In the City of Light, Andy learned that Ruo Bing's convoy was attacked and wiped out, Ruo Bing himself did not know where to go, and then he couldn't sleep well, so he sent a large number of people to look for it, but there was no news at all, until he received the news from Duke Victor, he knew that Lu Dao was originally taken captive by Ouyang Yu, and in this case, the series of events in the City of Light were also caused by her.

"Catherine, Catherine, Catherine......" Andy's body gushed out a strong might, and everyone nearby was shocked by this power and didn't dare to take a breath, "If you dare to let Ruobing lose a single hair, I will definitely break you into pieces!"

"Ahh......h You know the truth. After speaking, he stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and put it to his mouth and licked it.

Seeing Ouyang Yu's middle finger, Ruo Bing's body trembled, blushed, closed his eyes, and slowly opened his legs while lying on the sofa.

Back in the City of Light, Andy lost his temper and felt like he was leaving for the Kingdom of Kadesh but was stopped by Curtis, Curtis said: "Master Andy, now that the City of Light is in ruins, you can't go to the Kingdom of Kadesh. ”

"Tees, get out of the way!" Andy shouted his trusted subordinate and lover as he almost snarled.

"I won't let you, Young Master Andy, I know that Miss Ruobing is very important to you, she is very important to me and the City of Light, but you can't leave here now, a lot of reconstruction work requires your nod to be done. ”

"Yes. Andy's other cronie and lover Matilda also stood up and said: "Those hateful thieves may not be willing to come and steal the gold coins, if you leave, wouldn't it be in their hearts, so Master Andy, you can't leave!"

"Lord Andy!"

"Lord Andy!"

Seeing that his lover and subordinates were all dissuading him, Andy could only yell helplessly, "Ah......hhhhhh

Andy's subordinates, look at me, I see that none of you dare to say that I go, Ouyang Yu is similar to the Great Demon King in their minds, do you have any life to come back if you go to the Great Demon King?

"I'll go!" just as everyone hesitated, Curtis took the initiative to stand up and say loudly.

Andy smiled with relief: "I am relieved that Tis has your ingenuity, I hope that not only Ruobing can come back safely, but I also hope that you can also come back safely, Marty, you will take someone to protect Tis and go to the Kadesh Kingdom together, and rescue Ruobing safely together." ”

"Yes. ”×2。

Speaking of which, just when Andy's side decided to send Curtis and Matilda to rescue Ruobing, Ouyang Yu, who had returned to the Kadesh Kingdom, was also worried about something.

"Your Highness, the price of cereals has skyrocketed since half a month ago, from fifteen coppers a kilogram of grain to fifty-five coppers a kilogram of grain, an increase of three .six times, and now there are signs of rising, I heard that tomorrow the price of grain will rise to sixty coppers a kilogram, including vegetables, meat, eggs, The price of poultry and other food is also soaring, and it is said that there is a large shortage of daily necessities due to the destruction of the City of Light, and the price of daily necessities brought by merchants has not only risen sharply, but also that some civilians have gone bankrupt as a result, and the crime rate of some people who have taken risks in order not to go hungry and compete for daily necessities has also increased greatly. ”

"Your Highness, the merchants who often sell grain to our country have suddenly collectively raised the price of grain by a large margin, from ten copper per kilogram in the past to fifty copper per kilogram now, and all the grain we bought and put on the market at low prices was deliberately short-bought, so that the vast majority of the people did not buy low-priced grain at all. ”

"Your Highness, the city of Arubal has caused a riot due to a shortage of food and the mishandling of the local nobles, which has killed more than 300 people and injured thousands. ”

"Your Highness, the soldiers' salaries are not enough to buy the food and daily necessities needed by their families, and some soldiers desert to their families to work part-time jobs to earn money so that their families do not go hungry, and at the same time, there are imaginary soldiers stealing food from the barracks and sending them home in various military camps. ”

"Your Highness, there has also been a phenomenon of bribery and bribery solicitation among the officials at the grassroots level in order to obtain the money to buy enough food. ”

"Your Highness, because of the high price of food, many slave owners in various places have reduced the rations of slaves, while the slaves are still carrying out heavy labor, resulting in a large number of slave deaths, not only reducing the labor force, but also dozens of riots have occurred among slaves everywhere in order to survive, some slave owners have been killed, some civilians have been injured by mistake, and the escape of slaves in various places is increasing day by day, these people are all unstable factors, please send troops to exterminate them as soon as possible. ”

Within a few days after Ouyang Yu returned to the Kadesh Kingdom, a sudden food storm made her anxious, and the reports of her officials made her feel that this was a premeditated financial war.

"I know, you put down the documents first, and they all go out. Ouyang Yu sat behind the wide desk and waved his hand weakly, and Ruo Bing, who was serving on the side, was secretly refreshed in his heart, the "Harvest Operation" finally began to play a role.

"Call James. ”

James, the head of the Military Intelligence Agency, was outside, and when he heard the summons, he immediately walked into the office with a stack of materials in his hand.

"James, you should have known the matter for a long time, tell me what you know. ”

"Yes. James said without looking at the information: " After a secret investigation, although the grain in the territory of the southern nobles this year was not harvested, the yield was still good, and it was not harvested as they said, and the intelligence officers found in the investigation that the southern nobles not only confiscated a large amount of grain from the peasants, but also issued a gag order to them, not allowing them to disclose the grain output this year, if anyone said it, then the local lord would permanently take back the land he cultivated and drive out of the local area, and the peasants who were very dependent on the land did not dare to disobey the words of the local lord, lost the right to cultivate the land and were driven out of the local area to become homeless, so the outside world did not know the true situation of the road。 ”

James continued: " In addition, the southern aristocracy also sold the grain collected this year to foreign merchants, and then these foreign merchants sold the grain to us at a high price, and then the southern nobles and some northern nobles together maliciously bought the grain that we bought at a low price and put it on the market, and then sold it to the merchants again at a higher price, and those merchants sold it to us again, and so on, the government finances were greatly shorted because of the purchase of grain, and those nobles and merchants who maliciously bought and sold grain made a lot of money, artificially caused this food crisis, these people ...... These nobles and merchants who have made a fortune and who only benefit themselves are just some brutes! Do they know if they will starve to death many commoners and slaves in doing so?" said James, who was born as a commoner, and shouted angrily.

"Smack!" Ouyang Yu slapped his desk and stood up and walked around the office, thinking for a while, she ordered: "Convene an emergency cabinet meeting, all cabinet ministers must attend!"

"Yes. "In the next chapter, we will see how the iron fist of socialism and the people's democratic dictatorship have eliminated the lackeys of capitalism and the capitalists of all evils. (Laughs, I hope I pass the review.) ）
