459 The Huang family backed down
After becoming a planet guardian for a short time, Chen Xiansong understood a lot of things and also knew the mission he was shouldering. Of course, it is not correct to say that it is a mission, but rather to do a little obligation, and the consciousness of the planet tells him that he must lead intelligent beings on the right path.
What is the right path? Chen Xiansong felt that it was the right path for various races to live and develop science and technology without war, for example, as in the new human era. However, he also understands that the era of new humans is also the beginning of human beings from apes, and it took a long time to evolve, or to develop to that point, and although the current human beings have aliens and the teachings of new humans, after all, science and technology, civilization have been lost too much, and it is completely impossible to reproduce the new human era in a short time.
However, if there is the help of aliens, although they are energy creatures, but this is exactly the ability that earthlings lack, after the earthlings and aliens are mixed, if they can have spiritual power, so that the scientific and technological civilization and energy civilization can be blended together, in the future, the earthlings will fly out of the earth and enter the universe, and there will be an extra hole card that can be both offensive and defensive.
Of course, it's too early to say such a thing, and what Chen Xiansong wants to do at the moment is that he must let Xiao Lingshan grow up until he becomes a qualified planet guardian before he is qualified to consider this matter. However, before that, there are still many things to do, such as assisting the old Chen family to get the throne, and for example, forcing Liang Wangfu to hand over the projector left by Sister Bai.
Of course, there is a direct relationship between the two. As long as the royal family falls, the Liang Wangfu will not be much better, and they will no longer have the capital to be proud of at that time. Naturally, the projector will be handed over obediently.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiansong sighed, he actually doesn't like this kind of life of intrigue and struggle for power and profit, but people live in this world, there are always some things that must be fought for, especially when he is not really strong. If he is already a complete body of the Star Guardian now, why bother to directly locate the object. And then just pull things over.
Now that the Qin family and the Fa family have allied with the old Chen family, their strength has increased greatly, and the dead soldiers of the old Chen family have also been summoned to a similar point, about ten days or so. You'll be able to plan. It's just that Chen Xiansong doesn't think that the royal family will wait for death. They must have their own moves, and now it's just a matter of seeing who has the thicker background and who moves faster.
Now the most idle person in the old Chen family is none other than Chen Xiansong, he thought about it for a while, and felt that he was so idle, not like that, so he said hello to Huilian. asked her to take good care of her parents, and took Zhao Tiezhu out.
It's still daytime. Heluo City was originally a prosperous place, but at this time there were few pedestrians on the streets. Some of those who were in a hurry changed their expressions even more when they saw Chen Xiansong and Zhao Tiezhu, and they walked faster. The old Chen family is going to rebel, now the whole city knows, everyone feels the atmosphere of the storm, those small families and civilians who have no ability to beg themselves and dare not stand indiscriminately, naturally they are afraid of getting into trouble, and try to have less time to go out, they saw Zhao Tiezhu, and saw his identity as belonging to the old Chen family as his black servant uniform, and immediately avoided it, so as not to get into trouble for some reason.
This is only one reason for the lack of people, and the other reason is that because of the relationship between the old Chen family and the major families who are crazy about buying grain, now the food in Heluo City has soared to the point of sky-high prices, and there are a large number of famine people in the city, but within a few days, they were all led out of the city by the old Chen family's soup kitchens and the method of substitute work, helping the old Chen family to do things.
The city defenders in charge of the Huang family turned a blind eye to this, and let those who had no food pour out of the city, firstly, they were afraid that these people would gather in the city to make trouble, and the civil rebellion has always been the most taboo thing for those in power, and now just the north-south riot is enough trouble, coupled with the declaration of the old Chen family, now Heluo City is already a powder keg, if there is a civil uprising again, then maybe it will really be 'exploded' immediately.
There are fewer pedestrians in Holo City, and even most of the show boats are closed. Chen Xiansong saw that there was nowhere to go, so he walked along the main street of Heluo City, one by one, almost all the shops were closed, and occasionally some vendors were putting some food on the table, because the sea of food had reached a sky-high price, and these foods had also risen to an outrageous price, and few people cared about it.
The whole city fell into an atmosphere of fear, but there are always some people who are not afraid of death, and Chen Xiansong actually found a hotel, not only with the door open, but also with many people inside.
As soon as Chen Xiansong walked in, a shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, but as soon as he saw Zhao Tiezhu's clothes, his smiling face immediately froze, and he said with a hint of horror: "Two masters, please take a seat, I will find the best private room for you, please wait." ”
Chen Xiansong understood that the shopkeeper probably knew that they were from the old Chen family, so he nodded. When Xiao Er went upstairs to check the vacant private rooms, he looked at the guests in the main hall. There are a lot of people here, all of them are drinking wine, indifferent to things, although they are dusty, they can't help but look happy.
