Chapter 645: Food Shortage
Nicholas Dynasty, Province of Dautun, Office of Administration.
In the office of an official named 'Peggy', Huang Donghe held a stack of papers, looked down indifferently at the trembling Peggy, and asked in a cold voice, "Your Excellency Peggy, have you received a lot of Mr. Carr's money?" Now that Mr. Karl is newly mourned, it is not appropriate for you to turn around and reintroduce the policy of growing opium, right? ”
"Not suitable, not suitable" Peggy knelt on the ground, shaking her head like a rattle, trembling and shaking.
It's not that he's afraid of Huang Donghe, although the four-rank transcendent is also very powerful, there are a few four-rank guards in the city hall. But behind Huang Donghe, there was a blonde old man.
Piedman!
Six products are extraordinary!
Dynasty Paladins!
Defeated the existence of the Fire Demon King!
Seeing Piedman following behind Huang Donghe, Peggy didn't have the slightest fighting spirit, and said in a flattering tone, "I'm going to abolish this policy, I'm going to abolish it."
"No need," Huang Donghe said lightly, "Your Excellency Peggy, this policy is no longer important, I want you to help me do another thing now." ”
"You say, you say" Peggy nodded like pounding garlic, for fear that Huang Donghe would be unhappy if he agreed late.
"I want you to immediately gather all the nobles in the province and let them bring their private soldiers and guards to the provincial capital to assemble. At the same time, all the officials, pickets, pickets, and even garrisons in the province were all mobilized for me. Huang Donghe said coldly.
"All of them?" Peggy stammered, her eyes shocked, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
"What to do? Scold. Huang Donghe sneered, "Nicholas VI not only forbade opium, but even started a war because of opium, such a person, such a country, is no longer worthy of my allegiance, I want to establish a new dynasty without opium, and open up a pure land in this filthy land."
"The people I just mentioned are all people who have received Mr. Karl's money, and since they have received the money, they must do their best for Mr. Karl's last wishes!"
Peggy was dumbfounded, he understood, Huang Donghe was going to rebel!
He looked sharply at Piedman on the side, "Lord Paladin, this person is going to rebel, this person is going to rebel, you hurry up and catch this traitor!" ”
Piedman turned a deaf ear and just looked at Huang Donghe, "Is there no pure land of opium?" Nice question, what name are you going to give this new dynasty? ”
Peggy Petrochemical, he heard it, Piedman is going to support the Huang Donghe rebellion!
For a moment, Peggy's heart was in turmoil.
And by this time, Huang Donghe had already uttered a name "Roentgen Dynasty!" ”
Roentgenium, the surname of the Marquis of Karl
Martin is a native of Pandeby, sixty-two years old this year, he comes from an ordinary background, has an ordinary experience, and now he is just an ordinary old man.
If there is anything that is not ordinary, it is that Martin has a son who is a transcendent creature and is also a glorious dynastic soldier.
It is said that there is also a hope for the promotion of non-commissioned officer.
Martin has been paying close attention to the situation in the Nicholas Dynasty and the Guyue Kingdom lately, because there may be a war, and war means military merit.
If he has military merits, his son will really have no problem at all when he is promoted to non-commissioned officer.
So Martin sits in front of the computer and scrolls through the news whenever he has free time these days.
"Ahh On the day of the month, Martin got up early in the morning, turned on the computer in his heart, and thought silently, "The situation has been escalating in the past few days, and both countries are stationing troops on the border, and they have no intention of giving in." I don't know when the fight will start? ”
The computer turned on, and an exciting news immediately occupied Martin's field of vision: "Your Majesty actually went to the front line in person?" It seems that this battle will soon begin. ”
When his wife Marcie heard this, her face turned dark, "Okay, what kind of battle are you fighting, what if Tabor is accidentally injured?" ”
Martin was a little displeased: "What do you know?" Taber is now a critical period for promotion to non-commissioned officer, and it is the time when military merits need to be made, only by making military merits can we be steadily promoted to non-commissioned officers, and only by being promoted to non-commissioned officers can our family's class achieve a leap. ”
"I don't want to move anything, I just want Tabor to come back safely." Marcy said with a dark face, unable to understand why her husband was so excited about the war.
Seeing that her husband still wanted to refute, Marcie preemptively said, "There is no food at home, go out and buy some food, no matter how much you jump, you must eat your stomach first." ”
Martin suddenly lost his temper, indeed, eating is a big deal, neither of them is extraordinary creatures, and they are hungry and panicked if they don't eat.
With his shoes on, Martin pushed the door open, and there was a supermarket downstairs where he could buy cheap food, but it took some strength to resist and go home.
But when Martin came to the supermarket, he was a little dumbfounded, the area where the grain was placed was so empty that he couldn't see a grain of rice.
