Chapter 172: Closing the Mountain
Something is wrong! Ikyu turned his head quickly, and his gaze fell on the hidden door.
It's no wonder that when I got up this morning, somehow, I always had a strange feeling, very bad, and I couldn't say it, but I didn't expect something big to happen.
Immediately, Wukong flashed in front of the door like a gust of wind, stood in front of Yixiu, gasped, and stumbled.
"Master, master, something is wrong!"
"You bastard, you say", Ikkyu was so anxious that he really wanted to pick up his shoeboard and give it to his bald head, but Ikkyu didn't do it, but sighed faintly as before.
"Wukong, you are naughty again, what are you doing in such a hurry, didn't the teacher tell you to guard against arrogance and rashness?"
"Abbot, it's no wonder that Wukong's nephew is in this matter, it's really a hurry, but it's better for the poor monk to report this matter to the abbot!"
But when I heard this, I didn't see the person, I heard the sound first, and after hearing this sentence, I saw the six hearts with his hands folded and his face full of solemn eyes, pacing from the meditation room.
At this moment, when Ikkyu was looking at Wukong, he found that this bastard boy was sticking out his tongue naughtily, and he stepped aside.
"Senior brother, what is going on", Yixiu saw that Wukong had already retired, and he came on the field with six hearts, and he didn't plan to go around the bend, just say whatever he wanted, without ambiguity.
And Liuxin is also a simple person, after giving a salute to Yixiu, he said, "Abbot, the city lord of Rock Fire City reclosed the city gate two days ago, and just ordered half a day ago to reopen the city gate and accept the victims who are still coming from all directions to enter the city, but they are only allowed to enter and not leave. ”
Speaking of this, Liuxin stopped the words in his mouth in embarrassment, and looked up at Yixiu, a little bit of wanting to say and stopping.
On the surface, the city lord of Rock Fire City closed the city gate twice, and opened the city gate twice, and this time he ordered to help the victims, not only reducing the pressure on the Golden Cicada Temple, but also helping to better and properly resettle the increasing number of victims.
But Liuxin's expression is resting, how do you look at it, how do you feel that there is something in the words.
So, Ikyu got up from the bed and asked knowingly, "Senior brother, wouldn't it be a good thing to say that, why should you be bothered?"
Liuxin was stunned, and sighed again that he did not belong to the monks, knowing that he could not do anything, so he said what he had done in the three days of his absence.
It turned out that on the night when Ikkyu fell asleep three days ago, the lord of Rock Fire Castle entangled the nobles in the city and held a secret meeting.
The contents of the meeting were unknown to anyone other than the nobles.
But one thing is certain, on the night after the meeting, the city lord city issued seven city lord orders in a row, with the knights of the city lord's mansion who guard all the communication arteries entering the territory of Rock Fire City, and the knights who guard the four gates of the east, west, north, south and north of Rock Fire City.
There are many contents of the Seven Dao City Lord Orders, and there are no more than three points to sum up.
First, the four gates of Rock Fire City were temporarily closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and violators were punished for treason.
Second, order all the Castle Lord's Mansion troops guarding the traffic fortress to implement a laissez-faire policy for the victims who are pouring in from all directions, and allow them to enter Rock Fire City and the area of influence at will.
And the third point is the most important, because in the third point, don't mention that the elite of five hundred rock fire cities will be sent to block the Golden Cicada Mountain, not only will all the victims enter the range of the Golden Cicada Mountain, and they will not be allowed to enter, but they will be allowed to come out.
At this time, Ikyu finally smelled a hint of something that was not right, it was obvious that not only the William family had already targeted him, but even the biggest boss in Rock Fire City, the city lord, was also eyeing it.
In the previous time, Yixiu heard Yifeng once mention the relationship between the William family and the city lord, and the city lord's wife is actually the younger sister of the William family, which means that the two families are relatives at all.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Ikyu to guess that in this matter, the William family is definitely standing behind him and causing him to be bad.
The consequence of this incident is that for a long time in the future, the Golden Cicada Temple can no longer exchange any materials with the outside world, which is a fatal blow to the Golden Cicada Temple, which now has a huge team of nearly 16,000 or 7,000 people.
Because no matter how much food is prepared for a holiday, there will always be a day when it is eaten, and there are so many people, the food consumed every day is unimaginable, if there is no supply from the outside world, there may be no food shortage in the Golden Cicada Temple for the time being, but once it is a long time, needless to say, something big will definitely happen.
It was at this moment, after a break, that I finally understood why the six hearts were so dull today.
Ikyu estimates that according to the experience of the six hearts, you should see this, and the consequences of this incident must not only be the problem of food shortage.
It will definitely be accompanied by the problem of the collapse of believers' faith in the later period because of the food problem.
And then the six hearts did not stop, talking about what happened today, because the nobles and big families in the city before had a very strange attitude towards this famine.
While hoarding grain, they said that they had no conscience, and secretly encouraged the continuous rise in grain prices, from which they reaped a lot of benefits.
Among them, the most profitable is the William Firm under the name of the William family, just in the past few days, they have sold tens of thousands of catties of grain at the price of one catty of white flour or one crystal coin of Chen Gu.
And what Liuxin is going to say next is also closely related to the price of grain, first of all, after the reopening of Rock Fire City today, the price of grain still remains at the price of one pound of crystal coins.
Because ten crystals can only buy ten catties of white noodles, or sinking valley, but it is almost equivalent to the remuneration that a fifth-class person can earn for a month of working on the construction site.
For the huge population of disaster victims whose per capita income of the lower class is only about three gold coins, no one can accept it.
But no matter how expensive the price is, for those who have been hungry for several days, it is nothing at all, so the profiteer family represented by the William family has made a lot of money in just half a day.
And when it came to this, Ichishu realized what kind of shady things those nobles and city lords were doing in Chengzhong.
Originally, he wanted to make a lot of money through this catastrophe and earn capital for his family, especially the William family, who got an important piece of information from Yifeng before he took a break.
It is the William family that is preparing for the purchase of the road and the promotion of the knighthood.
This method existed in ancient times in the previous life of Ichishu, and in Atlantis, where there was a belief in the gods, and it was even more excessive.
As for the specific operation of the William family, Yixiu didn't want to care at all, the problem was that they were using human lives to pile up the road to their own family's glory and wealth.
Ikyu admits that he often does something not because of the Bodhisattva's heart, but he really can't bear it in this matter, and he must find a way to help those hard-working victims.
However, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of food shortage in the Golden Cicada Temple. ,
This is the wonderful idea that the victims of the disaster not only responded to the idea that they could not eat for nothing, but also demanded to work.
