Chapter 579: The Queen's Visit
The fall in food prices makes people happy and worried, but for ordinary people, this is definitely good news, after all, the inflated food prices directly lead to the increase in the price of many commodities, and the price of food falls, even if other commodities want to maintain high prices, it is impossible.
Of course, only those greedy grain merchants suffered, none of them expected that the Kingdom of New Zealand would suddenly take out so much grain at once, more than tens of millions of tons, enough for hundreds of millions of people to eat for more than half a year, and said that there would be as many as they wanted, and this year there would be no export quota restrictions and they would be sold openly.
In fact, when it comes to the price of food, although the disaster in the whole of North America is the main reason, from the blockade of Jifeng and the war with it, to the war with the former New Zealand and the former Australia, the price of food has begun to rise, but the momentum at that time was not so great.
Now that the aliens have been "beaten away", the people of the whole world are complaining about the price of food, many areas that have basically solved the problem of food and clothing, but because of this incident, they have fallen into a hungry situation again, especially in the provinces of South and North New Zealand, because of the war, the original grain reserves here are basically gone, and it is strange that the price of food does not rise when millions of mouths are waiting to be fed.
It's just a little bit of an increase, Ji Feng doesn't care, after all, he is a businessman himself, or the world's largest businessman, it is not an exaggeration, but the main grain merchants actually hoard a lot of grain, and they just want to double it, so that the whole world will suffer, then Ji Feng will definitely not do it.
The Ministry of Agriculture was again ordered to send a steady stream of grain from Palawan to the southern provinces, northern new provinces and Australia. In order to alleviate the current situation of the local food emergency, in fact, there is basically no big problem on the Australian side, after all, when the war was fighting, they surrendered without destroying the enemy's food supplies.
Except for Alaska and Hawaii, a large number of victims from North America have gathered. The five disaster-stricken countries of Mud Bomb, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, and the United States have become the top five customers of the Kingdom of New Zealand's grain.
After the three kingdoms were tossed by aliens, there is basically no food reserves, not to mention, the mud bombardment was done by the Kingdom of New Zealand, although they did not rush to their granary when the war was fighting, but during the war, they realized that the citizens of a country came, and the acts of smashing, looting and burning were constantly staged in the areas involved in the war.
In addition, the super earthquake in the summer directly made the mud bombardment of food reserves urgent. It can be said that these five countries are the main victims of inflated food prices, and South Korea is the lightest, after all, although the price of the won is low. But at least it's still strong, and the yen, dollar, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso are now almost no different from waste paper, and people can do without them internationally.
Just when Shikoku was crying and shouting and begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother to raise food internationally, the Kingdom of New Zealand suddenly threw out a large amount of food. It is also the highest quality food. The price was lower than before the price increase, which directly made them faint happily.
But when the governments of the four countries approached the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and wanted to import large quantities, they found that although there was no saying that they would not accept their currency, it was no different from not accepting them.
Aware of the instability of their currency in the international market, the Ministry of Agriculture has come up with a new policy that allows them to borrow Singapore dollars at the current price first, and the Ministry of Agriculture guarantees to the Royal Central Bank of New Zealand to solve the current food crisis first. In the future, they will just have to repay the loan slowly, and take into account their current difficulties. The interest on the loan is also quite low.
Shikoku is now good as long as there is food, where will there be so much consideration, and the interest on the loan is indeed not high, so it took Shikoku only two days to complete the loan procedure to the Royal Central Bank of New Zealand in the name of the government.
Mud bombardment loans are the least, only 2 billion dollars, Canada 2.5 billion, Mexico 5 billion, and the United States has the most loans, more than 8 billion Singapore dollars.
Almost as soon as they signed the contract, the entire fleet of the East Asian shipping industry rushed to Palawan and joined the ranks of the competition for this huge business, even some of the large shipping companies in India, Pakistan and Iran.
However, the mud bombardment people don't need help from others at all, and their own boats are enough, so it's a big deal to make a few more trips.
Even if the mud bombardment is removed, the ocean transportation of the three major North American countries is completely insufficient, not to mention that it was destroyed in the war, so the owners of the world's ocean shipping companies, including Jeju Shipping, are happy, especially when they see that the fleet's delivery orders are scheduled for a few months, they are all happy, and they are all happy to see that the price of food fluctuates once or twice a year.
