Chapter 142: Food crisis

I walked out of Xinglong Military Academy, Liu Wei'an's excitement slowly receded, replaced by some I, whether from a humble school or a weird student, and an unreliable teacher, what he saw and heard gave him This kind of awkward feeling, don't go to a liar university, Liu Wei'an sighed slightly. If it was just cheating money, it would be fine. His current value is not bad for this tuition. The key is that his dreams are all Cast in it. When a very difficult thing is expected and it is suddenly very easy to solve, there will be some gains and losses.
I hope it won't be too disappointing tomorrow.
Successfully entering the university should have been celebrated, but now that I have lost that mind, I took a taxi and went straight home. When the door was opened, there were people in the house. Xu Ying, Zhou Jie, and Zhang Yan were all there. It was a surprise to see Liu Wei'an. This is not the case during the day and not the weekend.
"Liu Wei'an, where have you been?" Zhang Yan's mouth was the fastest.
"Liu Wei'an, why haven't you been working lately and aren't working?" Xu Ying looked at Liu Wei'an, but she knew that he used games as a profession and didn't go out during the day.
"Uh ... I sort of dealt with it a bit." Liu Wei'an took a moment and didn't say anything about entering the university. If Xu Ying was alone, he would say, but not too familiar with Zhou Jie and Zhang Yan. I don't want to talk. I wonder if the two women don't need to go to work, do they strike collectively. There is also Zhou Jie, who is rushed into the game by Zhang Yan every day to make money, even in the game. Is there a family meeting?
"The company's office is undergoing renovations, so it's three days off." Xu Ying seemed to see the doubts in Liu Wei'an's eyes and pointed to the sofa: "You just come back and sit down and chat."
Liu Wei'an changed a pair of slippers and sat next to Xu Ying. The weather was too hot. Unless he was forced to wear shoes, it was a crime to return with shoes.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's the Dragon Boat Festival right away. We're discussing how to play, Liu Wei'an, what suggestions do you have?" Zhang Yan looked at Liu Wei'an, and her peach-like eyes sparkled. She still had a good opinion of Liu Wei'an. Zhou Jie slipped his lips, and seemed rather dismissive of Liu Wei'an's joining.
The Dragon Boat Festival? Liu Wei'an is another one. This seems to be a very distant festival. The Dragon Boat Festival seems to be eating dumplings. It is a festival set in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan jumping across the river, but because of the end Due to the battle, this festival was repeatedly interrupted. With the improvement of living standards, this ancient festival was turned out again, but because the gap between the rich and the poor in the Han Dynasty was polarized, the poor even had a problem of eating and drinking. I haven't thought about any festivals, the previous festivals, there is only one Spring Festival that is integrated into the bones, the other festivals are all aristocratic things.
When it comes to eating, drinking, and playing, don't spend any money.When Zhou Yan, who has always been frugal, became generous, Liu Wei'an was a bit puzzled, but when he thought of the Dragon Boat Festival, he was also a bit emotional.
"Buy loquat leaves to wrap the loquat and eat."
"What kind of suggestion is this, Ye Ye doesn't want money?" Zhou Jie objected immediately.
"I will pay for it. Will you pack your sister-in-law?" Liu Wei'an glanced at Xu Ying, who was a little emotional, and she felt strange. She was not such a stingy person. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and Xu Ying was always wearing at home. At random, the top is a small strapless off-shoulder shirt, and the bottom is a floral skirt. The round and white shoulders are like white jade, with bright eyes and teeth, and still so beautiful, but between the eyebrows, there seems to be a hidden imperceptible anxiety.
"Atmospheric! However, Liu Wei'an, loquat leaves, and glutinous rice are not cheap. Are you sure you want to pay?" Zhang Yan said with a joke.
"Let's go together." Xu Ying interjected.
"It doesn't matter. Since it is an event, it must be rich to give money and to give it a force. I won't wrap my sister-in-law and have to give money. Don't hesitate. Everyone is so familiar. It's the same for anyone. Liu Wei'an smiled and didn't care.
"Okay, this time it's Liu Wei'an out. Next time, our husband and wife are out." Zhou Jie grabbed a loud voice in front of Xu Ying and decided happily. Zhang Yan quickly opened the tablet.
Today, shopping is basically based on online shopping.
