Rise From Doomsday Chapter 142: , food crisis
Walking out of the Xinglong Military Academy, Liu Wei’an’s excitement slowly receded, replaced by some worries, whether it’s from a humble school or weird students, as well as unreliable teachers, everything I saw and heard Give him an awkward feeling. Don’t just enter a liar university. Liu Wei’an sighed slightly. If he just scammed money, it’s fine. His current worth is not bad for the tuition. The key is him. All dreams are cast in it. When a very difficult thing is expected to be solved suddenly and easily, there will be some troubles and losses.
I hope tomorrow will not be too disappointing.
Successfully entered the university, I should have celebrated, but now I don’t have this thought, I took a taxi and went straight back home. When I opened the door, there were people at home. Xu Ying, Zhou Jie, and Zhang Yan were all there. It was a surprise to see Liu Wei'an. It was during the day and not on weekends. This is rare.
"Liu Wei'an, where have you been?" Zhang Yan's mouth was the fastest.
"Liu Wei'an, why haven't you been out of work lately?" Xu Ying looked at Liu Wei'an, but she knew that he was a gamer and didn't go out during the day.
"Uh...something has been dealt with for a while." Liu Wei'an was taken aback for a moment, and didn't say anything about entering the university. If Xu Ying was alone, he would say, but not too close to Zhou Jie and Zhang Yan. I don’t want to talk too much if I’m familiar. But I’m wondering if the two girls don’t have to go to work, do they go on strike? There is also Zhou Jie, who is driven into the game every day by Zhang Yan to make money like ducks. They are also there. Do you want to hold a family meeting?
"The company's office is undergoing renovation, so it is off for three days." Xu Ying seemed to see the doubt in Liu Wei'an's eyes, and pointed to the sofa and said: "You just come back, sit down and chat."
Liu Wei'an changed a pair of slippers and sat beside Xu Ying. The weather was too hot, unless it was compelling to wear shoes, and it would be a crime to come back wearing shoes.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's the Dragon Boat Festival soon, we are discussing how to play, Liu Wei'an, what suggestions do you have?" Zhang Yan looked at Liu Wei'an, her peach-like eyes gleaming, she still had a good impression of Liu Wei'an of. Zhou Jie pouted his lips, and seemed to disagree with Liu Wei'an's joining.
Dragon Boat Festival? Liu Wei'an was once again taken aback. This seems to be a very distant festival. It seems that the Dragon Boat Festival is to eat rice dumplings. It is a festival set up to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan's jump in the river, but , Because of the end of the war, this festival has been repeatedly interrupted. With the improvement of living standards, this ancient festival has been turned up again, but because of the polarization of the wealth gap between the rich and the poor in the Han Dynasty, the poor even have food and clothing. The question is, I didn’t think about any festivals. In the past, there is only the Spring Festival that is integrated into the bones. Other festivals are matters of the nobles.
Eating, drinking and having fun, don't spend money either. When Zhou Yan, who has always been frugal, becomes generous, Liu Wei'an is a little puzzled, but when he thinks of Dragon Boat Festival, he is also a little excited.
"Buy zong leaves to wrap zongzi and eat."
"What kind of advice is this, don't you need money for the rice dumplings?" Zhou Jie objected immediately.
"If I pay, will you make rice dumplings?" Liu Weian glanced at Xu Ying, who was agitated. He was a little strange. She is not such a stingy person. Her eyes are slightly narrowed, and Xu Ying wears them at home. She has always been more casual, with a small strapless shirt on the top and a floral skirt underneath. The round and white shoulders are like white jade, and the eyes and teeth are still so beautiful. However, between the eyebrows, it seems that there is a trace that is not easily detectable. Worry.
"Atmosphere! However, Liu Wei'an, zongye, glutinous rice and the like are not cheap, are you sure you want to pay?" Zhang Yan said half-jokingly.
"Let's go together." Xu Ying interjected.
"It’s okay. Since it’s an event, it’s definitely a matter of having money to contribute, and making a strong contribution. I don’t know how to wrap rice dumplings, so I have to pay. Don’t be polite, everyone is so familiar. It’s the same for everyone. Just be happy. Okay." Liu Weian smiled, not caring.
"Okay, this time it is Liu Weian. We will be the husband and wife for the next event." Zhou Jie rushed in front of Xu Ying and made a happily decision. Zhang Yan quickly turned on the tablet.
Nowadays, shopping mainly focuses on online shopping.
