Chapter Thirty-Eight: Blizzard

"Brother, what are you doing here, making such a mess of the room?"

As soon as Jiayi's card was made, Cargill pushed the door in.

Recently, in order to make cards, Kaichi's room is really messy, because the road is closed by heavy snow, so Kaichi didn't go to the laboratory in Linden Matsudani to make cards, anyway, it's not difficult for him to make cards, it's the same everywhere.

When he is at home, his family usually does not disturb him.

It's just that these cards are finished, and his room is full of waste paper, and there are a lot of soaked card solutions spilled on his desk.

On Jiayi's table was a small rune circle, and the top of the circle was filled with cards one after another, the surface of these cards was brushed with a layer of special glue by Jiayi to protect the cards from wear and tear, and the circle below was used to dry.

Kaichi stopped what he was doing and said, "Make some more interesting things, it will be ready soon, and I will give you a demonstration when the time comes." ”

After speaking, he looked at the light sweat on Cargill's face and asked, "Did you go to exercise?" ”

Recently, because of the heavy snowfall, Cargill didn't go to the Cavaliers for exercise, and now it's close to the Meng Spring Festival, so he went on vacation directly.

Cargill shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to buy flour, the snow has stopped, but there isn't much flour in the house, so I asked my mother to let me buy some flour." This time, the price of flour has risen a lot, and you say that the snow is so heavy, will it cause a snow disaster? Now the price of grain in the town has increased completely. ”

Because he is determined to become a knight and eventually become a nobleman, Cargill still has some understanding of people's livelihood, and Jiayi will guide the other party when he is free.

In particular, the snow disaster has led to poor transportation, and the food in the town is limited, which will lead to the increase in food prices, and then limit purchases, rush to buy, reluctant to sell, and then increase prices, a series of cycles down, it is likely to cause civil unrest, so Cargill is a little worried.

Although it was not his turn to take care of this, he couldn't help but bring it in, what should he do if he encountered this problem himself.

Kaichi finished what he was doing, and then came to the door, the snow had stopped now, but the road was not clear, and even if the yard was cleaned frequently, there was snow close to the instep. The snow on the roof is thicker, and in order to prevent the snow from collapsing the roof, Cargill has been on the roof more than once in the past few days to push the snow down.

"There's a granary in the town, and as long as Sainsbury takes care of it promptly, there will be no problem. Kaichi looked up at the weather, "Sainsbury is not a short-sighted person, he will handle it." ”

Although the heavy snow is a disaster, but in fact, the people in the countryside are okay, their food is stored at home, only the people in the town, the family does not necessarily have much food, if the heavy snow really becomes a disaster, then it is very easy to cause panic buying.

This kind of thing is actually not difficult to solve, as long as there is enough food supply, and in addition to the severe crackdown on price gouging, it is fine, but it is easy to say, it is not easy to really have enough food.

Sainz Town is already very good, the town has developed very well in recent years, so there are a lot of food reserves, but as a small town, food reserves are limited after all, and Jia Yi doesn't know how long he can supply if he keeps supply.

And not all lords care much about the public opinion in their territory, this is a world with extraordinary powers, and it is almost impossible for the poor to overthrow the lord and ascend the throne. Even in China, more than 2,200 years before Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted "the prince will Xiangning have a kind" to Jiayi, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Taizu of this dynasty can establish a dynasty as commoners.

For many lords, such a snowy weather is a good time to make a fortune with the merchants, even if the people below are dissatisfied, they are helpless after all.

Fortunately, the lord of the Cyber Territory is not such a short-sighted person, and at noon, Cargill was called by the Lord's Mansion and began to go to the streets to maintain order, and at the same time, the knights in the territory led the team to visit various businesses one by one, although they did not say anything serious, but the meaning of the warning was overflowing.

Fortunately, although the grain merchants in the territory began to raise the price of grain, it was not to the point of reluctance to sell, so everything was quite harmonious.

And there will be heavy snow every winter, and everyone is used to it, but I didn't expect that the first snow this year was so big that people were caught off guard.

At this time, the lord's mansion also opened its own granary and began to sell grain to the people in the town, and the price was about the same as that of the major grain merchants, a little lower.

The lord didn't dare to go too far, there was nothing public about the things in the territory, like the granary of the state in ancient China, but here, everything belonged to the lord, it was the lord's private property, and it was impossible for them to lose their interests.

And the lord didn't dare to offend the grain merchants too ruthlessly, most of the merchants in the territory were inextricably linked with the nobles, and most of these nobles still had in-laws with each other, and the lords also had scruples about them, and they had to take care of the feelings of their relatives.

Not long after Cargill left, Flower came running over, still holding a roll in his hand, this time he didn't bring his wife, he came alone.

After seeing him, Jia Yi felt a little strange: "Why do you have time to come to my side, the snow is so big, shouldn't you help your father deal with the snow disaster?"

Flower said indifferently: "What kind of snow is this bit of snow, how can my dad deal with it, don't you see Cargill and they have started to take to the streets to keep it going? As long as the snow doesn't continue to fall, there will be no problem." ”

As he spoke, Flower looked at Jia Yi's eyes and said, "You are now a white-robed mage, you should have some understanding of prophecy spells, why don't you predict the weather behind, if this snow can stop like this, it can also make my father feel at ease, if the snow continues to fall, I'm afraid I will have to find a way to transfer food back from elsewhere." ”

What Flower said was very right, but Jiayi's face was dark, God knows how bad his prophetic spells are, it is better to rely on his language to let him look at the weather, and recite two sentences "The morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles".

"Magic is not omnipotent, especially any prophecy spells, they are all used to fool fools like you, you still believe this, it is better to let your father prepare more, take advantage of the snow to stop now, prepare more food, and then stabilize prices to ensure stability in the town. ”

To say that the prophetic spells that predict the weather are relatively accurate spells, they don't seem to be the style of prophetic spells, and they don't even need to be in modern times, even in the daily life of ancient people, they have also summed up a lot of laws about the weather.

But Jia Yi didn't know what was going on, maybe it was because he was subconsciously resistant to prophetic spells, which caused him not only to be unskilled in other prophetic spells, but also to simply predict the weather.

Flower asked him, as if he was blind, and that's why he said that.

"Of course my father would have prepared for this, and I didn't come to you today for this matter," said Flower. The city planning you talked about last time, I went back to my father to talk about it, it is indeed a good idea, but there is not much clue about how the city should be planned, if you follow the scribble, but there is no ability to realize it after drawing, isn't this a waste, the drawings are useless, and although the family has made some money over the years, but the construction of the city is already cramped, if the planning is too big and complete, it is meaningless. ”

Jia Yi said: "Planning, of course, is based on the actual situation, otherwise there is no way to talk about the so-called planning, it is called fantasy." And we don't need to achieve it all at once, we can do a few years to plan it out, for example, 5 years, step by step, you want to achieve it in one step. ”

"Okay, I've got some of my thoughts, let's see how it goes, and give me some advice. ”

As she spoke, Flower pulled out a small stack of papers from the roll and found a place to spread it out.