Looking at the items in the mall, Liu Wei'an understood the meaning of Zhang Yan's not cheap. Loquat leaves, one piece of 16 copper plates, 300 pounds of glutinous rice, 300 pounds of red rice, red dates, peanuts, black beans, chestnut, etc., are basically hundreds of copper plates. Jin, of which lotus seeds are the most expensive, 1800 copper per pound. These can be used as dumpling fillings, and there are some dried fruits needed for the festival, such as pistachios, almonds, walnuts, and nuts. The price is basically more than 3,000 copper plates, which is scary and expensive. Such a price, if placed in the slave area, would be something that would not even be thought of.
"How did the price increase again?" Zhang Yan and Zou Mei said, "I saw glutinous rice for 296 copper a pound yesterday, and chestnut. I remember yesterday it was 265 copper a pound, but now it has risen to 270 copper a pound. This day, it is really impossible The price is getting higher and higher, and it is estimated that even the buns will not be able to eat. "
Four people buy it according to the amount of twelve or three mules of one person, about fifty mules, about five thousand copper plates. Plus some snacks, a checkout, 12653 copper plate.
"I heard my friends say that it seems that the recent poor harvest of grain has caused a flood or drought, and where chicken plague has happened, so the price of grain has increased." Zhou Jie said.
Liu Wei'an gave Xu Ying a thoughtful look, and it seemed that when Zhou Jie talked about 'chicken plague', her expression changed, and her gaze was fixed on the tablet computer. Although she only glanced at it, the prices of the items above were all Write it down. Compared with the previous one, although it can't be said to double, it has all significantly increased prices. Judging from Mars's always tight food situation, the news Zhou Jie said is not groundless.
Thinking of this, I ca n’t help worrying about it. Xinfeng City does n’t have to worry about it. No matter how the food crisis does, the city will not be in crisis. As long as you have money, you will definitely starve. In the slave area, his hard-earned foundation was not to be starved to death as soon as he got better, then he was wronged.
During this time, Times Square and Liu Wei'an basically maintained a telephone connection every two days to ensure that Liu Wei'an was able to keep up with Times Square's developments at any time. With a large amount of investment in human and material resources, Times Square has entered an era of rapid development, and changes can be described with each passing day.
Times Square is currently doing two things. One thing is the underground castle. Why build an underground castle? This is also no way. The state will not allow large-scale organizations to exist independently, even if it is just some slaves. Without organization and discipline, the state does not matter, but once it is controlled, it will definitely be hit by the state relentlessly. Today, Times Square controls about 30,000 slave cores and 30,000 peripherals, for a total of 60,000 troops. It is not eye-catching in the slave area with hundreds of thousands and millions of people, but the small number of people today does not mean that they will not be recruited in the future. It is necessary to plan ahead, and the underground castle can be used as a hidden number.
This is a security consideration.
The second thing is to build roads, build a road to the Mayan Empire. One day after the excavation of the garbage mountain, tens of thousands of slaves cannot be supported by Liu Wei'an alone, but the slave area has no resources. Xiaoyuan was exhausted, and finally thought of a way to make money.
The slave area is located in the middle of the three empires. No matter how bad the environment is in these three zones, the terrain is there and the transportation is convenient. The road has not been repaired for various reasons. Once it is repaired, it will inevitably become the main traffic link between the three empires. As long as a toll station is set up, it will be equal to an endless stream of money.
Although the plan is fraught with risks, after much consideration, Liu Wei'an agreed. Without him, there is no other way out.
The only role of slaves was to use cannon fodder on the battlefield. Now that the war has stopped, slaves have no place to use them. The second role is to mine. Unfortunately, the planets currently occupied by humans have no minerals. Third, do some of the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous work, such as clearing the sewers and exploring unknown areas, but you ca n’t use so many slaves. Slightly useful slaves have been picked away long ago, and the rest are left unattended. .
Therefore, slaves cannot find jobs, even if they don't need money, just for a meal, there are not so many jobs available to them.
As the only profitable project that can be conceived at present, Liu Wei'an has to bite his teeth even if the risk is great.
Relying on the benefits of garbage, Fang Xiaoyuan budgeted a little, and was able to persist until the road was repaired with a little balance. Speaking of this, I have to thank the tens of thousands of slaves in the slave area. In order to eat a full meal, they do not need to pay wages, regardless of their body. Many places where machinery can be used have been replaced by humans. The steps are all done by slaves, people are powerful, and speed is not much slower than machinery.