Looking at the items in the mall, Liu Weian understood the meaning of Zhang Yan’s not cheap. Zong leaves, 16 copper plates, 300 copper plates per jin of glutinous rice, red dates, peanuts, black beans, chestnuts, etc., basically count. One hundred copper plates per catty, of which lotus seeds are the most expensive, 1800 copper plates per catty. These can be used as fillings for zongzi, and there are some dried fruits needed for the holidays, such as pistachios, almonds, walnuts, and nuts. The price is basically above 3,000 copper plates, which is scary. This kind of price, if it is placed in a slave area, it is something that you can't even think about.
"Why did the price increase again?" Zhang Yan said with Zou Mei, "Yesterday I saw glutinous rice only 296 copper plates per catty, and chestnuts. I remember yesterday it was 265 copper plates per catty, but now it has risen to 270 copper plates per catty. I can’t get past it. Prices are getting higher and higher, and I guess I won’t even be able to eat buns by then."
Four people, buy the amount of twelve or three zongzi per person, and the material for about fifty zongzi, about five thousand copper plates. Add some snacks, a checkout, 12653 copper plates.
"I heard from my friends that it seems that the recent grain harvest has failed, floods or droughts occurred, and where is the fowl plague, that's why the price of food has risen." Zhou Jie said.
Liu Wei'an gave Xu Ying a thoughtful look. It seems that when Zhou Jie talked about'chicken plague', her expression changed a little, and she looked at the tablet, although she only glanced at the items on it. The prices are all written down. Compared with the previous, although it can not be said that it has doubled, the prices have been greatly increased. Judging from the fact that Mars has always had food shortages, the news that Zhou Jie said was not groundless.
Thinking of this, I can’t help but feel a little worried. Xinfeng City does not need to worry about the food crisis, it will not be a crisis to the city. As long as you have money, you will definitely not die from starvation. The army usually stores enough food for the city for one or two years. What worries about is the slave area, the inheritance he has worked so hard to create, don't be starved to death just after getting better, then it will be wronged.
During this period, Times Square and Liu Wei'an basically maintained a call every two days to ensure that Liu Wei'an can keep track of the developments of Times Square. With a large amount of human and material investment, Times Square has entered an era of rapid development, and it is not an exaggeration to describe changes with each passing day.
Times Square is currently doing two things. One thing is an underground castle. Why do you want to build an underground castle? This is no way. The country will not allow large-scale organizations to exist independently, even if they are just a few slaves. There is no organization or discipline, and the state does not matter, but once it is controlled by others, it will definitely be ruthlessly attacked by the state. Today, Times Square controls about 30,000 slave cores and 30,000 outside slaves, a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses. In the slave area with hundreds of thousands of actions, it is not eye-catching, but the fact that there are few people now does not mean that it will not recruit people in the future. Precautions are necessary, and underground castles can be used to hide the number of people.
This is a security consideration.
The second thing is to build a road, build a road to the Mayan Empire, the garbage mountain will be dug one day, tens of thousands of slaves cannot be raised by Liu Wei'an alone, but there is nothing in the slave area. With all his resources, Fang Xiaoyuan finally thought of a way to make money.
The slave zone is located in the middle of the three empires. No matter how bad the environment is in this three no matter zone, the terrain is there and the transportation is convenient. For various reasons, the road has not been repaired. Once repaired, it will inevitably become a major transportation link between the three empires. As long as a toll station is set up, it will be equal to an endless stream of money.
Although this plan is full of risks, after repeated consideration, Liu Wei'an agreed. Without him, there is really no other way out.
The only role of slaves is to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. Now that the war is stopped, slaves have no use for them. The second role is to mine. Unfortunately, the planets occupied by humans currently have no minerals. Third, do some of the hardest, most tiring, and dangerous work, such as cleaning the sewers and exploring unknown areas, but you don’t need so many slaves. The slightly useful slaves have long been picked out, and the rest are not wanted. .
So, slaves can't find work, even if they don't need money, just for a meal, there are not so many jobs available for them.
Road construction is the only profitable project that can be thought of at present, even if the risk is great, Liu Wei'an has to grit his teeth.
Relying on the income from garbage, Fang Xiaoyuan made a budget and was able to stick to it until the road was repaired and there was still a little surplus. Speaking of this, I have to thank the tens of thousands of slaves in the slave area. In order to get a full meal, they don’t have to pay for them. They are desperate. Many places where machinery can be used are replaced by humans. Except for those that cannot be done manually, the rest The steps are all done by slaves. There are many people and power, and the speed is not much slower than that of machines.