"Brother Hua, how much did you earn?"
"No more, no more, I brought 300 stone of coarse rice over, you can calculate it yourself."
"Alas, I only shipped two hundred stones......"
These were merchants, and all of them were grain merchants from other places. Now the best business in Heluo City is grain, like a bottomless pit, no matter how much grain these foreign merchants bring over, it will be swallowed clean. Moreover, the price of grain is still rising vigorously, to the point that some foreign businessmen find it outrageous.
After a while, Xiao Er came down, led Chen Xiansong to the third floor, and then asked him to sit under a clean private room, saying that it was not right to say that it was a private room, but it was just separated by two screens, and there were many businessmen sitting in the private room chatting in twos and threes.
"Just serve some of your specialty dishes." Chen Xiansong sat down, and then said to Zhao Tiezhu, who was standing: "You can sit too, I'm not used to people watching me eat." ”
Zhao Tiezhu thought about it, and sat down as he said. Generally speaking, there is an unwritten rule in hotels in the Kingdom of Aurora, the higher the floor, the more expensive the private room fee. This is a small hotel, and the third floor is already the top floor, so the people sitting here have more or less money in their mouths.
Different from those businessmen in the main hall, the businessmen from other places here have more experience and experience, and the content of their discussions is also more in-depth. Not long after Chen Xiansong sat down, he heard a whispered discussion before and after.
"I don't know how much food can rise in Heluo City. I'm coming from the south, it's a long way off, and it's going to take at least a month to go back and forth, so I'm going to stay here for a while and wait until the price of food is at its highest. ”
"The old Chen family has raised the price of grain, and they want to rebel, but what does it matter to speculate on the price of grain here?"
"People must be employed in rebellion, probably because they are afraid that they will have more people and no food in the future."
"Nonsense, according to my observation, the old Chen family used to have a lot of food, and now they have collected so much, enough for thousands of people to eat for more than half a year. I don't understand, why did the old Chen family give porridge outside the city, now that the price of food is so high, a bowl of gruel costs at least two cents, are they panicking because of the extra money? ”
"Yes, although the old Chen family has a good reputation, this is too much."
"Whatever, the old Chen family has collected enough grain, I'm afraid they won't accept it in the future, now it's okay, they will give porridge, they will definitely consume a lot of grain, and the price of grain in Heluo City will have to rise for at least ten days in the future, I plan to go to other places tomorrow to transport a batch of grain back, even if it is more expensive, it doesn't matter, a round trip, top the profits of two or three years in previous years."
The businessmen here talk about the recent events in Heluo City, and the old Chen family inevitably becomes the protagonist. Many people are strange about the actions of the old Chen family, but because of the problem of knowledge and vision, no one has found out what terrible consequences the old Chen family's action of giving porridge outside the city.
This is the consequence of being limited in wisdom and imagination! Chen Xiansong took a sip of the weak tea served by Xiao Er, although he is the guardian of the planet, there is still no way to unlock these post-human thinking limitations. Maybe he's become a complete body, and maybe he'll find a way.
It seems that there is no useful news to be heard today. Chen Xiansong sighed, he really didn't expect that now Heluo City would be so cold.
At this moment, a noble man in a brocade robe walked up from below, he went up to the third floor, looked around, saw Chen Xiansong and walked straight over, and then hugged his fists and said: "The ancestor of the Chen family, the younger generation Huang Wenlei is polite." ”
"You may be seated." Chen Xiansong pointed to the position opposite him.
Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly stood up, although Chen Xiansong asked him to sit, he sat down, but when there were outsiders, he, a servant, did not dare to sit down, which was not only unruly, but also would lose the face of the old Chen family, at least a hat with poor discipline would be buttoned up, sometimes, the rules of the big family are so troublesome.
"Grandfather of the Chen family, I was about to go to the old Chen family to meet you, but I received news from my subordinates that you came here, so I hurried here."
Huang Wenlei's appearance is also quite good, his face is white and beardless, he is wearing a white silk robe, a piece of green warm jade around his waist, and black gold-tipped deerskin boots on his feet.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xiansong didn't like the person in front of him very much.
"Our Huang family has handed over the Tiger Talisman according to your request, and most of the people have also withdrawn from Heluo City. I would like to ask you when you plan to put my older brothers and sisters back. ”
Chen Xiansong blinked: "You guys are moving quite fast, didn't the Liang Mansion and the royal family embarrass you?" ”
Huang Wenlei's face was a little ugly, and Chen Xiansong's coercion and separating the serial scheme was really disgusting. (To be continued......)