Although the food is not a small expense, it is much cheaper than using machinery completely. Among them, Zhao Kangcheng played a key role.
He did all the talents and equipment, but he did not lose money. In this era where even garbage is becoming increasingly expensive, dozens of cars per day in Times Square are imported, which makes him a lot of money in the waste industry. Status continues to rise.
Zhou Xingchen was promoted because of that massacre. He was a one-step ascendant from the chief of Taoist Section Chief, from being led to being a leader. Although he is still responsible for the goalkeeping, anyway, he is also the leader of more than a dozen people. .
With the promotion of his position, the authority has been increased. Under his operation, almost 50 core members of Times Square have applied for a certificate of entry into the city, and they have been separated from their slave status. From now on, people who can enter the city in a fair and honest manner are also possible.
This is why Zhou Xingchen is cautious. There are too many certificates for entering the city at one time, lest they attract the attention of interested people.
The slave area and the city must be linked. Although Zhao Kangcheng is helpful, after all, Zhao Kangcheng's identity is not simple. Some major events ask him to come forward, but some small things don't bother him, and it is necessary for someone to move in the city.
It wasn't until Liu Wei'an paid the money that Zhou Jie and Zhang Yan were relieved. They were worried that Liu Wei'an would see the price too high to pay.
Liu Wei'an ignored the two's careful thoughts and returned to the room. First, he checked the balance in his account. Thanks to Huang Shacheng for his emotions, and 1.3 billion copper plates. I figured out the phone.
"My son!" It was the hairy monkey who answered the phone. As the elite of the transport brigade, he became the first group of people to enter the city. He was promoted to captain because he was smart and capable.
The lineage man under the lion had always called Liu Wei'an an eunuch, but Liu Wei'an disagreed, so he became a son.
"Purchase food!" Liu Wei'an's order was only four words, no extra words.
When the hairy monkey opened the phone and looked at the series of numbers on the bank card prompt message, he almost dazzled his eyes, and counted it several times before he figured out exactly how many zeros, 1.3 billion. He had never seen so much money in his life. . Although he did not understand why Liu Wei'an issued the order, he executed the order unconditionally.
It's more than 12 o'clock in the afternoon, which is exactly the place to eat at home. Anyuan City and several surrounding cities, rice shops, pasta shops, wholesale supermarkets, department stores, etc. There are some mysterious characters. The cart was delivered to the trailer, and the cashier could not scan it.
The trailer full of goods directly went to the gate at the border between Anyuan and the slave area. Zhou Xingchen, who had been notified by Liu Wei'an by phone, was not blocked and was released directly.
The trailer drove out of the city gate, changed its car with another batch of trailers waiting outside the gate, a batch of empty vehicles entered the city, and a large trailer full of food rushed to Times Square. Times Square originally had only dozens of scrapped cars. Later, because of frequent transfers, it bought more than 50 new cars in one go.
Scrap cars cannot enter the city, and every equipment purchased is transferred at the gate of the city.
Just over 50 of the core members' entry certificates were obtained ~ EbookFREE.me ~, so they bought another 50 trailers in one breath, so that they could live in the city.
Counting it out, plus scrapped cars, there are almost 152 cars in Times Square. However, these two big purchases of cars almost also exhausted the savings of Times Square.
The large-scale food rush operation quickly attracted the attention of many people. Many citizens joined the rush, and everyone was blind. Once someone took the lead, someone would follow suit. At this time, the food crisis and the chicken plague incident were exploded. The panic spread at an alarming rate, and most of the province of Tianfeng was caught in a storm of buying food.
Food shortages on Mars are as severe as water shortages. It has always been a topic of intimacy. At night, the entire Han Dynasty had fallen into a wave of food purchases. The prices of various foods skyrocketed. Even so, it was not enough to stop the citizens from worrying. The mood, the supermarket's merchandise are swept away, the wholesale market items are all emptied, small department stores, restaurants, hotels ... Wherever there is food, people are flooded. People who grab the food are afraid that they are not enough, and those who do not grab it are extremely anxious.
"Who is it, and who is it? The news leaked?" Tianfeng, the deputy governor in charge of grain, was furious.
