Chapter 92: Food Crisis
"Actually, the immortals in my hands are not too drunk, probably only these dozens of altars."
Victor waved his hand, looking indifferent.
"After all, Baron Victor, but General York's younger brother, isn't it normal to buy some drinks?"
"That's right, I don't know what Jiang Hao and Lord Victor are fighting about, it's not on the same level at all."
"If only I had an older brother like Lord York, Yorktown would be very stable in the future."
……
The mayors around him also complimented him, and he was very proud.
"During this time, there are people in our town who buy food at a high price, do you know about this?"
Old Hans spoke suddenly, and the crowd fell silent.
"What a coincidence, so is our town."
"Are you all?"
Speaking of this, several lords were very surprised.
"It seems that someone needs food, which is half the market price, but we have made a lot of money."
Victor was also a little happy in his heart, so he interjected.
"Actually, this matter is quite strange, and I still have a heart."
Delsi said suddenly.
"There is no such thing as food in Moonlight City, and after I learned about it, I collected the grain in the hands of the townspeople and farmers under my command."
"I sold the grain to the grain merchant first, and then I went to Moonlight City to buy a lot."
"Probably they will be able to come back today, and they can make a lot of money by buying low and selling high."
Victor said proudly.
Just as the lords were chatting and laughing here, there was a sudden commotion outside.
One of the guards also hurriedly walked in, his face seemed to be a little anxious.
"My lord, there are a lot of people out there now, saying that they want to buy food from us."
When the guard stepped forward, he said straightforwardly.
"Buying food? What's the situation? ”
After hearing this, Victor was still a little puzzled for a while.
"Now there is a rumor outside, saying that there is no food in the current territory, and there is also a shortage of food in Moonlight City."
The guard hurriedly said.
"You tell the gang of people outside, don't worry, when the evening comes, the food from Moonlight City will be delivered, and it's not that there is nothing to eat, why are they in a hurry?"
Victor said rather nonchalantly.
"Not only is there a shortage of grain, but most of the places in the city are already planted with high-yield cotton, and once the autumn harvest comes, there will definitely be no enough food."
"Our food team has actually returned, but we haven't come back with food."
The guard replied awkwardly.
When Victor heard this, the expression on his face instantly stiffened.
If these three things add up, they can indeed cause a certain amount of panic.
His heart tightened slightly, and after saying hello to these lords around him, he hurried out.
The surrounding lords were still at a loss at this time, and they didn't know what was going on.
By the time Victor reached the gate, he could already hear the commotion outside.
At this time, there are many people holding signs in their hands, and they are all noisily buying food.
The people themselves depend on food, and this is especially true in this day and age.
If it were any other rumors, perhaps the peasants and townspeople would have been able to endure it.
But once the rumor of lack of food spread, it was already their hearts.
In addition, the grain team that came back today did not bring back a single grain of grain, which exacerbated this panic.
And in the crowd, there are also some people who specialize in rhythm.
These people are shouting corresponding slogans and saying alarmist words.
In this case, many people are also extremely anxious in their hearts.
"Are you arguing about something?"
Victor looked at the townsfolk and frowned.
"My lord, my family has no food, didn't you say before that you could return the food to us?"
In the crowd, someone asked loudly.
"That's right, I don't have a pot in my house today."
"My lord, there are a lot of rumors out there right now, are those rumors true?"
"We have now planted all the cotton, the spring planting has passed, and if we want to continue to grow wheat, it is almost impossible."
……
The lords, who used to be obedient, were already howling loudly at this time.
"Don't worry, I will naturally give you the food, now you go back first, I can go to the nearby town to buy it."
Victor comforted the people in front of him and continued.
After hearing these words, the townspeople still did not leave.
They've seen a lot of pie paintings, but they're still hungry, so they have to stay here anyway.
Seeing that these lords had not left, a trace of gloom appeared in Victor's eyes.
He waved his hand violently and shouted: "Guards, arrest these people for me!" ”
He originally wanted to threaten these people with these words.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I said it, I was already met with a fierce backlash from them.
One by one, they began to rush into the guards in front of them, looking like they wanted to rush into the lord's castle.
The people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death.
After the exaggeration of those rumors a few days ago, in fact, most of the homeless people have already believed this matter.
Victor didn't want to care about these things at all, and instead mobilized more guards to suppress them.
Just as he was about to walk back to the castle, he found that several lords inside had rushed out in a hurry, wanting to return to the territory first.
When I asked them clearly, I found that their reasons were the same as my own.
The people in their town also had a riot about food.
You must know that such a riot, if it cannot be quelled, will only intensify in the future.
In the town, there is no food left.
If you want to buy from other towns, it's spring, and most of the grain won't be sold.
"Why can't I buy food in Moonlight City?"
The more Victor thought about it, the more he had a headache, and looked at the returning caravan.
"The businesses in Moonlight City are all controlled by the Moonlight Auction House, and it is said that this matter has something to do with the Moonlight Auction House, and they are not allowed to sell grain to us."
"However, those people in the grain market said that the lord of Flower Town bought a large amount of grain some time ago, which is enough for several towns."
The caravan manager who came back said helplessly.
