Transcendent Ember

Chapter 647 Food Crisis
boom!
The Nicholas Dynasty, Dongyue Province, the battle preparation camp.

The angry Nicholas VI smashed a sand table with a slap, and the dust flew everywhere.

"Your Majesty?" Chitauri was taken aback, his face was blank, what's the matter?When I was doing war games just now, I was fine, and even praised me, why did I get so angry after reading a letter?

"Your Majesty, what was written in the letter?" Zaronleaf asked boldly. After Ross fell from power, he had a faint tendency to become the new leader of the nobles. This time Nicholas VI's imperial conquest also brought him along.

Nicholas VI did not speak, but threw the tablet to Zaronleaf. The latter took a look and saw a letter from Penderby, and the content of the letter made Zaronleaf more and more startled. :

"The whole territory is out of food? His Royal Highness Taisia ​​is missing? How... how did this happen?"

"The whole territory is out of food?" In the big camp, a group of generals were stunned by this sentence, and then their expressions changed. They knew what it meant to be out of food.

The Nicholas dynasty had a population of hundreds of millions, and once there was a food shortage, it would be a huge disaster.

Although having the extraordinary ability to produce and induce labor can produce a batch of food in a short period of time, to meet the needs of hundreds of millions of people, even the sixth-grade superhuman can only do nothing.
Nicholas VI's face was cloudy and sunny. At this moment, he remembered Carl's reminder, the granary in Mobile City was burned down, and Jiang Heng presided over the smoking ban in Gu Yue Kingdom
All the clues gathered in his mind and connected into a clear clue. Nicholas VI clenched his fists and looked towards the direction of Xishan Province with lightning-like eyes, as if he squeezed out two words from his teeth: "Jiang Constant!"

"Jiang Heng? The Minister of Agriculture of Gu Yue Kingdom who presided over the ban on smoking?" Chitarui was taken aback, "Your Majesty, could it be that he was responsible for this matter?"

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, please let the minister lead his troops to Yujing, cut off Jiang Heng's head, and use it as a chamber pot for Your Majesty!" said the general named Luo Su.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Jiang Heng is too deceitful. He not only bans the cigarettes of the dynasty, but also dares to cut off the food of the dynasty. This enmity is irreconcilable. As long as His Majesty gives an order, the ministers will definitely give Jiang Heng's head to His Majesty." Vent your anger."

"Yes, Your Majesty, give the order!"

A group of officers stared at Nicholas VI eagerly, waiting for the latter's order to lead the army to expand the territory.

But at this time, a pot of cold water poured down, and it was Howard, the logistics officer: "Marshals, how long will it take you to reach Yujing? The food here cannot support a long war."

"Don't worry." Chitauri said, "The army is full of extraordinary creatures. It's okay to go without food for ten days and half a month. It won't consume much food."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zaronleaf echoed.

"What about the rear?" Howard asked back, "If it is true that the food shortage in the whole territory is true, then within three days, the people will not have enough to eat, and chaos will break out. At that time, the soldiers will worry about their families, and the army will inevitably be in chaos. Is there a chance?"

"Uh" all the officers were dumbfounded.

The honest-looking Howard looked at Nicholas VI: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Taisia ​​has always been in charge of the matter of food, right? If His Highness Taisia ​​really disappeared, then it is certain that the enemy has not left us a single grain of excess food , this battle is not easy to fight!"

Nicholas VI frowned, why didn't he know this?But now that he has reached this point, he doesn't want to stop there.

"Chitauri, tell me, how long will it take to completely defeat Gu Yue Kingdom?"

Chitarui frowned and thought for a while, then responded cautiously: "Your Majesty, because Li Luo and Qin Huaimin have been fighting each other in Gu Yue State for a few years ago, opium was excluded from the army, which led to Gu Yue State's The combat power of the army is still online.

"Although the Flame Demon King and the army of alien beasts have caused great losses to the army of the Ancient Moon Kingdom, this kind of loss has not yet reached the point of breaking the bones.

"In addition to the fact that Li Luo has been replenishing troops during this period, it is estimated that Gu Yue Kingdom still has at least 80 to [-] troops.

"It will take at least half a year to completely defeat them, and the premise is that more than 80.00% of the dynasty's troops must be invested, and the two holy knights must also participate in the battle."

The answer of half a year made Nicholas VI very dissatisfied. If there was no food crisis, let alone half a year, he could afford to wait a year, but
For a moment, Nicholas VI's eyes fluctuated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the Internet, the news that the Nicholas dynasty was running out of food everywhere finally overwhelmed the upcoming war between the two countries and became the hottest news.

Many netizens of the Nicholas dynasty asked anxiously and dissatisfiedly:
"What about the food? Where did our food go?"

"I ran all over the supermarkets in the city, but I couldn't find a bag of food. In the end, I only bought some puffed food. I was very worried. What should I do after I finished eating these puffed food?"

