Chapter 67: Food
"Xiaoice, are there any restrictions for buddy?"
Chu He asked while rubbing Xiaoice's round braincase.
After the last transaction, the pawnshop was upgraded to open up advanced features6.
Advanced function 6: The pawnshop can recruit a buddy and grant the buddy corresponding permissions
For the ravages of the master, Xiaoice has accepted his fate, without a trace of desire to resist.
"Master, there is no racial restriction for pawnshop guys, as long as it is an intelligent life."
"Oh, that's good, you have to find a profiteer who is like me, no, more treacherous than me."
At this time, Chu He received a reminder that Gu Chen and Huo Qi entered the pawnshop.
Is the factory already built? They were really fast, thinking, Chu He came to the reception room where they were.
"Is the factory ready?"
Huo Qi's heart tightened, the boss paid so much attention to the airship factory, it seemed that he had to speed up and get "uh... Not yet, boss, please take time out of a large open space. ”
Chu He was a little disappointed, "Oh, okay, then you are here?" What's up? Reporting? ”
The two glanced at each other, and Huo Qi said, "Yes, boss, we have already established the country, Qiming Kingdom." ”
"Well, yes, and then what? What's next? Expansion? ”
"No, we stopped expanding for the time being, because we found that the original Qiming Gang was unstable internally, so we decided to build the country first, stabilize the interior, and cultivate a group of talented backbones loyal to the country, and then start expansion."
Chu He nodded, "Yes, your thinking is correct, you should indeed stabilize the situation before expanding, and besides, the territory you have laid down also needs to be managed by people, and it can't be as chaotic as the previous gangs." ”
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to speak, Huo Qi could only stubbornly continue to speak, "Understand, boss, we will pay attention, but now we may need your help, boss." ”
Chu He raised his eyebrows, "Oh? You said. ”
"Boss, there is a big food shortage in Qiming Kingdom, we don't have enough land to grow food crops, and even we don't have good seeds, and people are starving to death every day."
Chu He was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that there would be people starving to death in the interstellar civilization, how could it be inferior to the earth.
Well, it doesn't seem right.
There are also starving people in backward places on the earth.
And the Red Prison Star was still a prison two hundred years ago, and after the withdrawal of the imperial army, that place should be extremely backward.
That makes sense.
Chu He was just about to speak, but another question came to his mind.
In the past two hundred years, if the Red Prison Star has been so backward, the population should not be too large.
The lack of food supply will definitely lead to a large number of people starving to death, but these are two hundred years later, and the current food production of Red Prison should be able to sustain the current population, why are people still starving to death every day.
"Has the Red Prison Star been hit by any major natural disasters lately?"
Huo Qi couldn't answer, after all, he hadn't been to the Red Prison Star for a long time, and he looked at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen opened his mouth and replied, "No." ”
"Didn't you? That doesn't make sense, if there is not enough food supply, the population will quickly drop to a certain limit in a short period of time, and after that, there should be no mass starvation. ”
"Huh?" Gu Chen was stunned, he understood every word of the boss's words, but when they were connected, he couldn't understand them.
Huo Qi understood the boss's question, and reminded in a low voice, "What does the boss mean, why are these people starving to death until now, and how did they survive before." ”
Chu He is embarrassed, do I mean that? It seems to be, but you don't have to be so cruel.
Only then did Gu Chen understand what the boss meant, "Most of the people who are starving to death now are old people, they used to live in big gangs and big cities, and the food in big places is still relatively sufficient, but after they get old, their physical strength weakens, and they are driven out." ”
Chu He gritted his teeth, these bastards are really inhuman, "You can't be like this in the future, I hope you can be a person." ”
"We will, boss."
Subconsciously, his fingers began to tap on the table, "I will provide you with food and seeds, but you have to guarantee that the Red Prison Star, at least the Qiming Kingdom, cannot have such a thing happen again." ”
"We'll try, boss."
"Well, go out, I'll find you when the food arrives."
The two nodded in unison, then got up to leave.
But at this time, Chu He spoke again, "By the way, I need a guy to help me pay attention, be clever and cunning." ”
The two answered and left the pawnshop.
After they left, Chu He summoned Xiao Chenyang again.
The situation is urgent, and it is not convenient to find other people, so I can only find him, anyway, it is not the first time that he has broken his promise, and it is estimated that he is used to it.
"Master, Xiao Chenyang is in the reception room No. 250 now, you can just go over directly."
"Huh?" Chu He was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was really like this, he had forgotten about it, Wu Zuowei, this kid, was moving outside with Xiao Chenyang's face.
"Uh... That's... Let's find Gao Ming. ”
Although looking for him would destroy his image in his heart, Chu He couldn't care so much about this life-threatening matter.
After a while, Gao Ming came.
"Boss Chu, I'm really sorry, the weapon is still in contact, you have to wait a few more days."
"Oh, then you get it as soon as possible, if it drags on for too long, I may find someone else."
"Sure, sure, I'll get it as soon as possible."
Chu He continued to tap on the table, "There is something else to find you this time, I need a lot of food, the sooner the better, preferably today, can you get it?" ”
Food? Gao Ming was stunned, this thing is not unusual, what does Boss Chu want this?
"Yes, I can provide a lot of military nutrition, in terms of price?"
"You make an offer."
Gao Ming pondered for a while and raised the price by fifty percent.
"One nutrient is enough for one person for three days, two star coins."
Chu He knew that he would definitely raise the price, so he had already prepared a countermeasure, leaning back in the chair, raising his chin and looking at him with his nostrils.
"I want a lot of food, wholesale, do you know what wholesale is? Don't let something as worthless as food affect our arms trade, you know? ”
Gao Ming sighed in his heart, and sure enough, he still couldn't deceive this Boss Chu.
"A piece of five."
Chu He opened the pawnshop door, "You can go." ”
Gao Ming hurriedly reached out and grabbed Chu He's arm, "Don't don't, Boss Chu, one piece two, there is really no way to be low, I have to take the risk." ”
Chu He silently pulled out his arm, "One piece of one, I want to purchase in large quantities, and you should understand the truth of small profits and quick turnover." ”
"Hmm..."Gao Ming thought to himself, one only earns a dime, not much, but if it is purchased in large quantities, it will start at 10 million?
That's a million to earn, too.
"Yes, how much do you want?"
"Today, as much as you can get, how much I want, if there is still a need later, I will look for you again."
"Okay." Gao Ming immediately agreed, and then left the pawnshop in a hurry.
After returning to the room, he immediately dialed the adjutant's contact.
"Collect all our nutrients and send them to my house."
The adjutant was taken aback, "All?" And what did the soldiers eat? ”
Gao Ming said coldly, "Find a way to go by yourself, act quickly, today, you must send it." ”
has been the deputy commander of Huang Shaxing for so many years, although he has not been promoted, but Gao Ming still has control over Huang Shaxing.
The Huangshaxing garrison has a total of nine military regions, and Gao Ming can control four.
The other five, in the hands of other forces and commanders.
It is obvious that the soldiers of these four military districts did not have nutrients to eat today.
But it didn't matter, because almost all the soldiers didn't like the nutrients, because they were so unpalatable and tasteless.
Maybe after the order is given, they'll celebrate that they finally don't have to eat that damn nourishment.
Of course, this is not within the scope of Gao Ming's consideration.
