Warlord: King of All Clans

As soon as Rigolav said this, even Leo felt that the people of Hewan were starting to pretend.

Since when did the attack by the Earl's forces no longer matter? This is not a good trend!

Leo asked speechlessly: "If this is not a big deal, then what is a big deal?"

Rigolav said, "Oh," and said, "There is something important that I am afraid will affect your military operations, so I will just wait until you come back and talk about it."

As he spoke, he took out a copy of the official River Bend newspaper. Leo opened it and saw that it was the latest one.

This is the internal bulletin of the River Bay Lord's Mansion. It is not released to the public and is only circulated within the system.

The huge headline on the front page has each letter standing out.

Production accident at the cassava flour processing plant in Hekou Town!

Twenty tar cassava flour was not detoxified before being sold and almost flowed out of the river mouth, but fortunately it was recovered in time.

The detoxification workshop committed a collective crime, twenty people were dismissed from their jobs and their homes were confiscated, and twelve people were hanged!

Leo's face was solemn and his tone was angry. He asked while reading the newspaper: "Where is Rambo Rabbit?"

Leo is well aware of the evil in human nature. Cassava, a food that can poison people, can lead to disasters if handled with the slightest mistake, so food safety in Hewan has always been his top priority.

The cassava processing factory in Hekou Town is the largest potato starch processing base in the entire Hewan, producing half of the potato starch in the entire Hewan. It has now met domestic demand and has begun to be exported overseas.

Leo doesn't trust others, so the cassava processing factory has always been managed by Olivia's dog son, the second Rambo Rabbit.

This dog who had followed Leo to build the river mouth town in the early days wasn't as smart as Nairn, and was even a little stupid, but at least his loyalty was unquestionable, and there was no need to worry about him being corrupt and abusing the law like humans.

Rigolav consoled him, "It was Rambo Rabbit who discovered it. He immediately stopped production, took back the cassava flour he had sold, and notified Olivia to impose a lockdown on the entire territory. That’s why a disaster was not caused."

Leo felt a little better. After reading the entire report, he finally understood the whole story.

The earliest cassava flour processing factory in Hekou Town had simple procedures and crude workmanship, and the output was not large. A two-pound silver plate could be used for more than half a year.

Now the entire cassava flour processing plant has been upgraded and its production capacity has increased a hundredfold. All the wild-collected and professionally grown antler cassava from the surrounding thousands of square kilometers are sent here for processing.

The original ten silver plates were not enough, so they were replaced with one hundred five-pound silver propeller blades.

The entire detoxification workshop has also developed from a single soaking pool to a filtration pool, detoxification pool, static pool and other detailed process links.

These silver propeller blades rotate with the water flow in the large cassava pulp detoxification pool, stirring slowly and continuously to fully detoxify the cassava pulp.

However, the silver propeller blades that have absorbed toxins will turn black and oxidize and lose their effectiveness, so they need to be removed and tempered regularly.

Five hundred pounds of silver is absolutely an unattainable wealth for ordinary people!

The greedy workshop director, in cooperation with the workshop workers, began to seize the silver.

They enrich themselves by reducing the frequency of blade replacement and increasing the blade's fire consumption.

In order to ensure that the cassava flour is completely detoxified, Hewan’s detoxification process is excessive, and no one noticed it at the beginning.

The loss of silver in the detoxification pool is not serious, and such a small amount of embezzlement is far from satisfying people's greed.

As people in the detoxification workshop became more and more brazen, they even started stealing silver paddles to sell, and the quality of the cassava flour they produced became worse and worse.

By the time Rambo Rabbit discovered this, the toxicity of cassava flour had reached the point where it could kill people.

These poisonous potato powders almost managed to deceive the factory manager Rambo Rabbit and enter the market.

Unfortunately, although Rambo Rabbit is stupid, he knows that he is stupid, so in addition to the supervisory team of the River Bay Lord's Mansion, he also uses his own salary to support more than a dozen little friends.

More than a dozen dogs who have received professional training from him are active in every workshop of the cassava flour processing factory. Their job is to eat, drink and play, and help Rambo Rabbit check the cassava flour shipped out of the Hekou Town wharf.

The dog knew there was something wrong with the last batch of cassava flour without even tasting it.

This batch of tapioca flour is a light pink color!

White cassava flour that is not completely detoxified will cause abdominal pain and paralysis when eaten by humans and cannot be consumed for a long time.

What's more, it is pink, which is the most obvious feature of not being detoxified.

Adults will suffer from severe abdominal pain if they eat it, and the elderly and the weak may even die if they eat it!

Upon discovering the accident, Rambo Rabbit immediately stopped production and carried out rectification, and requested the garrison in Hekou Town to intervene and seal off the entire processing plant.

At the same time, we traced the whereabouts of the last few batches of cassava flour and sent people to check its toxicity. Finally, we successfully recovered 20 taels (tons) of poisonous cassava flour.

These cassava flours have varying degrees of toxicity. Although not lethal, they cannot be used as staple food.

The cassava flour processing plant is the property of the Lord's Palace. Every account is clear and the logistics are also the fleet of the Lord's Palace or designated trading partners, so it is very easy to trace.

If it was made in a private workshop and sold everywhere, it would have been eaten by people by now.

Olivia was furious when she learned about this and ordered a thorough investigation.

The supervisors and workers of the detoxification workshop were all hanged as a warning to all, and the rest of the people involved in the case were all dismissed from their posts, had their homes confiscated, and were forced to do forced labor!

The factory manager, Rambo Rabbit, failed to supervise properly and bears leadership responsibility. He was demoted and had his salary reduced, and was placed on probation.

His friends were rewarded for their report and were given official positions.

The other three processing bases in Hewan - the Stone Fort Cassava Processing Plant, the Isenbol Cassava Processing Plant, and the Buck Fort Cassava Processing Plant - have all been inspected strictly.

After reading the entire report, Leo was slightly relieved, but still angry. "I was only gone for half a year, and such a big accident happened! I have to sort things out when I get back!"

Now, cassava flour from Hewan is the staple food second only to wheat and barley. It is not only supplied to the Hewan Territory, but also consumed by more than 100,000 people in the entire Isenbol, and is also exported abroad.

Food is the most important thing for people. If a major accident happens, Hewan’s reputation will plummet and even be infamous forever.

Leo couldn't figure it out. "The detoxification workshop of the cassava flour processing plant is the core area of ​​the entire workshop and belongs to the confidential workshop of the Lord's Palace. All the workers in it are regular employees of the Lord's Palace. Even if all the silver blades are sold, it is not worth their lives to share it. Why are they so stubborn?"

Rigolav sighed and said, "If one's virtue is not in line with his position, there will be disaster. Your foundation in Hewan is still too weak."

Leo deeply agreed with this. Most of the staff members in these manor houses were illiterate. Even if he strengthened the construction of rule of law and morality, he would not be able to change them much in just a few years.

It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to educate a person. The road ahead is long and arduous.

Looking at the court bulletin again, below the poisonous potato powder incident was the news of the invasion of Count Gustav's army.

Compared with the headlines above, this piece of news is much less noticeable.

In the south, Gustav's army crossed the mountains and attempted to invade Isenpol, but was repelled by the Boar Knight Six!
