. The Xuzhou Black Cavaliers led by Qingjian and an army of 20,000 to 30,000 may be able to easily deal with the magic family. But in the face of Jin Xia who possesses Ssangyong and Nine Heavenly Thunder Envoy, I am afraid that nothing can be gained. Once the battle situation has reached a stalemate, it will inevitably be a head-on blow to the Tianshu regime that is establishing a new order. Not only will the local forces be ready to move, but the Seven Stars will also question the ability of the Tianshu Envoy.
This war must be devastated and a final word!
Sending spies to weaken the opponent’s power is the right choice.
After all, the changes in Jinxia are incredible. Residents also need to eat and a stable political situation. When these no longer exist, no matter how powerful the alchemist is, it will not help.
And this is where the new regime is most prone to problems.
Finian put down the information and looked up in the direction of Jinxia City-The Privy Council has undoubtedly encountered a real challenge this time. As for how much it will cost to get past it, it probably depends on these things done before the war began. Up.
……
Jinxia, in the office compound.
The Ministry of Food is preparing a new round of import plans.
Now all departments know that the fleet of Equestria’s visiting fleet has dragged two million taels of silver to Jinxia City. In addition, Xia Fan never encourages saving money, so that everyone has more courage to make plans than before. It's a lot bigger.
Wei Wushuang is no exception.
Now that Shenzhou is under the command of the princess, the food consumption plan should also be arranged by state. Since the affairs branch has not yet been able to control everything like the Jinxia General Administration, and monopolizing grain marketing requires a certain amount of time, he intends to first let the branch investigate the grain reserves of various cities and towns, and the import offers are directed to Liuzhou, Gyeongju and Yazhou. Land, use grain from other states to ensure the supply of Shenzhou.
According to Brother Xia, it is the natural duty of the Ministry of Grain to work to avoid hunger.
A qualified chief officer of the Food Department should make no one starved to death in the area under his management.
Whenever he thinks of this sentence, a raging flame rushes into Wei Wushuang's heart.
He used to be just the second young master of an ordinary merchant. Even if he could inherit the family business, he would just continue to collect grain and sell grain. But now, what he is doing is to help the world. Is there anything more meaningful than this!
Besides, the funding is not considered by the Ministry of Food.
Just as he was struggling to write, Wei Yan opened the door and walked into the office study.
"Father, are you here?" Wei Wushuang immediately put down his pen and got up to greet him.
Although he is the chief officer of the grain department, and the other party is just a specially appointed "staff", who made this assistant be his father?
, it’s a good idea. It’s worth installing. After all, you can cache books and read them offline!
"You sit. An official must look like an official. You are not at home, but in officialdom!" Wei Yan glared with a beard.
"Oh." Wei Wushuang sat down honestly, slandering that Brother Xia didn't care about this, "What are you doing here?"
"The price of food has risen." Father Wei threw a stack of lists on the desk. "Moreover, all channels are increasing. Some grain shops have even closed their doors behind closed doors."
"What? This time?" Wei Wushuang was taken aback, "...no reason?"
He picked up the list and glanced at it. The replies above were all from the collaborators that Dawanliang had accumulated over the past few decades. Among them, there were both downstream counterparts and upstream large-scale landlords, as well as the two cities of Anshen and Baihe. The price increase is the most obvious.
Food fluctuations often occur in disaster years or periods of turmoil, but the weather last year has been smooth and the locust plague has not spread to Qiguo, so there is no reason for a full price increase.
It’s nothing more than a small increase. Not only does the price on the list go up, the suspension of business is a very bad omen.
That doesn't mean that the grain shop has no grain, but that I want to wait until the price has risen to a certain level before letting go.
This practice will inevitably cause many people to fall into trouble because they cannot afford food.
"What happened to the northwest?"
" I asked someone~ IndoMTL.com~ Wei Yan picked up the teapot on the table, "Wait, you have no tea here? "
"Father——!"
"Yes, it looks a little bit." He nodded in satisfaction, "The answer is that nothing happened, but that there has been a sudden increase in food purchases in the past week. I synthesized the situation of each family and concluded that it is Except for Kai Jinxia City, the grain trade in other places has entered the peak season ahead of schedule."
"This is not a naturally occurring peak season." Wei Wushuang resolutely said that the peak season is determined by people's purchasing habits and solar terms. Abnormality means that someone is deliberately operating it, and the question is who is driving it all. "Father, please ask me about the situation in Liuzhou and Gyeongju, and see how foreign grain merchants react to this."
"How about you?"
"Notify the affairs branch of Anshen and Baisha, and let them find out where the food sold has gone." Wei Wushuang replied, "This matter also needs to be notified to Brother Xia."
The senior executives of the bureau know that Jinxia has completely fallen out with the Privy Council of Gyeonggi, and the contradiction between the two sides is almost irreconcilable. Coupled with the end of the snow season, any changes in Shenzhou at this time must not be taken lightly.
In the evening, a telegram was sent back from the Baihe City branch.
"Local food prices have doubled in normal days, and there have been rumors of Jinxia grain shortages, claiming that it was our large-scale purchase of stored grain that caused shortages in surrounding towns. In addition to the open grain shops, people have already appeared. The situation of panic buying. The food sold out has been found to be resold again, and it is no longer possible to trace the source."
