Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 793 People are stupid and have more money
Victoria's winter is indeed very long, but just like Verin said, no matter how cold it is, winter will pass sooner or later.

It's just that when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, things may have changed.

Xia Feng had never felt so irritable during his stay in Londinium. It was like putting a tiger in a zoo. Although it was still the king of beasts, it was bound by chains.

Now that he was finally out of Wang Zheng's radiation range, he immediately felt refreshed.

A few days later, Aguang drove the car back to Harpi City.

Xia Feng had already told everyone on the telegram that he had resigned from the Supervisory Office, and knowing that he would be home today, the little ones had already waited in front of the barbecue shop.

As soon as the vehicle drove into the Guilt block, Xia Feng saw a wisp of green smoke floating into the sky. It should be that the coals used for Ifrit's barbecue were damp.

A few minutes later, the vehicle stopped in front of the barbecue restaurant.

Guigui, wearing a green padded jacket, bounced up to meet him.

"Big windmill, why did you arrive? I've been waiting for you all morning."

Xia Feng got out of the car and touched her little head.

"Awaited."

In front of the barbecue stove at the door, Ifrit said while poking coal balls.

"It's not long at all. I haven't started the fire yet. Hey, I guess I won't be able to eat at noon. Damn it, I really want to smash this broken barbecue pit."

At this time, Yaxin's voice came from the roof of the barbecue restaurant.

"Why didn't you bring the beauty back this time?"

Looking up, Xia Feng saw Ya Xin squatting on the edge of the eaves with a smile on his face.

"Don't climb so high, there is snow on the roof, what if you accidentally fall down?"

"It's okay, I never fell when I climbed."

"Didn't Master Xiao make a climbing frame for you in the yard?"

"Tch, that one is too short and has no strength at all."

At this time, Guigui who was standing in front of the car door suddenly caught sight of the doll on the back seat.

"Wow, Big Windmill, you even brought me a present!"

Xia Feng's expression froze for a moment.

"No"

"Take it out, it's a tortoise, I like tortoises the most!"

With gloomy eyes, Xia Feng took out the doll on the back seat and handed it to Guigui.

Guigui first hugged it fiercely in his arms and rubbed it, then he lifted it up and looked at it carefully.

"Huh? This doll. It seems to be. Why do I seem to remember it, but I can't remember it."

Xia Feng exhaled, pretending to be relaxed, hooked Guigui's shoulders and walked towards the shop, talking while walking.

"Tuigui, a few months ago, you exchanged toys with an infected little sister, don't you remember?"

"Ah! I seem to remember."

"Well, this is the doll you gave her at that time."

"What about her?"

Xia Feng raised his head, his voice was a bit bleak.

"She went to a place far away, where there are many toys, so she asked me to return this toy to you."

Turtle hugged the tortoise doll and nodded.

"Oh, that's really nice."

"kindness."

The short absence did not make Xia Feng feel unfamiliar, on the contrary, the barbecue shop was his familiar home.

After he came back, all the members seemed to have a backbone, and even the full-time cook Snow Monster No. [-] was ready to stir-fry.

Xia Feng's character has always been vigorous and resolute, as long as he thinks of something, he will immediately start to deal with it. With him in charge of the overall situation, Hei Yu's various businesses have been upgraded to a higher level in an instant.

Because he is very familiar with the attitude of the empire, he must now prepare for the worst-case scenario. The first thing to do is to reserve.

There are many things that need to be saved at present, the most important of which is money.

Terracoin is the currency that circulates all over the world. To be on the safe side, Xia Feng asked Nancy to keep a small amount of liquidity, and transferred all the rest to Longmen Bank and the National Reserve Bank of Colombia.

Of course, money is just a number, not the most "hard core" bargaining chip in a chaotic period.

If there is one thing that preserves the most value in the world of Terra, there is undoubtedly only one thing, the origin stone.

Taking advantage of the calm period before the storm, Xia Feng purchased several pieces of natural disaster information from Penguin Logistics, striving to process and store the most origin stones in the shortest possible time.

In addition to the origin stone, he also asked Nanfeng of Notting City to order all the business distribution points of the chamber of commerce to start purchasing large quantities of grains and foods with a long shelf life.

Victoria is not a big grain-producing country. If possible, it is best to import from abroad.

Of course, there is no precise purpose for storing food. The current south is relatively stable. Even if the same tense situation as in the north occurs in the future, there is a high probability that there will be no food shortage.

But it never hurts to be prepared.

Now he is almost on the verge of "tearing face" with the empire, at most separated by a layer of window paper.

It's just that there is no convincing justification for the empire to deal with him, and now the Yuan Council is focusing on targeting the infected.

It is preliminarily speculated that after the rectification of infected people is over, Kuroyu's situation in Victoria will encounter a crisis, including the light manganese mining area in Harpi City, and it is inevitable that a new nobleman will be assigned to take over.

But will this turmoil really end easily?
Xia Feng did some calculations, and the funds in his hands are very sufficient at present, it is not an exaggeration to call Heiyu's peak period.

In this case, except for the "old capital" stored in foreign banks for insurance purposes, he can use the money on the "knife edge" without any scruples.

And in this situation, no one will supervise a private chamber of commerce. If you really want to talk about supervision, there are supervisors from the border military region in his old den.

It's just that, as a supervisor, Meisha is also helping him with housework.

According to Xia Feng's request, the news of the harvest spread quickly.

The purchase price of Heiyu was very high, and some small nobles in the southern region who were entrusted with small towns immediately smelled the taste of profit.

These nobles knew that Xia Feng was "expelled" by the Yuan Council as a nobleman. At the same time, they were also very clear about the empire's decision-making.

Anyone with a discerning eye can now see that the empire's decision to reduce the number of infected people is not a superficial effort, but a hard-core national policy that is efficiently implemented. According to this trend, it will be a matter of time before the south is affected.

In the eyes of these nobles, this kind of thing is as simple as clearing the snow in their yards for the army. You can keep as much as you want, and drive as much as you want.

Well, under this trend, the Black Feather Merchant Guild began to collect grain at a high price, and it must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

According to the statistics of the Imperial Civil Affairs Office, the number of infected people in the south is much higher than that in the north, and illegal residents account for a large proportion.

Once the "rectification" storm spreads to the south, a large number of illegally infected people will be deported, in other words, the population will decrease.

The number of people will decrease, but the land will not move, and the food planted on it will be sown and harvested as usual.

Planting grain is different from mining. It does not require any cheap labor, and the planting technology and advanced equipment are also perfect. That is to say, the reduction of infected people will not affect the production of grain.

Then, when the population will decrease and the food will increase, the price will definitely only decrease for a period of time.

Because of their trust in the empire and their smart market estimates, these nobles who owned large tracts of land and hoarded a large amount of food took the initiative to come to the door.

Facing the extremely high purchase price, these nobles narrowed their smiling eyes, wishing they could even empty out the rice jars in their kitchens, and even sell the rice for dinner to Xia Feng, who took advantage of it.