Although food is not a small expense, it is much cheaper than using machinery entirely. Among them, Zhao Kangcheng played a key role.
He takes care of the talents and equipment, but he is not at a loss. In this era when garbage is becoming more and more expensive, the input of dozens of cars every day in Times Square has made him a lot of money. The position in the scrap industry continues to rise.
Zhou Xingchen was promoted to the next level because of his meritorious service in that massacre. From a junior officer to a chief, from being led to leader, he was ascended to heaven one step at a time. Although he was still responsible for the gatekeeping work, there were still more than a dozen people. The leader.
As the position was promoted, the authority also increased. Under his operation, nearly fifty core members of Times Square obtained the entry certificate and got rid of their status as slaves. From then on, people can enter the city in an open manner.
This is because Zhou Xingchen is cautious. There are too many proofs for entering the city at one time, lest it attract the attention of interested people.
The slave area and the city must be linked. Although Zhao Kangcheng is helping him, after all, Zhao Kangcheng’s identity is not simple. Some big things ask him to come forward, but some small things are not easy to trouble him. It is necessary for someone to be active in the city. Up.
Until Liu Wei'an paid, Zhou Jie and Zhang Yan let go. They worried that Liu Wei'an saw that the price was too high to pay.
Liu Wei'an ignored their careful thoughts and returned to the room. First, he checked the balance in the account. Thanks to Huang Shacheng for his emotion, there are 1.3 billion copper plates. Worked out the phone.
"The son!" The monkey who answered the phone, as the elite of the transportation brigade, became the first group of people to enter the city. Because of their shrewdness and ability, they were promoted to the captain.
The descendants of the Lions had always called Liu Wei'an the benefactor, but Liu Wei'an disagreed, so he became the son.
"Buy food!" Liu Wei'an's order consisted of only four words, and there were no extra words.
When Mao Monkey turned on the phone and looked at the series of numbers in the bank card prompt message in the text message, he almost dangled his eyes. After counting several times, he could figure out exactly how many zeros, 1.3 billion, which he had never seen in his entire life. So much money. Although I don't understand why Liu Wei'an issued this order, he executed Liu Wei'an's order unconditionally.
After 12 o’clock in the afternoon, it happened to be the place to eat at home, Anyuan City and several surrounding cities, various rice shops, pasta shops, wholesale supermarkets, department stores...Some mysterious figures appeared and began to sweep the goods frantically. , One cart one cart to the big trailer, the cashier couldn't scan the code.
The large trailer full of cargo ran directly to the gate of the border between Anyuan City and the slave area. Zhou Xingchen, who had already been notified by Liu Wei'an by phone, had not stopped and let it go directly.
The trailer drove out of the city gate and exchanged with another batch of large trailers waiting outside. A batch of empty vehicles entered the city, while the large trailers full of food rushed towards Times Square. There were originally only dozens of scrapped cars in Times Square. Later, because of the trouble of changing cars, I bought more than 50 new cars in one go.
Scrap cars cannot enter the city. Every time you purchase equipment, you will transfer them at the gate of the city.
Just over fifty core members’ entry permits were obtained~IndoMTL.com~ so they bought fifty large trailers in one go, so that they could make a living in the city.
Calculating, plus the scrapped cars, there are almost 150 taels of cars in Times Square. However, these two large-scale car purchases almost squandered Times Square’s savings.
The large-scale food panic buying action quickly attracted the attention of interested people. Many citizens joined the panic buying trend, and everyone was blind. Once someone took the lead, someone would follow suit. At exactly this time, the food crisis and chicken disease The incident broke out, panic spread at an alarming rate, and most of Tianfeng Province was caught in a storm of rushing to buy food.
Mars lack of food is as serious as lack of water. It has always been a topic of memory. At night, the entire Han Dynasty has fallen into a wave of food purchases, and the prices of various foods have soared. Even so, they are not enough to deter the citizens. In an anxious mood, the goods in the supermarket were swept away, the goods in the wholesale market were all emptied, small department stores, restaurants, hotels, etc., wherever there was food, they were overwhelmed by crowds. Those who have grabbed food are afraid that it will not be enough, and those who have not grabbed it are extremely anxious.
"Who is it, who on earth did the news leak?" Tianfeng Province, the deputy governor in charge of grain was furious.
