Chapter 417: Wildfire

After that, the information sifted out was much more scattered.

For example, Jinxia City is pursuing an education system that does not require

money, the host of the Agency is the original Gyeonggi officials, there are

new ships visiting the harbor, the General Affairs Bureau is in charge of

people’s clothing, food, housing, birth, old age, sickness and death... and

these are more At least it can have something to do with Xia Fan.

A listener, can really bring such a huge change to Yancheng?

Feinian really doubted this.

He has consulted the records of the recording department. 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 exceptionally talented, or

powerful, or Mastered the amazing secrets and finally got 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?

Thinking back carefully, as early as when he contacted Xia Fan in Qingshan

Town, he had already had signs that were different from ordinary people.

Feinian 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 the demon, it is the last thing Qixing wants to see. This

time the second prince is probably unable to deliberately leave the three

princes dead as they did with the eldest brother.

Feinian is more fortunate that the Privy Council did not immediately encircle

Jinxia City after the end of the snow period. The Xuzhou Black Cavaliers led

by Qingjian and an army of 20,000 to 30,000 may be able to easily deal with

the Shufa family, but facing Jin Xia, who owns Ssangyong and Nine Heavenly

Thunder Envoy, probably won't get any benefits. Once the battle situation has

reached a stalemate, the Tianshu regime that is establishing a new order will

inevitably be a head-on blow. Not only will the local forces be ready to move,

the Seven Stars will also question the ability of the Tianshu Envoy.

This war must be destroyed, and the final word will be done!

Sending spies to weaken the opponent’s power is the right choice.

After all, the changes in Jinxia are incredible. The residents also need to

eat and a stable political situation. When these no longer exist, no matter

how strong the alchemist individual is, it will not help.

And this is where the new regime is most prone to problems.

Feinian 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 overcome it, it probably depends on these

things done before the war begins.

……

Jinxia, in the office compound.

The Ministry of Food is preparing a new round of import plans.

Now all departments know that the Equestria’s visiting fleet has dragged two

million taels of silver to Jinxia City, and Xia Fan has never encouraged

saving money, so that everyone has more courage to make plans than before. One

piece.

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 starving

to death in the area he manages.

Whenever he thinks of this sentence, a raging flame bursts 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 Ministry of Food does not need to consider the funding.

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 great announcement, it's really good, 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 said with a beard and stared.

"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,

"and all the channels are rising, and 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 large-scale landlords in the

upstream, and the prices of Anshen and Baihe were increased. The amplitude is

most obvious.

Food fluctuations often occur in disaster years or periods of turmoil, but the

weather last year was smooth, and the locust plague did not affect Qiguo.

There is no reason for a full price increase.

It’s fine if there is a small increase. Not only does the price on the list

increase sharply, the suspension of business is a very bad omen.

That doesn't mean that the grain shop is out of stock, but 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 to ask. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Wei Yan picked up the

teapot on the table, "Wait, you have no tea here?"

"Father——!"

"Yes, it looks a bit." He nodded in satisfaction, "The answer is that nothing

happened, but that the number of people buying food has suddenly increased in

the past week. I synthesized the situation of each family and concluded that

Jinxia City was excluded. In addition, the grain trade in other places has

entered the peak season ahead of schedule."

"This is not a natural peak season." Wei Wushuang said decisively 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 quickly."

The senior officials 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 risen to twice the normal level, and there have been

rumors of Jinxia food shortages, claiming that it is our large-scale purchase

of stored food that has caused shortages in surrounding towns. In addition to

the food shops that are still open, there has been a situation of people

snapping up. The food sold has been found to be resold again, and it is now

impossible to trace the source.