"Little girl" Martin called a staff member and asked, "Why is there no food?" ”
"I don't know" The staff member shook his head, also confused, "The food sent in the past two days is very small, and it didn't take long to be snapped up, I don't know what's going on today, a batch hasn't been sent over yet, uncle, don't worry, our manager has already gone to urge, and it will be soon, why don't you buy something else first?" ”
Martin shook his head, how can anything else be full?
He left the supermarket and headed for a large supermarket farther away.
But as soon as he arrived at the larger supermarket, Martin saw that the area where he bought food was surrounded by water, and as soon as Martin got closer, he heard a voice saying, "I'm sorry everyone, the grain has been sold out?" The bulk grain has also been sold out, do you want to go somewhere else to see? Or you can buy something else to top it up."
Gu Meow<spa>Martin frowned, and he didn't buy food in two supermarkets in a row, which made him feel a little uneasy.
After thinking about it, Martin didn't complain like the other customers, but ran straight to another place.
More than ten minutes later, Martin came to the destination, this is a wholesale market, said to be a wholesale market, in fact, it is a distribution center, Pandebi several administrative regions of the grain, vegetables, fruits and vegetables, are from this wholesale market to various supermarkets, hotels
Carefully avoiding the purchase trucks, Martin arrived at the grain wholesale center. When he came, there were already a lot of people gathered here, many of them wearing uniforms, with the words "so-and-so supermarket" and "so-and-so chain" printed on them.
The logistics staff of these supermarkets, hotels, and chain stores waved their lists and shouted non-stop, like a flock of ducks calling
"What's going on? We placed an order for 120 tons of grain the day before yesterday, why hasn't the goods arrived today? I've been parking my car here for a day, and the parking fee is hundreds. ”
"What the hell is wrong? Our leaders have already scolded me several times, and if I can't bring back the grain, I will be fired."
"Who isn't?"
A man in a suit came out and explained, "Everyone, everyone, please listen to me, we don't know what's wrong, so he just didn't send the food, maybe it has something to do with the war, right?" ”
When Martin heard this, his face changed, "There is no food even here"
Without saying a word, he immediately turned around and ran to the vegetable wholesale market next to him to order a cart of potatoes and call another car to help him transport them.
When it was shipped downstairs, Marcy, who was called down by Martin in advance, was stupid, "I asked you to buy food, why are you buying so many potatoes?" Can potatoes still be used as food? ”
"Hmph, I don't know, potatoes can really be used as food." Martin snorted, and then hurriedly said before Marcy got angry, "Don't talk about it, you and this driver quickly move these potatoes to the house, and I'm going to go to the supermarket to buy something again." ”
"Still buying? What to buy? ”
Martin looked serious: "What do you buy!" ”
Marcy was frightened.
Martin urged her again, and then went to the small supermarket downstairs himself.
As soon as he entered the supermarket, his complexion changed slightly, because many of the supermarket shelves had been emptied
Martin didn't say a word, and immediately joined the crowd of people rushing to buy.
Martin's experience is not a special case, as early as the number, some people have keenly noticed that there is less food circulating in the market.
This change is not a change in a certain region, everywhere, there is less food that can be bought!
It's just that everyone's eyes were attracted by the upcoming war at that time, and not many people took the news seriously at all.
On this day, there was no food in many places!
When the news of the food shortage in various places was gathered into Fang Yun's hands, the face of the minister of the prison country suddenly became extremely serious, and he immediately changed the time and said, "What about His Highness Taixia?" Isn't she supposed to be here to assist the Prime Minister of the Prison Country? What about people? ”
A group of officials around you, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are at a loss.
An official said, "It seems that I haven't seen His Highness Tessia for a day today." ”
Fang Yun's complexion changed again, and he immediately shouted, "Immediately ask His Highness Taixia to come and see me, quick!" ”
"Yes!"
The process of waiting was torturous, Fang Yun was very uneasy in his heart, such a big country, once the food was cut out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, when it comes to food, Nicholas VI has always put Tessia in charge, even if Fang Yungui is the prime minister, and now he is the minister of supervision, he doesn't know where the dynasty's grain goes.
Only when Tessia arrives will there be an answer.
but
After a while, the person sent out came back, "Xiangye, His Royal Highness Tessia is not in the palace. ”
"Not in the palace?" Fang Yun stood up suddenly, his voice was fierce, "Where did she go?" ”
The messenger said, "The subordinate has asked, and the people in His Highness's palace said that they had not seen His Highness early this morning."
Fang Yun's expression changed drastically, and a bad premonition surged in his heart, "Then don't you send someone to find it?!" Order the Imperial City Guards to bring His Highness Thesia back to me immediately, immediately. ”
"Yes!"
Fang Yun was still not at ease, and looked at the officials, "You, I don't care what method you use, no matter who you find, immediately get a batch of food for Ben Xiang to solve the urgent need, if you can do it, Ben Xiang will be rewarded, if you can't do it, don't be an official!" ”
The officials were silent: "Yes." ”
"And," Fang Yun said again, "report this matter to Your Majesty." ”