"I didn't even buy puffed food. By the time I realized it, the supermarket had been emptied. I'm so hungry now, who will help me?"

"What should I do? Where did the damn food go?"

When the netizens of Gu Yueguo heard the news, they burst out with incomparable excitement as if it was New Year's Eve.

"Hahahaha, this is the way of heaven and good reincarnation!"

"The Nicholas dynasty has done a lot of evil, and finally there is retribution."

"Who told you all to take the land to grow opium, are you dumbfounded?"

"Deserved!"

Netizens in the Caesar Dynasty and the Hongji Kingdom were not under the pressure of war, so they had time to do research. When they collected information from all parties, they concluded that the person manipulating the grain market today is Jiang Heng.

"Jiang Heng?" This result surprised many people.

The netizens of Gu Yueguo were even more pleasantly surprised: "It's Earl Jiang Heng? It's him who is protecting us!"

"It turned out to be him, no wonder, no wonder he has the confidence to ban smoking."

"It seems that Your Excellency Jiang Heng has been planning for many years to ban smoking..."

"That's great, it's really great, I didn't expect Gu Yue Kingdom to have such a capable minister."

……

Countless people left messages under Jiang Heng's personal account, asking if he was responsible for the food crisis in the Nicholas dynasty.

Jiang Heng didn't hide it, and spoke for the first time about the situation between the two countries:
"In view of the brutal interference of the Nicholas Dynasty in our country's internal affairs and a series of improper military operations launched by it, it is proposed to suspend the sale of grain to the Nicholas Dynasty, and the time to resume sales is to be determined..."

boom!
One stone stirred up waves, and Jiang Heng's speech inspired countless people in Gu Yue Kingdom. Of course, it also angered the netizens of the Nicholas Dynasty. The two sides scolded each other under Jiang Heng's personal account.

Not long after, Jiang Heng spoke again: "We call on everyone to oppose the bad behavior of the Nicholas dynasty exporting opium and launching wars. Any country, organization, or individual has the behavior of selling food to the Nicholas dynasty or taking advantage of the chaos to harass the ancient moon country. , will inevitably lead to severe food sanctions, not to mention unexpected.”

This speech disappointed Qin Ziyu who was far away in Hongji country.

He originally wanted to persuade Emperor Canghong to take this opportunity to send troops to Gu Yue Kingdom to help him bring down Li Luo, but when Jiang Heng's words came out, Qin Ziyu knew it was impossible...

Although there is no shortage of food in the Hongji country, Jiang Heng holds most of the voice in the international grain market. As long as he thinks about it, he can deal a huge blow to the agricultural field of the Hongji country.

Emperor Canghong will definitely not take this risk...

"Jiang Heng..." Qin Ziyu shrank his pupils and murmured, "I really didn't realize that this Jiang Heng did so many things in silence..."

Just when Qin Ziyu was sighing, Jiang Heng spoke for the third time: "Put an advertisement, we are looking for extraordinary doctors from all over the world, and work together to discuss the treatment of smoking addiction. Anyone who contributes will be rewarded."

"Heh." Qin Ziyu laughed out loud, "It seems that Jiang Heng doesn't take Nicholas VI seriously at all, and focuses on the ban on smoking."

…………

…………

"Is this what you want?" In a small county town, Taisia ​​in the car saw worried people lined up outside one store after another, but they couldn't buy a single grain.

She also saw a group of people fighting over a package of junk food...

The entire street was filled with roars of men, screams of women, and crying of children.

Taisia ​​looked at Zhang Jichuan coldly with a frosty face: "Is this what you want?"

Zhang Jichuan also looked at her: "Your Highness, don't forget, why did this scene happen? It's because your father deployed 50 soldiers on the border between the two countries, trying to start a war!
"Does Your Highness think that after the war breaks out, the situation in Gu Yue Kingdom will be better than here?
"If Your Highness thinks so, please explain this..."

As he said that, Zhang Jichuan turned on his phone, and a recruitment page was displayed on the screen, and the recruits were... mercenaries!

A mercenary who followed the army to the Ancient Moon Kingdom to rob!

And on the page, the number of applicants displayed has exceeded 30...

Taisia ​​bit her lip, of course she knew that once the war broke out, the situation in Gu Yue Kingdom would only be worse than here.

"And..." Zhang Jichuan continued, "Your Highness, you shouldn't ask me the question you just asked, you should ask your father, you should ask those nobles, and those opium growers.

"They obviously have fertile land and can produce a lot of food, but they insist on growing opium, which is harmful to people...

"This kind of behavior is not only bad, but also stupid. Even without Jiang Heng, Zhang Heng, Li Heng, Wang Heng, and Liu Heng would think of using this to deal with them.

"Even without these man-made disasters, once a natural disaster breaks out one day, do you think their end will be better than now?

"Your Highness, it is their own selfishness, indifference and short-sightedness that caused the current situation. You should ask them, is this what they want?"