On the evening of the 5th, Ji Feng held a banquet in the main mansion of Kota Kinabalu to entertain Queen Elizabeth II, who had not been out for several years, and was an old lady in her nineties, but under Ji Feng's "meticulous" treatment, she now looks like she is fifty or sixty years old.
Her trip has also attracted the attention of the world, especially her purpose is very clear, she came straight to Kota Kinabalu, and after getting off the plane, she also walked around the city of Kota Kinabalu with great interest, and then arrived at Ji Feng's mansion before evening.
Sabah originally belonged to Malaysia, and Malaysia belonged to British Unicom, so strictly speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sabah once belonged to the United Kingdom. Since the end of the war with the Philippines, because the local government has strengthened the control of Filipinos here, the government and economy here are relatively stable, people live and work in peace and contentment, and their income has generally increased by more than 50% compared with before, especially the benefits are not even thought of before, so the people here are basically interested in Ji Feng, the owner of the island, and they are very enthusiastic about every distant visitor who comes to visit the island owner's mansion.
Many merchants who didn't recognize Elizabeth would give her the greatest discount when they heard that she was planning to visit Ji Feng in the island owner's mansion, and even some merchants were directly exempted. As for the cameras and bodyguards on the side, they ignored them, and Jeju TV often has a crew shooting here, so the people here are no longer interested in cameras or anything.
But after this phenomenon was disclosed to Europe by the BBC, countless people who had never been to Sabah were deeply surprised, they didn't expect that Ji Feng's two-year reign here had completely conquered the people here, the kind of gratitude and trust in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is absolutely impossible to fake, if it is only a few, but basically all the ordinary people on the picture are like this.
"Your Majesty, your complexion looks better than last month, and I am so glad for your recovery." As soon as the two met, Ji Feng slapped him with a sycophant. Every month, Ji Feng would provide a pill, of course, basically all of them came from the medicine tower, which was originally left by his former great-grandfather, and the most recent was refined by his wife in his own space.
"Son, do you want to say that you are more skilled in medicine? If that's the case, then I'll admit that you're the best doctor I've ever seen besides your great-grandfather. Her Majesty, the queen in her nineties, gave Ji Feng a hug with a smile like an old lady in the family, yes, it was just a simple hug, but Ji Feng obviously felt the old lady's slight sigh, as if she was remembering her deceased great-grandfather.
Ji Feng felt a little itchy like a cat scratching in his heart, I don't know if the two of them had a leg when they were young? Seeing that the old lady misses the Fa so much, it is difficult to say that she was pampered by her great-grandfather when she was young, maybe her first time was done by her great-grandfather. Otherwise, how could it have been decades, and how could she still miss her great-grandfather.
Although Ji Feng has this ability, he can read her memories at any time, but he is still embarrassed to do so, no matter what, this is all grandmother-level, in case he reads her memories and finds out that she and her great-grandfather's love journey back then, isn't it embarrassing to die?
Immediately, Ji Feng introduced her to his wives at home, except for Sika and Pani, who have not returned in North America for the time being, the rest have basically returned in the past two days.
The old lady considers herself an elder, and she is happy in her eyes for Ji Feng to marry more than a dozen wives, and from time to time she says that she is happy for her great-grandfather, especially when she sees a few children who are jumping around, she can't close her mouth with joy, she has never hugged her own great-grandson and great-granddaughter, of course, because her identity can't support it a few years ago.
But at this time, seeing Ji Xinying's sisters, they were all in their arms and spoiled, what made her happiest was that these children were no strangers to her at all, and they were not afraid.
Immediately the old hand waved, and the housekeeper on the side hurriedly offered gifts to each lady and children, even Ji Feng was no exception, although he knew that they lacked nothing, but the old lady's will could not be disobeyed, Ji Feng smiled and thanked him, and let the wives who looked at her accept it.
After the happy dinner, Her Majesty the Queen and Ji Feng chatted alone for a while, in addition to thanking her for her contribution to the peace of the world, it was to ask Ji Feng to take out the photos of his grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, although she had seen it more than once before, but looking at the photo at this moment, she was still a little sad.
But her situation made Ji Feng even more confused, and she almost couldn't help but probe her memory. Could it be that her great-grandfather not only had a leg with her, but also had a child in the end?
Ji Feng hurriedly shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind, don't do such a bloody thing, how does his grandfather think that it is also a Han with red roots, but there is absolutely no mixed blood. (To be continued......)
