Chapter 196: Cleanup 1

In the past two days, a major event with great influence has occurred in the base - the price of goods at the base has dropped.

The drop in prices at the base is, in the eyes of all, an impossible thing.

After all, until now, the base has not studied the soil and crops that can be grown on a large scale.

After the end of the world, I don't know what it was affected by, and there was no food in the land, unless it was ripened with a wood-based ability, otherwise, there was almost no harvest.

Even if there are mutant beasts, some of them can be replenished, but this bit of meat is just a drop in the bucket for the huge consumption in the base.

With food shortages on the rise, everyone understands that prices are only going to get higher.

Therefore, when the price of goods at the base suddenly dropped, the first reaction of everyone who received the news was incredulous. They will think that the person who spreads the news is not paranoid!

In fact, the prices in the base have not all dropped, only the official supply stores and some stores that cooperate with the Murong family have reduced the prices to eighty percent of the original.

The vast majority of the base are civilians, and there are still very few powerful people after all.

For the sake of these two percent discounts, many people would rather queue up all night than go to another store to buy something

In order to maintain the operation of the base and to prevent people from maliciously hoarding materials, the daily supply of materials is limited, and the amount of purchase per person is also limited, and one identity card can only buy the corresponding amount.

Even so, the supplies sold at the base every day are not enough to satisfy everyone. So, some people have to buy things in other private stores.

Most of the private shops are opened by some families or mercenary groups, and they don't necessarily want to increase the price themselves, but when other stores go up, but their own stores don't, they will definitely feel at a loss.

In this way, they have followed the trend, and he is not the only one who is rising. A lot of people are like this, and maybe they want to go up more, so they can earn more.

In such a vicious circle, ordinary people still suffer.

It's not that Murong Yue can't accept the rise in prices, but at least there has to be a degree, and the current situation is obviously deliberate.

Do they use the southwest base as something, a tool for collecting money?

Murong Yue not only asked the base to reduce prices, but even introduced a new regulation that all shops opened in the base must pay trade tax.

Prior to this, Murong Yue only collected the rent of the shop and did not let people pay taxes.

Because he thought that the materials in the base alone would definitely not be enough, he encouraged everyone to go out to find supplies, and if they had any surplus, they could open their own stores.

But such tolerance, instead of earning them gratitude, has only made it even more rampant.

Think they won't be able to function without the base? If you really think so, you really take yourself too seriously.

Not to mention that there are materials from Lianzi, even without these materials, it is not impossible for Murong Yue to clean up the base, but it will just make the base turbulent for a while.

Murong Yue's tough methods certainly harmed the interests of many people, and they complained to Murong Heng, dissatisfied with the tax regulations. But Murong Heng and Murong Yue have long been united, where will they pay attention to them, and they can't say it directly.

Running into a wall here in Murong Heng, many people also realized that the Murong family was going to be serious this time.

Because of the low prices at the base, their store has long been unpatronized. Some people simply closed their stores, some people are watching, and some people are wondering how to stop this great change.
